Chapter 56
Although I was a little nervous, I still subconsciously avoided it. Xiao Shi was stunned.
I didn't dare look at Xiao Shi's hurt eyes and whispered "I'm sorry".
Although I have a good impression of Xiao Shi, I am still the young lady of the Jiang family after all.
With my status, I won’t allow myself to do anything that would let the Jiang family down.
Xiao Shizheng took a while to come back to his senses.
"I'm the one who should say sorry. I lost my composure after drinking."
"Xiao Wan, I am willing to wait for you."
"It's getting late, let me take you home first." I looked up at him.
After sending Xiao Shi home, he gave me the car keys and asked me to drive his car back to Jiang's house. After thinking about it, I realized that it would be difficult to get a taxi in the middle of the night.
"If you're worried about the Jiang family misunderstanding you, just drive the car to the gate of the community," Xiao Shi said.
I nodded and agreed, letting Xiao Shi rest early because he had to go to work tomorrow.
After parking Xiao Shi’s car outside the community, he entered the community and returned to the Jiang family’s old house.
After going upstairs and entering the house, I found Jiang Ruohe still taking a shower in the bathroom. It seemed that he had just come back. After a while, I heard Jiang Ruohe humming a song in the bathroom. He seemed to be in a good mood.
It seemed that he had reconciled with Huang Minwei. I glanced coldly at the bathroom, sat in front of the makeup mirror and started to remove my makeup.
After a while, I saw Jiang Ruohe coming out of the bathroom in the makeup mirror. He looked up at me, called me, and told me to take a shower. His tone was much gentler.
I have to say that after reconciling with Huang Minwei, even his temper has calmed down a bit.
After taking a shower, I turned off the lights and climbed into bed. At night, I dreamed of Jiang Ruohe and Huang Minwei making love. I stood aside and scolded them for being disgusting. After a while, I woke up in anger.
Through the dim moonlight, I saw Jiang Ruohe sleeping on the floor. He was looking at me with his eyes open. When he saw me wake up, he was stunned.
The two of them just stared at each other. When Jiang Ruohe moved his lips to say something, I rolled my eyes at him, turned over, turned my back to him, and planned to continue sleeping.
But I couldn't fall asleep in the second half of the night. I don't know why, but I felt restless and anxious. I turned over again and found that Jiang Ruohe was asleep in the light. I snorted, pulled the quilt, and forced myself to fall asleep.
When I woke up in the morning, he was gone.
When breakfast was almost over, Jiang Yichen and Jiang Ting walked down arm in arm.
"Mom, I'm telling you, I was pissed off by that woman yesterday. Even though she was the one who saw the watch first, I was the one who asked to pay first. And it was in Grandpa's department store, but she didn't even give me any face and pushed me to the ground. Just thinking about it makes me angry."
Jiang Ting stopped and looked at Jiang Yichen with some distress, asking why Jiang Yichen didn't tell her yesterday.
"Whoever dares to bully my daughter, I will make her pay for it." Jiang Ting suddenly glanced at me who was having breakfast downstairs.
It seemed that these words were deliberately said to me, but I ignored them and continued to eat porridge.
Jiang Yichen also glanced in my direction. I thought she wouldn't continue the previous topic, but unexpectedly, she continued talking.
"Mom, don't worry. Whoever bullies me will regret it in the end. I've already found out about that woman, and I plan to take away her most beloved thing..."
"Haha, just thinking about her crying and screaming makes me happy. Mom, please wait for my good news."
Hearing Jiang Yuchen's arrogant tone, I couldn't help but feel sad for Jiang Ting. Jiang Ruohe was right. Jiang Ting really didn't pay attention to Jiang Yichen's education. It was just her foolish pampering that cultivated Jiang Yichen's arrogant and domineering character. Jiang Yichen will definitely fall in the future.
But last time I seemed to hear Jiang Ruohe talking to his uncle on the phone and asking him to take Jiang Yichen away. It can be heard that Jiang Ting and Jiang Yichen's father don't have a good relationship and are very likely divorced.
If Jiang Yichen's father came to pick them up, Jiang Ting probably wouldn't agree.
She came downstairs and sat opposite me.
"Mom, do you smell something bad?" Jiang Yichen suddenly said after a while.
I looked up at Jiang Yichen and found that she was looking at me provocatively. Not wanting to get entangled with her any further, I put down my chopsticks and stood up to leave.
"Oh, it's really strange. As soon as this person left, the stench disappeared. It seems that this stench is coming from someone else."
"It really stinks." Jiang Ting said.
I stopped and turned to look at the mother and son coldly.
"Auntie Wang, come here."
Mother Wang came out of the kitchen and asked me what was wrong.
"This is a new dress that Grandpa gave me a few days ago. He said it has a natural lavender scent. Can you smell it for me? Is it true?"
Wang Ma sniffed it and said it smelled very pleasant and fragrant.
"Madam, you may not know this, but this was custom-made overseas at great expense by the master. There is only one such model in the world, and no one else can even dream of it."
"After you wear this dress, give it to me tonight. I'll have Butler Chen take it to a special cleaning shop. I guarantee it will still smell as nice the next day."
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Ting's face stiffen, and Jiang Yichen muttered to himself, saying it was no big deal.
I looked up at Aunt Wang and said that this fragrance, combined with the scent of sandalwood in the room, was even more comfortable to smell and simply made people feel relaxed and happy.
Aunt Wang said that the master liked the smell of sandalwood, so she started cleaning the house at five in the morning every day to ensure that there was no strange smell in the entire house.
"Of course. The house that Aunt Wang cleaned so carefully, even the air is fresh. If some people can still smell a bad odor, it can only be said that what they smell is their own bad odor." I looked at Jiang Yichen indifferently.
Jiang Yichen's face darkened and he slammed the table and stood up.
"Yu Xiaowan, you shameless person, what are you talking about..."
Aunt Wang, who was standing nearby, grew cold.
"Miss, do you want to experience life in Syria?"
Jiang Yichen was annoyed and stared at Wang Ma.
"Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to criticize me? I'm just a dog raised by the Jiang family..."
Before Jiang Yichen could finish his words, he was stopped by Jiang Ting.
"Yichen, apologize to Mother Wang."
I was a little surprised by Jiang Ting's attitude.
"Mom, look at how they bully me. It's really too much..."
"Don't make me say it a second time." Jiang Ting's voice became a little colder.
Perhaps Jiang Ting's expression was too stern, so Jiang Yichen was forced to apologize to Wang Ma.
Although Wang Ma looked unhappy, she accepted Jiang Yichen's apology. After the apology, Jiang Yichen left angrily.
Jiang Ting stood up, walked to Wang Ma's side and looked at her.
"Sister Wang, Yichen, I'm really sorry that I spoiled you too much." Jiang Ting said and went out to chase Jiang Yichen.
Given Jiang Ting's personality, I never thought that she would ask Jiang Yichen to apologize to Wang Ma. I think it might be because Wang Ma has served in the Jiang family for many years.
I turned around and looked at Aunt Wang with some apology, only to find that Aunt Wang was looking at Jiang Ting's back with a trace of sadness in her eyes. When Aunt Wang saw me looking at her, she came back to her senses.
"Before she fell in love with that man, Xiaoting wasn't like this. It's a pity that man ruined her, causing Xiaoting to become a different person, and also educated Yichen into this way..."
Mother Wang sighed several times. I was a little confused and asked, "Is he Jiang Yichen's father?"
"Yes. It's really a sin." Aunt Wang started to clear the table, and I didn't continue to ask questions.
Two days passed quietly. During these two days, Jiang Ruohe and I were at peace. Huang Minwei talked to him on the phone every night, and their relationship seemed to have returned to what it was before.
Sitting in front of the makeup mirror, looking at the desk calendar, I calculated that there were only ten days left before Jiang Ruohe and I divorced. I felt happy just thinking about it. I picked up a pen, circled the day of the divorce, and wrote "rebirth".
I heard Jiang Ruohe snort coldly from behind me. I turned around and found that Jiang Ruohe had stood behind me at some point, staring at my calendar.
I stood up from the stool and turned to look at him, not quite understanding why he was so angry. I clasped my hands together and gave Jiang Ruohe a teasing look.
"Why? Mr. Jiang is reluctant?"
Jiang Ruohe paused, came back to his senses and gave me a cold look.
"You're overthinking it. Divorce agreement. I've already asked a lawyer to draft it."
My face darkened and I reached out, asking him to bring the divorce agreement quickly so that we could sign it earlier.
Jiang Ruohe's eyes flashed with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said that there were still ten days left.
"This young master will not keep you for a minute longer, but I will not let you go a minute earlier either, lest you play some tricks and complain to Grandpa. If that happens, I'm afraid this marriage will not be able to be divorced."
"Jiang Ruohe." I looked at him angrily, but he had just taken a shower and was emitting a pleasant bath scent that made me feel a little uncomfortable.
Not wanting to get entangled with him any more, I took my pajamas and prepared to go into the bathroom. Jiang Ruohe smiled slightly and turned around to blow dry his hair.
He reached out and closed the bathroom door, his face darkening.
"Jiang Ruohe, you're a bastard. Who cares about playing tricks? I wish we could get a divorce right now, right now."
When I opened the bathroom door, Jiang Ruohe was talking on the phone.
"Have you found out who she is? I don't have the patience to keep pretending with her."
"I just want to know the truth. Five million. I'll give you ten days to find him as soon as possible."
Jiang Ruohe hung up the phone and didn't notice me standing at the bathroom door. He walked to the balcony, lit a cigarette and started smoking.
I looked at his back with some confusion, wondering who he was looking for. At this moment, Jiang Ruohe's phone rang. Needless to say, it was Huang Minwei calling.
Huang Minwei has been very punctual lately, and is particularly afraid of losing Jiang Ruohe, whom she had finally won back.
I was sitting in front of the makeup mirror, applying face cream, when I suddenly remembered the person behind the scenes who gave her advice, as Huang Minwei mentioned. My eyes turned cold, and I wrote a name on the dressing table with my fingers. I sighed and decided to bear it for a while.
I threw back the covers and lay down on the bed.
At this moment, Jiang Ruohe was still on the balcony talking on the phone with Huang Minwei.
"Yeah, I missed you too."
I was half lying on the bed, staring at Jiang Ruohe's back. This phone call in the middle of the night seriously affected my sleep. If there were not only ten days left, I would have kicked this guy out long ago.
I don't know if Jiang Ruohe felt my gaze and turned his head. I quickly looked away. That guy probably wanted to piss me off on purpose. He deliberately came into the house from the balcony, sat on the floor, and started chatting with Huang Minwei again.
After enduring Jiang Ruohe for half an hour, I looked at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock and the two of them were still talking on the phone.
I don't know what's going on lately, I've been feeling extremely sleepy and irritable. I put down my phone and was about to explode when Jiang Ruohe finally hung up the phone.
"What? Are you unhappy?" Jiang Ruohe looked at me.
I was too lazy to pay attention to him. Just as I was about to cover myself with the quilt and go to sleep, my phone suddenly rang. It was a text message from Xiao Shi, asking me if I had slept yet.
The man sleeping on the floor had a darkening face, snorted, and turned over to sleep. I reached out to turn off the light, and sent a text message to Xiao Shi, saying that I was about to go to bed and asked him what he wanted to talk to me about.
Xiao Shi quickly replied to my text message, saying that he had a day off the next day and was going to Qingcheng. He knew that I liked lavender, and that a friend of his had just opened a large lavender farm in Qingcheng, and asked him to go over and play. He asked if I wanted to go with him.
I thought about it and replied that I had an appointment with Yang Ru to go shopping tomorrow and couldn’t go.
"Okay then. Good night."
Early the next morning, I called Yang Ru and asked her if she had time. Yang Ru said she was on vacation these days and was very idle.
"Okay, let's go shopping together."
Yang Ru nodded. After I hung up the phone, I went downstairs and saw Jiang Yichen eating breakfast there. As for Jiang Ting, it seemed that she had not come back for the past two nights.
Jiang Yichen seemed particularly happy today. He didn't say anything harsh when he saw me, and the two of them seemed to be getting along peacefully.
After breakfast, I was about to go out with my bag, but I unexpectedly ran into Wang Yingzhi, who was carrying a bag in her hand.
"Mom." I still called out politely.
Wang Yingzhi snorted and rolled her eyes at me.
"We're almost getting divorced, and you still have the nerve to call me that."
I didn't say anything. When Jiang Yichen saw Wang Yingzhi coming, he stood up happily and walked to Wang Yingzhi's side.
"Aunt, you're here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Let's go and have breakfast first."
Jiang Yichen pulled Wang Yingzhi away.
So I went out.
But just as he reached the gate of the community, he realized that his cell phone was left in the room, so he turned back.
When I entered the room, Aunt Wang was already clearing the table. It seemed that Jiang Yichen and Wang Yingzhi had gone upstairs.
As soon as I reached the third floor stairs, I heard Jiang Yichen's voice and stopped immediately. Doesn't Jiang Yichen live on the second floor? Why did he come to the third floor?
"While grandpa is not in Nancheng, I want to teach Yu Xiaowan a lesson."
"Indeed, if it weren't for her, how could I have been kicked out by Dad? Dad is really old and confused. He has defended Yu Xiaowan many times, which really pissed me off."
"Even though she and Ruohe are getting divorced, I get annoyed whenever I see her. If it weren't for her, Minwei, the daughter-in-law I dreamed of, would have married into the Jiang family long ago. She also caused me to lose a grandson. I get angry whenever I mention her."
"Yeah, if it weren't for her, how could Sister Minwei be so frustrated? Yesterday, I heard Sister Minwei tell me that her cousin wasn't as nice to her as before because of Yu Xiaowan. Although they are still in love, it seems that he hasn't touched her since the miscarriage. No matter how she seduces, her cousin doesn't respond at all. Sister Minwei is so anxious..."
After hearing what Jiang Yichen said, I recalled what happened in the restaurant a few days ago. It seemed that Jiang Ruohe really didn't touch Huang Minwei, and Huang Minwei just did it on purpose to show me, making me think that they had done it.
Huang Minwei is so boring. I don't like Jiang Ruohe, so what's the point of doing it for me to see?
"Tell Minwei not to worry. It's only nine days. Just bear with it. It's like Xiaowan has to get out of the Jiang family. Ruohe will naturally change his mind and treat Minwei well."
"By the way, aunt, are the insects you bought all live?" Jiang Yichen asked.
I immediately became alert and pressed myself against the river bank.
"Of course I did. I spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy it from the countryside at a high price."
"That's really great. Baidu says this little bug is the size of an ant, has poison in its body, and particularly loves the scent of flowers. It also likes to hide in the fibers of clothing. It sucks human blood and causes skin ulcers. Then, Yu Xiaowan can wear the clothes that Grandpa bought her at such a high price, hahahaha..."
The two of them chuckled.
"But I'm afraid grandpa will come back to investigate this matter." Wang Yingzhi said worriedly.
"What are you afraid of? I asked Butler Chen to hold Grandpa back. He won't be back for a few days. When he comes back, he'll say it was the laundry shop that did it. Grandpa has no evidence anyway, so what can he do to me?"
"Hmph, Yu Xiaowan, weren't you very happy that your uncle bought you such a unique dress yesterday? You must be so proud. Aunt, give me the bag..."
"Will Yichen's bug run into Ruohe's clothes? I hope it won't be there when Dad comes back." Wang Yingzhi asked.
"No, this bug can't fly. It's already hiding in Yu Xiaowan's clothes. It won't run away. If Xiaowan gets bitten, I'll burn this clothes."
"Okay then."
"Aunt, I have other things to do. At ten o'clock, please send a text message to this phone number and ask that woman to go to room 808 of the Tan Hai Hotel."
"What are you going to do?"
"Isn't it to teach that woman who snatched my watch last time a lesson? She embarrassed me at the mall last time, so I made an appointment with her boyfriend. Then..."
"Hey, Yichen, when did you become so smart? This is how you should treat those who bully you."
As an elder, Wang Yingzhi knew that Jiang Yichen was going to do something bad, but she actually supported and encouraged her. She is simply crazy. When I learned that the two of them were going to come out of my room, I hurried to the fourth floor.
The fourth floor is Jiang Ruohe's gym, which has a lot of fitness equipment. Jiang Ruohe comes up every night and exercises for an hour. I stayed in the gym for a few minutes, and after hearing the two of them go downstairs, I returned to my room.
I opened the wardrobe and looked at the dress, feeling a little distressed. It was a gift from my grandfather, but I never expected...
Looking at Jiang Yichen, he is really cruel. He can actually do such a cruel thing. A trace of cruelty flashed across my eyes.
Jiang Yichen, I have never considered myself a good person. My previous tolerance was simply because I didn't want to stir up any trouble in the Jiang family. I just wanted to get rid of my marriage with Jiang Ruohe as soon as possible.
But they challenged my bottom line one after another. If I continued to tolerate them, I would look down on myself.
Jiang Yichen, you brought this upon yourself. When the time comes, no one can tell who will be the one crying.
After seeing Jiang Yichen and Wang Yingzhi leave the house from the window, I took my phone and went downstairs to meet Yang Ru at the agreed time.
"How has your boyfriend treated you during these days of vacation?" I asked Yang Ru.
"Don't mention it. It was my second day off. I bought my boyfriend a gift. He was quite happy and asked me out for dinner that night. He said we'd have a romantic night. I was happily waiting for him to come home, but he called me that night and said his boss had sent him on a business trip and he wouldn't be back for a few days."
"And I will be back to work in a few days. Let's not talk about this anymore and just go shopping." Yang Ru sighed.
After shopping with Yang Ru for half an hour, Yang Ru's cell phone rang. Yang Ru let go of my hand and asked me to look at the clothes first. She walked into the store and soon came in with a pale face. She told me that she had something urgent to do and had to leave first.
After Yang Ru left, I realized that I still had the clothes she had just bought in my hand. I hurried out and saw Yang Ru hailing a taxi and saying she was going to Tan Hai Hotel.
"Hurry up, Master."
After the taxi left, I looked down at the clothes in my hand, thinking about sending them to her later in the evening. When I was about to go home, I suddenly stopped and looked at my phone. It was exactly ten o'clock.
Could it be that the person Jiang Yichen is dealing with is Yang Ru?
I hurriedly hailed a taxi and followed them. When I arrived at Room 808, there were several people outside the door. I saw Yang Ru violently beating a naked man and questioning why he treated her like that.
"Yang Ru, Tian Mingliang just told me in bed that you have no romance at all. You just work overtime every day, and when you have time to do it, you're like a dead fish."
Yang Ru looked at Jiang Yichen fiercely, rushed to her and asked Jiang Yichen if she did it on purpose, just because she bought the watch she liked last time, that she deliberately came to sleep with her man.
"Yes, I did it on purpose. I didn't actually do anything with your man. I just lured you here on purpose." Jiang Yichen looked at Yang Ru proudly.
Yang Ru reached out to hit Jiang Yichen, but Jiang Yichen grabbed her wrist.
"If it weren't for my temptation, you wouldn't know that your man is so vulnerable to temptation. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself."
Jiang Yichen shook her hand off. He took out a bunch of photos of Yang Ru's boyfriend sleeping with different women from his bag and threw them in Yang Ru's face.
After looking at those photos, I felt that Jiang Yichen was right. He did let Yang Ru see this man clearly, but it was too cruel to reveal the truth in this way.
"Look carefully, no need to thank me." When Jiang Yichen stepped out, I was already hiding in the corridor.
It would not be rational to stand up for Yang Ru at this moment. Although I really want to comfort Yang Ru and teach Jiang Yichen a lesson for her, I am afraid that at this moment, what Yang Ru least wants is her friends or colleagues to see her embarrassment and misery.
No matter how much I felt heartbroken, I could only pretend not to know. Besides, when it comes to matters of the heart, you have to get over it on your own. Sometimes, other people's comfort will only make you more sad.
After leaving the hotel, I felt too depressed. I have to say that there are really not many good men in this world.
I went to the hospital and when I came back in the evening, I found that Jiang Yichen was already at home. When he saw me come back, a sneer flashed in his eyes.
While eating, Aunt Wang told me that Jiang Ruohe came back at four o'clock in the afternoon, but he went out ten minutes ago to receive a phone call.
No need to think, it must be Jiang Yichen who asked Huang Minwei to lead him out.
After dinner, I went back to my room. Jiang Yichen followed me in and called me sister-in-law.
I turned around and looked at her coldly and asked her what was wrong. She came over and took my hand.
"Grandpa called and gave me a lecture, which made me realize some things. I was indeed too spoiled. I was wrong to target you like that before. I came here to apologize to you."
I pretended to look at her with suspicion, thinking that if I forgave her so easily, she would be suspicious.
"Sister-in-law, I was really wrong. I promise that I will never target you again. Besides, you are about to divorce my cousin, so there is no need for me to do that, right?" Jiang Yichen said sincerely.
After she talked to me nicely for more than ten minutes, my expression finally softened and I said that I was about to leave the Jiang family anyway, so there was no need to be angry with her.
Jiang Yichen was very happy and quickly took out a piece of jewelry she bought and gave it to me to show her sincerity.
"Sister-in-law, I heard you say yesterday that the clothes you wore last night were bought for you by grandpa."
I nodded, sneered in my heart, and finally got to the point.
"Look, I think that pattern is great. How about this? Sister-in-law puts it on, I'll take a picture, and then find a designer to design something similar."
"Do you like that dress?" I asked with a smile.
"Of course I do."
I opened the wardrobe and said that if she liked it, I would give it to her.
"Come, try it on." I took the clothes out of the closet, but my hand was on the hanger.
As soon as I finished speaking, Jiang Yichen dodged away.
"This belongs to my sister-in-law. How can I have the nerve to take it? Just put it on and let me take a picture."
"It's okay if you don't want my sister-in-law's, but since you like this dress, you have to try it on first to see if it suits your temperament." I held her hand.
"Come, let your sister-in-law put it on for you." I said with a smile.
"No." A trace of panic flashed across Jiang Yichen's eyes.
I asked her innocently what was wrong?
"It's okay, sister-in-law. How about this, you try it on first and let me take a picture. My designer friend is waiting for it. After you wear it, I will try it on again to see if it fits..." Jiang Yichen looked at me with a smile, and there was some worry in his eyes that I would not be fooled.
"Then sister-in-law will wear it first, and then you?" I asked her.
Jiang Yichen nodded quickly and said that after I put it on, she would definitely wear it.
"Okay, then I'll put it on first." After saying that, I took off the clothes and put them on.
Jiang Yichen was extremely excited at this moment.
