Chapter 161
Since moving into the apartment, Wang Jiazhi's life has been simple and peaceful. She spends her time at home reading, painting, and writing, then waiting for him to come home. She occasionally goes out to avoid complete isolation.
Her time seemed to have stood still, like the moment when Sleeping Beauty fell asleep under a spell. Unlike her life, the two small circles were now in turmoil. Kuang Yumin's situation had already reached a bloody juncture, but that was not discussed for now.
In the poker circle, undercurrents have been stirring since Wang Jiazhi moved into the apartment.
The ladies appeared calm on the surface as if nothing had happened, but secretly they were in an uproar.
If he had taken concubines or had a small mansion outside in the past, it would be fine, but he had always been constantly playing around and changing people, and now he was actually looking for someone to live with. Especially since Wang Jiazhi came, he had never looked for anyone else.
It's okay for others, they just feel their self-esteem is hurt, but Mrs. Yi can't sit still anymore, and the scary thing is that he never looks for anyone else.
Their relationship has been like that for a long time. It doesn't matter whether he comes home or not. As long as he can preserve his status as the wife, nothing else matters.
But now he seemed serious and wanted to live with her forever. Even if he would not divorce her, the little girl would be his second wife in name only, and she would definitely have a share of the property in the future, maybe even more than she, the main wife.
What's even more terrifying is that if she gave birth to a child, it would be even more unimaginable.
Mrs. Yi was unable to sleep or eat because of this, and the last thing she wanted to do now was see Mrs. Ma.
Although Mrs. Ma was completely banished to the cold palace, she did not suffer any other losses except the loss of a beloved lover. Mrs. Yi was different. She was smart enough to invite a wolf into the house, and her position was probably in jeopardy.
Although Lao Yi went home less often, they could see his changes from the few times he appeared.
Mrs. Yi regretted her decision. She thought that Mrs. Ma was just spoiled by her husband. Given Mr. Yi's personality, he would eventually break up no matter how much he liked her. Why was she so impatient and insisted on bringing the little girl Wang Jiazhi into the house?
Mrs. Yi thought to herself, "At first I thought she was so honest, but I never expected that, huh! A silent dog is more likely to bite."
On this day, the daughter of Lao Yi's colleague got married, and he and Mrs. Yi went there.
The bride wasn't very pretty, a bit heavyset and a bit dull. But she was pretty enough, and the focus of the day was destined to be someone else.
Because today a famous beautiful lady is here.
Knowing she was coming, everyone present, young and old, regardless of gender, secretly watched her actions.
This beautiful woman's surname is Qiao, and her experience can be regarded as legendary.
Her family was middle class, and although she was extremely beautiful and charming, it was almost impossible for her to marry into a wealthy family given her family background. After graduating from high school, she married a small clerk at her parents' behest.
A distant relative of her husband's family worked as a servant in her second husband's house. No one knew how she took advantage of this relationship, but she hooked up with him anyway.
That man was also a famous person there. His wife stayed in his hometown in the countryside and had a lot of fun, but she didn't pay attention to him and didn't take a wife home. But after meeting her, things were different. She was also a very resourceful person. She made the man go against everyone's opinion and marry her as his concubine.
A few years later, the eldest wife passed away, and she became the legitimate wife. Two years ago, that man died before he was seventy years old. Although she had no children, he specially gave her a large amount of inheritance.
When that man was alive, she had more than one man outside. After she became a widow and divided the family property, she was able to walk a clear path and became a famous socialite.
Compared to that place, she prefers the modern and prosperous Shanghai. This time she officially moved here and settled down less than a month ago.
Her arrival caused quite a stir in the pseudo-fate community here, especially those who had never seen her true face. Upon hearing that she would be coming today, they all came to see her.
She walked over to greet Mrs. Yi and her group. It was also the first time Mrs. Yi met her.
She was tall and thin, and looked even taller than Wang Jiazhi. She had fair skin and a pair of slender fox-like eyebrows and eyes, which were simply captivating.
Wearing a long cheongsam with a white and golden trim and high heels with white rhinestones, she looked even more slender and tall, shining like a star, just like Zhao Feiyan. Not only men like her, but women also stare at her.
Mrs. Yi sighed in her heart: "What a beauty."
Mrs. Yi called out, "Mrs. Yuan."
She smiled and said, "It's better to call me Ms. Qiao. Now that men and women are equal, there's no need to take your husband's surname."
The other ladies smiled, thinking that they were just afraid that people would think she had a husband and that this would prevent her from seducing other men.
A colleague said to Lao Yi: "She is really beautiful. Have you seen her before?"
He said: "I have never seen it, I have only heard of it."
Another colleague said, "Seeing is believing."
A few people were talking, and she came over to say hello to them.
She exchanged a few pleasantries with a few people, and they were all wondering who she was interested in.
Ms. Qiao's husband held a similar official position to Mr. Yi, so when they sat down, she sat next to Mrs. Yi.
The two of them had a very pleasant conversation and were very affectionate. They agreed to go to my house to play mahjong after the banquet that day.
They all knew it very well. Mrs. Yi could see that she wanted to make friends with Old Yi.
Although Wang Jiazhi was somewhat pretty, she paled in comparison to this peerless beauty. Furthermore, this woman was clearly a master of pleasure, while Wang Jiazhi was like a little girl who didn't quite understand how to seduce a man.
Mrs. Yi thought that it would be best if she could use Ms. Qiao to break them up while Wang Jiazhi was still a nobody. Ms. Qiao was definitely not a pushover, but she was also not the type to live an honest life as a second wife. There was no need to worry about her staying with Old Yi for long.
He had been too busy these days and hadn't been home for two days. Wang Jiazhi was bored and wondered what he was doing now.
She was in her pajamas, with her hair down, and she put down her book and saw that it was almost ten o'clock.
She suddenly had a bold idea to go see a midnight movie.
She has never seen a late-night movie, and she may not have the chance to do so in the future.
Although this may not be a big deal for others, it is a big deal for her because it is very scary for a girl to go out alone after dark, and she has no one to accompany her.
Wang Jiazhi thought to herself, it would be better to go today than to wait until another day.
Anyway, the driver is here, so nothing will go wrong.
She quickly packed up, said goodbye to her mother and went out.
My mother wondered what was wrong with her. If they hadn't been so nice to each other, she would have reported her for having an affair.
There were only a limited number of midnight shows, and Wang Jiazhi never understood why the movies were shown so late when there weren't many people watching.
There was actually a horror movie in it. She thought that watching it in the middle of the night would be so scary that it would kill people.
She wasn't afraid of real ghosts, even when she was haunted. But she was very afraid of the ghosts portrayed in movies, and she never dared to watch any horror movies.
Especially since this horror movie is advertised as scaring people to death.
This thought flashed through her mind, and she herself couldn't believe she had the courage to do it. But then she thought, since she had the guts to go out and watch a late-night movie, she might as well go all out and watch her first horror movie.
Many ideas are like this. At the beginning, I feel that I would never do this, but in an instant, I decide to do it.
Wang Jiazhi bought tickets for a horror movie. When she walked in, there were very few people, but she still took the seat indicated on her ticket. Gradually, a few people came in, and she realized that most of them seemed to be couples.
Because there were so few people and it was very quiet, even though she was several rows away, she could still hear the boy say to the girl, "Don't worry, don't worry. If you're scared, I'm here."
The girl said, "I'm most afraid of watching this kind of ghost movie."
Wang Jiazhi thought that he wanted to show off in front of girls. Maybe he also thought that girls would rush into his arms out of fear, afraid and screaming, and keep trying to get into his arms, so that he could take advantage of them.
Only then did she realize that her presence had really spoiled the mood. Perhaps one of the main reasons for the existence of late-night movies was that they were for couples in love.
She came alone, so what? Others would think she was a freak. But there were one or two other people sitting in the corner who were also there, so they probably had a special reason.
Anyway, in the eyes of others, she must be abnormal.
This movie wasn't particularly scary, but as someone who's afraid of even the simplest ghost stories, it was terrifying enough for her.
But she still pretended to be strong and didn't scream. She closed her eyes when it was really scary.
There was a scene that happened too suddenly. A man gave the jewelry he took from a dead person to his wife. His wife put it on and turned around with a smile, but immediately turned into a corpse.
Originally, Wang Jiazhi was not that scared, but the boy behind her shouted "Ah", which scared her. She turned around and saw the girl comforting him.
Wang Jiazhi thought, didn't he say he could protect her? What a shame, he was the one who got scared in the end.
This was a huge achievement for Wang Jiazhi. She actually insisted on watching the whole movie and didn't scream out in fear.
The movie was over at almost one o'clock. She took the bus back home, the horrific scene still flashing in her mind.
She thought to herself, how terrible it was. She was very tired, but she would think about it as soon as she closed her eyes. How could she sleep?
When Wang Jiazhi returned home, her mother came to open the door.
She thought it was okay once in a while, and it would be a shame to keep the driver and her mother awake so late. The driver had already given her a tip, so she didn't know if her mother would need one tomorrow. She figured it was just opening the door, and giving it this time wouldn't count. He often came back late at night anyway.
She was thinking about these things in a daze, and when she went upstairs, she couldn't help but think of the terrible scene.
She shook her head and opened the door. The room was pitch black. Before entering, she reminded herself that the two bright spots were cats and she must not be scared.
Wang Jiazhi quickly turned on the light. It was so scary that she would never watch a horror movie again.
She hurriedly changed her clothes and just fell on the bed when something under the quilt hugged her.
"Ah!" she yelled a few times and heard him laughing.
She was still in shock, ruffling her hair, and said with a smile: "What are you doing? Don't scare me like that."
He came back not long after she left, and his mother said she had gone out to see a movie.
When he heard that she was back, he covered her with a quilt to scare her, but he didn't expect that she had just come back from watching a horror movie and was scared like this by him.
She told him about the horror movie and exaggerated the plot, knowing that he was not afraid.
I don't think he would be afraid. How could a big ghost be afraid of a small ghost?
After turning off the lights, she nestled into his arms and said, "I'm very tired, but I'm also very scared. What should I do if I can't sleep?"
"Hold me and I'll fall asleep quickly."
"I was still thinking about how I could sleep alone without you. I won't read it again."
Hearing her say this, he deliberately told her a story about a "vest", which scared her so much that she screamed "Ah", and kept trying to get into his arms because of fear and shouting.
Wang Jiazhi thought: Sure enough, this is what men have in common.
The next morning, when he was about to go out, she put her arm around him and started to act coquettishly.
He said, "I'll be back if nothing happens, don't be afraid."
"Hmm~"
"I'll tell you a new bedtime story at night to get you to sleep."
"don't want!"
