Xu Qingyun quickly blocked with her hand, grabbed the hairpin from behind her head, and stuck it into Ji Lun's hand.
Ji Lun cried out in pain, his face turning completely cold: "Xu Qingyun, are you crazy?!"
Xu Qingyun calmly put her hair up and said, "You asked for this. Ji Lun, a dignified breakup is better for both of us."
Hearing her resolute tone, Ji Lun narrowed his charming eyes: "Xu Qingyun, is this for real? You really want to break up with me?"
"yes."
"Okay, let's break up. Don't regret it."
"With my looks and charm, I could easily have a bunch of women throwing themselves at me with a snap of my fingers. Do you really think I like a boring and unromantic woman like you?"
Ji Lun was concerned about his image. After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets, walked to the Lamborghini sports car, opened the door, and drove away.
Xu Qingyun tucked her hair behind her ears, took two deep breaths, and then turned to enter the building.
This relationship didn't seem to last long. Is this what first love feels like?
It doesn't seem to be as unforgettable or special as people say online.
After a quick wash, Xu Qingyun dried her hair.
My phone vibrated; it showed a video call from Ji Hanchen.
Without thinking, Xu Qingyun pressed "reject," instinctively feeling that Ji Hanchen was here to urge her to break up again.
Xu Qingyun felt somewhat resistant to Ji Hanchen, feeling that the man's relentless pursuit was making her feel suffocated.
Ji Hanchen raised an eyebrow slightly, typed a line of text, and then deleted it all.
Pressuring him too much might annoy the girl, and if she blocks him, it would be a losing proposition.
Once the phone went silent, Xu Qingyun lifted the silk quilt and sat down on the edge of the bed.
She recalled Ji Hanchen's words: at the Ji family's ancestral home, Ji Lun was holding Xu Jia.
The Xu family is a nouveau riche family. How could they possibly be related to a wealthy family like the Ji family with a century-old heritage?
Out of the corner of her eye, Xu Qingyun caught sight of the jade pendant on the bedside table, which was not yet fully repaired. A thought flashed through her mind: Could there be some connection between the two?
A knock on the door disturbed Xu Qingyun's thoughts. She went to the door and turned on the video surveillance.
Xu Jia?
She thought it was Ji Hanchen.
Whether she felt relieved or slightly disappointed, Xu Qingyun paused for a couple of seconds before opening the door.
Xu Jia shoved Xu Qingyun aside and walked into Xu Qingyun's house in her high heels. As she looked around, her expression was full of disdain.
"The man who's keeping you is so stingy, he only rents you a two-bedroom apartment? He can't even afford a villa, how cheap are you?"
Xu Jia looked gloating, then took a few steps away from Xu Qingyun and said, "Serving an old man must be disgusting, right? I heard he's a womanizer. Did you catch any venereal diseases? Don't infect me."
Snap!
Xu Qingyun slapped him: "If you can't speak properly, I'll teach you."
Xu Jia's eyes widened and she screamed, "You dare hit me? Do you know who I am?!"
Xu Qingyun asked indifferently, "Who are you? The mistress's daughter?"
"You bitch! I'll tear you apart!"
Xu Jia was spoiled by Liang Wanrou and Xu Sen since she was a child and had never been hit by anyone before. How could she stand this humiliation?
Besides, she knew Xu Qingyun was being kept by Xu Zhengyuan and came specifically to see the spectacle, so how could she be beaten?!
"Xu Jia, don't be stupid. I don't want to fight." Xu Qingyun was very calm and didn't even move. She just looked at Xu Jia with her cold eyes that seemed to be filled with ice.
At that moment, Xu Jia immediately felt a chill down her spine, and was inexplicably stunned by Xu Qingyun.
She didn't know why she was so afraid of Xu Qingyun. She felt that Xu Qingyun was like someone who had walked out of hell, carrying a terrifying murderous aura.
She swallowed hard, barely managing to suppress her anger and calm herself down.
"Xu Qingyun, it's my mom's birthday tomorrow. Come back and celebrate with her."
Xu Qingyun asked coldly, "What does your mother's birthday have to do with me?"
Xu Jia sneered, "Are you afraid to come because you're afraid of losing face?"
Xu Qingyun said coldly, "Since you're so unhappy about it, I'll grant your wish."
"Don't forget, tomorrow night at six." Xu Jia snorted coldly, and left in her high heels. As she left, she deliberately kicked the security door, grumbling, "It's filthy."
Going downstairs, Xu Jia quickly called Liang Wanrou: "Mom, it's your birthday tomorrow, and that bitch Xu Qingyun will be there too. Can you invite Xu Zhengyuan? Let's ask him to come. I'll also invite Brother Lun."
Liang Wanrou frowned: "You child, are you trying to make my birthday miserable?"
"Mommy, I just want to embarrass that bitch. She's always liked to steal my thunder since we were little. This time, I'm going to be the future young mistress of the Ji family, so of course I have to show off my pride."
Unable to resist her daughter's coaxing, Liang Wanrou gave in and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and do as you say."
The next day, at six o'clock in the evening, the Xu family villa was bustling with activity, filled with elegant ladies and lively crowds.
Liang Wanrou is 44 years old this year, but she was only 22 when she gave birth to Xu Jia.
Over the years, with various tonics and cosmetic procedures, Liang Wanrou's face is almost wrinkle-free.
Today she had a special beauty treatment, wore a blue cheongsam, her hair was styled in an updo, and she wore diamond earrings, looking very dignified.
Xu Jia dressed up specially today, wearing a pink strapless evening gown with a completely open back, looking like a sexy kitten.
"Mom, do I look pretty today? Do you think Brother Lun will be smitten with me?" Xu Jia enjoyed the male guests' gazes and was somewhat smug.
Liang Wanrou chuckled: "Of course. Back at the Ji family's ancestral home, Young Master Ji's manner clearly showed that he liked you."
Xu Jia also recalled the scene, her pretty face blushing: "Well, he either fell in love with me at first sight or was lustful at first sight, otherwise why would he have come up and carried me in a princess carry?"
