Chapter 21 Scheming and Spoiled Stepsister VS Cold Childhood Sweetheart Brother
Since Fu Xunzhou left in a huff that day, he has never returned to Xingjian Road, and she hasn't seen him for a long time.
"Zhizhi, my baby..."
Xu Qingran knew they had argued, and looking at Jiang Zhiyi who was silent beside her, she felt extremely sorry for her.
"Shall we go out and have some fun tonight?"
Xu Qingran had already made up her mind. There were so many good men out there, and Zhizhi was so beautiful and cute; she was sure she could find someone even better.
If Zhizhi doesn't want to look for someone herself, then she'll help arrange it, finding seven or eight people, she won't mind.
"No, I have to go back to the old house today," Jiang Zhiyi said, declining the offer.
"Then just tell me whenever you want to go. Cheer up, Zhizhi."
"With you here, you're worth ten people. I'm so happy!" Jiang Zhiyi praised her.
The two of them started playfully fighting again.
The Fu family.
"Your Uncle Fu hasn't been in City A for the past couple of days. I have something to tell you."
Jiang Yao pulled her to the room.
"I asked you before what you thought of Xu Qingrang. I want you two to try getting to know each other. Marrying into the Xu family would be a good option."
"Mom, I don't know him well."
“I know. But feelings can be cultivated slowly, and I’ve also found quite a few other candidates for you.”
"We can get to know him first. If we really don't like him, then we can consider other people."
Jiang Yao patiently persuaded her.
“You and Qingran are such good friends, and Mrs. Xu is a gentle and virtuous person who won’t make things difficult for you. Their family is well-off in all aspects, and your mother has carefully considered this for you.”
Jiang Zhiyi lowered her head and remained silent.
"Zhizhi, you also know that your mother's relationship with your Uncle Fu is not as good as you think."
"We've been in the Fu family for so many years, but in reality, we have no status and could be abandoned at any time. Mom just hopes that you can have a better life in the future."
“After Xunzhou settles down and starts a family, our situation will only become more difficult. I don’t care about myself, but you have a long way to go, and I’m worried about you.”
Jiang Zhiyi certainly knew, and she knew even more.
Even though Jiang Yao has been in the Fu family for so many years, she and Fu Chengzhao have never registered their marriage.
Legally speaking, if any unforeseen circumstances arise in the future, they will receive nothing.
Throughout the entire process, Fu Chengzhao never acknowledged Jiang Yao's identity.
"Mom, I'll do whatever you say. You can arrange it for me."
Jiang Zhiyi held the woman whose eyes were slightly moist, and could only pretend to agree for the time being.
Jiang Yao stroked her daughter's head and sighed.
Having lived in the Fu family for so many years, she has always felt like she is walking on thin ice, and there has almost never been a moment when she can feel at ease.
And then there's her Zhizhi, who has to learn to be obedient and sensible from a young age, to please the Fu family father and son, and in this family she can't cry or make a fuss, and has to always watch their expressions.
After leaving the Fu residence.
Master, what do you want to do next?
Tuantuan asked her a question.
Although the male lead is currently ignoring her, he is far from being disgusted with her.
Her monthly expenses remained unchanged.
This shows that the male protagonist still has some hope for her. Although she angered him, he still showed her some leniency.
What she needs to do next is to tear apart even this last bit of courtesy.
As for what to do, she had already figured it out.
She just needed to get back together with him for the time being, because only by staying by his side could she make her move.
When he experiences the fatal blow and betrayal he suffered, the broken mirror between them will never be mended.
"Can you find out the male lead's current address?"
"Yes, Master."
apartment.
Just as Fu Xunzhou was about to open the door and go in, he was suddenly hugged from behind.
Along with the smell of alcohol, the newcomer must have been quite drunk.
“Brother Xunzhou…” Jiang Zhiyi’s voice choked with emotion.
Fu Xunzhou's eyes narrowed slightly, his face expressionless.
"Let go."
He forcibly tried to pull the girl's hands away.
The already drunk person was pulled away and couldn't stand up straight; she almost fell to the ground.
The man instinctively bent down and scooped the person up.
But it was too late; the girl's head slammed into the door with a loud thud, leaving a red mark on her forehead.
Jiang Zhiyi was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face, and she began to sob softly.
Fu Xunzhou looked at her coldly, but in the end, he pursed his lips and carried her inside.
He placed her on the sofa and went to get an ice pack to apply to the wound on her forehead.
The girl hugged him, nestled in his arms, and cried, tears streaming down her face. She looked incredibly pitiful.
"Brother Xunzhou, are you still angry?" she suddenly asked.
"If that's all you're here to say, then you can leave now."
The man put down the ice pack in his hand and tried to push the person away.
"I'm not leaving."
She clung to him tightly, clinging to him as if she would never leave.
"I know I shouldn't have lied to you... but so what?"
"I only lied to you, you're all I have."
"How about we pretend nothing happened? Let's just act like before."
She explained it to him.
The man was almost laughing in exasperation at her explanation; she was lying to him, and only to him.
"Get out of here now."
Another dismissal.
Fu Xunzhou stared at her, his expression sinister and wary, his gaze as cold as a thin blade.
"Don't you really want me anymore?"
Jiang Zhiyi looked at him.
She quickly added, "Now that you're the one who doesn't want me anymore, I won't want you either!"
“Then I’ll go and lie to other men, pester him, lie to him and say I miss him, like him, love him, and then sleep with him so he’ll protect me.”
The man's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened.
He grabbed her hand directly.
"Let go of me!" The girl had lost her patience and hit him hard with her other hand.
The man was so angry that he didn't want to speak, not even a single word.
"Let go! I don't want you anymore! You bastard, liar, heartless man!" she retorted.
He snorted coldly, picked her up, and carried her into the bedroom, a mocking smile on his face.
"Besides me, who else can give you what you want?"
