Uncle He didn't speak, his eyes filled with vicissitudes. His Adam's apple bobbed, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end, it all turned into a long sigh.
Seeing this, Xu Jiajia panicked even more: "Uncle, what exactly does Fourth Master mean? What do you mean I don't need to go to Mom and Dad's death anniversaries?"
Uncle He remained silent. He was heartbroken, but he also understood that Fourth Master had already done everything he could to be kind and righteous.
All of this is what Jiajia should have to endure.
Tang Yaoyao smiled at her appearance, covering her mouth: "So, you mean to have everyone as witnesses and instruct your brother to assault me? Xu Jiajia, from now on, your life will no longer be linked to Master Xiao. You did it perfectly."
Xu Jiajia's face grew paler and paler until even the spot where she had been slapped was completely drained of color.
"What do you mean by 'no longer linked'...?"
"Was it hard to understand what Fourth Master said at the end?" Tang Yaoyao smiled, a hint of despondency in her eyes: "Take good care of yourself and enjoy your last few days. Prison is nothing like Fourth Master Xiao's manor."
Boom—
It was as if lightning had struck the back of Xu Jiajia's head; her mind went blank, and all she could hear was a buzzing in her ears.
Fourth Master said that he would visit her parents' graves in the coming years.
It's only been in the last few years.
I won't go there anymore.
How could that be...?
How is this possible...?
From then on, she and Si Zhen became like strangers.
Tang Yaoyao and Ziyi walked outside the living room and heard Xu Jiajia's devastating scream from behind.
This sound was filled with endless shrillness and sorrow.
Those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves.
If we're talking about striking at the heart, Xiao Jinhan is far more cunning than her.
He knew how to make Xu Jiajia truly despair.
If Xu Jiajia only goes to jail, she won't learn her lesson and will instead wait to take revenge after her release.
But now, Xiao Jinhan's simple words severed all ties with Xu Jiajia, leaving her with no desire to leave the prison.
Because the life she had always longed for was gone, and she could never go back to Xiao Jinhan.
Even the sibling relationship she once least wanted was gone.
Tang Yaoyao's beautiful red lips curved slightly, her smile alluring: "Brother Ziyi, don't you feel the weather is great today, hmm?"
"Hmm, not bad." Ziyi knew she was in a good mood.
It's not just good, it's absolutely amazing!
Just as she was about to go back to her room for a good beauty sleep, Jiang Ci walked towards her.
"Miss Tang."
"What's wrong? Fourth Master, do you miss me?" Tang Yaoyao licked her lips, her smile both obedient and alluring, her voice indescribably seductive.
Jiang Ci: "......"
He looked away and coughed lightly: "Fourth Master is in the back garden. He asked me to come and invite you."
Tang Yaoyao's fox-like eyes curved into crescent moons, revealing two adorable little tiger teeth: "Looks like you missed me~"
Jiang Ci: "......"
Miss Tang's alluring charm is simply irresistible...
Afterwards, Tang Yaoyao led Ziyi to the back garden.
Jiang Ci followed behind.
From afar, she could see him sitting in the pavilion, his back to her, a deep and cold presence, like a gentle breeze.
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she strode over. Before she even got close, her voice preceded her words: "Fourth Master, are you bored sitting alone in the cool air, so you want me to keep you company?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood before him, looking at his deep, handsome face, and said lazily, "My time is very precious, you know~"
Xiao Jinhan looked up.
Their eyes met, and it was as if an invisible, transparent line connected the two ends.
A deep and narrow one.
A seductive glance.
Jiang Ci stood to the side, even slowing her breathing considerably.
Zi Yi kept his head down, his thoughts unknown.
The two stared at each other for several seconds without making any other move.
Tang Yaoyao stood up and curled her lips into a faint, amused smile: "Fourth Master called me over, perhaps to hear me say thank you?"
Xiao Jinhan remained silent.
Actually, she couldn't guess why he had called her over; it was just a casual remark.
If I don't hear a response from him, I'll take it as tacit consent.
He sat down on the wooden stool beside him, his posture relaxed but his attitude nonchalant, a hint of wickedness in his eyes: "Then you may be disappointed."
Ultimately, all of this stemmed from him. He did all this to get rid of his unwanted romantic entanglements, so why should she thank him?
"Miss Tang, would you like to hear me apologize?"
Tang Yaoyao smiled and shook her head: "Of course not. She doesn't represent you, and what she did has nothing to do with you. At most, we're even now."
oh.
Not entirely.
She had also promised to cure his illness, which she now owes him.
Tang Yaoyao's rosy lips curved slightly: "Did Fourth Master suspect her from the very beginning?"
"Um."
Tang Yaoyao pursed her lips gently: "Since I'm not here to thank you, I'll be leaving now."
"Xu Xingqiao," Xiao Jinhan said indifferently, his voice somewhat low.
Tang Yaoyao raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Fourth Master is reluctant to part with it?"
After all, he is a child of the Xu family.
"He touched you?"
Xiao Jinhan's deep voice was no different from usual, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
But Jiang Ci saw his bloodthirsty side and couldn't help but shudder.
"Since it was an act of violence, of course there was touching, but it didn't succeed. Why is Fourth Master asking about this?"
Xiao Jinhan remained silent for a moment, a hint of tenderness surfacing in his dark chestnut eyes, which he himself did not notice.
His voice was captivating: "It's nothing, go and rest."
Okay.
The moment Tang Yaoyao turned around, she suddenly heard him say, "I'm sorry, there won't be a next time."
Huh?
She narrowed her fox-like eyes and looked back at him, somewhat confused.
Is Xiao Lao Si apologizing?
This matter actually has nothing to do with him.
However, she wasn't one to be pretentious. After all, it was Xiao Jinhan. If he wanted to apologize, she would naturally accept it. She smiled lazily and said, "It's alright, it's alright. Just keep your unwanted suitors in check next time."
Jiang Ci: "..."
Sure enough, Miss Tang's skill in running a dye shop has never waned.
She is the kind of person who shines brightly when given a little sunshine, but her radiance is dazzling and more beautiful than the stars.
Tang Yaoyao waved her hand and then left.
Xiao Jinhan stared at her retreating figure, his dark chestnut pupils growing ever deeper. After a long while, he finally looked away, his aura growing increasingly cold.
"Jiang Ci".
Jiang Ci's heart pounded wildly, sensing endless cruelty beneath the Fourth Master's calm eyes.
"Fourth Master, what are your orders?"
Xiao Jinhan lowered his eyes, his voice indescribably desolate and cold: "After Xu Xingqiao goes to prison, find some time to visit him in his cell."
"Yes, Fourth Master." Jiang Ci nodded respectfully.
Xiao Jinhan raised his head again, his voice much hoarse: "Do something for me."
Jiang Ci's heart pounded wildly, feeling an overwhelming chill emanating from him.
She nodded slightly: "Fourth Master, please speak."
