Li Ke had no idea how much Zhuang Weifeng hated and missed her; she was in the back alley of the bar, shoving Chen Xian in the mouth and beating him mercilessly.
Until he turned into a puddle of mud and collapsed on the ground, Li Ke, wearing gloves, poured all the goods she had taken from his body into his mouth. When Chen Xian reacted, she kicked him hard in the groin.
In her previous life, Chen Xian attacked her a year later, when Li Ke's face had basically recovered. It was summer vacation, and Li Ke didn't want to go back to the Chen family. She wanted to find a part-time job near the school.
However, Zhuang Weifeng went back to the United States without taking Chen Jiaojiao with him. Chen Jiaojiao then insisted that she go back to the Chen family with her. Li Ke was moved by her pleas and agreed.
At that time, Li Ke really liked Chen Jiaojiao, her younger sister. She was delicate and cute, and occasionally liked to throw tantrums, but she was also the only one in the Chen family who would speak up for her, stand up for her, and comfort her. Of course, all of this happened when the two of them were together in private.
Most of the time, Chen Jiaojiao has her own social circle. Only when she returns home, to her apartment where it's just the two of them, does Chen Jiaojiao become particularly dependent on Li Ke, seeking her help for everything.
How could Li Ke not understand that she was dispensable to Chen Jiaojiao? But at the time, she didn't think it mattered; Chen Jiaojiao was her sister.
During this trip back to the Chen family home, Li Ke was once again assigned to work as a handyman at the supermarket. However, this time Chen Jiaojiao helped her secure a monthly salary of 1,200 yuan. Although it wasn't much, Li Ke was still quite happy.
Moreover, Li Zhenzhen paid for her vocational school tuition. Li Ke worked hard to earn money, partly for living expenses and partly to buy a house as soon as possible.
Regardless, she had been eating at the Chen family's house for so long, and Li Zhenzhen had never shortchanged her on tuition and fees. At that time, Li Ke was very content and grateful, and never complained about it.
However, she was ultimately an awkward and superfluous presence in the Chen family, and if possible, Li Ke would naturally want to leave.
For the two weeks that Li Ke was home, he worked from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. When he returned to the Chen family villa, almost everyone in the family was resting. Only Benben, the tall little Malinois, would be whimpering anxiously in its doghouse, wanting Li Ke to come home late so he could pet it and have a good time with it.
Benben is only a little over a year old. It is naturally fond of being close to people. When Li Ke came back during the winter vacation, it immediately recognized the person it hadn't seen for almost half a year and who had only fed it a few times.
It wagged its tail affectionately, hummed loudly, and even lay down on the ground to expose its belly for Li Ke to rub. Even though it had black fur, was tall and fierce, Li Ke couldn't help but soften her heart and like it.
Another reason Li Ke came back with Chen Jiaojiao this time was that he wanted to see Benben again.
Benben has no shortage of food at the Chen family's house, but no one walks him. Aunt Chen feeds him leftovers without any particular care; she feeds him more if there are a lot left, less if there are a little, and nothing at all if there are none left. She also often forgets to give him water.
Fortunately, Benben is easy to raise, not picky about food, and very good at reading people's expressions. He has always behaved very well, which is why he has been able to stay in the Chen family for so long.
Only when Li Ke returns will he properly feed it water and food, and take it out for a walk every day.
Aunt Chen really liked it when Li Ke walked Benben, because that way Benben wouldn't relieve himself near the doghouse, and she would have to clean up less often. Of course, after Li Ke came back, Aunt Chen simply dumped the chores around the doghouse onto her.
Benben is very clever. It knows that Li Ke treats it the best, so it knows how to act cute towards Li Ke. This makes Li Ke, no matter how tired he is when he comes home late, still take it outside for a walk and let it get some fresh air.
Li Ke worked in the supermarket warehouse for two weeks straight and finally got a day off. That night, after returning home, thinking about resting the next day, Li Ke played with Benben for more than an hour before going back to her room to rest.
The next day, Li Ke woke up late. She was very tired and didn't want to get out of bed, but she was also very hungry. So she got dressed and went downstairs to find something to eat.
She wore a loose, dark-colored short-sleeved T-shirt on top and striped summer trousers on the bottom. Ever since she developed, she had been very careful about what she wore in the Chen family.
Even so, Li Ke, whose face still bore many faint red marks, was still targeted by Chen Xian, who had just gotten up.
Li Ke had just finished making some breakfast in the kitchen and was walking out of the kitchen when he ran into Chen Xian, who was coming downstairs.
Chen Xian still looked Li Ke up and down with that undisguised, naked gaze. Li Ke knew that Chen Xian was this kind of disgusting person. She originally thought that since she left early and returned late and didn't stay here often, she wouldn't run into him all summer.
Suppressing her nausea, Li Ke tried to walk past Chen Xian back to her room upstairs. She had already stepped onto the stairs with one foot, thinking that since Chen Xian was home, she wouldn't go downstairs today unless she had to, so as not to be disgusted by him again.
But Chen Xian suddenly hugged Li Ke tightly from behind, his disgusting breath hitting her face: "Although your face is still red, it's still a pretty good side dish. Today, your brother will be the first to taste it!"
"Let me go! You beast, don't touch me!" Li Ke tried to grab Chen Xian's arm, but he quickly restrained her. The man was really strong. Li Ke cried out for her mother and Jiao Jiao, and kept screaming, hoping that someone would come out and save her!
Chen Xian didn't take her upstairs to his own room. Instead, he dragged Li Ke directly to Old Mrs. Chen's room on the first floor, as it was the closest resting room.
Li Ke saw a figure flash past the gate, and she cried out, "Grandma Chen, save me—!"
But it was as if she were hallucinating; no one responded to her!
