Jiang Wen was personally picked up by the Jiang family in their car.
All the way there, she was filled with anxiety, wondering what her parents would think if they found out what she had done that night.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Jiang's parents sitting upright on the sofa, looking like they were waiting for her to interrogate them.
Jiang's father was nearly forty years old, with regular features and an air of righteousness. At this moment, his stern face was so serious that it was somewhat frightening.
"Xiaowen, you're back?"
Jiang's mother had a completely different temperament, with the gentle and charming demeanor of a woman from Jiangnan. Her voice was also soft and gentle, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Jiang Wen became even more afraid.
She had no relatives before, and now that she finally has parents, she is afraid that her behavior today will make them regret adopting her as their daughter.
"Father, Mother, I'm sorry."
Jiang's mother looked at her and sighed helplessly; "Xiaowen, how could you do such a thing? What kind of place is Meise? How could you girls..."
Jiang's mother came from a scholarly family and was always well-educated, reasonable, and valued propriety and integrity. Jiang Wen's behavior was indeed incomprehensible and disappointing to her.
Seeing the emotions in his mother's eyes, Jiang Wen's eyes immediately welled up with tears; "Mother, I...I didn't..."
“Jiang Wen, I don’t care what kind of life you lived before. Now that you’re a child of the Jiang family, you can’t do anything that damages the Jiang family’s reputation. Do you understand?”
Jiang Wen lowered his head, biting his lip, his red eyes making him look pitiful. "I understand, Father. I'm sorry. I was wrong this time. I won't do anything so outrageous again."
Upon hearing this, Jiang's father's cold expression softened.
"Xiaowen, it's good that you know you were wrong. We also have something to talk to you about."
Jiang's mother looked at Jiang Wen, thought for a moment, and continued, "Now that you're cured, my wives and I have helped you find a few good young men. Starting tomorrow, your task is to choose a suitable person from among them and get to know them."
Jiang Wen felt a chill in her heart. Were her parents going to set her up on a blind date?
She is the only daughter in the Jiang family. Her parents are determined to find someone to marry into the family, someone who is excellent in every way. The Jiang family has a huge business, but she knows nothing about business. So in the end, they can only rely on her to find a suitable man to marry into the Jiang family.
She used to love freedom, but from the moment she became Jiang Wen, everything she used to love became irrelevant to her.
"I understand, Father and Mother. I will carefully examine them."
Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother's eyes showed a hint of reluctance.
"Xiaowen, it still has to be something you like."
Jiang Wen was momentarily dazed; liking this kind of emotion was too heavy for her right now.
"I understand, Mother."
...
Nan Jiangmu escorted Shen Jia to the apartment building.
"I've already informed my aunt and uncle; they'll be coming to Nancheng. Be prepared."
Shen Jia's pretty face was contorted with grief; "Cousin, how could you be so heartless?"
Nan Jiangmu's handsome features were filled with coldness.
“Shen Jia, I could tolerate your misbehavior in the past and help you get out of trouble, but you’ve gone too far this time, actually bringing Yao Yao along to cause trouble.”
Shen Jia had never been looked at like that by him before, let alone been criticized so harshly. Her eyes involuntarily reddened.
"Cousin, I..."
Nan Jiangmu's chest heaved slightly as he exhaled and looked at her coldly.
“Shen Jia, don’t forget, you are a mother. Look at yourself, is this how you set an example for Xia Xia? He’s been in the Gu family for so many days, have you thought about him? Have you thought about how to handle your relationship with the Gu family? Shen Jia, since you became a mother, you have been an adult. You should know what you should and shouldn’t do.”
Shen Jia's eyes reddened; every word Nan Jiangmu uttered pierced her heart.
"Cousin, I won't give Xiaxia to the Gu family."
She wiped away the tears on her face and went upstairs in her high heels.
Looking at her retreating figure, a hint of helplessness flashed in Nan Jiangmu's eyes.
Shen Jia was still spoiled too much by her family. Even though she had a child, she never really grew up.
Because she has the Shen family and the Nan family as her backers, she is the princess that the Shen family cherishes. From childhood to adulthood, there is nothing she cannot obtain, only things she disdains.
Nan Jiangmu sighed inwardly. When he drove back, he saw Gu Tingmo's car. It seemed that Gu Tingmo was going to find Shen Jia. He sent him a message.
"Shen's parents will be coming tomorrow."
Gu Tingmo saw the message just as his car arrived at Shen Jialou's place.
The anger in his mind was extinguished as if by a bucket of ice water. He ripped off the tie around his neck, his usual nonchalant demeanor completely gone, replaced by a gloomy and cold expression.
Shen Jia...
Since he couldn't win the woman over with sincerity, he had no choice but to take her by force.
Gu Tingmo forcibly suppressed his urge to go upstairs and kill Shen Jia.
He needs to think carefully about how to get Shen Jia's parents to force her to be with him tomorrow, and ideally, get them to register their marriage directly.
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze full of calculation.
If Shen Jia knew that her actions tonight would make it impossible for her to ever get rid of Gu Tingmo again, she would never do something so reckless, even if it meant being beaten to death.
...
The night at the old house was anything but peaceful. For as long as Yu Chiyan went crazy last night, everyone in the villa suffered from insomnia for just as long.
The old lady, in particular, barely slept all night. The master bedroom was upstairs from her, and she heard Su Yaoyao's last sobs, which were barely audible.
"How is it? Have they gotten up yet?"
Aunt Zhang noticed that the old lady's eyes were bloodshot from staying up all night and felt a little worried.
"Not yet, Madam. Please rest for a while. She probably won't wake up anytime soon. I heard you mention Su Qingqing yesterday, probably because of that matter."
The old lady looked worried.
She had never seen Yu Chiyan so insane, even chasing her away. If anyone else had knocked on the door last night, he probably would have eaten them alive.
"Never mind, hurry up and tell the kitchen to prepare something to eat, and send it to Yaoyao after Yu Chiyan leaves."
Aunt Zhang helped her into the house; "Don't worry, Madam, I had it prepared early this morning, so please don't worry and go and rest for a while."
Meanwhile, Su Yaoyao, who was being worried about by the old lady, had already woken up. To be precise, she hadn't woken up; she hadn't slept all night.
My throat hurt so much I couldn't speak, and my lips were so swollen I couldn't show them to anyone.
Her body was covered in marks left by men, including several teeth marks.
Yu Chiyan treated her like a mad dog, showing her no pity whatsoever, as if she were a lifeless venting machine.
She couldn't take it anymore and fainted, so he threw her into the bathroom and woke her up with cold water.
“Su Yaoyao, from today onwards, if you dare to step out of the old house, I guarantee that your fate will be even worse than last night.”
This was the first thing Yu Chiyan said to her after he finished dressing.
