Upon hearing Jiang Jinxiu's voice, Song Wan'er's expression changed repeatedly. She didn't know how long Jiang Jinxiu had been there or how much she had overheard.
But the pain in her body left her no time to think; all she wanted to do was escape.
She endured the pain and staggered as she tried to get up and run away.
Yang's mother and Yang Wei also wanted to escape. Their feet moved slowly, and they were just about to run.
Jiang Jinxiu then spoke.
"What, you want to run away when you see me?"
Do you think your feet are faster, or the pebbles in my hand?
Only then did the group notice that Jiang Jinxiu had been playing with a few pebbles in her hand.
Mo Caixia silently watched from the side, holding the bread that Jiang Jinxiu had given her.
She wanted to be with Jiang Jinxiu, but Jiang Jinxiu stopped her every time.
"Jiang, Jiang Zhiqing, what are you doing here?"
Yang's mother spoke, her voice trembling.
Seeing Jiang Jinxiu, she felt as if her wound, which had just healed, was starting to hurt again.
Yang Wei hid directly behind his mother, not daring to look at Jiang Jinxiu.
Jiang Jinxiu disdained to answer their questions.
Instead, he looked at Song Wan'er and said, "Why are you back? Weren't you assigned to a farm in some remote mountain village in Zuo City? If I remember correctly, it's more than a day's journey from here, since there's no direct bus there."
"So that's how it is. No wonder you only see her once a month, you bitch." Yang's mother looked at Song Wan'er with a distorted expression.
Song Wan'er shrank back, suppressing her fear, and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "I... I just wanted to come back and see."
"What are you looking at? Are you checking if Liu Jianjun is still there? Or if I'm dead?"
Jiang Jinxiu scoffed.
"Song Wan'er, I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. You went to such a far place, if you didn't reappear in front of me, I might have forgotten about you. But you just like to come out and cause trouble, so don't blame me."
After Jiang Jinxiu finished speaking, she paused and looked at Yang Wei and Yang's mother beside her, "Take her to the police station! Tell the police officers about her situation truthfully."
Her words were imperative.
Yang's mother and Yang Wei instinctively reached out to grab Song Wan'er's hand.
"Who do you think you are? Why should we listen to you?" Yang Wei's wife blocked Yang's mother and Yang Wei's movements.
Jiang Jinxiu remained silent, only looking at them with a mocking expression.
Seeing Jiang Jinxiu's expression, Yang Wei trembled with fear and slapped his wife to the side, yelling, "You stinking woman, get out of here!"
His wife looked at her husband in shock, touching her slapped face in disbelief.
Yang Wei didn't dare to look at her, for fear of being beaten by Jiang Jinxiu.
He was truly terrified of being beaten up.
Upon hearing that she was to be sent to the police station, Song Wan'er hurriedly tried to escape.
But how could Yang Wei and his mother just let her go like that?
One of them grabbed Song Wan'er's arm and bowed to Jiang Jinxiu, saying, "We'll send it over right away, we'll send it over right away."
No matter how much Song Wan'er struggled, it was all in vain.
He kept cursing under his breath: "Jiang Jinxiu, you'll die a horrible death! Jiang Jinxiu, you'll die a horrible death..."
Jiang Jinxiu, who was following behind, picked at her ear. "I don't want to hear her voice anymore."
Startled, Yang's mother tore a piece of cloth off Song Wan'er and stuffed it into her mouth.
Regardless of how much Song Wan'er was exposed because of this commotion.
Upon hearing Song Wan'er's words, Yang Wei's wife finally realized who the woman in front of her was.
Jiang Jinxiu—she couldn't possibly not have heard of her.
She collapsed to the ground, somewhat relieved that Jiang Jinxiu hadn't held it against her.
Watching from the side, Mo Caixia thought Jiang Jinxiu was incredibly cool.
When she passed Yang Wei's wife, she kicked her before hopping and skipping to catch up with Jiang Jinxiu.
Actually, it wasn't that Jiang Jinxiu didn't care; rather, she knew that given Yang's mother and Yang Wei's tempers, she would definitely get another beating when she got back.
She just couldn't be bothered to do it.
...
Under Jiang Jinxiu's supervision, Yang Wei and his mother arrived at the police station with trepidation, and became even more frightened when they saw Gu Xichen.
Gu Xichen glanced at them, and their legs almost gave way, causing them to collapse to the ground.
Gu Xichen frowned, walked past them, and went straight to Jiang Jinxiu.
"Wife, you're here?"
Wu Wenye spotted Mo Caixia immediately, went up to her, and grinned like a fool.
Only Huang Tao appeared out of nowhere.
Seeing these couples, I couldn't help but click my tongue a few times.
This is torture for single people!
"God, when will I get a wife?"
"Brother Tao, the guy who came to see you last time was pretty good," a colleague teased him.
Huang Tao kicked her directly: "Go away, you all know what kind of person she is. You're trying to push me into a fire pit."
Jiang Jinxiu looked at them with amusement, but Gu Xichen spoke up: "Atao, you really should find someone."
"Yeah, Brother Tao, hurry up and look for him. Otherwise, Brother Chen's kids will be old enough to run errands while yours is still nowhere to be found."
Wu Wen also said with a grin.
"Go away, go away, you should marry a wife first before you talk like that," Huang Tao retorted defiantly.
Mo Caixia looked at Wu Wen expectantly. Wu Wen felt the burning gaze beside him, but he could only pretend not to see it.
He's not capable enough right now, and thinking about the children at home, he doesn't know if she can accept it.
He just wanted to wait for the right opportunity to tell her, and if she couldn't accept it, he didn't know what to do.
