On the way back, Jiang Hexi kept muttering to herself:
"When we get to the villa, just let me out of the car. Don't get out of the car, and don't help me with my luggage or mooncakes. Otherwise, if my family sees me, I won't be able to explain myself."
Yan Jie parked the car in front of the small gate of a villa on the outskirts of Beijing.
He turned off the headlights, glanced around, and said:
"There's no one around. Shall I help you take your things downstairs?"
"Forget it, it's better to be careful. I'm not short of strength."
Jiang Hexi unbuckled her seatbelt and placed her hand on the door handle, preparing to get out. With a "click," Yan Jie also unbuckled his seatbelt.
She looked up at him, and he grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her forcefully.
At first she was stunned, then she became so nervous that she punched him twice. Then, she was so excited by the thrill that she stopped caring about anything else.
The quiet alleyway was occasionally punctuated by the sound of cars passing by, before falling silent again.
Someone's cat stood on the wall and meowed twice, attracting another big tabby cat. The two of them then began to walk on the wall.
A gust of wind blew the yellow leaves off the bare tree, which fluttered and landed on the windshield.
Yan Jie pecked her lips repeatedly, saying:
"I'll take care of things at the company as quickly as possible these next two days, and try to come see you the day after tomorrow. Give me all the time you have after that."
Jiang Hexi stared at him blankly and said, "All of them?"
He gave her a loud smack on the corner of her mouth, his deep gaze holding an endless, dim fire.
Give it all to me.
She deeply sensed his desire and, not daring to provoke him, said, "Mmm."
As for what to do after this, she'll have to figure it out slowly when she gets home.
Jiang Hexi stood by the door with mooncakes and luggage, watching him drive away before opening the door and entering the courtyard.
As she walked out of the lawn, she unexpectedly saw Zhou Songyi standing on the cobblestone path, arms crossed, waiting for her to approach.
"Where have you been gallivanting off to?"
Zhou Songyi looked at her with disgust and said, "You smell like a vixen."
Say it again.
Jiang Hexi walked up to her with three boxes of mooncakes in one hand, ready to beat her to death with the mooncake boxes at any moment.
Zhou Songyi looked at the mooncakes in her hand with apprehension, snorted coldly, and dared not say another word.
Jiang Hexi asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Songyi: "Looking for the cat."
Jiang Hexi had vaguely heard a few meows in the car earlier.
She pushed her luggage forward without suspecting anything, but when Zhou Songyi gave a strange, cold smile, she realized what was going on and her alarm bells went off!
Jiang Hexi turned around abruptly and saw Zhou Songyi looking down at her phone.
Pretending not to have noticed anything, she continued pushing her suitcase across the cobblestone path, then placed the suitcase at the end, picked up three boxes of mooncakes, and quietly turned back onto the lawn.
Looking at the "undeniable evidence" she had captured, Zhou Songyi selected the clearest video and was about to send it out when her phone was suddenly snatched away from behind her!
She turned around quickly and saw Jiang Hexi holding her phone, watching the video again.
"Jiang Hexi, give me back my phone!"
"You took such an ugly picture of me that I almost didn't recognize myself, and you still have the nerve to yell at me?"
Jiang Hexi swung the mooncake box and smashed it down hard on Zhou Songyi, who was rushing over. Zhou Songyi cried out in pain and was stunned to the ground.
She swung another heavy punch, slamming the mooncake box onto her shoulder and back, making her cover her head and yell:
"Jiang Hexi, are you crazy? Are you trying to kill me?!"
"Help! Someone help me! Jiang Hexi is going to beat me to death!"
Jiang Hexi pointed the mooncake box at her forehead and said:
Have you ever seen me kill fish, chop steak, or cut pig's trotters on TV?
She threatened menacingly, "What's your phone password? If you don't tell me, I'll smash your phone to pieces."
Zhou Songyi raised her head and said stubbornly, "Then smash it."
As she tilted her head back, Jiang Hexi pointed her phone at her face, unlocked it, and the phone screen popped up again.
This time, she didn't waste time watching the video. Instead, she quickly found the photo album and completely deleted all the photos and videos of her kissing Yan Jie.
Zhou Songyi got up from the ground in anger, "You tricked me, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
When Jiang Hexi saw her lunge at him to snatch the phone, he swung the mooncake box again and beat her mercilessly until she couldn't stand up. Then, right in front of her, he smashed her phone to pieces.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't care."
"Ah-Xi, what are you doing?!"
Zhou Tonghai rushed over and hugged Zhou Songyi tightly. Seeing the bruises and cuts of varying sizes covering her body, he questioned her fiercely:
"Ayi is your cousin. Even if she did something wrong, you shouldn't have hit her like that!"
Jiang Hexi's gaze towards Zhou Tonghai suddenly became very unfamiliar, and her attempts to explain seemed incredibly weak.
Zhou Songyi nestled in Zhou Tonghai's arms and cried, tears streaming down her face.
“Dad, Jiang Hexi is shameless. He was having sex with Yan Jie in a car when I caught them, and she beat me to a pulp.”
"Zhou Songyi, shut up!"
Professor Zhou, supported by the housekeeper, rushed over and shouted:
"If you utter another word of nonsense, not only will Xi Bao beat you up, but I'll also slap you a few times."
Zhou Songyi cried out, "You're just biased towards Jiang Hexi! From childhood to adulthood, no matter what she did wrong, you always took her side!"
"I've always known that Xi Bao and Yan Jie are dating."
Professor Zhou stepped in to help Jiang Hexi out of the predicament:
"I was the one who sent her to the Yan family to deliver the gift, and I was also the one who had Yan Jie take her home. What do you mean by 'car sex'? You just uttered some nonsense. Don't you care about your sister's reputation?"
Zhou Songyi was caught off guard as the old man knew so much.
Zhou Tonghai forcefully shoved Zhou Songyi away, stood up angrily, and said in a trembling voice:
"How could you say that to Ah-Xi? I don't have a daughter like you who lies all the time!"
Zhou Songyi slowly got up, picked up her phone from the ground, and said a harsh word:
"This family is either her or me, it's either her or me. Since you've chosen Jiang Hexi, fine, I'm leaving! One day, I'll make you all regret it!"
"etc."
Jiang Hexi suddenly called out to her. After all this trouble, she didn't want to stay in the Zhou family any longer. "This family is yours to keep. I don't want it."
Professor Zhou, with tears in his eyes, called out to her, "Xi Bao—"
"Grandpa, I want to go home."
Jiang Hexi had never missed her parents and two brothers as much as she did now. She put down the mooncake box, resolutely picked up her luggage, and said:
"I really want to go home."
