Not a single star was in the sky, the moon was hidden behind dark clouds, and the sky was nothing but black.
Within the residential area, along the walkways, due to years of disrepair, everything is broken or flickering; not a single part is functioning properly.
The door opened, and light shone through Ji Xiaoxiao's body, casting a few rays onto Nan Zhu's face. At this moment, Nan Zhu stopped his playful antics and stared intently at Ji Xiaoxiao, his mature, steady, tall, and handsome appearance making him look incredibly dashing.
"You want me to apologize to your wife?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked in shock.
"Yes, Bamboo asks for your help, elder sister."
Nan Zhu smiled slightly, seemingly confident that Ji Xiaoxiao would agree.
Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at Nan Zhu from head to toe, her expression contemptuous and her smile full of sarcasm.
"I won't agree. If there's nothing else, I'm going to sleep."
"You won't agree?" Nan Zhu's face darkened slightly, her voice sharp and loud. "Zhu Zhu and I treat you like our own sister. You won't even help me with this little favor?"
Hearing the implication of those words, Ji Xiaoxiao felt extremely uncomfortable.
If you don't help, then you're being petty and ungrateful?
"Treat me like a real sister? Nan Zhu, don't you feel ashamed to lie? If you really treated me like a real sister, would you speak so recklessly and put me in a bad position? Would Lü Zhu assume I was a mistress without even asking me?" Ji Xiaoxiao retorted sharply and decisively.
Before Nan Zhu could speak, Ji Xiaoxiao continued, "Nan Zhu, do you think I'm a fool? Your wife had a huge fight with me this morning, and I was called a shameless mistress for no reason. Not only did no one apologize to me, but you expect me to come and apologize in person? What kind of logic is that?"
Ji Xiaoxiao pointed at herself, "Do I look that cheap?"
Ji Xiaoxiao ruthlessly punctured the calm surface of the lake, revealing the surging undercurrents and filth beneath, exposing them openly to the light of day.
"Big sister, please don't say that." Nan Zhu hesitated, her eyes secretly glancing around.
Ji Xiaoxiao didn't miss a single expression or action from Nan Zhu. He hesitated and panicked, not because of guilt, but because of his pride. He was afraid of being seen as speechless and embarrassed when faced with her questioning.
"You should leave now. I didn't do anything wrong. I will absolutely not apologize to Lü Zhu." Ji Xiaoxiao looked dejected, her eyes downcast, pure black, without a trace of color.
Out of consideration for his reputation, Nan Zhu said goodnight to Ji Xiaoxiao and slowly walked back.
Ji Xiaoxiao sneered, closed the door, and listened intently.
"Bamboo, how about it? Does that bitch Qiu Feng'er know she was wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoxiao could picture Lü Zhu's smug and ugly face.
The hourglass stopped flowing, and the next room fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Nan Zhu said, "Qiu Feng'er told me to get lost. She wants you to apologize to her."
"What?" Lu Zhu exclaimed in shock, "A thirty-five-year-old spinster who still can't get married, how dare she say such a thing? I'll apologize to her in my next life!"
"Bamboo, Qiu Feng'er is being unreasonable, you have to stand up for me."
"Okay," Nan Zhu readily agreed.
He tried to persuade her with kind words, but Ji Xiaoxiao was petty and stubborn, refusing to listen to good advice, causing him to lose face in front of his neighbors and Lü Zhu. How could he swallow this insult?
If you repay evil with kindness, how will you repay kindness?
Nan Zhu made up her mind to teach Ji Xiaoxiao a lesson.
"My husband will definitely not let Qiu Feng'er off the hook."
"Honey, you're amazing."
"Now you know how good your husband is, but do you know how amazing he is?"
Then came another dramatic turn of events.
Ji Xiaoxiao had no interest in listening to this nonsense, so she pulled the covers over herself, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
The next day, Ji Xiaoxiao was blocked from opening the door. She pushed it open forcefully, and a stench hit her nose, almost making her faint.
Shake your head, give it a little more force, and the door opens.
Looking down, I saw several bags of foul-smelling garbage piled up at the entrance.
Rotten leaves, bones, and fruit peels littered the ground, while flies buzzed around the brownish-yellow sewage.
Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at Nan Zhu Lü Zhu's house next door, silently collected the trash, and threw it into the garbage bin downstairs. After going downstairs, Ji Xiaoxiao took a short trip.
In the blink of an eye, darkness descended and night fell.
"Bamboo, you didn't see Qiu Feng'er's pitiful expression when she was cleaning up the trash, like she was about to cry. Hahaha... it was hilarious!" Lu Zhu laughed so hard she was shaking.
"Okay, let's finish early and go to bed early today. My husband has a big surprise to pull out tomorrow."
Ji Xiaoxiao sat on her sofa, her face clouded with worry. The thought of the trash from that morning sent a wave of nausea through her.
If you come without being polite, you will not reciprocate. You may have your clever plans, but I have my own ways to overcome them.
At four o'clock in the morning, when everyone was still asleep, Ji Xiaoxiao quietly got out of bed and went to the door of Nan Zhu Lü Zhu's house.
Using clever, hidden force, Ji Xiaoxiao broke the lock on Nan Zhu's door. She tried tugging at it; it seemed she had to break down the door to get in and out freely.
The next day, Lü Zhu's screams echoed in all directions.
"You're a scoundrel who destroyed my door lock."
Neighbors are close, and when one is in trouble, help comes from all sides. Two strong men broke down the door of Nanzhu's house.
The door opened, and Nanzhu hurriedly thanked the neighbor who had helped her. Then, she quickly put on her tie, grabbed her briefcase, put on her leather shoes, and rushed off to work as if her pants were on fire.
Lu Zhu stood aside and watched as Nan Zhu busied herself. When Nan Zhu left, Lu Zhu even told her to buy something for him.
"Bamboo, I want cake for supper. Buy one and bring it back." The tone was commanding.
"good."
