“Zoey Baker, you come in.” Xiao mother’s harsh voice came over, and Zoey had no choice but to go in. On the low table in front of the sofa, Zoey’s clothes and some daily necessities were scattered messily.
Seeing her, Sunny Qin raised a smile, “Long time no see.”
The tone was gentle, but there was a provocative, triumphant stance on his face that only Zoey could see.
Zoey, on the other hand, just pretends that she didn’t hear her words, or simply treats Sunny Qin as a stranger, and Sunny Qin’s stomach churns at her rude attitude, but she can’t do anything about it due to Xiao mother’s presence, so she can only suppress the anger for the time being.
Zoey set aside the object in her hand and politely called out, “Mrs. Zhan.”
“All this stuff is yours?” Xiao mother’s eyes, a cold glance over the low glass table.
It was extremely rude behavior, but Zoey had no one to blame because … it wasn’t even her home.
Xiao mother didn’t say anything, but Sunny Qin opened her mouth first: “Zoey, are you living with Jerry? You and your brother living together made such a big mess, why don’t you know how to restrain yourself and check your private life?”
Sunny Qin made her words try not to sound too sharp, but they did sting Zoey again with words like pins and needles . She dropped her eyes to Sunny Qin, “My brother and I have never lived together. As for my private life … Ms. Qin, this is my private matter, please don’t bother.”
“I wouldn’t want to bother, it’s just that the pictures of your kind of incest are all over the papers, and I’ve seen them in England. As your former best friend, how could I not show some concern?”
Zoey paled slightly, expecting Sunny Qin to give her a hard time today, but she was also really prepared. What was said, word for word, needles stabbing her where it hurts.
Before Zoey could say anything to deal with her, Xiao mother opened her mouth again, “Originally, it’s not for us outsiders to say anything about your Baker family. But you came to seduce Jerry again!”
Zoey huffed coldly, “Mrs. Show, I …”
“You shut up! I have no intention of listening to anything you say today!” Mrs. Zhan coldly shouted, cutting Zoey’s words off. She leapt up, her contemptuous eyes coldly forcing Zoey , “I don’t care what means you used to hook up with Chuck, and now you’re here to seduce Jerry, but I’m telling you, with this kind of uncontrollable manners of yours, you’ll never be able to come into the door of our THE XIAO FAMILY for the rest of your life! Get all your stuff out of this house! This is the Xiao Family, and no one from your Baker family is welcome here! –Especially you, Zoey Baker!”
Zoey looked at the two faces in front of her that were either contemptuous or gloating, and inevitably felt a chill in her heart. But Mrs. Zhan’s distaste for herself is not incomprehensible to her. The pain of losing a son is not something that everyone can bear.
Without saying anything, Zoey just squatted down as she was told and organized her things into the suitcase on one side without being condescending. Luckily, she hadn’t brought much in the first place, so it only took a minute to organize everything.
She stood up, and according to her words, she did not look at Sunny Qin, but just looked at Mrs. Zhan faintly, “Mrs. Zhan, about Chuck, I know that you are still holding a grudge to this day. After I heard about it, I’ve been wanting to apologize to you personally for that time …”
“And you have the nerve to bring up the past?” Sunny Qin interrupted Zoey’s words, fanning the flames in a sly manner. “If it wasn’t for you being a womanizer and not knowing how to behave, how would Jerry’s brother have gotten into that kind of trouble?”
Xiao mother’s face was blue.
Zoey looks coldly at Sunny Qin and asks coldly, “Sunny, ask yourself what you did that night.”
Sunny Qin huffed and looked at Zoey. Zoey’s eyes were burning with indignation, “If I hadn’t gone to the wrong door, I would have been raped that night by that man you hired!”
If Sunny Qin hadn’t behaved so suspiciously on the wedding day, Owen Baker wouldn’t have checked her out. But the fact that he found out made Zoey’s heart go cold.
Zoey looked at Sunny Qin questioningly, but in the next moment, she only felt a pain on her face, and Mrs. Zhan’s heavy slap came towards her face. She was caught off guard and had no place to hide. The hot and spicy feeling hit her, making her feel dizzy for a moment.
“You did something wrong and you’re still here falsely accusing others, you don’t know how to be ashamed!” Mrs. Zhan coldly rebuked, angrily carried Zoey’s luggage and flung it to the door before glaring at her angrily, “Zoey Baker, I’m warning you, don’t try to cause trouble, Sunny is the wife we chose for Jerry, no matter how you try to stir things up, it’s impossible to change this fact!”
Zoey shuddered lightly. Only to see that Sunny Qin had already taken Xiao mother’s arm in a very aggravated manner, “Auntie, it’s lucky that we all understand what kind of person she is, or else we would really have to be provoked by her.”
Xiao mother patted her hand, ”I’ve been living with you for all these years, is it possible that I don’t know what kind of person you are? I know exactly what kind of person Zoey Baker is! This Chuck and Jerry, I don’t know what kind of tactics she used to confuse them!”
Zoey walked to the door and carried her luggage in her hand. And only then did she turn her face, that clear line of sight looking straight at Xiao mother, “Mrs. Zhan, I hope you can also see what kind of person she is early on. A woman who can even betray her friendship so completely, I guess, Jerry must not be able to accept her.”
“Zoey Baker, have you provoked enough?!” Sunny Qin’s face went a shade of green and white.
Zoey then gave Sunny Qin a heavy look before turning to leave. Sunny Qin couldn’t help but shiver, dropping her eyes somewhat sheepishly and peeking at Mrs. Zhan’s face.
Fortunately, Mrs. Zhan is really disgusted with Zoey Baker to the extreme, so she didn’t care about her words at all, and only felt that after driving Zoey out of the house, she was completely relieved.
“Sunny, it’s fortunate that I listened to you and came to stay with Ah Yu for a few days, otherwise I really didn’t realize that he actually fainted and cohabited with this woman!” Mrs. Zhan still felt exasperated when she thought about this. Her sons one by one, in the end what kind of vision are they? How are they all being played around by a woman like her?
“Auntie, you probably don’t know that she has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. In the past, it was also because I couldn’t stand to see her messy private life that I couldn’t bear to expose her at the wedding. I also don’t want all of you to be fooled by her appearance.” As Sunny Qin spoke, she carefully peeked at Mrs. Zhan’s face.
“Don’t mention what happened before, mentioning it makes me so angry that my liver hurts.” Mrs. Zhan sat on the sofa, rubbing her chest that was heaving up and down, Sunny Qin rushed to rub her back and help her smooth her air. Xiao mother muttered, “I don’t know what kind of sins I did in my previous life, but I have to get entangled with them Baker family people in this life!”
“Auntie, there’s something else that I haven’t mentioned to you yet.” Sunny Qin darkened her eyes to look at Xiao mother with some aggression.
“What is it? Who’s picking on you Jerry?”
Sunny Qin bites her lip and doesn’t say anything.
Xiao mother then pursued, “You said, if it’s really Jerry, auntie will do it for you.”
“I think I won’t stay here with you for the next few days. When you return to England, I will also move out of the villa and rent a small house to live in. If you need me to take care of you, I will just get up early in the morning and go to your place.” Sunny Qin finally spoke slowly.
“What kind of nonsense are you saying?” Xiao mother wrinkled her brow, “Why are you suddenly saying this kind of thing when you’ve been living well at my place? Auntie and Uncle have long treated you as one of their own family, how can they let you live out alone?”
“Auntie, with these words from you, I am really already satisfied. But …” she let out a soft sob, her eyes reddened as she looked at Xiao mother, “But, the last time Jerry was in England, he had already made it very clear that he was kicking me out. I know that he doesn’t like me at all, and besides … I’m not a member of THE Xiao Family, so it’s only right that I move out.”
“He kicked you out?” Xiao mother gasped, “That bastard! You are the recognized daughter-in-law of the Xiao Family, who is he to kick you out!”
“But I’m not … yet, after all,” Sunny Qin said, falling into tears.
“Sunny, don’t cry. Listen to auntie. Auntie is always going to make him marry you back!”
“Really?” Sunny Qin half-questioned.
“Of course it’s true. That boy, he’s hard-tempered at all times, but he’s just dutiful. Sooner or later, he always has to listen to your uncle and me.”
Sunny Qin broke into a smile at this. “I believe Auntie.”
Night was falling as Zoey dragged her suitcase out. In this kind of weather, the sky always gets dark very quickly. Walking alone on the long pebble road of the villa garden, she still felt cold in her heart. Her hand, tentatively touched half of her face, the pain caused her to draw a cold breath, and she quickly put her hand down again.
Mrs. Zhan’s slap was not light, it seems that redness and swelling are inevitable. Zoey carried her luggage, took a taxi, and stopped at a drugstore, where she bought an ice pack. After buying an ice pack, she sat on a chair in the pharmacy and put the ice pack on her face.
Just sitting there, staring blankly at the traffic ahead. The night had come down completely, and the neon of the city, gradually flared up, adding brilliant colors to the city. The seven-colored light, flashed past her eyes, and she let out a light breath.
I wonder if Jerry is home by now. When she gets home, will she find her things gone?
…
Jerry Xiao returned to the villa and saw the bright lights in the hall from afar, his heart floated, thinking it was Zoey waiting for him.
However, when faced with Sunny Qin who warmly welcomed him out, he was stunned for a moment, and then his brows furrowed fiercely.
“Jerry, hurry up and come in. I’ve made dinner and have been waiting for you with Auntie for ages!” Sunny Qin subconsciously went to take his arm.
Instead of avoiding it, he just asked, “When did you guys get here?”
Xiao mother also came out and took a look at her son’s not-so-good face before saying, “Son, what’s that look on your face? Don’t you welcome us?”
“Mom, you know I didn’t mean that.” Jerry Xiao just glanced slightly at the table full of food and looked around again, searching.
“Mom, where is she?”
Sunny Qin’s face darkened slightly, but Xiao mother asked rhetorically, “Which her?”
Having a not so good feeling, Jerry Xiao left Sunny Qin aside and turned around to go upstairs.
“Ah Yu, stop right there!” Xiao mother suddenly called out to her son, Jerry Xiao stopped in his tracks, “Mom, did you guys kick her out?”
“Look at you, what do you look like. As soon as you came back, you were busy looking for her. Do you still have mom and Sunnyin your eyes?” .
Jerry Xiao just glanced at Xiao mother and pulled out his cell phone to dial the familiar number, but Xiao mother reached out and snatched the phone away, glaring at her son.
“Mom, please, guys, stop!” Jerry Xiao brought the cell phone back into his hand.
