Xia Feiqing was obviously having her pride strongly provoked, her eyebrows throbbing, but, remembering something in the next instant, she laughed again, “So, what’s wrong with you being jealous? Mrs. Xia, don’t tell me that the reddened look in your eyes just now was a fake!”
Heart, tightening, astringent.
Instead, she snorted and looked at him, “So, is it that obvious that I’m jealous? The man I love is going to be with my sister, attending tonight’s family gathering as a member of the family, does Mr. Xia think I can laugh?”
“Are you because of Joey Xu?!” Xia Feiqing’s hand that was strangling her lower jaw was unusually hard, as if he wanted to crush her.
The veins on his forehead, jutting out.
“Mr. Xia is so angry now, could it be that he’s in love with me?” Zhao Lanlan provocatively raised her thin eyebrows high.
“Yes, you guessed correctly.” Unexpectedly, Xia Feiqing answered in this way.
Zhao Lanlan’s heart jumped slightly, but she still looked at him indifferently. Only to see him slowly bent his head, cold thin lips on her earlobe, voice lowered, unusually ambiguous, “I seem to have fallen in love with your sensitive body. Joey Xu still do not know how slutty you are in bed, how easy it is to get wet, right? When I’m done with you and tired of playing with you, you can probably try it with him. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind taking all of you and your sister!”
“Xia Feiqing, you shameless bastard!” Every word of that humiliation was like a sharp needle piercing her heart. She gritted her teeth and cursed, hating the fact that she couldn’t raise her hand to slap him, but her hands were deadlocked by him.
She couldn’t help but think of their first time.
He hadn’t touched her since the first day of their marriage.
And that first night … he took her as another woman and forced himself on her …
Married, it would have been natural for him to do this to her. As far as he was concerned, it was an obligation she had to exercise as a wife. But …
Now it’s surprising to be humiliated like this by him instead.
“The shameless asshole is also your man!” Xia Feiqing heavily bit her hard on her earlobe, “Cheer up for me and watch how your father collapses tonight!”
“What did you say?” Zhao Lanlan looked at him in shock. Was she mishearing?
Xia Feiqing let go of her, stood up straight, elegantly straightened the treasure blue suit on his body, admiring the shock on her face, “The evidence that was held before was not enough to play your father to death. However, now …”
He laughed, his face was full of strategizing, “At the critical moment of the national fight against gangs, your father as a high-ranking official instead of colluding with the triads, I’m afraid that the fall of the horse is inevitable!”
“So … you taught Hope to do all that stuff, and it was all a calculated move on your part? Against my dad?” Zhao Lanlan only felt a chill down her back.
“Why else do you think I’m helping her?”
“So, what about Joey Xu? Why did you harm him?”
“Joey Xu? “Xia Feiqing chewed on these two words, the bottom of his eyes swept over a gloomy light, “He deserves to die just like your father. But … counted him as smart, knowing to take the measure in proportion, so, he was able to escape this time.”
Originally, Xia Feiqing wanted to use a plan to kill two birds with one stone, so that Joey Xu and return to the case. But I did not expect Joey Xu in the end, but did not set, on the contrary, the smart choice and police cooperation, but also made a big achievement.
With this level of resourcefulness, Xia Feiqing couldn’t help but appreciate him a little. If it wasn’t for that incident 8 years ago …
“So … the reason you wanted to marry me in the first place was because of Joey Xu too?” asked Zhao Lanlan in a shaky voice as she got up from the bed.
“That’s right!” Xia Feiqing turned back and fixed her with cold eyes, “They all owe me! It was they who made me lose the most important ones, so I naturally have to take away their most important ones as well!”
“What the hell do you want?” Zhao Lanlan grabbed Xia Feiqing, “You can’t hurt my dad! Xia Feiqing, I forbid you to hurt my dad!”
Xia Feiqing backhanded her hand and clasped it, his other hand strangling her whole body tightly, “Mrs. Xia, do you think you have any right to express your opinion here with me?”
“I want a divorce! I want a divorce right now!” Her tears, all at once, rolled out. Look at what kind of man she had married. The devil! The devil who had been counting on their family from the beginning to the end! Dad’s decision to let her get married was clearly leading the wolf into the house!
“Once this matter is over, you won’t have any use for it! At that time, even if you want to stay away, it’s not up to you!” Xia Feiqing opened his mouth cruelly, but his arms were subconsciously wrapping the shivering her tighter.
The sweet scent of her body made him feel inexplicably distracted.
Although he was not able to clean up Joey Xu, but after tonight Zhao Jiangyan will completely fall down, how he should be happy!
Moreover, divorcing Zhao Lanlan, he immediately returned to being single. What kind of woman do you want that you don’t have?
He should be happy!
The other side.
Ji Qingyue glanced at the closed bedroom door and rubbed her chest again.
“This green dress looks like an onion on me, or not! Mom, what do you think of this orange color?” Zhao Yuanyuan was still agonizing over the dress.
A woman is a woman, that’s all.
Joey Xu is coming over today and she’s going to catch his eye in a second.
“Come on, get out of Mom’s face. You’re in your prime at this age, you look good in anything.” Ji Qing Yue returned somewhat perfunctorily, sitting on the sofa.
“Mom, that’s true what you said. I look better than Sammy Jones no matter how I wear it anyway.” Zhao Yuanyuan carried the orange skirt again and compared it. She glanced at Ji Qing Yue from the mirror and pulled up her eyebrows, “Mom, what’s wrong with you? Why does your face look so bad?”
Ji Qing Yue rubbed her chest, “It’s just that I feel like my chest is clogged up. I don’t know how, but my eyelids have been jumping all day today.”
“You, you just like to think too much. What’s the point of jumping when you’re in a good mood! If your chest feels blocked, go to the hospital.” Zhao Yuanyuan completely ignored her words.
Ji Qingyue thought for a moment and said, “Yuan Yuan, you said … that now the wind of fighting the black is so strong, moreover, your father has just been promoted again, there are so many people staring at him, and now Joey Xu and that surnamed Xiong are so fished out, will it be okay?”
“Mom, what are you thinking about! You’re still not worried about what my dad is doing? He’s very careful and won’t be caught. Don’t worry!”
“Also. Your father has always been godless.” Hearing her daughter’s relief, Ji Qingyue’s heart settled down a little, looked at the time, and said, “You hurry up and put on your makeup and go, the meal is about to start. Make a call to Joey Xu and see how long it will take for him to arrive!”
“Okay, copy that!” Zhao Yuanyuan pleasantly hugged her skirt and headed for her bedroom, taking out her cell phone to make a call as she did so.
Zhao Yuanyuan dialed Joey Xu, changed her clothes, and then came down to see the servants in the dining room already setting up plates.
Hu Jiangyan also came back from the outside, put down his briefcase and went to change clothes.
“Mom, Joey Xu said it’s already on its way. Moreover, he said he will definitely give me a surprise tonight.” Zhao Yuanyuan was still immersed in joy, and the words she said were mixed with various sweet flavors.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Xia Feiqing come out with Zhao Lanlan in his arms. Zhao Yuanyuan immediately threw him a big smile, ”Brother-in-law, Joey Xu should be here in a while, he said he’ll give me a big surprise! You’re looking forward to it too, right? I should really thank you for this time.”
Xia Feiqing smiled meaningfully, “Then we’ll all wait to see this surprise he’s prepared for you.”
Zhao Lanlan couldn’t stop trembling at the side. Xia Feiqing had played all of their Zhao family like fools. Until this moment, Yuan Yuan was even thanking him! Unbeknownst to her, their family had been pushed into the grave just because of her.
“Sis, what’s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?” It was only then that Zhao Yuanyuan realized that Zhao Lanlan was out of sorts.
“Hope, I …”
Zhao Lanlan was just about to say something when Xia Feiqing had already swept her away and lightly took her words, “Your sister is fine, she just slept too late last night so she’s a bit mentally weak.”
Zhao Yuanyuan lost her smile and threw Xia Feiqing a bad look, teasing, “Brother-in-law, my sister’s health has never been very good, you can’t bully her too much oh!”
She intentionally highlighted the word ‘bully’.
Xia Feiqing laughed, ambiguously casting his eyes toward the pale Zhao Lanlan, his eyes so deep, as if hiding a complex and deep sentiment.
Bending his head, he pressed his lips against hers and kissed her again, his voice was so gentle that it could almost make water come out of his mouth, “What can I do? I’ve fallen into your sister’s shoes, who else can I bully if not her?”
Zhao Lanlan’s eyes reddened, and her chest hurt as if a sharp sword had been inserted into it, cracking open inch by inch.
What kind of dangerous and honorable man is this? To this day, he was able to tell these lies as if they were true. If she hadn’t already realized all of his intentions, she thought that she would have fallen head over heels in love with him and couldn’t help herself.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, tanned sweetness. Sis, brother-in-law is really loving you more and more! So envious.”
Zhao Lanlan, however, was filled with bitterness, and when she turned her eyes, she only saw that he was still wearing a light smile, making it impossible to see the slightest break. She suddenly felt that it was such a sensible thing for her to conceal her pregnancy. If he knew that he had his child, I’m afraid that he would only try to get her to take it out.
She can’t do it!
No matter how much she hated and resented it, the baby was still hers!
When everyone was gathered in the hall, just waiting for Joey Xu alone, they heard the maid say, “Sir, Madam, Mr. Xu is here!”
“Already?” Zhao Yuanyuan immediately put down the magazine in her hand, stood up, and headed out.
Over here, Ji Qingyue, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Jiangyan, as well as Xia Feiqing as the host all followed suit and stood up. Only Zhao Lanlan didn’t move, still pale and with blank eyes.
Zhao Yuanyuan walked to the door and called away the maid, “I’ll open the door!”
She opened the gate directly, and was happy, but …
When she saw the figure in the doorway, her face sank, and the smile on her face froze, replaced by exasperation. That rapid change of mood made her entire person somewhat indescribably comical.
Behind …
Both Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Jiangyan’s faces changed again and again as well.
“Wasn’t I invited to dinner? Now it looks as if none of you are very welcoming to me.” Joey Xu’s eyes swept over the three of their faces, watching the startled looks that he just found wonderful.
The large palm that hung down at his side took the woman beside him in a high-profile, ten-fingered hold.
“Joey Xu, you can’t keep your words!” Returning to her senses, Zhao Yuanyuan immediately snapped.
Zhao Jiangyan also took a step over, pointing at Sammy Jones on the side, and said angrily, “What do you mean by this? Playing tricks on us?”
Joey Xu led Sammy Jones inside and met his questioning gaze with candor, “Where did that come from?”
“Don’t forget, I’m the one who fished you out! Without the connections I made for you, do you think you’d still be standing here talking to all of us now? When you first promised to fish you out, what did you promise Yuan Yuan!” As soon as Zhao Jiangyan saw him appear holding Sammy Jones, his anger went straight upwards.
