At Luo Xiaolang’s home.
Luo Xiaolang still sits in a corner of the sofa, playing with his phone, not participating in their conversation.
Song Zhizhi ordered takeout.
While waiting for the takeout, Song Zhizhi started a conversation. She said, “Today’s incident, was it Wan Quan and Mu Cidian’s doing?”
‘Who else could it be?” Xin Zaozao sneered.
“It’S truly despicable.”
“I’m used to it. Ever since Mu Cidian approached me deliberately, got close to me and then dumped me, I’ve been accustomed to all their actions towards me. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were responsible for my scandal exposure, or even if they had someone rape me,” Zaozao said bluntly, even though her words were filled with anger, she was surprisingly calm.
Song Zhizhi’s face showed her surprise.
However, Xin Zaozao comforted, “It’s nothing, really. I’m used to it, and I no longer feel that upset anymore. I just feel very sorry for Ji Baili.”
This was true.
After venting out her anger, the only feeling left was guilt towards Ji Baili.
She could withstand all the harm inflicted by Wan Quan and Mu Cidian, but she shouldn’t involve innocent people.
In the beginning, she should not have accepted Ji Baijian’s conditions.
Back then, it would have been better for her to directly negotiate the shares with Ji Baijian.
Song Zhizhi sighed, she said, “Actually, I personally think that you don’t need to treat Ji Baili this way. Baili wouldn’t care about your past.”
“I know,” Xin Zaozao nodded, she Imew that Ji Baili was a good and kind person, but, “I can’t accept my own impurity.”
Song Zhizhi knew that was the reason.
“At first, I didn’t think too much about it. I naively believed that, before meeting the right person, we only need to be responsible for ourselves. My past was just a bitter experience, and I could keep it from Baili. I could use the rest of my life to compensate him. But now I understand, certain things that have happened, are blemishes that will follow me for the rest of my life, and I can never wash them away or make them disappear.”
“You’re too extreme, ” Song Zhizhi tried to comfort her, “Talk to Baili properly. Perhaps he has his own thoughts, instead of simply deciding your fate like this.”
“No,” Xin Zaozao directly refused, “Let’s end it now, when we still can! While we’re not officially together, it’s time to let go, even if Baili hates me. I don’t want to tarnish his life.”
“At the end of the day, you’re still afraid to give yourself a chance.”
“Yes, I’m scared,” Xin Zaozao admitted. When it came to matters of emotion, she no longer wanted to go on.
She had suffered a big setback from Mu Cidian, and she didn’t want to use Baili to recover. That would be unfair to Ji Baili.
What’s more important is.
Xin Zaozao said, “Baili has a great family.”
Song Zhizhi knew, Xin Zaozao had thought thoroughly about this decision in front of Ji’s family. It wasn’t out of impulse, and she definitely wouldn’t regret it.
Her comfort was only because she felt it was a pity.
Deep in her heart, she knew this matter was completely settled.
She heard Xin Zaozao say,”l was born into a bad situation. From my conscious memory, I knew my parents had a bad relationship and they didn’t treat me well. It got even worse when my father remarried. I endured the physical and mental abuse from Wan Quan and Mu Cidian. I always dreamt of having a perfect family, with loving parents and a nurturing family environment. I don’t have that, but I don’t want Baili to lose his because of me.”
Song Zhizhi understood.
What Xin Zaozao feared the most was, due to her, Ji Baili would be abandoned by his family.
What she feared the most was, her unluckiness would bring ill-fortune to Ji Baili.
Therefore, she’d rather bear it all and walk away.
This woman.
This clear-hearted woman.
Always makes one’s heart ache. Song Zhizhi asked, “Did you ever really like Baili?”
It was clear that Baili liked Xin Zaozao.
Anyone heedful could see it.
“I don’t know.” Xin Zaozao shook her head, “I’m not lying to you, I really don’t know, and I haven’t given it much thought. Now, I don’t want to confirm it either.”
Song Zhizhi didn’t probe further.
She knew Xin Zaozao was telling her the truth.
At least it’s still fine right now.
At least, their emotions haven’t truly reached that stage.
Although Zaozao might have a hard time in the future.
It’s hard for a person to walk alone!
But she will eventually succeed.
She said, “You’re welcome to come here anytime. Xiaolang lives alone most of the time. Sometimes, everyone needs a place to be alone. Don’t force yourself to live under that roof.” “Thank you,” Xin Zaozao said sincerely, “I thought you would side with Baili.” Song Zhizhi laughed, “You’re my friend. As for Ji Baili… doesn’t he have Ji Baijian?”
There was a turmoil within Xin Zaozao’s heart, she was really moved.
No matter how strong she appeared, she really wanted someone by her side at that time.
From a young age, she had no friends.
If not for Song Zhizhi, she would have been alone, silently enduring everything alone!
This friendship.
She would forever treasure it within her heart.
Soon after.
The takeout arrived, and Song Zhizhi and Luo Xiaolang accompanied Xin Zaozao for a meal, and Xin Zaozao slept at Luo Xiaolang’s place.
Maybe she didn’t want to face Wan Quan and Mu Cidian without breaking down completely.
It was only after seeing Xin Zaozao fall asleep that Song Zhizhi left Luo Xiaolang’s house. As she was leaving, she said to Luo Xiaolang, “Keep an eye on her a bit. Although she might not do anything extreme, I’m still worried she won’t be able to handle the mental pressure.”
She wouldn’t be able to handle such a big blow.
“Mhm,” Luo Xiaolang nodded.
Song Zhizhi left without any plans to return to the Ji Family.
She didn’t need to think too hard to know that there was likely no peace there today either.
She went upstairs and returned home.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Ji Baili sitting on the large sofa in the living room, watching TV and looking quite content.
Song Zhizhi went over and lovingly leaned into Ji Baijian’s arms.
Ji Baijian embraced her willingly.
The happiness between them was indeed so intense that ordinary people could hardly touch it.
She lay in his arms and asked, “How is Ji Baili doing?”
“How could it be?” Ji Baijian replied calmly, “Heartbroken and desolate.”
“Talk seriously.” Song Zhizhi was angry.
Ji Baijian laughed lightly, “Ji Baili is genuinely upset, but time is the best medicine, things will get better once this is over.”
“Ji Baijian, why are you so cold-hearted?” Song Zhizhi broke free from Ji Baijian’s embrace.
Ji Baijian frowned slightly.
It seemed that he didn’t like Song Zhizhi breaking away from him. Song Zhizhi asked seriously, “Will time be your best medicine if we two are apart, huh?”
Ji Baijian really didn’t know how a woman’s brain was wired.
How did their talking about Ji Baili concern them?
He pulled her back into his arms and said, “Would I let you go?”
“What would you do if you were in Ji Baili’s situation? My presence has also tarnished the reputation of your Ji family, would you choose to let go too?”
“No.” Ji Baijian was sure.
Song Zhizhi laughed.
She knew Ji Baijian was madly in love with her. “Anyway, the Ji family isn’t my family, what they do has nothing to do with me…”
“Ji Baijian!” Song Zhizhi was so angry she stomped.
Ji Baijian laughed.
He was clearly doing this on purpose.
Ji Baijian said, “Madam, there’s no one in this world more important than you. Come here, let your husband spoil you.” Spoil?
He must want to die, again.
“However,” said Song Zhizhi, looking at Ji Baijian seriously, “After chasing Zaozao away, do your family members have any complaints against me?”
“No,” said Ji Baijian, “As your husband, I will support you, you can do whatever you want. Moreover…” “What?” Song Zhizhi raised an eyebrow.
“If Ji Baili is out of the picture, it would be really good if you could still have a relationship with Xin
Zaozao…”
“Damn old Ji, you’re a ruthless businessman, even when your own brother is about to grieve himself to death, you’re still plotting!”
“This isn’t scheming! It’s a cost-benefit analysis. I traded a high cost for a potentially win-win cooperation scheme. Now that it’s suddenly gone, I need to weigh my losses!” Ji Baijian reasoned seriously.
“Yes, you’ve lost a big scheme, calculated with your brother’s lifetime happiness, your loss is huge!”
Song Zhizhi lashed out, “I’m afraid that you’ll be struck by lightning one day when I’m by your side!” Ji Baijian was speechless, a scowl on his face.
“You’re at a loss for words, aren’t you?” Song Zhizhi looked triumphant, “You old fart, let’s see if heaven punishes you.”
“I don’t need Heaven’s punishment, mv wife can take care of me!”
“And I’m not an old man.” Song Zhizhi blushed.
Damn it.
Perverted old man!
Mu Cidian followed Wan Quan back to the Xin family’s villa.
Wan Quan was so happy all the way that she seemed ready to jump for joy, completely oblivious to her son’s deathly cold indifference.
She was in a good mood, sitting on the living room sofa, laughing raucously.
“That slut Xin Zaozao thought she could outsmart me, but she’s nowhere near my level. She thinks she can control me, latch onto the massive consortium that is the Ji family, truly become a phoenix! She’s dreaming! Daydreaming!” Wan Quan kept talking, “I’ve been suffocated by Xin Zaozao before, but this is truly satisfying. Now Xin Zaozao is finally done for!”
“Xin Zaozao won’t be done for.” said Mu Cidian. His expression was gloomy, his voice as cold as ice.
Wan Quan glared at her son.
“What’s done, is the love between us as mother and son.” Mu Cidian enunciated each word clearly.
Wan Quan’s face turned pale instantly.
The arrogance she had a moment ago, the look of satisfaction, all changed in an instant, changed completely.
She said fiercely, “What did you say!”
“I said,” Mu Cidian’s cold voice was really loud. “From now on, the love between us as mother and son is over!”
“Slap!” Wan Quan slapped Mu Cidian’s face hard.
Mu Cidian did not dodge, but his face looked dreadful at that moment. His cold look stared straight at his mother.
“For Xin Zaozao! For Xin Zaozao, you want to break with me! I raised you to be so big, I raised you!” Wan Quan was shaking with anger, she said harshly, “You have forgotten your father’s killing, you have forgotten my past endurance, now for that slut, you want to sever your relations with me as mother and son! Mu Cidian, you dare to do this!”
“I dare!” Mu Cidian looked at Wan Quan, he was even more furious, “Originally, I was going to leave Jin City today! I’ve even bought the flight ticket to leave Jin City. I wasn’t planning to interfere with you and Xin Zaozao anymore, I could walk far away, how you ended up would be your business, I would leave, completely! When one day you are brought down by Xin Zaozao, I would come and take you, bring you to live in another city, let you forget all the hatred now, we as mother and son could live a good life, I wouldn’t marry in this life and could always accompany you! But now I regret it!”
Wan Quan glared at Mu Cidian.
Watching as Mu Cidian took out the flight ticket from his pocket, and then tore it apart.
Mu Cidian said angrily, “Now I’m not leaving! I’ve decided to help Xin Zaozao, get back all she has lost, regain the ownership of the Xin family, and kick you out of the Xin family’s door!”
