Chapter 78: Not Wronged At All!
“Oh, then it’s fine.”
“But, how should I put it? In our country, this kind of thing rarely warrants execution.”
“The person on the other end of your phone probably can’t fulfill that request.”
Upon hearing “the Beautiful Country” (USA), Chen Jiamu instantly understood. After all, that place was excessively free…
A precious princess of the An family like An Yiyi probably had bodyguards by her side at all times while studying abroad.
“Ah, is there no way to shoot them?”
Hearing that execution was impossible, she was somewhat disappointed. But she still picked up the phone and said to the person on the other end, “Since they can’t be shot, then arrange the heaviest punishment.”
“After all, my sister bled.”
The person answering the call on the other end felt like they were on a rollercoaster, the ups and downs causing quite a bit of cold sweat to seep from their forehead.
Hearing that she was no longer fixated on execution, they immediately agreed. After hanging up, they hurriedly contacted subordinates to hold an overnight meeting.
The three of them left the hospital after the wounds were treated. At the parking intersection, Chen Cheng didn’t want to return to the Chen residence. She wanted to ask An Yiyi to drop her off at Wuyuan Bay first, then take Chen Jiamu back to the Chen residence.
“Sis, how can you be alone?”
“Especially when your hand is injured?”
Chen Jiamu was the first to object to Chen Cheng’s request. It would be fine if she lived alone without injury. But now that she was wounded, how could she live alone?
“Why can’t I?”
“It’s just an injury, not a broken limb. Is it that exaggerated?”
Chen Cheng really didn’t want to go back and see Su Yi, fearing she wouldn’t be able to stop herself from arguing with her. It was better to be out of sight, out of mind.
“Go back and let Mom take care of you.”
“Mom…”
Hearing Su Yi’s name, Chen Cheng felt inexplicably irritable. Before Chen Jiamu could finish, she interrupted him: “Enough, I said I’m not going back, so I’m not going back!”
“Go back for what? To argue with her?”
“I can handle my own affairs; I don’t need her getting involved.”
Unexpectedly, the two started arguing over this. An Yiyi looked worriedly at the rearview mirror, not understanding why they were suddenly fighting.
“No, Mom explained the blind date thing to me.”
“She has her difficulties.”
Chen Jiamu knew Chen Cheng still resented Su Yi because of the blind date. Originally, he was mindful of An Yiyi’s presence, thinking it wouldn’t be good to discuss this.
But if he didn’t say it now, he’d have to say it over the phone once he got home. What if Chen Cheng didn’t want to read his messages?
He glanced at An Yiyi, hesitating in his heart. An Yiyi keenly noticed Chen Jiamu’s gaze and immediately understood. She took her phone out of her bag and connected it to Bluetooth to play music.
“I’ll listen to music; you guys talk.”
The car had been quiet, but now An Yiyi’s music was loud. Chen Jiamu then told Chen Cheng everything Su Yi had told him, detail by detail.
By the end, Chen Cheng’s expression was indescribably ugly. she dared not imagine that her mother’s torture over these few months was all because of a few words from a Taoist priest.
“Truly… incredible.”
Chen Cheng was speechless. She really hadn’t expected the truth to be like this! She had considered that maybe her mother wanted to force her out of the Chen family, but she never expected such a farce…
“I feel like those ugly men were probably Eldest Aunt’s doing.”
“Just not wanting you to marry well, deliberately finding such disgusting specimens…”
Speaking of the Chen family’s Eldest Aunt, Chen Cheng frowned. She rarely interacted with Eldest Aunt’s family; she hadn’t even seen her daughter many times.
Meetings were only during New Year’s, exchanging superficial greetings.
She never thought her heart could be so black, deliberately finding such people to disgust her…
“If a person’s life can be determined by just a few words, then why should anyone work hard? Might as well all go become fortune tellers.”
“I’ll go to Qingxin Temple another day to see. I want to see who’s behind this…”
After speaking, Chen Cheng rolled her eyes speechlessly. But even now, asking her to go back, she still didn’t want to.
“Even so, I still don’t want to go back.”
“You go back first. I’ll find time to go back later.”
Chen Jiamu opened his mouth to speak again, but was silenced by Chen Cheng’s gaze. Chen Jiamu could only slump helplessly and turn to look out the window. Seeing neither of them was talking anymore, An Yiyi took out her right earbud and started the car.
She turned to look at Chen Cheng, her eyes shining: “So, what’s the plan?”
“Send him back to the Chen residence first, then I’ll still go to Wuyuan Bay.”
After Chen Cheng spoke, An Yiyi stepped on the gas and rushed out. The two in the car exchanged another glance, silently tightening their grip on the seatbelts across their chests.
Right hands gripped the handle above their heads tightly, not daring to relax…
Returning to the Chen residence entrance, Chen Jiamu still had lingering fears. Watching the car speed off like it was flying, he sweated on Chen Cheng’s behalf.
Little did he know, instead of worrying about Chen Cheng right now, he should be worrying about himself tomorrow night…
When the car stopped downstairs at Wuyuan Bay, Chen Cheng’s heart was still pounding wildly.
This driving skill… too impressive. One ride was comparable to a roller coaster…
She was worried to death in the back seat, but An Yiyi acted like nothing happened.
“Sister, which building are you in? I’ll walk you up.”
Chen Cheng checked the time; it was already twelve midnight. Would it be safe for An Yiyi to go back alone?
After thinking for a moment, Chen Cheng softened her heart and asked her to stay the night before going back.
“Building B, 607.”
The two walked slowly upstairs. Arriving at Chen Cheng’s door, after Chen Cheng opened it and went in, An Yiyi stood at the door hesitating for a long time.
Her eyes kept glancing inside…
“Come in.”
“It’s so late, it’s unsafe for you to drive back alone.”
“Stay the night at my place.”
Seeing she hadn’t come in for a while, Chen Cheng turned and called out to her strangely.
Hearing she could sleep inside for the night, An Yiyi’s eyes instantly lit up, the corners of her mouth rising uncontrollably.
Chen Cheng’s apartment was simply furnished. Flowers and plants could be seen everywhere, all well-tended; presumably, she treasured them.
After entering, An Yiyi looked around, extremely excited. Chen Cheng found a set of unworn pajamas for her: “Stop looking, hurry up and wash up for bed.”
“I haven’t worn these pajamas before, you’ll have to make do and suffer a bit.”
Seeing the pajamas in her hand, An Yiyi hurried over and hugged them to her chest, shaking her head like a rattle drum: “Not wronged! Not wronged at all!”
How could she be wronged! She was simply dying of happiness!
Finally, she could sleep and snuggle with Sister!
