Chapter 85: The Song Family Storm
But after dozing for a while, he sensed something wrong. Why was Li Xi silent?
Chen Jiamu turned to check. Behind him was empty; not a soul.
Li Xi wasn’t there?
Being alone in bed, Chen Jiamu couldn’t sleep anymore. Rubbing his eyes, he felt for his phone, unlocked it, and opened the chat with Li Xi.
Just opened, he saw Li Xi had sent him two messages.
[I’m going back to Auntie Song’s; something happened on her end.]
[Go eat by yourself when you wake up. Eat more; it’s all bone, poking me uncomfortably. Your butt has no meat left.]
…
Chen Jiamu felt nothing reading the first message. But seeing the second one, ten thousand grass-mud horses (alpacas) galloped through his heart.
Disliking his butt for having no meat?
Getting f*cked was one thing, but getting disdained too?
Where was the justice in this world!
Thinking was one thing, but Chen Jiamu still reached back to touch his own butt. seemed it really had gotten thinner; he could feel it himself.
How much thinner exactly, he didn’t know, nor did he pay attention.
Sighing, Chen Jiamu couldn’t sleep either. wondering how long Li Xi slept. After doing him all night, did he still have energy to handle matters?
Next second, Chen Jiamu felt something was wrong with himself. He was hungry enough for his chest to stick to his back, yet still had the mind to worry about Li Xi…
Thinking no more, Chen Jiamu scrambled out of bed, put on the clothes Li Xi prepared, washed up, and left the room.
Once the rain stopped, Chen Jiamu walked out of the hotel and found a random restaurant to eat. While eating, he received a message from Chen Cheng.
[Did you know something happened to Auntie Song?]
Hm?
Something happened to Song Jin?
[I’m eating. What happened to Auntie Song?]
[She heard she wanted to get married, but her family didn’t quite agree. Then Li Ru was there too. Heard the two men fought.]
Mr. Murong?
Heard from Li Xi he was Song Jin’s childhood sweetheart. After Song Jin married Li Ru, they lost contact. Of course, Li Xi heard others say this; whether they were actually in contact, they didn’t know.
Later when Song Jin ran abroad, Mr. Murong followed. Over four years, their feelings gradually warmed, and they naturally came together.
Returning this time was also to get married.
Just didn’t expect the obstacles to marriage to be so big.
[Is it that ridiculous? Even a second marriage isn’t allowed?]
[Who knows. Aren’t you and Li Xi quite close? Do you want to go over?]
Chen Jiamu actually wanted to go, but felt it inappropriate to go alone. So he asked Chen Cheng back: [Are you going?]
[I’m not going. But heard Mom is over there.]
They say don’t wash dirty linen in public, but the Song family probably never imagined this matter would reach their ears.
But he was curious how Chen Cheng knew?
Unlikely Su Yi told her; weren’t they still in a temper with each other?
[Who told you all this?]
[Yiyi. Her mom told her.]
[So, you turned around and told me? Wow, Sis, your wall leaks wind.]
After sending the message, Chen Jiamu didn’t receive a reply from Chen Cheng.
Presumably busy with other things.
Chen Jiamu finished lunch quickly, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the Song residence. Chen Jiamu knew clearly where each family lived; taking a taxi was effortless.
When Chen Jiamu arrived at the Song residence entrance, he could hear Song Jin’s breakdown voice even through a wall.
“I’ve been controlled by you for over thirty years! Is it that hard to want my own life!”
“I can’t even bear children anymore! How long are you going to exploit me, control me!”
Song Jin’s voice was filled with collapse, every word weeping blood.
Just about to step over the threshold, Chen Jiamu’s foot stopped in mid-air. Him… going like this, would others think he came to see a joke?
The leg extended silently withdrew. Chen Jiamu glanced around, finding a corner to sit down.
Turning on his phone to message Li Xi. However, the edited words were deleted and deleted again. Finally, he sent a photo of his lunch. Caption: [One bite can eat a whole cow!]
In just a moment, Li Xi replied: [Eat more. Need to be chubby to be cute.]
Just seconds after receiving Li Xi’s message, a harsh cursing sound came from the courtyard: “Four years ago you ran abroad with this wild seed! And mixed with that Murong! Speak! Is he your wild seed with that Murong!”
Chen Jiamu never expected the Song family’s anger to implicate the innocent Li Xi.
Hearing “wild seed” repeatedly from inside, Chen Jiamu felt like he’d fallen into an ice cave.
That prickling pain attacked densely, hurting so much even his breathing became cautious.
Clearly the person being cursed was Li Xi, so why did his heart ache too? What wrong did Li Xi commit? Why did everyone wish to get rid of him quickly?
[It’s almost winter. Let’s go see ice sculptures together then. Heard the northern ones are beautiful.]
Chen Jiamu’s hands trembled with heartache, tremblingly sending Li Xi a message.
[Okay.]
Li Xi replied quickly. Just one word, but Chen Jiamu stared at it for a long time.
The abuse inside was endless. How could Li Xi reply to him so calmly?
And not complain of bitterness to him at all.
The Song house was an imitation antique courtyard. The group wasn’t arguing in the living room, but in the front courtyard. The main gate was half open; separated by a wall, every word of abuse entered Chen Jiamu’s ears without missing a beat.
Humans are truly terrifying sometimes. Dominated by desire, gradually losing the conscience of being parents…
[Li Xi is just born of a whore. You actually divorced me for him. I think you, Song Jin, are the truly laughable one!]
The people inside seemed to no longer care about face. Every word spoken made Chen Jiamu clench his fists.
That voice was all too familiar to Chen Jiamu. Li Ru! That filthy man who committed wrongs and still didn’t repent…
