Jiang Mi bit her lip so hard that she refused to make a sound, completely desperate, thinking she was doomed today. When everyone was driven out, she suddenly broke down and cried.
Jiang Jingxiu watched with cold eyes, his gaze piercingly cold. Only when her crying gradually subsided did he let out a scoff, "I thought you were enjoying it!"
Jiang Mi was truly terrified. Jiang Jingxiu's cruelty was even more pronounced than before. She felt utterly defiled, for those people just now were so dirty. She got up, rushed out of the restroom, and turned on the shower to douse herself.
When Jiang Jingxiu entered, he saw her standing under the shower. He rushed over and pinned her against the wall. Jiang Mi could barely breathe. Through the curtain of water, she looked at the man's handsome and resolute face, feeling an infinite sorrow in her heart.
Her liking for him was true, her fear of him was also true, and her desire to escape was even truer... But thinking of her daughter in the hospital waiting for cord blood to save her life, she dared not escape.
Jiang Jingxiu didn't wear protection this time.
Jiang Mi had calculated the date carefully. It was her ovulation period, and the chance of getting pregnant was high. But how could Jiang Jingxiu let her have her way? He forced her to swallow birth control pills.
She didn't dare lie to him today. She dared not doubt his intelligence. As expected, Jiang Jingxiu pried open her mouth and inserted his fingers to check thoroughly. After confirming she had swallowed the pill, he didn't let her leave and just sat there staring at her.
Jiang Mi felt extremely unwell and fell asleep on the sofa. However, her sleep was far from peaceful. She felt as if a wolf was watching her in the darkness, and nightmares constantly plagued her.
Those years in the Jiang family were worse than death for her. Jiang Jingxiu was the only light in her life... But later, after they woke up in the same bed, his disgusted gaze had clung to her like a venomous snake for many years... When his fiancée died, he had almost beaten her to death...
"Uncle, hug."
Upon hearing these three words, Jiang Jingxiu's chest trembled slightly. He got up irritably and left. Since she had taken the pill, it was impossible for her to vomit it out.
...
Jiang Yan called Ye Wan, saying that the Jiang family's debt problems had been resolved and she shouldn't worry anymore. Ye Wan asked how it was resolved. Jiang Yan lied, saying most of it was paid by insurance claims, and the rest was from family savings, and they had sold all their properties to clear the debts.
"If the house is sold, when Auntie recovers and Uncle is released, you can move into the apartment near the school first," Ye Wan said sympathetically, feeling for Jiang Yan. The Jiang family had always been wealthy, and to be bankrupt overnight must be a difficult experience.
Jiang Yan hadn't really considered this issue, but it seemed like the only option now. They couldn't let the family sleep on the streets. Fortunately, she had paid three years in advance when she was still wealthy.
"Ye Wan, I..." Jiang Yan felt embarrassed. That house was supposed to be for the two of them to live in together, and she had also promised Ye Cheng could stay there.
"Don't overthink it. Don't forget, I have money now. I'll rent an apartment in the same complex as you. If you need money, you must tell me," Ye Wan warned her, worried.
Jiang Yan really wanted to cry. Although her family had money, Ye Wan was proud and had never let her spend money on her, at most she would snatch to pay for travel expenses, and they had only eaten together a few times.
After hanging up, Ye Wan continued translating the documents she had in hand. Jun Li Chen walked over and brought her a glass of juice.
"Thank you." Ye Wan looked up briefly before continuing. It was almost noon when her phone rang. She took it out and saw it was Gu Yunting calling.
