Facing Zhou Hui's warning, Zhu Jianjun just stared blankly for a while before continuing to smile indifferently, "It's good that you went to the police. If I get caught, I won't have to worry about losing my appetite."

"You have truly wasted your life!" Zhou Hui didn't know what to say to Zhu Jianjun anymore.

"Hurry up and give me the money."

"I have no money."

"If you don't give me the money, I'll beat you to death." After Zhu Jianjun finished speaking, he pounced at Zhou Hui aggressively, and his fists rained down like rain.

Seeing that her mother was being bullied again, Zhu Ruiyan also joined the battle. However, how could two weak women match up to a man? Zhu Ruiyan was injured in the process of pulling and pulling, but Zhou Hui had also been heavily injured because she had been protecting Zhu Ruiyan.

Zhu Ruiyan really had no choice, she suddenly saw the ashtray on the table. Then, she took the ashtray and heavily smashed it at Zhu Jianjun.

Being struck by such a heavy object, the anger in Zhu Jianjun's heart instantly ignited. He glared at Zhu Ruiyan and said, "You little bastard, you actually dared to fight against me."

Zhu Jianjun walked to Zhu Ruiyan's side and started beating him up. Zhu Ruiyan had no way of resisting as her whole body was in pain. Zhou Hui's crying face finally burst out: "Don't hit Yanyan, I will give you all the money." She would tolerate Zhu Jianjun beating and scolding her, but she had no way of restraining herself from bullying Zhu Ruiyan.

"Hmph, now that I know it's too late to regret, you actually dare to hit me, you damned girl who has received a thousand cuts." Zhu Jianjun said and punched a few more times to ease his anger.

"Mom, you can't give him money!" Although Zhu Ruiyan's entire body was in pain, she no longer wanted to appease her stepfather's evil deeds, "Let's hurry up and call the police and let them arrest him."

"You little bastard, your tone is quite arrogant." Zhu Jianjun slapped his ears again.

Zhou Hui forcefully pushed him towards Zhu Jianjun. "If you continue to bully Yanyan, I'll fight it out with you."

"Hmph, give me money." Zhu Jianjun did not continue to beat Zhu Ruiyan, but his face carried a look of despise.

"Mom, can't call him. Call the police." Zhu Ruiyan knew very well that it was simply impossible to have a leader in life like this, and she couldn't let her stepfather continue to be so domineering.

"Yanyan, mother knows what to do." With a helpless expression, Zhou Hui walked into the room and threw out five hundred yuan onto the table. "This is the last money we have at home, it's Xuanxuan's living expenses for the next month. Since you do not care about Yanyan, then you can care about Xuanxuan's life as well. Explain yourself to your daughter. "

Zhu Jianjun looked at Zhu Ruiyan with some indignation. "You little bastard, eat my food. I'll let you pay for Xuanxuan's living expenses next month." Then he grabbed the money from the table and went out.

After Zhu Jianjun left, the house was in a mess. Zhou Hui helped his daughter up from the ground with a pained expression, and looked at the bruises on her face with sorrow. Zhou Hui said apologetically: "Yanyan, you're bleeding, are you hurt?"

Zhu Ruiyan looked at Zhou Hui and her heart felt uncomfortable. In the end, under Zhu Ruiyan's insistence and not going to the hospital, Zhou Hui took out the alcohol and band-aid that she had prepared at home to treat the wound on Zhu Ruiyan's forehead.

She walked out and saw that the ground was also a mess. Zhu Ruiyan suddenly had a bad premonition and sure enough, Zhu Jianjun had taken all the money in her bag along with the 2000 yuan that Qin Yizhao had given her.

Zhou Hui also walked into the courtyard. Seeing Zhu Ruiyan standing there in a daze, she seemed to understand something. Zhou Hui said softly: "Did he rummage through your bag for money?"

"No, no." Zhu Ruiyan immediately regained her senses and picked up the thing on the ground.

"How much did he take from you?" Of course, Zhou Hui knew what Zhu Ruiyan was planning. She was afraid that she would be in a difficult situation, so she didn't want to tell him.

"There really isn't one." Zhu Ruiyan could not help but shake her head, but her eyes started to moisten.

Zhou Hui felt extremely uncomfortable looking at her daughter's face, but she did not pursue the matter any further. Now, she really regretted why she had hastily stayed with Zhu Jianjun, but she was unable to return to her original world.

At night, Zhu Ruiyan and Zhou Hui laid on the bed together. After pondering for a long time, Zhu Ruiyan opened her mouth and said: "Mother, why don't you divorce him and come to the city with me?"

"Mom wants to wait until she retires." Zhou Hui sighed helplessly, "Why did you suddenly return? Did sister-in-law Huang call you? "

"I just missed you." Zhu Ruiyan turned and hugged Zhou Hui, and her tone seemed to be begging, "Mom, come with me to the city, don't stay here. You can retire early, I have the ability to support you and Xuanxuan, we should call the police and not live in this kind of lifestyle. "

"Yanyan, when did you talk about all these things? But Mother can't burden you. You're going to get married soon, Xuanxuan and I can't be a burden to you. And even if we call the police, maybe he'll be gone for a few months, and then we'll be even worse off. Furthermore, he did indeed help us a lot back then. We cannot repay kindness with hatred, this is the bottom line. "

Although Zhu Ruiyan was helpless, she knew what the final result would be.

Zhou Hui gently touched the band-aid on Zhu Ruiyan's forehead.

Zhu Ruiyan forced a smile on her face and shook her head: "It's not painful at all."

"Mom, why don't I get married? Come with me to the city, we'll always be together."

"Silly Miss, a woman needs a home to return to. You and Zhang Shuai have already been together for five years, how could you say something like that? I know you and Zhang Shuai will definitely be happy."

"Mom, I …" Zhu Ruiyan almost blurted out her matter with Zhang Shuai, but looking at her mother's scarred body, she could not bear to say anymore.

Zhu Ruiyan talked a lot with his mother that night, but she was still unable to persuade her to go to the city with her. Early Saturday morning, Zhou Hui was anxious to have Zhu Ruiyan return to the city. Zhu Ruiyan was not at ease, but Zhou Hui said: "It's fine, I'll make dumplings for you in the morning, after you eat it, go home obediently. He'll be safe for a while with the money. "

Therefore, Zhou Hui went to buy the meat stuffing and personally wrapped some dumplings for Zhu Ruiyan.

Before leaving, Zhu Ruiyan handed all of her remaining money to Zhou Hui after leaving the train fare. Although she was worried and unwilling to part with her, he still got into the car to return to the city. When Zhu Ruiyan returned to the city, it was already in the afternoon. She bought a few steamed buns from the supermarket and brought them home.

Zhu Ruiyan's phone was always turned off. She did not want to turn on her phone, nor did she want to contact anyone else.

When she opened the door, she saw a pair of black leather shoes lying quietly on the floor. Zhu Ruiyan's heart tightened.

After hearing the door open, Qin Yizhao walked out of his bedroom with a gloomy face. Zhu Ruiyan kept his head down the whole time, his heart jumping around like a little deer, she hurriedly started to change his shoes.

Qin Yizhao leaned on the bedroom door and asked with a cold voice: "Where did you go yesterday?"

Zhu Ruiyan slowly raised her head. She did not dare to look straight at Qin Yizhao, because her face was covered with scars. She did not know why he was still alive even at such a pathetic moment, but she did not want to let him see this.

Zhu Ruiyan didn't know how to answer this question, and could only stand at the doorway with his head lowered. Qin Yizhao still stood there casually, but his voice had become much deeper: "Look at me."

Zhu Ruiyan didn't know how long Qin Yizhao had stayed in the house for, but the strong smell of the smoke made her feel like Qin Yizhao had stayed in the house for quite a while.

Seeing Zhu Ruiyan not saying a word, the anger in Qin Yizhao's heart was immediately ignited. He walked in front of Zhu Ruiyan and was about to pinch her chin.

"People who have been mad for an entire night outside can't even be bothered to explain themselves?" Qin Yizhao asked Zhu Ruiyan in displeasure, but his gaze landed on her slightly wrinkled clothes. Qin Yizhao emphasized his tone by a few decibels, "Where exactly did you go last night? Look at me and speak! "

"Didn't I apply for leave from you yesterday? Can you leave my house first? " Zhu Ruiyan wished that there was a hole in the ground that she could hide in, so she subconsciously took another step back.

Qin Yizhao swept his gaze across Zhu Ruiyan. This woman was exceptionally abnormal today. He stayed silent for a few seconds, and then his voice became even colder: "Zhu Ruiyan, where did you go crazy last night? "Why did you come back all night?"

Zhu Ruiyan clenched both her hands into fists, took a deep breath and said: "I'm back home."

Qin Yizhao frowned, he took off his jacket and hung it on the clothes rack, then continued to walk towards the bedroom with his head lowered. Facing Zhu Ruiyan's disregard, Qin Yizhao was especially furious. He grabbed Zhu Ruiyan's wrist.

Zhu Ruiyan's arm was full of scars last night, and now that Qin Yizhao had grabbed onto it forcefully, it hurt even more.

"What are you going back for?" Qin Yizhao did not plan to give up asking.

Zhu Ruiyan did not answer and continued to keep his head lowered, ignoring him from the moment she entered the room. Qin Yizhao felt incomparably angry in his heart, so he pinched her chin and made her raise her head.

Qin Yizhao saw that Zhu Ruiyan's forehead was covered with a Band-Aids, and that there were bruises all around. Her eyelids were a little swollen, and it was very obvious that she had been beaten up.

Seeing Zhu Ruiyan's expression, the look in Qin Yizhao's eyes instantly became abnormally terrifying. Even Zhu Ruiyan could feel the emotions fluctuating from his face. Qin Yizhao took a deep breath in in an attempt to calm his heart. His hands unknowingly trembled, "Who hit you last night or …"

Hearing Qin Yizhao's tone, Zhu Ruiyan immediately reacted, and explained: "She was beaten up by someone."

Qin Yizhao looked at Zhu Ruiyan's injured face, her gaze becoming abnormally deep. He asked somewhat excitedly: "Who did it?"

"Don't ask, I'm fine now." Zhu Ruiyan felt especially uncomfortable in her heart, her voice had also become choked with sobs. She did not want to continue with this topic anymore, because her tears would still be unable to stop and she would want to cry.
