But she had to restrain herself, as long as her mother's illness was not cured, she had to endure it herself. She had to swallow her anger and allow the people from Qu Family to bully her. She was silent, eyes downcast, allowing the Qu Family to say all sorts of nasty things.
"If you are unable to bear children, what's the use of our Qu Family keeping you?" The kohlrabi fructus glanced at Shi Xingcan, "Don't you know what to do?"
"She just wanted the position of the Madame Qu. She thought that if she married, she would be safe, even her children wouldn't be willing to give birth." Fourth Aunt ridiculed him while she was eating her melon seeds.
"You can even get a divorce when you're married. You didn't sign the prenuptial agreement so we didn't dare to divorce you. Are you afraid that you would split half of the property with us?" Second Aunt also looked at Shi Xingcan in disdain, "Don't be delusional!"
Shi Xingcan could only try her best to hold back her tears as she stood there, staring at her toes. The last time she felt such embarrassment was because she was scolded by Shi Mengxi herself when she was young, and then humiliated by a large group of children. After that, she beat Shi Mengxi, then was severely taught a lesson by Shi Jun and Su Qing, and even punished her mother.
But today, she could not resist.
"Alright, enough." "Crooked Father acted as the peacemaker once again." It's so late and I need to rest. "Xingcan, you go back first."
He said that he wanted to rest, so it was not good for them to continue pestering him. Shi Xingcan gratefully bowed to Crooked Father and bid farewell to his relatives who had scolded her one by one without even glancing at her. Then, he fled Qu Family in a sorry state.
She could also see that Crooked Father felt that she should stay with them, but with the situation in front of her, if she really decided to stay, she would probably be tortured to death by her relatives.
After leaving the Qu Residence, Shi Xingcan walked on the deserted street. Occasionally, one or two cars would drive by quickly on the road, they were all expensive luxury cars. Shi Xingcan saw a black Rolls-Royce driving towards her, her heart started beating faster, but then the Rolls-Royce turned in front of her, and it was not Qin Yanmo's car.
She secretly chided herself for thinking about Qin Yanmo. She shook her head to clear it up and decided to take a taxi back. However, it was impossible for a taxi to appear in the Rich District at this time of the year. Shi Xingcan stood by the side of the road and waited for a while, she then chose to walk back to the subway station.
By the time she returned to Qu Zhong's villa, it was already the latter half of the night. After hastily washing up, Shi Xingcan laid on the bed and massaged his tired legs, but was unable to fall asleep. Those words of mockery kept echoing in his mind, and the tears that Shi Xingcan had endured the whole night finally started to gush out. She buried her face in the pillow and let out a little sob.
She finally fell asleep in the early morning, but soon after she did, the front door of the villa was opened and two loud voices resounded in the living room.
Seeing her, Han Yue walked over happily, his eyes full of haughtiness and disdain: "Such a big house, it's really a waste for you to live here by yourself, how about I live with you?"
"You …" Han Yue raised her hand to slap Shi Xingcan, but seeing Shi Xingcan's dangerous gaze, she put it down. She then turned to act coquettishly towards Qu Zhong.
"Hubby... "Look at her, she bullied me …"
"Yue Yue will be staying here next time. Since you have nothing to do, just cook and clean up." Qu Zhong looked at Shi Xingcan with disgust.
"I don't dare to eat the food she cooks." Han Yue rolled his eyes at Shi Xingcan.
"Got it." Shi Xingcan expressionlessly said to Qu Zhong before she turned around and entered the room. She was disgusted with them, but what could she do? After all, this was Qu Zhong's home, and if he was threatened, he had no right to speak.
She could only listen to the playful noises of Qu Zhong and Han Yue outside. She opened her phone and sent a message to her mother. Seeing that her mother had replied that everything was fine, she felt better and comforted herself that all of this was worth it.
"Shi Xingcan, come and clean this place!" Han Yue's shout came from the dining hall. Shi Xingcan ignored him and called her name twice more. After that, she heard Qu Zhong's angry shout and turned to leave the room.
The two of them ordered takeout and purposely threw things all over the place. The two of them had almost finished eating. There was still a plate of chicken rice flowers left, which they used as a prop to play the game of throwing. Han Yue and Qu Zhong sat on the two sides of the long table, Han Yue picked up a piece of the rice flower and threw it towards Qu Zhong, who caught it with his mouth.
Shi Xingcan really wanted to say that her actions looked like she was playing with a dog. But it was none of her business whether they liked each other or not. She was only responsible for cleaning the popcorn, which had fallen to the ground due to the low drop rate, into the trash can.
Suddenly, someone hit on the back of her head, it turned out that Han Yue's chicken rice flower had hit her head. Shi Xingcan knew that her position was something that couldn't be hit no matter what. It had to be Han Yue's doing. But Shi Xingcan only turned his head and looked at Han Yue expressionlessly before he continued with his work. Seeing her reaction, Han Yue felt bored and ignored her.
It wasn't until after the two of them had played enough to leave the dining hall did Shi Xingcan finally manage to clean up the table properly so that she could casually get some breakfast to fill her stomach. Just as she finished eating, she heard Han Yue's voice calling her to organize the food.
Shi Xingcan walked over without saying a word, pretending she couldn't hear the sarcasm in Han Yue's heart. She also remembered a neighbor's grandmother telling her when she was young, "People that you don't like should talk to you like dogs to fart." Therefore, Shi Xingcan thought, if Han Yue was a dog, then what kind of dog would she be?
"Mom, are you all right?" Finally, when the two of them went to sleep, Shi Xingcan got the chance to call her mother.
"I'm fine." Yang Qi's voice sounded a little weak, "We are starting a new phase of the chemotherapy, but the doctor said that the situation is very good, so you don't have to worry."
"Mm, I'll come see you when I get the chance." Shi Xingcan said.
"How are you and Little Zhong? He didn't bully you, did he? " Yang Qi asked worriedly.
But without waiting for Yang Qi to reply, Shi Xingcan heard Han Yue's loud shouting coming from the next room, while shouting something like "Big brother, you're so fierce". She immediately covered the phone, spoke to her mother again, then quickly hung up.
Han Yue's shout was extremely exaggerated, and it continued until the latter half of the night before stopping. The only possibility was that they had deliberately opened the door so that Shi Xingcan could hear them. Therefore, Shi Xingcan could also hear that after twenty minutes, Han Yue's cries were mixed with some trembling sounds.
It was the same on the second day. Qu Zhong seemed to not need to go to work at all as he spent every day together with Han Yue at home. Three days later, the two of them probably couldn't stand this kind of high frequency show anymore, so when the "light bulb" didn't respond, they went out to see a movie. Shi Xingcan took this opportunity and planned to go out and take a look to get some fresh air.
There weren't many cars on the road, so when she walked out of the district, she saw a black Rolls-Royce parked on the other side of the street. A tall and handsome man was leaning against the car while smoking. When the man saw her, he immediately put out his cigarette and walked over to her.
"Xingcan, are you okay?" Qin Yanmo looked at her eagerly.
Shi Xingcan's lips moved. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and ran into the residential area as if she had made her decision.
"Xing Can!" Qin Yanmo anxiously chased after him, but as a car drove past, he had to stop. When the car drove off, Shi Xingcan had already run into the district.
"Xing Can!" Qin Yanmo chased after him, but Shi Xingcan had already entered the villa as nimbly as a cat, and then closed the door with a bang.
Qin Yanmo had no choice but to leave.
Shi Xingcan rushed all the way into her bedroom and threw herself on the bed, her heart beating non-stop. She had to admit that she missed Qin Yanmo a lot and wanted to chat with him, but Qu Zhong and Han Yue might come back anytime, and the time home might even arrange someone to monitor her. Thus, she didn't dare to do so.
On the second day, Qu Zhong finally went to work like a normal person. Only Han Yue and Shi Xingcan were left in the house. Qu Zhong specifically "reminded" his not to leave as he please, and to serve Han Yue at home. Even though there was an additional servant in the family due to Han Yue's arrival, Han Yue still liked to shout and shout at Shi Xingcan.
"How is it? Do you still feel comfortable with this room you're in? " The moment Qu Zhong stepped out of the door, Han Yue immediately sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking down at Shi Xingcan with a condescending gaze.
"I'm fine." Shi Xingcan's tone was cold and detached, "It's hard for you to abandon your own son and run all the way here to intentionally anger me."
"You think I'm purposely mad at you?" Han Yue saw that Shi Xingcan had directly revealed her purpose, and suddenly felt like her secret had been exposed.
"You …" Han Yue was infuriated to the point that she couldn't say a single word. Shi Xingcan continued:
"It's hard on your son. In order to anger a woman who has nothing to do with him, his mother threw him to someone else." Shi Xingcan casually picked up the cup on the side. Seeing that it was empty, he wanted to make a cup of coffee to drink.
"My son lives at his maternal grandma's house. Very good." Han Yue finally retorted, "You want me to leave just because you said that? It's really hard on you, to be so jealous yet you pretend like nothing happened!"
