Chapter 8 - Anger Is a Two-edged Sword

He thought that Su Qiao An would retort and use her strength to argue with him.

He had also thought that she would openly admit to it and then use a sarcastic and mocking attitude towards him as she choked on his words.

The only thing he had never thought of was that she would weakly face him. She would not deliberately conceal her past, but Zhu Jiangci could hear the deep sadness and powerlessness in her words.

was not mentally prepared for such a sudden display of weakness. He even wanted to open his mouth and explain, in an attempt to ease the sharpness of the words he had spoken just now.

In his fury, he blurted out a word that was like a double-edged sword, injuring others without a trace.

F * ck! He couldn't help but curse silently. The guilt was still there, unfathomable.

Zhu Jiangci's lips moved, he could not utter a single word.

Suddenly, his mind went blank and he frowned. "What are you doing?"

"Isn't that why you brought me here?" Su Qiao An expressionlessly put his hands behind his back to pull the zipper, "What can a prostitute do? Isn't it just being sold? "

He choked and his Adam's apple rolled. There was nothing he could say.

Seeing that she was really taking off her clothes, Zhu Jiangci could no longer endure it any longer and pushed her away, "Scram!"

Su Qiao An crashed into the door and stopped pulling the zipper.

"Are you sure you want me to scram?" Su Qiao An smiled, "I thought you needed me to help you with your physiological needs, but it doesn't matter. As the Mrs. Chu, I have an obligation to help you, so treat it as me spending money to find a duck."

Following that, she was pushed out by Zhu Jiangci, causing the room's door to shake.

Su Qiao An's smile gradually disappeared. Rubbing his elbow that was hurting from the impact, he stood in front of the closed door for a long time.

A door separated two people.

Even if they were tied together, the two of them wouldn't be able to walk together. Their hearts had never been together before.

She was locked out of his heart.

Zhu Jiangci, on the other hand, had grown up in her heart, and had absorbed her heart's blood and nutrients.

Inside the house, Zhu Jiangci depressingly pulled open the collar of his shirt.

How could a woman have so many faces? One second, he felt a little guilty because he had personally attacked her mother. The next moment, she would strip out of her clothes and throw herself at him.

He stood by the window and looked out into the hazy night, his eyes gradually clouding over.

The reason he was angry was because Zhu Shixiong told him to restrain himself and to get Su Qiao An pregnant as soon as possible.

Did he really use him to grow horses back then?

That night, he lay in bed and closed his eyes.

After falling asleep, Zhu Jiangci dreamt of the past.

In his dreams, he did not know if he was a guest or not. He passed through those years again and again.

— —

Early the next morning, when Zhu Jiangci woke up, he still felt a faint pain in his forehead.

When he was done, he went downstairs and was greeted by a constant stream of servants.

As they sat at the dining table eating breakfast, Zhu Shixiong and Feng Manli had already woken up.

Zhu Shixiong was reading the newspaper, and upon hearing that Zhu Jiangci had entered, he did not even bat an eyelid, "Where's Qiao An?"

"I don't know." Zhu Jiangci's attitude was even colder than Zhu Shixiong's.

"She's your wife, can't you be more concerned about her?" Zhu Shixiong raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Jiangci, "Look at what you look like! If you aren't fooling around with some female celebrity, and if you just go out and get a room with some young master, do you still treat Qiao An as your wife?! "

"It's you who asked me to marry her, I already did as I was told!" Zhu Jiangci said with a calm expression, "I also said that it's fine if you want me to marry her, what I'll do with her next, how I'll treat her, that's my problem. Dad, if you're so displeased, why didn't you marry her back then as my wife?"

Zhu Jiangci looked at Zhu Shixiong with a smile that was not a smile. When Zhu Shixiong heard his shameless words, he slammed the table heavily. Do you still have a clean word in your mouth? Do you feel wronged that I let you marry Qiao An? What can you do if you marry that sickly son of the Jiang family? In less than two days, if he were to die, are you still planning to be a widow for her entire life? "

"Yes," Zhu Jiangci said with a smile, "If she dies, I will give her a widow that will never marry into my family. You are correct, there is only one Mrs. Chu, and in my heart, there is only one wife."

"You!" Zhu Shixiong wanted to make a move, but Feng Manli held him down and consoled him, "Shixiong, don't always get angry at that child, you know how long Jiang Ci has known the Jiang Family's girl, you forced him to marry this kind of woman into the sect, of course he wouldn't feel comfortable, if I say so, since Jiang Ci already married that woman, she should be cherishing her fortune! Jiang Ci will do whatever he wants, and we as parents need not meddle in the affairs of the children, you … "

"Shut up!" Zhu Shixiong glared fiercely at Feng Manli, "It's precisely because of your good upbringing that you taught such a bastard who dares to do whatever he wants!"

Zhu Jiangci stood up with an indifferent expression, "It's getting late, I, this bastard, should also go to work."

He could still hear Zhu Shixiong and Feng Manli arguing outside. The main effect of it was that Feng Manli was not satisfied with Zhu Shixiong's attitude towards him, and that Su Qiao An had not lived a peaceful life in his house ever since he had entered.

His lips were raised and his eyes were full of ridicule.

At the entrance, he met Su Yun.

Seeing Zhu Jiangci, Su Qiao An pretended not to see it, changed his shoes and was about to leave.

Zhu Jiangci frowned, what kind of attitude was this?

"Su Qiao An!" He called out to Su Qiao An.

Su Qiao An stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at him, "Is something the matter?"

Her lips moved slightly, but just as she was about to speak, Su Qiao An cut him off. She raised her hand, looked at the watch in her hand, and said with a cold look in her eyes, "Sorry, I have to go to court at 10, it will take me an hour to get to the city center without getting into a jam. Since it is the morning, I need 2 hours to rush back.

This meant … Was he very idle?

Without waiting for Zhu Jiangci to flare up, Su Qiao An turned and walked away.

She was indeed very busy. Recently, she had been too busy to even forget about the family dinner and didn't even buy any presents. Right now, she still had to rush back to prepare the materials needed for her appearance.

Song Cheng had long prepared for this, after he went over, she immediately got in the car, and just as he was about to drive away, the door to the front passenger seat opened, and she looked at Zhu Jiangci who sat inside, and could not help but be startled.

"What are you doing?" Su Qiao An looked at him suspiciously, not understanding why he had gone crazy again.

"By the way, I don't want to drive." Zhu Jiangci answered her concisely.

Su Qiao An shot him a few glances, suppressed the discontent in his heart, then started the car and drove off.

Su Qiao An heard what they said in the dining hall.

She didn't have any reaction because this scene had already played out countless times during this short marriage. She kept listening to Zhu Jiangci repeating how much he loved Jiang Kerou, and at first, she would even feel pain in her heart and become numb to it.

No one spoke as they drove back to the city.

Zhu Jiangci saw something stretching out from the front of the carriage. The center of his brows slightly raised, and he extended his hand out, pulling the thing out of the carriage. The moment the carriage came to an emergency stop, Su Qiao An stopped and looked at the thing in his hands, his face as white as paper.
