Chapter 1382: I Only Want You (80)
“What else would they mean? Why don’t you know anything?”
She said while walking, “Because I’ve been locked up ever since I was young. I didn’t have much of a chance to be exposed to the outside world.”
“Why were you locked up?”
She was candid about it and replied calmly, “Ever since I could remember, I had been locked up by a middle-aged woman and beaten up in all ways by her. It was only last year that I managed to escape. Then, I got captured back again and brought to a cliff where she tried to burn me to death. She said that not long after I was born, I became a sacrificial offering. It was my mother who sold me because my father had abandoned her.”
Tang Zhijing asked with a grave expression, “Then how did you get together with Pei Yi?”
“He was the one who saved me. He even saved me twice in total. I willingly became his woman.”
His gaze toward her carried some pity as he could not tell at all that she had been through so much suffering.
After she had finished speaking, Jing Chu remarked sulkily, “Pei Yi probably treats me as a prostitute, right? He doesn’t let me give birth for him as well.”
Tang Zhijing did not know how to answer her and eventually replied, “A man like him wouldn’t possibly have feelings for you because there are plenty of women for him to choose from. Isn’t his wife pregnant already?”
Jing Chu didn’t make a sound anymore.
Only when they reached the neighborhood did she finally say, “I really want to go somewhere nobody can find me and hide myself there.”
Tang Zhijing did not reply to her, and the two each headed home in their separate ways.
Pei Yi was back.
He sat in the living room with a cigarette between his fingers, looking rather moody.
He asked when he saw her enter the house, “Who’s the man who came back with you?”
“Someone who also does volunteer work. He’s been teaching English at the orphanage for two years already.”
“Why do you look ghastly?”
“Nothing much,” she answered.
“I see that you’ve been upset these few days. Have you been overthinking?”
Jing Chu looked at him and replied, “Indeed. I’ve been thinking too much these days, so I’ve had a lot of troubles on my mind.”
“Is there any point in overthinking?”
“No.”
“Then don’t think about it.”
Jing Chu was rendered speechless by him and did not say a word more.
What she least expected was that after she had satisfied Pei Yi and he had left, he would never come back again.
Nor did he call her or send her any text messages.
She naturally did not ask him why he had not gone to visit her.
Jing Chu had told herself that when she realized her place.
She could not expect anything from him.
Every day was spent peacefully for Jing Chu, and when she did not go to the orphanage, she would stay at home to read and learn words. That way, life did not feel too mundane to her.
If Pei Yi’s mother and Tian Tian did not visit, her peaceful days would have gone on like that.
The day those two came was half a month since the last time Pei Yi came to visit her.
It was during the midst of a stuffy and humid April.
The sky was exceptionally gloomy with dark clouds enveloping the sky. It looked like it was about to rain.
Jing Chu was wearing a clean, colorful dress. She did not need to do volunteer work at the orphanage this day, so she had stayed at home.
She had intentionally kept her hair long, and her long hair was let down, reaching a little below her shoulder.
The two did not press the doorbell when they came but simply brought someone to break the door’s lock and entered grandly like that.
To them, this was Pei Yi’s house, which meant that it was theirs too. If they wanted to break the door’s lock, there was no big deal about it.
When Jing Chu saw them, all the blood in her veins started to flow backward.
She wanted to dig a hole for herself to hide in. It had occurred to her before that such a day would come, but she never thought that this day would come so quickly.
Fat Lass was originally watching television, but when she saw them, she turned off the television instantly and stood aside, not daring to say a word.
Mrs. Pei started using her sharp gaze to size up Jing Chu, who was standing. When Tian Tian saw her, she seemed to have completely lost her rationality.
She instantly went forward and gave her a few slaps. But it wasn’t enough to vent her anger, so she threw a kick at her thereafter.
“You… you’re the woman I ran over with my car!” There was a look of disbelief on Tian Tian’s face. “Did you seduce him at the hospital?!”
There was a stinging sensation on Jing Chu’s face, but she did not fight back throughout. She answered in denial, “No. Before the two of you got married, I was living here already.”
She could not be any more obvious with her words. What she had meant was that she had gotten together with him first while Tian Tian married him after that. So, she was the one who had gotten together with him first.
“What?!” Tian Tian sneered. “No wonder when I came here previously, he told me this house was sold. Don’t tell me…”
If someone had not secretly sent her that email, she would not have known that there was a woman living here.
Jing Chu did not know that he had told Tian Tian that this house had been sold. He had never mentioned this to her before.
Looking at how Tian Tian was wearing a maternity dress and how her stomach was already bulging, the color in her eyes faded away. Even though she had gotten together with Pei Yi first, in front of his wife, she had no dignity left at all.
Mrs. Pei, who had not spoken since they entered, went forward to the sofa and sat down. Tian Tian then sat down beside her.
“Take a seat first,” the elderly lady remarked as she gestured for Jing Chu to sit down.
Jing Chu abided by her instructions and sat down.
“What’s your name?”
“Jing Chu.”
Mrs. Pei then said, “If I didn’t know about it, it wouldn’t matter. But now, since I’ve found out about this, I’ll have to serve justice for my daughter-in-law. Even if you and Yi’er got together before they had gotten married, after they got married, you still continued to be with him. This is shameless behavior, do you know that? I’ll definitely not allow him to continue this relationship with you. Don’t even think about getting rid of his current wife to take over her position.”
Jing Chu kept silent and did not speak a word. At this point, she felt like she was already thoroughly humiliated and had no more dignity left.
“Get your things out of here right now, ” Mrs. Pei ordered. “I’m telling you clearly now, those women who lusted after my son were killed by me. I’m not killing you now because I’m thinking of the child in my daughter-in-law’s stomach. So, don’t push your luck.”
Hearing these words, Jing Chu thought of what Qin Guo had once said. Those women were not killed by him, but his mother…
Then, why did Qin Guo say that he killed those people? Was it purely to scare her?
She replied, “I’ll leave this place right away. Please let Master Pei know, Madam.”
Hearing her reply, Mrs. Pei nodded. “Of course.”
Jing Chu did not want to intrude on them and instantly went upstairs to pack her clothes and shoes briefly. She did not take all of them and simply took her bank card along with her, then carried her luggage down from upstairs.
“You, get lost as well,” Mrs. Pei remarked as she turned to look at Fat Lass.
“Mr. Pei was the one who bought me.”
“Whether it’s to die or to get lost, make a choice. Today, I’ll make a decision for you to get lost now.”
“Yes…” Fat Lass did not dare to say anything further and went to pack her own luggage.
“You…” Mrs. Pei added, “If I find out that you’ve gotten close to my son again, I’ll definitely send someone to kill you. I’ll definitely not let you live another day. If you want to find out if I’m saying the truth, you can just wait and see.”
Jing Chu nodded her head in terror. “Yes, I got it.”
