Could Si Yuhuan actually say sothing like that? Jian Xi was skeptical.
As the saying goes, "you don’t hit a smiling face." She rarely showed weakness. "It hurts."
"It hurts and you still don’t know enough to be careful? Are you a pig?"
Exactly! I shouldn’t have looked at him through rose-tinted glasses. Si Yuhuan is truly an insufferable, venomous-tongued man!
"Your whole family are pigs! Didn’t you hear the testimony just now? I was attacked to end up like this! Soone deliberately wanted dead! Si Yuhuan, as my husband, shouldn’t you stand up for and see that justice is done? If people find out that your woman, Si Yuhuan’s woman, can be so easily hard on the street, I really don’t know where you’ll hide your face."
Jian Xi was right; the video of her car accident had already gone viral online.
So claid that, leveraging her esteed status as the young miss of the Jian Family, she had disregarded traffic laws, causing a disruption, and then feigned injury to evade responsibility. In short, all kinds of slander were being hurled at her.
Si Yuhuan beca her punching bag. Her eyes reddened with grievance.
"Useless!" he said coldly.
Jian Xi was so angry she shoved him.
If Jiang Qing were treated this way, he’d be heartbroken! Would he still utter such callous remarks? It’s obvious he doesn’t take seriously; that’s why he dares to hurt so carelessly!
"Fine, don’t care then! Si Yuhuan, you bastard!" Jian Xi wasn’t about to coddle him. She pushed him away and headed for the door.
If he wouldn’t help, she had her own thods. There must be clues on the dashcam footage.
Suddenly, her body was lifted into the air.
Si Yuhuan had swept her up from behind, carrying her bridal style.
"What are you doing?" Has he gone mad, doing this in public?! Jian Xi glared at him.
Si Yuhuan stated coolly, "As long as I’m at the Jian Family Old House, Grandfather won’t let off the hook if anything happens to you. I’ll handle this."
Has he had a change of heart? Jian Xi stopped struggling.
Her head was genuinely spinning. Two impacts in a row... I hope there won’t be any lasting effects.
"Si Yuhuan, you have to take responsibility for . If it weren’t for the injuries you caused before, I wouldn’t have hit my head repeatedly. If I beco an idiot, you’ll have to compensate ."
"Still thinking about compensation at a ti like this? Are you obsessed with money?" What a gold-digger!
Jian Xi retorted sarcastically, "It’s every person for themself, and the devil take the hindmost. Since you don’t love , of course, I have to secure my own future."
Si Yuhuan was thoroughly irked by her words. When did this woman’s tongue beco so sharp and annoying? He seriously doubted if the sweet-talking Jian Xi from before was a fake.
Leaning into his strong arms, Jian Xi exhaled deeply, exhausted. Even if Si Yuhuan is a scoundrel, I still need his help with this. After all, not many people in Beijing possess his kind of influence and connections. I need to find out who’s plotting against .

Assistant Xiaozhang was growing anxious. She had just received a call from her subordinate reporting that the mission had failed, leaving her on edge. If I fail to handle things properly for Miss Jiang, I’ll definitely be in for it.
Jiang Qing had just finished a photoshoot and returned ho.
Xiaozhang nearly fell to her knees to apologize. "Sister ng, I’m so sorry, I ssed up. Please don’t be angry, I swear..."
Jiang Qing, who was changing clothes, paused. Xiaozhang couldn’t stop trembling. PLOP. She collapsed to the ground, prostrating herself.
Jiang Qing smiled and walked over to help her up, her expression utterly benign. "Xiaozhang, what are you saying? Your sister here doesn’t understand. Are you muddled from exhaustion?"
Xiaozhang lifted her eyes, filled with disbelief. "Sister ng... you..."
"Xiaozhang, it hasn’t been easy for you, being new and all, with an elderly father to support and living frugally. Your sister here appreciates your capability and sense of responsibility. You know, countless people would kill to be my assistant; they wouldn’t even get a chance if they lined up. You earn fifty thousand a month, plus quite a bit extra on the side..."
Jiang Qing smiled benignly, but her words, each like a polished, pointed gem, struck Xiaozhang like hamr blows.
She slumped to the ground, her eyes vacant. After a long while, she drooped her shoulders in resignation.
"Sister ng, corruption, taking bribes, dereliction of duty—it’s all my fault. I’m willing to accept any punishnt. I only hope you can help take care of my father."
"Of course. We’re like sisters; your father is like family to . I certainly won’t shirk my duty."
Jiang Qing’s delicate fingers lightly brushed Xiaozhang’s shoulder. "Just rest easy."

Jian Xi wasn’t taken back to the hospital. Instead, she was brought to the Jian Family residence.
At the sa ti, three highly skilled private doctors arrived with them.
Si Yuhuan ordered them to monitor Jian Xi constantly and ensure her well-being.
The sun must have risen in the west—he’s actually concerned about .
For a man one once loved, such a gesture would montarily unsettle anyone. If... if he had loved like this back then, would everything have ended differently?
Jian Xi felt her breath catch, a fleeting discomfort so swift she barely registered it. Her mind went blank for an instant. It was a bizarre sensation, and she hated the feeling of her emotions escaping her control.
Si Yuhuan looked her up and down, catching the dark glint that flashed in her eyes. His jealousy faded, replaced by a perverse thrill. "What? Realized you’re still hopelessly in love with ?"
Anger flared in Jian Xi’s heart. I deserve to die! How could I be softening towards him again? A scumbag like Si Yuhuan deserves to die a thousand deaths!
She fiercely pushed Si Yuhuan away. "Get lost!"
Si Yuhuan staggered from the push but didn’t get angry.
Upstairs, Jian Xi went to get her toiletries. The mont she opened the cabinet, her eyes fell upon rows of high-end, custom-made n’s underwear and nurous n’s suits.
Her head felt like it was about to explode. "Si Yuhuan, what do you think you’re doing?"
She had explicitly forbidden him from entering; this was her private space. Yet, not only had he co, but he’d also brought so many of his personal belongings. What on earth is he trying to pull?
"Since we’re married, naturally we should live together. What’s wrong with moving my things in?" Si Yuhuan stated, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Jian Xi grabbed his clothes and started throwing them downstairs.
Si Yuhuan said nonchalantly, "Go ahead, throw them out. Whatever you toss today, soone will bring double the amount tomorrow."
Jian Xi was speechless.
Truly, when one is shaless, one is invincible. To think that the great Si Yuhuan would one day resort to such shaless tactics to move into her villa!
He drawled, "Don’t forget, we’re not divorced. I have half the residency rights to this house. I ntioned this at the small apartnt, rember?"
Si Yuhuan sprawled on the bed without a care in the world.
"Fine! You stay here, I’ll go!" Furious, Jian Xi grabbed her comforter and stord off to the adjacent guest room.
She was about to explode with rage. That damned, disgusting man! He enjoys seeing uncomfortable, doesn’t he? Fine! I’ll make him uncomfortable too!
The Jian Family kept several cats and dogs. Jian Xi scooped up a few and tossed them directly into the master bedroom.
A mont later, furious roars erupted from the bedroom.
"Jian Xi! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!" Si Yuhuan, who was allergic to pet dander, bellowed.
