Jiang Moxi was startled: "That house..."
She rembered that Yu Dingding had ntioned before that the apartnt was rented for her by Ye Chen.
"We had a good stretch, and then he transferred the property ownership to my na," Yu Dingding said, eyes gazing out the window, her eyes slightly reddened.
In that apartnt, there were actually countless sweet mories between her and Ye Chen.
Especially their first ti...
It was the first ti Yu Dingding had felt the joy of being a woman, and the first ti she had clung to Ye Chen’s tenderness, harboring the desire to be with him forever.
But now, none of that was possible.
Rather than keeping that house to vex herself, it’d be better to sell it, to no longer be bound by constraints.
Seeing the look of despair and confusion in Yu Dingding’s eyes, Jiang Moxi could roughly guess that Yu Dingding must have thought of those unpleasant things and pondered for a mont before speaking.
"I can help you sell the house, but what are your plans after that?"
"With the debt I owe Ye Chen, plus the money from selling the house, it should be almost enough. This way, my father can be out of prison in two months."
When Yu Dingding ntioned Yu Tongshu, a hint of light finally appeared in her stagnant eyes.
"I plan to stick to the original plan; once my dad is released, I’ll take him abroad, away from all these troubles."
This topic brought a slight smile to Yu Dingding’s face, and so Jiang Moxi chatted with her a bit more: "Where do you plan to take Uncle?"
"New Zealand. I heard it’s not too competitive there, and life can be quite relaxing," Yu Dingding said.
"I’ve heard they have a lot of fruits and vegetables too," said Jiang Moxi, who had lived in many countries and thus knew a bit about New Zealand.
"I’m not sure about that, but once I’m a native there, if you co to visit, I’ll take you around for food."
"Then it’s settled..."
Later, Jiang Moxi stayed a while longer with Yu Dingding, and seeing her beco more emotionally stable, she left the hospital room.
She planned to deal with the apartnt first, then help Yu Dingding rent a place with high security.
But what Jiang Moxi didn’t expect was that right after leaving the hospital room, she ran into Jiang Weiwei.
Jiang Weiwei was also in a hospital gown, peeking around at the entrance.
Seeing Jiang Moxi co out of the room, Jiang Weiwei didn’t hide and even greeted Jiang Moxi with a smile.
"Moxi, I’ve caught a bit of a cold these past two days. Mom and Dad wouldn’t be at ease, they coaxed and persuaded to stay in the hospital for a couple of days."
This was to tell Jiang Moxi that Jiang Weiwei still held a different place in Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man’s hearts.
Even if Jiang Moxi resorted to all kinds of low tactics, she still couldn’t replace her!
In the end, Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man would still choose her.
But these words seed not to hurt Jiang Moxi; she expressionlessly tried to pass by her to leave.
Jiang Weiwei could only ask again: "That’s ’Night Color’s Oiran, Yu Dingding, right?"
This forced Jiang Moxi to face her.
Even hospitalized, Jiang Weiwei’s hairstyle and makeup were ticulously done, perfectly showcasing her fragile beauty, looking like a sick beauty.
But when this ’sick beauty’ saw that Jiang Moxi was finally giving her attention, her words beca even more brazen.
"Jiang Moxi, aren’t you quite bold? You’ve deceived everyone in the world, even earned a recomndation to the National Security Departnt, so why are you still pathetic enough to associate with such disreputable people, why hasn’t anyone taken you back to the Jiang Family?"
Actually, no matter how Jiang Weiwei ridiculed her, Jiang Moxi couldn’t be bothered to argue with her.
Because with soone like this mire, the more you engage with her, the more excited she gets.
But Jiang Weiwei ntioned Yu Dingding and even called her disreputable...
Jiang Moxi couldn’t take it anymore and abruptly grabbed Jiang Weiwei’s long hair draped over her shoulder.
"Jiang Moxi, what are you doing? Let go!"
Jiang Weiwei winced in pain, grabbing Jiang Moxi’s hand, trying to break free.
"Co with !" Jiang Moxi didn’t care how Jiang Weiwei struggled, and directly dragged her into the ladies’ restroom nearby.
Jiang Moxi neatly placed a "Cleaning in Progress" sign at the door and then turned on the faucet, plunging Jiang Weiwei’s head under the running water.
Jiang Weiwei cried out desperately: "Jiang Moxi, have you gone mad? Doing this to !"
Jiang Moxi’s face was expressionless as he continued to press her head down, "Your mouth is filthy. I’m helping you clean it, what’s wrong with that?"
"I... glub glub."
Jiang Weiwei couldn’t finish her sentence, only able to resist with all her might.
Jiang Moxi wasn’t looking to take her life, and seeing Jiang Weiwei was almost drowning, he allowed her to catch her breath a couple of tis.
But after coughing a few tis, Jiang Weiwei started breathing heavily, accusing Jiang Moxi.
"I have severe cold-induced pneumonia, I’ve been hospitalized for several days before I started getting better. You drenching in cold water now, are you trying to murder ?"
Jiang Moxi gave a mischievous smile: "So you’ve been that sick? Then it’s perfect for to get rid of you, the troublemaker."
Jiang Weiwei looked at Jiang Moxi in disbelief: "Are you joking?"
If it wasn’t a joke, why did it feel like Jiang Moxi didn’t value human life at all?
But her doubts were not answered by Jiang Moxi.
Jiang Moxi very decisively pressed Jiang Weiwei’s head under the faucet again.
Jiang Weiwei choked on the water several tis, feeling extrely miserable.
But Jiang Moxi kept pressing her head down without letting go.
For a mont, Jiang Weiwei thought she really might die there and regretted provoking Jiang Moxi.
But fortunately, in the end, Jiang Moxi let go.
Breathing in fresh air again, Jiang Weiwei gasped heavily.
She didn’t dare to say any harsh words to Jiang Moxi now, fearing he would do sothing terrible to her again.
However, Jiang Moxi only said, "I have so matters to deal with today, so I’ll leave you with this miserable life. If I hear you badmouthing Yu Dingding again, it won’t be as simple as just cleaning your filthy mouth."
After dropping those words, Jiang Moxi left the hospital while making a call to a real estate agent.
Jiang Weiwei kept coughing and was too preoccupied to quarrel with Jiang Moxi.
But the cold water did more than wet her face and make her choke; it also soaked her hair and clothes.
She hurried back to her ward, changed out of her wet clothes, and dried her hair.
She had been drenched in rain all day long, had a high fever which turned into pneumonia, and she didn’t want to experience that feeling of being worse off than dead at all.
However, fate was not on her side, as she started to have a fever again half an hour later, delirious with her pneumonia flaring up...
*
The real estate agent that Jiang Moxi contacted was quite efficient.
Yu Dingding promised that all the items in the house could be given to the new owner as a bonus if the contract was signed that day.
So that afternoon, both parties signed the real estate contract.
And with the money from selling the house, Jiang Moxi found Yu Dingding a sowhat older two-bedroom apartnt.
Soon after, Jiang Moxi picked up Yu Dingding from the hospital and took her to this newly rented apartnt.
"The environnt here is quite complete, mainly inhabited by teachers, so there won’t be any riff-raff around."
"I’ve arranged for two cleaners to tidy up this afternoon, and added so things you need."
While Jiang Moxi introduced the place, Yu Dingding examined the new apartnt.
The main color sche of the house was a warm yellow, not luxurious but very cozy.
Yu Dingding couldn’t help but hug Jiang Moxi, "Thank you, Moxi. I really don’t know how I would have coped on my own without you..."
