Chapter 124: I’ll Pick You up From School Tomorrow
“Enough, say no more!”
Jiang Zeyu interrupted, “I don’t want to listen to anymore. That’s just how it’s going to be. I won’t participate.”
He strode away.
Jiang Yu watched Jiang Zeyu’s back as he left, but she didn’t follow him.
This was the first time Jiang Zeyu has left Jiang Yu behind. This could only mean that he was very unhappy at the moment.
Jiang Yu slowly turned her head.
She slowly asked, “You said that it was because of some reasons… What were those reasons?”
The girl’s eyes and brows were exquisite. Especially from a close distance, one could feel the full impact of her beauty.
Song Bi was screaming in his heart that she was indeed the school belle. Her looks were way better than Jiang Wan’s!
He sighed and said, “It’s a long story. Brother Yu doesn’t want others to know about it, I went to the hospital to pick him up because I was the only one who knew about his accident. I accompanied him for a period of time, and he told me bits here and there. I pieced together what I knew, but I might not have the complete picture…”
Jiang Yu’s eyes were filled with impatience. “Cut to the chase.”
Song Bi: … As expected, they are biological siblings. Their impatience was made from the same mold.
He raised his head and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. He looked like someone who had experienced the vicissitudes of life and said, “It’s like this…”
…
After listening to the whole story, Jiang Yu returned to the classroom.
She looked in Jiang Zeyu’s direction and then at the flyer in her hand, deep in thought.
…
When she received Jiang Xingyi’s call, Jiang Yu was on the road.
On the other end of the phone, from his tone of voice, Jiang Xingyi sounded like he was in a good mood.
He first exchanged a few pleasantries with Jiang Yu before asking, “Little Sister, is school over? Are you home yet?”
“Yeah,” Jiang Yu replied before saying, “No.”
“Be careful on your way home.”
“Okay.”
After a few more sentences, Jiang Xingyi sensed that something was wrong.
“Is it my imagination? Little Sister, your voice… It seems to be better?”
Jiang Yu replied, “You’re not hearing things.”
Jiang Xingyi couldn’t help but recall Jiang Yu’s childish voice back when he was younger. He let out a laugh and said, “Little Sister, if your voice fully recovers, it will definitely be very sweet.”
“When the time comes, I wonder if I can have the honor of inviting you to sing a song with me?”
Jiang Yu replied, “We’ll see. I’ve been a little busy recently.”
Jiang Xingyi had expected that Jiang Yu wouldn’t agree so easily, so he wasn’t surprised by her reply.
Moreover, Jiang Yu didn’t explicitly reject him, which meant that he could still fight for it.
Jiang Xingyi completely ignored the possibility that Jiang Yu was trying to save him some face. He continued, “Since Little Sister is so busy, it’s wouldn’t be convenient for you to come over to my place. How about I pick you up from school tomorrow?”
Jiang Yu thought for a moment, “Don’t you have any concerts to perform at?”
“I’ll be performing next week. I’m free for the next two days.”
Jiang Xingyi neglected to mention that he had already returned to Hua Chuan City to prepare over the last few days. He was currently in the recording studio and was just getting used to the band after practicing a few times. When he was taking a break, he remembered to give Jiang Yu a call.
Of course, there was another reason. He had just played his new theme song to the music producer and he was very satisfied with the producer’s response. He couldn’t wait to share the good news with Jiang Yu.
After all, he didn’t write the song by himself. If it was going to be released, he would have to write his little sister’s name down as one of the composers.
Chapter 125: Domestic Violence
Jiang Yu asked again, “Would that be convenient for you?”
“Yes.”
“Okay then.”
After hanging up, Jiang Xingyi said to his assistant, “Help me book a flight back to Beijing tomorrow afternoon.”
Xiao Fan was stunned. “Brother Xingyi, don’t you have to rehearse tomorrow morning?”
Jiang Xingyi said lazily, “Yes, that’s why I’m leaving at noon.”
Xiao Fan: “… if Brother Wu finds out, he won’t let you leave.”
“Then why don’t you just keep it a secret from him?”
Xiao Fan felt conflicted as he said, “Brother Xingyi, Brother Wu is watching you because you’ve been taking a lot of other trips. You’ve been in the capital for more than a week now, he’s already very unhappy.”
“You’ve only just returned, and it’s only a few days before the concert. Now you’re want to go back to the capital again… If he finds out, I won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
“He’s already emphasized that he wants me to keep an eye on you. I… I’m really in a tough spot…”
“If he asks, just tell him that I went to see my new arrangement teacher and that I need to change the song again.”
Jiang Xingyi curled his lips and said, “Don’t worry, he’s heard the theme song already. There won’t be any problems.”
…
On the other side, after Jiang Yu had hung up, she walked out from behind a wall.
She stood in front of an old gate that lead into a small neighborhood. Just a few minutes ago, she had seen Ji Churan walk in with her own eyes.
When she had seen the red mark on Ji Churan’s arm for the first time, Jiang Yu had thought that she had accidentally crashed into something.
The second time thought, the moment Jiang Zeyu had touched her, Ji Churan had gasped in pain. It was impossible for Jiang Yu to pretend that she didn’t see anything.
In school, Ji Churan spent most of her free time with her. After learning about her relationship with Ji Churan, even if the person didn’t know her strength, Jiang Yu had Jiang Zeyu protecting her from behind the scenes. No one in school would dare make a move on Ji Churan like that.
Otherwise, aren’t those people purposely looking for a beating?
Moreover, those red marks…
Didn’t seem like they were made by a hand. Instead, they looked like they had been made by a belt or a whip.
Jiang Yu could only think of one possibility: Ji Churan was being abused.
Jiang Yu knew that if she directly suggested walking home with Ji Churan, Ji Churan would definitely not agree.
She had already guessed what was happening to Ji Churan and it wouldn’t be her style to not take any action.
So, she followed Ji Churan to her neighborhood. After asking around, she easily found the floor where Ji Churan lived.
As Jiang Yu stood outside the door, she heard the sound of people hitting and scolding her.
“You money-wasting b*tch! What’s the point of having a daughter like you?”
“I get a heart attack every time I see you! Why aren’t you a boy? Daughters of other families, they would have long gone out to work to support their families at your age!”
“You’re the only one, why the f*ck do you want to bother with studying? Do you know how expensive it is to attend school? So what if you study? Aren’t you just going to get married in the future?”
“Aren’t you just going to be a housewife who pops out children, takes care of them, and cleans the house? You’re just like your mother, a useless piece of trash!”
“Ever since I had you, my luck has been getting worse by the day. I haven’t won a single card game up to this day. Every day I lose, every single f*cking day, and you’re taking whatever I have left!”
The person was cursing like a mad dog. With a smash, the sound of a beer bottle breaking could be heard.
Jiang Yu frowned!
She had heard the sound of hissing air!
She raised her foot—
and kicked the door open!
Chapter 126: She Wanted to Kill Him for Real
With a loud “BANG”, the door slammed into the wall!
Before Ji Guomin could react to the sudden opening of the door, the belt in his hand was grabbed by someone.
He reflexively wanted to take back the right to use the belt but his hand had completely lost its grip. The belt slipped out of his hand with a “whoosh”, he cried out in pain.
Ji Guomin looked at the girl who had suddenly appeared in front of him. The girl’s looks were not ordinary, but her eyes were cold and hard, giving off a terrifying chill.
A person had suddenly barged into his house out of nowhere. Ji Guomin was stunned as he said, “You, you, you… Who are you?! Why are you in my house?!”
Jiang Yu stared at him coldly.
Ji Guomin looked at the uniform on Jiang Yu’s body that was identical to Ji Churan’s and immediately understood.
“I know, you’re this b*tch’s classmate! You actually followed her home? What’s wrong? Can’t stand to watch? You want to teach me a lesson?”
Ji Guomin pointed at her and said, “I’m telling you, this is our family’s business, you should butt out! So what if I hit my daughter? She’s my child, I can do whatever I want to her, how do you expect to control me?”
“Give me back my belt!”
Ji Guomin reached out his hand to snatch the belt from Jiang Yu’s hands, but Jiang Yu’s lips curled into a cold smile.
She lifted the belt in her hand and whipped it onto Ji Guomin’s body!
Ji Guomin cried out in pain. Why did it hurt so much when the belt was slapped onto his body?
He jumped up from the ground and held onto his arm as he screamed, “You, you, you… You actually dared to hit me? You b*tch, get out of my house! Otherwise, I will beat you up and make you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!”
Jiang Yu did not say another word as she gave Ji Guomin a second slap!
This time, the slap landed on Ji Guomin’s leg, causing his knees to buckle and he immediately knelt down!
Ji Guomin’s curses became even more unpleasant, “You b*tch, have both your parents died? You lack manners, it’s obvious that no one is disciplining you. Did you run away from an orphanage?”
“If I had a daughter like you, I would immediately throw her onto the road to avoid wasting my family’s food!”
Jiang Yu didn’t want to waste her breath on such a person. She flipped her wrist and wrapped the belt around Ji Guomin’s neck!
At the same time, Ji Churan, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn’t take it anymore and shouted, “Enough!”
It was fine if this man berated her but how could he berate her friend?
Her Xiao Yu’er was such a good person, how could he say such dirty words about her?
After hearing his words, she felt ashamed!
“You actually dare to rebel…”
Ji Guomin couldn’t say the rest of his words because Jiang Yu tightened the belt around his neck.
The girl’s face was ice-cold. She looked at him as if she was looking at a dead person.
Ji Guomin’s face turned red from being strangled and he gradually couldn’t breathe.
The air gradually became scarce and he finally felt a little scared.
Jiang Yu’s eyes did nothing to hide the killing intent it carried. It was as if she was declaring that she wanted to kill him for real.
“Xiao Yu’er, let go!” Ji Churan urged Jiang Yu.
She shook her head, a pained expression on her face.
Jiang Yu tugged at the belt and it left Ji Guomin’s neck. As he panted heavily, he sounded like a fish that was about to dry up.
“Xiao Yu’er, why are you here?”
As she looked at Jiang Yu, Ji Churan didn’t know what to say.
Her hair was a mess as she said awkwardly, “I’m sorry, my house is a little messy, please don’t mind it. Why don’t we go out for a walk…”
Jiang Yu knew that Ji Churan wanted to get her away but as soon as she finished speaking, a woman appeared at the door. She asked in surprise, “Who are you? Are you… Ran Ran’s friend?”
