Chapter 133: As a Woman, I Feel Ashamed of You
She walked to Yan Xia’s side and her cold eyes swept across Ji Guomin, before finally landing on Tong Manyun.
Her eyes were emotionless and her words were equally as cold, “As a woman, I feel ashamed of you.”
Ji Guomin was indeed a shameful thing, but Tong Manyun was not much better.
“You have a wound on your neck. It must be a result of this man’s abuse, right?”
Tong Manyun subconsciously covered her neck. “I…”
Ji Guomin looked at her fiercely.
Tong Manyun quickly denied, “No, no. I accidentally bumped into something. It has nothing to do with my husband.”
Her daughter had already given up her husband. Of course, she couldn’t produce herself as another witness!
Jiang Yu remained expressionless as if she had already guessed how Tong Manyun would react.
“You were once a victim of domestic violence but now you want to be an accomplice to it. You’ve suffered the same pain yourself, yet you insist on forcing your daughter to accept it. You can’t resist it, so you decide to do your own share of abuse instead.”
“Do you have a heart? Are you worthy of being someone’s mother?”
“When it comes to domestic violence, there is either none of it or an unfathomable amount. He’s not hitting you now because he favors the one in your stomach, not you. You have your own hands and feet but you want to be this man’s slave. Shameful.”
As she said the last sentence, Jiang Yu’s eyes were filled with disgust.
She turned to Yan Xia and said, “Aren’t you going to take him away? What are you waiting for? The New Year?”
The young man behind Yan Xia was already moving to detain Ji Guomin. Tong Manyun was a little confused by Jiang Yu’s words but when she saw Ji Guomin being handcuffed, she immediately became emotional.
“No! Officer! This can’t be! If he’s taken away, what will I do?!”
Tong Manyun shouted, “I don’t have a job! If he goes to jail and doesn’t go to work, the company will definitely find out! If the company finds out that he has this on his record, they will definitely fire him and then he won’t have a job!”
“Without a job, how can he support us, mother and son?! What will I do then? I will not be able to stay alive! I will starve to death at home!”
As Tong Manyun threw herself at him, Yan Xia was concerned because she was pregnant. He even moved aside to avoid touching her stomach.
As a result, Tong Manyun grew even more fearless. She deliberately bumped into Yan Xia because she knew that he didn’t dare touch her.
“If you want to take him away, then take me with you! We can go to jail together. That should be enough, right? Will you be satisfied then, Ran Ran?”
She still wanted to drag Ji Churan through the mud even at this moment.
“Ran Ran, I know that you hate us in your heart. Now that we are going to be taken away by the police together, are you happy? Becoming an orphan, you got what you wanted, right?”
Ji Churan clenched her fists and said slowly, word by word, “With parents like you, I would rather be an orphan.”
Ji Guomin said, “Listen to what she said. We gave birth to her and raised her, and we’re at fault? She’s saying we shouldn’t have given her clothes, food, shelter? She’s so heartless, and you lot are not doing anything about it? You only know how to bully honest people like us?”
The voices of these two people were extremely loud and the door was wide open. Slowly, a crowd of people came to watch the show.
Watching a crowd gather, Ji Guomin became arrogant again, “Everyone, come and take a look. My daughter wants to sue me! I gave birth to her and raised her. I gave her a life and wants to lock me away in jail! I raised an ingrate! In the future, you guys have to be careful too. Maybe one day, the child you raised will bite you back!”
Chapter 134: Severing All Ties
Tong Manyun clutched her stomach and cried loudly, “Ran Ran, you are so cruel! We are your parents, how can you treat us like this?!”
“Can’t we solve our own family problems properly behind closed doors? Why do we have to involve the police? We didn’t short-change your clothes, didn’t short-change your residence, and even provided you with an education. Did we do anything wrong? You just want to make other people think that our family is a joke!”
“Ahhh…” Her face looked pained. “My stomach hurts so much. Ah, my baby. I can’t breathe. Doctor… Doctor…”
Yan Xia was having a headache because of the two of them. However, the other party was a pregnant woman. He couldn’t afford something really happening to her.
The young policeman asked in a low voice, “Brother Yan, what should we do now?”
Jiang Yu crossed her arms and looked at Yan Xia coldly as if she was saying, ‘Useless, you can’t even handle such a small thing’.
She walked over and grabbed Tong Manyun’s wrist. “Your body’s just fine. Why are you pretending?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?! Do you know anything about medicine?”
“Then call 120 and go to the hospital for a checkup. No one is obligated to pay for your medical expenses anyway.” Jiang Yu took out her phone and looked at her coldly. “Do you want to call?”
“No, no, no!” Tong Manyun reached out to stop her. Seeing Jiang Yu’s half-smile, she knew that she had been tricked, so she tried to cover it up. “I… I’m a little better now. I don’t need to go to the hospital anymore…”
Ji Churan sighed.
She couldn’t bear to watch this charade any longer.
“Alright. Since so many people are here today, please bear witness for me.”
Ji Churan said slowly, “My father abuses me and my mother supports him. In your eyes, this may not mean anything, but I can’t accept it.”
“Fine, you’re my parents. I can’t be ‘unfilial’ and sue you. Instead, from today onwards, I am severing all ties with you. I will never set foot in this house again, and please, I beg that you never look for me!”
Jiang Yu had already protected her so much. She had to be brave for once.
“Hmph, you wretched girl! At least you still have a conscience!” Ji Guomin raised his chin. “Officer, did you hear that? She said she won’t sue me. Why aren’t you letting me go?”
Although Yan Xia was unwilling, he still got someone to remove the handcuffs.
Ji Guomin rolled his eyes and said shamelessly, “Alright, since you want to leave, we won’t stop you. All the things in the house, we bought them for you. You can’t take anything!”
Ji Churan agreed without thinking. “Alright.”
“You’ll pay for all your own school fees in the future. I won’t pay for your school fees anymore!”
Ji Churan retorted, “The school fees were paid for by my own work. What does it have to do with you?”
She pulled on Jiang Yu. “Xiao Yu’er, let’s go.”
“Wait, you can’t Leave!” Ji Guomin shouted. “She broke my door and hasn’t paid for it yet!”
“300 yuan, is that enough?”
Ji Churan took out 300 yuan from her wallet, threw it on the ground, and without a second look, she walked away.
Jiang Yu followed behind. Before she left, she looked back at Ji Guomin and said coldly, “If you dare cause trouble for her in the future, well, you’re free to try.”
Her tone was full of threat. As Ji Guomin shouted, “Officer, look at her threatening me!”, she put her hands in her pockets and left.
Ji Churan and Jiang Yu walked for a while without saying anything. When they left the neighborhood, she realized that Jiang Zeyu and his friend were standing at the entrance of the neighborhood.
“I called them here.”
Jiang Yu said calmly, “Let’s go look for a home.”
Chapter 135: Enough for You to Stay Here for Eight Lifetimes
Jiang Yu obviously didn’t know much about finding an apartment, that’s why she had called Jiang Zeyu over.
After Jiang Zeyu had found out about Jiang Yu’s intentions, he had dragged Song Bi over with him. After all, there was nothing wrong with having an extra errand boy.
Although he didn’t know why Ji Churan suddenly wanted to move out, on top of that she was empty-handed, Jiang Zeyu was tactful enough not to ask as to respect the other party’s privacy.
Hadn’t he moved out of his house and was living alone as well? Every family had their own problems, so it was understandable.
As a second-generation rich kid, the houses that Jiang Zeyu chose were all nicely decorated and had a good vibe. Of course, the rent would be a little more expensive then.
Ji Churan was a little hesitant. She definitely couldn’t afford to pay for such places. Just as she was about to tell Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu pat her head and said, “It’s okay. You can stay as long as you like. I have money.”
Ji Churan: “But I can’t spend your money…”
Jiang Yu: “Then I’ll transfer it to you. It’ll be your money.”
Ji Churan: “…”
She still didn’t think it was a good idea. “No matter what, your family gave you that money. It’s not appropriate for you to spend it on me…”
Jiang Yu shook her head. “It’s not from my family. I earned it myself. This isn't a big deal.”
After some thought, she asked, “How much is the monthly rent here?”
Song Bi: “3,000.”
Jiang Yu did some rough calculations. “Oh, that’s fine. I have enough for you to stay here for eight lifetimes.”
Everyone: “…”
Jiang Zeyu and Song Bi weren’t very good at math. They racked their brains for a long time. Eight lifetimes… How much was that? How many zeros would follow?
Jiang Zeyu knew the amount of pocket money Jiang Chenglang gives. Jiang Yu has only been here for less than a month. How could she have so much money?
He thought that Jiang Yu was deliberately trying to comfort Ji Churan to make her feel at ease.
Indeed, 3,000 yuan a month was nothing to them. It was understandable that his little sister wanted to treat her friend well.
It was just that…
He was just a little jealous.
Jiang Zeyu felt a little jealous, especially when he saw his little sister patting Ji Churan’s head with a gentle gaze.
“Little Sister,” Jiang Zeyu began to make himself felt. “Are you hungry? Do you want me to buy you something to eat?”
Jiang Zeyu was already familiar with the fact that food was the only way to attract Jiang Yu’s attention. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Ji Churan came to a realization and said, “That’s right. It’s so late now. Have you eaten? I’ll make you something to eat later.”
Jiang Zeyu was once again interrupted by Ji Churan.
He pursed his lips and cursed himself for being careless. He had forgotten that Ji Churan had relied on her good cooking skills to successfully win his little sister’s heart.
In this aspect, he couldn’t compete with Ji Churan at all.
Jiang Zeyu pressed his stomach and replied, “… okay.”
To be honest, he was a little hungry.
In the end, Ji Churan could not accept the house.
Jiang Yu didn’t force her. The few of them looked at a couple more houses and finally found one that was a little over a thousand. It was just that it was a little far from school.
After settling down, Ji Churan diligently cleaned the kitchen, bought out some dishes, and prepared a supper to reward them.
It was Song Bi’s first time trying Ji Churan’s cooking and he exclaimed at how delicious it was.
Jiang Yu ate two bowls of rice in one go. After listening to Song Bi’s kiss*ssery, she blinked and suddenly thought of something.
Didn’t someone just give a restaurant…
Thinking about it, if I accepted it, would it come in handy?
