Chapter 43 - Fury

A few days later, Zhou Qi, who had been secretly observing the situation, told Zhou Xing Chen that Liang Jia was almost fully recovered, and that Li Yin was helping her with the discharge procedures.

When Zhou Xing Chen heard Li Yin's words, he felt discontented. With a dark expression, he dialed Liang Jia's number.

"Zhou Xing Chen?" The voice on the other end was clear as a spring, but it couldn't hide its weakness.

"It's me." Zhou Xing Chen wanted to ask how she was, but the words came back to his mouth. "When will you be back?"

The other party was obviously stunned. "Go back to where?"

"Beside me." Zhou Xing Chen said seriously, "You must come back."

Zhou Xing Chen waited for a while, but he didn't hear Liang Jia speak. He only heard her sneer.

"Is it convenient for you and Liang Wenrui to chase me out again?" Liang Jia disdainfully retorted, "Zhou Xing Chen, keeping to your words is not something a person of your age should do."

A surge of nameless fire surged from his heart. "Liang Jia! "Then, do you still want to take back that bracelet?"

"If I don't see you tomorrow," he continued, "I'll destroy it."

"Du du du"

Zhou Xing Chen hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking, and a busy tone came from Liang Jia's phone.

She stood rooted to the spot. She had to get the bracelet back, but she couldn't understand why the one who had said it was all about him, Zhou Xing Chen. Right now, the one who was tangled up with her was still him, Zhou Xing Chen.

Li Yin came to Liang Jia's side. "Sis, the procedures have been completed. Let's go."

"Mm." Liang Jia adjusted her tone. "Little Yin, I need to go to Zhou Xing Chen's company again."

Li Yin frowned. "No."

"Listen to me," Liang Jia urged Li Yin. Although it was a word of negotiation, his tone was unquestionably firm. "The bracelet is the only thing my mother left for me. I can't lose it."

Li Yin looked fixedly at Liang Jia for a long time. Seeing that she was determined, he didn't say anything more. He laughed heartily and said, "I'll accompany you."

She walked into the company's main hall and saw Xia Qin'er's figure. When she saw Liang Jia, she walked over with a smile at the corner of her mouth.

Liang Jia's brow creased. She turned around and was about to reach the elevator when Xia Qin'er called out to her. "Liang Jia."

Liang Jia took a deep breath and a perfect smile appeared on her face. She turned around and asked, "Is something the matter?"

Her smile froze on her face.

Xia Qin'er took out an item from her bag — a bracelet. She waved it and smiled at Liang Jia. "You want this, don't you?"

Liang Jia was taken aback. Zhou Xing Chen had actually given her the bracelet! He clearly knew that this thing was extremely important to him …

Seeing her silence, Xia Qin'er smiled even wider. "The bracelet is indeed pretty, but it's a pity …"

Xia Qin'er lifted the bracelet and viciously threw it onto the ground.

"Don't!" Liang Jia cried out in surprise. The bracelet was broken into a few scattered pieces. Liang Jia knelt beside the broken bracelet as her mind went blank.

The people coming and going looked at her strangely. When Xia Qin'er stood in front of her, she smiled in a complacent and contemptuous manner. She felt incomparably carefree at this moment.

Liang Jia took out a white handkerchief, picked up a piece of the broken bracelet, and wrapped it around herself before putting it into her handbag.

She stood up and raised her eyes, looking at Xia Qin'er without any emotion.

Xia Qin'er's whole body felt uncomfortable from her stare. She frowned and asked, "What do you think?"

Before he could finish his words.

"Pah!" A resounding slap landed on her left cheek. Xia Qin'er was stupefied. She couldn't believe that Liang Jia would do this in front of so many people. She turned around and stared blankly at her.

"Pa — —" Another slap on her face, and Liang Jia's backhand slapped the right side of her face.

"Liang Jia, you're crazy!" Liang Jia grabbed her hand, lifted her face, and coldly said, "The first palm was returned to you in the hospital. The second palm was used to break my bracelet for you."

Liang Jia's eyes were half-lidded. Her aura was domineering, and her eyes were as sharp as knives. For a moment, Xia Qin'er was actually scared.

"Let me tell you, I, Liang Jia, have never had anything to do with the Zhou Family. Instead of scheming against me, why don't you take care of yourself first!"

At this moment, Zhou Xing Chen walked out of the elevator. He hurried down after hearing what Zhou Qi had to say. Liang Jia caught a glimpse of Zhou Xing Chen's figure, and she ruthlessly pushed away Xia Qin'er's hand before running out.

"Liang Jia!" Wait a moment. " Zhou Xing Chen chased after her, but was stopped by Xia Qin'er. She lifted up her tear-stained face, and her cheeks swelled up from Liang Jia's slap. It was truly a pitiful sight to behold.

Xia Qin'er still wanted to say something pitiful, but Zhou Xing Chen merely glanced at her indifferently, then pushed past her and chased after Liang Jia.

Stunned, resentment and confusion intertwined in her heart. Finally, she stomped her foot and went upstairs.

Outside the office, Zhou Xing Chen, who had just chased after Li Yin, saw Liang Jia leap into his arms. He cried bitterly, his shoulders shaking. Li Yin gently embraced her, consoling her by patting her back.

Zhou Xing Chen's face paled, his worry for Liang Jia turning into anger. Very good, Liang Jia actually dares to be so intimate with another man!

Liangjia was escorted into the car by Li Yin. She wiped her tears away as she thought, This was all just for Zhou Xing Chen to see.

She knew that the thing Zhou Xing Chen hated the most was having intimate contact with other men. She wanted to anger him, but since Zhou Xing Chen could hand over his most important possessions to Xia Qin'er, why should she care about his feelings?

However, Liang Jia looked apologetically at Li Yin, who handed her a stack of tissues. She felt slightly sorry for him. After all, he had just used him to …

The next day, she made an appointment with the Hong Kong Jewelry Master, Lin Jia Er, to get rid of her and restore the bracelet to its original state. After all, this was the only thing her birth mother had left for her …

The next day, another piece of news broke out in K City – the wedding between Zhou family's eldest son, Zhou Xingchen, and Xia family's daughter, Xia Qin'er, was going to be held three days later.

Everyone praised him as they discussed the matter. They all said that Zhou Xing Chen treated Xia Qin'er with sincerity.

When the news was broadcast, Liang Jia was in discussion with Lin Jia Er. She was stunned for a moment. Lin Jia Er called out to her a few times before she slowly came back to her senses. She smiled apologetically.

At this moment, a delicate and familiar voice entered her ears, causing Liang Jia to frown — — Seriously, enemies often cross paths.

Xia Qin'er seemed to be sitting at the table behind Liang Jia, her back facing him.

"Thank you. Zhou Xing Chen really loves me, but you know that I married him for something else."

Liang Jia was startled. Could it be that Xia Qin'er's plan to marry Zhou Xing Chen wasn't out of love, but for some other reason? She pursed her lips, her heart filled with unspeakable worry. She didn't know why, but even with Zhou Xing Chen treating her so maliciously, she was still worried for him.

A conditioned reflex, right? Liang Jia gave a self-evident explanation. After all, she had been stuck to Liang Jia's explanation for more than ten years …
