"Yes." "She and I grew up together."

"Do you like her?" I said, "If. If my existence causes trouble for you guys … "

How despicable my words are.

Zhou Jin looked at me and smiled. "Being moved is not love. I am not pure and flawless."

I hung my head and smiled.

"I'll take you to the studio tomorrow." Zhou Jin said before he left.

"Alright."

That night, Xie Zongming was still angry and I didn't want to bother with him.

We were still sleeping separately, and I already had no way of accepting Xie Zongming's soft skin and the rancid smell that only middle-aged men would have.

Unfortunately, just as I fell asleep, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong, dong, dong!" The sound was getting louder and louder, and all of a sudden, the fire started burning in my heart.

I got out of bed, put on my shawl, and went to open the door.

The huge knock on the door made my heart tremble, but Xie Zongming's room was still very quiet.

I smiled to myself, knowing full well that he was pretending to be asleep.

"Who is it?" I asked, standing by the door in a bad mood. I decided to call the police if I was disturbed because of boredom.

"Ah Ying, it's me." It was quiet outside for a while before a sobbing voice sounded.

The person who stood outside the door was Li Jie.

I immediately opened the door, thinking, What is she doing here so late?

Li Jie stood at the door, looking extremely miserable. Her long hair was loose, covering her face, and she was wearing a pair of slippers.

She looked up at me with a look that made me feel a little flustered.

At the same time, I saw her face under her hair. She had been beaten, and her face was covered with red handprints.

"Ah Ying..." She hugged me, and the tears soaked my shoulders, and I suddenly felt a little sick of it. I tried to get rid of it, and patted her gently on the shoulder to comfort her.

When Li Jie's mood stabilized a little, I helped her sit on the sofa. Right at this moment, the tightly shut bedroom door finally opened, and Xie Zongming walked out with a confused look while stroking his messy hair.

Don't pretend. I silently cursed in my heart.

"Li Jie, why are you here?" Xie Zongming immediately saw Li Jie wiping her tears on the sofa.

After hearing Xie Zongming's words, Li Jie glanced at Xie Zongming and me with hazy tears in his eyes.

I turned my head and glared at Xie Zongming, unwilling to be interrogated by him.

However, Li Jie is really good-looking, not to mention man, even I, who am a woman, want to protect her when I see her earlier.

"Zheng Xin hit me!" Li Jie clenched her teeth and said. Her eyes were red, making her look even better.

"Why?" I asked her.

I thought back to what Zheng Xin had told me before, that he really hated Li Jie, but I thought that as long as Li Jie didn't cross his bottom line, he would still be willing to serve Li Jie at home, giving her the honor of a proper wife. After all, Li Jie had already given him two children, and she even had one in her stomach.

I almost laughed at the thought.

Main house? Decent?

"He brought a woman back. I said a few words to him and he got angry." When Li Jie said till here, she glanced at me, "I said, I have already become a wife, so I should be able to do it.

That did not sound like what Li Jie was saying at all.

"Who taught you that?" I asked her. I didn't sound so good.

Li Jie looked at me, and even forgot to cry.

"I asked her to." Xie Zongming suddenly interrupted.

I looked up at him, and only now did I realize that Xie Zongming's eyes had actually turned red.

How could you care so much about her?

This white moonlight is what you care so much about.

"Why do you want her to say that?" I asked Xie Zongming, my tone light.

Xie Zongming was suddenly at a loss. He did not dare to look into my eyes, as he had just recalled that he was in the stage of committing an act to beg forgiveness.

"Don't blame him." Li Jie interrupted, "It was the other day that you all came to visit me. I was working in the kitchen with Lao Xie, and I couldn't help but say that he wanted to help me for my sake."

I stopped looking at Xie Zongming and turned to grab onto Li Jie's wrist, earnestly saying, "Li Jie, we have known each other for almost ten years. Even if you don't believe me and aren't willing to do as I say, you have to consider my words carefully."

Li Jie looked up at me.

"You need to get your position straight." I said softly, "Think about it, why did you marry Zheng Xin? Weren't you married to him in order to walk out of the mountains and live a good life for yourself and your family? You don't want love, you don't want loyalty, you want money. "

Li Jie listened to what I said, a glimmer flashed past her eyes. I know what I said was not nice to listen to, but these are all sincere words, if Li Jie continues to mess with Zheng Xin like this, she will get nothing.

After all, their marriage was just a matter of money exchange. If Zheng Xin gave her the money, it would count as fulfilling her obligations, but Li Jie only needed to be a good wife.

Xie Zongming listened to what I said, and his face became more and more unsightly.

"On what basis?" Li Jie's voice suddenly became louder, "Why is my life so bitter, why can some people have anything, why don't I have anything."

I patted her on the back to comfort her and whispered, "There is no fairness in this world. You can only grab onto what you have in your hands. If you are not careful, then whatever you have obtained with great difficulty will quickly escape."

Li Jie looked up at me. She leaned on the sofa as if she was exhausted.

"Did Zheng Xin call you?" I asked.

Li Jie shook her head, she looked to be extremely helpless.

"I'll go beat him up." Xie Zongming suddenly said, "Let's have a good talk with him."

I swept a glance at him, and he immediately shut his mouth. The gaze he used to look at Li Jie was still filled with pity.

"Li Jie, sleep in the main bedroom today." I said, "Let Xie Zongming sleep on the sofa."

Li Jie nodded.

"I'll send you back tomorrow." "Don't be willful."

I finished applying the medicine on the wound on Li Jie's face and supported her into the bedroom.

I could feel that Xie Zongming had been watching us from behind, or more accurately speaking, he was looking at Li Jie.

I closed the master bedroom door, and let Li Jie properly lie on the bed, and cover her with a blanket.

She was very obedient. She just looked at me in silence. I didn't know what she was thinking.

I turned off the overhead light and was about to leave the room, but just as I was about to grab the door handle, Li Jie's voice came from behind me.

"Ah Ying..." Li Jie's voice sounded very weak, and it startled me when it suddenly sounded out in this room.
