"What's wrong?" I stood by the door and turned to look at her. Li Jie was completely hidden in the shadows, and I couldn't make out her expression.

"Why can't I get it? Why was it that I was looked down upon when I was born? I don't want to put up with my husband's cheating anymore. " Li Jie's voice was very cold, "I'm not reconciled to this."

"Relax." I looked at the shadow and said, "If I were to divorce you and sever all ties to the family that sucked your blood, would you be willing to do so? After that, everything depends on yourself. Can you make up your mind? "

I was met with an unbearable silence.

When I walked out of the room, Xie Zongming was already lying down on the sofa.

I went straight through the living room to the kitchen, drinking lemonade and thinking that I wouldn't be able to go to Zhou Jin's house again tomorrow.

I really want to see Zhou Jin's studio.

"Can we help her?" Just as I was deep in thought, I suddenly heard Xie Zongming's voice.

"What?" I took the cup out of the kitchen and saw Xie Zongming sitting upright on the sofa with his back facing me. Moonlight shone on him, making me feel that he was a little different from usual.

"How?"

"Divorce her from her current husband. She's a good woman. She shouldn't be living like this." Xie Zongming's tone was filled with pity.

"Then what about her child? Her whole family depends on you? " I ridiculed, "Xie Zongming …" I swallowed the more unpleasant words.

"Why are you …" Xie Zongming turned his head to look at me, with a cold and heartless expression, as if he was not human at all, "How could you bear to let your friend live like this, that Zheng Xin bastard actually dared to hit me."

"What kind of life?" "She lives in a villa and goes out and has a nanny driver and everything but her husband's love. What about me?"

Xie Zongming didn't speak. It was obvious that he had thought of something bad.

"One shouldn't be too greedy. Even if one wants a good life, one still wants someone to love them." I said as I placed the cup on the tea table, "Xie Zongming, I'm warning you, you can sympathize with Li Jie, but if I find out that you're taking my money to urge her to get divorced, you know what I would do."

Xie Zongming stared at me, a trace of humiliation and anger flashing past his eyes, but he held it in.

"I'm warning you, don't get too carried away." I turned and walked back to the guest room. "There's a limit to my patience."

Whatever you take from me, I want it all back. I added mentally.

Lying in bed, I felt like I was in the dirtiest place. Luckily, Zhou Jin was by my side.

In fact, my current situation is even worse than Li Jie's, it's just that I'm stronger than her.

In the dark, I dialed Zhou Jin's number. The phone was immediately connected, and Zhou Jin's voice came through the receiver.

"Xia Ying..." Zhou Jin's tone was very gentle.

I closed my eyes and listened to his voice. I imagined him beside me.

"I miss you." "No," I said, my voice soft as a whisper.

Zhou Jin did not say anything, just quietly listened.

"Sorry, there's no way to go to your studio tomorrow." I said, "I have some business at the moment."

Only after a long time did Zhou Jin's voice, along with the sound of the waves, come through the receiver.

"Yes." He replied softly.

Neither of us spoke after that. He was a bad talker, and I didn't know what to say, just that he was on the other side of the phone, that he was there for me, that I was satisfied.

"I miss you." I repeated it, then hung up.

Early the next morning, while I was still asleep, I heard sounds coming from outside.

I donned my jacket and walked out of the room, and realised that Li Jie had actually woken up early.

She was wearing my clothes, wearing an apron and holding a spatula in her hand. Her long hair was tied loosely behind her head. Her eyes were still a little red.

A beauty is indeed a beauty.

"Why are you up so early?" I asked Li Jie with a smile.

"I'm used to it. I can't fall asleep no matter what, so I might as well get up and do something." Li Jie smiled gently.

"Is that so?" I said, "Rest, I will do it when Xie Zongming gets up."

After hearing my words, Li Jie thoughtfully asked me, "Is it all Xie Zongming's fault for cooking?"

"Lately." I sat at the kitchen table and watched her.

"You're not afraid your husband will run away." Li Jie jokingly said, "Our hometown says that men have no future in the kitchen, Xie Zongming didn't do anything when he was at home previously, he only needs to study, but after marrying you, he knows everything, it seems that he really loves you."

I looked at Li Jie, and her tone was filled with envy.

I don't know how to reply to Li Jie.

Her words revealed the meaning that it was natural for a woman to go to the kitchen, as though Xie Zongming cooking for me was a great gift.

He, Xie Zongming, was not an emperor.

I smiled and said, "Sit down, let Xie Zongming love you well too."

Li Jie laughed and rebuked, "What are you talking about?"

"I'll send you home today." I suddenly said, "Zheng Xin is ruthless, he doesn't lack people who want to be Lady Zheng, don't be willful."

After Li Jie heard my words, her smile immediately collapsed. She looked at me as if I had bullied her, bit her lips and said, "Can't I stay here for two days? That's how you want to get rid of me. "

I looked at her, took a deep breath, and said, "You still don't understand why I've made it so clear."

"What's wrong with all of you now?" Xie Zongming came out of the room and stood in the middle of us as he asked.

"Nothing." I turned around and sat on the sofa. I didn't want to argue with Li Jie anymore.

A smile appeared on Li Jie's face as she said, "Eat your food, I made rice porridge and fried egg roll. Old Xie, I remember that you love eating lard fried tofu the most."

"Yes, thank you." Xie Zongming scratched the hair on the back of his head and said, "Aren't you pregnant? "There's no need to do this."

"Ah Ying, eat." Li Jie said timidly. Her voice that sounded like a rabbit really made me angry, as if I had bullied her.

"Okay, thank you." Xie Zongming and I sat on one side of the table while Li Jie sat on the other.

She cooked very well.

If she hadn't married Zheng Xin, the rich second generation, she would probably be very happy.

Unfortunately, there was no such thing as' if '.

"I'll go home later." Li Jie suddenly said from the table.

"Yes." "Yes," I said.

On the other hand, Xie Zongming was in a hurry to prove his loyalty. "Li Jie, you don't need to be in a hurry to return.

Li Jie shook her head, her face revealing a weak smile.

After dinner, Xie Zongming and I will drive Li Jie home. She sits on the back of the car quietly, like a fish.

"Thank you for taking me in." Li Jie said as she stood at the entrance of the villa. The gentle wind blew through her long hair, making me feel that she had become a little different.

"It doesn't matter." "No," I said.

"Next time Zheng Xin bullies you, come to my house." Xie Zongming said.

Li Jie faintly smiled after hearing what Xie Zongming said.

"You may leave." Li Jie said, "I... "It's okay."

"Alright."

Xie Zongming and I drove back home. After driving for a long distance, I had a feeling that Li Jie had not left yet.

She stood in the doorway, watching us from afar, her eyes heavy.

"Can't you be nicer to her?" After pondering for a while, Xie Zongming suddenly spoke up.
