CHAPTER 322: CHAPTER 295: THE ADULT WORLD IS REALLY STRANGE

Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian didn’t go far, so Ji Xiaoxiao saw them when she came out.

Upon hearing the sound, Qiao Yuxian turned around and saw Ji Xiaoxiao ask, "Where are you going?"

"Going home." Ji Xiaoxiao lowered her head to tidy her hair.

Qiao Yuxian looked at her dirty clothes and said, "You’re going back like this?"

Ji Xiaoxiao looked at herself and remained silent.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Let’s go to the East Courtyard first."

Ji Xiaoxiao paused for a moment and then looked towards Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing looked at Qiao Yuxian and said, "Let’s go."

Qiao Yuxian held onto Ji Xiaoxiao’s wrist and pulled her forward.

Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Thank you."

Qiao Yuxian chuckled and said, "It’s really rare to hear you thank me."

"I’m thanking Mr. Gu." Ji Xiaoxiao said.

"Alright, alright." Qiao Yuxian said, "Didn’t expect you to say anything nice to me anyway."

Ji Xiaoxiao let out a light hum.

Qiao Yuxian didn’t say anything further.

The two walked ahead, Gu Yanjing slowly followed behind them.

They arrived at the East Courtyard.

As they stepped into the living room, Qiao Zhiang rushed over directly, but when he got close and saw Ji Xiaoxiao, he was startled.

He looked at Ji Xiaoxiao’s smudged makeup and her red and swollen eyes, then looked at Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian gave him a wink.

Qiao Zhiang immediately stepped forward and took Ji Xiaoxiao’s hand, saying, "Sister Ji, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Ji Xiaoxiao looked at Qiao Zhiang’s small hand, her expression paused, her fingers wanting to bend around his but eventually did not.

After being startled, once he recognized her, Qiao Zhiang was no longer afraid. "Sister Ji, I have candy over there, it’s delicious. Come, I’ll take you to get some, eating one will make you feel much better."

As he spoke, he tugged Ji Xiaoxiao into the living room.

Qiao Yuxian stood at the door watching Qiao Zhiang’s little figure, and said to Gu Yanjing, "Look at my Zhiang, he’s simply a little angel."

"An angel who doesn’t like doing homework," Gu Yanjing said flatly.

Qiao Yuxian turned to look at Gu Yanjing, her eyebrows almost standing up.

Gu Yanjing patted her on the head.

Qiao Yuxian snorted proudly, leaving him outside the living room as she went in.

Qiao Zhiang gave Ji Xiaoxiao a packet of candy.

Once Ji Xiaoxiao received the candy, she went upstairs with Qiao Yuxian.

She first washed her face, then Qiao Yuxian took her to the wardrobe room to pick out some clothes to wear.

Ji Xiaoxiao looked at clothes in the wardrobe room for a long time, then said, "There’s nothing in my size."

Qiao Yuxian stared at her, paused slightly, and said, "This is my wardrobe room, of course, there’s nothing in your size."

Ji Xiaoxiao pouted, "Well, without my size, I’ll be wearing something that doesn’t fit."

Qiao Yuxian looked at her, "Are you going to wear it or not?"

Ji Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, very unhappy, looked at her for a while, then reluctantly said, "Okay."

She rummaged through the closet for clothes, saying as she did, "Maybe you should lose some weight, the clothes are all too big for me."

"My figure is just right, okay?" Qiao Yuxian said, "I’m even below the standard weight."

Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at her.

Indeed.

Qiao Yuxian had a very good figure, her legs were long and slim, also very straight, her waistline was beautiful too. Everything was balanced, the body proportions almost perfect.

Though the legs and waist were slim, but not overly so, which could be somewhat unhealthy skinny.

It was just-right slim from a proportional perspective.

Qiao Yuxian said, "I don’t need to be on camera, I’m just right like this. If I lose weight, I’m afraid I’ll lose my bust first."

Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at hers: "......"

"You have camera needs, can’t be helped." Qiao Yuxian said.

Ji Xiaoxiao quietly picked out clothes.

Qiao Yuxian leaned against the door watching her, and after a while, she asked, "Did Gu Yicheng hit you?"

Ji Xiaoxiao said, "No."

"Really?" Qiao Yuxian said, "He’s the sort to hit again and again."

"Really not." Ji Xiaoxiao said, "I just got too emotional and hit him. Then I pushed him, but instead of moving him, I pushed myself back a few steps and knocked over the shelves behind me."

Qiao Yuxian: "......"

Ji Xiaoxiao continued, "He saw me staying on the ground and not getting up, so he came over to pull me up. He pulled me forward some distance, and that’s when you all arrived."

Gu Yicheng’s strength was awkward, as he dragged the sitting Ji Xiaoxiao a distance forward.

His force coupled with Ji Xiaoxiao’s messy, dirty appearance at the time.

Looked very much like Gu Yicheng was hitting Ji Xiaoxiao.

So Qiao Yuxian thought she had been beaten.

"Last time at the hospital you saw the bruises on my arm, it wasn’t him who hit me," Ji Xiaoxiao said, "It was his woman from outside who came home, and I fought with her."

Qiao Yuxian frowned slightly.

Ji Xiaoxiao finally picked out an outfit, she looked at Qiao Yuxian and quickly explained, "I didn’t suffer, okay. That woman has more injuries on her, I just got my arm bumped a couple times."

Qiao Yuxian said nothing.

Ji Xiaoxiao also remained silent for a while and then said, "I know I shouldn’t have made a fuss here, especially when the old man is sick. But I felt so disgusted. I saw his chat records. Saw one where the time showed he went out to sleep with that woman first, came home and then with me... Now just thinking about it makes me want to vomit."

Qiao Yuxian leaned against the door and said faintly, "There’s no should or shouldn’t. He dares to do such shameless things without caring about his own family’s feelings and expects others to consider the time and place for his dignity, who does he think he is."

Ji Xiaoxiao said nothing, and after a while, she asked again, "Why did you guys go to the North Courtyard?"

"You called me." Qiao Yuxian said.

"Huh?" Ji Xiaoxiao quickly took out her phone, checked the call record, and sure enough, she did call.

The phone had been in her pocket, she didn’t know at all.

"Such a coincidence, just happened to call you." Ji Xiaoxiao said.

"Who says." Qiao Yuxian said, "I just happened to be strolling in the backyard."

Ji Xiaoxiao felt a bit amazed.

Qiao Yuxian said, "What are you planning to do?"

"I don’t know. I want to go home and be quiet." Ji Xiaoxiao asked again, "If you encountered something like this, what would you do."

"Castrate him, then divorce." Qiao Yuxian said simply and bluntly.

Outside the door, Gu Yanjing, who had just accidentally overheard their conversation, had a darkened expression.

Not believing him was one thing, but being so ruthless.

Following behind him, Little Zhiang looked at the half-opened door and then followed Gu Yanjing towards the study. After a while, he asked, "Was my sister talking about you?"

Gu Yanjing paused in his steps and lowered his head to look at him.

Qiao Zhiang strained to look up at him, his big eyes blinking, full of innocence.

Seeing Gu Yanjing’s cold face, not speaking, he pursed his lips and thought for a moment, "I saw on TV that those who castrate themselves are in a lot of pain, being castrated must be painful too."

Mr. Gu’s face darkened even more, he directly grabbed Little Zhiang by the back of his clothes and carried him to the study.

"Ah." Qiao Zhiang felt he was angry, let out a small cry, and dared not make a sound.

Letting him carry him into the study.

After all, he didn’t have to walk by himself.

Just being carried along while thinking.

Was kindly reminding him it would hurt.

Why was he mad.

The world of adults is really strange.
