It was really awkward. I didn't know what to do. How was I supposed to explain?
The sister-in-law screamed and rushed into the room, leaving me and Liu Jie alone. She blinked and looked at me. Her eyes were full of doubt, which made me anxious. I really wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
Soon, the sister-in-law came out. She was wearing a long coat, and a large part of her body was gone. Her face was full of anger as she shouted, "Zhuang Feng, why are you here?"
This time, it was my turn to be confused. Shouldn't the sister-in-law be feeling guilty?
How could she be so shameless as to accuse me?
At this moment, I was like a monk scratching my head in confusion.
"I, I …" Facing her questioning, I couldn't help but stammer.
"When you called me this morning, didn't you say that you dropped your key?
How did you get in? "The sister-in-law opened her eyes wide and pinched my ear. Her face was full of doubt and anger.
What dropped my key?
I was stunned for a moment, then reacted. The sister-in-law was echoing each other, and she needed my cooperation. Only by doing so could she justify herself. Otherwise, Liu Jie would think too much.
"Ahem, I met my cousin at noon. He had a spare key, so he gave me one," I explained seriously.
Liu Jie looked like she didn't really understand. The sister-in-law let go of me and scolded, "Aiya, he's so silly. Why didn't he tell me? I thought your cousin came back!"
Then, her face blushed, but I couldn't see anything unusual. Damn, her acting skills were perfect. If the sister-in-law acted in a movie, all the actresses and actresses would have to step aside. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the Oscars would owe her a Golden Man. In comparison, I was much more clumsy. I was afraid that Liu Jie would notice something was wrong.
"Ugh, sister-in-law, don't worry. I was changing my shoes, so I didn't see anything. Xiao Jie can testify to that."
Seeing that Liu Jie didn't say anything, I couldn't help but pat her shoulder. At this moment, if Liu Jie thought too deeply, she might be exposed.
"Pfft, you stupid pig head. Your eyes are green, and you're still changing your shoes? You're so shameless." Liu Jie rolled her eyes at me. She was a bit angry, and her tone was also sour.
I was instantly embarrassed. Luckily, the sister-in-law spoke in time. "Aiya, Xiao Jie, I haven't seen you for a while. You've grown even prettier. Why are you free to come tonight?"
"Sister Meizi, I also made a sudden decision. Will I not be welcomed?"
Liu Jie stuck out her tongue, and her eyes were playful. I also understood that if I said too much, I would make a mistake. I just hoped that Liu Jie wouldn't think too deeply, or else it wouldn't be good. After all, sister-in-law was pregnant. If she seduced me instead of my cousin … It was inevitable that Liu Jie would have a mental breakdown. She didn't understand the grudge between my cousin and sister-in-law, and only saw the surface. If she thought that I had an affair with sister-in-law, to put it bluntly, it would be adultery. Regarding Liu Yuhan's matter, Liu Jie tried her best to be magnanimous and turned a blind eye to it. However, I felt that this kind of relationship that went against morals and ethics was something that Liu Jie wouldn't allow to develop.
"Listen to what you're saying. I can't wait for you to come and play. I haven't seen you for so long, and I thought you and Xiao Feng had a conflict. This child is stubborn, and sometimes he likes to be stubborn. You have to be more tolerant of him," the sister-in-law shook her head and said with a cheeky smile. Then, she held Liu Jie's arm and chatted happily.
After I found out that sister-in-law was pregnant, every move she made, every frown and every smile she made exuded a faint radiance of motherly love. She was gentle and considerate. Liu Jie grew up in a special environment. She didn't have a mother since she was a child, and it was Liu Zhanpeng who raised her. Although Liu Zhanpeng gave Liu Jie a rich life in terms of material things, it was difficult to make up for the delicate motherly love. It wasn't his fault.
The reason why Liu Jie sympathized with Liu Yuhan and even got close to her in the beginning was because of Liu Yuhan's dark childhood. Her experience of being abducted and sold as a child bride was somewhat similar to her past. Liu Jie was kind-hearted, so she got close to her. Her relationship with sister-in-law had always been good.
Now that sister-in-law was a mother, some of the topics they talked about were from Liu Jie's point of view. Liu Jie smiled naturally. It was a kind of happiness that came from the heart. After all, sister-in-law's kindness to Liu Jie wasn't mixed with any benefits. This was very important. It gradually filled Liu Jie's desire for motherly love. Seeing that they were so close to each other, I also secretly let out a sigh of relief.
After returning to my room, I consolidated my cultivation. Now, I was already a master in the Clear-strength stage. Combined with the powerful destructive power of Bajiquan, I could even fight against a master in the late Clear-strength stage. In the morning, when Qu Yihu fought with me, he deliberately let Ying Sha hide in the dark. This proved Ying Sha's concerns.
Ying Sha couldn't determine my depth. In order to be safe, he chose to use a dart to plot against me when I showed a flaw, so I was easily taken advantage of. Fortunately, at the critical moment, I thought of sister-in-law's promise and our child. If I couldn't hold on, it would have led to a tragedy. Fortunately, I broke through at the critical moment. Now that I think about it, I still have a lingering fear. This method had a lot of elements of luck. Sigh, I blame myself for not being strong enough. That's why I was led by the nose.
I had to race against time to further master Bajiquan. Originally, I didn't have a qualified physique. Through collecting Yin to supplement Yang, I was able to practice Bajiquan. With the strength of the Clear-strength stage, I was even more like a fish in water.
This Bajiquan was an intermediate cultivation method. Even Ying Sha was jealous of it. I had only comprehended a small part of its essence. If I studied it further, I would have unexpected gains. As for the first half of Bajiquan, I could already achieve mastery. The next step was to familiarize myself with it and the speed of my punches. This was very important.
When I fought with Ying Sha, I found that I was very passive. In terms of strength, I wasn't at a disadvantage, but in terms of speed, there was no comparison at all. In the end, I used my brute force to make Ying Sha quite afraid. In the end, he didn't fight with me anymore, which could be considered as indirectly admitting defeat.
As the saying goes, when some people are happy, some people are sad. This night, Qu Yihu was destined to be unavoidable. The happiest person was none other than Chief Feng. He had paid a small price to stabilize the Blood Wolf Hall. Even his old rival of many years was shocked.
I practiced for a while, sweating profusely. After that, I went to take a shower. Just as I came out of the bathroom, Sister-in-law came over and greeted me. "Xiao Jie, sleep with me tonight." She said with a smile.
"Ah, that's not good. How about we sleep together?" I lowered my voice. Seeing that Liu Jie was playing on the computer, I teased her.
"In your dreams." Sister-in-law looked at me charmingly, making me feel weak all over.
I dejectedly returned to my room. There were two exquisite beauties next door, but I couldn't do anything to them. This kind of feeling made me want to cry but have no tears.
In the middle of the night, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Just as I felt a little sleepy, I heard a creaking sound. The door was pushed open.
