"Mm, I'm okay. What's the matter?" I replied.
"Liar, you're not good at all. I heard from the driver that you're going against the Zhao family, and you even want to have a life and death battle. It's all because of that Little Cherry." Liu Jie seemed to feel wronged.
"Oh, what? Are you going to hit me when I'm down?"
I was a bit embarrassed, and I didn't know how to face her. In all fairness, Liu Jie wasn't wrong. Tu Fangfang had purposely edited the conversation to make me sound like a greedy, despicable person. Moreover, Little Cherry's sudden appearance made Liu Jie feel like she was a rival in love. She was angry and stood on Liu Zhanpeng's side.
She wasn't the only one who was depressed. I was also depressed. It was all because of Liu Zhanpeng's old stupidity. Tu Fangfang was a vicious woman, but in his eyes, she became a gentle and considerate woman, a partner he could spend his life with.
"Wuwu, Brother Xiao Feng, are you still angry at me? (heartbroken)" Liu Jie sent another message, adding a heartbroken emoticon.
"No, you live your Ms. Perfect life, and I live my life as a loser. We don't match, so it's hard for us to go to the end." I felt a bit self-deprecating.
"Pfft, and you say you're not angry? Am I that annoying?
(heartbroken) "Seeing this message, I didn't know what to do. Actually, we were in different positions. I had always felt guilty. After all, Liu Jie ignored her father's objection and dated me. She even became my woman out of nowhere. But Tu Fangfang made things difficult for me and made my ugly side even more obvious.
In this world, there is no perfect person, and I am no exception. As a child from the countryside, it is understandable that I couldn't resist the beauty that came knocking on my door. However, this matter is my fault. Now that she is coaxing me, it is indeed a bit petty.
I didn't reply for a long time. Suddenly, my phone vibrated. Liu Jie had sent me a video call. I was afraid that I would wake up sister-in-law, so I rejected it instinctively.
"Answer it, Brother Xiao Feng!" Soon, Liu Jie sent me a message.
I hesitated for a moment, then tiptoed into the bathroom and accepted the video call.
"Cough, what's wrong?"
I felt like we had become estranged after this conflict. Subconsciously, I moved the camera so that Liu Jie could only see the ceiling.
"Wow, Brother Xiao Feng, you bastard, I missed you so much, but you deliberately didn't let me see you."
After not seeing her for a few days, Liu Jie's face was pale. Her red and swollen eyes were even more obvious under her dark circles.
"Uh, everything's fine, why are you crying," I wasn't a cold-blooded animal, seeing Liu Jie's haggard appearance, I didn't have the heart to say harsh words.
"I want to see you. If you don't let me see you, I'll just keep crying. You won't feel bad anyway. I'll just cry myself to death." Liu Jie pouted and said pitifully.
Originally, I was still a bit angry, but seeing her like this, my heart instantly melted. "How can I not feel bad? If you cry again, I will hang up."
I felt like I was a bad person. Liu Jie relied on me so much, but I still had to scare her. Sure enough, after hearing my threat, Liu Jie stopped crying and sniffled. Her pitiful expression was really cute.
"All right, Brother Xiao Feng, I won't cry anymore. Don't hang up. I really want to see you." Liu Jie pursed her lips, trying to suppress her emotions.
I adjusted the front camera. As soon as she saw me, Liu Jie couldn't help but feel smug.
After chatting for a while, I found out that Liu Jie had been trapped at home recently. Her father asked someone he knew to help arrange a school in the province, but it would take some time. To prevent Liu Jie from meeting me, they confiscated Liu Jie's phone and cut off the internet at home. She was like a prisoner, unable to contact me. When she heard the driver say that I was in big trouble, she became even more anxious. She even knelt down and begged the driver to let her use his phone.
The driver was also in a difficult situation because Tu Fangfang had warned him many times not to help Liu Jie. However, out of kindness, he still secretly lent his phone to Liu Jie. That way, he could contact me.
Liu Jie said that she was confused at that time and stood on Liu Zhanpeng's side. When she got home, she found out that everything had changed. According to the driver, Tu Fangfang had already entered Zhanpeng Corporation and became the general manager. She had always been secretly trying to obtain shares.
These words shouldn't have been said. The driver had worked in the Liu family for ten to twenty years. Seeing the family decline with his own eyes, he didn't feel good. However, he didn't dare to say it to Liu Zhanpeng. He didn't want to be bitten in the back. Liu Zhanpeng was now obsessed with lust, to the point that he couldn't listen to honest advice. As the saying goes, honest advice is unpleasant to the ear.
Liu Jie finally understood what kind of person Tu Fangfang was. Moreover, she had tested and found out that she was pregnant with Liu Zhanpeng's flesh and blood. Originally, when Liu Zhanpeng was young, he was busy working hard in the business world. He only had Liu Jie when he was in his early thirties. Now that he was over fifty years old, it could be said that he had a child in his old age. This kind of joy was undeniable.
He even believed that Tu Fangfang was a gift from God. In Zhanpeng Corporation, whoever dared to say bad things about Tu Fangfang would definitely be fired. Liu Jie realized the seriousness of the situation. She didn't hesitate to lower her voice and beg the driver. Her voice was full of helplessness.
"Brother Xiao Feng, I beg you. You must help me. This morning, I said in front of my dad that Tu Fangfang is a vixen. He actually slapped me and scolded me for not knowing what's good for me. Look, there are still marks. He never did this before."
Liu Jie held the phone and brought it close to her face. As expected, there were bright red finger marks. It wasn't hard to imagine how much strength Liu Zhanpeng had used to slap her face.
"F * ck, is he blind? He used to call me his precious daughter, but now he has a son. How did he become like this?!" I clenched my fists. I was so angry that I was shivering.
"Wahhh."
Liu Jie cried again. Her tears were like a broken string of pearls. Her tear-stained face revealed a strong sense of weakness, which made people want to pity her.
"Sweetheart, don't cry. Look at me, my heart warms. No matter what happens, I will protect you unconditionally. However, I can't do anything about your dad. You know that he said that if I dare to touch Tu Fangfang, he will find someone to sue me."
To be honest, in the current situation, I couldn't do anything. I could rush to Zhanpeng Corporation and beat Tu Fangfang up. I could even make her miscarry. However, that wouldn't solve the root of the problem. Instead, it would deepen the conflict between me and Liu Zhanpeng.
In the future, even if we were to talk about marriage, if Liu Zhanpeng didn't attend the wedding, he would be laughed at. Moreover, it would be an irreparable regret for Liu Jie.
"Then, what should we do?" Liu Jie couldn't stop crying. My heart tightened.
