"How is this good for me? You don't understand me at all. She caused Xiao Pang to die. She's already being merciful by just finding someone to gang rape her. If she had the courage to post it online, I wouldn't mind playing with her to the end. You only know how to pity her. What do you think of me?"
I still had the same attitude. From what I could see, since Liu Jie knew the truth, she should apologize to me and ignore Lin Xiao Ya.
As the saying goes, one is marked by the company one keeps. Liu Jie sympathizing with her was undoubtedly hurting me.
Liu Jie pouted and lightly pulled my arm. "Xiao Feng -ge, you're the best. Apologize to her, okay? Lin Xiao Ya becoming so greedy is partly because of me. Moreover, you won't lose anything if you apologize, right? She'll feel better."
"Even if I apologize to her, she won't have a piece of flesh on her. Moreover, you should be the one apologizing. You slandered Little Cherry just now. Do you know how disappointed I am?" I glared at Liu Jie and pushed her away.
Liu Jie wanted to say something, but sister-in-law quickly came down the stairs. It might be because we made too much noise and disturbed her.
"What are you two arguing about?" sister-in-law asked anxiously.
I laughed dryly and said, "I said we would eat lunch at home, but Xiao Jie wanted to eat outside, so we discussed it."
There were benefits to having sister-in-law around. She played the role of an elder and could handle the relationship between me and Liu Jie. However, I didn't plan on telling sister-in-law about these private matters. It would only make things more chaotic. Moreover, after what Liu Jie said, I did feel a little guilty. However, I didn't think that I did anything wrong. Lin Xiao Ya deserved to end up like this.
To put it bluntly, Lin Xiao Ya would most likely agree if they gave her a hundred thousand or eighty thousand to let a dozen men do her. She just had to say that she was forced, and there was no money involved. That way, she would have crossed the bottom line of the law.
If it was like what Liu Jie said, and Lin Xiao Ya exposed this matter on the internet, then I would definitely be held responsible. After all, most netizens only looked at the surface of things. Those unscrupulous media, in order to gain attention, would very likely come up with some interesting headlines.
The sister-in-law was puzzled by my explanation. Her eyes fell on Liu Jie. She pouted but didn't confirm or deny it. Then, she stormed upstairs.
After Liu Jie entered her room, my sister-in-law asked me in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"Didn't I just say it?
In order to decide where to eat lunch, the discussion was too intense. "
I shrugged. Without a doubt, in front of the smart sister-in-law, my stiff excuse couldn't get through. However, I didn't want to explain too much, especially about the matter of Xiao Pang and Lin Xiao Ya. She hadn't walked out of her sorrow, so it would be meaningless if she kept biting on it. "Okay, then let's go with what she said.
Maybe it's because Xiao Jie's leg injury just healed, so she wanted to go out for a walk. Sigh, it's not that I want to scold you, but as a man, you need to learn to accommodate and change. You can't expect a girl to give in for everything. It doesn't matter to me, but little girls are easily hurt, because I also went through that age, "the sister-in-law said earnestly.
Although she didn't know what happened between Liu Jie and me, she was more biased towards Liu Jie. Because of my mistake, Liu Jie accidentally fell off the building. The sister-in-law also felt guilty.
In the trivial matters of life, she hoped that I could perfect myself, so that we could get along in the long run.
As the saying goes, the ignorant are not guilty. I could understand that the sister-in-law was biased towards Liu Jie, so I just nodded slightly. I planned to go out for lunch, then take Liu Jie shopping and coax her. It was impossible to apologize to Lin Xiao Ya anyways.
Then, I made five sweetened eggs and called Liu Jie, asking her to come down for breakfast. However, she didn't respond. After calling me a few more times, Liu Jie came to the corridor and said angrily, "I don't want to eat, can you stop calling me?"
Her words made me feel awkward. No matter what, the sister-in-law was still there. I just explained that it was just a small argument, but Liu Jie's cold attitude was like a slap to my face.
"If you don't want to eat, then forget it. I don't want to share with you."
I pouted my lips. The sister-in-law ate two sweetened eggs, and I ate the other three. After eating, the sister-in-law took the initiative to clear the table. Then, she glanced at me as if she was waiting for my explanation.
However, I didn't want to explain. If I did, things would become chaotic. The atmosphere became awkward. I had to turn on the TV and make some noise. Since the sister-in-law was on the first floor, I couldn't call Little Cherry. I leaned on the sofa and pretended to play with my phone. Actually, I was chatting with Wan'er on WeChat.
The little girl kept apologizing to me. "I shouldn't have been so close to her grandpa. Otherwise, we wouldn't have called each other. That way, Liu Jie won't misunderstand me."
When I saw the guilt in her words, I felt uncomfortable. Little Cherry also said that I shouldn't be angry at Liu Jie because of her. She was the third party, and she didn't have the right to ask for anything. Even if she had to bear some gossip, it didn't matter. As long as she could be with me, she would always be with me.
At this moment, I felt sorry for Little Cherry. I felt sorry for her. She was the commander-in-chief's granddaughter. Even if I won the competition, I would still be climbing up the social ladder. However, it wasn't like before. In the eyes of the public, I was like a toad lusting after a swan's flesh.
Sigh, it would be great if Liu Jie was as sensible as Little Cherry. Perhaps it had something to do with the environment that they grew up in. Liu Jie had always been the apple of Liu Zhanpeng's eye. Although she didn't have the temperament of a spoiled young lady, she didn't have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. In other words, she was kind to everyone. But Little Cherry was different. She had the mentality of a slave.
However, the sister-in-law was secretly observing me. That was why I didn't show any expression. I pretended to be playing games. The sister-in-law didn't look at my phone either. I asked Little Cherry not to overthink and changed the topic. I asked her how her life was in the military. She also shared some interesting stories with me. With the private tutor's guidance and her hard work, she could communicate with me through text in just a month.
The time spent chatting with her passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was 11: 00 PM. The sister-in-law smiled and stood up. "Let's go out for lunch. I'm going to call Little Jie."
