"Mother-in-law, thank you for your hard work. Actually, it doesn't cost much to buy some breakfast."
Seeing her busy herself, I felt a little embarrassed. Even in my hometown, I was self-reliant, and I rarely bothered my parents.
Of course, now that my status had risen, it was understandable that the people around me were polite to me.
"The food you buy outside tastes good, but it doesn't mean it's healthy. What? Don't you like to eat Mother-in-law's underbelly?" She rolled her eyes and asked me.
Her words were full of ambiguity. It was clearly 'Mother-in-law's underbelly', but she wanted to omit a word. I suspected that she was doing it on purpose. Thinking back to how she had teased me several times before, I didn't find it strange.
Fortunately, as a man with self-control, I wouldn't take that step. Originally, it was already against the world's view to go hand in hand with Mother-in-law. If Mother-in-law got pregnant as she wished, it would be the anger of both men and God.
Even if we used artificial insemination or borrowed eggs to give birth, it wouldn't work. With my understanding of Mother-in-law, she wouldn't be able to accept it. Moreover, now that I had the Medicine King's inheritance, it was only a matter of time before I could cure her. Because of this, I had to keep my distance from Mother-in-law.
I didn't know how to answer her. After eating, Mother-in-law stretched her body. She looked as if she hadn't slept well. She was lying on the sofa watching TV with her legs casually crossed. From my angle, I could vaguely see a dark patch. Oh my, she's not even wearing underwear. Is she trying to seduce me again?
"Mother-in-law, I still have something to do. I'll go out first." After saying goodbye, I left. To be honest, I was afraid that something would happen if I stayed at home like this.
Sigh, although the feeling of being paralyzed by alcohol wasn't good, now that I was sober, I would think of Liu Jie. However, what my sister-in-law said made sense. I had to give her the cold shoulder for a while. I was wronged and felt wronged. The reason why Liu Jie insisted on me apologizing was because, in her eyes, Lin Xiao Ya wasn't so bad that she couldn't be saved. The best way was to let her see Lin Xiao Ya's true colors.
Then, she would understand that what I did wasn't excessive. From an outsider's point of view, Liu Jie was really a fool. Her kindness and naivety were used by Lin Xiaoya. Most importantly, she didn't realize it. It was just like when she was sold, she would still smile and help the person earn money.
However, I felt that if I put myself in her shoes, Lin Xiaoya would sow discord and cause me and Liu Jie to be in a cold war. It didn't seem to benefit her at all. At most, she would protect herself. If I didn't apologize, she wouldn't be able to do anything to me. Perhaps it would be like what Liu Jie said. If I exposed this matter on the internet, it would be troublesome.
After all, the public opinion on the internet was huge. Just as I was thinking about what to do, my phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar local number.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Zhuang Feng, I'm Lin Xiaoya. Come over. Let's talk." A familiar female voice came from the other side of the phone.
Interesting. This scheming bitch actually took the initiative to find me. She definitely knew that Liu Jie and I had a bad relationship. Since I had nothing to do, I might as well go and meet her.
"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."
I readily agreed. However, on the way there, I was struggling. What kind of attitude should I use to face Lin Xiaoya? Should I use force and bribe, or should I play the emotional card?
This was related to my and Liu Jie's future. If I attacked Lin Xiaoya, or even killed her, it would only prove that I had a guilty conscience. Even if other people believed me, Liu Jie wouldn't forgive me.
Frankly speaking, if I did that, I would completely lose Liu Jie. Although she was a bit stupid, she was kind. At that time, for me, she made the decision to die for love, and even jumped off a building. I firmly believed that she still loved me. It was just that it wasn't that kind of unconditional and bottomless love. Because Lin Xiaoya was her best friend, and they were classmates, Liu Jie was also very annoyed.
If that was the case, I should treat Lin Xiaoya better. At least, I wouldn't let her have anything to talk about. After thinking it through, I specially bought a few good dishes from a restaurant near the nightclub.
Not long after, I arrived at the nightclub. During the day, there usually wasn't much business. Last night, a group of brothers drank too much. This time, only a few cleaners were busy, but there were still brothers on duty.
Under the guidance of a brother, I found Lin Xiaoya's room. Although it was called a room, it was actually a storage room. Since I didn't tell them how to treat her, but seeing that I was angry, the person in charge of the Blood Wolf Hall temporarily put her in the storage room.
After the crazy abuse last night, Lin Xiaoya's face was a bit pale, and her eyes were dull. She wrapped herself in a coat, and looked a bit pitiful.
Originally, I wasn't a cold and heartless person. Seeing her like this, I felt a bit regretful, but my expression didn't change.
"Come, eat something."
I heard from that brother that Lin Xiaoya hadn't eaten anything since last night, and didn't communicate with anyone. Just when he was about to ask me, I ran over.
"I don't want to eat." Lin Xiaoya shook her head. As soon as I entered the room, her tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Eat some. Otherwise, if you starve to death, I'll have to bear the responsibility," I said with a pout.
"Hehe, if I'm full, won't I be ruined by them again? If that's the case, I might as well starve to death." Lin Xiaoya smiled coldly, and glared at me.
"Hey, you asked me to come over to talk. I bought good food from you. Why do you have this attitude?" I was a bit embarrassed, and said with slight dissatisfaction.
Lin Xiaoya didn't say anything. Then, she opened the package, and took a bite. That wronged look made it seem like she was the most pitiful person in the world. I took a deep breath, and told myself, I must calm down. This was a psychological game, and I couldn't say anything bad to her, or else she would tell Liu Jie.
If I took away her phone, and Liu Jie couldn't contact her, she would blame me. Even if I snatched the phone and pretended to be Lin Xiaoya, it wouldn't solve the root of the problem. After all, I thought about it carefully. I couldn't keep Lin Xiaoya imprisoned like this forever. She still had to go to school, and she had her own parents.
"Why did you tell Liu Jie about the grudge between us!?" I said suddenly.
"Because I was afraid of being f * cked to death."
Lin Xiaoya was very honest. This reason almost made me laugh, but I didn't show any expression on my face.
