Ji Xiaoli knew that Ji Xuewei wasn't being kind enough to remind her, but the wet clothes on her body were indeed uncomfortable and sticky. Moreover, she couldn't leave for the time being, after all Qin Zhenyang was still there, and as his female companion, she had to behave herself.

  Ji Xuewei took her to the second floor and indeed picked out a dress for her to change into, but it disappointed her - there were no embellishments on the dress. Ji Xuewei generously handed her a pale pink evening gown to change into.

  Ji Xiaoli didn't drag things out either. Although the two had been living together for nearly twenty years, she understood Ji Xuewei better than anyone else. As the saying goes, "no need to be overly enthusiastic when there's nothing going on", she never needed to be enthusiastic about anything, but now that she was being so enthusiastic, it definitely meant something was up!

  Ji Xiaoli quickly changed her clothes and prepared to leave. It wasn't that she didn't know how to repay kindness or take people's good intentions for granted, but rather Ji Xuewei had done so many things that she couldn't help but be on high alert.

  As expected, just as she was about to open the door, Ji Xuewei called out to her.

  "Don't be in a hurry to leave... Since you've all come up, why not just have it out and see how things go?" Ji Xuewei also stopped pretending, her face haughty as she blocked the person in the room.

  Ji Xiao's face sank in the next moment, "What do you mean! I really don't know what else we have to say between us... As for saying it out loud, why didn't you say it earlier in front of everyone? Now, sorry! I don't want to hear anything from you!"

  Ji Xuewei disagreed, the door of the room had been locked from the inside by her, and without her command, it was impossible to open it, even if she wanted to go out, she couldn't!

  Ji Xiaoli quickly realized this, no matter how hard she twisted the doorknob, it was useless, obviously someone had tampered with it! She narrowed her eyes and coldly stared at Ji Xuewei sitting on the sofa: "What do you want!"

  "Can't you see how I feel? Dearest sister, I thought you understood me best of all!" Ji Xuewei said with a hint of laughter in her eyes.

  "Those were all your intentional actions! Whether it was Qin Zong's mother or that glass of red wine, they were all part of your plan to get me to the second floor?" Ji Xiaoli said coldly, but even knowing this, she still couldn't guess what her ultimate goal was.

  Ji Xuewei clapped her hands together, "Is it or isn't it... I've calculated that you'd come, do you think I'd miss this opportunity again?"

  Ji Xiaoli kept a safe distance from her, she didn't know what kind of crazy plan this woman was up to, but her subconscious definitely had something to do with her. If she got too close, she would suffer the consequences sooner or later...

  "Do you hate me that much? You've been trying every means to make my life miserable, but what's the reason? Qin Zhen, you've already gotten what you wanted. I've already kept a distance from you, and now you're married into the Qin family as you wished. What more do you want?"

  Ji Xuewei stood up from the sofa, walking step by step towards him, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment: "I don't want to do anything, but you're forcing me! You're forcing me to treat you like this! You were dumped by Qin Zong, but why does he still miss you? Why?! You're just a woman who doesn't even know your own parents, how can you live a happier life than me?! Qin Zhenyang is indifferent to all women, except for you..."

  She's jealous, she's the apple of her parents' eye, always fighting to be the first in everything. But Ji Xiaoli's existence is already getting in her way, she's had the best grades since childhood, attended the best university, and even has a gentle and considerate boyfriend!

  She finally managed to get it with great difficulty, but still couldn't outdo her! How could she be willing to give up?!

  Ji Xiaoli shrugged, a sarcastic smile flashing on her lips: "There's never been equality in this world, and love is no exception... did you think about the consequences of snatching Qin Zong away from me? You didn't! All you knew was that I would definitely become a laughing stock, and you would be the ultimate winner! But now the ending has changed, and you're not satisfied... Ji Xuewei, the earth isn't revolving just for you alone!"

  "But I didn't put in any less effort than you! How much time did I spend trying to win over Qin Zong's mother, how much time did I spend on him, for him I was willing to do anything! But what was the result? His heart wasn't with me!" Ji Xuewei sneered coldly. What she wanted was Qin Zong's undivided attention towards her, and even more so, she wanted this woman who had been competing with her since childhood to live a life that was as miserable as possible.

  "That's your own problem, nothing to do with me."

  "You and Qin Zhenyang are registered? But have you ever thought that you haven't gotten recognition from any member of the Qin family, so you'll only be a black household! Even if you enter the Qin family's door, you'll forever be an unwelcome woman!" Ji Xuewei said venomously.

  "Whatever you think... I married Qin Zhenyang, not the Qin family. Life will be what it is, I don't ask for much, at least I'll live happily. If you have nothing else to say, please open the door, I want to go out!" Ji Xiaoli had had enough of these poisonous words in her ears, and a hint of impatience appeared on her face.

  "Aren't you curious why I brought you here? If it was just to say these words, it wouldn't be worth my while!" She meaningfully touched her flat abdomen.

  "What do you mean!" This action made her vigilant, Ji Xuewei was pregnant, but it didn't seem quite right?

  Ji Xuewei said with a hint of a smile: "You clearly know what I mean, how about it? Don't dare to think?"

  Ji Xiaoli took two steps back, if that was what she thought. Ji Xuewei silently became pregnant and called herself into the room, even if it was true that she wanted to frame herself, why would she use her own child as a bargaining chip?

  Unless... unless she wasn't pregnant in the first place, but someone already knows about it. If something happens to her belly, then the responsibility will all be on her!

  Ji Xiaoli's face changed instantly. She didn't know to what extent Ji Xuewei had arranged things, but she had already stepped into her trap and it would probably be difficult to get out now...

  "If you do this, it will be discovered sooner or later! As long as you've done something, there will always be a clue to follow!" Ji Xiaoli could only scare her like this.

  But how could Ji Xuewei be afraid? Since she had a good grasp of arranging this play, she naturally wouldn't let anyone find out. She walked to Ji Xiaoli's side and whispered sarcastically in her ear: "Are you scared now? The game hasn't even started... aren't you also very good at acting? Let's wait and see how you'll act next!"

  Ji Xiaoli's face was cold and she didn't say a word. She had already checked out this room earlier, although there were windows, but the second floor here was equivalent to the third floor of her usual residence. If she jumped down, it would be strange if both legs weren't broken... Even if she had such an idea, Ji Xuewei would have injured her own stomach beforehand and framed herself, so that when the time came, she would really become a fugitive escaping from punishment.

  Ji Xiaoli had never felt so helpless in her life. She knew that this woman was not good-natured and wanted to frame her, but she was powerless to stop it! All she could do was watch as everything unfolded... In the end, it was all because of her own weakness that the other woman was able to bully her time and time again.

  There had never been a moment when Ji Xiao Li yearned so much for himself to become stronger.

  Ji Xuewei messed up her hair at this time, and when Ji Xiaoli was not paying attention, she suddenly pounced over. Even if you know that the next moment will be wrong, but when someone rushes up to squeeze you to death, human instincts will still counterattack.

  Then...

  Fifteen minutes ago, in the study.

  "I heard you brought someone back this time? Last time, I and your mom said that the Qin family would not recognize that woman, what's going on with you!" Old Man Qin glared, his face looking very unpleasant.

  Qin Zhenyang is actually very similar to Lao Yezi in some ways, both of their temperaments are equally stubborn, once they make up their minds, they will never give up!

  "The person I'm marrying has nothing to do with our family! I received the wedding invitation for Qin Zhen's engagement, and of course, I'll bring my partner along... If you want me to cut ties with the family, if that's really what you want, not only will I not come back, but you won't be able to see her either."

  In a fit of rage, the old man's teacup flew out of his hand and smashed onto the floor in front of Qin Zhenyang's feet. His trousers were still dripping with scalding hot water, but his face remained expressionless, showing no sign of emotion.

  The more he didn't speak, the more impatient the old man became: "You've become quite patient! After a few years in the army, you can leave your family, huh?"

  "I didn't mean it that way, but Father, you yourself said you don't want to see her, however, since I've come to this gathering, my wife will inevitably attend as well."

  "Then get a divorce! Now! Immediately! Right away! As soon as you're divorced, your mom will immediately find you the best daughter-in-law in Beijing!"

  Qin Zhenyang couldn't help but furrow his brow, and resolutely threw out three words, "Not possible!"

  "Why can't it be? Old Three, your mom has also told you that the woman is not suitable for you... she can't even touch this circle, so why not just end it here!"

  Qin Zhenyang sneered, "She's fine, as for the rest... I've said it before, it's impossible!"

  "You scoundrel! Aren't you afraid that I'll find someone to take her away, far, far away? Then you'll never see her again for the rest of your life!"

  "Are you threatening me?"

  "Threats? What's the big deal about threats? If you won't listen to my words, why should I continue to reason with you?"

  Neither father nor son is reasonable, and they have one thing in common: violence decides everything.

  Qin Zong was originally kneeling on the ground listening to his father's scolding, but now he stood up, patted the dust off his pants and said calmly: "Dad, if you really want to do it that way, I won't stop you! If she's gone missing, then I'll go find her. If I spend my whole life searching and can't find her, then I'll just search for a lifetime... As for this family, I don't even feel like going back."

  Qin San Ye has never been someone who can follow the rules and be a yes-man, whatever arrangements are made for him at home he will not necessarily follow, otherwise he wouldn't be Qin San!

  "You little scamp! How dare you speak to your old man like that!" Old Qin was so angry that his mustache was quivering with rage.

  Qin Zhenyang raised an eyebrow and walked to the door of the study room, then turned around and said: "Dad, don't interfere with my business. If you really accept Xiaoli, that's fine. Since you can't accept her, just don't say anything. This is better for everyone..."

  Qin Zhenyang came out of the study and went straight downstairs, where he met Qin Zong, who was walking towards him with a highball glass in his hand. His thin lips curled up slightly: "Congratulations!"

  That's more than enough.

  Congratulations on your engagement, congratulations on marrying a top-notch woman who has reduced the trouble for everyone, and even more congratulations on finally not having to worry about that person from my family.

  Qin Zong couldn't help but feel a bitter smile in his heart.

  At this time, a woman's shrill cry suddenly came from a certain room on the second floor, "Save me..."

  "This is Ji Xuewei's voice, and since all the guests have heard her voice before, they naturally knew."

  Qin Zong didn't particularly like this woman, but after all, she was carrying his child, so when he heard her cry for help, his heart clenched first.

  Ready to pull his leg and run upstairs, Qin Zhenyang pulled him back at this time.

  "Third Uncle, why are you pulling me? Xuewei just shouted..."

  Qin Zhenyang narrowed his eyes impatiently and said in a cold voice, "Is Xiao Li with her? Are they in the same room?"

  If everyone thought Ji Xuewei was a pure and innocent little white lotus, Qin Zhenyang would never think so. A woman who had repeatedly hurt people with despicable means would shout for help!

  It's okay if something really happens, but what I'm afraid of is making a big deal out of nothing!

  Qin Zong was somewhat puzzled by his meaning, "Xiao Li just went up with Xue Wei, she spilled red wine on her body and went to change clothes."

  Qin Zhenyang's face changed greatly after hearing this, and he hastily went up the stairs two steps at a time, three steps ahead of Qin Zheng.
