Chapter 140: I Envy You, You Have A Good Husband
Jian Jie stared at her in fright, her tears promptly freezing.
Meanwhile, Ji Weixi continued scolding her. “Can’t you see? He’s a scumbag. He would rather have that ugly one than you. And what does that mean?”
Jian Jie was confused. “...what does it mean?”
“It means you’re less than an ugly woman in his heart. He would never shed a tear over you even if you die—why keep a scumbag like that?”
“But...” Jian Jie pursed her lips and started crying again, her voice ever upset. “But I can’t forget him...”
Ji Weixi sneered. “You’re quite blind. He’s a ladyboy and has nothing to his name. I’m quite impressed that you’ve provided for him for so long.”
If it were her, she would have kicked him out long ago.
Meanwhile, Li Shaoling nonchalantly touched his chin and stared at Ji Weixi with a twinkle in his eye. “I really envy you having such a good husband!”
Ji Weixi did not even look at him.
‘What a narcissistic man,’ she thought to herself.
And he wasn’t married yet. ‘You’re no husband!’
After crying for a while again, Jian Jie began to sniffle and rub off her snot.
Ji Weixi held her temper. “Now, can you tell me who abetted you?”
Jian Jie had her fingers tangled, and struggled inwardly for quite some time before finally speaking with much difficulty. “It’s... Qian Jia.”
“Qian Jia?” Ji Weixi was taken aback, and asked again as if assuming that she heard her wrong. “Are you sure it’s Qian Jia?”
Jian Jie nodded. “It’s her.”
The one who abetted Jian Jie is Lin Xiaoman’s own manager, Qian Jia? Not Qiao Ai?
Ji Weixi did not expect that at all.
“Qian Jia sought me out,” Jian Jie continued. “She gave me some money, and incidentally Lin Kai had some debt he couldn’t pay off, and I needed money myself... that is why I... accepted. She had me tamper with Lin Xiaoman’s dress. One day, when I applied for leave because of stomachache, she called me, saying that you were searching for me... so I quickly returned to my old home, and Qian Jie told me that she would give me more money so that I put the blame on you...”
Ji Weixi frowned. “Why didn’t you admit the truth? Does she have something over you?”
Jian Jie bit her lip tightly then, holding back her tears. “My grandmother was once admitted to a hospital because of a heart attack, because I didn’t listen to her and stayed together with Lin Kai... After Qian Jia learned about that, she threatened me with it, saying that if I reveal the truth, she would tell my grandmother that I have... his child...”
Ji Weixi looked in surprise at Jian Jie’s flat belly. “You’re pregnant?”
“Yeah.” Jian Jie said ironically. “It’s funny, he told me to get an abortion after I told him about my pregnancy. Now he even wants to break up with me... I really feel like such a fool!”
Li Shaoling had kept silent all along, but gave one timely insult to injury at that, “Very self-aware.”
Speechless, Ji Weixi shot him a glance. How could he have such a poisonous tongue?
Did he grow up on wolfsbane?
Jian Jie was very apologetic. “Miss Ji, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have taken Qian Jia’s money and framed you... but I-I really can’t go back to be your witness, because she did help me when I needed money most... I can’t do that to her.”
Li Shaoling sneered. “You thought she’s helping you when in truth she’s hurting you.”
Jian Jie looked up at him in confusion.
“Lin Xiaoman now knows you’re the culprit. You’ve ruined an artist’s face—did you think she would spare you?”
Jian Jie’s face went white. “How-how could that be? How did she know?!”
“You know the answer already. Qian Jia is Lin Xiaoman’s manager—you’re nothing but a chess piece thrown away, and you’ll never win against her. So what if she was the one who told you to do it? You have no evidence. Lin Xiaoman would force you into a corner or just... toy with you until you die.”
Li Shaoling’s voice was cold and his words heavy, leaving Jian Jie’s heart thumping.
She knew that Qian Jia must have her methods to become Lin Xiaoman’s manager.
Moreover, the entertainment industry all knew that Lin Xiaoman has strong support.
It was entirely thanks to Li Shaoling that Lin Xiaoman did not make trouble for Ji Weixi—because she could not afford to cross him.
On the other hand, bullying Jian Jie would be all too easy.
Even if she was stupid, Jian Jie understood that too.
“I...” She murmured, her fingers tightening over her lap.
Nonetheless, Ji Weixi continued mocking her. “What evidence do you have even if you claim that Qian Jie told you to do it? And would she admit it? The reason she told Lin Xiaoman about you is clear: She is going to use Lin Xiaoman herself to get rid of you. And you’re still thanking her? There’s nothing more between you two than a trade, with no one owing anything. I really pity you, being sold off and still siding with her.”
Jian Jie became more agitated the more she listened, and abruptly stood up. “She would never get what she wants! Huo Feng had stumbled on us when we were making a deal! He knows! He’s a witness too! A third person knows aside from the two of us!”
Ji Weixi turned to Li Shaoling and shared smiled, a smart scheming showing in their eyes.
“Then come with me back to River Town and look for Huo Feng.”
Both Ji Weixi and Li Shaoling stood up, and Jian Jie realized then that she was tricked!
She shook her head, refusing once again. “I can’t agree to that. If I become a witness, Qian Jia will definitely tell my grandmother that I’m pregnant!”
Ji Weixi glowered, having lost all patience. “You’re wrong. I, too, can tell your grandmother that you’re pregnant.”
Jian Jie was about to retort when her eyes suddenly bulged. Her face became pale-white, and her eyes slowly shifted downwards.
Blood was streaming down her lower body along her legs.
Her belly was cramping so hard that she could not bear it, and she dropped to the ground, and she struggled to even moan.
At the same time, fresh crimson continued flowing, and her lower half was soon soaked in a puddle of blood.
“Help... Help me...” She looked to Li Shaoling for aid, her face contorted in anguish.
Everything happened so suddenly.
Ji Weixi grabbed Li Shaoling’s arm and exclaimed urgently. “Quick, take her to the hospital!”
It looks like a miscarriage.
Li Shaoling was simply reluctant to pick up any woman aside from Ji Weixi, but in the end, he begrudgingly took Jian Jie to a hospital.
After Jian Jie was wheeled into the emergency room, a nurse soon came out and rushed towards them. “Who is Jian Jie’s kin here?”
Ji Weixi stood up. “I’m not, but I know her.”
“Where’s her family?”
“We can’t reach them at the moment.” Ji Weixi had to lie since the old lady could not bear the shock.
“She’s in eccyesis and bleeding a lot— to save her life, her left Fallopian tube must be cut. Please, sign this!”
Ji Weixi froze in shock. She had assumed that it was a simple miscarriage and not an ectopic pregnancy.
Nonetheless, Li Shaoling beat her to it and signed his name.
When lives were at stake, he would never let Ji Weixi shoulder such responsibility.
