531 Xing Chen’s Jealousy
Xing Chen and Qiao An came out of the village head’s house. When they passed by the village entrance, they heard the woman’s heart-wrenching cries.
Such cries seemed to be experiencing great grief. It was an outpouring of despair, grief, and indignation.
Qiao An stopped and listened for a moment. Then she looked at Xing Chen uneasily. “Brother Xing Chen, did you hear that? A woman is crying. I don’t know what difficulties she encountered, but she’s crying so heartbreakingly. Let’s go take a look.”
Xing Chen grabbed her and shook her head to stop her. “An’an, Sister-in-law Chen Jing is crying. You’d better not see her. Ever since her man brought her back from the back mountain, he’s abused her every day. No one dissuaded him from his actions. If anyone stops him, he’ll only become more violent to her.”
Qiao An was furious. She placed her hands on her hips and said indignantly, “Is there such a vicious person in the world? I’ll take care of him today.”
Qiao An broke free of Xing Chen’s grip and walked inside angrily.
Xing Chen looked at Qiao An with confusion. He wondered how much righteousness this girl hid in her small body. Afraid that Qiao An would suffer, Xing Chen could only follow her closely.
Qiao An approached Chen Jing’s house angrily. It only took a few steps for her to regain her composure. She changed her mind. Instead of openly criticizing Chen Jing’s husband, she would secretly gather evidence of his abuse of Chen Jing.
She tiptoed around the front door and sneaked to the courtyard wall. She turned on her phone’s camera mode and raised it to the courtyard wall.
A man’s furious voice came from inside. “Chen Jing, I bought you at a high price. If you don’t give birth to a fat boy for me, don’t even think about running. Remember, the next time you run, it won’t be as simple as scalding you with oil.”
Chen Jing was unyielding. She wailed, “You’d better kill me. As long as I can escape, my father will definitely not let you off. At that time, your evil deeds will be made public.”
“Hmph, how dare you scare me? Do you think I was raised to be frightened?” His retort was followed by another round of punches and kicks.
After Qiao An gathered the evidence, she pulled Xing Chen away secretly.
Unfortunately, when they came out of Chen Jing’s house, they bumped into Xing Xiaoya. Xing Xiaoya looked at them with a strange expression and her gaze landed on Qiao An’s phone.
Xing Xiaoya reminded Xingchen meaningfully, “Brother Xing Chen, you know the village rules. Don’t be bewitched by outsiders and break the village rules.”
Xing Chen frowned with disgust in his eyes.
Xing Xiaoya caught the look in his eyes and was secretly shocked. She suddenly felt like a clown. She had almost forgotten that Xing Chen and Qiao An had the same perspectives.
When they first arrived at the village, Xing Chen rushed in angrily when he first heard that the woman next door had been abused. Unexpectedly, the woman was stripped naked by her husband and he ran out. Then, he encouraged Xing Xiaoya to go in and dissuade them.
However, Xing Xiaoya was timid and did not dare to go in. At that time, Xing Chen looked at her like this.
It was filled with disdain and disgust.
Xing Xiaoya suddenly had an epiphany. Actually, Xing Chen really didn’t love her. This was because he was a kind and righteous person. And he hated her cowardice.
Realizing this, Xing Xiaoya felt an unprecedented defeat.
She finally realized that no matter how much she tried to please Xing Chen, and how long she waited for him, Xing Chen would never belong to him.
The girl he liked should be someone like Qiao An, who was rich in sympathy. Although she didn’t like Qiao An, she had to admit that she was brave and upright. She was really the same kind of person as Xing Chen.
Xing Xiaoya suddenly fell silent.
When Xing Chen pulled Qiao An past her, he only warned her, “Xing Xiaoya, don’t reveal what happened today.”
Xing Xiaoya’s eyes widened. He had considered Qiao An’s safety so thoroughly. His love for Qiao An was steadfast, making her crazy with jealousy.
She watched Xing Chen and Qiao An leave. She gritted her teeth and walked into Chen Jing’s house with red eyes.
When Qiao An and Xing Chen returned to the cabin at the back of the mountain, Qiao An collapsed on the bed in exhaustion. She sent Xiao Ming the video on her phone. Then she texted Xiao Ming and told him the truth about the situation here.
Xiao Ming replied almost instantly: An’an, have you gone to be a savior again? Remember, you have to protect yourself first under any circumstances. Don’t be impulsive.
At the end was a sentence: “Ki Ki, Angel, and Joey miss you. I miss you too. Come back early.”
Qiao An fell asleep quickly. Xing Chen, who had finished cooking, entered the room. When he saw Qiao An lying on the bed, he quickly covered her with the blanket.
The phone in her hand fell to the ground. Xing Chen picked it up and saw the message on the phone, including the last sentence. Xing Chen’s chest was instantly filled with jealousy.
Xiao Ming sounded as though he was family with Qiao An and her children were family. This made Xing Chen unhappy.
Silently, he placed the phone by the bed, before staring at Qiao An quietly.
He thought he still didn’t seem to know enough about Qiao An’s past and should find a chance to ask her.
However, there was a trace of fear in his heart. He was afraid that if she revealed everything to him, she would not belong completely to him.
Furious at himself for questioning Qiao An’s feelings, Xing Chen tapped the side of his head.
Since Qiao An had said that she wanted to live with him wholeheartedly, he should believe her unconditionally.
After Qiao An woke up from her sleep, she realized that Xing Chen was lying listlessly on a recliner at the door with an obscure expression.
“Brother Xing Chen, you’ve been exhausted these days. Why don’t you go in and lie down?”
“Who’s Xiao Ming? What exactly is your relationship with him?” Xing Chen looked up at her with a grievance in his eyes.
Qiao An winced before grinning.
“Qiao An, I’m serious.” Xing Chen’s expression was serious.
Qiao An quickly stopped smiling and squatted in front of him like a puppy. “I adopted Brother Xiao Ming’s daughter,” she explained slowly. “When I came here, I handed over the three children to him to take care of.”
Xing Chen’s handsome face darkened. “He said he missed you.”
Stunned, Qiao An took out her phone and checked Xiao Ming’s message. When she saw Xiao Ming say that he missed her, surprise appeared in Qiao An’s eyes.
“Why did he say this?” she said, dumbfounded.
“Don’t you know he likes you?”
Qiao An shook her head in confusion.
“He can’t like me. He loves Sister Qianqian. She’s the best in the world.”
Xing Chen had heard Qiao An mention Lu Qianqian and knew that she was Qiao An’s savior. She also knew that she was a light in Qiao An’s heart.
Xing Chen said, “Some scars heal. Qiao An, he can’t live in the shadow of Qianqian’s death for the rest of his life. And you’re the best person for him. Because you raised his child. So I conclude he wants to woo you.”
