Xia Weiyang was slightly startled.
"Lu Ziyin," Shi Jue said hesitantly.
At that moment, Xia Weiyang finally understood what was happening. She wanted to pull her arm away, but Shi Jue held on to her even tighter.
"Don't move!" Shi Jue shouted coldly and gave her a stern look.
Looking at the deep bruise marks on Xia Weiyang's wrist, Shi Jue lowered his eyes and placed his hand on her arm. He gently stroked her wrist with his thumb. He knew the bruises were causing her pain.
Shi Jue's heart tightened.
He closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them, a cold gaze flashed across his eyes.
He suddenly released Xia Weiyang's arm.
Inexplicable!
Xia Weiyang looked at Shi Jue with a confused look on her face.
He was acting like a totally different person.
Xia Weiyang never thought Shi Jue would act like that.
"Once we get home, ask Li Qing to find some non-irritating medicine for your bruises," Shi Jue said before closing his eyes.
On the surface, he looked calm. However, in his heart, Shi Jue was very upset.
He did not know why, but as long as he was near Xia Weiyang, he had a strong urge to protect her. He would get angry when he saw her getting hurt. He felt the same when she was getting bullied. He was always ready to help her get revenge on those who abused her.
However, he knew in his heart that he did not like her. He did not like her at all.
But if he didn't like her, how could Xia Weiyang control his emotions?
Ever since he met Xia Weiyang, he had never been the same.
The next day.
Xia Weiyang went to work as usual. However, as she entered the office, two women suddenly approached her.
They were very aggressive as they walked towards her.
Their presence instantly ruined Xia Weiyang's good mood.
"Little b*tch, your heart is really vicious. You actually pushed your sister down and wanted to harm the child in your sister's womb!" Xia Weiyang's mother, Wang Jiayi shouted at her face. After she finished speaking, she raised her arm and slapped Xia Weiyang.
Xia Weiyang immediately dodged her hand.
What a joke. Xia Weiyang did not expect her mother would try to slap her that morning.
She already had enough of her family's actions against her.
Within just a couple of days, she was confronted by different members of her family.
Although she was starting to get used to it, constantly arguing with her family was getting a bit tiring.
"How dare you dodge!"
Wang Jiayi missed. She took a few steps forward as she lost her balance because of the strength of her attempted slap. She turned around and glared at Xia Weiyang.
"I'm not cheap," Xia Weiyang said lightly.
After she said that, her mother laughed unkindly.
"You..." Wang Jiayi's face was ferocious. Her hands trembled as she pointed at Xia Weiyang.
Suddenly, her tone softened.
"Xia Weiyang, even if you were attracted to your brother-in-law and tricked him to get into bed with you, your sister is not angry with you. She is still trying to defend you," Wang Jiayi said.
Xia Weiyang's lips held a cold smile as she looked at the person in front of her.
"You're wrong. Xia Ningyan seduced my lover. Do you know how she seduced him?" Xia Weiyang said sinisterly. "Xia Ningyan took off her clothes and laid on the bed with her legs wide open. That's what she did to steal my little brother!"
"Xia Weiyang, you're speaking nonsense!" Wang Jiayi said as the calmness in her face disappeared.
Wang Jiayi then took a deep breath, and her tone softened again.
"I know that you're jealous of your sister because she's pregnant. I know that you're angry at her, too. But Xia Weiyang, you have no idea what your sister's going through. The child in her stomach is not Lu Ziyin's, but young master Shi Jue's," Wang Jiayi said.
Xia Weiyang's eyes widened, and she looked at Wang Jiayi in disbelief.
Was she telling the truth?
Who was the father of Xia Ningyan's child?
Was Xia Ningyan carrying the child of young master Shi Jue?
Xia Weiyang could not believe what she just heard!
