Through the cigarette smoke, his ears suddenly rang with what that unknown woman said to Ji Yi in the supermarket...
— Xiao Yi, you're young and pretty. You can find any guy you want. Why did you have to go and be with a man like that?
— Think about the people online cursing you. For him, is this all worth ending up like this?
— Even if he doesn't hit you, he has a criminal record, so what will people think of you? You have no idea... Because of him, several of us didn't invite you to our last alumni meet up...
With that thought, He Jichen suddenly raised his hand and took a harsh drag of his cigarette.
Because he inhaled too harshly, he choked on the cigarette smoke, making him cough violently.
After a while, He Jichen slowly came to his senses and stopped coughing. He raised his head and caught a glimpse of the cigarette between his fingers in the car window.
