Without caring about the tray and cup in her hands, Yu Xiao threw herself on the big bed and cried bitterly. Infinite grievances surged in her heart, and she cried uncontrollably. She didn't even hear the knock on the door. After an unknown amount of time, her crying gradually weakened, leaving only low sobs. She reached out and fumbled for the phone on the bedside, and with tears in her eyes, she looked for Kang Shaonan's number.
At this moment, she wished Kang Shaonan would appear in front of her immediately so that she could hug him and cry her heart out.
His number was at the top of the address book. Yu Xiao pressed it without hesitation and put it to her ear, waiting for his magnetic and tolerant voice to come over. Even if she couldn't meet him, just hearing his voice was a great comfort to her. In this world, it seemed that he was the only one who was most tolerant of her. He doted on her with all his heart, even more than her parents.
But to his disappointment, the familiar voice did not ring from the phone, but a cold reminder tone: Hello! The number you dialed is turned off!
Listening to the answer from the phone, the tears that had just stopped burst out again. She called again several times in disbelief. But the voice was the same every time. Throwing the phone aside dejectedly, Yu Xiao curled up in bed helplessly, hugging the pillow, staring blankly ahead. Thinking about living here forever, she suddenly began to panic. With Liu Xiaoyun's sharp personality, she could imagine what kind of life she would live here in the future...
Sitting up from the bed, she grabbed her phone, picked up the bag next to her, and walked towards the bedroom door.
She had done something wrong. She shouldn't have cheated Kang Shaonan of the one million with Luo Yi. She shouldn't have run to the army in a rage and caused the fire in the new house. Even if these two things were all her fault, she didn't marry into the Kang family to atone for her past sins. She was only 22 years old. Think about the girls of her age who were still living a carefree life with their parents. Why should she suffer like this here
She didn't want to stay in this place for even a second! She held the door handle tightly and opened the door fiercely, wanting to leave.
Yu Xiao didn't expect that there was a person leaning against the door. The moment she opened the door, the person lost his balance and rushed in. She dodged to the side, and Kang Shaoxi rushed forward two steps unexpectedly, and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and did not fall.
Yu Xiao looked at her coldly, then quickly walked out of the room.
"Hey... Sister-in-law, wait a minute!" Seeing the angry expression on the girl's face, she knew she had gone too far this time. Seeing Yu Xiao was about to leave, Kang Shaoxi shouted and chased after her, quickly running a few steps over Yu Xiao's body and blocking her.
"Get out of the way!" Yu Xiao frowned and glared at her. If she guessed correctly, the cockroach in the cup of coffee must have been put in by her when she wasn't paying attention. Because from the time she made the coffee to the time she served it to Liu Xiaoyun, she was the only one by her side.
"Where are you going?" Seeing Yu Xiao's expression, Kang Shaoxi didn't move, just stared at her and asked.
"What does where I go have to do with you? Get out of the way!" Yu Xiao looked at her and sneered, not daring to imagine that what happened just now was really related to her.
"Okay! I apologize to you! It's all my fault! I shouldn't have released that cockroach! I just wanted to play a joke on you, who knew my mother would react so strongly after seeing the cockroach? It's all my fault! I'm sorry!" Kang Shaoxi knew that if she didn't confess the matter, Yu Xiao would most likely leave here. Once she really left, not to mention that her eldest brother would not forgive her, if grandpa knew the truth, he would also scold her severely.
"Ha! So it was you who really did that!" Yu Xiao sneered again. It turned out that it was she who did it!
"I was just trying to play a joke on you! I didn't expect the consequences to be so serious. How about I go get a glass of water and you splash it on my face?" Kang Shaoxi looked at Yu Xiao's face where the coffee had just been splashed and had turned red, and asked her tentatively. Of course, she had calculated that even if she really brought it, Yu Xiao would not splash it on her.
"Get out of the way!" Yu Xiao didn't want to hear her explanation. She just wanted to leave this place that made her sad and insecure. She walked to Kang Shaoxi's side and said she would leave no matter what.
"Then I'll return the clothes to you! Is that okay?" Seeing that Yu Xiao was still determined to leave, Kang Shaoxi tried her best to stop her.
The two people were about the same height, but Yu Xiao was relatively weak. After trying several times, he still couldn't get over her body. He could only stare at her with a frown.
"What do you want?"
"I sincerely apologize to you. You can leave. Just forgive me before you leave!" Kang Shaoxi knew that if he let her go this time, he would be in trouble.
"Okay! I forgive you! Get out of the way!" Yu Xiao just wanted to leave here immediately, and the words of promise came out of his mouth.
"Then you have to promise me that you won't tell grandpa and dad about this, let alone your eldest brother! Also... if you go back to your mother's house... you can't tell your mom either!" Kang Shaoxi thought for a moment and looked at her.
"Okay! I promise you!" Yu Xiao answered without thinking. After that, he used all his strength to push Kang Shaoxi away and quickly ran towards the stairs.
But her speed was still slower than Kang Shaoxi's. Just after running two steps, she felt someone hit her lower back. She was caught off guard and fell forward. With a bang, she fell heavily on the floor of the corridor. The place where the coffee had just been splashed, she felt a piercing pain instantly.
It turned out that when Kang Shaoxi wanted to chase her, he lost his balance and fell, knocking Yu Xiao down with him.
"What are you two doing?" Before Yu Xiao could stand up, she heard Liu Xiaoyun's voice from above her head. She frowned and gritted her teeth to support herself and stood up from the ground. Without even looking at Liu Xiaoyun, she tried to go around her and go downstairs, but Liu Xiaoyun grabbed her arm.
"Ahem..." Seeing that Yu Xiao's face had been splashed with water and had a few bumps on it, Liu Xiaoyun coughed twice with a guilty conscience: "Xiaoxiao, I didn't expect Shaoxi to do such a thing. It must have hurt. I have some ointment in my room. Come on, I'll help you apply it!"
Just after Yu Xiao returned to her room, Kang Shaoxi ran up to listen. After knocking on the door several times, Yu Xiao did not come to open the door. The mother and daughter were afraid that something might go wrong, so they kept thinking about what to do about it. The result of the discussion was to find a way to prevent Yu Xiao from going out.
“No need!” Yu Xiao looked ahead at the man’s answer without looking away. He really took her for a fool. He poured a cup of hot coffee on her and slapped her in the face, and then said that he would be fine after applying ointment. Wasn’t she too easy to bully
Kang Shaoxi also got up from the ground at this moment, walked to Yu Xiao's side, looked at Liu Xiaoyun and said, "Mom, she insists on leaving! Please try to persuade her! I have admitted my mistake to her, but she still won't forgive me!"
Liu Xiaoyun glared at her daughter fiercely and said, "You damn girl, there are so many things you can do, but you do this? Let alone Xiaoxiao, if someone splashed coffee on you and slapped you, would you feel good about it?"
"Sister-in-law, I really did something wrong! I'm sorry, please forgive me this time. I promise I will never do this again!" Kang Shaoxi held Yu Xiao's hand and promised like a vow.
Yu Xiao bit her lip tightly and said nothing.
Seeing that Yu Xiao didn't react, Liu Xiaoyun continued, "Xiaoxiao, Shaoxi was a little too much just now. I sometimes have a bad temper and I'm a bit of a germaphobe. When I saw that thing in the coffee cup... Forget it, Xiaoxiao, you are the eldest sister-in-law. I won't protect Shaoxi if she makes such a mistake. If you really want to leave, mom won't stop you. But you can think about how our Kang family has treated your family since your company owed two million yuan. First it was two million, and then one million. We didn't care. The new house is also money! But the house burned down, and no one said anything to you, what do you think?"
Yu Xiao's lips moved. Liu Xiaoyun's words hit her soft spot. No matter how angry she was, the two million and the wedding house were real events. She couldn't just pretend that nothing happened. Her throat slid twice, and she whispered, "I'll go back to my room first..." Then she turned around and left.
Liu Xiaoyun stopped her again: "Xiaoxiao, if you don't feel well, eat upstairs tonight! If grandpa and dad ask, I will say you are not feeling well. I will ask the driver to take you to school tomorrow morning after Shaobei leaves for work! Do you think this is okay?"
"It's up to you!" Yu Xiao didn't look at the mother and daughter again. He returned to his room indifferently and closed the door.
Watching Yu Xiao's figure disappear, Liu Xiaoyun let out a sigh of relief, glared at her daughter, and walked downstairs.
Kang Shaoxi stuck out his tongue and followed his mother downstairs.
The first night in the Kang family villa was undoubtedly a painful ordeal for Yu Xiao. If her family didn't owe the Kang family anything, she might have left without hesitation and never returned to this place. But unfortunately, her family owed the Kang family too much, and she didn't even have the confidence to leave.
In the evening, Kang Shaonan finally called. Listening to his familiar and warm voice, tears of grievance began to well up in my eyes.
"Baby, my phone ran out of battery on the way back. I just got home. Tell me the truth, did you miss your husband?" Kang Shaonan's magnetic baritone came over, and Yu Xiao could imagine that his face must be sunny now.
"Hmm..." Yu Xiao answered with a choked throat, trying not to let Kang Shaonan hear that he was different. He had only been away for a few hours, and if he told him the truth, he would definitely be worried about him, right
"Tell me, what happened? Talk to your husband?" When he turned on the phone, he saw several calls from Yu Xiao. Kang Shaonan was worried that something might have happened to her in the villa.
"You've only been gone for a few hours, what could have happened to me? I just wanted to tell you... the clothes you bought for me are so pretty!" Yu Xiao sniffed and answered while looking at the handbag not far away. (To be continued)
