Chapter 901: Just Get Through It
Jiang Jie looked up and saw a handsome face.
That face looked expressionless, but there was some pain in his hazel eyes. Jiang Jie’s chest hurt from Jiang Wei’s painful gaze. “…Brother.” Jiang Jie called him brother. After that, she realized that her voice was filled with tears.
Jiang Wei turned his head and looked elsewhere for a while before turning around. At this moment, Jiang Wei’s gaze had already returned to normal, and he was as cold and indifferent as ever. He said, “Take it. This is an emergency contraceptive for 24 hours. You’ll be fine after taking it.”
Jiang Jie bit her lip and took the pill.
How could she be fine?
Even if she was not pregnant, how could the ridiculous things she had experienced tonight be washed away with a few pills?
Jiang Wei found a disposable cup and personally went to get a cup of warm water. He handed the water to Jiang Jie. Jiang Jie held the cup of water and two pills in her hand. She opened her lips and took a sip of warm water. When she brought the pills to her mouth, Jiang Jie suddenly said, “I won’t do this again.” With that, she threw the pills into her mouth and drank them in one gulp.
Jiang Wei looked at his sister’s teary eyes and was silent for a moment before saying, “That’s good too.”
That night, the Jiang siblings did not go home.
The next morning, the two of them rushed to the police station to make a statement. At this time, the two of them had already confessed their crimes. The two people who had committed the crime were the children of the w.a.n.g family and the branch family of the Jiang family.
When they heard the two of them tell the reason for their crime, Jiang Jie and Jiang Wei fell silent at the same time.
Who could they blame?
They were indeed guilty, but it was also wrong of Jiang Jie, who usually did not love herself and always stayed in the bar until late at night.
Neither of them said anything when they walked out of the police station.
“Take my car back.”
Jiang Wei pulled Jiang Jie into his car.
When the car was about to reach home, Jiang Wei heard Jiang Jie say, “Don’t let Mom and Dad know what happened last night.” In this family, she had to be compared to her brother everywhere. Her parents were not very satisfied with her to begin with. After what happened last night, they would probably be even more disappointed in her.
Jiang Wei nodded coldly.
When they returned home, they were stunned to see Mother Jiang dozing off on the sofa in her pajamas.
Did she not return to her room the entire night?
This realization almost made Jiang Jie break down and cry.
The sound of the siblings changing their shoes and entering the house woke Mother Jiang.
“You’re back?” Mother Jiang stood up and walked towards them. Last night, she had called the two children, but she could not get through each time. Her heart was in a mess, so she did not sleep well the entire night. Seeing them return, Mother Jiang’s heart finally relaxed.
The siblings stood at the same spot and did not take another step. They only looked at their mother in silence, feeling guilty.
Mother Jiang asked them with a cold expression, “What happened last night? You didn’t pick up the phone!”
Just as Jiang Jie was about to explain, Jiang Wei suddenly said in a deep voice, “Last night, a friend of mine came back from overseas. We haven’t seen each other in a long time. We were chatting happily for a while and forgot about it. Coincidentally, Xiao Jie was also in the bar. It was late, so I brought her out to stay for the night. I didn’t notice that her phone was out of battery.”
With that, Jiang Wei looked up at Mother Jiang.
Seeing Mother Jiang’s worried expression, Jiang Wei sighed in his heart and tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened. He apologized to Mother Jiang, “Sorry, Mom. I won’t be so careless in the future.”
Jiang Wei had always been a sensible person. Mother Jiang did not expect this child to lie.
Mother Jiang naturally believed whatever Jiang Wei said.
She did not scold them anymore and only said, “In the future, even if your phone runs out of battery, you have to call home using the landline. Don’t make your father and me worry.”
“…Okay.” The siblings said this at the same time.
Jiang Wei still felt bad, so he walked to the sofa and sat down, chatting with Mother Jiang. Jiang Jie looked upstairs and thought that she had not taken a shower since last night. She could not help but feel disgusted. “Mom and Brother, you guys chat first. I’ll go back to my room to take a shower.”
Seeing that she had not changed her clothes, Mother Jiang thought that she had not showered last night, so she revealed a look of disdain. “Hurry up and shower. I can smell the odor from so far away.”
In the past, if she heard such words, Jiang Jie would definitely argue with Mother Jiang. However, today, Jiang Jie seemed to have changed into a different person. Not only did she not argue with Mother Jiang, she even ran over and hugged her solemnly. Madam Jiang was stunned when her daughter hugged her.
She did not push Jiang Jie away and started to complain. “You’re not a child. Why are you like a child who needs milk? Let go quickly. It’s so tight that I can’t breathe.”
Only then did Jiang Jie let go of Mother Jiang.
She gave Jiang Wei a look, reminding him not to say anything wrong. After settling everything, Jiang Jie quickly went upstairs.
After returning to her bedroom, Jiang Jie took off her clothes and put them in a storage bag before throwing them into the bin. These things made her feel disgusted. Jiang Jie soaked herself in the bathtub and wrapped her body in warm water. Jiang Jie raised her head and the image of her brother’s face filled with anger and heartache flashed across her mind when she woke up in the middle of the night last night.
Why was she so careless?
After taking a shower, Jiang Wei put on a set of clean clothes. She sat by the window, feeling sad. For a moment, Jiang Jie actually had the thought of strangling herself with a rope. However, the moment this thought appeared, it was cut off.
She could not court death!
…
After Lu Lingyu left the hotel, Fang Yuqing called Fang Yu’an and informed him to pick her up.
Fang Yuqing packed her things and was about to leave the hotel when she saw a new message from WeChat. Fang Yuqing opened WeChat and saw an unfamiliar profile picture. If not for the name, Fang Yuqing would not have known who sent her a WeChat message.
It was Jiang Jie.
When she was still Jiang Jie’s future sister-in-law, Jiang Jie had once added her on WeChat. However, the two of them did not get along and had no topics to talk about. They had added each other on WeChat for many years but had never chatted before.
Stunned, Fang Yuqing opened the dialog box and saw Jiang Jie’s message.
Jiang Jie: [When you’re disheartened and feel that life is meaningless, what do you do?]
These words made Fang Yuqing’s heart skip a beat.
Was she going to do something stupid?
Fang Yuqing quickly replied: [Don’t do anything stupid. There’s no hurdle in the world that you can’t overcome.]
Jiang Jie: [How did you survive back then?]
How did Fang Yuqing survive?
That was really a life worse than death. Now that she thought about it, she felt that it was really not easy for her. Fang Yuqing thought about it and replied: [Take your time. In the end, either you win or you lose. Just endure it.]
Fang Yuqing was worried about Jiang Jie. She felt that she wanted to die by saying this. She quickly contacted Jiang Wei and asked him to see Jiang Jie’s condition. Jiang Wei hung up the phone and went upstairs. He suddenly pushed open the door and saw Jiang Jie sitting by the bed with her legs outside the window. He was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating.
