Seven hours after Xiao Jiu was thrown out of the house, Xu Ke Xin and Wen Ting Xue returned from school.
They habitually called out from the entryway, "Xiao Jiu, Sister's back, where are you hiding and sleeping again?"
Xiao Jiu was very lazy, especially so in winter.
Under normal circumstances, it rarely greeted anyone at the door.
Unless it saw something it liked to eat, it would wait at the door for people to return.
Trying to get delicious food by acting cute.
However, as soon as the little creature heard someone calling, it would quickly descend from whatever it had climbed.
"Strange."
Wen Ting Xue changed her shoes but still couldn't see the little creature.
Frowning, she got up, "Could it have run out to play?"
Xu Ke Xin, unwilling to believe it, called out a couple more times, still with no response.
The two instantly panicked and quickly changed their shoes, preparing to go out.
Just then, there was a sound from the second floor, like the wheels of a suitcase rolling on the floor.
"Who?!"
Wen Ting Xue's gaze sharply fixed on the stairwell leading to the second floor.
Xu Ke Xin instinctively stood in front of Wen Ting Xue, her eyes wary.
The next second, two figures appeared in their line of sight. Xu Ke Xin frowned, "Who are you?"
Wen Ting Xue's face darkened, "Who let you in?"
"Oh, you're quite full of yourself now."
Wen Qing came down with a suitcase, acting as if she were at home, and ordered:
"Your brother and I are staying here for a while, and your brother took a look around.
"He thought the room opposite yours was nice, so..."
She kicked the packed suitcase and said arrogantly:
"Whose things are these? Pack them up and get out.
"Don't think any Tom, Dick, or Harry can live here!"
Wen Ting Xue grabbed the suitcase that had almost fallen, her face extremely grim as she gritted her teeth.
"Who allowed you to touch Ke Xin's things? You should be the ones to get out of this house!"
"Wen Ting Xue!"
Wen Lin Feng, who had been eyeing Xu Ke Xin with ill intent, finally lost his temper and said:
"What the hell are you shouting about here?
"You've been in Jiang Cheng for a while, and you really think you're a young lady of status?!
"Don't forget, back in Lu Cheng, you were just my little maid!
"If I tell you to go east, you don't dare go west. It's the same now!"
He pointed at Wen Ting Xue, who was walking towards him, and commanded as usual:
"Go, tell your friend to pack up the rest of her things, or I'll make you pay!"
"Perhaps I should make you pay first?"
Wen Ting Xue's face was chillingly cold as she stopped in front of Wen Lin Feng, slowly moving her wrists.
"Oh? You want to fight?"
Wen Lin Feng didn't take her small stature seriously at all.
He said impatiently, "What the hell are you so much... Ahhh!"
A sudden over-the-shoulder throw sent Wen Lin Feng out with a pig-like shriek.
His arm had been dislocated.
Wen Ting Xue did it on purpose.
She even deliberately dislocated his other arm, along with his foul mouth.
Wen Qing watched from the side, dumbfounded. By the time she reacted, Wen Ting Xue had already blocked her path.
Looking down, she said expressionlessly, "If you don't want the same fate.
"Now, immediately, right away, put things back where they belong.
"Otherwise, you and your son will suffer more pain and hardship than you are now."
Before coming, Wen Qing and Wen Lin Feng had been told by Wen Zhong Yi.
That Wen Ting Xue was different now and was no longer easy to bully.
They were warned to be careful.
But they had treated her as a menial servant for so many years.
How could they easily believe Wen Zhong Yi's nonsense?
Who would have thought...
Wen Qing looked at the demonic figure in front of her, who seemed to have crawled out of hell.
She swallowed with lingering fear, "I... I..."
Due to the intense shock, her throat could not produce a sound.
"What?" she asked in the same emotionless tone.
As if she could knife him at any second, "You're unwilling?"
She slightly lifted her eyelids, fixing a venomous gaze like a snake on Wen Qing.
Wen Qing's head tightened, and she immediately stopped caring about anything else.
She quickly shouldered the suitcase and bolted upstairs.
Afraid that if she was a second slower, her arms and legs would be dislocated.
Xu Ke Xin walked up to Wen Ting Xue, just blocking Wen Lin Feng's view.
She said in a low voice, praising, "Not bad~ At least it's eight parts like the real thing."
Wen Ting Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I can only say the impression was deep."
Wen Bin had stewed her duck.
She would absolutely not let this matter go.
Therefore, during this period, she had Yu Wen Li beat up Wen Bin about three times.
Twice of those were his own fault.
She had only intended to beat him up once, but he had to provoke her.
Not only did he not come to apologize for the duck,
but he also cursed, saying her duck had run away, and it deserved to be stewed.
In a fit of anger, she beat him twice more.
Although Wen Bin still refused to apologize,
she suddenly remembered Yu Wen Li's threatening demeanor when forcing Wen Bin to apologize.
If that could make a lunatic like Wen Bin show fear...
It should be even more effective if used on Wen Qing.
As expected, she had fled in a panic.
Three minutes later, Xiao Jiu's ordeal was also extracted from Wen Lin Feng.
"Despicable!"
Wen Ting Xue dislocated his jaw again.
Wen Lin Feng was in too much pain to cry out, only able to lie on the ground and twitch.
"Where are you two going?"
Just as they reached the door, Wen Zhong En and Yu Xiu Xiu returned.
Seeing their flustered expressions, they asked instinctively.
"Mom, Xiao Jiu..."
Before she could finish speaking, they saw the Wen family of three behind Wen Zhong En, and Xiao Jiu in Madam Wen's arms.
The commotion downstairs reached upstairs, and Wen Qing immediately ran down in tears.
She tearfully accused Wen Ting Xue of her brutality.
"Brother, sister-in-law, we worked hard to come from Lu Cheng.
"We wanted to discuss Mom's matters with you. We'll be staying for a while.
"But Little Xue, for an outsider, look..."
She pointed at Wen Lin Feng, who was still drooling on the ground, and cried,
"No matter what, Xiao Feng is her brother. How could she treat him like this? And for an..."
"Enough!"
Wen Zhong En interrupted impatiently, his tone extremely heavy.
Wen Qing secretly smiled while wiping her tears.
She knew her elder brother would definitely side with them.
After all, they were the real family, and who was that little girl to them?
Why should she live in such a good room?
What's more, that little vixen had hit her son!
Such a rebellious act, how could her elder brother not be angry!
Hmph!
She would definitely make her elder brother beat that ungrateful little vixen soundly later!
Just as Wen Qing was fantasizing about good things, Wen Zhong En said with annoyance:
"That room was prepared for Ke Xin.
"Your act of banditry deserved to be beaten!"
Wen Qing: "......?"
This wasn't right.
Wasn't the one who should be scolded that little slut?
Why was it her?
Wen Zhong En saw through Wen Qing's thoughts and gave his daughter a thumbs-up.
"Well done, but then..."
His tone suddenly shifted, giving Wen Qing a glimmer of hope.
But it was crushed to pieces in the next second.
"If there are any more shameless people like this in the future, bring them outside to be beaten, so as not to implicate Aunt Fang."
"Okay, Dad. I'll be careful next time."
Wen Ting Xue agreed readily.
Wen Qing: "..."
"Brother, you...!"
Seeing Wen Zhong En indulging his daughter excessively and disregarding her son's life or death,
Wen Qing was about to make a scene, but Wen Zhong En directly roared:
"Say one more word, and don't come here again!"
Wen Qing was startled, and Father Wen quickly said, "My little sister is ignorant, please excuse us, Mr. Wen."
Everyone: "???"
You are siblings?!
Father Wen explained awkwardly, "She was pampered by her parents since she was young.
"Her personality is spoiled and willful, and our relationship is not close."
Later, their parents died of illness, and they completely fell out over the family inheritance.
They hadn't been in contact for a long time until recently, due to Wen Bin's matter, they reconnected.
"Xiao Qing, say something quickly!"
Father Wen anxiously signaled to Wen Qing.
Wen Qing's expression stiffened as she dodged his gaze.
Although she had set up this situation,
she didn't dare to control Wen Ting Xue now.
Moreover, Wen Zhong En and Yu Xiu Xiu were sitting there, what could she say?
Madam Wen couldn't wait any longer and blurted it all out.
"I know A Bin did wrong, so we brought him here today.
"We just want him to apologize, but..."
She looked at Wen Ting Xue, who was still playing on her phone with her head down, her expression sheepish.
"Miss Wen, could you trouble yourself to ask Young Master Yu to let A Bin off?
"Look, how badly A Bin has been beaten recently..."
Madam Wen's voice choked.
Wen Ting Xue looked up. She knew Wen Bin's face was swollen like a pig's head.
There probably wasn't a good spot on his body.
But this was purely his own doing.
It was already good that Yu Wen Li hadn't continued to trouble him.
But he insisted on going out of his way to get hurt.
Wen Bin met Wen Ting Xue's gaze and said emotionlessly, "Where is the grave? I will kneel and apologize in person."
Wen Ting Xue: "?"
Had he changed his ways?
She took him to a small mound in the backyard. Without a word, he knelt and apologized very sincerely.
Wen Ting Xue: "??"
"I don't need you to say anything to Yu Wen Li. You just need to remember that Little Yi Jie is sincere towards you."
Wen Bin stood up and said this out of the blue.
Then he disappeared.
Wen Ting Xue looked in the direction he left, a little lost in thought.
He hadn't budged even after being beaten so many times by her and Yu Wen Li, but Xie Jin Yi's phone call made him kneel.
He was truly... a lunatic.
Wen Qing and Wen Lin Feng staying here was unequivocally rejected by Wen Zhong En.
Having no other choice, the two had to take their luggage and shamefully go to a hotel.
Wen Ting Xue was relieved that Xiao Jiu was found by Madam Wen, otherwise...
She didn't dare to think further, but the feud between the Wen and Wen families ended here.
The first snow of the New Year fell on the tenth.
As Wen Ting Xue came out of the copy shop, snowflakes blew in her face.
It was chilling and cold.
She couldn't help but pull her scarf up.
Then she tilted her head to look at the falling snow.
"What a coincidence~ Yi Yi sister."
A lazy and alluring voice came from behind her, carrying his unique sexiness.
"Hm?"
Wen Ting Xue turned back in surprise. Her camel-colored scarf, which covered half her face, made her eyes appear even more delicate and beautiful.
She looked like a girl from a comic, every smile and frown tugging at people's heartstrings.
Chi Ze Rui was momentarily stunned, until he heard her ask, "Why are you here?"
"Waiting for someone, but I was stood up."
Of course, he couldn't say he saw her and came specifically.
"Huh??"
The little girl's eyes widened in disbelief, looking adorably naive.
"You get stood up too?"
It was truly rare, this must be karma.
Chi Ze Rui smiled and asked, "Where are you going now?"
"To buy medicine."
"Are you sick?" his tone suddenly intensified, revealing the extent of his concern.
However, Wen Ting Xue didn't notice and explained, "It's not me, it's Brother Yu.
"I don't know what's wrong, but he suddenly developed a fever of thirty-nine degrees.
"We don't have any medicine at home, so I'm going out to print my admission ticket and get some medicine on the way back."
Everyone knew that Yu Wen Li disliked injections.
Chi Ze Rui thought for a moment with a grave expression, "I know a pharmacy he often goes to, I'll take you."
"Thank you." Wen Ting Xue's eyes lit up.
Chi Ze Rui smiled, "Given how sweet your words were just now."
Wen Ting Xue: "..."
"But I'm not riding my bike today."
Chi Ze Rui put the car key he was about to pull out back into his pocket and said,
"It's not that far, can we walk?"
He selfishly thought that sharing the snow with her today would be like growing old together.
