He was being way too calm.
âLi Shaoling, she is your former fiancée for better or worse. Donât you feel anything?â
Li Shaolingâs drowsy eyes looked upset then. âI only feel for you.â
Caught by his charm in the middle of the night, Ji Weixi turned away, blushing. âIâm ignoring you.â
She got off the bed.
âYouâre going to see her?â
Ji Weixi nodded.
Li Shaoling lowered his eyes for a moment, thinking.
âIâm going too,â he said.
âWhy?â
âTo enjoy the show.â
Pfft.
She was thinking the same thing.
Both of them were going to watch Ji Jianingâs suicide drama.
Ji Weixi watched Li Shaoling as he dressed up, and then at the little one who was sound asleep worriedly. âWhat about Jiayu?â
âIâll have Jiang Cong come over.â
Ji Weixi quietly mourned a second for Jiang Cong.
Itâs hard being an assistant these days.

Outside the emergency room of a certain hospital in River Town.
Unable to find a parking spot, Li Shaoling told Ji Weixi, âYou should get off first. Iâll keep looking around.â
Ji Weixi nodded and left the car.
There were sounds of sobbing in the clean but dim long corridors, and the white lights were slightly nauseating.
Ji Weixiâs shoes tapped faintly on the floor.
She found Zhou Huijie crying in Ji Xiangdongâs arms, but she looked up and immediately got on her feet when she saw Ji Weixiâs face. She quickly rushed towards her, her hand raised and about to swing down on her cheek.
Reacting quickly, Ji Weixi caught her wrist and laughed coldly. âWhat? Are you blaming me for Ji Jianing killing herself?â
Irritated that she didnât get her slap, Zhou Huijie shook her off and yelled, âYou bitch! Youâve already left four years ago, so why did you come back!? You are the reason Jianing was abandoned on her engagement and fired by her company, are you happy now that she tried to kill herself?!â
Ji Weixiâs remembered her childhood the moment she heard the word âbitchâ.
She remembered Ji Xiangdong hooking up with Zhou Huijie even before he divorced her mother, and how impatient she had been to marry into their family after her mother died.
And she was keeping a straight face calling someone else a bitch?
âBut I canât find anyone as bitchy as you are over the whole wide world, especially after how long youâve been Ji Xiangdongâs mistress.â Ji Weixi coolly mocked.
Zhou Huijieâs expression turned hideous. âSay that again!â
âAm I wrong?â Ji Weixi smiled. âYouâre a bitch, your daughter is a bitch, which proves that bitchiness is a gene thing. Ji Jianing got what she deserved, and donât try to blame me for your daughterâs ruined engagement. Sheâs the mistress, chronological speaking.â
After all, she was already with Li Shaoling four years ago.
Unable to keep listening to it all, Ji Xiangdong walked to them and took Zhou Huijie into his arms while glaring at Ji Weixi angrily.
âWhat are you talking about!? Havenât you hurt your sister enough?! Will you only be satisfied if she dies?!â
Ji Xiangdongâs face was red with rage, and it caught Ji Weixi off guard for a moment.
She remembered how it made her upset when Zhou Huijie rose as the mistress of their household after her mother died years ago.
There was a time when she stood against Zhou Huijie, and that was the same look when Ji Xiangdong hit her and scolded her in anger.
That look seemed to say: Why canât you listen to me? Why canât you just endure?
Despite her obstinance, Ji Weixi had always been on the losing end since a child.
Still, she did not have the strength to either resist or seek revenge.
Now that she was older, she suddenly realized that adults could never change their attitude.
The only one who could change was herself.
