195 Chapter 194, It Was That Woman Who Seduced Him
âAuntie, come home with me. My Dad wonât hurt Jingyi.â Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan quickly went forward and held Hu Chunliâs hand. âLetâs talk when we get home!â
Hu Chunli followed Ji Yuanyuan back home.
Zhang Kun opened the door and Li Xu looked up. âWhen Jingyiâs mom is homeâ¦â
Before she could finish, Li Xu suddenly stood up from the sofa. She looked at Hu Chunli in surprise. âWhat happened?â
When they reached home, Zhang Kun put down Yang Jingyi, who had been struggling to find her mother.
Yang Jingyi ran to Hu Chunliâs side and the mother and daughter hugged each other.
Ji Yuanyuan was the last to enter. She turned around and closed the door.
Zhang Kun walked to Li Xuâs side and whispered what he had just seen into her ear.
The more Li Xu Heard, the more surprised she became.
She put down the wool in her hand and went forward to hold Hu Chunliâs hand. âSister, you can stay with me tonight. He wonât dare to look for you!â
Hu Chunli looked at Li Xu and said with tears, âThank you!â
Li Xu asked again, âHave you eaten?â
Hu Chunli shook her head.
Li Xu immediately looked at Zhang Kun. âGo make her something to eat. Iâll talk to her!â
Zhang Kun went to the kitchen, and Li Xu pulled Hu Chunli to sit down on the sofa.
Seeing that Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziâang were watching at the bedroom door, Li Xu leaned over and said to Yang Jingyi in a gentle voice, âJingyi, be good. Go play with Yuanyuan and the others. Iâll talk to your mother, Okay?â
Yang Jingyi was frightened. She held Hu Chunliâs hand and refused to let go.
Hu Chunli took a deep breath and patted Yang Jingyiâs back gently. âJingyi, be a good girl. Mommy will talk to Auntie here. Can you go play with Yuanyuan for a while?â
Yang Jingyi still shook her head. âNo!â
Seeing this, Ji Ziâang returned to his room and rummaged through the cabinets for his snacks and toys. He held them in front of Yang Jingyi and said, âLook, I have a lot of toys and snacks for you!â
Yang Jingyi did not even raise her head. She was still sobbing in Hu Chunliâs arms.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly pulled Ji Ziâang back to his room. âAlright, Second Brother, letâs go do our homework and stop bothering her!â
Ji Ziâang wanted to say something else, but Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zixuan worked together to pull him back to his bedroom from the living room.
After closing the door, Ji Ziâang asked in confusion, âWhat happened to Yang Jingyi and Auntie Hu? How did she get hurt?â
Ji Yuanyuan said in a whisper, âHer husband beat her. Itâs fine as long as you know about it. Donât tell anyone else and donât say anything in front of Jingyi, okay?â
Ji Ziâang was a curious boy. If she did not tell him, he might ask around. It would be bad if he said the wrong thing.
She might as well tell him directly so he would not be eaten by curiosity and he could pay more attention to his words later.
Ji Zixuan nodded. âGot it.â
Ji Ziâang nodded before he said indignantly, âWhy is Jingyiâs father so bad? He even hit his own wife and child?â
Speaking of which, although Ji Jianguo was a jerk, he would only slap Ji Ziâang whenever he was naughty.
No matter how much he despised and ordered Li Xu around, he had never hit her.
Later on, when Li Xu met Zhang Kun, their relationship was like honey mixed with oil. Not to mention hitting each other, they had never even shouted at each other.
Therefore, domestic violence was very inconceivable in Ji Ziangâs eyes.
In the living room, although Li Xu was a little hesitant, she still asked in a low voice, âWhat do you plan to do? Should I call the police?â
Although the one who hit her was the childâs father, looking at the wounds on Hu Chunliâs body, the other party did not show any mercy.
When Hu Chunli heard this, she shook her head with a face full of fear, âNo, you canât call the police, you canât call the policeâ¦â
This answer was already within Li Xuâs expectations. From Hu Chunliâs expression, she could also see some clues.
Zhang Kun thought that in Hu Chunliâs current situation, there was an 80% chance that she would not be in the mood to eat, so he simply made a noodle.
When it was served on the table, it was just as Zhang Kun had expected. Even though Li Xu tried to persuade her, Hu Chunli only ate two mouthfuls before she put down her chopsticks.
Seeing that she really couldnât eat, Li Xu didnât continue to persuade her.
Zhang Kun cleared the bowls and chopsticks, then took off his apron and whispered to Li Xu, âThen Iâll go back first. If you need anything, just call me!â
Li Xu nodded, and Zhang Kun quickly left.
Only Hu Chunli and Li Xu were left in the living room.
âBig Sister, I really envy you! You met a good man. I donât have such a good life!â As Hu Chunli spoke, two more lines of tears flowed down her face.
Thinking of Yang Junying, she couldnât help but cover her face and sob.
Li Xu didnât say anything. She just let out a long sigh, then reached her hand to stroked Hu Chunliâs back slowly.
It was only when Hu Chunli was almost done venting did she open her mouth and say, âI got married at the age of 20 and gave birth to Zixuan at the age of 21. At that time, I was indeed living a good life. My husband was a university graduate and had a good job. The salary was high and he was good-looking. He treated me well too. At that time, all the girls in the village envied me. They envied me for marrying into a good family.â
Thinking of the past, Li Xuâs face had a calm smile.
It was as if she was laughing at her previous naivety.
âBut after Ziâang was born, his true nature was gradually exposed. Only then did I know that I had fallen into a scam. His salary was high, but he brought the money home. Every time I asked him for a penny, he wanted to find out what the money was for.
He also never coaxed children. He only hug Ziâang and Yuanyuan a few times. In the end, he didnât even go home. I was alone with three children, and I still had to farm. How difficult it was for me at that time!â
Li Xu chuckled, but Hu Chunli gradually stopped crying and listened to her words.
âI really couldnât stand it anymore, so I proposed a divorce, and he readily agreed. Later, I found out that his mistress outside had long been pregnant. When I proposed a divorce, he was more than happy to agree.â
Li Xu looked at Hu Chunli, she asked in a low voice, âAfter hearing all this, do you still think that my life is good? Life is made up of our choices. I had nothing at that time, and now I have my own shop. I even married Zhang Kun. Wasnât it because I earn my good life?â
...
How could a person with a good life encounter all these things that happened to her?
Hu Chunli did not say anything and only muttered, âYang Junying used to be very good. He was different from your ex-husband. Ever since Jingyi was born, he has always been involved in everything. He gives me a lot of money every month. I can buy whatever I want. Heâs just been under too much pressure recently. Heâ¦â
She tried her best to find excuses for Yang Junying. âIt was that woman who seduced him. That woman seduced him.
