C828 I Just Wanted to Call You a Few More Times
The first thing she did when she realized what was going on was to use her phone to call the number overseas. However, no matter how many times Jian Xi called, no one answered. This made Jian Xi's heart sink.
At this moment, Jian Xi did not know if she should believe Gufeng's words.
However, Gufeng was hubby Qu's right-hand man. She had been in contact with people related to hubby Qu. Except for Mrs Zhang, Gufeng was the only one. Every time something happened, it was Gufeng who solved it. What he said should have some credibility, right?
However, at this moment, Jian Xi did not know whether she should cry or laugh when she suddenly received such news. To her and Qu Yichen, was it good news or bad news?
Mrs Zhang came back from buying groceries and saw Jian Xi sitting on the sofa. Jian Xi greeted Jian Xi but she did not seem to hear it. She shouted again but there was still no reaction. Thinking about what she might be thinking about, Mrs Zhang did not disturb Jian Xi's contemplation anymore. She carried the dishes into the kitchen.
She busied herself in the kitchen preparing dinner. When she came out, she saw that Jian Xi was still the same as when she came in. It was as if she had never moved. Mrs Zhang could not help but feel a little worried. She did not care if Jian Xi was thinking about something important and walked over. She called Jian Xi's name.
After shouting a few times, Jian Xi finally reacted and looked at her.
"Dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now?"
"Okay!"
When Jian Xi wanted to stand up, she realized that her legs were numb. She just sat there and became numb! Fortunately, it was not a big problem. After rubbing it a few times, it became much more relaxed.
While eating at the dining table, Jian Xi absent-mindedly ate without taking a bite. Seeing that Jian Xi only ate and did not eat, Mrs Zhang was very worried. Walking into the kitchen, she took out a pair of clean chopsticks. She stood by the side and continuously picked up food for Jian Xi to eat more. Jian Xi was also stunned for a long time before she realized that Mrs Zhang was standing by the side and continuously picking food for her.
"Mrs Zhang, you sit and rest. You don't need to help me get food. I will do it myself." Jian Xi said with some embarrassment. She was just thinking about the relationship between hubby Qu and Qu Yichen. What should she do? She was too absorbed in her thoughts and did not notice what was happening around her.
"It's fine! I'm just cooking and cleaning every day. I'm not tired at all." Mrs Zhang said unwillingly. She was worried that she would only eat plain white rice if she did not get food for Jian Xi. Her originally not fat body became even thinner.
Jian Xi could not persuade Mrs Zhang and could only eat quickly. The speed was too fast and Mrs Zhang by the side kept persuading Jian Xi to slow down and not eat so fast.
After dinner, Jian Xi also made a decision in her heart. No matter what, she and hubby Qu had an important choice between them and Qu Yichen!
She was bought by hubby Qu with money. Before hubby Qu got tired of her, hubby Qu would never let go of her, not to mention that her father was still in hubby Qu's hands. As for Qu Yichen, he was a good man. He should be able to get a better woman than her. He should not suffer because of her.
Even if she thought so, Jian Xi could not let go of him just like that. All along, Qu Yichen had left a deep mark in her heart. It was not so easy to get rid of him.
Recalling what Qu Yichen had told her before, Jian Xi ultimately did not make a decision on the spot. Or rather, she did not have the courage to tell Qu Yichen about the decision in her heart. Instead, she anxiously waited for the news that Qu Yichen had brought her, regardless of whether it was good or bad news. Jian Xi had already thought about it. Even though she had thought it through, Jian Xi's mood did not relax in the slightest.
The next night, Jian Xi finally received Qu Yichen's call. The anxiety from before had unexpectedly disappeared the moment she received the call from Qu Yichen. Jian Xi seemed to have been prepared for the news that Qu Yichen was about to give her.
"Jian Xi, I'm sorry!" Qu Yichen said to Jian Xi with a choking voice.
With a simple apology, Jian Xi knew that Qu Yichen and the others had failed. Even through the phone, Jian Xi could feel Qu Yichen's deep guilt towards her. But he did not need to feel any guilt towards her. He had already done enough.
"It's fine! I have long thought of this result!" Jian Xi comforted Qu Yichen.
"I'm sorry. It was all because I was not capable that I fell into their trap." Qu Yichen said apologetically. "Initially, everything was prepared, but I didn't expect that we would miss the opportunity. We were almost caught by their men."
Even though it was a simple sentence, Jian Xi could imagine it. She knew how dangerous it was for them today. What made Jian Xi even more surprised was that hubby Qu had already moved her father away. No wonder she could not contact those people overseas.
"I should be the one to apologize. Yesterday, I found out that although that person stopped my father's treatment, he immediately continued to treat my father. He said that stopping for a day did not affect my father."
Jian Xi's words made Qu Yichen, who was on the other end of the phone, frown. This was not a good thing for him and Qu Yichen of Great Tang Group.
"Then, can you contact your father now?"
"I tried yesterday, but I couldn't contact him." Jian Xi replied.
"How could this be?" Qu Yichen muttered.
Although his voice was soft, Jian Xi still heard it. Jian Xi had never thought that things would turn out like this. Fortunately, she had thought of all kinds of possible outcomes yesterday. Now that she knew the worst outcome, it was not particularly unbearable.
Jian Xi had also thought about hubby Qu's abnormal behavior. When she heard Qu Yichen say that hubby Qu had moved her father away, the only thing Jian Xi could think of was... hubby Qu knew that she wanted to escape from him. Escape from his control, and perhaps even the relationship between her and Qu Yichen. He might even know about it. That was why he suddenly suggested holding a wedding. In order to prevent her from escaping, she had even deliberately moved her father away.0
The more Jian Xi thought about it, the more likely it was! She could not help but hold her forehead and let out a long sigh.
In the end, she still couldn't escape from hubby Qu's demonic claws.
Taking a deep breath, Jian Xi still felt extremely uncomfortable about what she was about to say. It was as if she had been cut into pieces by a knife. It was extremely painful, but the matter didn't allow her to drag on any longer.
"Yichen!"
"Yes, of course." Qu Yichen responded.
"Yichen!" Jian Xi called again.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to call you a few more times." Jian Xi said with a bitter smile. "This might be the last time I call you by your name!"
As soon as Jian Xi said the last sentence, Qu Yichen knew what Jian Xi wanted to say. However, he did not expect there to be someone he could use so easily. She actually foolishly let go of him and did not grab him tightly. Instead, she chose the man who treated her coldly and cruelly.
"Don't say it! Don't continue talking." Qu Yichen said with a hint of begging.
Jian Xi could not bear to hear Qu Yichen's voice, which she had never heard before. The words that she had prepared had become so difficult to speak. However, she could not drag this on. Otherwise, it would not end well for anyone.
