"Sister Zhao Ru."

I heard the person behind me calling my name again.

Zhao Ru clutched her clothes tightly and turned around slowly, with obvious uneasiness and anxiety on her face, as if she felt a little embarrassed and uncomfortable about her current situation and her own transformation.

When she raised her eyes and saw Xu Zhoujiao, who was still radiant across from her.

The whole person was in a trance for a moment again.

At this moment.

The inferiority and timidity in Zhao Ru's eyes reached its peak in an instant.

In this long and heavy silence.

Zhao Ru clutched her clothes tightly, and the joints of her fingers turned slightly white from excessive force.

at the same time.

The corners of her mouth slowly formed a bitter smile, which was filled with endless bitterness and pain, just like a cup of bitter tea that was brewed too strong, making it difficult to swallow.

After Zhao Ru had prepared herself mentally for a while.

She stared at Xu Zhoujiao's face and asked cautiously in a voice as light as a mosquito:

"Jiaojiao, when did you come back?"

The words just left his mouth.

The rumors circulating in the community suddenly flashed through Zhao Ru's mind.

This made my already uneasy heart even more nervous.

So, she added hastily, incoherently:

"Oh yes!"

"You came back last night, I...I heard everyone talking about it when I went out to buy groceries this morning!"

Although Zhao Ru tried her best to control her speech speed and expression, and not to let the cowardice and anxiety in her heart show, she still couldn't hide the hoarseness and weakness in her trembling voice.

Xu Zhoujiao watched quietly, the person in front of her...

Zhao Ru, who used to live a carefree and unrestrained life, has now become the inferior and cowardly wife of the Chen family.

It was as if that brave girl who dared to love and hate had already had all her edges smoothed out by the vicissitudes of life.

All of a sudden.

Xu Zhoujiao didn't know how to explain to Zhao Ru the purpose of her trip.

Just as Xu Zhoujiao and Zhao Ru looked at each other, neither of them knew how to break the awkward and heavy atmosphere.

Suddenly, a roar of cursing sounded outside the door. The voice was rude and angry, filled with resentment and dissatisfaction.

"What a damn bad luck!"

"I went to all the bars in the city early in the morning, but I didn't see any open."

"These shop owners, instead of doing business in broad daylight, all ran to the Xu family's ancestral home to see the City God!"

As the sound gradually approached.

Xuzhou Jiao's eyes flashed.

He hid in the wide courtyard together with the little rabbit behind him and the old woman who had fainted.

After a while.

I saw a burly man with a face full of flesh and extremely shabby clothes striding into the courtyard.

He held an empty bamboo basket in one hand and had the other hand on his waist.

He was indignant and yelled:

"Humph!"

"Even if the youngest child of the Xu family can become an immortal or a god, so what?"

"It has nothing to do with ordinary people like us!"

"But some people just love to join in the fun, like a group of headless flies, trying to flatter others!"

Speaking of this

He even spat on the ground fiercely.

"The results of it?"

"I worked so hard to make this whole basket of tofu, but I couldn't even sell a single piece!"

"If it weren't on the way back."

"I met a kind-hearted young lady who bought all my tofu."

"Then our whole family will all be starving for the next two days!"

Say it.

The sloppy man became more and more angry as he thought about it, and he threw the bamboo basket in his hand heavily to the ground.

There was a dull sound.

Then, he slowly raised his head and looked straight at Zhao Ru who was standing alone in the courtyard.

Just at this moment.

He felt the rage burning in his heart, as if a bucket of hot oil had been poured on it, becoming increasingly out of control!

The sloppy man suddenly rushed forward a few steps and grabbed Zhao Ru's slender arm tightly.

He kept cursing loudly:

"You shameless bitch!"

"Let me ask you, did you know early in the morning that the damned short-lived guy from the Xu family had returned?"

"what?"

When I thought about it, I felt like a fool, circling around the entire city of Xuzhou.

But still found nothing.

The sloppy man's anger instantly reached its peak.

He raised his hand without hesitation.

He was ready to give Zhao Ru a heavy slap in the face as usual, so that she would also have a taste of his own pain.

However, just at the moment when his palm was raised.

Suddenly, a sharp and piercing pain came from his arm.

The sloppy man felt the pain and subconsciously withdrew his arm quickly.

Then, take a closer look.

Without any warning, he saw rows of fine blood beads appearing on his strong arms. These blood beads flowed down his arms, forming a series of bright red streams.

The tiny blood hole and the shocking injury looked like...

The rattan stick that his mother often uses!

Zhao Ru, who had seen the whole process of the sloppy man getting injured, slowly turned her gaze to Xu Zhoujiao who was standing next to the sloppy man.

A look of undisguised contempt gradually emerged on Xu Zhoujiao's cold and indifferent face.

He was staring coldly at the sloppy man in front of him who had no idea what was going on.

It was as if looking at an insignificant ant.

In her hand, she was holding the rattan stick left by the old woman.

And the meaning in the eyes is very obvious.

As long as this sloppy man dares to act rashly again, she will definitely make him realize what it means to be worse off than dead.

The sloppy man stared at his inexplicable wound, with a hint of confusion and astonishment in his eyes.

After a while.

Maybe he thought of something.

The sloppy man slowly raised his head and looked around the empty courtyard.

Then, with a sinister and terrifying smile on his face, he stretched out a dirty hand and pulled Zhao Ru's slender arm hard.

"Haha, I understand!"

"It must be that short-lived kid from the Xu family who has been here!"

"how?"

"Is she here on behalf of that fool Xuzhou He to see what kind of life you're leading?"

The words have not yet fallen.

The sloppy man exerted his strength to close the distance between himself and Zhao Ru in an instant. His bloodshot eyes were fixed firmly on Zhao Ru's slightly bulging belly.

"Did you tell her then?"

"Back then, her brother was waiting outside the city, hoping that you could go and fulfill your promise."

"And yet you are here, loving me so deeply!"
