The pungent smell of feces in the living room and the sound of the broken glass ashtray finally made the fighting couple stop. They covered their noses and hid in the corner. Ji Keshuang said to Ji Xinyue, "Yueyue, why do you stink so much? Go take a shower right away!"
Mrs. Ji's face was also full of disgust. "It stinks so bad. Did you run all the way home like this? You're such a disgrace to the Ji family!"
"Does the Ji family still have any dignity left?!"
Ji Xinyue roared, then ran upstairs crying. She rushed into the bathroom and used up a whole bottle of body wash, but still couldn't get rid of the stench on her body. Helpless, she had no choice but to spray perfume on herself until her nose was filled with nothing but the smell of perfume.
Just then, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that the caller was "Yuan Ya'er". She quickly answered the call.
"Xinyue, I saw on the entertainment news that you were splashed with feces today. It's on the front page," Yuan Ya'er said.
Hearing her best friend's gentle voice, Ji Xinyue's tears welled up instantly.
"Yaya, Yaya, I'm so sad. I need your comfort, but I can't go out now. As soon as I step out of the house, people will throw feces at me. Can you come to my house to see me? I miss you so much. Waaaaaa..."
She was hoping her best friend would say something comforting, but what Yuan Ya'er said was:
"I'm sorry, Xinyue. I can't come to see you now. You know, my wedding with Yan Zhen is just a few days away. At this time, I can't leave casually. What if something goes wrong? Yan Zhen will be sad."
Ji Xinyue was stunned for a moment and said, "Yaya, do you mean you're trying to distance yourself from me?"
"It's not like that, Xinyue. I know your Ji family is in trouble now, but I'm also at a crucial moment in my life. I'm not trying to distance myself from you. I just want my wedding with Yan Zhen to go smoothly. After we get married, I can ask Yan Zhen to use the power of the Yan family to help the Ji family get through this difficult time, right?"
After hearing this, Ji Xinyue nodded and said, "You're right!"
"So, stay at home obediently these few days and don't run around, okay?" Yuan Ya'er said.
Ji Xinyue said, "Then won't I be able to attend your wedding?"
Yuan Ya'er said, "Xinyue, there's nothing we can do about it."
Ji Xinyue said, "Okay, I understand. I definitely won't disrupt your wedding with Yan Zhen. Yaya, you have to remember what you said today. After the wedding, you have to save me and the Ji family."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Xinyue's expression instantly turned extremely cold. Humph, it sounds nice. For the sake of the wedding? In fact, she's just worried that getting involved with the Ji family will make her lose her engagement with Yan Zhen, right?
However, thinking about her current situation, Ji Xinyue buried her face and cried again.
It's all ruined! She had planned to debut with this opportunity and gradually become a world - famous big star step by step, and then find a chance to get close to Mr. Yan San. Who would have thought that everything would be ruined now! Yuan Ya'er can smoothly become the granddaughter - in - law of the Yan family, while she will never be Mrs. Yan San.
Right! What her brother said made a lot of sense. It's obvious that the Ji family has been targeted! All of this is a means used by others to bring down the Ji family!
She stood up and rushed downstairs.
Downstairs, Ji Keshuang and his wife, as well as Ji Xinzhe, were also discussing this issue.
"Who on earth hates the Ji family so much that they use such means to destroy us! A Zhe, find someone to investigate. You must dig out the mastermind behind this!"
When Ji Xinyue came downstairs, a strong smell of perfume mixed with feces instantly filled the entire living room. The others almost vomited right in front of Ji Xinyue.
Ji Keshuang's face looked extremely ugly. He said to Ji Xinyue, "What are you doing down here? Go back to your room!"
"I also want to know who hates the Ji family so much that they want to kill our whole family," Ji Xinyue said through gritted teeth. "Brother, you must find out quickly! When we find this person, I'll tear him to pieces!"
However, before they could find out the mastermind behind this, the Ji family suffered another round of blows.
The huge losses over the past few days had completely cut off the Ji family's source of funds. Seeing the situation was bad, the banks called one after another, demanding that the Ji family pay off all the loans they had taken out for business operations. Worried that they would not repay the loans, the banks even froze their accounts, and they couldn't even use a single dollar.
In addition, the workers, business partners, material suppliers, and artists all came to the door to demand repayment of debts. The four members of the Ji family were blocked and couldn't even leave the house.
"Pay back the money! Pay back the money! Pay back the money!"
"Give us our hard - earned money back!"
"Give my daughter back her life! Ji Xinyue, you vicious bitch. If it weren't for you, my daughter wouldn't have committed suicide by jumping off a building at such a young age!"
"My poor daughter, at such a beautiful age, just died like this without a clear explanation. Waaaaaa..."
"Tingting, why is your life so hard..."
"When you died, your eyes were wide open. So wide. Did you feel so wronged in your heart?"
"Don't worry. I will never let the person who killed you get away with it!"
In the dead of night, one shrill cry after another came from outside Ji Xinyue's window. Ji Xinyue hid behind the curtain, hugging her knees and shivering. She covered her ears tightly, but it was of no use.
"Under the banyan tree by the pond, the cicadas are singing summer..."
Suddenly, a song started playing outside. Although the singer's voice sounded a bit childish, her singing voice was like it was kissed by God. It was so ethereal and beautiful. It wasn't sung by any star, but by the girl who was forced to death by Ji Xinyue - Li Ting, who looked seven - tenths like Yuan Xi!
And this song was the one Li Ting sang during the preliminary round of the campus singing competition. As one of the preliminary - round judges, Ji Xinyue found that Li Ting not only looked like Yuan Xi but also sang so beautifully. That's why she wanted to take out her jealousy and revenge on Yuan Xi on Li Ting.
But she didn't expect that Li Ting's mental capacity was so weak! She actually chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building!
"Looking forward to growing up in childhood, day after day, year after year..."
Ji Xinyue couldn't take it anymore!
She was about to go crazy!
Ji Xinyue hugged her head and let out a desperate scream. "Aaaaaa, stop singing! Stop singing! Don't come to me anymore!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" The door of the room was knocked on urgently and forcefully. It almost scared Ji Xinyue out of her wits.
"Yueyue, are you in there?" Her mother's voice came from outside the door. She crawled over and opened the door. She wanted to hug her mother and ask her to get rid of that soul - calling voice outside. But unexpectedly, her mother grabbed her wrist fiercely with a hideous face and half - dragged, half - pulled her out of the room. Her mother's strength was so great and rough that she didn't care about her feelings at all. She even didn't care when Ji Xinyue fell down the stairs.
"Mom, you're hurting me! My leg hurts so much! Ah!"
Ji Xinyue was dragged into the living room. The hysterical Mrs. Ji pushed her. Just as she was about to question her mother why she was treating her like this, a slap suddenly landed on her face. She only had time to let out a scream, and then she was sent flying by the force and slid a long way on the ground.
