Jiang Yi's voice was loud, and his words were full of filthy language, which was unbearable to hear.
Jiang Li hardly hesitated at all. Looking at Jiang Yi, who was still barking madly, she angrily raised her hand and slapped him hard!
The sound of the slap was very crisp. Jiang Li had used all her strength. After the slap, her palm went numb: "Jiang Yi, you're just a scumbag!"
Jiang Li was so angry that she almost lost her balance. Her eyes were also a bit red, and her emotions were out of control: "What on earth do you want me to do? Will you be satisfied only when I die?"
As soon as her voice fell, Xiao Yanzhi, who was standing on one side, suddenly sank his eyes.
Jiang Yi, who had been slapped, was still a bit dazed. When he realized it was Jiang Li who had slapped him, he instantly flew into a rage: "You bitch, how dare you hit me?"
He struggled wildly in anger, trying to break free from the ropes, but the ropes were tied tightly. He wriggled on the ground like a maggot but couldn't break free.
After finding it was useless, he spat hard on the ground: "I think you've been living too comfortably and forgotten that you're a murderer!"
"Why did Dad have to die? It should have been you. Why aren't you dead yet!"
Mentioning her father, Jiang Li's eyes were red, and her vision blurred.
Yes, why wasn't it her who died?
She should have been beaten to death by those debt - collectors and never had to struggle in this world for all these years!
Jiang Li bit her lips tightly. Her long hair had scattered at this moment, fluffy and messy, looking extremely embarrassed.
Xiao Yanzhi looked at the red corners of her eyes and her clenched fists, and said softly, "Why are you crying? Don't I help you?"
After saying that, he lowered his eyes again and looked down at Jiang Yi lying on the ground: "How much do you want this time?"
Seeing Xiao Yanzhi being so generous, Jiang Yi's face immediately turned obsequious, and he grinned: "Mr. Xiao is still so generous. I knew Mr. Xiao was a reasonable man."
Xiao Yanzhi's expression remained unchanged: "Tell me the number."
Jiang Yi didn't dare to waste time and hurriedly said obsequiously: "One million. I only need one million."
While grinning, he glanced at Jiang Li beside him: "My sister will surely serve you comfortably. You can rest assured."
Hearing what Jiang Yi said, Jiang Li only felt it extremely harsh.
She was like a possession of their Jiang family.
"Are you selling your sister to me?" Xiao Yanzhi's voice was deep: "Jiang Yi, I don't just give money to anyone."
Jiang Yi nodded like a pounding garlic: "From now on, my sister is yours. If she dares to run away, I'll catch her for you and break her legs!"
This was her younger brother.
Back then, in order to save her family from the dire straits, she had dared to climb into Xiao Yanzhi's car and made a deal with him. Only then had they paid off the huge loan her father had owed.
Jiang Li had originally thought that even if Jiang Yi didn't feel grateful, at least he would cherish the peaceful life brought about by her sacrifice.
But he regarded this as a capital to trample on her, insulting her again and again, saying that she was a cheap woman who made money by spreading her legs.
And now, he was openly saying that he wanted to sell her to Xiao Yanzhi.
She thought it was ridiculous.
Just then, Xiao Yanzhi's voice was low: "Xue An, have you recorded everything?"
"Yes, Mr. Xiao. I've recorded everything." Xue An waved the recorder in his hand: "Jiang Yi openly bought and sold women. The evidence is conclusive, and we can file a case."
"Good." Xiao Yanzhi's voice was indifferent: "Send him back to the Beicheng Police Station."
Now that there were both human and physical evidence of human trafficking, Jiang Yi would surely go to jail.
Unexpectedly that Xiao Yanzhi would do this, Jiang Yi's face suddenly changed, looking shocked: "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean? Didn't we agree well..."
"Who allowed you to sell your sister to me?"
His tone was chillingly cold: "Jiang Yi, I give you face because you're Jiang Li's younger brother."
"But now, it seems that she doesn't think so." Xiao Yanzhi's eyebrows were cold and solemn, and his eyes looked at Jiang Li: "Jiang Li, answer me, is he your younger brother?"
"No." Jiang Li's face was still a bit pale, but she answered very crisply: "I don't have a younger brother. Please do as you like, Mr. Xiao."
"Jiang Li!" Jiang Yi didn't expect this. He instantly panicked: "Are you crazy? I'm your own younger brother. Are you going to send me to jail?"
Jiang Li didn't look down at Jiang Yi again. She looked calmly into the distance.
"Jiang Li, have you lost your conscience?"
At the last second when Jiang Yi was being stuffed into the car by Xue An, he was still scolding: "Mom was right. You're just an ungrateful dog!"
As the car door was closed, Jiang Yi's scolding stopped.
The car gradually drove away, but Jiang Li still stood there. Her muscles were numb all over, and her eyes were empty, only filled with blankness.
Xiao Yanzhi paused for a moment before slowly saying, "Have you thought it through? You really don't care about your family bond anymore?"
"What family bond do I still have?"
Jiang Li twitched her lips. Her voice was hoarse as expected: "Dad is dead, Mom has remarried, and there's a younger brother who scolds me as a bastard every day. Where is the family bond?"
Her last bit of family bond had long been annihilated without a trace.
The late night in Huacheng was much colder than during the day. Jiang Li was only wearing a silk evening dress for the banquet. Her shoulders and arms were exposed to the air and had already turned a bit red from the cold.
She looked extremely desolate, as if she could be blown down by the wind at any time.
Xiao Yanzhi looked at her somewhat stiff body and knew that she couldn't walk now.
His eyes darkened. He loosened the buttons of his suit and put it directly on her shoulders: "I'll carry you."
Xiao Yanzhi stretched out his hand.
His palm was broad, and his fingers were long, looking strong and powerful.
Feeling the remaining warmth of the suit on her skin, Jiang Li flinched.
He was always like this. When she was the most vulnerable and vulnerable, he would reach out his hand to her and protect her in his arms regardless of everything.
No wonder she always fell in love with him again and again and was always attached to his warmth.
She thought that no one would be willing to offer a helping hand for no reason, unless he also had feelings for her.
But now, she had understood many things.
He never loved her. Reaching out his hand to her was only because she still had value.
From beginning to end, Xiao Yanzhi had always been a businessman who weighed interests.
Jiang Li was silent for a long time. Suddenly, she shook her head with a smile and dodged his hand: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for saving me, but it's getting late. I should go back."
"Back where?" Xiao Yanzhi's face suddenly darkened, and he asked word by word: "Such a big thing happened tonight. Where do you still want to go?"
"Then where does Mr. Xiao want to take me?"
Jiang Li's body was wrapped tightly in the suit, looking extremely thin. She twitched her lips and smiled self - deprecatingly: "To a hotel or your car?"
She was smiling like a flower at the moment, but her smile was very unreal, as if it would break with a touch: "Because you helped me tonight, so I have to accompany Mr. Xiao for a night like before, right?"
