The Downs of Marriage

Chapter 8: Active provocation will be retribution

Ji Xuanxiu frowned and looked up at the domineering woman in front of her.

Ji Zilin stared at Ji Xuan condescendingly, her beautiful eyes mixed with resentment, jealousy, contempt and anger.

Ji Xuan was surprised that she could distinguish the emotions in Ji Zilin's eyes so clearly, but she couldn't help but sigh that Ji Zilin's behavior was straightforward and unpretentious, and it was foolish to say it badly.

"If it really belongs to you, others won't be able to **** it, and it's easy to be snatched away, it can only prove that it didn't belong to you."

Ji Xuan wouldn't be angry about Ji Zilin's words. She just didn't want to be a soft persimmon to be squeezed by others.

"You..." Ji Zilin became angry, and glanced at the red wine on the table in anger. Ji Xuan was about to grab her.

"Ji Zilin, I advise you to look at the occasion and don't do anything reckless." Ji Xuan scolded, then looked around to see if anyone noticed their movement.

Ji Zilin couldn't listen to Ji Xuan's words at all, and hit her shoulder while she was distracted.

Ji Xuan fell back on the chair unexpectedly, and the whole glass of red wine fell onto her skirt, partly immersed in the fabric, partly flowing down the calf and into the shoes.

"Oh! I'm so sorry, sister, I just twisted my ankle and didn't pay attention to my hand. Are you okay?" Ji Zilin's mouth was almost up to the sky, and she looked at Ji Xuan with complacency.

At this time, there were already several gazes here. Ji Xuan didn't want to make matters worse, she just cursed secretly, and was too lazy to pay attention to Ji Zilin, so she hurriedly used the napkins on the table to absorb the liquor left on her skirt.

"Sister, wait here first. I'll see if there are suitable clothes for you. I'll be back soon."

Ji Zilin turned around with a triumphant smile, Ji Xuanwu immersed herself in dealing with the wine stains on her skirt, and ignored her at all.

However, in the blink of an eye, Ji Xuan heard a scream of "Ouch," and she looked up and saw Ji Zilin planted to the ground unsightly, with a goblet with a broken foot beside her feet.

Ji Xuan was stunned for a long time before pursing her lips and smiling, but she didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Presumably Ji Zilin was too proud. She didn't notice the goblet that had just rolled down and stepped on it to cause tragedy.

I didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly, Ji Xuan sighed in her heart, and all the worries in her heart disappeared for a while, not to mention how happy she was.

"Linlin! What is going on?!"

Ji Zilin's scream was so noticeable that Lin Yaru, who was chatting with the noble ladies not far away, immediately heard it and rushed over.

Seeing Ji Zilin sitting slumped on the ground with a wrinkled face and aggrieved, she looked distressed and angry, and she unconsciously looked at Ji Xuan, who was sitting aside, leisurely.

"Zilin came over to chat with me just now, but she twisted her ankle. I suggested that she sit for a while, but she insisted on finding replacement clothes for me. That was the end." Ji Xuan said innocently, anyway. Ji Zilin said just now, she just followed.

Lin Yaru only noticed the wine stains on Ji Xuan's skirt, and then saw the broken cup at Ji Zilin's feet, and suddenly understood most of it.

She hurriedly helped Ji Zilin, then called the servant to clean up the ground, and apologized: "Xuan Xuan, you see that Linlin’s foot hurts very badly. I will finish her business first, and then I will help you. Replacement clothes, okay?"

"I won't get in the way. Zi Lin's foot problem is more serious, please take her to see it soon." Ji Xuan waved her hand very generously and said with concern.

Lin Yaru nodded at her apologetically, and left with the servant who supported Ji Zilin, who was constantly humming. When the ladies asked, she replied embarrassedly: "The sisters were talking, but they twisted their feet carelessly. I'm going to invite a doctor to see it. I'm sorry, but I'll be out of company for a while."

"It's okay, the child's business is a big deal."

"Yes, you don't have to worry about us."

Ji Xuan went to the bathroom while Lin Yaru was polite with the ladies, lest the ladies turn their heads to focus on her, she doesn't like being the center of the conversation.

There are people in the bathroom downstairs, so Ji Xuan can only go upstairs.

After dealing with the wine stains on his legs and looking at the dark red traces on the skirt, Ji Xuan couldn't help but cursed "idiot".

It wasn't that she was distressed that the skirt was scrapped, it wasn't the money she spent anyway, it didn't matter how expensive it was. I just feel that Ji Zilin is too brainless, and must make trouble on such an occasion to make everyone unsightly.

It is the spoiled eldest lady who is different from her, Ji Xuan can't help but think of herself.

After confirming that the skirt was not saved, Ji Xuan didn't mess around, washing her hands and leaving the bathroom, planning to tell Sheng Zeyan that she couldn't stay like this, so she should go back first.

Thinking about it this way, this situation is not too bad, at least she can find an excuse to leave first.

Ji Xuan pulled out her mobile phone from her bag and was about to contact Sheng Zeyan. She didn't know how to hold it firmly, but she twisted it in her hand a few times, and finally let it go.

Fortunately, there were thick carpets in the corridors. Ji Xuan checked that it was intact and he was relieved.

Just about to get up, he heard a small conversation, the voice was a bit familiar, as if it belonged to Sheng Zeyan.

Recalling that he said that he had something to talk to Ji Zhenchuan, shouldn’t he be talking now?

Ji Xuan looked around, and no one heard the footsteps. I pondered it for a while, anyway, the bathroom is at the end. If someone finds out, just pass by with the excuse.

After thinking of an excuse, Ji Xuan carefully moved to the room where the sound came from, put her ear on the door, and tried to distinguish the sound inside.

"This project is the best springboard to enter the real estate industry. As long as the situation is opened up, the rest will be easy to handle."

"It's really a good opportunity, but I don't know if the news is reliable."

Ji Xuan lay on the door, trying to distinguish the two sounds, but the sound insulation effect of the solid wood door was so good, she could only vaguely hear the words "real estate industry" and "opportunity".

"The news is absolutely reliable. It's just that there are risks in any investment, and it can only be estimated. Besides, the opportunity is rare, and it will be difficult to think about it next time. I plan to invest first."

"Since you have said so, then I can't watch you take the risk alone, let me share some with you."

"Thank you dad first, then."

"What are you polite family?"

Ji Xuan frowned. Hearing these words vaguely, Sheng Zeyan seemed to plan to cooperate with Ji Zhenchuan on a project, which seemed to be real estate.

Ji Xuan didn't dare to determine whether it was like this because he didn't really hear it, so she could only continue to stick to the door, wondering if she could hear more news.

But at this time, the door was very quiet, as if no one had ever said anything before. Ji Xuan was surprised, suddenly she had no support in front of her, and her body skewed forward and suddenly leaned forward.
