Chapter 163: As If You Could Beat Me Up
Jixuan’s eyes were filled with disappointment, and his gaze fiercely provoked Nianzhen. “You’ve made up your mind to help Jiang Xun. Don’t forget, Yuexi is your biological sister! You’re not helping your biological sister, but you’re helping an outsider!”
“What outsider? Jiang Xun’s surname is also Jiang.” Jixuan said weakly, “How many times do I have to say it before you understand? Mom, you’ve already done wrong in the past. What you should do now is to correct it in time!”
“Get lost!” Nianzhen pointed at Jixuan’s bedroom door and suddenly broke down and said crazily, “Since you look down on me and your sister so much, then get lost! Isn’t Jiang Xun treating you well? Go find her then!”
“I gave birth to you. Because of me, you can become the only son of the Jiang family and inherit everything from your father in the future.” Nianzhen’s eyes were red as she gritted her teeth and said, “I gave you everything, and now you’re blaming me! Get lost!”
Jixuan’s eyes flashed with hurt. He took half a step back and his throat moved. In the end, he passed by Nianzhen and left the room without saying a word.
When he went downstairs, he didn’t see Chengye, so he ran straight to the entrance.
“Young Master.” Aunt Zhang saw that Jiang Jixuan was not in a good mood, and there were some faint sounds of arguing coming from upstairs.
It was not loud, so she could not hear it clearly.
But looking at Jixuan’s appearance now, she was a little worried.
Jixuan took a deep breath, but his voice was still not very calm. “I’ll go out for a while. I’ll come back in two days.”
After saying that, Jixuan put on his shoes and left.
Jixuan went out and walked aimlessly.
He opened an app to book a hotel, but he saw that no one wanted to stay there.
He couldn’t help but think of Jiang Xun.
Jixuan squatted by the roadside and sent a message to Jiang Xun. [Sister.]
At this moment, Jiang Xun was comfortably staying in her newly rented house.
She didn’t have to worry about affecting her roommates’ study and rest when she was livestreaming here in the future. As expected, it was much more convenient.
After receiving Jixuan’s message, Jiang Xun was a bit confused.
Jiang Xun: [Did you send it to the wrong person?]
Did this person suddenly call her sister?
Jiang Xun guessed that Jiang Jixuan might have sent it to Yuexi.
In any case, Jixuan had never called her “Sister.”
Jixuan: [I didn’t send it to the wrong person. Aren’t you my big sister?]
Jiang Xun frowned slightly. [What’s wrong?]
Jixuan: [Nothing…]
Jixuan squatted by the side of the road and looked at the cars coming and going on the road. He saw many people passing by with cigarettes between their fingers.
He suddenly wanted to try one as well.
He saw in movies and TV series that people always had a cigarette when they were upset.
He had never smoked before.
Jiang Xun’s call interrupted his endless thoughts.
Jixuan had just picked up when he heard Jiang Xun say, “Where are you?”
Jixuan paused for a moment. “At home.”
“Tell the truth!” Jiang Xun said angrily, “Jiang Jixuan, I’m only giving you this one chance. If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll hang up.”
“I’m outside,” Jixuan said hurriedly. “I had a fight with my mother and sister and came out.”
As soon as Jixuan finished speaking, Jiang Xun hung up the phone.
Jixuan: “???”
He told the truth. Why did she still hang up the phone?
Did she call to listen to his truth?
Jixuan couldn’t help but feel sad and hurt.
But soon after, his Wechat rang.
Jixuan opened it and saw that it was Jiang Xun who had sent him an address and location.
Jiang Xun: [I’ve moved out from the dormitory. If you don’t have a place to stay, come over.]
Jiang Jixuan could not hold back his tears at once.
Just now at home, in front of Nianzhen and Yuexi, he was so sad but he did not cry.
But now that Jiang Xun had sent him the address and asked him to move in, Jixuan felt extremely uncomfortable.
Nianzhen and Yuexi had treated her so badly, but she had still accepted him regardless of the past.
Jixuan raised the back of his hand and wiped away his tears. He immediately replied to Jiang Xun, [I’ll be there right away.]
Jixuan called for an online car rental and followed the location to Jiang Xun’s neighborhood.
When he was about to reach the door, he saw Jiang Xun in a large down jacket, standing at the door and waiting.
“Big Brother, hurry up and drive over!” Jixuan hurried the driver, not wanting Jiang Xun to wait at the door.
Just as the driver stopped the car, Jixuan couldn’t wait to open the door and get out of the car.
“Why are you waiting at the door?” Jixuan ran to Jiang Xun and complained, “It’s so cold out!”
“If I didn’t come out, could you find my building?” Jiang Xun put her hands in her pockets and pulled the collar of her down jacket to the highest level to cover her neck. When she turned around, she even shrank her neck.
The winter in the capital was really cold.
“Why did you move out? When did you move out?” Jiang Jixuan’s emotions came and went quickly. At this moment, he was focused on gossiping with Jiang Xun. “Are you on bad terms with your roommates? Did your roommates ostracize you?”
“What nonsense!” Jiang Xun patted his head. “My roommates are all very well. It’s just that I usually livestream and often go out to work. It affects their studies and rest too much, so I moved out to live on my own. Even if I work late, I don’t have to worry about the dormitory closing. I just moved out yesterday.”
“Then am I the first person to come here?” Jixuan asked expectantly.
Jiang Xun was stumped.
He really wasn’t the first.
Yicheng and Mufeng were.
“Why did you run out?” Jiang Xun turned to ask.
“I quarreled with my mother and sister.” Jixuan’s face darkened again at the mention of the two of them. “They didn’t feel that what they did to you was wrong at all and even blamed me for siding with you. It was clearly their fault. Furthermore, back then…”
“I’m sorry.” Jixuan lowered his head, too guilty to look at her. “If it weren’t for my mother, nothing would have happened to your mother, and you wouldn’t have been sent to the countryside.”
“It’s not all Feng Nianzhen’s fault.” Jiang Xun brought Jixuan into the elevator.
Jixuan was stunned.
“Feng Nianzhen was at fault, but Jiang Chengye is also not innocent. If Jiang Chengye was a good person, why would he cheat on my mother when she was pregnant? Why would he listen to Feng Nianzhen’s instigation and send me to the countryside?” Jiang Xun pursed her lips. “The fault was committed by both of them. Neither of them is innocent.”
Jixuan was silent for a long while before he said, “Why did you help me?”
“Help you with what?” Jiang Xun did not react for a moment.
“I’ve always wanted to ask you.” Jixuan’s nervous heart beat faster, “Previously, I was bullied by two hooligans. And this time, when I left home, you asked me to come here and stay. In fact, you could have ignored me. Moreover, when you first came home, I wanted to beat you up.”
“You were just thinking about it. It’s as if you could beat me up.” Jiang Xun curled her lips.
Jiang Jixuan: “…”
Although it was the truth, it sounded so painful.
“It’s Feng Nianzhen and Jiang Chengye who wronged me. It has nothing to do with you.” Jiang Xun continued, “When Jiang Chengye cheated on my mother with Feng Nianzhen and angered her to death, you weren’t there yet.”
“Even Yuexi caused trouble first. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered with her.”
