Chapter 46: It's Three Watches Again!! Vote Coins Are Being Pinched

  Ji Xiaobao really hated Ji Xiaowan, and before that, she had been writing her hatred on her face. She even scolded her several times in front of her. However, Ji Xiaowan didn't say much and didn't retort back at her. But just because she didn't scold or speak to her, it didn't mean she liked Ji Xiaobao. On the contrary, the more Ji Xiaowan disliked someone, the less she would: pay attention to them!

  So Ji Xiaobao came over to call her sister, and Ji Xiaowan automatically shielded off her existence. Then she took Qian Tonger's and Cheng Xiangxiang's hands and said, "Let's go."

  Qī Xiǎo Bǎo, who was being ignored, suddenly had a crack on his perfect face. He looked at Qī Xiǎo Wǎn as she walked past him and intentionally blocked her path, speaking in a flattering tone, "Sister, why don't you ever talk to me? Don't you know that Father really misses you? These days, he hasn't seen you come to our house, and he wants to catch up with you."

  Ji Xiaowan's heart flashed with a cold smile. She remembered that the last time she went to their house, she was shut out and scolded as a prostitute. This sentence had been deeply etched in Ji Xiaowan's mind, but Ji Xiaobao seemed to have forgotten it all.

  Qian Tong'er and Cheng Xiangxiang could see that Ji Xiaowen seemed to dislike her younger sister, and as friends of Ji Xiaowen, since Ji Xiaowen disliked her, they also disliked her together.

  Qian Tong'er and Cheng Xiangxiang took the initiative to hold Zhou Xiaowen's arm, Qian Tong'er said with a smile, "Let's go, have ice cream! I know a good-looking and delicious ice cream shop, it must be delicious."

  Cheng Xiang also chimed in, "Is it far? If it's too far, I won't go. Otherwise, we'll eat halfway and Xiao Wan will start nagging us to head back home!"

  Ji Xiaobao felt that she was being ignored by both Qian Tonger and Cheng Xiangxiang at the same time, her face looked even more unpleasant, and she once again vented her anger towards Qian Tonger and Cheng Xiangxiang on Ji Xiaowen.

  Ji Xiaobao blocked Ji Xiaowan's path and said, "Sister! Dad said that he hasn't seen you for several months, and you haven't even thought of giving him a call. Tonight, you must come back with me. Otherwise, don't mention next month's living expenses to him!"

  Ji Xiaobao deliberately embarrassed Ji Xiaowan in front of everyone.

  Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei both narrowed their eyes, looking at Ji Xiaobao.

  Before, they thought Qixiaobao looked quite like Xiaowen, so they had some good feelings towards her. However, Qixiaowen obviously ignored this younger sister of hers, and they knew Qixiaowen didn't really like her, so they also lost interest in Qixiaobao. But now, Qixiaobao actually spoke to Qixiaowen like that.

  Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei both sank their faces, a pair of sharp eyes scanning Ji Xiaobao's delicate face.

  Ji Xiaowan's living expenses have always been taken by her mother to gamble, she has never taken a single penny from her father. She now has over 40,000 yuan in her own little treasure box, and she has earned enough to cover her university tuition fees. Does she need to go see her father's face for just two or three thousand yuan a month?

  Ji Xiaobao didn't know that Ji Xiaowan had so much savings, so when she moved out of her father's alimony, she said it with great pride and complacency.

  Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei also knew that Ji Xiaowan had a lot of money in her pocket, so she wouldn't care about Ji Xiaobao's threatening words, so they still maintained an onlooker attitude.

  Ke Qian Tonger and Cheng Xiangxiang were so angry they almost died.

  Ji Xiaowan didn't speak, so Qian Tong'er spoke for her, "Uncle, since you want our Xiaowan, why don't you come over yourself to take her home? Why do you have to let our Xiaowan go back with you? What's the point of showing off in front of your daughter?"

  Ji Xiaobao's face turned bright red with anger. "This is our family's business, it's none of your concern as an outsider. What are you meddling in, you nosy parker?"

  Scolded on March 8th, Qian Tong'er directly rolled up her sleeves, with a fierce expression, saying "Who are you scolding? You damned cheap goods!"

  When it comes to scolding people, Qian Tong'er won't lose to Ji Xiaobao. Her poisonous tongue is famous throughout A High School. Whoever comes to argue with her will be scared away by her loud roar, and those who dare to shout in front of her again will be frightened away, never daring to come back.

  Cheng Xiang saw Qian Tonger getting angry, so she quickly persuaded him, "Don't bother with that kind of person, let's go eat ice cream and vent our anger. Talking to such a shameless woman lowers our taste."

  Cheng Xiang's scolding is elegant and doesn't contain any dirty words, her skill at insulting people is also top-notch.

  After hearing Cheng Xiangxiang's words, Ji Xiaobao's face! I don't know what words to use to describe it.

  Ji Xiaobao originally wanted to show off her elegant and perfect image to Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei, while also making Ji Xiaowan look bad. But who knew that these two women would suddenly appear out of nowhere and shield Ji Xiaowan like this? She had previously spoken kindly to Ji Xiaowan and even called her "sister" out of politeness, but Ji Xiaowan was still not satisfied and dared to ignore her? Anyone would be driven to ruin their image by these two women.

  Ji Xiaobao really wanted to scold Cheng Xiangxiang and the others on the spot, but she saw Yi Ling and Ye Haoyu's gaze staring at her intensely. Suddenly, she quickly suppressed her anger, endured it, and put on a more aggrieved expression on her face, as if she was about to cry. If this appearance of hers were seen by the boys who had a crush on her, wouldn't they immediately pull her into their arms and comfort her?

  Unfortunately, Yi Ling and Ye Haiyue looked at her with a cold gaze, even if they saw her pitiful appearance, it was hard to move the hearts of these two people.

  "Look at you, look at the kind of friends you've made! I'm your sister, and they're treating me like this. Can't you say something?"

  "Coldly, Ji Xiaowan bestowed upon her a sentence: 'You were the one who was rude first, so don't expect others to be polite to you.'"

  Ji Xiaobao's voice choked, a fierce anger burning in her belly. She suppressed her anger and continued to speak in a wronged tone, "Sister, how could you do this?! You're actually taking the side of an outsider, I'm your sister!"

  Listening to Ji Xiaobao's tone, people who don't know what happened would think that Ji Xiaowan bullied her.

  Ji Xiaowan still said coldly, "You're not my sister. Don't get too familiar."

  Ji Xiaobao's face suddenly turned pale with rage, "Ji Xiaowan! You're shameless!"

  Ji Xiaobao's endurance was not strong enough, and he was really broken by Ji Xiaowan's two sentences. If his mother Zhou Xiaomei were here, it would probably be a good entanglement for a while.

  Zhou Xiaomei's means, Ji Xiaowan had seen before, Ji Xiaobao's ability to coax and deceive was less than a tenth of her mother's!

  Ji Xiaowan ignored her again and continued to disregard her! Ji Xiaowan held hands with Qian Tonger and Cheng Xiangxiang, slowly leaving.

  Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei didn't bother to care about this kind of woman, their little Wen didn't like her, so they wouldn't take another look at her. Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei followed in Ji Xiaowen's footsteps, chasing after her.

  Ji Xiaobao saw Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei from start to finish, neither of them was willing to speak for her. She was so wronged by Ji Xiaowan, they were all unmoved. Ji Xiaobao suddenly got angry and bit off another fingernail. She jumped up behind Ji Xiaowan's back and said, "Ji Xiaowan! You just wait!"

  The conflict between Ji Xiaowen and Ji Xiaobao, what it was like, Qian Tonger and Cheng Xiangxiang didn't know. What Ji Xiaowen's family relationship was like, they also didn't know. But even if they were very curious, they wouldn't ask Ji Xiaowen because they knew that Ji Xiaowen didn't want to mention her family affairs. Since Ji Xiaowen wasn't willing to talk about it, they couldn't ask. Only this way could be truly respectful of Ji Xiaowen.

  Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei also discovered that Ji Xiaowan's family had many contradictions. They had always pitied Ji Xiaowan for having such a mother, but they didn't expect her to have such a good younger sister either. Moreover, Ji Xiaowan seemed not to like her father very much.

  They were just wondering what kind of family Ji Xiaowan lived in that made her so aloof and cold-blooded.

  It seems they don't know Qixiaowan well enough!

  After being bullied, Ji Xiaobao ran back home that night and cried to her mother. Zhou Xiaomei heard that her daughter had been wronged and cried like a beauty, complaining in front of Ji Weiguo about the grievances she had suffered before, including being beaten by Liu Fei when she was having an affair. She repeated it over and over again. Ji Weiguo listened to this and became furious.

  Ji Weiguo immediately called Liu Fei and scolded her severely over the phone, ruining her mood for playing cards. Afterwards, Ji Weiguo also told her on the phone that next month's living expenses were gone.

  Liu Fei was furious when she heard that her living expenses were gone, so she slammed the mahjong tiles and shouted at him, "If you don't give it to me, then don't! I don't care about you!"

  But after shouting, Liu Fei felt suffocated to death! Her only source of income now is relying on Ji Weiguo's two or three thousand yuan living expenses! The little money she had asked from Yi Ling before was almost spent, and she didn't have the face to keep asking a younger generation for money, so Liu Fei really valued Ji Weiguo's money. Now that Ji Weiguo has cut off her living expenses for next month, how will she get by?

  As soon as Liu Fei thought of this, she remembered Qi Weiguo scolding Qi Xiaowan, and Liu Fei knew that it must be Qi Xiaowan who had angered her father, so Qi Weiguo was so angry.

  Liu Fei diverted her anger onto Ji Xiaowan. That night, when Ji Xiaowan returned home, Liu Fei was already sitting at home waiting for her to come back.

  At this time, Liu Fei shouldn't be at home, she should have gone to play cards and wouldn't return until after 7 pm to eat dinner. Qiu Xiaowen took advantage of Liu Fei's absence to go home, cook and eat, then head out to give someone a tutoring session, not returning until 10:30 pm. By that time, either her mother had already gone to sleep or she had gone out to play cards again. In any case, Qiu Xiaowen basically didn't have much contact with her mother, and they rarely spoke.

  But today, when Ji Xiaowen saw Liu Fei sitting at home waiting for her with a furious expression, Ji Xiaowen knew that Ji Xiaobao must have gone back home and cried to her father, then her father called her mother, so Liu Fei appeared at home at this time.

  Ji Xiaowan didn't say a word and began to tidy up her backpack, preparing to start cooking.

  Liu Fei saw Ji Xiaowan return, not even saying a word to herself, and in anger, she went forward and directly pulled Ji Xiaowan's hair. Ji Xiaowan cried out in pain as she followed her mother, walking to the bedside, where Liu Fei let go of her.

  Ji Xiaowan coldly stuck to her mother.

  Liu Fei stuffed her mobile phone into Ji Xiaowan's hand and said, "Call your father and apologize to him."

  "I won't." Ji Xiaowan thought for a moment and directly refused.

  Ji Xiaowan's defiance made Liu Fei's eyes turn red with anger, and she slapped Ji Xiaowan across the face with great force, causing a thread of fresh blood to appear at the corner of her mouth.

  She was slapped in the face, but Qixiaowei still stood there stubbornly and refused to make a phone call.

  Liu Fei poked her forehead with her finger and said viciously, "Are you going to fight or not? If you don't, I'll beat you to death."

  Ji Xiaowan still said coldly, "Whatever."

  Liu Fei's eyes turned red, and with a dark face, she rummaged around the room, found a feather duster, held it upside down in her hand, took the thin stick and directly whipped Ji Xiaowen's buttocks. "Are you going to hit me? Are you going to hit me?"

  Liu Fei scolded and beat her violently at the same time.

  Ji Xiaowan clenched her teeth and endured it, not even letting out a cry of pain. She bit down so hard that the corners of her lips were bleeding.

  Liu Fei fought with all her might, but Ji Xiaowan refused to give in. In the end, Liu Fei was exhausted and threw the feather duster aside, sitting down on the edge of the bed and bursting into tears while covering her face.

  Liu Fei cried her heart out, while Ji Xiaowan stood by, watching her with a cold gaze.

  Every time Liu Fei severely beats Ji Xiaowan, the one who ends up crying is always her mother.

  Ji Xiaowan stood beside her, clenching her fists, neither comforting nor fueling her anger, just silently enduring her for a long, long time.

  Liu Fei cried until she was exhausted, she stopped crying, but still sobbed from time to time.

  Ji Xiaowan saw her mood finally calm down, then said a word, "Mom."

  Liu Fei didn't look at her, instead turning his head to gaze out the window, with tear stains still on his face.

  "How much pocket money does your dad give you every month?"

  Ji Xiaowan had never asked this question before. Liu Fei gave her a strange look and retorted, "What's it to you?"

  "How much does he give you for living expenses? Tell me."

  "Two thousand five." Liu Fei muttered a sentence and then said, "Sometimes I'll ask him for a bit more, he'll give me two thousand eight."

  "I also give you 2,500 yuan for living expenses every month, so don't ask Dad for money again, okay?"

  Liu Fei was stunned, "Where did you get so much money?" As soon as Liu Fei finished speaking, she choked. Her daughter gave tutoring to people every day, and in the past, Ji Xiaowen's tutoring sessions were only 80 yuan per hour. Now, Ji Xiaowen's tutoring sessions were very famous, and her hourly rate was at least 130 yuan or more, even 150 yuan. One class cost 300 yuan, and she earned one to two thousand yuan a week. If she taught well, she would also receive red envelopes during the mid-term and final exams. So, after a summer vacation of diligent study, Ji Xiaowen had saved a lot of money for herself. Giving Liu Fei 2,500 yuan in living expenses every month was still manageable for Ji Xiaowen. As long as her life wasn't too frugal in the future!

  Ji Xiaowan said she would give her money, and Liu Fei calmed down a lot and stopped quarreling with her. That night, Liu Fei even took the initiative to cook for Ji Xiaowan, and as for the previous incident where she severely beat Ji Xiaowan, she didn't mention it at all, acting as if nothing had happened.

  The next day, Ji Xiaowan went to school.

  Ji Xiaowan's mouth had obvious marks of being hit, and they were right at the corner of her mouth, which couldn't be covered up no matter what. Yi Ling and Ye Haoyu both saw them, but they didn't say anything.

  Logically speaking, when school lets out in the evening, it should be Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei who escort her home. On the way, they would absolutely not run into anyone who would do harm to Ji Xiaowen. During school hours, there are also people from Ye Haiwei's side keeping an eye on things, so it is absolutely impossible for Ji Xiaowen to suffer even a little bit of injustice. However, Ji Xiaowen still got hurt.

  Without needing Ji Xiaowan's explanation, they could guess who slapped Ji Xiaowan just by thinking about it!

  The two of them knew that Ji Xiaowan had been slapped by her mother, but they didn't say anything.

  These two guys are actually quite capable of keeping a low profile, because they both prefer to settle accounts after autumn! Just like Empress Lü, they are sinister and venomous! However, before settling the accounts, they need to figure out some things first.

  Qian Tonger and Cheng Xiangxiang also discovered the mark on Ji Xiaowan's mouth, which looked like a slap in the face. The two of them asked a bunch of questions in a flurry.

  "Xiao Wan, why aren't you saying anything?! Who was it that hit you?" Cheng Xiangxiang couldn't bear to see Ji Xiaowan being so silent, she was angry at how passive she was being and didn't even know what to defend herself against.

  Qian Tong'er was even more anxious than her, "Xiao Wan! Tell me, I'll go and help you take revenge. If someone slaps you once, I will get double the revenge back."

  Ji Xiaowan said, "It's nothing, it doesn't matter."

  "It's nothing!" Ching Xiangxiang hastily pushed Ye Haiwei away.

  Ye Haiwei also let her squeeze him out, because Ye Haiwei thought that Cheng Xiangxiang's words, Ji Xiaowan listened more, if he came to force her to speak, would make Ji Xiaowan dislike. Since someone was willing to take over, Ye Haiwei was naturally very willing.

  Ye Haiwei gave way to Cheng Xiangxiang, and Yi Ling also stood up to give way to Qian Tong'er, leaving the position for Qian Tong'er, letting them force Ji Xiaowan to speak.

  Qian Tong'er chattered excitedly, "Xiao Wan! Are you not considering us as friends?"

  Ji Xiaowan shook her head hastily, "No, I just don't want you all to be distracted because of me."

  Ji Xiaowan really treated them as friends, otherwise she wouldn't have wasted so much time talking to them. Ji Xiaowan had always taken an ignoring attitude towards people she disliked, but Qian Tonger and Cheng Xiangxiang had always been good to her, so Ji Xiaowan endured their entanglement with a different temperament than usual.

  Cheng Xiang saw Ji Xiaojuan unwilling to open her mouth, and continued to add fuel to the fire, saying, "You really don't consider us friends, when something happens you're not even willing to mention it to us."

  Ji Xiaowan shook her head again, "No, no. I really just don't want to trouble you all..."

  After seeing Qian Tong'er and Cheng Xiangxiang's hurt expressions, Ji Xiaowan let out a deep sigh and finally spoke up, "Alright, I'll tell you, it was just my mother who beat me up."

  "Why did your mother hit you?" Qian Tong'er pressed on with her attack.

  "My father stopped giving my mother living expenses, my mother knew it was me who made my father unhappy, she wanted me to call my father to apologize, I didn't agree, so she got angry and beat me up."

  Ji Xiaowan said, Cheng Xiangxiang and Qian Tonger were both stunned.

  Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei's faces turned gloomy. It turned out that they had been tricked by Ji Xiaobao! After hearing what Ji Xiaowan said, how could Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei not think of this possibility?!

  After knowing the inside story, the two men still didn't make a sound, but only saw a cold smile hanging at the corner of their mouths.

  Digression

  No need to say anything else, right? Everyone is being sincere and serious about it.
