Chapter 48, Second Update with Great Effort!!

  Ye Haiyi received a call from Ta Xiao, about the news of Lang Bang. Ye Haiyi went to the study room and chatted for a while, gave a few instructions, and then came out of the study room. However, he didn't see Yi Ling, that little brat. He quickly walked to Yi Ling's door, opened it without hesitation, and searched around, but still no one was there!

  Ye Haiyu silently cursed in his heart! He knew it, this kid! Not a single bit of slackness was allowed against him!

  Ye Hai Wei hastily ran to Ji Xiao Wan's room, opened the door and saw Yi Ling standing at the bathroom door peeking, Yi Ling's face wore a shocked expression.

  Ye Haiwei didn't call out to him, he was afraid of startling Ji Xiaowan! He walked over and pulled Yi Ling's arm, not letting him sneak a peek.

  "What are you doing?" Ye Haiyi coldly shouted at him.

  Yi Ling seems to still be in a daze over there, unable to snap back to reality.

  Ye Haiyun narrowed his eyes and growled again, "What are you doing! How can you be so lacking in determination?"

  Yi Ling returned to his senses, furrowed his brow and said, "Hai Wei, take a look yourself."

  Ye Haiwei saw Yi Ling's expression was really strange. Normally, if Yi Ling had stolen a glance at Ji Xiaowan, he would have smiled like a sly cat, but now his expression seemed to be in a knot, as if he was heartbroken. Ye Haiwei knew there was a problem, so she walked to the bathroom door and peeked through the gap.

  In fact, there was a transparent glass partition inside the bathroom, and the mist also gradually obscured the glass window, making it impossible to see clearly. However, because Ji Xiaowen had just washed for a short time, the fog density was not enough, and Ye Haiwei could still see behind the glass that Ji Xiaowen's enchanting back and plump buttocks were visible, but below those buttocks, there were several crimson whip marks.

  Ye Haiyu also froze in place.

  Ye Haiwei looked at those whip marks and fell silent for a long time. Then he quietly closed the door, pulling Yi Ling away from Ji Xiaowan's bedroom.

  The two of them left without saying a word.

  After washing up, Ji Xiaowan put on a clean set of undergarments. She discovered something strange! The size of these new undergarments fit her perfectly! However, the style was a bit too flashy and the fabric of the underwear was a bit too thin, making Ji Xiaowan feel quite uncomfortable wearing them.

  The house is big, the bathroom is big, the faucet is big, and the water pressure is sufficient. Ji Xiaowan has never felt so comfortable washing up before. This wash made her forget about time. When she looked at the clock, she had been washing for a whole hour.

  Ji Xiaowan finished washing up and put on her own clothes, although it was a bit uncomfortable, she just didn't want to wear those sexy nightgowns. After washing for a long time, her mouth felt a bit dry, thinking that it was already so late, the two of them should have gone to bed early.

  Ji Xiaowan came out of the bedroom, wanting to find something to drink, but when she walked into the living room, she found two sharp gazes suddenly shooting towards her.

  "Haven't you gone to sleep yet?" Ji Xiaowan blinked her eyes, seemingly a bit helpless.

  Ye Haiyu saw her hair was wet and scattered on her shoulders, muttered a sentence, "Forgot to buy you a hair dryer."

  "I'll go get a towel." Yi Ling got up directly and went to his bedroom.

  "It's not necessary to be so troublesome." Ji Xiaowan had actually been drying her hair for quite a while, but it was just that her hair was too long and didn't dry easily.

  Yi Ling brought over a towel, wanting to help her dry her hair. Ji Xiaowen was not pleased and wanted to do it herself. Yi Ling was also unhappy, so he directly pressed her down onto the sofa, standing behind it as he dried her hair. As he did this, he muttered, "There are pajamas in your room, I bought several sets for you! Why don't you wear them?"

  Yi Ling said this with a hint of regret on his face.

  Ji Xiaowan's mouth twitched and she stiffly asked, "Were those all bought for me?"

  "Nonsense." Yi Ling scolded, "All were bought according to your size! Previously I bought C-cup for you, later you grew again, and I changed it to D for you."

  As soon as she heard that, Ji Xiaowan immediately jumped out and snatched the towel from Yi Ling's hand, then hid far away, no longer allowing him to wipe his hair.

  This man is a germ! There must be some bad stuff in his brain!

  Ji Xiaowan was startled by Yi Ling! She really didn't expect that the ones in her room weren't Luo Mei Yue's, but were actually prepared for her? And what about her bra size, how did they know it so clearly?

  At this thought, Ji Xiaowan suddenly felt a chill. Had they been thinking of ways to get her into the house all along?

  Ji Xiaowan was frightened by their exaggerated ideas, her soul flew away. She felt that she had really entered the wolf's lair and would lose her body if she wasn't careful.

  Yi Ling saw Ji Xiaowan hiding far away and didn't chase after her. He sat back in the position where Ji Xiaowan was just now, looking at her with a deep expression.

  Ye Haiyue also stared at Ji Xiaowan with deep eyes,

  Ji Xiaowan felt uncomfortable being stared at by them, so she got up to pour herself a glass of water and planned to drink it before going back to her room to rest.

  "Xiao Wan, let's talk."

  "What do you want to say?" Ji Xiaowan felt that she and they spoke different languages, so there was no need to talk.

  "Do you want to move out and live with us?" Ye Haiwei suggested with a smile.

  Ji Xiaowan sneered in her heart, letting her stay for one night, she was already so nervous, did they plan to let her live like this every night? What a joke!

  Ji Xiaowan muttered to herself as she drank water, and didn't nod her head to indicate that she disagreed.

  Ye Haiwei continued to press on, "Xiao Wan, don't you think your mother is being unreasonable?"

  "Just say what you want to say directly, don't beat around the bush."

  Since Ji Xiaowan has said so, he might as well say it directly, "You move out and live with us. From now on, you won't have to worry about your mother beating you up. We will protect your personal safety."

  Only when she lives with them will her personal safety be a problem!

  "I've said it before, my mother will never lay a hand on me again, you can rest assured."

  "Feel at ease!" Yi Ling was anxious, "How can we feel at ease? Look at the marks on your body, so many whip scars, more than the grains of rice you've eaten."

  The water in the cup froze for a moment, and Ji Xiaowen blinked her eyes, asking strangely, "How did you know I was injured?" After finishing speaking, she turned her brain around, and her face suddenly became red with anger, "Did you peek at me while I was taking a bath?"

  Ye Hai gave Yi Ling a fierce stare, silently scolding this kid for being so impatient! He had barely said a few words and already spilled the beans.

  He puffed out his chest, indicating that he had done nothing wrong! Think about it, if he hadn't gone to sneak a peek at her, they might not have even discovered the injuries on her body! So he was actually helpful and absolutely blameless!

  Ji Xiaowan shook her head and looked at these two people in horror, saying "Did you guys install a surveillance camera in my room?"

  "No! Absolutely not!" This was something Yi Ling could guarantee her.

  Ji Xiaowan never believed them again, "I want to leave here, I don't want to be with you for another second. Let me go, I want to go home."

  "Go home for what? Are you going to let your mother beat you up again? Xiaowei, you should think about yourself for once. You're capable of taking care of yourself, so don't get entangled with your mother anymore. If you leave her, your life will be better."

  "What do you know! You rich family brats! Do you think you really understand me?" Ji Xiaowen's words were sharp and piercing, "My mother and I don't need outsiders to interfere in our affairs!"

  If it were said that Qian Tonger and Cheng Xiangxiang are her good friends, she would be willing to let them share their own stories, but the two guys in front of her can't even become her ordinary friends!

  Ji Xiaowan's words really hurt them, they just wanted to protect her simply, but she refused. She insisted on getting up by herself and crawling on the ground alone rather than accepting their helping hands!

  Yi Ling's temper flared up, he clenched his fists, wanting to go over and give her a lesson, best if he could kiss her until she couldn't say another word.

  Even Ye Haiwei was suppressing the urge to punish her, Ye Haiwei let out a deep breath and said, "Xiao Wan, then give me a reason, a reason for us to let you go home. If you can't convince us, don't think about leaving here, and don't even think about going to school tomorrow."

  The key to this room is something that Ji Xiaowan can never steal, so Ye Haiyuan's threat is not something that Ji Xiaowan can ignore.

  Ji Xiaowan was really angry, but she knew that if she and they came to a head-on confrontation, there would be no good outcome. Ji Xiaowan made an effort to calm herself down, forcing herself to be calm. She took a few deep breaths and said, "You guys have different living environments than me, you can't understand my feelings at all. I admit it, my mother is indeed very shameless, loves money, doesn't like me much, and can even sell me out for money... but!" Ji Xiaowan paused, her eyes dimming, "She's my mother."

  "It's better if such a mother didn't exist." Yili said hastily.

  Ji Xiaowan slowly shook her head and said, "Since I have memories, my father has only beaten and scolded me, never showing me a smile, no matter how good my grades were or how well-behaved I was. He didn't like me because he didn't like my mother! So he took out his frustrations on me, beating and scolding me, even using boiling water to scald me."

  Ji Xiaowan said this, and the two of them suddenly froze.

  They never thought that the person who was truly poisoned was her father! And he even used boiling water to scald her?!

  Ji Xiaowan was calm and composed, but when she mentioned past events, her body still trembled, her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, yet she refused to cry.

  "That time, my father splashed hot water on my face, and my mother hugged my head, using her back to take the blow for me. No matter what purpose my mother saved me for, from then on, I had to call her 'mom'."

  Ji Xiaowan finished speaking and the two finally fell silent.

  "My father! He loves his mistress, and the daughter of his mistress, more than me, it's as if I'm not his own flesh and blood! My parents are divorced, my father is living happily with his mistress and their precious daughter, while my mother and I live alone. I've already lost my father, so I don't want to lose my mother too! Even when I go back home, even if my mother doesn't say a word to me, even if she's cruel and heartless towards me, at least I know I'm someone with a mother! If I leave her, what's the difference between me and an orphan?!" Ji Xiaowei clenched her fists as she spoke, "I won't leave her! Because I don't hate her! I may not like my mother, but I don't hate her! It's precisely because I don't hate her that I want to live with her!"

  They used to hate Liu Fei, but after knowing that Ji Xiaowan was beaten by her mother, they were thinking of how to avenge the woman. However, Ji Xiaowan wanted to protect her! What Ji Xiaowan said is right! They are not her, so they don't understand her feelings at all.

  The kind of family raises the kind of character!

  Ji Xiaowan came from a family like that, she had been suffering from domestic violence all along, so it's not her fault that she is introverted and unapproachable. Ji Xiaowan likes to use silence as a form of resistance, it's a habit that was forced upon her! However, Ji Xiaowan has always worked very hard to maintain her own life.

  When Ji Xiaowan was being beaten by her father, what was Luo Meiyue doing? Yi Ling and the others only knew that Luo Meiyue was coquettishly telling them that she didn't like to eat this, didn't like to wear that, she wanted good things, she wanted to pick and choose!

  Lu Mei Yue lived in heaven while Ji Xiao Wan suffered in hell.

  Why didn't they get to know her sooner? Why didn't she appear in their lives sooner? If she had appeared earlier, they would never have let her suffer like this! In fact, they could have given her the most perfect life! A life just like Luo Mei's!

  Ji Xiaowan's eyes were cold as she stared at them, and when she saw the sympathetic look in their eyes, she smiled coldly. "I've never told anyone about my family because I don't want anyone to sympathize with my situation! I don't need anyone's sympathy! Because I have hands and feet, I'm working hard to create my own life! I study hard, earn money hard, and learn to be independent! But some people don't want me to live a good life, they insist on putting obstacles in my way, blocking my path to making money, ruining my reputation, making it impossible for me to stay in school, forcing me to give up my studies! Those people!" Ji Xiaowan looked at the two of them, staring fiercely, saying word by word, "Those who have harmed me, I will never like them forever!"

  Ji Xiaowan said those people, it's them they're talking about!

  How could they not understand? How could they not know?

  Yi Ling listened to Ji Xiao Wan's words, feeling that Ji Xiao Wan was now using a knife to ruthlessly scrape at his heart. After hearing her tragic life story, he thought of all the things he had done to her before and felt that he had wronged her! He owed an apology to this little girl who had always strived to create a better life for herself!

  He really wants to slap himself a few times now, or even better, give himself a good beating!

  Yi Ling clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and suddenly turned around, walking towards her room. She slammed the door shut behind her and became an ostrich again.

  Ye Haiyi still stood in place, quietly watching Ji Xiaowan, watching her mention past events with a calm expression, bringing up the things they had hurt her with, still with that same calm expression.

  His heart felt like it was blocked by a huge stone, no matter how hard he pushed, he couldn't push it away!

  They owe her an apology, and she won't forget! Even if they try to bridge the distance between them, a deep chasm has already been built between her and them. This gap is one they can't cross!

  Ye Haiyi didn't escape, he took a step forward and pulled Ji Xiaowan into his arms.

  Ji Xiaowan struggled to push him away.

  Ye Hai held him tighter, he wouldn't let go, "Don't move."

  Ye Haiyuan only said two words, and Ji Xiaowan stopped struggling, but her body was still resisting, stiffening up, never willing to relax.

  Ye Haiyu held her tighter, as if he couldn't wait to merge her into his body right now, making her a part of his heart.

  What has he done! He won't escape from it! Apologies for what happened to her! He will use everything he owns to make up for it! And all he asks for is one thing! That's her heart! Her person!

  "Xiao Wan, I'll let you go home! But I have a few questions for you, answer them properly."

  "What?"

  "If your father turned around and apologized for everything he had done before, would you forgive him?"

  If her father had only apologized with a simple sentence, Ji Xiaowan would have forgiven him, and he could also be redeemed! Ye Haiwei thought so in his heart, so he asked like this.

  When Ye Haiwei said this, Ji Xiaowan paused for a moment, as if thinking about something. After a while, she said, "I don't know." She had never received paternal love from him, even when she was desperate and wanted to rely on him, he had never appeared by her side. Just thinking about it made Ji Xiaowan really resentful of him, but no matter what, he was still her biological father...

  Ye Haiwei closed his eyes again and held her tightly for three minutes, "If he is willing to use everything he has to exchange for your forgiveness, are you willing?"

  "I never cared about him, and what I wanted, he never gave me."

  Ye Haiyu endured the pain and hugged her for a long, long time. Ji Xiaowan was hugged so tightly by him that it hurt, but she didn't make a sound. She remained stiff in his arms, still using silence to resist everything.

  Heavily, Ye Hai let out a breath and slowly released her, saying, "I know what to do now."

  Ji Xiaowan's words decided Ji Weiguo's fate!

  Ji Xiaowan went back home and didn't stay overnight at their house. Ye Haiwei asked Ta Di to send her back home, and when they got home, it was already past one in the middle of the night.

  That night, Ji Xiaowen found that those two people no longer made moves on her. Although they still sent her home after school, they no longer asked for goodbye kisses, and at school, they didn't talk to her much either. Ji Xiaowen felt that she had benefited from the misfortune. She successfully consolidated her position again! From now on, she wouldn't have to worry about being bothered by them anymore.

  Then, Ji Xiaowan lived a carefree life in school, her personality gradually became more outgoing. She and Qian Tonger and Cheng Xiangxiang would chat and laugh together, and slowly, she was brought into the entire Class 3 of High School by the two of them.

  Ji Xiaowan found that, originally, people interacting with each other is actually very simple, except for the special case of Zhen Tongtong. The people in Class 3 of High School No. 3 are all very innocent, and she likes them a lot.

  Ji Xiaowan's smile was very faint, but she was indeed smiling, even if it was just a slight curve of her lips. They could all see the beautiful arc hanging from Ji Xiaowan's joyful eyebrows.

  Ji Xiaowan is extremely popular, not only in her class but also throughout the entire school. She's a renowned beauty. As a result, Ji Xiaowan has an increasing number of suitors, receiving so many love letters that she can't even hold them all, and getting so much chocolate that she can't carry it anymore.

  This makes Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei so jealous! Although their own love lives are not worse than hers, every time they see Ji Xiaowan receive a love letter, they feel bitter and sour to the point of being tortured. They wish they could directly tear up all the love letters in front of her, even though Ji Xiaowan ends up throwing them into the trash can herself, but it's still not enough to vent their frustration!

  They want to directly put a label on Ji Xiaowan's back and say that Ji Xiaowan already has someone?

  But no way! Ji Xiaowan was not happy, not pleased to be involved with them, and they really owed her, they couldn't deprive her of her high school life on campus again, or else they were worse than beasts.
