Wen Qian got up and took the bottle of red flower oil from Lu Zheng's hands, standing beside him and looking at him indifferently.
"I'll handle it myself," she thought. After everything that had happened today, she was already exhausted. Since he was the one who had caused this mess, he could deal with it on his own.
Lu Zheng furrowed his brows and glanced up at her. His fingers curled slightly as he released Lu Chen's legs and stood up to make room for her.
Wen Qian sat down directly and continued to tend to Xiao Chen. Lu Zheng stood beside her, watching the two of them. He noticed how Wen Qian deliberately moved her stool closer!
His heart skipped a beat as he looked at Wen Qian with a complex and hurt expression.
"Lu Zheng, open the door for me! I came to see Xiao Chen!"
Hearing the voice from the yard, Lu Zheng's eyes darkened as he stepped outside.
Chi Xuecha saw Lu Zheng's figure and excitedly waved at him. "Lu Zheng, you finally came out! I thought you were asleep!"
Inside the house, Wen Qian rolled her eyes. "Asleep? Why would you call out if he were?"
"Lu Zheng, you call me so affectionately!"
Lu Zheng opened the door, but Chi Xuecha immediately tried to step forward only to be stopped by him.
"Come with me!"
"Okay! Wherever you want me to go, I'll follow!"
Chi Xuecha obediently trailed behind Lu Zheng, shyly glancing at his tall figure.
When they reached the middle of the path, Lu Zheng stopped and looked at her. Chi Xuecha seemed to take a moment to realize it, almost bumping into him.
Lu Zheng stepped back two paces, causing Chi Xuecha to stumble slightly. She quickly steadied herself and playfully glared at him.
"Lu Zheng, you're so mean! I almost ran into you! If Sister-in-law finds out, she'll definitely be angry with you."
She looked at him shyly with a hint of mischief in her eyes. "If that happens, you can come find me. I'll definitely explain it well to Sister-in-law."
Lu Zheng frowned at her strange demeanor and replied coldly, "You were the one who almost ran into me. Shouldn't I be the one getting angry?"
Chi Xuecha's expression froze for a moment as she awkwardly smiled at him. She could no longer maintain her facade.
"Hehe, Lu Zheng, you're really funny! Please don’t come looking for me in the future; we have nothing between us. Or I wouldn’t mind visiting Captain Chi again."
As she watched Lu Zheng’s serious face, her heart screamed internally.
Ahhh! So handsome!
It was when he frowned in anger that she first noticed him! If he hadn’t saved her back then, she might not even be alive now. Since Lu Zheng had saved her life, she felt compelled to repay him in kind.
"Lu Zheng, how can you be so heartless? You were nice to me before; why are you suddenly treating me so coldly?"
She looked at Lu Zheng with tears in her eyes, angrily pointing at the house where Wen Qian lived. Was it all because of her sister-in-law's arrival? How could she be so petty?
"Chi Xuecha, if you continue to harass me and my family, I will report you to the authorities. Chi Tuanzhang will also be implicated because of you. I hope you think this through," she said firmly.
"Don't come looking for me again. You are not welcome here, and neither is your presence in my home."
Chi Xuecha watched Lu Zheng's retreating figure with a heavy heart, tears streaming down her face. Although Lu Zheng had rejected her before, he had never been so direct; it had to be because of that despicable Wen Qian. She was determined to make her pay for this!
Lu Zheng entered the courtyard and closed the door behind him. He sat on a stool in the yard to calm himself. Chi Xuecha had come to find him before, and he had always turned her away directly, even going so far as to speak to her father, Chi Tuanzhang. However, those efforts had yielded little result.
He rubbed his temples and turned to look at the two people inside the house, his gaze gradually darkening. There would still be opportunities in the future.
Outside, Chi Xuecha couldn't help but cry as she glared at the courtyard gate, seemingly directing her anger at Wen Qian and Lu Chen.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of a gate opening next door and quickly turned away to wipe her tears. Guo Dajuan covered her swollen face and hurriedly walked away.
When she bumped into someone in front of her, both women stumbled back two steps due to Guo Dajuan's speed.
Chi Xuecha was already feeling upset, and now being bumped into felt like an outlet for her frustration. She bent down slightly, rubbed her back where she had been hit, then turned to glare at the woman who was covering her head and began to vent her anger.
"Are you blind? Can't you watch where you're going? If you don't want your eyes anymore, just go ahead and gouge them out! You bumped into my waist, so you must pay me! If not, I'll go ask your man for it!"
Guo Dajuan was already in pain from being beaten up earlier; her scalp throbbed from where Chen Liang had pulled her hair during their fight. After begging for mercy for a long time before he let go, now she was unexpectedly bumped into and then berated without reason—on top of that, being asked for money!
"Bah! Pay you? No way!"
She raised her head to retort but was taken aback to find it was Chi Xuecha standing before her.
Chi Xuecha was the daughter of Chi Tuanzhang from the military district—a little tyrant who could get away with almost anything as long as she didn’t cross too many lines; Chi Tuanzhang would never blame her and always indulged her.
She closed her mouth, which had just opened, and forced a smile, one that didn't quite reach her eyes. Guo Dajuan thought to herself that she couldn't offend Chixue Cha; if she did, Chixue would go to Captain Chi and report Chen Liang, and then Chen Liang would definitely kill her.
Not to mention Xiao Juan; she was still thinking about finding a way to rescue her! Wait! Finding someone to save Xiao Juan? Wasn't the person in front of her the most suitable choice?
Guo Dajuan's eyes lit up as she looked at Chixue Cha. She approached her with a flattering demeanor, "Xiao Xue! I'm so sorry, I didn't see you just now. It's all my fault for being blind."
Chixue Cha was about to tell her to get lost, but found that the massage felt quite nice and the words were somewhat pleasing. She let out a cold snort.
Guo Dajuan glanced at Chixue Cha's expression and sweetly said, "Xiao Xue, how is your waist so slim? If I were a man, I'd be completely enchanted by you."
Chixue Cha hesitated as she looked at her. Really?
"Of course it's true! How could I lie to you? I never lie."
"Xiao Xue, I noticed your eyes are red; have you been crying?"
Upon hearing this, Chixue Cha quickly touched her eyes and arrogantly lifted her chin. "It's none of your business! Don't meddle!"
"Is it that daughter-in-law from the countryside who bullied you? Let me tell you, she's not worth it; I can't stand her."
"Is that really how you feel?"
"Absolutely! My sister Guo Xiaojuan thinks so too."
"Guo Xiaojuan is your sister?"
Guo Dajuan hurriedly smiled. "Yes, Xiaojuan is my sister. She had a few arguments with her on the train."
Then Guo Dajuan sighed. "It's just a pity for my sister; she's been wronged by that wretched woman and locked up. If my sister gets out, she'll definitely deal with her properly."
After saying this, she cautiously checked Chixue Cha's expression. Seeing her look somewhat hesitant, she quickly pressed on.
"Actually, my sister didn't do anything wrong; she just couldn't stand the way that woman’s family behaved and had a few words with her, which got her arrested. Who knows when she'll be released?"
Chixue Cha's eyes shifted slightly. Here she was fighting alone while that wretched woman had an old scoundrel helping her. It seemed like she should find herself an ally too.
"If it's not too much trouble," Chixue Cha raised an eyebrow at Guo Dajuan and said proudly, "I'll help you with your sister's issue, but you must pay me for my services."
