After Chen Jun left, Qiao Ning had already not eaten anything for a whole day. She was so hungry that she got up to eat despite her sore body. She was so exhausted that she did not even heat her food before eating. She took a quick bite, then hurriedly headed straight to bed to sleep.
She slept until noon, and when she reached out to find her phone, she realized it was almost one o’clock. There were a few missed calls and video missed calls, as well as an umpteen number of messages from Chen Jun.
9.00 in the morning [Wife~ Why didn’t you answer the phone? Not awake yet? ]
9.30 in the morning [I have already helped you ask for three days off. Including the weekends, you can rest for five days straight. Eat well, sleep well and wait for me to come back. ]
11:00 noon [Still not awake? Miss you. When you wake up and give me a video call. Don’t forget to apply the anti-swelling ointment, I want to help you apply it myself. ]
12.00 noon [Are you not awake yet? Have you disappeared? Um?? ]
12.30 noon [If you still are not replying to this message again, I’m going to buy a ticket and fly back!]
The corner of Qiao Ning’s mouth raised into a smile as she stared at the mobile phone screen. She was not bothered at all but felt that Chen Jun was very sweet. She also finally understood the days when she was in college and her childhood friend was in a relationship. They are glued together every day, and even after they returned to the school hostel, they continued to chat on the phone, or else her WeChat messages would ring non-stop.
She really couldn’t understand it at that time, only feel that the two of them were like Siamese twins, and they didn’t have any sense of space for each other. However, her childhood friend was very happy every day and claimed that she was not tired of it. The sweet, dizzy sensation made her want to spend every second with him.
Qiao Ning thought that if it were her, she would be annoyed. If WeChat kept ringing, she would block the other party. Unexpectedly, now it was her turn, and she felt the same as her best friend.
Rubbing his eyes, Qiao Ning sat up, smoothed her hair, and gave Chen Jun a video call.
The video connected, and Chen Jun sat in a suit and leather shoes at the conference table. With a shushing gesture, he signalled for her not to speak as he was in a meeting.
When there was a pause between words, Chen Jun would calmly look at the phone screen, staring at Qiao Ning for a few seconds, and then continue to work.
The two didn’t say a word, but Qiao Ning didn’t think it was boring at all. She looked at Chen Jun with a smile. When he was working, he wore a neat suit and was as charming as he was sweating on the basketball court. He was handsome and not self-conscious.
Compared to how fierce he was on the bed, they were like completely different people. Of course, Qiao Ning likes every aspect; otherwise, she would not be coaxed by him again and again, pressed onto the bed, and fucked.
Qiao Ning was staring fascinatedly when the doorbell rang suddenly, Qiao Ning put down the phone, got out of bed in a casual nightdress, and then took the phone to open the door.
It was Chen Jun’s mother, and her ‘mother-in-law’ stood at the door with a cold face.
After opening the door, she took a few steps in, entered the living room aggressively, and sat on the sofa, glaring at Qiao Ning, “Where’s my son!”
Qiao Ning was a little stunned, although Chen Jun’s mother had always been dissatisfied with her, she was just not very warm to her. When she mentioned the matter of fertility, she would say a few stronger words, which had never been like this today.
Qiao Ning closed the door and hurriedly turned the screen of her mobile phone towards her mother-in-law, then hung up the phone in a hurry for fear of disturbing Chen Jun’s meeting.
She sat down and said, “Chen Jun has gone on a business trip.”
“Okay, he’s not here, I’ll ask you in detail! You coaxed my son into a fake marriage with you?! What’s your purpose?! To hook him up, trying to marry him in vain. I couldn’t figure out why he didn’t want all the good girls from good families, but he wanted you, a yellow-haired girl*.” Every word that came out of Chen Mother’s mouth was aggressive and forceful.
When she mentioned the fake marriage, Qiao Ning was dumbfounded by the question, and her mind was a mess.
How did she know that she and Chen Jun were married under false pretenses? What did Chen Jun say?
Impossible!! After Chen Jun lost his memory, he firmly believed they were a real couple!
“Not speaking?! You are admitting it by staying silent! Fortunately, the certificate is also fake; I don’t want to think about how much of my son’s property you would have tried to take away from him! You are a young girl; how can you be so tricky? And the wedding is a big deal if you let your relatives and friends find out about this fake marriage. Where do we put our old faces? People would say we are cheating on gift money! You are morally corrupt, you know!!” The more she said, the more agitated she was. She pointed at Qiao Ning, wishing she could go up and slap her twice.
“You have been married for a year and have refused to have children! Fortunately, you do not have children, but you have put my son off for so long! He is 30 years old and will soon pass the golden age to have children. If he did not have children in time, would you be able to compensate!?”
Qiao Ning’s head was buzzing; she was dizzy after being scolded repeatedly, and tears rolled in her eyes. She wanted to explain, “Mom~ Chen Jun and I…”
“Don’t call me mom! You are not my daughter-in-law either! Go! Pack up and go now! Don’t let me see you!!” Chen Mother said. She went into the room and wrapped up Qiao Ning’s clothes and skin care products haphazardly, then dragged Qiao Ning with one hand and pulled open the door to fling things directly out the door.
“Go! If you don’t leave, I’ll call the police! I’ll sue you for trespassing in the house!”
Looking at the scene in front of her, Qiao Ning’s heart was full of mixed feelings, grievances, humiliation, and anger, all intertwined! Tears welled up in her eyes.
Qiao Ning, who has never blushed with anyone and said strong words, squatted down and picked up the clothes, staring at Chen Mother and saying, “Auntie, as an elder, don’t you feel ashamed at all for doing such a thing? I can leave now, I’m leaving, even if you come and beg me, I won’t come back!!”
“You are a junior, how do you talk to your elders? “Do you have any kind of upbringing?” Chen Mother became irritated and pointed at Qiao Ning continuing to reprimand her.
Huo Wenbin suddenly appeared at the door, pulled Qiao Ning behind him, stood in front of her, and said unceremoniously, “Do you look like an elder for being old and disrespectful?! The word “upbringing” coming out of your mouth is simply insulting!”
“Xiao Ning, let’s go!!” Huo Wenbin said, grabbing Qiao Ning’s wrist and striding away.
“You you!! You…” Before Chen Mother could finish speaking, the two had already entered the elevator.
Qiao Ning was crying, with tears all over her face, and she had not recovered when she sat in the car. She couldn’t believe what had just happened.
“Xiao Ning, are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
Huo Wenbin couldn’t help but feel distressed and worried when he saw Qiao Ning’s bloodless and pale face.
“No need… take me home.” Qiao Ning’s eyes were downcast, and tears fell in drops on the back of her hands.
Huo Wenbin stretched out his hand to wipe the tears for Qiao Ning, but she subconsciously avoided it, his hand froze in mid-air, and took it back after a while.
After sending Qiao Ning home, the parents saw that their daughter was wearing pyjamas, her hair was messy, her face was pale, and she was holding a pile of messy clothes. They quickly stepped forward, helped their daughter sit down, and asked urgently, “What’s wrong? How did you go out like this? Or Wen Bin sent you here? Chen Jun, he bullied you?”
Qiao Ning shook her head, bit her lower lip, and wept without saying a word.
“Chen Jun’s parents found out about her fake marriage with Chen Jun and kicked her out!”
When Huo Wenbin explained the situation, Qiao Ning’s parents were stunned and dumbfounded.
“What…a fake marriage?! His parents kicked you out!! Is it true? Chen Jun didn’t stop her? Daughter, don’t cry, Daddy will go to them and reason with them. Whether it was a fake marriage or not, one drives people out of the house like this!” Qiao Father said angrily, as he was about to go out, Qiao Mother stopped him.
“What are you in a hurry for? Ask first. After we are clear of the situation, let alone you, I would be the first one who is not willing. I can scold her for three days and three nights!!” Qiao Mother sat down and asked patiently, “Daughter, tell me, what’s going on, I don’t believe that Chen Jun was there. If he were how could he let his parents bully you like this? You two were still so loving and went back together yesterday, didn’t you?”
Yesterday, she cleaned up the sheets, and although she was not present, she knew how loving the young couple were.
