Chapter 19.2 

  The bedroom murder

Jiang Li and my mother were completely in sync with each other, she was behaving as if he was her biological son whereas the poor I, was being ill-treated and tortured by these two vicious people, where’s the justice in this world!!!

At noon, when my mom was cooking food for lunch I took the opportunity to say: “Mom, Jiang Li loves spicy food. The spicier, the better.”

She looked at me with disdain and said: “I had asked him earlier and he said that other than spicy food he can eat anything.”

Realizing that my little scheme had failed, I immediately left the territory. Anyways, considering how Jiang Li and my mother had joined hands it’s almost impossible to take advantage of any loop hole.

Naturally, just the thought of this evil combination of ‘mother-son’ was enough to make me feel depressed. And at night during dinner one more disturbing element came to increase my suffering-my mother’s daughter.

My sister that is ‘my mother’s daughter’ and my mother did not share any blood ties but the key point was that this D-cup girl, He Zhi, was without any doubt my mother’s daughter. 

As a daughter I was being constantly scolded by mother, as a sister I was scorned by my sister and as a wife I was being trampled down by my husband. Now, I really had a good reason to believe that I was seriously given a wrong script for the play called ‘life’!!!

Anyway, this dinner was a hit; both the guests and hosts were thoroughly enjoying themselves. Two people were castigating, the third one was silently watching while the fourth one quietly shed tears in her heart…….I finally made a very wise decision that was : Never offend Jiang Li and even if I somehow offend him then must not let these two heartless lunatics enjoy at my expense……

After dinner, Jiang Li took my hand, hastily bid goodbye to mom and He Zhi, then put me in the car and sped away.

I obediently sat in the car, without uttering a word.

Jiang Li looked at me from the rear mirror and asked: “Are you still angry?”

I snapped back: “nonsense, why don’t you try and see how it feels when you are alienated by your own family and friends.”

Jiang Li: “I did not know that the whole matter will take such a serious turn, I just wanted to meet your mother and say hello.”

I shook my head and feebly said: “There is no need for such pretensions anymore, you calculated everything really well.”

Jiang Li with a somewhat innocent look said: “I just wanted to give you some face, wanted to see a fresh expression on your face for a change. Who knew you would refuse even this little humility.”

No red face, no breathlessness, such shameless attitude. It seemed the thickness of Jiang Li’s skin had reached the same level as my mother.

Jiang Li who now was relatively timid because of his sinister deeds, decided to compromise first:
“Well, in the future don’t talk about the topic of separation so casually.”

 

In a bit conciliatory tone I said: “It was you who talked about separation.”

Jiang Li added: “Later you can’t starve me to death.”

Me: “First of all, you know that you won’t die so easily.”

After a while, Jiang Li opened his mouth again: “Where is your office? If it’s on the way, I can pick you up daily.”

I assessed him skeptically: “Why are you trying to be so nice to me?”

Jiang Li bluntly spoke: “I have no confidence in your character.” Perhaps this snippersnapper was still afraid that I wouldn’t cook for him daily.

I had to tell him my office address.

After listening to my words Jiang Li was a little dazed. Bored with his reaction, I asked: “So? Is it far from your office?”

“No” Shaking his head, Jiang Li said: “it just sounds somewhat familiar.”

The reputation of XXX advertising company was quite high in the industry so I did not find it strange that Jiang Li was familiar with it, thus I did not think much about it.

However, very soon, I came to know about the meaning behind this so called ‘familiar.’
