Qi Jingshu, previously riled up by hatred for her abuser from the grievances accumulated over the years, held up her cold expression. As soon as she got into the car, the trembling that she forced down just now showed on her fingers.
Her heart beat fast, but she had never been so happy at this moment.
She could now also stand up and resist.
She could also, with few words, talk back to the woman who had arbitrarily abused her and used her as an outlet before, and make her speechless and blue in the face.
After that, there was greater outrage.
Over the years, Qi Jingshu had more to think about what really happened than just have nightmares and not move on from her past.
She kept pondering why Cao Jing would target her so much when she hadn’t even noticed her before that.
At that time, Qi Jingshu was buried in her studies every day, so it was hard for her to go on vacation. On top of that, she was busy with housework at home, so she was not very clear about what happened at school.
Therefore, she absentmindedly accepted the violence and spent those two weeks in desperation.
Two weeks is not very long, but it was enough to ruin a girl’s self-esteem and life, and Qi Jingshu herself was not a particularly strong person. If her brother had not pulled her back to her senses, she might not be alive today.
Now, after facing her again with her own eyes, and even resisting Cao Jing, it dawned on her that the woman, as it turned out, was not invulnerable.
She could also protect herself and stand in front of Cao Jing, who once almost drove her to jump off a building. After seeing the look on that woman’s face that changed because of what she said, Qi Jingshu just sort of, felt completely appeased from that incident.
Not long after she got in the car, Wei Mingyan also came inside. He started driving, and later made a phone call while wearing headphones.
“Chief Cao, my girlfriend was working in your company and had some trouble with your daughter today. I am taking her back first, and I hope you can let your company’s personnel handle the procedures.”
“No, I have an appointment tomorrow. See you next time.”
Qi Jingshu couldn’t hear the other person’s voice, but could see the expression on her boyfriend’s face.
He was smiling, with anger evident in his voice. After he cut off the call, Wei Mingyan tore off his headphones. His smile then fell, and his face became anxious.
The car slowly pulled up to the side of the road. Just now, the man who dealt with the other person with a shallow smile turned his head, his eyes now full of guilt as he took his girlfriend’s hand.
“I should have come to pick you up earlier. I’m sorry.”
It was clearly not his fault. It was as if he had fallen from the sky, a godsend to help her get away, but her boyfriend apologized so tenderly as if he had done something wrong.
Qi Jingshu’s suffocation that had just been there disappeared without a trace under such a warm and mellow sight.
She was no longer the same person as before when she let people bully her and didn’t dare to complain. Now, even if she quit her job, she could find another one.
Those people were just disgusting and will only bully the weak.
“Thank you, Mingyan.”
Qi Jingshu showed a smile, one which was very shallow but dazzling.
She suddenly figured out that it was not her who did something wrong. Therefore, why should she let herself be belittled and tortured for the sins of those people?
Only …
With some hesitation, she looked around at the obviously high-end luxury car she was in. Qi Jingshu looked at her boyfriend doubtfully. “Mingyan, this car? And Chief Cao earlier …”
Although she didn’t hear what the other person said, it was clear that this Chief Cao was the CEO Cao of the company.
“Jingshu, I was just about to tell you …”
Wei Mingyan gently caressed his girlfriend’s white palm. His warm voice was faint, but it had the power to convince others.
“The money we won allowed me to start a company, and it was so hectic at the start of the year because I was also following up on company research as the researcher I dug up and hired was a real genius. He developed a product that could improve the main function of mechanical products. Although it has not been sold yet, almost all companies focusing on science and technology want this research.”
“Although the company is not stable yet, with this, other companies will send a lot of resources to ask for cooperation.”
Seeing Qi Jingshu looking at him, his handsome face slightly raised his lips, with a little bit of his familiar naughty smile showing. “It’s like originally, we all planted plum trees together, and since the plums that came out were about the same size, of course their prices would be about the same. However, this time, I have a special fertilizer on hand, and the plum trees that use my fertilizer will thrive, with our plums bigger, tastier, and more nutritious than everyone else’s plums. So, won’t the whole market buy my plums?”
“I’m not a plum seller, and I won’t get as much profit as they do, but only I can make them earn more money, and it’s an instinct for businessmen to make profits, so they have a need for me.”

After saying that, his smile widened. He reached out his hand and gently touched the tip of his beloved’s nose. “Your man is now considered to be sought after in the whole country.”
Qi Jingshu listened to the metaphor from Wei Mingyan, and was happy for him and a little worried. “But the Cao’s made such a big deal of it, and you were so rude to him earlier. Will it have any effect…”
She hated Cao Jing, but she didn’t want to get in the way of her boyfriend.
“Don’t worry, the Cao’s are tripping over their own tail. Chief Cao is getting old and is about to retire, and his heirs can’t support the company wall’s, so there’s no need for me to deal with them. ”
(Tnote: cant support the wall = un able to hold up/ might let something turn to ruin.)
Seeing his girlfriend tilt her head in incomprehension, Wei Mingyan, with a harmless smile, leaned over to help her fasten her seatbelt that she just forgot to fasten, and gently said, “Brother Jingye already told me. The grievance you have suffered before, I’ll help you get even.”
When Qi Jingshu’s eyes suddenly flashed with worry and she opened her mouth to speak, the man’s slender fingertips rested on her soft lips again.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m fine, and will never hurt myself.”
He stroked his girlfriend’s head again as if to reassure a small child, and started the car up again then drove to the Qi’s home.
Qi Jingshu drank wine that night. After suffering so much stimulation earlier that day, her mood fluctuated greatly. She also bravely attacked her enemy for the first time, and was later coaxed by Wei Mingyan. Now, she laid in bed with her eyes closed, as if asleep.
Gently straightening his sleeping girlfriend’s hair, the man stood up and moved his long legs to the courtyard.
Qi Jingye, rarely at home, was having snacks on the table with a few bottles of wine. He saw Wei Mingyan come out and stretched out his calloused hand, knocking on the table. “Come drink.”
Wei Mingyan relented, and there was a gentle, harmless smile on his lips. He sat next to Qi Jingye, opened a bottle of wine, poured it into a cup, and raised his glass with a smile. His eyes were still ever so gentle. “Brother Jingye, cheers?”
Qi Jingye chewed peanuts and toasted Wei Mingyan directly with the bottle. He took a few gulps directly from the bottleneck and put down the bottle. Perhaps it was the wine or something else, but there was a hidden redness in his eyes.
“You…” He opened his mouth and paused for a few seconds before he said, “You are better than me.”
He was able to protect his sister, which was what he once wanted to do so badly but couldn’t.
Wei Mingyan also drank wine, and his face flushed. After listening to Qi Jingye, he smiled shyly, having the same weak look he had when he first came to Qi’s house to meet the family.
But Qi Jingye had lost his original contempt.

He thought that being able to fight was the only way to protect his sister, but now he knew that real revenge was to kill people without seeing blood.
Looking at the man whose face was still gentle, Qi Jingye took another sip of wine and said with some self-deprecation, “At that time, I thought you were just like my sister, both easy to bully.”
“Brother Jingye should know that in fact, sometimes, being bullied is nothing. People are alive, and it is inevitable to endure this and that. When I was a teacher before, I didn’t suffer any less indignities. At that time, all I thought was, just bear it, bear it.”
Wei Mingyan bowed his head, sipped his glass of wine, and looked up at Qi Jingye. His voice was firm as he said, “Although there are things that you can endure, you can’t allow your precious ones to suffer though.”
Qi Jingye was startled to see his future brother-in-law, a man in his thirties, actually saying that as his eyes turned even redder. He hurriedly hid his face and rubbed his eyes. His voice was hoarse when he said, “That’s right. You can bear it, but you can’t bear it when it’s on your loved ones.”
“When you told me what Jingshu had experienced, I first felt distressed. Then I strongly wanted to retaliate for her.”
“She was young, and was splashed with cold water in the middle of winter. She was ostracized by the whole class, as everyone stayed away from her, and even when she was asleep at night she would be dragged to the floor by her hair…”
Wei Mingyan squeezed the cup in his hands, and the smile that hung on his face like a mask dissolved into a gloomy and dreadful one. “I am a teacher, and I know better how much psychological trauma a child of that age would have. You don’t have to tell me. I know she would have nightmares all night long and be afraid of contact with others.”
“The first time I saw Jingshu, she was beautiful. She was very beautiful, but she had no confidence at all, and she belittled herself, but it was clearly not her fault. Why, in the end, when the abuser gets away with it, does the victim have to pay for it?”
“I am her man. I have this responsibility. Let those people pay the price!”
“But if you do this, will it affect your company? That’s the Cao’s…”
The man whose face was flushed because of the wine he drank quirked his lips and smiled, raising an eyebrow at his future brother-in-law. “I don’t have to do anything, someone will help me. ”
“As long as other companies have mastered this technology, the leader who had nothing will only become the target in everyone’s eyes. We just have to wait, and soon, good news will come.”
In such a short moment, Qi Jingye had already drunk three bottles of wine. He drank so much in one breath, and his eyes were already blurring. However, looking at Wei Mingyan, he still smiled gently. Suddenly, it felt as if the man was a fox.
Why was he fooled by this guy’s harmless appearance when he first met him… This guy was too well disguised.
No, not right.
His wife had said that Mingyan won a battle of words with Old Lady Jin, and had given her a lot of tips on how to deal with such people.
The day before yesterday, she was very happy to say that this method was very useful, which didn’t hurt herself, but also succeeded in making those ‘good’ people go away.
Qi Jingye’s chaotic brain was awake for a second.
His fangs, at that time, Wei Mingyan was already apparent ah.

“Good, good boy, brother … to you …”
–Bang!
Qi Jingye managed to drink himself to sleep.
Wei Mingyan, who couldn’t stand alcohol, only drank a glass of wine, but his head was already dizzy. He tossed his head and got up to help his future big brother. They stumbled toward the house.
“Brother Jingye, you are so heavy …”
“Call… why call me Brother Jingye … burp~, call me Elder Brother, Mingyan… Elder Brother, Elder Brother recognizes you as a brother-in-law. You are good to Jingshu, you are … my good Brother-in-law…”
“You have to take good care of her, take care of her.”
“Don’t worry, I will take good care of Jingshu. I will make her happy, won’t let her cry, and won’t let her have nightmares. ”
“Good, good Brother-in-law, give me a hug!”
“Elder Brother, that’s a pillar, I’m here…”
“I’m sorry… Come on, one more hug!”
“That’s another pillar…”
The two men helped each other into the house. She should have fallen asleep in the house, but Qi Jingshu hid behind the side of the wall and covered her mouth with red eyes, tears falling as she tried not to cry out.
It turns out that Mingyan did it for her…
How could he be so good, so good…
At the side of the Qi family gate.
Old Lady Jin circled around the lofty looking car several times, snorting with disdain.
It seems that Qi Jingshu, that girl, has found another rich man ah! Also, last time, that person scolded her for Qi Jingshu, and now what, isn’t he still dumped?
No, the Qi’s girl dislikes the poor and loves the rich, she must spread the word and take her revenge for the last time!
