Chapter 277 I Did Hit Her
Qiao Jingyu watched Tang Jiayu's hard work with an expressionless face, and a sneer rose in her heart. Tang Jiayu pretended to be pitiful and said to Luo Huimin: "Grandma, don't blame Jingyu, it's all my fault..." At the same time, a few drops of crystal clear tears squeezed out of her big watery eyes; on the other hand, she would occasionally glance at Qiao Jingyu with the corner of her eyes, and her eyes were clearly flashing with provocation and pride.
Qiao Jingyu thought to herself, "Hmph, you want to pretend to be a good person in front of me? That's not that easy! But you do manage to find the right balance, much better than Qiao Jingshan's stiff acting." Thinking of this, Qiao Jingyu's mouth corners lifted slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.
Since Tang Jiayu was going to act out this scene, he might as well accompany her and have some fun. So, Qiao Jingyu turned to look at Luo Huimin, nodded without hesitation, and said softly: "Yes, yes, I did hit her."
At this moment, a hint of hard-to-conceal joy flashed across Tang Jiayu's tearful eyes, but she still kept her head lowered and said nothing, only her body trembling slightly and she let out a suppressed and slight sob.
Hearing Qiao Jingyu admitting to hitting someone, Luo Huimin's face suddenly became a little gloomy. She frowned and accused with a little dissatisfaction: "How can you hit someone casually? After all, Jiayu is a guest of our family. How can you treat a guest like this?"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Tang Jiayu's heart. She originally thought that she could win Luo Huimin's sympathy and support with her superb acting skills, but she didn't expect Luo Huimin to say such words that regarded her as an outsider. For a moment, Tang Jiayu felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, and the expression on her face became more and more pitiful.
Duan Yuchen, who was standing nearby, could not help but frown slightly when he saw this. He was about to speak up to defend Qiao Jingyu. However, at this moment, Qiao Jingyu gently pulled his hand and quietly stroked his palm with her fingers. This subtle movement seemed to send some kind of signal, which made Duan Yuchen immediately understand and temporarily suppress the urge to speak.
Duan Yuchen clenched Qiao Jingyu's small hand and said nothing.
Qiao Jingyu slowly lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake. She looked so well-behaved that people couldn't help but feel pity for her. Her voice was soft and low, as if filled with deep regret: "It's my fault. I was too impulsive. When I heard Jiayu say a few ugly words, I couldn't control myself and hit her. Now thinking back, I really regret it..."
After saying these words, Qiao Jingyu slowly raised her head. Her originally bright eyes had turned red, and tears were faintly visible in her eyes. She stared at Tang Jiayu with a guilty look on her face, and said with trembling lips: "Jiayu, I'm really sorry, please don't be angry with me, okay? I know I went too far this time, and I sincerely apologize to you. I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive my recklessness and ignorance, okay?"
However, Tang Jiayu was completely dumbfounded at this moment. This scene was completely different from what she had experienced before! Just now, no matter what she said, Qiao Jingyu always had a cold and indifferent attitude. But when she accidentally mentioned Qiao Jingyu's mother, she only saw the other party's face suddenly darken, but she didn't expect Qiao Jingyu to suddenly wave his palm without any warning and slap her in the face.
Just now, Qiao Jingyu was so majestic and domineering. However, now, this delicate and well-behaved woman in front of him, who was as gentle as a docile little lamb, was she really the same Qiao Jingyu?
Qiao Jingyu looked at Tang Jiayu timidly. Seeing that the other party had not responded to what she had just said, she spoke cautiously again: "Otherwise... Jiayu, you can also slap me. I will definitely not fight back, okay?"
Luo Huimin on the side frowned, "Do you think Jiayu is the same as you who hits people at every turn? Let me tell you, Jiayu is not as rude as you! She has a heart as broad as the sea and a temperament as elegant as orchid, so she would not do such a thing!" As soon as the voice fell, Luo Huimin turned her head and looked at Tang Jiayu, and asked with concern: "Jiayu, since Jingyu has realized her mistake, it is up to you to decide how to deal with her next. Don't worry, I am here to support you, and I will never let you hit you for no reason!"
At this moment, Tang Jiayu's anger had already burned fiercely. She wanted to rush forward and slap Qiao Jingyu hard. No, no, no, how could just a few slaps relieve her hatred? At least ten or even a hundred slaps would be needed. It would be best if Qiao Jingyu's foxy face could be swollen like a pig's head, so that she could dispel her hatred! But reason told Tang Jiayu that she must not act so impulsively. After all, if she really started to fight, wouldn't it be exactly what Luo Huimin said, turning her into a narrow-minded, vulgar woman with no temperament?
Luo Huimin wouldn't like such a woman, and Duan Yuchen would like her even less.
Tang Jiayu clenched her teeth, her heart burning with anger. She wished she could tear Qiao Jingyu into pieces immediately, but she forced herself to look magnanimous and said softly, "Grandma, don't be angry, let's forget about it. In fact, Jingyu has already realized her mistake. As the saying goes, 'It is a great help to admit one's mistakes and improve them'! Besides, from today on, I will also live here. We still have a long time to spend together in the future. Let's all be more understanding and tolerant of each other." After saying that, she revealed a gentle and lovely smile.
After hearing this, Luo Huimin patted Tang Jiayu's hand with satisfaction and praised: "Our Jiayu is still sensible! However, Jingyu really went too far this time and even hit someone. This matter cannot be let go easily. Otherwise, if it gets out, won't others say that our Duan family doesn't even know the basic way of hospitality?" After that, Luo Huimin's face sank, and she turned her head and stared at Qiao Jingyu coldly, saying sternly: "Jingyu, your temper is really too impatient. How can you go on like this? You must change it! It happens that I have a Heart Sutra upstairs, which can help people calm down and concentrate. Today, I will punish you to copy this Heart Sutra fifty times, and you are not allowed to go to bed until you finish copying!"
Luo Huimin stood up after she finished speaking and said, "Come on, follow me upstairs."
"grandmother……"
"Don't try to plead for your wife. It's useless. Once you enter the Duan family's door, you have to listen to me." Luo Huimin interrupted Duan Yuchen in a cold voice.
Qiao Jingyu gently held Duan Yuchen's hand and said, "It's okay. I was wrong. I am willing to accept the punishment."
Qiao Jingyu followed Luo Huimin upstairs. Luo Huimin stopped and turned around to say to Duan Yuchen, "Xiaochen, you and Jingyu should stay at the villa tonight. You go back first. I'll take Jingyu back after she finishes copying the sutras."
