Chapter 26: Unspeakable Suffering

  Suzy cried with tears streaming down her face, her shoulders shaking. Seeing her like this, I couldn't bear to yell at her anymore, so I softened my tone and said: "Suzy, don't be like this, okay? You and Hu Yunwei have been married for a long time, and your feelings for each other have always been good, why are you thinking of getting a divorce?"

  "Susie sobbed and asked: 'Are you disgusted with me because I'm old? Is it because the woman next door is younger and prettier than me, so you don't want to marry me?'"

  Actually, Suzy is not old, she is only 33 years old, just a few years older than me. In terms of appearance, she is no less beautiful than Chu Xue. However, her personality is something I really can't accept. She is already strict with me now, and if we get married in the future, her control will become even more severe. At that time, my life will be even more miserable.

  "I comforted her: 'Don't be silly, I'm not disgusted by your age, nor am I dissatisfied with your looks compared to others. It's just that we can never get married, you have your family and I have my own pursuits, we can't come together, do you understand?'"

  "I don't understand! All I know is that I can't live without you, as long as we're on the same wavelength, nothing's impossible, sword~sword! I'll do anything for you, I'll give up everything, and yet you still won't marry me?" Suzie said, almost pleadingly.

  Listening to her humble and pleading tone, I felt increasingly disgusted. Why should she be willing to marry him just because he had an obligation to marry her? I didn't want to get entangled in this issue anymore, so I walked over to the sofa in frustration, sat down, pulled out a cigarette, and prepared to light it up.

  Suzy rushed over to me, picked up the lighter from the coffee table, lit it, and leaned in very attentively. I hesitated for a moment before using her flame to light mine.

  She might have known I was in a bad mood, so she didn't continue to pester me about the topic earlier, but instead very obediently knelt on the sofa, massaging my shoulders or patting my back.

  Suddenly, I felt that I owed this woman too much. She selflessly devoted her body to me for my pleasure and helped me with laundry and household chores. She took care of me meticulously and would cook whatever I wanted. In life, she was a flawless good woman, but in spirit, she was a terrifying ruler.

  The next day, I took the hot breakfast to Chu Xue's house as usual. She only ate two mouthfuls and stopped eating. I saw that she was not in good spirits and advised her to eat a bit more. She coldly said: "If you want to eat, you can eat by yourself, don't bother about me!"

  She forcibly shut me down and I didn't dare say anything else. Later, on the way to send her to the company, she was also silent, as if in the past, we would chat about something, but today, the atmosphere was not right at all.

  I had a premonition that she was definitely angry about last night's events, so I took the initiative to explain: "Chu Xue, that... that woman downstairs, usually has a good relationship with me, likes to joke around, and whenever we meet, she calls me 'darling' and whatnot. It's all just joking around, don't take it seriously. My relationship with her is purely platonic, like siblings..."

  "What's your relationship, no need to explain it to me!" Chu Xue interrupted me and said, "This is your freedom, I have no right to interfere with your emotional life, but that woman is a married woman after all, advise you to be careful in the future."

  "Got it, I'll handle it well." I nodded in response, thinking that as long as Chu Xue didn't fire me over this, it meant I still had a chance to redeem myself in her eyes.

  After sending Chu Xue to the company, I went to a cooking training class. Through my recent hard work and study, my cooking skills have improved greatly, but Chu Xue's mouth is too picky, her taste sometimes changes suddenly, so she still thinks my culinary skills are not good enough and wants me to learn for a while longer.

  In the afternoon, as usual, I would receive a call from Huo Jie and then get into her Porsche 911 to head to Linhu Villa to attend to Yu Jie. It had been over half a month since I started attending to Yu Jie, and I had more or less figured out her temper and preferences. As a result, the number of times I got beaten up gradually decreased. However, when faced with her perverted demands, my heart would still feel a wave of nausea.

  Today, Fox sister's mood was very down. While driving, when she encountered a red light, she would scold and curse. When she encountered people crossing the road, she would stick her head out of the car window and scold them as "son of a bitch looking for death!"

  Out of concern, I carefully asked her what was wrong. She said in a bad mood: "Yu Jie just got angry and smashed many things, also scolded me for a while. It seems that she encountered something unpleasant at work. You'd better be careful when you see her later!"

  I'm a bit scared, thinking that Fox sister has always been Jade sister's trusted sidekick, and she was scolded until her face was covered in blood, so wouldn't my own outcome be even more tragic?

  "Sister Fox, why don't you just take me back? I'm scared to death now. What if I accidentally offend her, she might beat me to death."

  "Looking at the entire Zichuan City, there aren't many who are more ruthless and cunning than her. This is probably a self-protective measure for someone in a high position! However, towards you, I think she's still relatively kind, because before you, not many could last over half a month, you've already done very well."

  Sister Hu's words were half seawater and half flames, I couldn't tell if she was scaring me or praising me. I asked with a quivering heart: "What exactly does Jade Sister do?"

  "She's a high-ranking official, and she likes to control power even more than controlling people's lives and deaths. This is all because of the men who hurt her in the past, which has led to her twisted psychology. In short, she's a formidable figure."

  I still wanted to ask something, but the car had already arrived at Linhu Villa. Huojiu completed her mission and left, I walked into the villa alone with a heart that was rushing to the Yellow Springs.

  But the living room was in a mess, with sofa cushions, red wine bottles and glass cups scattered all over the place. The famous painting "East Fence Chrysanthemum Appreciation Picture" by Tang Bohu on the wall had also been splashed with red wine, probably a fake one! Otherwise, it wouldn't have been ruined like this.

  Just as I was about to pack up, I heard Yujie calling my name. I looked around in all directions, but couldn't see her anywhere. Dammit, this villa is too big, it's a real hassle trying to find someone.

  "Xia Jian, have you got shit in your ears? Do you need Yujie to call you a second time before you can hear clearly? Hurry up and come over!" Yujie's voice came again, this time louder and clearer, she should be in the cloakroom downstairs.

  In the dressing room, Yujie was wearing a three-point set and selecting clothes. When she saw me, she took out a purple skirt and held it up in front of her, asking: "How about this one?"

  I didn't know what she was singing about, I just mechanically nodded and said it was beautiful. She then put on this dress and found a matching necklace from the jewelry cabinet to wear. It wasn't until later that I realized she was preparing for a private party and wanted me to accompany her throughout.

  I'm a bit puzzled, since being kept by her, she's been implementing a policy of confinement on me, why did she bring me out this time? I don't know if it's good or bad.
