Chapter 31: Teaching the Abusive Man a Lesson
Chapter 31: Teaching the Abusive Man a Lesson
Jiang Xia's arm was suddenly grabbed, and she jumped in surprise. She quickly pulled her hand back and turned to look. She didn't recognize the person, but for some reason, a wave of disgust washed over her.
Such heavy resentment!
Jiang Xia's heart raced. She took a few steps back, keeping a distance from the man and asked, "What do you want?"
Wu Qizhi had planned to go to the village to find Jiang Xia and see if she had divorced. He came to the market to buy some fruit to take to her, thinking it wouldn't be right to show up empty-handed. The fruits at the rural market were cheaper, so he had come here, only to unexpectedly run into her.
He happily took a few steps forward, reaching out to grab Jiang Xia. "Xiaxia, you're here too?"
Jiang Xia had a pretty good idea of who it was. She avoided his outstretched hand and snapped, "If you want to talk, just talk. Don't touch me, or I'll scream!"
Wu Qizhi was stung by Jiang Xia's rejection.
This woman looked down on him but still wanted to use him to help her get a divorce! He would make her pay, make her obey him.
He smiled. "Xiaxia, didn't you want me to pretend to run away with you to help you get a divorce? I'm sorry, it was my fault. I thought it would be bad for your reputation, so I ran away."
"I was doing it for you. Running away would ruin your reputation. And that day, I knew you could swim, so I pushed you into the water, not on purpose, of course. It was the only way to protect your reputation and prevent people from saying you were fickle. By the way, has Comrade Zhou misunderstood you? Is he still unwilling to divorce you? That beast is only after your family's money. You were right to want a divorce. Do you still want to divorce him? I can take you away right now. If you have nowhere to stay, you can live with me. You know I've liked you for a long time. I'll help you unconditionally."
Once he lured her to his place, he could do whatever he wanted with her. He would take everything from her, and she would have no choice but to obey him. Then he would make her go to her father and get him a job. If her father refused, he wouldn't marry her, and he was sure her father wouldn't dare refuse.
Jiang Xia didn't miss the sinister glint in his eyes.
She had just learned that the original Jiang Xia only wanted to pretend to elope with this man. The book didn't mention this, probably because the original Jiang Xia wasn't the main character and the details weren't elaborated on.
The book only wrote that after divorcing the male lead, her parents wouldn't let her back into the house and pressured her to reconcile. Desperate, she went to Wu Qizhi's place, only to be half-forced and half-fooled into staying with him. She was eventually beaten to death by him.
Jiang Xia said coldly, "No need. Go away! Don't ever find me again. I don't need your help!"
Jiang Xia turned and walked away.
Wu Qizhi followed her. "Xiaxia, are you still angry that I didn't take you away that day? I was really doing it for you. Didn't you want to divorce Zhou Chenglei? When I pushed you into the water, it was to help you get a divorce. Zhou Chenglei, being a man, would have agreed if he saw you jump into the water for a divorce. It also protected your reputation. I did it all for you! Xiaxia, is Zhou Chenglei still refusing to divorce you? Come with me now! I'll help you, I'll take you away! I can take you away right now!"
Zhou Chenglei hurried over, his steps faltering when he saw the two of them together.
Jiang Xia didn't even spare him a glance, walking around him and continuing on.
Wu Qizhi couldn't resist and reached out to wrap his arm around her waist, coaxing, "Xiaxia..."
Zhou Chenglei's eyes turned cold, and he moved quickly.
But Jiang Xia was faster.
The moment his hand touched her clothes, she grabbed his wrist and twisted it behind his back.
The air seemed to crackle with a faint "snap."
Wu Qizhi’s arm had dislocated, and the pain contorted his entire body. "Ah, it hurts... Xia, let go!"
Jiang Xia released his hand and kicked him in the butt, shouting, "Rape! Rape!..."
People around them turned to look.
Wu Qizhi fell face-first to the ground, struggling to get up. "What are you talking about? You were the one who said you wanted a divorce and to leave with me!"
Jiang Xia stomped on his chest, pinning him back down. "Rape! I don’t know this man. He touched my waist, he’s a pervert. I even saw him touch an old lady's butt and deliberately bump into a pretty lady..."
She had initially planned to find a secluded spot to give him a good beating and vent some frustration for the original owner of this body. But how dare he touch her waist? He was asking for it!
Jiang Xia decided to embellish the story. After all, the market was crowded, and it wasn’t uncommon for women to be accidentally bumped into.
"See, I thought someone was feeling me up! It was you!" The old lady kicked off her shoe and started beating Wu Qizhi’s head. "I’ll beat you, you pervert! You dare to take advantage of me! I’ll beat you to a pulp..."
A young and pretty lady joined in, wielding a washboard. "Pervert, I’ll teach you to bump into me..."
Jiang Xia: "..."
She was just making it up!
And people actually believed her?
"Help, I didn’t, I didn’t do anything, don’t hit me, she’s lying, I didn’t touch anyone, she was the one who lured me..." Wu Qizhi was being pummeled by three people, covering his head and screaming for help.
Zhou Chenglei silently stepped forward and took the shopping basket from Jiang Xia, making it easier for her to fight.
Jiang Xia felt someone taking her basket and swung a punch, almost hitting Zhou Chenglei’s handsome face. He caught her fist with his large hand.
Jiang Xia paused, and Zhou Chenglei let go. "It’s me."
"Can you hold this for me?" Jiang Xia handed him the basket and other items, then re-joined the fray.
This body harbored a deep resentment toward the abuser, probably left over from the original owner. Jiang Xia decided to help the original owner vent some of that frustration. After all, she was now using this body, and any lingering resentment would hurt her.
The three women beat Wu Qizhi until he howled in pain, and he eventually found a chance to escape and ran away.
The fat old lady placed her hands on her hips and yelled at his retreating back, "If you dare to be a pervert again, I’ll take you to the police station! My brother is a cop!"
Then she turned to Jiang Xia. "Thanks, girl, you’re a real friend! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have found the culprit who felt me up!"
The pretty lady also thanked Jiang Xia. "Thank you, I hate people like that."
Jiang Xia smiled. "You’re welcome! I should thank you. He was the one who touched me, and you helped me teach him a lesson."
The two women cursed Wu Qizhi one more time before leaving.
"Let’s go! We’re going home," Jiang Xia said, smiling at Zhou Chenglei.
After giving the man who had wronged the original owner a good beating, Jiang Xia felt the resentment in her body dissipate. She felt refreshed, as if her strength had returned, and the weakness she had felt was gone.
Jiang Xia felt that this body was now truly hers.
She walked briskly with Zhou Chenglei toward the tractor.
Zhou Chenglei couldn’t help but glance at her. She was so happy after beating Wu Qizhi?
Well, Zhou Chenglei felt a little happy too.
Not just because she had beaten Wu Qizhi, but because of her words: "We’re going home."
He felt that something had changed.
