Chapter 181: Schadenfreude?
When he saw Aunt Xiang, Shu Chi felt a little like a world away.
From getting along day and night before, to being separated by the world, to suddenly meeting a few days ago, everything seems to be in a dream.
Up to now, the Aunt Xiang in front of her and the gentle and beautiful Aunt Xiang in her impression no longer seem to be the same person.
After talking to Shang Peidi, Qi Xiang stayed in the villa.
It's just that she is an outsider, and although she can have a relatively safe place to live with the light of Shu Chi, she is still restricted in her actions.
The bodyguard made it clear that she could only move there until Shu Chi woke up.
Of course, she can also choose to leave, and the consequence is that she may die without a place to be buried.
Such words made Qi Xiang very frightened, but she also understood that the words of the bodyguard were not unreasonable.
Because the villa is very large and there are many rooms, the place where Shu Chi lives occupies the best position, and Qi Xiang can only live in a simple room on the first floor, plus Shu Chi is not very quiet and moving, and the range of activities is also limited, so even if it is close at hand, he can't hear from the other party at all.
Today, Qi Xiang took off her uniform as a waitress and put on a set of clean clothes sent to her by the villa maid.
When she saw Shu Chi looking at her carefully, she couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes, and she was also a little sad in her heart.
In the morning, when I looked in the mirror, I realized that the years were unforgiving.
Indeed, the old man did not favor her, leaving all kinds of marks on her original smooth and delicate face, and the original shallow expression lines at the corners of the eyes have now become real crow's feet, and there are more than one; The figure is also a lot thinner than before, not the normal slimming, but, I have never slept a single sleep in the past few years; Living in fear and torture every day, it is really not easy to survive until now, and it is completely desperate.
In Shu Chi's eyes, the current Aunt Xiang looks more than ten years older than before, she has changed, not only her face has changed, but also the vicissitudes and vigilance on her face, as well as hatred and hostility.
It was not the gentle Aunt Xiang before, but a woman who had gone through hardships and was calm on the surface but a flame at the bottom of her heart.
Qi Xiang sat in the room, looking at each other face to face with Shu Chi, thinking about each other.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and I have had a conversation with Shang Peidi before, although Qi Xiang was still full of resentment when she saw Shu Chi this time, her expression eased a lot and calmed down a lot.
This is thanks to what Shang Peidi said to her-
The reason why her son is safe is entirely because of Shu Chi. Shu Chi worked alone outside the home, but she did her best for her brother, who was not related by blood, to the point of embarrassment, and he automatically omitted it when she sold herself as a lover.
However, the sensitive Aunt Xiang still heard a rough idea, it should be when Shu Mo needed help the most and Shu Chi was the most difficult, and it was this rich man who stretched out his hand.
Only this point, Aunt Xiang also feels that this Shu Chi still has some conscience.
Of course, she also knows that the skin of a girl who is not a stepdaughter can still be sold for a good price, as long as she wants.
With her life experience for so many years, she doesn't think that the relationship between Shu Chi and this man is a normal relationship between men and women.
First of all, when the three of them sat side by side, she could feel Shu Chi's nervousness and unnaturalness; And the man didn't look at them all the time;
Secondly, Shu Chi never introduced her relationship with that man, and without introducing it, there is only one possibility, that is, it cannot be introduced at all; Even if that man talked to her, he never introduced his relationship with Shu Chi, and even, in one sentence, he actually called "Miss Shu";
None of this is important, the important thing is that she can feel that this man doesn't have a good impression of Shu Chi, but he still has a good heart for Shu Chi.
It's scary to think about.
Back then, her family was still there, and when Shu Chi was still a college student, the city came to the door and said that the matchmaker wanted to marry Shu Chi had already broken through the threshold, and even her college classmates chased her to City C;
It can be said that as long as Shu Chi nods, she can choose any kind of boy.
However, she didn't fancy anyone, but she got along with a boy who was two years younger than her.
Now it seems that she did not get a good result with that boy.
"Split up with that boy?"
She sat down in a chair in front of the window, retracted her gaze, and looked out of the window.
Shu Chi was dressed very conservatively, but he still couldn't cover the bruised kiss marks on his neck.
As a result, the girl who wanted to work hard after graduating from college and was ambitious was reduced to such a point.
The faint question made Shu Chi startled, she was confused at first, and then realized that this Aunt Xiang was asking about Yu Nian, who had already broken up.
Back then, when she and Yu Nian were in frequent contact, Aunt Xiang also used to knock on the side, and that boy was not necessarily reliable.
It's just that at that time, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and she didn't think about where she would go in the future, so she just smiled at Aunt Xiang's reminder.
The short-lived relationship with Yu and the miserable end were the eternal death in her heart, a nightmare that she never wanted to mention in her heart, not to mention that the man, the man who had not even bothered to evaluate half a word so far, had long since forgotten about it, and even if he knelt in front of her and begged her to spit on her, she didn't bother to take a look.
Now, Aunt Xiang suddenly brought up the old things again, presumably because she had some thoughts.
Shu Chi's face suddenly turned red.
"It's divided, it's been divided a long time ago......" she calmed down.
Today's Aunt Xiang, although her reaction was flat, but, at least, it made Shu Chi feel that she was the Aunt Xiang she was familiar with before.
As if to confirm something, Aunt Xiang turned her head and looked at Shu Chi, a light smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "I said a long time ago, he can't give you the ...... you want"
This is also a common saying.
However, at this moment, with her idle expression, these words changed their flavor when Shu Chi heard them.
There is some schadenfreude.
Shu Chi didn't know how he could taste such a taste from this sentence.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, no matter how you listen to it, it seems like Aunt Xiang is mocking herself.
In such an environment, what could she mock herself?
Mocking one's own vanity? Mocking one's current situation? Mocking yourself for all this you have gained without dignity?
That's how it should be.
Because, she clearly saw that when Aunt Xiang said this, she looked at herself, and also consciously glanced out the window.
Outside the window, as inside the window, is extremely luxurious.
"Aunt Xiang, you're wrong, I don't want what you imagined......" Shu Chi sat down on the edge of the bed.
That's also possible.
Qi Xiang didn't say anything, just replied with a vague smile, but people always change, don't they?
