Chapter 62: Where's the Ticket?

  The winter vacation was very short, and in the short winter vacation, Ji Xiaowen improved her English level to grade six. However, she felt that it was far from enough, and she thought that her oral English was very poor. In fact, she knew that the reason why her oral English was poor was because she was quiet and rarely spoke. Thinking about it, she didn't even speak her native language often, so how could she have the opportunity to practice speaking a foreign language?

  After school started, Ji Xiaowan tried her best to change herself. She made an effort to speak more and interact with people more often, and as a result, she became increasingly outgoing.

  Ji Xiaowan's changes were all seen by Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei.

  Ji Xiaowan grew up day by day, and they all saw it with their own eyes, delighted in their hearts.

  Ji Xiaowan's height has stopped growing, and her chest has also stopped developing. It can be said that she has already taken shape. Ji Xiaowan thinks this is quite good. If her chest were to continue growing, she would really need to change to a larger size of underwear. Originally, her physical strength was not good, if there were two more large papayas in front of her chest, she would be exhausted to death after a whole day.

  These days, Ji Xiaowan has become more talkative, but only in front of her classmates. When it comes to Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei, she always chooses to face them with silence, because she doesn't know what else she can do to keep herself away from them except for resisting them with silence.

  It's just like now, when class is over, Yi Ling hands over his pen and says, "Xiao Wan, your pen is broken, use mine."

  Ji Xiaowan herself had a pen in her hand, and it wasn't broken, she could still write with it. Ji Xiaowan said foolishly, "Mine isn't broken, I can write."

  Yi Ling snatched the pen from her hand, then broke it in front of her and said, "See, it's really broken! You'd better use mine." As he spoke, he handed his own pen over to her.

  Ji Xiaowan took out her spare ballpoint pen and continued writing, too lazy to bother with him.

  Yi Ling snatched the pen away from her again and continued to break it, saying "See, it's broken again! Use mine instead!"

  Ji Xiaowan endured the headache and finally accepted it. She actually had spare pens, but she knew that no matter how many pens she took out, they would eventually be broken by him. Rather than arguing with him like this, she might as well go along with his wishes.

  This pen is new, Ji Xiaoyan can tell, this pen seems quite expensive.

  Ji Xiaowan held the pen and wrote, Yi Ling was excited! He felt that Ji Xiaowan's hand was holding his 'thing'. So every time he saw Ji Xiaowan writing with a pen, he was particularly excited.

  These days, Yi Ling does several hundred push-ups every morning and evening to consume some of his endless energy.

  Before, he always did push-ups with both hands, but now he feels that even doing push-ups with both hands can't help him relieve his inner fire. So now he's switched to doing single-handed push-ups. As a result, the muscles on his arms have become somewhat exaggerated, and even he himself thinks they're over-the-top. But there's nothing he can do about it - these muscles grew in by themselves, and he has no control over them.

  Ye Haiwei has recently been practicing Sanda, and his fists have also hardened a lot. However, he is not very enthusiastic about training himself, thinking that as long as he can cope with that energetic beast, it's enough. Ye Haiwei took advantage of the winter break to force himself to learn a set of Sanda skills, and those two calluses on his tiger mouth are also getting thicker over time.

  Ye Haiyi really wanted to laugh, if someone had told him before that he would be forced onto the path of no return for a woman, he thought that person was telling him an enormous joke. If it were said that he would be forced to treat his own sworn brothers like enemies and cultivate strange abilities all because of a woman, he thought this was an even bigger joke.

  Ye Haiyi knew that Ji Xiaowan had been desperately reading English recently, so to please her, Ye Haiyi carefully selected a few all-English books for her to read.

  Ji Xiaowan also didn't refuse the books he sent over. She read each book very seriously, a very thick English book, at first, she needed to spend a week's time to finish it, but gradually, her speed improved, similarly, a very thick English book, only two or three days' time, she could finish it.

  After finishing, she gave it to Ye Haiyi, and then Ye Haiyi sent her another one. This back-and-forth exchange made Ye Haiyi feel very satisfied. He thought that he had slowly opened the door of Ji Xiaowan's heart, although she was still not very willing to talk to him.

  Yi Ling saw Ye Haiwei sending a book to Ji Xiaowan, and his heart felt a sour taste. He thought it was very annoying, so he also bought an English book. This book was absolutely carefully selected by him, and it was a book that couldn't be found in any bookstore. However, he didn't give it to Ji Xiaowan.

  Yi Ling knew that Ye Haiyu was going to give a book to Ji Xiaowan again, so he found an opportunity and swapped Ye Haiyu's book with his own. The cover of the book Ye Haiyu gave to Ji Xiaowan was still his original cover, but the content inside had completely changed.

  Ye Hai took advantage of the class time to push the book onto Ji Xiaowan's desk. Ji Xiaowan didn't respond, took the book and stuffed it into her desk, planning to read it during lunch break.

  Yi Ling saw Ji Xiao Wan putting the book into her desk, he wanted to smile, he wanted to see how enchanting Xiao Wan would look like when she reads later.

  At noon, as expected, Ji Xiaowen took out that thick English book and prepared to read it.

  When Ji Xiaowan flipped to the first page, Ji Xiaowan was stunned.

  Why is the first sentence of this book "FUCK ME"?

  Ji Xiaowan flipped back the packaging cover of the book and took a look, knowing that it was Hamlet. Ji Xiaowan furrowed her brow in puzzlement.

  Hamlet's Chinese version, Ji Xiaowen had read a little earlier, she knew that Hamlet's opening sentence would never be FUCK ME! In theory, the first sentence of all books should not be that swear word!

  Ji Xiaowan blinked strangely, turned her head to look at Ye Haiyue, and saw that he was intently looking at the documents in his hand. She then opened her book again, thinking she must have seen wrong, or else why would she see those obscene words.

  Ji Xiaowan turned over the book and continued reading.

  As soon as I translated it in my mind, my face turned red instantly.

  This... this is basically a porn book! Not some Hamlet!

  Ji Xiaowen's face turned red as she secretly glanced at Ye Hai, seeing that he was still focused on the documents in his hand. Ji Xiaowen didn't say anything and closed her book before putting it back into her desk.

  Yi Ling naturally saw Ji Xiao Wan's expression and movements, he laughed so hard that he buried his face in his arm, to prevent being exposed, he pretended to sleep for the entire afternoon.

  In the evening after school, Ji Xiaowen returned the book to Ye Haiwei and said, "Don't send me books again in the future. I won't read them anymore."

  At that time, Ye Hai was stunned for a moment, as if he had been struck, "Why?"

  Ye Hai asked strangely, Ji Xiaowan pretended nothing was wrong and said, "No reason. I think it's not necessary to waste time watching these things anymore!"

  Ji Xiaowan's cold tone struck Ye Haoyu again. Ye Haoyu felt a little angry in his heart, but he didn't show it.

  Because Ye Haiyuan was heartbroken, he ignored Yi Ling who was hiding aside and sneering.

  After going home, Yi Ling took advantage of the empty space and changed the books back again. Back and forth, Ye Haiyuan didn't notice the reason at all, but Yi Ling knew that Ji Xiaowen would absolutely not tell Ye Haiyuan the reason!

  Yi Ling is well aware of Ji Xiaowan's temperament. This little girl can endure grievances, and she won't tell you the reason unless someone forces her to. Moreover, Ye Haiyuan usually doesn't force Ji Xiaowan to speak; he prefers to coax her. However, Ji Xiaowan has a stubborn temper that cannot be coaxed into submission.

  Yi Ling had grasped the temperaments of Ji Xiaowan and Ye Haoyu, so he successfully provoked Ye Haoyu away from Ji Xiaowan's side, and he was confident that this matter would never be exposed.

  Indeed, Ye Haiyuan has been quite worried these past few days. Why did Ji Xiaowan suddenly become so resistant to him when everything was fine? He had suspected Yi Ling before, but Yi Ling had been sitting next to Ji Xiaowan and watching her write with a thieving expression on his face for the past few days. Ye Haiyuan was used to this expression of Yi Ling's, so at first, he really couldn't connect the dots to Yi Ling.

  He just let the matter drop.

  But Ji Xiaowan still repels him like this, Ye Haiyuan feels very uncomfortable in his heart!

  It's really uncomfortable!

  Think about it, he's been enduring for so long, and this girl is still on guard against him, not even giving him a chance! If he doesn't come up with some new tricks, the distance between him and Ji Xiaowan will never be bridged!

  Ye Haiyi's usual pampering of her, leaving a perfect impression, what was the purpose? Ye Haiyi sneered in his heart. He indeed didn't like forcing Ji Xiaowan, but once he did something, either he wouldn't do it, or if he did, he would go all out!

  Days passed one by one, and Ji Xiaowan thought her life was as usual, quite comfortable and pleasant. Suddenly, Ji Xiaowan received a call from her mother.

  Ji Xiaowan thought it was strange, her mother rarely called her, as long as she handed over the living expenses on time, Liu Fei would never think that she had a daughter named Ji Xiaowan!

  Ji Xiaowan answered the phone and heard her mother say, "Xiaowan? Are you coming home tonight?"

  "What's wrong, Mom?"

  "Today is your birthday, I want to help you cook a few dishes."

  When Liu Fei said that, Ji Xiaowen was stunned for a long time. Before she could respond, Liu Fei asked again, "What's wrong? Are you busy tonight?"

  Ji Xiaowan had actually forgotten that today was her birthday, and she didn't expect her mother to remember it either. Suddenly, Liu Fei made a call, and Ji Xiaowan didn't know what Liu Fei's intention was, but she felt a warmth in her heart.

  Ji Xiaowan heard Liu Fei calling her and replied, "I'm free, I'll be back home for dinner tonight."

  Liu Fei lightly hummed in response and then hung up the phone.

  When Ji Xiaowan hung up the phone, the corners of her mouth slightly rose, and it could be seen that she was in a very pleasant mood at this time.

  In the evening, Ji Xiaowen and Yi Ling mentioned that they would go home for dinner tonight. Yi Ling knew that today was Ji Xiaowen's birthday, so he had prepared to celebrate with her in advance. They even invited Qian Tonger and Cheng Xiangxiang to join them, booking a luxurious hotel room, planning to have a lively celebration. However, Ji Xiaowen said she wanted to go home for dinner, and Yi Ling was immediately rejected by her, no one could do anything about it.

  After Ji Xiaowan returned home, she saw her mother Liu Fei helping to prepare dinner for her. She also saw a small cake on her desk. Although the cake was small and not expensive, Ji Xiaowan was very satisfied.

  While having dinner, the mother and daughter didn't have much conversation. Liu Fei occasionally chimed in to ask about her recent studies or if she was doing well, but Ji Xiaowen just gave brief responses before ending their dialogue.

  After dinner, Liu Fei didn't hurry to collect the bowls and chopsticks. She brought the cake to the table and was busy cutting it while muttering, "Xiao Wan, I don't know what's wrong with you lately, your mother's luck hasn't been good."

  Ji Xiaowan is not a fool, she naturally understood the meaning of Liu Fei's words. Ji Xiaowan took over the cake handed to her by her mother and asked, "How much is missing?"

  Liu Fei stretched out three fingers and made a difficult expression.

  "Three hundred?" Ji Xiaowan said lightly, "I'll give it to you later."

  "No, not three hundred." Liu Fei suddenly stuttered and said, "It's thirty thousand."

  Ji Xiaowan originally wanted to stuff the cake into her mouth, but suddenly, her hand was stopped by Liu Fei's words.

  Ji Xiaowan put the cake back on the plate, quietly looking at her mother, and after a moment of silence, said, "Your cake is very expensive, it costs 30,000 yuan, it seems I can't afford to eat it." After that, she pushed the cake to the middle of the table.

  Liu Fei sat opposite her, looking embarrassed, and said, "It's all because Mom has been having bad luck with her hands these past few days, losing so much money."

  "Mom, I won't say anything about you playing mahjong, I just think it's a way to fill your life, but why can't you be more low-key? Why do you have to play with them so intensely?"

  "It's what they asked for, how can I have the nerve to refuse?"

  "Then let's change a batch of poker friends."

  Liu Fei fell silent for a moment, looking rather embarrassed. Actually, she had asked to make the stakes bigger herself, and if they were smaller, she thought it wouldn't be exciting. But with bigger stakes, she could only win and couldn't afford to lose.

  Ji Xiaowan looked at her and said with some anger, "If you promise me not to block such a big deal in the future, I'll help you fill this account."

  "Alright! Mom promises you, she absolutely won't argue with them that much again, okay?"

  Ji Xiaowan calmed down and didn't say anything more to her.

  She thought she was really funny, she pushed away Qian Tonger and the others who helped her celebrate her birthday, and insisted on running back home to spend her birthday with her mother, what's wrong?

  This birthday cost 30,000 yuan, and Ji Xiaowan felt it was worth it. At least it let her know that her mother's stubborn temper would not change with time.

  How much time did she have to spend to earn this 30,000 yuan by helping others with their homework? Now her mother's words made her hard-earned money seem like a waste. Thinking about it, how could she not feel angry?

  Ji Xiaowan left, and before she did, she warned her mother that if she dared to block her again, she would no longer give her living expenses, letting her fend for herself.

  Liu Fei nodded vigorously in agreement, seeming quite sincere. But as soon as she turned around, Liu Fei forgot Ji Xiaowan's instructions to her again.

  In just a few days, Ji Xiaowen received another anxious call from her mother.

  At that time, Ji Xiaowan was still in class.

  Ji Xiaowan stepped out of the classroom to answer the phone. On the phone, Liu Fei said anxiously, "Xiaowan! Save your mom!"

  Ji Xiaowan understood as soon as she heard her say that. "Have you borrowed money from someone again?"

  "Mom, I'm sorry, but this time you have to save me, Xiaowen!"

  "Tell me, how much did you owe this time?" Having learned from the previous experience, Ji Xiaowan was already prepared. This time, her mother's debt was definitely not a small amount.

  Liu Fei said with a sob, "Three hundred thousand."

  "Three hundred thousand?" Ji Xiaowan couldn't help but raise her voice and repeat the sentence, "How is that possible? It's only been a few days, why did we suddenly owe so much?"

  "It was all that old Li guy, he took me to an underground casino a few times. The first time we went, your mom even won over a million, but the second time she lost it all again. I thought I'd go back and win it back for her, didn't expect that after just three trips, I'd end up owing so much money."

  Ji Xiaowan had a burning anger in her heart and suppressed her temper to ask, "Who would lend you so much money?"

  "It's... it's the loan sharks." Liu Fei said, getting anxious herself, "Xiao Wan! You have to save your mom, you must save me! You know, those loan sharks are ruthless, if your mom can't pay them back, they'll say they want to take out my kidney as compensation!"

  Ji Xiaowan felt as if her forehead had been slammed hard, and there was a lump in her throat that she couldn't swallow or spit out.

  The first time was 30,000, the second time was 3 million! Her mother really has some skills!

  Let's not talk about whether she has 300,000 yuan in her pocket. Even if she does, after helping her mother pay it out, her mother didn't learn a lesson and will still go gamble next time. So how much will she borrow from others next time? Three million yuan?

  When will this ever end?

  Ji Xiaowan didn't say anything and directly hung up the phone.

  On the other side, Liu Fei was anxious and called Ji Xiaowan's phone again.

  Ji Xiaowan didn't even answer and directly hung up, she was so angry that she took out the battery.

  Ji Xiaowan walked back to the classroom, still expressionless, but her whole body was emitting a strong and intense aura. As soon as she sat back in her seat, she buried her head in her arms and fell onto the desk.

  Yi Ling and Ye Hai Yu furrowed their brows as they looked at her.

  The little girl usually likes attending classes, even if she was bullied by them before and received strange looks from the whole class, it didn't affect her mood for class. But today, this girl surprisingly didn't have the heart to attend class? Whatever the teacher said, she just ignored it.

  It seems like she's really been bothered by something.

  Ji Xiaowan's head is now in a muddle, really don't know what to do!

  Before, when Ji Weiguo was put in prison by Yi Ling and the others, Ji Xiaowan knew but pretended not to know. She didn't feel sad for her father or even sympathize with him. Because she didn't care about her father's life or death, she had long since given up on her dad.

  It's precisely because she doesn't care that she isn't heartbroken, but on the contrary, she is equally indifferent to her mother, yet she still cares about her. It's also because of that little bit of concern that Ji Xiaowan can't let go of that ruthless woman!

  She can't just sit back and watch her being hunted down by loan sharks! But what else can she do now? The money on her is not even enough to fill the hole left by her mother. Even if it could help fill it, what about next time? And the time after that?

  Ji Xiaowan didn't know! This time she really didn't know what to do?

  Unconsciously, Ji Xiaowan's hand was clenched tightly, and Yi Ling saw it, feeling heartache as he pried her fingers open. Ji Xiaowan was still unaware, and Yi Ling had to use some force to flatten her palm. Looking at the center of her palm, there were several crescent-shaped marks, red and purple.

  When school was over, Ji Xiaowan opened her mobile phone and just as she did, she received a call from Liu Fei.

  Ji Xiaowan hid aside and listened, just listening, still not speaking. Her mother cried on the phone to her, crying very miserably.

  "After a long time, Ji Xiaowan said a few words, 'Mom, sell the house.'"

  Liu Fei's crying stopped for a second, and then she cried even more miserably. "We can't sell it! Xiaowan, this is the only legacy left to us by Grandma and Grandpa before they passed away. If we sell the house, won't we be homeless?"

  "Home?" Ji Xiaowan sneered, "You've never given me a complete home! Not in the past, not now, and never will. I long stopped expecting you to give me anything resembling a home. The house we're living in now is just an icy cold residence. You can sell it to make up for your debts, and after that, don't bother me again."

  "Xiao Wan! Please, mom is begging you, okay? Go ask your boyfriend to lend some money. Mom knows he's very rich and he'll agree to it. If you can't bring yourself to ask him, then let me do it."

  "Mom! I don't have a boyfriend! I won't borrow money from anyone! And I don't allow you to go find them!"

  "Don't be like that! Xiaowan, just ask your boyfriend and let him decide whether to lend or not. We're not trying to cheat him, we'll pay him back when we have money in the future."

  Liu Fei's shameless words were like a slap in Ji Xiaowen's face.

  Ji Xiaowan's face turned bright red from her words, she spoke with some weakness and lack of energy, this was a sign of being so angry that she was on the verge of fainting.

  "Mom, don't say anything more." If she continued speaking, she really wanted to run back home and strangle her mother to death.

  This feeling made her feel lost, panicked and helpless. Ji Xiaowan never knew that she would also have a day when she couldn't hold on! It was as if the sky had collapsed.

  In the past, every time the sky fell, Ji Xiaowan single-handedly held it up and told herself fiercely that she could do it! She absolutely could do it! And then, she persevered through it all!

  This time! She can also make it! Can also get through it!

  Ji Xiaowan hinted at herself like this.

  After taking a deep breath, Ji Xiaowen calmed down and said the same thing: "Sell the house, pay off your debt, and don't bother me again. If you do, don't call me anymore. I'm not your daughter!"

  This is the last warning for her.

  Ji Xiaowan's gloominess was palpable to everyone. Previously, Ji Xiaowan had slowly opened up and accepted interactions with her classmates, speaking more and smiling more often. However, in the blink of an eye, she became taciturn again, and even Qian Tong'er found it difficult to get a few words out of Ji Xiaowan's mouth. No matter how many times they tried to make her laugh, they couldn't seem to amuse her.

  They all didn't know what was bothering Ji Xiaowan these past few days.

  Ji Xiaowan returned home and found the property certificate, but her mother had hidden it away and refused to give it back. Ji Xiaowan ignored her for a few days, then the loan sharks came to collect debts. Liu Fei was so scared that she hid at home and wouldn't come out. The loan sharks splashed paint on her door, poured water through the gap, and even calling the police didn't work. They were chased away once, but they continued to harass Liu Fei the next day. Liu Fei was really frightened to death and kept calling her daughter's phone.

  Ji Xiaowan still said the same thing, sell the house to pay off debts.

  Liu Fei still advised her to borrow money with her boyfriend, and Ji Xiaowen hung up the phone as soon as she heard that sentence. Liu Fei finally compromised and was willing to hand over the property certificate.

  These days, Ji Xiaowan has been in contact with intermediaries and plans to sell the house.

  However, the intermediary told her that her house was an old house with a poor environment and location, and it wasn't worth much money, so she could only sell it for 2 million.

  Ji Xiaowan thought that 200,000 should be enough. Adding to what she already had in her hands and after settling this month's tutoring salary, she could scrape together 300,000.

  Ji Xiaowan called Liu Fei and told her that the money had been raised.

  But Liu Fei said with a sob, "Sorry Xiaowan, that usurer told me that if it exceeds ten days, I have to add 500,000. Now it's already 3.5 million."

  "What?" Ji Xiaowan said disbelievingly, "How can it be like this?"

  "Xiao Wan, at this rate, even if we sell the house, we won't be able to pay it off! You should talk to your boyfriend and ask him to lend us some money first. Once we've raised enough funds, we can repay him later. Those ruthless loan sharks said that if we exceed 30 million by 10 days, they'll add another 5 million, and after a few more days, the amount will become 40 million."

  Ji Xiaowan didn't wait for her mother to finish speaking and directly slammed the phone onto the floor. Then she sat quietly on the sofa.

  That day, she didn't go to school and just sat on the sofa in a daze.

  Yi Ling and Ye Haiwei sat beside her, staring blankly.

  How many days has it been? They've been waiting for her to speak to them for several days now.

  This girl just wouldn't mention a word to them, she wanted to handle things by herself.

  They watched her make a phone call to a real estate agent, watched her calculate her salary, and watched her count the money in her pocket.

  She refused to tell them anything about her family.

  Before, she didn't say, they didn't ask.

  But now, it has come to this point, and she still bites her teeth and doesn't say anything?

  This girl's stubborn temper, when will she change it for them?

  Ye Haiwei sat beside Ji Xiaowan and helped her open up her clenched fists, one by one.

  "Xiao Wan, if there's anything on your mind, you can come talk to us about it and we'll help you."

  Ji Xiaowan didn't have the energy to care about him, turned her head away, and didn't even have the strength to give him a glance.

  "Xiao Wan, don't be like this, you know we can help you, just tell us what's going on?"

  Ye Haiwei was still trying to persuade her and coax her, but Ji Xiaowen just wouldn't speak.

  Yi Ling sat on the single sofa beside him, watching Ye Haiyi persuade. Ye Haiyi's heart was also filled with more anger.

  She would never think of the two of them, even if the sky fell down, she wouldn't call them to help her resist, she'd rather be battered and bruised herself than ask for their support, this girl has no idea where her strength lies, she's like a headless fly, crashing around everywhere.

  Ye Haiwei let out a deep sigh, as if trying to relieve the suppressed anger in his heart. "Xiao Wan, just say something. Even if you don't want us to help you with anything, just treat us as your confidants and tell us what's bothering you."

  Ji Xiaowan didn't want to say it, so she kept it in her heart.

  Yi Ling's mouth twitched slightly, and she bit her teeth, continuing to wait for Ye Haiyi to persuade her to speak.

  Ye Hai Wei turned Xiaoxiao Wan's face, forcing her to look at him, and said, "Xiaowei, at least give us a chance to comfort you, can't we?"

  Ji Xiaowan just looked at him coldly and still didn't speak.

  Ye Hai stood up, standing in front of Ji Xiaowan, staring at her fiercely. He really wanted to strangle her to death now, was he really helpless against her? He had coaxed and persuaded her, but it seemed like he had no other choice but to force her again. If he really forced her again, her heart would drift further away from him.

  Yi Ling smiled and stood up, saying "I'll do it."

  Ye Hai turned around and slipped into the sofa beside him, propping his legs up and no longer looking at Ji Xiaowan.

  Yi Ling suddenly moved forward, didn't say a word, and directly carried Qi Xiao Wan up.

  Ji Xiaowan was hanging upside down on Yi Ling's shoulder when she finally came to her senses, "What are you doing?"

  Ji Xiaowan continued to ask foolishly.

  Yi Ling slapped her buttocks heavily and laughed, saying, "This mouth of yours is like a clamshell, it's tightly closed! Without some tricks, it can't be pried open!"

  "What are you doing! Put me down!" Ji Xiaowan's face turned bright red because of the inverted position, her head was congested with blood.

  Yi Ling slapped her butt again, "A girl who needs to be taught a lesson." He said as he carried her into his own room.

  Ji Xiaowan suddenly realized something, she screamed in terror, "Let me go, let me go!" Ji Xiaowan looked up and saw Ye Haiwei sitting over there, she quickly shouted, "Ye Haiwei, you hurry and tell him to stop!"

  Ye Haiyu ignored her and didn't even want to look at her. Ji Xiaowan knew that Ye Haiyu was angry, and it was a fierce anger.

  Ji Xiaowan watched with wide eyes as Yi Ling led her into the bedroom, and when the door closed behind them, her face turned white with fear.

  "Let me go! Bastard, damn it! Scoundrel!" Ji Xiaowan scolded and beat him.

  Yi Ling slammed her heavily onto his large bed, quickly pinning her down with his body. Looking at her furious expression, he felt delighted. "Little girl! Your mouth above is so tight, I'd like to see if the one below is just as tight!"

  Ji Xiaowan's face turned even paler as she listened, "Y...you want to do what?"

  "You'll know what I want," he said, and then directly took action to take off her pants and underwear.

  Ji Xiaowan cried out in a terrible voice, still scolding him nonstop. In less than a minute, she immediately begged for mercy, "I said! You ask what, I'll say what! I'll say everything."

  Yi Ling lifted his head, licked the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Too late. Now I just want to teach you a lesson! Don't worry, I promised you, I won't kill you." After that, he buried his head between her legs again.

  Ten minutes later, Ji Xiaowan was led out of the bedroom by Yi Ling with his arm around her shoulders.

  Ji Xiaowan stiffened her body, and as he led her out, her face turned pale and white, and it was clear that her body was trembling.

  Behind him, Yi Ling was still licking his mouth corner with an unfulfilled expression, as if he had never seen such a satisfied look on him.

  After being pushed out of the bedroom by him, she quickly ran to Ye Hai's side and squeezed past him, sitting down beside him, trying to get as far away from Yi Ling as possible.

  Ye Haiyi's originally angry expression softened a lot because of her approach.

  He knew that the more outrageous Yiling was, the more she would rely on herself. Looking at her now so well-behaved appearance, his mood had eased a lot. However, when he saw Yiling's smug face, he couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy again.

  Although he knew Yi Ling wouldn't be able to finish that matter, this kid would definitely find ways to take advantage of the situation.

  Ye Haiyi chose to ignore Yi Ling's presence, turned his head to look at Ji Xiaowan, took a deep breath and asked, "Speak up, what is it that's bothering you so much?"

  Ji Xiaowan was still in a state of terror and couldn't come back to herself for a long time. When she heard Ye Haiyi ask her a question, she remained silent for five or six seconds. These five or six seconds allowed her brain to return to its normal thinking state.

  Yi Ling sat on the edge, rubbing her lips with her hand, her eyes fixed on Ji Xiaowan.

  Ji Xiaowan inadvertently caught his gaze, and subconsciously, she shivered all over, then leaned her body closer to Ye Haiyi's side, and said, "My mom owes someone a high-interest loan. Originally it was 300,000 yuan, but those who lend at high interest rates say that if we don't repay within ten days, they will add 50,000 yuan. Now it has become 350,000 yuan. I originally planned to sell the house and add my tutoring salary to make up for it, but now suddenly there is an additional 50,000 yuan..."

  "Xiao Wan, you've been dragging this on for so long by yourself and didn't even want to come find us to discuss it. Have you ever thought that if you had told us from the start, maybe we wouldn't have lost those 50,000 yuan?"

  "I don't think it's necessary for me to tell you guys, this is my business."
