She was stubbornly convinced of this.
Fang Jiangyi frowned. He had no idea that Peng Zixu had already started to take action behind his back.
There was no response for a long time. Peng Shiyi knew Fang Jiangyi's attitude. She laughed and cried at the same time. Her hand holding the window frame gradually loosened, and a sad expression appeared on her face.
"Brother Jiangyi, I'm sorry. I don't want to pester you either. So from now on, please let me go. Goodbye, Brother Jiangyi." She would rather die. If she died, she wouldn't have to worry about Fang Jiangyi not wanting her anymore.
She jumped out of the window.
"Don't!"
The nurse rushed forward and tried to grab her, but didn't even touch the corner of her clothes. She had already fallen downstairs.
Screams echoed inside and outside the building. There was chaos everywhere.
Fang Jiangyi's mind was in a complete mess. This scene seemed familiar. Once upon a time, Yan Xi also jumped off a building because of him. Now it seemed like that scene was replaying.
Peng Shiyi's mother, who had rushed over in a hurry, happened to see this scene. After recognizing that the person who had jumped was her daughter downstairs, she immediately felt dizzy, rolled her eyes and fainted.
Fortunately, the place where she jumped was right in the hospital. Peng Shiyi was quickly rescued and sent to the emergency room. She already had some injuries that hadn't healed. This time, she even broke her arm, and her neck had to be supported by a brace.
When Peng Shiyi woke up and found that she was almost disabled, she neither cried nor made a fuss. She just stared longingly in the direction of the door. Finally, when her mother, who had gone to pay the fees, came back, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Mom, did Brother Jiangyi call? Has he come to see me?" Her neck was fixed and couldn't move, so she could only try to turn her eyes to look at her mother who came in through the door.
"Shiyi, why are you so stupid? Have you forgotten what Mom told you? Mom can find someone for you who is a thousand or ten thousand times better than him, as long as you're willing. Why did you do something to hurt yourself like this? I've been smart all my life. How could I have such a stupid daughter like you!" Peng's mother was frustrated with her daughter. She had several fires pent up in her heart with nowhere to vent.
She had already been choosing a better future for Peng Shiyi. She hadn't stepped into the circle of rich ladies for a long time.
Now, for the sake of her daughter, she had to humble herself and ask for help. Someone had finally introduced a person with a good family background. As long as Peng Shiyi got better, they could meet at any time. But then she pulled off such a stunt!
The more Peng's mother thought about it, the angrier she got. She wondered if Fang Jiangyi had said something to stimulate Peng Shiyi again, which was why she tried to kill herself.
Peng Shiyi was like a broken record. She only asked one question: "Mom, hasn't Brother Jiangyi come to see me?"
Peng's mother gave her a sideways look and sneered. "He did call. He was just afraid that your matter would involve him. He was eager to distance himself and said that we should watch you well and not let you make a fuss anymore. He even said some threatening words to us. Shiyi, you should have seen clearly what a heartless man he is a long time ago. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made Cheng Yanxi jump off a building back then. I think anyone who gets involved with him won't end up well."
Peng Shiyi always knew Fang Jiangyi's cruelty. He never showed mercy when he hurt and abandoned her. He never cared about their past feelings.
Thinking of these things, she seemed ready to make another scene. The nurse was really scared. Before she could make a fuss, the nurse quickly gave her a sedative. Peng Shiyi fell into a drowsy sleep, and things finally calmed down for a while.
The news that Peng Shiyi had jumped off a building quickly spread throughout the circle. Yan Xia was still at work when she heard this news, but she wasn't surprised.
Peng Shiyi had lost the last thing that could hold Jiangyi back. She was afraid that she would lose him. The routine of crying, making a scene and threatening to kill herself was inevitable. It was just that her extreme act of jumping off a building and almost becoming paralyzed really exceeded Yan Xia's expectations. She didn't expect that she could go to such an extent.
But she felt a vague uneasiness. She was afraid that Peng Shiyi would want to fight her to the bitter end and do something that she couldn't anticipate.
So she immediately asked someone to strengthen the security protection. She also told someone to keep a close eye on Lan Mengfan and protect her safety.
However, when Yan Xia went to pick up Lan Mengfan that afternoon, she was informed that the child had already been picked up by someone. The person who picked up the child claimed to be her father. Lan Mengfan also knew him, so she went with him.
Yan Xia was immediately panicked. She even made a phone call to confirm that Lan Yuzhou hadn't come to pick up the child.
Just as she was in a state of panic and her mind was racing, Lu Qianzhou sent her a message, a photo of him sitting across from Lan Mengfan and eating a hamburger with her, with a location attached below.
Yan Xia was extremely angry. Who did this person think he was to take away her child without permission! And it was without her knowledge!
She rushed over angrily according to the address he gave. Lan Mengfan and Lu Qianzhou had already finished eating and were still waiting for her in the store.
When they saw her push the door open and come in, Lan Mengfan immediately jumped up from her chair, ran over and threw herself into Yan Xia's arms, happily calling her mom.
Yan Xia looked Lan Mengfan up and down to confirm her safety.
Lu Qianzhou was extremely dissatisfied because of Yan Xia's look. "What kind of look is that? I'm not going to eat the child."
Yan Xia stood up, led Lan Mengfan in front of him and glared at him.
"Lu Qianzhou, do you know how worried I was when you took her away without permission? I thought the child had been taken away by someone with ulterior motives. I've told you, don't bother us anymore. Can you please just leave us alone?"
She said this completely from the perspective of a mother.
"So in your eyes, I'm not one of those people with ulterior motives. I'm going to be her future father. What's wrong with getting along with the child in advance and taking her out to eat something?" He smiled brightly, showing no sign of remorse at all. He didn't even realize the seriousness of the problem.
"She has her own father. She doesn't need you to play the good guy here."
Yan Xia frowned. She seemed to think that he was too annoying. If she didn't teach him a lesson, Lu Qianzhou wouldn't give up.
So she said, "If there's a next time, I'll quickly fall in love and get married. Anyway, no matter who I marry in the future, it won't be you."
After saying this, she led the child and turned to walk out.
Lan Mengfan didn't expect Yan Xia to get so angry either. She thought it was because she had said she wanted to eat a hamburger. She thought that if Lu Qianzhou took her to indulge once and Mom caught them, Mom wouldn't blame her, so she let him take her there.
She grabbed the corner of Yan Xia's clothes, looking full of guilt. "Mom, don't be angry with Dad Lu. It was me who asked him to take me to eat a hamburger... I'm sorry, Mom. Don't be angry."
The little girl looked up with a scared look in her bright grape-like eyes.
Yan Xia couldn't get angry with the child at all. She could only say, "Don't call him Dad anymore in the future. And don't go with him either. He's not a good person. Remember that?"
Lan Mengfan nodded timidly. Out of the corner of her eye, she was still stealing glances at Lu Qianzhou. This wasn't what she really wanted in her heart. Uncle should understand her, right?
"Cheng Yanxia, is this how you educate your child!" Lu Qianzhou chased after her.
