Chapter 183: Show Her Some Color
The driver drove the car into the underground parking lot. Ji Xiangyu was the first to get out, walked around the car to the other side, and gentlemanly opened the car door for Athena, escorting her out.
Athena felt a little unaccustomed. Ji Xiangyu’s gentleness and thoughtfulness made her blush and her heart race. Her cheeks instantly burned.
They had only taken a few steps when a piercing sound of tires screeching in an emergency brake was heard.
They stopped and looked over, only to see Situ Jingyi getting out of the bright red sports car. She walked out in a hurry, her face full of anger as she approached Ji Xiangyu and Athena, a dismissive smirk on her lips.
“Not bad, you’ve even brought her to a private apartment!”
The arrogant voice echoed in the vast parking lot. The apartment elevator here required a card to go up, and Situ Jingyi had never been up before. Hearing that Ji Xiangyu had brought this woman to the apartment today, she was almost driven mad with anger.
Ji Xiangyu shielded Athena in his arms and looked at Situ Jingyi coldly, saying, “Why are you here if you have nothing to do?”
Ji Xiangyu’s indifference only fanned the flames in Situ Jingyi’s heart, making it seem like she could erupt at any moment.
“Yu, stop being foolish. She’s not Qing Tian at all, just a substitute who looks like her!”
Situ Jingyi provocatively looked at Athena and continued, “Don’t think you’re so capable just because you’ve gained Yu’s love and favor. Let me tell you the truth: you’re just a shadow in his heart, a substitute for the woman he loves. He doesn’t love you at all, but the woman who betrayed him five years ago and eloped with another man~~~”
Ji Xiangyu wanted to remain calm, calm in front of Athena. He suppressed his voice and growled, “Have you said enough?”
How could Situ Jingyi, filled with rage, possibly say enough? “I haven’t said enough. Yu, have you gone mad? This woman is not Qing Tian at all. Why are you so deluded!”
Ji Xiangyu said coldly, “Driver Qian, escort Chief Assistant upstairs. I have something to say to Miss Situ!”
Upon hearing this, Situ Jingyi immediately grabbed Athena, who was about to leave, and with a forceful tug, shoved Athena to the ground. Athena had only stumbled because she hadn’t regained her footing.
But this incident completely ignited Ji Xiangyu’s anger. He would no longer allow Qing Tian to suffer any grievance, never again.
Situ Jingyi, don’t blame me for being impolite. Ji Xiangyu looked at Situ Jingyi with red eyes, waved his large hand, and fiercely slapped Situ Jingyi’s fair and tender face.
The moment she was slapped, Situ Jingyi froze, looking at Ji Xiangyu in disbelief. She never imagined in her life that she would be slapped by the man she loved, and for a bitch woman at that. She stood there stunned, unable to process this shocking news for a moment.
Ji Xiangyu helped Athena up and asked gently, “Are you hurt anywhere?!”
Athena’s emotions were unstable. Today, Ji Xiangyu had hit two people for her. They were people with close relationships, and this would surely make it difficult for him to be in the middle.
Looking at the stunned Situ Jingyi, Ji Xiangyu handed Athena over to Driver Qian. “Take Athena upstairs to rest well!”
After speaking, he turned to Athena. “Go up first, I’ll be back later!”
“I’ll be back later.” This sentence warmed Athena’s heart, like a conversation between a married couple.
However, Athena still looked at the dazed Situ Jingyi with worry. Why had she suddenly stopped talking?
After Athena was escorted away, Ji Xiangyu grabbed Situ Jingyi and pulled her to her car. At this moment, Situ Jingyi’s face was filled with sadness, devoid of her previous arrogance and domineering demeanor.
Ji Xiangyu’s tone softened considerably. “Jingyi, go back. I don’t want to see you right now!”
Situ Jingyi asked sadly, “Why? Just for a substitute?”
Ji Xiangyu wanted to blurt out that Athena was not a substitute, but to protect Athena, he couldn’t say anything!
Ji Xiangyu persuaded her again, “Go back. Seeing you makes me want to slap you hard, but a few slaps can’t quell the hatred in my heart! So, please, get out of my sight now!”
Situ Jingyi shook her head in disbelief. “Yu, how could you do this to me?! Have you really been bewitched by that woman? I’m the Jingyi you’ve always doted on! I’m Jingyi!” She cried while shaking Ji Xiangyu’s hand.
Ji Xiangyu’s heart had long gone cold. He fiercely shook off Situ Jingyi’s hand and said, “Get lost immediately!”
