My Ares Son-in-Law

The table is already filled with delicious dishes, steaming hot and fragrant.

"We are inviting Mr. Xiao to dinner today, so don't just talk." Fang Qingxue reminded again, her gaze turning to Xiao Chen, her face filled with gratitude and enthusiasm.

She knew that if Xiao Chen hadn't helped, she and Fang Li might still be trapped in the shadow of Ying Qi. Therefore, she wanted to use this meal to express her gratitude to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen smiled and nodded, feeling the sincerity and enthusiasm of Fang Qingxue and her sister. He picked up the chopsticks, gently picked up a dish, and tasted it carefully.

The deliciousness of the dishes made him nod slightly, and he praised the cooking skills of this restaurant in his heart.

At the dining table, the three of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Fang Li occasionally cast a grateful look at Xiao Chen, as if silently expressing her gratitude to him. And Xiao Chen always maintained a gentle smile, patiently listening to their words, enjoying this rare tranquility and beauty.

……

After the meal, Xiao Chen and Fang Qingxue accompanied Fang Li on their way home. It was still early, and the warm sunshine sprinkled on the three of them, which was quite warm.

Fang Li still had some fear and anxiety in her heart. Although Ying Qi had been brought to justice, the nightmare-like experience she had gone through was deeply engraved in her heart like a brand.

The fear of being violated could not be dissipated in a short time. Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she would always involuntarily recall those horrifying scenes, and an indescribable fear and helplessness would surge in her heart.

In this era, although people's attitudes towards sexual assault have become relatively open and tolerant, for a girl, it is still a great insult and harm.

Fang Li's fear and terror are completely understandable. She needs time to slowly heal the trauma in her heart and regain her own strength and confidence.

Xiao Chen looked at Fang Li's slightly pale face, and an inexplicable pity and sympathy surged in his heart.

He knew that although he could not completely eliminate Fang Li's fear, he could at least stay by her side and give her some comfort and encouragement. So he smiled and said to Fang Li, "Don't worry, we are here, everything will be fine."

Fang Li looked at Xiao Chen gratefully, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the high-rise residential area where Fang Li lived. This was an ordinary residential building, although not high, but the facilities were quite complete. Fang Li rented a small single room, although the place was compact, it was well arranged and full of the breath of life.

As soon as they stepped over the threshold, the three of them were stunned at the same time, as if they were fixed in place by an invisible force.

Inside the room, a familiar figure suddenly came into view. Lin Jiang, the man who once broke Fang Li's heart, was now sitting on the sofa in the living room, staring intently at the news broadcast on the TV screen.

His face was pale and his eyes revealed panic and anxiety that were difficult to conceal.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head suddenly, his eyes seemed to be lit up instantly, and when his eyes fell on Xiao Chen, Fang Qingxue and Fang Li at the door, a look of fear flashed across his eyes. After a brief shock, Lin Jiang's face miraculously showed a surprised smile, which was a bit awkward and reluctant, as if he was trying his best to hide his inner panic.

"Baby, are you discharged from the hospital? Are you okay? I was just saying I was going to the hospital to see you, but you scared me to death." His voice trembled, and he tried to cover up his guilt with caring words.

Xiao Chen sneered secretly. He glanced at the news on the TV screen and suddenly realized it. It turned out that Lin Jiang already knew about Ying Qi's fate. No wonder he was so panicked.

A trace of disdain flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. He was angry about Fang Li's experience and disgusted by Lin Jiang's hypocrisy.

Fang Li stood quietly at the door, her eyes fell on Lin Jiang's familiar yet unfamiliar face, and an indescribable disgust and anger surged in her heart.

She once loved this man deeply, but at this moment, she only felt that she was deeply deceived and betrayed. Lin Jiang's smile became so ugly in her eyes, as if it was a huge irony, mocking her former stupidity and naivety.

I am really blind, Fang Li cursed countless times in her heart, each word was like a sharp blade, cutting off her last bit of love for Lin Jiang. She recalled the past that she couldn't bear to look back on, and her heart was torn.

That man, who she once thought she could rely on for her whole life, actually pushed her into the abyss with his own hands.

He sent himself to another man's bed, like discarding a useless object, and watched coldly as he was bullied, without a trace of sympathy or compassion.

At that moment, her heart was completely broken. Anger and despair intertwined together, making her choose to commit suicide by taking poison, trying to end the endless pain in this way.

However, when she was lying on the hospital bed, dying, the man who once said he loved her and would protect her did not even visit her once. His indifference and ruthlessness were more deadly than any poison.

Now, he could still appear in front of him so shamelessly, saying those hypocritical words, as if nothing had happened, as if it was all nonchalant and light-hearted.

Fang Li's eyes flashed with anger and disgust. She stared at Lin Jiang closely, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth:
"Scumbag, stop saying those hypocritical words. Even if you don't feel disgusted, I do. Leave my house immediately. This is the house I rented. You didn't spend a penny on it. From now on, we are done with each other!"

Her voice was trembling, but her tone was extremely firm. Every word she said was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lin Jiang's heart hard.

Lin Jiang came closer step by step with a shy face and a flattering smile on his face, as if he was completely unaware of the tension and anger in the air.

"Baby, I really drank too much yesterday, and my mind was blank, so I did that stupid thing. We have been dating since college, and we have been together for eight years. I really love you, can't you give me another chance to correct my mistakes?"

There was a hint of pleading in his voice, and there seemed to be a gleam of sincerity in his eyes.

"I promise, from now on, I will be twice as good to you and make up for the mistakes I made. Didn't you say before that you wanted to get married? We will get married soon. I will go buy a diamond ring right now, pick the biggest and shiniest one, and give you a big surprise..."

Lin Jiang's words came out like a string of cannonballs, trying to win back Fang Li's heart with promises and sweet words. (End of this chapter)
