The landlady then shut the door. “I have never seen such an unreasonable person. There are really all kinds of fish in the sea!”

Ding Jiayi was splashed with dirty water. She was soaked to the bones and she felt sorry for herself. She sobbed her guts out and seemed more aggrieved than Xiang Lin Sao, the typical tragic character in Chinese fiction.

Ding Jiayi sniffed and wiped the water off her face with her sleeves.

Old Qiao was really ruthless. Recently, she had been minding her own business. No matter how much she disliked that wretched girl, she still prepared her meals for her. She did not even raise her voice at her.

She had changed for the better, yet Old Qiao never changed his att.i.tude toward her. Now that Old Qiao had moved, he did not even bother to tell her. Was his heart made of stone?

Could he not see the efforts she had put in the past few months?

Even if his heart was made of stone, he should have been moved by her actions.

Ding Jiayi did not understand why Qiao Dongliang moved again without any apparent reason. Unlike last time, he did not tell her where they moved to.

Would she lose her husband forever because of this incident?

Unknowingly, Ding Jiayi ended up at the house that Qiao Dongliang rented previously. Looking at the familiar but distant door, Ding Jiayi burst into tears again. She slumped against the door and sat on the ground crying. “Old Qiao, you are so ruthless. Haven’t I done well enough?”

Did Old Qiao want her to be the servant of that wretched girl?

In the past few months, she treated that wretched girl with respect as if she were her elders. Both the father and daughter were heartless and ruthless!

It was autumn now. The weather was dry during the day but windy and unbearably cold at night. Ding Jiayi was wet to the bones. She felt chilly in the windy autumn night.

Ding Jiayi s.h.i.+vered from the cold. She wrapped her arms around herself and curled up like a shrimp. She leaned against the door, refusing to leave.

She was worried that if she left, she would never find Qiao Dongliang again and she would lose her husband forever. It seemed to her that as long as she stayed there, Qiao Dongliang would return to her.

A gust of wind blew over her and she s.h.i.+vered in the cold. Ding Jiayi leaned against the door and fell asleep shortly.

Ding Jiayi slept through the night. When she woke up the next day, dawn was just breaking.

Ding Jiayi felt dizzy. She held onto the door and stood up. She smiled bitterly to herself. “I should have known that Old Qiao turned heartless all because of that wretched girl. I am too foolish to camp here over the night.”

Ding Jiayi put her hand to her burning forehead. Ding Jiayi knew that she had a cold and fever from sleeping in the open on a windy night. Moreover, she was wet to the bones from the basin of cold water that was splashed on her.

She was saddened that n.o.body noticed that she slept out in the open and sent her to the hospital. Her family was ruthless to her, and the people in this world were no different either.

Ding Jiayi leaned against the wall, feeling dizzy. She finally made her way back to the Qiao’s house.
