didn't want to compete with my siblings for property, I deliberately kept away from my grandfather. During the years when he needed me most, I wasn't by his side. I really regret it..." Tears welled u...Chapter 819: Forcing Good People to Be Third Wheel

When Xia Tian left, Chu Yao was diligently practicing throwing knives, so he didn't disturb her.

After leaving the main gate of the Chu family compound, Xia Tian took out his phone, intending to call Wang Xaya first.

However, before he could dial the number, a call came in.

"Wife Jingjing, have you missed me" Xia Tian immediately answered the call as it was from Shu Jing.

"Uh... Is this Xia Tian I'm not Shujing; I'm Mo Wenjing!" The voice on the other end sounded slightly awkward because her name also contained the character 'jing.'

"Why is it you" Xia Tian was a bit puzzled. "This number belongs to Jingjing wife."

"Uh, this is Shu Jing's phone. I didn't know your number, so I secretly took her phone to call you!" Mo Wenjing hurriedly explained, "It's like this, something happened to Shu Jing, and you might not be aware of it"

Summer suddenly got anxious: "Something happened to Jing wife Where is she I'll go right away!"

"Uh, well, Summer, there's no need for you to rush. She’s currently quite safe," Mo Wenjing quickly said, "A few weeks ago, a male student at their school committed suicide. Shu Jing mentioned that you knew about this incident."

"Oh, I know about it. That guy seemed to be named Chen Jian. But he's dead now; it has nothing to do with Jing wife," Summer thought to herself, puzzled. Could there still be unresolved issues

Mo Wenjing continued, clearly upset: "Logically speaking, this incident shouldn't have anything to do with Shu Jing. The police are convinced of that. But unfortunately, Chen Jian's family is causing trouble. They first demanded compensation from the school and now they're demanding it from Shu Jing. Every day, they harass her, even at her home. Initially, Shu Jing was willing to pay some money, but when she agreed to compensate, they became more brazen and are now asking for a million dollars!" Mo Wenjing sounded exasperated, "Shu Jing's parents are just ordinary teachers; how can they come up with such an amount She had around several hundred thousand yuan, but the other side deemed it insufficient. I asked Shu Jing to ask you for help, but she refused. Seeing that she has no way out, I secretly called you to see if you could assist her."

"Then where is Jing wife now I'll head over right away," Summer inquired.

Mo Wenjing replied quickly: "She's hiding at my school!" Mo Wenjing added hastily, "I'm currently at Jianghai Normal University. We are having lunch opposite the school right now. Shu Jing just went to the restroom. Oh no! She’s back; I have to go now. Please hurry over!"

Mou Wenjing immediately hung up the phone, while Xia Tian casually hailed a taxi. He had heard of Jianghai Normal University several times before; he remembered that Liu Yuncheng, the skinny girl, studied there. However, he had never been there himself and thus didn't know how to get around.

Jianghai Normal University.

Shu Jing walked toward the school gate with little energy. She had just finished lunch opposite Mou Wenjing, but she wasn’t really in the mood for food now.

A few meters behind Shu Jing were two bodyguards who followed her at a steady pace.

"Shu Jing, wait a moment," Mou Wenjing looked around and then pulled on Shu Jing's sleeve.

"What is it" Shu Jing was somewhat puzzled. "Wenjing, I'm so sleepy right now. Can I go to your dormitory for a nap It’s been days since I've had a good sleep."

Thinking about sleeping made her think of Xia Tian. Since that night when she had slept in his arms on the stands at the school sports field, she hadn’t had a proper sleep again. This made her feel nostalgic for that peaceful slumber.

"A friend is coming over, just wait a moment, he should be here soon." Mo Wenjing hurriedly said.

"What kind of friend" Shu Jing yawned. "Is it a guy or a girl If it's a guy, I have to tell Jiang Feng."

"It’s a guy, you can tell Jiang Feng if you want, I'm not afraid." Mo Wenjing appeared indifferent.

"No way" Shu Jing was taken aback. "Hey Wenjing, are you cheating on someone"

"What nonsense are you talking As if I would be the one doing that," Mo Wenjing rolled her eyes at Shu Jing.

"How could I cheat I don't even have a boyfriend to begin with." Shu Jing said weakly.

"You can tell this to Xia Tian later then," Mo Wenjing said with a smile.

"Uh" Shu Jing was momentarily stunned, "Don't tell me, Xia Tian is coming"

"Look, he's already here." Mo Wenjing pointed to the side of the road; indeed, Xia Tian was just getting out of a taxi. For fear that Xia Tian wouldn’t notice her, Mo Wenjing waved her hand and called out, "Hey, Xia Tian, over here!"

Shu Jing immediately felt like crying: "How did you manage to call him over"

"I'm doing this for your own good." Mo Wenjing didn’t think there was anything wrong with what she had done. Shu Jing was practically at her wit's end, yet she wouldn't ask others for help when clearly someone could assist her; wasn’t that just being stubborn

“You’re forcing me to be a mistress!” Shu Jing muttered under her breath. Of course, she knew Xia Tian could help her, but the more she dealt with him, the harder it would be for her to escape his grasp. That was why she had preferred to come out here to avoid trouble rather than tell Xia Tian about this.

"Jing Jing, where are those fools who bullied you Let's go get them now!" Xia Tian quickly ran up to Shu Jing and stared at her for a moment before starting to complain, "Those idiots really deserve a beating! They've made you lose weight. I’m definitely going to beat them up!"

"And the two of you," he glared disapprovingly at the bodyguards, “why didn’t you stop anyone from bullying my wife”

Su Jing had indeed lost some weight and looked a bit haggard. As the saying goes, insomnia is the enemy of beauties; Su Jing hadn't been able to sleep well for several days, so it was natural that she appeared tired.

"Sorry, Mr. Xia, we..." A bodyguard wanted to explain.

"Hey, it's not their fault. I told them to stay out of it. They've done a great job already. If it weren't for them, I would have been driven mad by now," Su Jing couldn't help but speak up for the two bodyguards.

"Alright then, I won't hold this against you guys for now." Upon hearing Su Jing's words, Xia Tian didn't scold the two bodyguards anymore. Instead, he turned to look at her and said, "Darling Jingjing, are those idiots causing trouble at your place Let's go there!"

"No need, they'll leave after a few more days of causing trouble." Su Jing was quite helpless. She was actually very angry too, but what could she do After all, someone had died. She didn't dare speak up now; otherwise, people might think she was cold-hearted and inhumane, leading to another round of online harassment.

"How can that be okay" Xia Tian was clearly displeased. "If these idiots dare bully my wife like this, I have to teach them a lesson or they'll think I'm an easy target!"
