Gong Xiaoyu felt it was not worth it for her brother. She glared at this crazy woman and angrily retorted, "Yes! I can't stand you! It's our family's misfortune that you married into the Gong Family! If you continue acting like this, I'll have my brother file for divorce! Just because you refuse to sign the papers doesn't mean anything, once we've been separated long enough, we'll naturally be strangers! I'm warning you, stop throwing mud at Jun Xi, you're the real vixen! If it weren't for you shamelessly seducing my brother, he would never have married you! If my sister-in-law was Jun Xi, my brother would be living a much happier life now!"
Everyone knew about these disgraceful matters, but previously everyone had been holding back and not making things difficult for He Mengya face-to-face. Since they got married, everyone hoped they could live well together. Who knew this He Mengya could never be at peace for one day, always being suspicious and causing unrest at home.
The Gong Family was intellectual and cultured, with their parents and grandparents all university professors. Father Gong and Mrs. Gong really couldn't tolerate He Mengya's shrewish behavior any longer. Not wanting to tear their family apart, they had them move out to live independently, out of sight out of mind.
Gong Tianfan couldn't bear to see his parents suffer because of him, so he had also moved out for a while. Now that his parents were away on a lecture trip, he moved back for a few days of peace. But who knew He Mengya followed him back, and constantly nagged at his ear, making it inescapable!
Gong Xiaoyu couldn't stand it anymore. She laid all the disgraceful things out in the open and said very harshly to He Mengya, "You eat from our family, use our family's resources, and still cause trouble every day. Even if we kept a dog, it would be more useful than you!"
He Mengya screamed madly, "Your whole family bullies me! I'll fight to the death with you!"
She pushed Gong Xiaoyu down and went to grab her hair. Gong Xiaoyu wasn't expecting it and was in pain from the pulling.
Gong Tianfan stepped forward and pushed He Mengya away. He pulled his sister up and calmly said to He Mengya, "If you continue, we'll divorce. It's best for everyone."
He Mengya was stunned for a moment. Calling out loudly, she rushed into the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, "Fine! I'll just die! I married into the Gong Family, and all of you treat me like an outsider and keep thinking of that vixen. I might as well end it!"
Gong Xiaoyu was scared and held onto the wall, "You crazy woman, you've really lost it!" If their parents were at home, they'd likely be scared into a heart attack!
Gong Tianfan watched the crazed He Mengya, his eyes bloodshot. Suddenly, he rushed to grab the knife and slashed it across his own neck, "Fine! Let's die right now. I'll go first; then you don't have to make any more trouble!"
Gong Xiaoyu was shocked. She rushed to stop him, "Brother, don't do something stupid!"
The kitchen knife, pushed aside by Gong Xiaoyu, directly cut into Gong Tianfan's shoulder. His white clothes were instantly stained red. Gong Tianfan's face twisted in pain, turning pale as paper.
He Mengya stood there, terrified and dumbfounded.
Gong Xiaoyu screamed, "Brother!" She yelled at the frozen He Mengya, "What are you standing there for, call an ambulance!"
He Mengya finally came to her senses. She crawled shakily to the phone and pressed the three numbers, fumbling several times before getting it right.
The night finally quieted down.
The next morning, An Junxi arrived at the company and noticed Gong Xiaoyu hadn't come yet. She asked her assistant, He Tian, "Where's Sister Xiao Yu?"
He Tian shook her head, "I've called Sister Xiao Yu several times, but she hasn't answered."
On hearing this, An Junxi immediately dialed Gong Xiaoyu's phone. It kept showing a busy signal and finally got automatically cut off.
She shook her head at He Tian, "Still no answer."
Remembering the phone call from her senior last night, An Junxi wondered if there was a family feud again, causing trouble?
Filled with anxiety, An Junxi didn't dare to go to their home directly. If He Mengya saw her, it would never end.
Back when she first graduated, An Junxi's first job wasn't at Si Yuan. She worked in the marketing department of Senye Group, responsible for market promotion. Her work was outstanding, and she was on track to be promoted early. Unfortunately, as her probation period was about to end, He Mengya suddenly stormed into the company, making a huge scene, accusing her of being a mistress and a seductress in front of everyone. To calm things down and "cleanse the work environment," the company leadership asked An Junxi to resign voluntarily.
With no other option, and not wanting to endure the scornful looks, An Junxi resigned straightforwardly.
Gong Xiaoyu then reached out to her, inviting her to join Si Yuan. Gong Xiaoyu told her, "Jun Xi, even without the issue with He Mengya, I still want you to come to the company. I know your abilities."
Gratefully, An Junxi accepted.
She appreciated the care her senior had shown her. During school, her senior had always taken care of her like a little sister and continued to do so after graduation.
Gong Xiaoyu once said to her, "You don't have to call me senior, just use my name, it's more casual."
But An Junxi insisted on calling her senior, for reasons she kept to herself.
To her, calling her senior was a sign of deep respect akin to having a sister.
Being an only child, she had always wished for a sister or brother. Meeting her senior made her feel her life could be so complete.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and she and her senior didn't end up together.
Later, when He Mengya caused trouble at Si Yuan, Gong Xiaoyu called the police to have her taken away, saying, "You can't tolerate such shrews, not even a bit."
Gong Xiaoyu even specially explained to their colleagues to protect An Junxi from malicious gossip.
Remembering these things, An Junxi felt powerless. She never wanted to go through anything like that again.
Seeing Gong Xiaoyu's empty office, she thought of the call from last night and told He Tian, "Go check on Sister Xiao Yu at her place. If you see her, call me." She remembered her senior mentioning that He Mengya could do anything in a fit, and she hoped nothing serious had happened.
He Tian, a bit worried about her boss as well, quickly packed her bag and left, "I'll go. Wait for my news."
Back at the company, An Junxi couldn't focus on work. Half an hour later, she received a call from He Tian. Frantically, she said, "Jun Xi, I couldn't get into the residential area. The security guard told me an ambulance was called to Building B, Apartment 601 last night. No one has returned yet!"
Scared, An Junxi couldn't sit still, "Did they mention what happened? Which hospital they went to?"
Equally frightened, He Tian hadn't thought to ask those details. After An Junxi's question, she inquired further and said, "They're at the First City Hospital. Apparently, Sister Xiao Yu's sister-in-law injured her brother. The whole building heard their argument last night!"
Panicked, An Junxi paced around, but there was nothing she could do. She knew she couldn't go to the hospital. If He Mengya saw her, even with her senior lying in the hospital bed, she wouldn't stop. Things would only get worse.
"Sister Xiao Yu probably didn't have time to bring her phone last night. You go to the hospital immediately to find out what's going on, and remember not to mention my name in front of her sister-in-law."
He Tian replied, "Got it, I'm heading there now." She had witnessed He Mengya's madness at the company and didn't dare add fuel to the fire.
