In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 184: You Already Have a New Family

Xu Jinzhi turned to look at Xie Yanchuan, the coldness in her eyes not yet concealed as she said indifferently, "It’s fine, I won’t touch him anymore."

Xie Yanchuan hesitated, but ultimately let go of Xu Jinzhi’s hand. Xu Jinzhi knelt down, grabbed Zhao Qinghe by the collar, and forced him to look at her.

Although Zhao Qinghe was already quite drunk and somewhat disoriented, the pain had made him slightly more alert at this moment.

"As an early gift for you, spend this New Year recovering well in the hospital," she said.

"Once the holiday is over, I’ll take good care of you."

Xu Jinzhi no longer obsessed over finding evidence against Zhao Qinghe for harming her, as she had better ways to pay him back now.

Zhao Qinghe opened his mouth but was unable to utter a word. Xu Jinzhi let go of him as if tossing away trash, and he collapsed onto the ground.

Watching this scene come to an end, Song You made a phone call, telling someone there was a drunk person who had severely hurt himself in the parking lot, urging them to quickly send him to the hospital.

After hanging up the phone, Song You then turned to Xu Jinzhi. "Feel better now?"

Xu Jinzhi sneered. "That was just the tip of the iceberg."

"It’s getting late, let’s go back," Xu Jinzhi said, noticing that Song You’s car had only her in it. She then asked, "Where is the driver?"

"He’s waiting outside. I’ll call him over," replied Song You.

Xu Jinzhi nodded, "Okay."

"You go ahead, I’ll leave soon."

"Alright."

Xu Jinzhi said no more and turned to leave with Xie Yanchuan. They hadn’t gone far when they encountered Song You’s driver, who courteously greeted her, and Xu Jinzhi responded in kind.

Soon, Xie Yanchuan drove away.

On the way back, Xu Jinzhi was in a bad mood. Although she had beaten Zhao Qinghe and vented her anger, the thought of Tuantuan’s suffering still made her furious.

Xie Yanchuan noticed Xu Jinzhi’s mood and comforted her, "Don’t worry, there’s plenty of time ahead."

Though the matter had concluded when Zhou Linsen was sentenced, they both knew Zhao Qinghe was tied to it.

They wouldn’t let Zhao Qinghe off.

They were just waiting for the right moment.

"Mm," Xu Jinzhi grunted in response.

When they got home, Xu Jinzhi remembered another issue and asked Xie Yanchuan directly.

Xie Yanchuan seemed surprised. "Did Song You tell you?"

Given Tuantuan’s and Xu Jinzhi’s conditions at the time, it was naturally impossible for him to discuss these troubling matters with her.

It wasn’t just him; Song You also tactfully didn’t mention it.

However, now that Song You had discussed it with Xu Jinzhi, it didn’t matter since Tuantuan was already getting better.

Xu Jinzhi shook her head. "No, it wasn’t Youyou who told me first. Today Liang Shiyu came to apologize to me, and that’s how I found out about it."

"She came to apologize to you?" Xie Yanchuan struggled to understand. The incident had happened so long ago; what was the point of apologizing now?

"Mm." Xu Jinzhi nodded. "I heard Liang Shiyu mention that you hit Xie Linchuan?"

Xie Yanchuan paused, then nodded in admission, "Yes."

Xie Yanchuan sheepishly said, "I didn’t feel right about hitting Liang Shiyu, so I hit Xie Linchuan instead."

He had already privately stopped calling Xie Linchuan "big brother." In his heart, he no longer considered Xie Linchuan his brother.

Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but scoff, and finally sighed, "Fine, since Youyou hit her and you hit Xie Linchuan, let’s leave this matter here."

Liang Shiyu’s reckless speech had been punished.

"Yeah, in the future, as long as we’re presentable in front of our parents, that’s enough," Xie Yanchuan continued.

Hearing this, Xu Jinzhi was stunned, somewhat in disbelief.

"What’s the matter?" Seeing Xu Jinzhi stop and look at him, Xie Yanchuan asked upon hearing his voice.

Looking at the gentle man in front of her, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but reach out and embrace Xie Yanchuan, gently saying before Xie Yanchuan could react, "Xie Yanchuan, you already have a new family, new family members."

He could let go of those who didn’t care about him.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t say the latter sentence, but Xie Yanchuan understood it himself, his lips involuntarily curving into a smile as he embraced Xu Jinzhi as well.

Xie Yanchuan said, "I know, I already have new family members."

After hitting Zhao Qinghe, Xu Jinzhi hadn’t paid any more attention to him, but Song You was definitely keeping an eye on him.

The next morning, she messaged Xu Jinzhi, and when Xu Jinzhi woke up and replied, Song You immediately called her.

On the phone, Song You described how embarrassed Zhao Qinghe was, and as she spoke, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter, then laughed so hard she couldn’t catch her breath.

The incident of Xu Jinzhi hitting Zhao Qinghe yesterday was somewhat concealed, considering the club’s privacy was quite good.

But they knew there would definitely be hidden cameras in the parking lot, though such a minor issue wouldn’t compel the club to cooperate with Zhao Qinghe.

What Xu Jinzhi wanted was exactly this effect: to let Zhao Qinghe know it was her doing, yet he couldn’t do anything about it.

She even thought that whenever she was upset in the future, she’d find a chance to beat up Zhao Qinghe.

That would be much more interesting than seeing Zhao Qinghe get arrested.

The time for New Year’s celebration flew by in the blink of an eye.

This year, Xu Zhen still didn’t stay in city A for the New Year; he went traveling to a new place instead. Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan brought Tuantuan back to the Xie Family’s old house to celebrate New Year.

This year, the villa was livelier than last year because it had two more children, mainly because Xie Yihang cried a lot.

Even now, at eight or nine months, Xie Yihang was still very tearful.

Initially, Xu Jinzhi worried that Tuantuan would cry along when Xie Yihang did, but fortunately, Tuantuan was unaffected, showing no reaction no matter how much Xie Yihang cried.

Fortunately, this time Liang Shiyu behaved. During the New Year days everyone lived together, and she didn’t cause any mischief.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t plan to disturb everyone’s peace over these few days about the matter of Liang Shiyu’s reckless talking since Xie Yanchuan and Song You had already disciplined her on her behalf.

She didn’t need to hold onto it.

However, there were always some people looking to stir up trouble.

On the third day of the New Year, many guests came to the Xie Family, among them was Aunt He.

Because Xie Yihang was always wailing, and Liang Shiyu couldn’t soothe him well, it was still Xie Linchuan who took him and calmed him down.

Aunt He took it upon herself to conform like a fixture, seriously reprimanding Liang Shiyu and telling her she needed to better learn how to care for children.
