Chapter 46 46: Begin his treatment
Dinner in the Lin villa was not a pleasant affair on this night. Lin Bili had been sure that Alix would obediently do as she had been ordered to, but the time limit was exhausted and not a beep was heard from her.
With a nasty sneer on her face, projecting malice and anger, she stabbed the roasted potatoes which Jing Hee had lovingly prepared with chopsticks, imagining Alix's body as she did.
"That bitch, she dares to play with me. I will show her what I am made of." she muttered.
Sitting next to her and very worried, Jing Hee grabbed Billi's hands and held them tightly.
"Dear, calm down. You might injure your hands."
These were very precious hands that were meant to play piano and elevate their status in society.
They could not be injured like those of that wretched cripple Alix.
"Mother, that bitch refuses to do as I command." she said loudly, partially heaving with rage.
"Don't worry, we will bring her down to her level soon. Trust me, your mother. Haven't I successfully handled her all these years? She has just grown wings because she thinks Zhang Caishen has her back but, I am going to clip her wings."
After reassuring Billi, for a few minutes, Jing Hee sent her upstairs to her bedroom and then went into her own room to make a phone room.
"Hello, how is the assignment I gave you?" she asked immediately.
"I am handling it, don't call me. I told you that I don't want to be tied to you." A male voice coming from the other end of the call said and then hung up.
On Jing Hee's face, a sneer much similar to that of her daughter's formed.
"Trash like you dares to talk back to me, just wait and see how I will deal with you after using you to finish that little bitch off."
She hurled the phone at the bed and screamed in anger.
On top of Alix, that bastard Qianfan had really not returned home. The detective she hired had followed him to a private club. Lin Qianfan had a little vixen that he was keeping outside their home.
"Just wait until I find out who you are." she whispered.
Her phone buzzed and she hurried to pick it, hoping that the private detective had news on the mistress upfront.
Instead, she had a message from an unknown number, an audio file and she played it without thinking much.
"How could I allow my precious daughter to marry a crippled man? Alix on the hand makes him the perfect wife. One has crippled fingers and the other has crippled legs. They are the perfect match."
Jing Hee was stunned when she heard her own voice repeating the words she had said in the bathroom at peach hotel after the wedding.
She gasped and covered her mouth in shock, even looking around as if she suddenly felt eyes looking at her from the corners of her bedroom.
Another message came from the same number.
[One million yuan or I send this audio file to the young master Zhang.]
There was an account number attached to the message.
Jing Hee broke into a panic, unaware of what she should do next. Who was blackmailing her?
In Alix and Caishen's bedroom, at this same time, she was fighting her own battle. The battle of convincing Caishen to begin his treatment with her.
She was holding a bottle of medicine to his lips but Caishen was like a child, moving his head from side to side with his mouth closed stubbornly.
"It's just medicine, you have seen me drinking it, why are you refusing?" she asked.
Her voice was raised a tad bit in frustration.
"Mm-mm" he shook his head.
"I will not poison you, seriously we have talked about this before."
"Should I feed it to you mouth to mouth?" she asked him.
His eyes widened in shock and he observed her eyes. She looked like she was really contemplating on the matter.
"Yes, let's do that." she said, determined.
Caishen grabbed the unmarked grey bottle from her hands and took a swig of the bitter dark liquid as if he was being threatened to drink at gun point.
"Oh, that's too much."
Alix grabbed his hands and the bottle, which made it's contents spill.
Both of them had finished showering and he was in bed, ready to sleep. She was also in pajamas, white silk ones that had been prepared for her.
She was sitting on his side of the bed as she forced him to drink the medicine.
When she grabbed his hands abruptly, some of the liquid spilled on his grey silk pajama shirt.
"Crap, sorry."
She jumped up and looked around for the nearest cloth or towel to clean him up.
"It's okay." he said calmly.
The one he was talking to was not calm, she was moving around like a buzzing bee in search of a flower. She went to the bathroom and returned with a small wet towel.
Upon her return, she almost slid on the tiled floor and narrowly missed falling face down on the ground.
She fell on the bed, thankfully.
"Are you okay?" he asked her.
With her face covered in the covers of the bed, she nodded. In her mind, she was panicking however.
The cause of her sudden panic was the bare chested man on the bed who looked alluring enough for her to desire a bite.
"Why is he naked?" she asked herself.
"He is not naked." her system chimed in.
Disturbed by her behavior and worried that she would suffocate herself, Caishen used his arms to lift his body and push himself closer to her.
"Alix." he tapped her.
She squealed and jumped up, startled by his touch.
"Are you okay?" he asked her, still calm as he had been.
"Mmm." she nodded and forced herself to smile.
In her mind, she reminded herself of the facts. It was not the first time she was seeing a bare chested man. What was she, a silly young woman? She was already in her thirties, too old to be behaving like the proverbial shy innocent maiden.
"Do you still need the towel?" she asked him? She forced herself to be calm and confident.
He shook his head. He had taken the shirt off so there was nothing to wipe.
"Let's just go to sleep." he told her.
She tossed the towel on the floor and climbed into the bed.
Caishen resisted the urge to groan. Why did she throw things everywhere? She was not a slob per say, she was more like a litter bug.
"Goodnight." she said and she switched off the lights.
"Goodnight." he replied reluctantly.
He would teach her to be more organized slowly. They had time, and he would make sure that she learned. He closed his eyes and slept off quickly under the influence of the medicine.
What do you think?
