Marriage is long and desires are strong

When Jiang Wei woke up, she was in a daze; she hadn't slept this well in a long time.

Ever since she was identified as a fake heiress, her sleep has deteriorated significantly.

Was it because you exhausted yourself fighting Qin Xiaoye?

Next time... perhaps, going a step further, you'll sleep even better?

Jiang Wei sat up groggily, her hair disheveled. She yawned, turned her head, and saw blue diamond earrings and a jade bracelet on the bedside table, which startled her awake.

Both pieces of jewelry are very expensive.

The earrings are worth over ten thousand yuan.

That jadeite bracelet... is made of full-color, bright green jadeite, as clear as water, with a deep, penetrating green hue. It is expensive yet understated, elegant yet refined, and worth at least five million.

Qin Xiaoye lent it to her temporarily, but she was busy yesterday and forgot about it, so she didn't return it.

She wanted to talk to Qin Xiaoye, picked up her phone, and then realized, in a daze, that the two of them didn't even have each other on WeChat.

That's right, that's Qin Xiaoye, how can we just contact him casually?

She must be careful with her words and actions.

He didn't give her his contact information, which means that Qin Xiaoye doesn't want to be bothered by her, and she should understand that.

Jiang Wei carefully put the jewelry away, not wanting to lose it; she couldn't afford to pay for it.

When Jiang Wei arrived at the pet hospital, as soon as she entered, Section Chief Wang, wagging his fluffy golden tail, jumped into her arms.

A newly arrived yellow monk parakeet named "Jiaojiao" chirped, "Give me a kiss, give me a kiss, baby, give me a kiss..."

Jiaojiao was uncomfortable wearing the bib, so she kept biting it, even biting her own feet until she bled. She was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Jiaojiao's owner is named Yu Ge, a beautiful young lady.

When I brought Jiaojiao in, I was anxious and guilty: "I had just been working on some documents when it got like this. I never imagined that when it was uncomfortable, it wouldn't bite its poop bag, but would bite itself. It breaks my heart."

Jiang Wei gently and slowly said to her, "Jiaojiao only knows that she feels uncomfortable, but she can't figure out why she feels uncomfortable, so she bites herself. Actually, people are the same. When they feel uncomfortable and confused, they can't figure out what's wrong, so they choose to stab themselves to relieve the discomfort. It's clearly someone else's problem, but some people would rather hurt themselves."

Jiang Wei said softly, "Because I couldn't distinguish where the pain and discomfort came from, I thought it was my own fault. I bit it so hard, but I didn't even realize it."

Yu Ge's breath hitched, and she froze. She placed her right hand on her left wrist, which was adorned with a dozen or so gold bracelets that jingled. Beneath the bracelets were countless marks from when she had slashed herself with a knife.

Yu Ge paused for a moment: "Maybe it's my own fault."

Jiang Wei said gently but firmly: "Blame others more and reflect less on yourself. It's always someone else's fault."

Yu Ge didn't speak, but nodded.

Jiaojiao needs to be hospitalized for a week. Yu Ge will come to pick her up after a week, but she happens to be away on a business trip, so she'll just leave her here.

Next to Jiaojiao was a white budgie, which was very friendly and loved to chirp, making it a favorite of the whole family. It would fly around following people all day long, until one day it got stepped on.

When it arrived at the hospital, it was barely alive. The owner said they didn't want it anymore, that the medical expenses were too high and unnecessary; they bought it for fifty yuan, and couldn't possibly spend five thousand yuan on medical treatment. They just brought it over to try.

A budgie costs only twenty or thirty yuan, and a white one is only fifty or sixty yuan. They are too cheap, so owners often don't take good care of them or put in much effort.

When birds are sold cheaply, all sorts of ways they die appear. They get crushed while sleeping with them, stepped on, squeezed by doors, scratched by the family cat, taken out for walks and eaten by stray cats, or taken away and flown away without protection…

For animals, family members can be dangerous. Many pets die because they are too attached to their loved ones.

Jiang Wei took care of the white tiger for two months before she was able to save it. She named it "An An" in the hope that it would be safe and sound from now on.

An'an was also shouting frantically from the side, "Mommy, Mommy, give me a kiss~"

An'an learned to speak from Jiao Jiao very quickly, but the words she learned were all strange and unusual.

Jiang Wei smiled and pulled Section Chief Wang along, reaching out to touch An'an with her finger. An'an squinted her eyes and purred softly.

Section Chief Wang cried out in grievance.

She smiled and patted Section Chief Wang again. Section Chief Wang circled around her a few times, satisfied, before going to eat.

Jiang Wei began to work seriously.

Just as I was about to cut off a husky's testicles, the phone rang.

She answered the call.

Jiang's mother, Xu Mo, spoke through her voice, a forced smile on her lips: "Weiwei, come home for dinner this weekend. You haven't been home since you got married."

Jiang Wei paused for two seconds, and the atmosphere became quiet.

Xu Mo: "Your father misses you very much too."

Jiang Wei said softly, "Okay, I'll go back this weekend."

Jiang Wan's voice came over: "This is hardly a marriage, it's just moving in together. We'll just end up getting divorced anyway."

Jiang Wei and Qin Xiaoye's marriage was planned with a two-year divorce in mind, and they did not intend to announce it or go through a formal marriage process.

So Jiang Wan used this to mock her.

Xu Mo scolded, "Wanwan, don't talk nonsense."

She smiled and said, "Weiwei, remember to invite Qin Xiaoye over for dinner this weekend. After all, they're in-laws."

Jiang Wei: "Mom, you know that my marriage to him was just an arranged one."

Xu Mo covered the microphone and walked to the side, whispering, "That's why I'm telling you to work hard. As a wife, especially the wife of a powerful and wealthy man, you need to hold onto your husband's heart. You're married to him now, you have such a unique opportunity... Did you go to the training course?"

Hearing Xu Mo start lecturing her again, Jiang Wei felt annoyed and whispered, "Mom, I know."

Xu Mo was happy then: "Weiwei, it's good that you know how to be sensible."

Jiang Wan's voice came from afar: "Her? She's nothing more than someone worth sleeping with..."

Xu Mo hung up the phone.

Jiang Wei's mind went blank for a moment before she regained her composure and began cutting the eggs.

Just finished cutting it.

Ding Yi, the little girl who brought the hawksbill turtle that had been abused and was bleeding, walked in.

Ding asked cautiously, "Dr. Jiang, how is Miaomiao?"

She was terrified.

Jiang Wei took her to see Miaomiao and explained, "It has too many injuries. After the surgery, it will need to be hospitalized. It won't be able to be discharged for at least a month."

Ding Yi stroked Miaomiao, remembering how Miaomiao was covered in blood when it was brought to him and how much it had suffered, and his eyes welled up with tears again.

Ding Yi was only 14 years old. She had never seen so much blood before. The cat was in a terrible state after being abused. She was awakened by nightmares for several days in a row. She was so frightened by the scene of Miaomiao being abused that she was covered in sweat and often woke up crying.

She choked up, "Dr. Jiang, tell me, with so many bad people, what should we do?"

"I've been doing some research these past few days, and it turns out that cat and dog abuse has become an industry, much more than I originally imagined."

"I am really disappointed with this world."

Jiang Wei looked at her earnestly: "Protecting yourself is saving yourself. Protect your energy from being wasted on those bad people. Protect yourself so that you can still move forward bravely."
