Tang Beibei couldn’t take it anymore when she heard He Lan scold her mother.

“He Lan, when you visited the Rong residence, you often stole things from Rong Mei’er. When Rong Mei’er couldn’t find her things, you would frame me and let the Rongs insult me. I can’t accept your good intentions. Get lost!”

He Lan retorted with a sneer at the mention of the things she had stolen from Rong Mei’er.

“Tang Beibei, don’t throw accusations when you don’t have any evidence. You were the one who stole her things but you framed me. Mei’er obviously hasn’t beaten you enough, so you are asking for more.”

Tang Beibei wanted to say something, but the man in the wheelchair grabbed her hand.

“Did this woman hit you?” he asked.

Tang Beibei was stunned for a few seconds. She looked up at He Lan, who was sneering at her, and nodded.

He Lan had stolen from Rong Mei’er and framed her in the past. She even helped Rong Mei’er beat her up. He Lan had bullied her a lot in the past.

Jiang Jingchen’s heart ached when he saw her clench her fists. Her nails were already digging into her palms, leaving deep imprints.

“Beibei, don’t be hasty. This is a public place. It’s not good to make a scene here.”

How dare this woman, He Lan, hit his wife? He must teach her a lesson.

However, that scene would be very gory. He couldn’t let Tang Beibei see it, or she would be frightened.

Tang Beibei blushed when she heard what he said.

This was a public place. It was indeed not good for her to quarrel with He Lan like a foul-mouthed woman shouting in public.

“I’m sorry, I was too worked up. I won’t argue with her anymore.” She returned to her seat.

He Lan became even more smug when she saw Tang Beibei back down. “Just admit that you can’t win against me. I think you’re just afraid that I’ll talk about your ugly past. He’s so ugly, don’t you know?”

Jiang Jingchen raised his head, his eyes sinister and cold. Although he was looking up, the cold air around him was terrifying.

He Lan felt a chill down her spine, as if she was a prey targeted by a lion. The lion could pounce on her at any time to kill her. She swallowed hard and avoided looking at the man.

She was puzzled. This cripple’s aura was quite frightening.

But so what? Even if he had a formidable aura, he was still a cripple. It’s impossible for him to hit her. He Lan snorted disdainfully in her heart.

“Tang Beibei, don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you have a pretty face and a good figure.”

She then said to the man in the wheelchair, “Tang Beibei is willing to spend time with someone like you for money. She has been with many men before. Don’t get yourself sick.”

“You are very loud.” Jiang Jingchen said indifferently to He Lan. “I’d be disgusted if someone gave me a woman like you, who has no manners, no grace, no face, no figure, and no tact. So, please don’t use such despicable means to get my attention.”

“You narcissist! Who’s trying to get your attention? You’re the one with no manners, you b*stard!” He Lan rolled her eyes in anger.

At that moment, a waiter brought over two glasses of hot lemonade. Jiang Jingchen picked up a drink and splash it on He Lan’s face. The lemonade was quite hot. He Lan screamed and covered her face with her hands.

Jiang Jingchen’s voice was as cold as ice.

“Scram if you don’t want to be disfigured!”

He Lan covered her face in anger and ran to find ice.

Jiang Jingchen turned his head and saw Tang Beibei’s eyes widen in surprise. She was staring at him in shock. He sighed softly. He still scared her in the end.

He was now in a wheelchair, or He Lan would be disfigured.

He close Tang Beibei’s mouth with his hand. “I taught her a lesson for you. Are you frightened?”

Tang Beibei came back to her senses and smiled. “I’m not frightened, just surprised. You were so fast. Impressive!”

His swift actions just now were so awesome and cool!

Jiang Jingchen stroked her head. “If anyone bullies you in future, just tell me. You’re my wife now. It’s my responsibility to protect you.”

Tang Beibei looked at him in shock. Even her own parents had never said such words, but this man, whom she had married for only a few days, actually told her that he would protect her.

She was moved even though he was disabled and only had six months to leave.

She held his big hand and smiled innocently. “Hubby, I’ll remember that.”

The two of them had their drinks and went to the men’s clothing section after Song Zhou returned.

Tang Beibei had chosen a few casual pieces for Jiang Jingchen. A sweater, a printed white shirt and a few coats.

Jiang Jingchen couldn’t help but tease her when he saw the clothes she was holding.

“Beibei, do these clothes make couple outfits with yours?”

Tang Beibei was stunned and shook her head. “I’ll go pick out a few more pieces that match my clothes.”

In the end, she picked out more than ten pieces. But she felt that he looked good in all of them.

Although his legs were injured, he had a good figure and could wear anything.

She took the clothes to the shop assistant and asked, “I’ll take all these. How much are they?”

These clothes didn’t have labels, but when she bought women’s clothes earlier, they told her that the clothes here were inexpensive.

The shop assistant was surprised to hear that she would take the entire pile of clothes she was holding.

However, she remembered the instructions from her higher-ups. She took the clothes and calculated the price. She was speechless in her heart, but she plastered a bright smile on her face.

“Madam, because you’ve bought so much before, we are giving you a special discount of 20%.”

“20% off?”

Tang Beibei raised two fingers to confirm.

The waiter nodded. “Yes, 20% off.”

It was a 20% discount after two zeros were removed from the original price.

“That’s so reasonable. I’ll buy a few more.”

Tang Beibei squatted down and said to Jiang Jingchen, “Hubby, the clothes here are of good quality and are well-designed. I’ll buy you a few more.”

“Sure. Pick what you like.” Jiang Jingchen said gently.

Tang Beibei ran to get two suits that looked like they were made of good material and asked the shop assistant to get her one of the suits on the model in the display window.

Song Zhou wanted to complain. This store was a world-famous brand. The shirt she was holding was a limited edition that cost more than 30,000 yuan.

He then looked at the young master in the wheelchair. His eyes were still on the woman. Song Zhou could not help but click his tongue.

Well, the young master wouldn’t even blink if Tang Beibei asked him to buy a few luxury yachts, let alone a few pieces of clothing.

In the end, they bought fifteen pieces for only four hundred and thirty yuan. Tang Beibei paid very quickly.

She could not bear to buy clothes for herself, but she was willing to spend money on him.

The shop assistants finally sent them off and the tension in their hearts finally relaxed.

The higher-ups had called to instruct the staff to entertain them well. If they didn’t serve them well, not only would their pay be docked, but they would also be fired.

When Tang Beibei was at the store, they were all on high alert. They would fulfill any request she raised.

“Manager, why did the higher-ups gave us such instructions? Is that woman someone very important?”

The store manager, who was doing the accounts, glared at them.

“I don’t know who that woman is, but I heard that the man in the wheelchair is a high-level executive at the head office. If he’s so respectful to that woman, she must be very important and not someone we can mess with.”

The few shop assistants got it. Someone must have asked them to play along to make her happy.

Their hearts were filled with all sorts of envy and jealousy.

When would there ever be someone who would spend millions on clothes just to make them happy? They would wake up from their dreams laughing if it was just a few hundred yuan.

After leaving the mall, Jiang Jingchen got into his car and sent a message to Song Zhou.

“Investigate the He family that is related to the Rong family. Focus on how He Lan had bullied my wife..”
