âMy wife is your sister-in-law. She pranked you and you want to throw sulfuric acid on her?â
Jiang Jingchen chuckled. âThe law is impartial. Itâll be too late for regrets when they arrest you and lock you up for 10 years!â
He said it so righteously that Fang Han smiled.
If Jiang Minghua really threw acid on Tang Beibei, would Jiang Jingchen just send her to prison?
She wished!
He would definitely torture her until she wished that she was dead!
Jiang Minghua was speechless. She was so angry that she felt dizzy. She looked at her miserable self and left angrily.
Jiang Jingchen stretched out his long leg to stop her. âWe havenât settle this thing yet. Why are you rushing to reincarnate?â
âYouâ¦â
âBeibei, tell me what happened.â
Tang Beibei said quickly, âI went to the front desk to ask them to tap me in, but they wouldnât let me in.â
âThen Jiang Minghua came and spoke to me. I wanted to give her the coffee I was going to give you, but my hand trembled and I accidentally spilled coffee on her.â
She even looked at Jiang Minghua apologetically and said, âI apologize to you. Please forgive me. It was you who didnât want to let me in and said that Iâm a country bumpkin in-law who will never be accepted by the Jiang family.â âTang Beibei, youâre talking nonsense. Your hand didnât tremble. You threw coffee on me on purpose.â
Jiang Jingchen said, âEven if my wife did it on purpose, she isnât wrong!â
âJiang Jingchen, youâ¦â
âTang Beibei is my wife. Sheâs the first young madam of the Jiang family. Although Iâm not yet the head of the family, the eldest sister-in-law in the family is like a mother. Sheâs your elder, yet you scold her.â
âDo you think that my wife likes to come to this sh*tty office? Itâs only because I work here.â
âSince you donât welcome her here, Iâll also stop coming too. I quit!â Jiang Minghua looked at him in shock. With so much drama at the company and her father being sick now, it was the best time for a successor to take over Jiang Corporation.
And Jiang Jingchen actually wanted to quit? What was wrong with his brain?
Or was he per Wu Ruiâs assessment: a piece of trash with no ambition?
âYouâre leaving Jiang Corporation because of a woman?â
âWhy should I stay here when Jiang Corporation doesnât welcome my wife?
Wait to celebrate new year with the people here?â
Tang Beibei frowned when she heard the man say that he quit. âAre you really resigning?â
âYes!â
Tang Beibei bit her lip and held his arm. With a cold face, she said to Jiang Minghua, âMy husband has resigned. Whether you accept it or not, he doesnât want his salary anymore. You can stop thinking about bullying him!â
Jiang Minghua was more than happy to let Jiang Jingchen go.
She would have no competition after he left. She just needed a nod from her father to get the management rights to Jiang Corporation.
âI wonât make him stay. Heâs a good-for-nothing!â
Tang Beibei was furious when she heard Jiang Minghua insult her husband again.
âEvery dog has its day. Jiang Minghua. My husband has skills. Heâll definitely not do worse than you. Just you wait!â
Jiang Minghua replied disdainfully, âWhat dog and what day? You can really talk big. Who is Jiang Jingchen to compare himself to Jiang Corporation? Castles in the air! Since he has resigned, both of you should get lost now!â Tang Beibei gritted her teeth. She was really angry and wanted to scold Jiang Minghua back, but Jiang Jingchen stopped her.
âLetâs not argue anymore. Itâs meaningless even if we win.â
âShe will regret her actions someday. Letâs go.â
Tang Beibei glared at Jiang Minghua. âJiang Minghua, you are going to have a stomach upset tonight and pimples on your face tomorrow!â
â⦠Childish. You actually end the conversation with a curse like a small kid, huh?â
Jiang Minghua walked away to take care of the coffee spill on her with disdain all over her face.
Tang Beibei followed Jiang Jingchen out of the office building. Fang Han asked her with a smile, âYouâre too cute to even think of cursing her like that.â
Tang Beibei replied with a serious face, âIt wasnât a curse. Thereâs a basis for what I said. Iâve advised Jiang Minghua to go for a check-up before, but she wouldnât listen.â
âThe pimples on her lower lip are symptoms of her digestive problems. If she had sought treatment and changed her eating habits then, her health could have improved. But I bet she continued to eat spicy food. Iâm not sure if itâs so easy to restore her health now.â
âSheâs using makeup to cover things up, but itâs not a sustainable solution. Her skin is oily, and her hair gets oily easily. Her condition has worsened. More symptoms will pop up in the next few days.â
Although Fang Han didnât quite understand what Tang Beibei said, she was quite impressed.
Tang Beibei then said, âFang Han, you should rest more too. The dark circles under your eyes are quite bad and your eye bags are getting worse. The fine lines around your eyes as well as your eye bags can be treated.â
Tang Beibei then looked at Fang Hanâs wrist and placed her fingers on her pulse.
She said slowly, âIf you continue to stay up late, your period will be affected and your mammary glands will swell.â
â⦠Hmm.â
âItâs treatable. If the swelling gets worse, the likelihood of getting breast cancer will increase. In terms of gynecology, you have to⦠Mmm.â
Tang Beibei was about to say more when Fang Han covered her mouth.
âWeâll talk about that later.â
Fang Han looked at Jiang Jingchen with a pleading expression. âPlease take your little doctor away!â
Jiang Jingchen hugged Tang Beibei and chuckled happily. âMy wife is giving you a free consultation and you donât appreciate it. How ungrateful!â
Of course, Fang Han appreciated it, but she had idol baggage.
She also felt embarrassed when Tang Beibei said all that in Fu Jinâs presence. Especially when Tang Beibei said that she had fine lines. She was only 24. years old, but she already had fine lines. She might as well stab her in her face. âBeibei, you can tell me more next time. I have a date with Fu Jin. Bye now.â Fang Han pulled Fu Jin towards her car and asked him, âDo you know that the woman you had a crush on is so naive?â
Fu Jin chuckled softly. âYes. She isnât just naive, sheâs also very silly. But she has a kind heart and a very warm smile.â
Fang Han clicked her tongue and pointed at herself. âYour current girlfriend is here, Mr. Fu Jin. Please look at me.â
Fu Jin looked at her. âLittle big sister Fang Han, you asked me and I answered frankly. What did I do wrong?â
Fang Han clenched her fists. âYou are such an insensitive straight guy. Donât you know that it makes me jealous when you know her so well?â
Fu Jin held back his laughter and said, âFeel like eating vinegar? It can soften blood vessels. Come, Iâll take you to eat dumplings!â
They couldnât continue this chat anymore.
On the other side, Jiang Jingchen brought his little wife to his car and raised his eyebrows at her all-dressed-up appearance.
âYou came to the office just to bring me coffee?â
Tang Beibei retorted with a little embarrassment, âWhat else would I be doing?â
Jiang Jingchen clicked his tongue and scratched her chin. âHow much was that cup of coffee?â
âThirty yuan!â
She felt a pinch when she mentioned the price of the coffee.
That coffee was so expensive!
Jiang Jingchen could tell from her expression that it was more than coffee. She was a thrifty person who was so stingy that she would think long and hard before she bought a milk tea. Why would she spend 30 yuan on a cup of coffee? âFu Jin bought it for you?â
âAh, how did you know that?â
Jiang Jingchen was secretly glad that he didnât drink it or he would have choked.
However, Tang Beibei said, âI donât take advantage of my friends. Iâve already transferred 30 yuan to him. Iâm afraid that he wonât accept it on WeChat, so I also tried Alipay.â
âHaha. Should I be rewarding you for your wit?â
âThereâs no need for that. Youâve known about my wit for a long time. Thereâs no need for open praise.â
Jiang Jingchen thought in his heart, was he even praising her?
No, he was mocking her for not only having Fu Jinâs WeChat, but also other contact methods!
He didnât want to talk anymore because he would vomit blood sooner or later.
He started the car to take her to lunch.
Tang Beibei consoled him. âWe should celebrate your resignation from Jiang Corporation. You donât need to put up with their bullying anymore. The next job you find will be better, with kinder co-workers!â
Jiang Jingchen pinched her cheek. âYouâre quite optimistic. Arenât you worried that youâll need to support me if I canât find a job?â
Tang Beibei thought for a bit and shook her head. âYou are so smart and familiar with so many productivity applications. And you are quite good at contingency planning.â
âItâs fine too if you donât want to work.â
âFu Jin said that I can now take part in a much bigger dance competition. I can even debut after I win. I heard that itâs quite lucrative to be an artiste nowadays. Iâll let you spend the money I earn.â
Jiang Jingchenâs heart softened a little when he heard the little woman praise him and said that she would support him.
âArenât you afraid that Iâll turn bad if you let me spend your money?â
âYou canât do that!â
The womanâs face immediately turned serious as she said, âAlthough we didnât get married by choice, we still have to abide by the rules of marriage since weâre husband and wife.â
Jiang Jingchenâs caressed her cheek. âThere are many ways to be bad. Not just having other women on the side, Obedient Beibei.â
Tang Beibeiâs little face was almost flattened from his caress, but she wasnât angry. Instead, she counted with her fingers as she said. âEating, drinking, whoring, gambling. Itâs fine to eat and drink, but you canât go whoring or gambling. They are not good for you because theyâll hurt you physically and mentally.â
âOkay. Continue.â
âThereâs also a process when a person turns bad. If you think that youâre on the path, it must be because I havenât done a good job as your wife. Iâll need to reflect on it too.â
Jiang Jingchen looked her in the eye. âOh. Obedient Beibei, are you still angry with me?â
âAngry about what?â
He suddenly leaned in. Tang Beibei blushed and looked at him in confusion.
âItâs good that youâre not angry.â
Jiang Jingchen happily pecked her on the lips. âIf youâre still angry, Iâm going to turn bad.â
The man then commented, âObedient Beibei, Iâm scared of myself when Iâm bad.â
Tang Beibei gulped. âHubby, are you threatening me?â
âItâs not a threat. Just a reminder.â
âA reminder that Iâm going to do something bad to you tonight!â
