Chapter 2

Jiang Yuning felt uncomfortable under his unblinking gaze. Thinking of what he had said before, she shook her head gently and said:

“No need. I’m afraid I’ll be unlucky if I’m in the same space with you.”

The corners of Xiao Liye’s lips, which had been gradually rising, froze. He frowned and looked at her again, as if he was a little confused about the situation.

Suddenly, Jiang Ping said something ambiguous:

“Girl, you’re actually calling me your husband? Of all the girls who like our boss, you’re the most direct.”

Jiang Yuning was about to explain, but Xiao Liye smiled again and said rather embarrassedly:

“This should be the first time we’ve met. You’re a little too quick to call your husband a wife. There’s no such thing as a husband-killer.”

Jiang Yuning’s face turned red, her brain froze and she couldn’t speak.

Her dazed look was totally inconsistent with her stunning appearance, and she even had a bit of cuteness in her look.

Xiao Liye’s eyes were glued to her face. He curled his lips and said in a gentle voice:

“Don’t be afraid of saying the wrong thing. I’m famous for my good temper and personality. I won’t scold you, so don’t worry.”

Jiang Yuning choked, and looked at him with her deer-like eyes, as if she couldn’t believe that he could say such words.

If she remembered correctly, he was the one who threw things and kicked chairs at home, and he was also the one who spoke in a fierce tone when he didn’t turn around just now.

Does he have a misunderstanding of the term good temper and good character?

Time passed by minute by minute. Jiang Ping was stunned. It was not only that Xiao Liye could say such a thing, but the key point was that he was a person who pursued efficiency in the past.

Even when reporting on work, one has to pick out the key points, not to mention staying with Jiang Yuning for half a day without saying a word.

He felt that this girl might be promoted to the boss’s wife. He suppressed his panic, did not dare to disturb her, and left quietly.

Xiao Liye waited a long time for an answer but was not in a hurry at all. Almost everyone around him had left. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was almost evening. He couldn’t help but raise the corner of his lips and said:

“How about we have dinner together first, and then I’ll take you home.”

At this moment, two villagers who worked in the factory hurried over to work the night shift. Seeing Jiang Yuning, they shouted with regret:

“Li Ye, you have such a good temper. Your father married you a young widow, and only you could let her stand in front of you without beating her.”

“Of course you are. If you treat her well, she might come after you in the future. You have to cut the Gordian knot.”

“Isn’t this nonsense? With your conditions, you can find many good girls, why are you choosing a young widow?”

Xiao Liye’s smile froze, and he turned his gaze back to Jiang Yuning’s face, saying word by word:

“You are my… daughter-in-law?”

Jiang Yuning looked apologetic and hesitant:

“I’m sorry, your father asked me to come here and tell you to go back with me… go back…” She was a little scared when he stared at her, and she couldn’t even speak clearly, and her pretty face turned red.

Xiao Liye’s face gradually darkened, and he said unhappily:

“What? You still expect me to go back and spend the wedding night with you? Do you think I, Xiao Liye, will be interested in you?”

After saying this, regardless of Jiang Yuning’s embarrassed expression, he warned the two villagers:

“I don’t admit this, so don’t spread rumors about it.”

The two men suddenly didn’t dare to speak and nodded angrily.

Jiang Yuning was completely ashamed. She pursed her lips, paused for two seconds, and said in a difficult voice:

“Then come back with me now and tell them that the wedding is not counted.”

Xiao Liye paused for a moment. He didn’t expect her to be so straightforward, but he quickly regained his composure and said,

“Don’t play tricks on me, or don’t blame me for messing with you.”

Jiang Yuning clenched her slender hands slightly, not wanting to make a scene in a crowded place. She turned around and walked out of the factory first:

“Don’t worry, it won’t happen.”

Xiao Liye still felt like he was being teased. He followed behind her, his cold eyes occasionally glancing at her back: “…….”

Looking so good,

How could her man be willing to commit suicide?

The two men walked one in front and the other behind, walking very fast without saying a word along the way. Just as they arrived in front of the brand new tile-roofed house in Xiaojia Village, they saw Xiao Fangdong.

Jiang Yuning immediately expressed her opinion:

“Uncle, let’s forget about Xiao Liye and me. It’s not appropriate.”

Xiao Fangdong said anxiously:

“Why is it inappropriate? Did he say something to you? Don’t take it personally. That’s just the kind of person he is.”

Xiao Liye immediately said unhappily:

“Her own consent doesn’t count. Just let her go. I didn’t force her.”

Xiao Fangdong said: “You didn’t force her, and you didn’t make a small number of mistakes anyway, otherwise how could she say such a thing?”

Xiao Liye chuckled and said:

“If I don’t criticize her, do I have to praise her?” At this point, he looked at Jiang Yuning from head to toe with an ambiguous look: “There are some things I can praise about her.”

Xiao Fangdong was suddenly speechless.

Jiang Yuning’s cheeks flushed red from being humiliated by Xiao Liye, but she still said softly:

“Uncle, consider this as me causing you trouble. I will…”

Xiao Fangdong interrupted:

“Why is it a trouble? It’s not a trouble. You seem to be a good kid. Don’t mind it. Even if Zhaoye doesn’t agree, I have to call him to agree today.”

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and prepared to hit Xiao Liye with a hammer.

Xiao Liye stepped back to avoid his fist and said coldly:

“She knows she’s not right for me, so stop trying to match us up.”

His voice was so loud that people from the front row of tiled houses poked their heads out of the windows to look over and said,

“Fang Dong, the girl you found for Li Ye, not to mention Li Ye has objections, even a normal man would not agree to replace her. Let the girl go back quickly.”

“Of course not. If Li Ye forces her to leave, you won’t be able to explain to her parents.”

“What kind of girl is that? She’s been married for over a year and she’s not even pregnant yet. That’s why she forced her husband to death. She’s young and looks kind, but she’s probably really vicious.”

Jiang Yuning’s beautiful eyes were red and wet. She was only 19 years old. Facing the strange looks of the crowd and Xiao Liye’s disgust, she felt uncomfortable after all.

However, Xiao Fangdong helped her to curse back at this time:

“What’s it to you? If you don’t know how to speak, then shut up. It’s none of your business.”

Xiao Liye also raised his cold eyebrows and warned:

“Also, keep your mouth shut about this. If I hear anyone spread the news of my marriage to her back to the county, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

The group of people didn’t dare to say a word.

Facing Xiao Liye’s intention to give up, Xiao Fangdong had no choice but to persuade him:

“Think back then, if her father hadn’t saved me, where would you be, not to mention you would be able to build such a big business now. If you have a conscience,

Even if you don’t like her, you should at least try to get along for a while. If you send her back on the wedding day, I will never be able to rest in peace even after I die.”

Jiang Yuning lowered her head slightly and said:

“Stop arguing. This time it’s my family’s fault for not being considerate enough. I’m packing up and leaving now.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Liye said coldly:

“Okay, why don’t we just try to get along? I’ll tolerate her for half a year at most, and then let her leave on her own. Don’t force me to fight or scream.”
