Chapter 7: Are You Displeased with Me?

Xie Jingcheng sneered, “She’s my wife. If my relationship with her isn’t good, does that mean my relationship with you should be better?”

Jiang Xianhui felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her whole body on the verge of splitting apart.

Impossible!

How could Xie Jingcheng be so protective of Jiang Xianli?

No… no…

He must be pretending!

His real concern must still be Ye Tinghuan.

Suddenly, Jiang Xianhui turned her attention to Ye Tinghuan with a smile, saying, “Who is this beautiful lady? Why does she look so unwell? Is she ill?”

In the past, she had hated Ye Tinghuan and wished to tear her apart.

But having lived another life, she realized that all the suffering she endured was actually meant for Jiang Xianli.

So this time, her greatest revenge should be against Jiang Xianli!

Ye Tinghuan smiled gently, “I’m Ah Cheng’s… friend, Ye Tinghuan.”

“Oh… hello, hello! Is your bicycle new too? How much did it cost? I was just thinking of buying one for my partner.”

“220 yuan.”

“220 yuan?”

Jiang Xianhui looked troubled, “That’s quite expensive.”

Wu Jianting said, “Xiaohui, let’s not buy it.”

“No! Our rented house is so far from your school. Without a bicycle, you’ll wear out your feet commuting back and forth.”

With that, Jiang Xianhui looked at Jiang Xianli with a pitiful expression, “Second sister, could you lend me 200 yuan? I’ll pay you back within six months at most.”

She was confident that with so many people around, including Xie Jingcheng and Ye Tinghuan, Jiang Xianli wouldn’t dare to be heartless to her own sister.

Besides, she knew that the Xie family must have given Jiang Xianli a substantial amount as a bridal price, so she must have money now!

But to her surprise, Jiang Xianli didn’t care about others’ opinions at all and didn’t spare her any face.

“You slept with my ex-boyfriend, and now you want me to lend you money to buy him a bicycle? If you’re crazy, go get yourself treated, and stop embarrassing yourself here!”

Jiang Xianli’s voice was loud, drawing the attention of many people. Jiang Xianhui’s face flushed red, and she hurriedly covered her mouth.

“Second sister! Please stop. If you’re not going to lend me the money, just say so.”

“Get lost!”

Jiang Xianli shook off her arm. She wasn’t pretending; she genuinely disliked Jiang Xianhui and found her repulsive.

Jiang Xianhui’s eyes turned red, “Second sister, we’re siblings. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. If you’re still angry, you can hit me or scold me. Just don’t ignore me, second sister… woo woo…”

“Jiang Xianli!”

Wu Jianting grabbed Jiang Xianhui’s shoulders, glaring angrily at Jiang Xianli.

“Enough already. No one wanted what happened. If anyone’s to blame, it’s me. Xiaohui is also a victim. I don’t want to create a rift between you two sisters because of me. Stop berating her.”

Now that he had married Jiang Xianhui, even though he still had feelings for Jiang Xianli, he had to align himself with Jiang Xianhui to maximize his benefits.

He would never engage in actions that would backfire on him.

Jiang Xianli looked at him with disdain, “Who do you think you are? Do you really think you have any place in my heart? Ha… I was blind before, thinking you were a seven-star ladybug, but it turns out you’re just a dung beetle dressed in fancy clothes. From now on, both of you should stay out of my sight. I’m disgusted!”

Wu Jianting clenched his fists tightly, a deep hatred swelling within him.

Jiang Xianli, this vile woman, now that she’s with a rich man, looks down on him.

One day, he would make everyone who looked down on him crawl at his feet!

“Second sister…”

Jiang Xianhui called out with a mournful tone. Before she could say more, she was knocked over by two children chasing each other.

“Ah…”

She stumbled and nearly fell, but instead of grabbing onto Wu Jianting, she threw herself towards Ye Tinghuan.

She wanted Jiang Xianli to see how Xie Jingcheng would panic and worry if Ye Tinghuan was hurt.

“Ah…”

“Ugh… it hurts.”

Jiang Xianhui and Ye Tinghuan both fell to the ground.

“Xiaohui!”

Wu Jianting hurriedly helped Jiang Xianhui up.

“Huanyuan, are you okay?”

Xie Jingcheng also knelt in front of Ye Tinghuan, looking anxious.

“Ah Cheng, my ankle hurts so much… I think it’s sprained.”

Xie Jingcheng looked down and saw her fair right ankle was red and swollen.

Ye Tinghuan’s long eyelashes were wet with tears, “What should I do, Ah Cheng? I have to shoot the day after tomorrow.”

“It’s okay. I know your director; I’ll help you take a leave. Don’t worry, I’ll take you to the hospital right now.”

As Xie Jingcheng reached out to pick her up, he hesitated with his hand halfway in the air.

Turning to Jiang Xianli, he said, “Um… it’s a matter of gender. It’s not appropriate for me to do this. You should help Huanyuan up.”

Before Jiang Xianli could react, Ye Tinghuan tearfully said, “Ah Cheng, are you displeased with me?”

“Nonsense. You’re so gentle and beautiful. What man wouldn’t be fond of you? It’s just that you’re now a star, and if someone captures this and it gets published, it could harm your reputation.”

Jiang Xianhui pretended to be shocked and loudly said, “Second brother-in-law, you only married my second sister yesterday, and today you’re being so nice to another woman? You and Ye Tinghuan aren’t just ordinary friends, are you? I see now, you married my second sister because it was arranged by your parents, without any feelings involved. So, did you and Ye Tinghuan get together before your marriage to my second sister? That means… my second sister is the third party who broke up your fated couple?”
