Jiang Jingxue lied without batting an eye as she recounted her grievances.

Yao Guilan and Jiang Zhizhi didn't know what to say after hearing this.

Chen Yuyan immediately echoed obsequiously, "Thank you for the treat. Dinner tonight is very sumptuous."

He took out the marriage certificate and handed it to Jiang Jingxue with both hands.

“Jingxue, oh no, sister, brother-in-law, from now on we are one family. You two need to take good care of things when we return to the city this time.”

Jiang Jingxue took the marriage certificate and praised, "Great, great! You two are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman!"

He closed the marriage certificate and returned it to Chen Yuyan.

Jiang Jingxue sighed, feigning reluctance, and said, "I don't even know how to tell you about this..."

“This afternoon, I just received a call from them. They said that Gu Pingwei and I are not legally married, so they don’t accept my claim and refuse to give me the spot.”

"What?"

Upon hearing this news, Chen Yuyan and Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Chen Yuyan was truly at a loss.

To secure this spot, he went to great lengths, including collecting dowry money and registering his marriage.

Now, he's being told that things are falling apart because Jiang Jingxue and Gu Pingwei haven't registered their marriage?

Jiang Zhizhi, her face full of anger, stood up abruptly from her chair.

"Jiang Jingxue! You're deliberately playing a trick on me, aren't you?"

"Since you and Gu Pingwei haven't registered your marriage, then go and register it! You already promised Chen Zhiqing that you would help him get this spot, so what's with repeatedly going back on your word?"

Jiang Zhizhi spoke for Chen Yuyan.

But Chen Yuyan wouldn't be the one to stick his neck out; he would just sit back and watch Jiang Zhizhi stand up for him.

Jiang Jingxue kept playing the victim.

“It’s all my fault as the older sister for being so useless and unable to help you. But according to the customs of our Gu family, the bride’s family must provide enough dowry before the two of you can get married. I’m still a few hundred yuan short of my dowry, and I can’t raise it all in a short time.”

"But don't worry, once my seafood market opens and I make money, I'll make up for the dowry myself. Then I can rightfully get a marriage certificate with Gu Pingwei."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuyan...

Who knows when the seafood market will open and he'll start making money? By then, his quota for returning to the city will be long gone.

Was the previous bride price wasted?

Considering the costs we've incurred, we really can't let all our efforts go to waste.

Having no other choice, Chen Yuyan gritted her teeth, stamped her foot, and said, "I'll cover the rest of the dowry."

Jiang Jingxue had been waiting for him to say those words.

"Chen Zhiqing, you're such a good brother-in-law! Thank you so much!"

"We're all family, it's only right that we help each other out. Don't worry, if you ever need my help in the future, I'll do my best, right, Gu Pingwei?"

While Jiang Jingxue was trying to win Chen Yuyan over, she also nudged Gu Pingwei with her elbow, urging him to make a decision.

Gu Pingwei immediately continued Jiang Jingxue's words.

"That's right, we're family, it's only right that we help and support each other."

After hearing this, Chen Yuyan became somewhat smug again.

The thought that he could use the Gu family's influence to return to the city, and preferably get promoted to a higher official position, made his future look bright.

After dinner.

Jiang Zhizhi originally wanted to go back to her and Yao Guilan's room to sleep, but Chen Yuyan took advantage of the moment and secretly pulled her hand.

"Zhizhi, we're already married, a legally married couple. Shouldn't we be sleeping in the same room?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhizhi thought it made sense.

They are now licensed to work, so they no longer need to work secretly like before.

She smiled shyly and said, "You're so annoying."

"Go back to your room and wait for me. I'll go get a pillow and come find you."

"good."

Chen Yuyan returned to his room.

A short while later, Jiang Zhizhi ran in, clutching a pillow.

As soon as she was brought inside, Chen Yuyan couldn't wait to hug her, his hands restlessly reaching inside her clothes, igniting desire everywhere.

Before long, the two rolled onto the bed and began their nighttime activities.

Chen Yuyan kneaded, pinched, bit, and sucked.

He didn't say he liked Jiang Zhizhi; he was just forced into getting a marriage certificate with her.

He himself felt that he was being taken advantage of.

Since the money has already been spent, why not take advantage of this bargain and enjoy it properly?

Jiang Zhizhi couldn't bear it and let out a soft moan.

"Honey, be gentle~"

"You little slut, you say go easy on me, but you wish I'd use more force, don't you?"

As Chen Yuyan moved, he uttered obscene and lewd words.

"You should be glad you married me. It's better than marrying that cripple Gu Pingwei, right? We don't even know if his thing is up to par. He might not even be able to get it up, and he can't give a woman a happy life at all."

"Zhizhi, don't worry. As long as I can secure this spot to return to the city, with my abilities, I'm sure I'll rise to great heights and become a person of high status, allowing you to live the life of a wealthy lady that everyone envies. At that time, Jiang Jingxue won't even be worthy of carrying your shoes!"

After spending a few days together, Chen Yuyan realized that the two sisters, Jiang Zhizhi and Jiang Jingxue, were not on good terms at all.

Therefore, he was deliberately making empty promises to Jiang Zhizhi in order to make her obey him and fight for his interests.

Jiang Zhizhi was overjoyed by these few words.

She gripped Chen Yuyan's waist tightly.

"Honey, you're so naughty."

She also looked forward to the day when Chen Yuyan would rise to prominence and crush Jiang Jingxue under his feet.

Panpan was catching crickets in the yard when she accidentally ran to the window of Chen Yuyan and heard the noise inside.

She quickly ran to Jiang Jingxue's room.

"Mother!"

Jiang Jingxue was giving Gu Pingwei acupuncture.

"What's wrong, Panpan? You look so flustered, what happened?"

"Mom, it's so scary! Uncle Chen Yuyan and Aunt Jiang Zhizhi are fighting in the room, and they're fighting really hard."

"fight?"

Jiang Jingxue was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, I can still hear Aunt Jiang Zhizhi screaming. It's so awful."

As Panpan spoke, she even imitated the sounds twice in a rather convincing manner.

Jiang Jingxue immediately understood what was going on, and her face instantly turned red.

This Chen Yuyan is truly a beast. Right after dinner, he and Jiang Zhizhi started engaging in adult activities in the room.

They're at least guests at someone else's house, yet they're so thirsty. If Panpan heard this, she'd be corrupted.

Jiang Jingxue quickly made up the small bed next to her, took out a quilt, and let Panpan take off her clothes and lie down.

"Panpan, you'll sleep here tonight, don't go anywhere else."

She didn't want her daughter to see anything inappropriate for children again.

"Mother."

Panpan tentatively asked, "Do you and Dad fight in your room too?"

This time, not only Jiang Jingxue, but even Gu Pingwei's handsome face turned bright red.
