Shen Mingzhi thought to herself, "I didn't believe your nonsense!"

"Don't disturb my sleep," she murmured.

"Okay, I'll get up in a bit and have Aunt Wang make you some fish soup to nourish you," Jiang Shaozhen said.

Shen Mingzhi was momentarily confused, then raised her hand and punched him.

Fish soup, he did it on purpose, didn't he!

He was so serious before the wedding, but he changed in less than two days.

Jiang Shaozhen got out of bed with a smile.

He arrived at the construction site early and spread out the blueprints for engineer Ye Jianhua to see. He looked very confident and said, "Look at these blueprints, aren't they much better than your previous designs?"

Ye Jianhua took it out and examined it carefully. He couldn't help but say, "It is indeed more modern. So this is what the surrounding facilities are like! It seems we can apply for more loans."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shaozhen smiled and said, "This was my wife's idea. She's incredibly smart; not only is she good at business, but she can also draw."

"Alright, I can praise your wife a hundred times a day without getting tired of it. Get ready, let's go to the county party secretary to apply for a loan. Once the loan is in, we'll start construction immediately!" Ye Jianhua couldn't help but chuckle. He knew about the conflict between the Jiang and Song families, and now he just wanted to get the loan as soon as possible so that the project could be completed quickly.

To avoid the Song family finding out about it and starting to obstruct them again.

Before they even left the construction site, another foreman rushed over and said, "The village renovation project has been assigned to another construction team by the Song family!"

"The news reached the Song family's ears so quickly?" Ye Jianhua's face immediately darkened.

Jiang Shaozhen frowned and looked at Ye Jianhua, saying, "We can apply. As long as we provide the best solution and the county committee helps us submit it to the military, I believe the military leaders will choose us!"

“Our proposal is indeed good. I’ll write it. You go and talk to the county committee and ask them to do us a favor.” After saying that, Ye Jianhua turned and walked into the tin shack.

Because of the interference from the Song family, Jiang Shaozhen spent the whole morning running around doing errands.

He didn't return to the construction site until noon.

As soon as they arrived at the tin shack, they saw Song Wanyin sitting inside, drinking cold water.

As soon as Jiang Shaochen entered, Song Wanyin noticed that he was different from before.

She couldn't quite describe how she felt, but... considering that he and Shen Mingzhi had already held a wedding banquet, they had probably already slept together.

Even though he said such hurtful things on the day of the wedding banquet, she still harbored fantasies about him.

But seeing a different side of him, Song Wanyin suddenly realized she had been wrong... She looked at him with red eyes, "Have you slept with her already?"

Upon hearing her words, Ye Jianhua immediately stood up.

How did the topic suddenly become so explosive?

"I'll go out for a bit, you guys chat." He left in a hurry.

Jiang Shaozhen walked to his seat and sat down, his face cold. "Are you out of your mind? That's my wife. Of course I'll sleep with her."

"Jiang Shao Chen, I've liked you since I was little—"

"You didn't come here today to confess your feelings. Besides, with the Jiang and Song families in such a mess, is there any point in us being together?" Jiang Shaozhen interrupted her impatiently, his tone full of disgust.

Song Wanyin trembled all over, tears welling up in her eyes. "I originally wanted to come and persuade you, but it seems I don't need to... This time, your project has already been given to another construction team by my father. Let me tell you, your Jiang family has offended our Song family. From now on, every project you have will be given to another construction team by the Song family. You won't have a single project! You still want to use the project to create political achievements for those people in the county committee and get them to protect you? No way!"

Jiang Shao Chen stared at her coldly, and after a while, he sneered, "Is that so?"

“If you divorce Shen Mingzhi and don’t want her two children, we can still discuss it. It’s okay if you sleep with her; I can forgive you this once.”

"Song Wanyin, this is the first time I've realized you're so shameless. Is another man really that good?" Jiang Shaochen asked her indifferently.

"Jiang Shao Chen, just tell me if you agree or not!" Song Wan Yin couldn't help but cry, "This is your last chance..."

She couldn't continue speaking towards the end.

She trembled uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face. "Yes, I was shameless because I liked you. Even knowing that you were married to her and had two children, I still had hope for you... I would be willing to let you degenerate into a construction worker here. Why can't you give me a chance? Why should Shen Mingzhi get the better deal!"

"I don't like you, please leave!" Jiang Shao Chen didn't want to hear her confession at all.

What does it matter to me if she likes me?

This is clearly moral blackmail!

Song Wanyin stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and cried, "Can't I even make you feel a little bit moved? We've been together since we were little, haven't you ever liked me even a little bit?!"

"If I had one, I would have married you. Why would I keep you waiting?" Jiang Shao Chen shook off her hand, his eyes cold and sharp. "Get out of here right now!"

The Song family treats the Jiang family this way and makes things difficult for him at every turn. He's just asking for trouble by being with her!

"You'll regret this!" Song Wanyin said, wiping away her tears.

"The Song family can't stay so smug forever. We'll see!" Jiang Shaozhen said with disgust, picked up the safety helmet on the table, put it on, and left.

She won't leave; she'll leave on her own!

Song Wanyin was humiliated again. After leaving the tin shack, she walked to her bicycle with red eyes, stood there for a while, and then pushed the bicycle away.

She had already given Jiang Shaozhen a chance.

She also knew that this new rural reconstruction project was very important to her; it could be said to be a turnaround project for their construction team.

But she wouldn't let him have his way.

Jiang Shao Chen was arrogant from a young age, and she had always wanted to tame him.

She refused to believe that Jiang Shaozhen could remain arrogant forever, as projects were repeatedly snatched away. She thought that once he could no longer survive and the Jiang family had completely fallen into decline, he would regret it!

She'll make Jiang Shaozhen kneel before her and apologize!

After she left, Ye Jianhua found Jiang Shaozhen, who was carrying bricks. "Did she come here to threaten you?"

"Yes, I went to the county committee and spoke to them. Although they were very optimistic, their attitude seemed to suggest they didn't want to help us get a loan," Jiang Shaozhen said.

"Didn't you tell him about our new plan?!" Ye Jianhua was anxious. He valued this project highly, and if another construction team were to do it, they might not be able to do it as well.

“I don’t really trust those people, so I didn’t say anything. Think about it, besides the two of us, the only other people who know about our project are the county committee. The fact that the Song family found out so quickly means there must be someone from the Song family involved,” Jiang Shaozhen said in a deep voice.

He placed a brick on the cart, his deep-set eyes conveying a sense of unfathomable depth.
