Gu Yun: "...!!" Brother Ting is awesome!

However, Gu Yun could tell that Fu Ting's eyes seemed to sparkle when he mentioned Ruan Jiaojiao.

He used to take care of Ruan Jiaojiao, but that was out of a sense of responsibility as a husband. Now, Fu Ting's feelings for Ruan Jiaojiao are clearly different—even if they are not husband and wife, Fu Ting will do everything in his power to protect Ruan Jiaojiao and keep her by his side.

Is this the legendary love?

Gu Yun was so engrossed in her thoughts that she accidentally tripped and fell flat on her face.

He was in so much pain he wanted to cry. He was about to ask his brother Ting to help him up when he looked up and saw that his brother Ting had already gone to find his wife and didn't even bother to look at him.

Gu Yun: "..." Waaaaah, Brother Ting, women are like clothes, brothers are like limbs! Clothes can be changed! But limbs can't be broken, you know that?!

Gu Yun had no choice but to endure the pain and get up to chase after his heartless brother Ting.

Even more distressed than him was Ruan Xiaodie.

This wasn't the first time she had secretly tried to sow discord between Ruan Jiaojiao and Fu Ting.

However, in the past, when she secretly passed messages to Gu Yun and asked him to relay them to her, Gu Yun was on her side, so he wouldn't expose her.

But now, Gu Yun is on Ruan Jiaojiao's side, and he does everything on Ruan Jiaojiao's behalf!

Ruan Xiaodie immediately felt that Ruan Jiaojiao was really despicable. She already had Fu Ting, yet she still shamelessly tried to seduce his brother. She was such a little slut!

Ruan Xiaodie got up in anger, praying in her heart that the idiot Ruan Jiaojiao would take the bait. Once Huo Yunshu had tricked her, she would team up with Huo Yunshu to swindle all of Ruan Jiaojiao's family's property!

Ruan Xiaodie didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did; in fact, she thought it was the right thing to do—Ruan Jiaojiao only had one daughter, and all that property would eventually belong to that rough man Fu Ting. Humph, could Fu Ting have made as much contribution to society as the educated youth Huo Yunshu?

Everyone looks out for themselves; she's simply allocating the best social resources to the right people, which is in line with the times.

But now, many people's gaze towards her has changed, and they are whispering bad things about her and calling her a troublemaker.

Ruan Xiaodie was furious. She covered her ears and ran away from the place, vowing never to "tip off" Gu Yun and Fu Ting again.

What do these people know? Ha, no one understands her good intentions. No wonder they can only be farmers toiling in the fields their whole lives!

Serves you right!

Meanwhile, Fu Ting returned home.

The rough-looking man ran very fast, his bronze skin glistening with sweat.

Super sexy.

Ruan Jiaojiao swallowed hard as she watched.

Seeing Huo Yunshu blocking his doorway, Fu Ting went up to kick him away, but the smell of urine deterred him. So Fu Ting took a stick and poked Huo Yunshu in the waist, trying to make him leave.

Huo Yunshu: "!!!" Holy crap, that hurts so much!

His kidneys were already fragile, and when Fu Ting poked them like that, he instantly felt like he was about to die.

"Fu Ting! You brute!"

“I’m not as good as you, you scoundrel.” Fu Ting walked over and put his arm around Ruan Jiaojiao’s waist to assert his ownership. “Huo Yunshu, you’re supposed to be an educated youth, yet you’re harassing an innocent woman and even coming to her door. If the higher-ups find out, what crime do you think they’ll charge you with?”

Huo Yunshu: "..."

However, Fu Ting was just bluffing him and wouldn't actually tell the higher-ups, after all... his daughter had gone even further when she teased Huo Yunshu before.

However, Fu Ting's behavior and reaction surprised Ruan Jiaojiao quite a bit.
