Chapter 58 “Wife, stop looking, is it really that good-looking?” Wei Laicheng’s jealous tone startled Jiang Xixi.
"Hehe, shut up~" Jiang Xixi felt a smiling gaze sweep over her. She felt utterly humiliated by Wei Laicheng, that big idiot.
She doesn't look much better than me, so why does my wife keep staring at her?
Isn't it good to look at him? He's her legal husband, and if she keeps staring at him like that, people will think she's a pervert.
"Miss, I'm sorry. The one who ran out just now is my younger brother. He's a bit mischievous and accidentally bumped into you. I apologize on his behalf."
Xi Shuheng remained as gentlemanly as ever, even bowing slightly to express his apology after he finished speaking.
"It's alright, it's just that we're blocking the way at the door." Jiang Xixi waved her hand, indicating that it was fine.
It wasn't a big deal; she didn't fall or anything. Besides, she urgently needed to improve her relationship with this person.
Perhaps he can help with the Rongcheng Garment Factory issue this time.
...
In a state-run restaurant in Rongcheng City, several people sat together chatting.
Of course, it was mainly Jiang Xixi and Xi Shuheng talking, while Lan Miqian was only focused on eating, and Wei Laicheng was staring at the two of them with a predatory look.
"Brother Xi, you really know a lot!" Wei Laicheng said with a hint of sarcasm. The sense of threat that Xi Shuheng posed to him was not insignificant.
"Haha, I'm probably more interested in this kind of thing in my daily life, and it's also part of my job, so I've learned a bit about it..." Xi Shuheng could hear the hostility in Wei Laicheng's tone.
I found it somewhat amusing.
He was only acting out of politeness; no matter what, Xi Shuheng would never make a move on a married woman.
"Xixi, what you said really touches on a blind spot in my knowledge. I'll go back and look it up, and I'll contact you again when I have more information. What do you think?"
"Okay, then thank you for your help." Jiang Xixi was actually quite embarrassed. The other person hadn't bumped into her on purpose, and she had already treated them to a meal to express her apology.
And yet, without even realizing it, they continue to bother others—it's truly...
But she did have a feeling that the key to resolving Wei Laicheng's situation lay with this person.
After Xi Shuheng left, Wei Laicheng, who was extremely jealous, couldn't hold back any longer.
"Wife, you're smiling so happily at him. You've never smiled like that at me." Wei Laicheng's tone was full of grievance.
Hearing this, Lan Miqian, who was standing nearby, looked at the two of them with great surprise. Then, she stopped eating her food and quickly walked outside to leave the two of them alone.
He thought to himself, "Isn't this guy Wei a little too clingy? We only said a couple of words, is it really necessary?"
Is this what marriage is like? Lan Miqian shivered uncontrollably.
It's terrifying. The thought of having someone watching her every day like a housekeeper makes her feel uncomfortable.
"What's making you laugh so happily?" Jiang Xixi was utterly speechless.
Wei Laicheng is good in every way, except that he's like a celestial scanning machine, always watching you without missing a beat, a bit like a child staring at their favorite toy.
"Wei Laicheng, let's have an open and honest talk today. I, Jiang Xixi, am an adult. I need my own personal space. I married you, not sold myself to you. I have the right to make friends."
My conversation with Xi Shuheng just now was right under your nose. I don't think we crossed any lines, so why are you acting like this? And this isn't the first or second time you've done this. Are you going to ask me every time I say a word to any other man from now on?
Don't you find this tiring?
"Wife, that's not what I meant~" Wei Laicheng tried to explain anxiously, but was interrupted by Jiang Xixi's voice.
"Stop. I know what you're thinking. I know you lack a sense of security for some reason. Digging deeper, it's because you're a bit insecure. I don't really understand why you're insecure. You're so young, yet you're already a junior leader in the transportation team, you own your own house, and your salary is very high. What are you insecure about?"
You're a good person. My decision to marry you was a well-considered one, but your current behavior is making me question my decision. Think about it!
“Wei Laicheng, getting jealous or throwing a little tantrum once in a while can be considered a form of marital fun, but if it's always like this, even if I don't feel it now, there will eventually be a day when I get impatient. Married couples need to provide emotional support to each other…”
After Jiang Xixi finished speaking, she left. On her way back to the guesthouse, she felt a little regretful.
Did I say something too harsh just now? Is Wei Laicheng crying right now?
Probably not. A grown man like me isn't afraid of being laughed at.
Ugh! So annoying. Jiang Xixi rubbed her hair. She wished Wei Laicheng was confident and cheerful, not so insecure like he was now. He was a good person and shouldn't be like this.
I hope my words of insult to him have some effect!
...
"Dad, do you know what happened at our Rongcheng Garment Factory ten years ago?"
At the Xi family dinner table, Xi Shuheng asked his father a question.
Upon hearing this, Mayor Xi put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and glanced at his son.
Why did you even think of asking that?
"No, I was just asking. A friend from Huai'an was ordered to transport a batch of goods here, but he couldn't even get into the garment factory, so he came to me."
"From Huai'an?" Mr. Xi smiled.
"Your friend was just unlucky, or maybe he offended someone. You don't need to ask anymore, it's impossible. There are big problems between the two garment factories."
After speaking, Mr. Xi paused for a moment, then added another sentence.
"If you have a good relationship with that friend, tell him that instead of focusing on Rongcheng, he should look to Huai'an. There's been another document from above about the reform of garment factories, and the Rongcheng Garment Factory is the first to be reformed. The people from Huai'an are probably here to try and get a piece of the pie."
The people from Huai'an sent him here, so it's probably not just to transport goods. I'm reminding him to be careful not to be used as a pawn; the current garment factory manager is not someone to be trifled with…”
Xi Shuheng was stunned. His father never said anything without evidence, so if he could say it, there must be something wrong with it.
For a moment, he couldn't even eat.
He hurriedly stood up from the table and prepared to go outside, but stopped when he saw the dark sky outside.
Why is he in such a hurry?
He kept thinking about this problem until he went into his room.
"Hey, Dad, look at your son, doesn't he seem to be experiencing his first crush? I wonder which girl it is? He usually seems so aloof, I thought he wouldn't be in a hurry."
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, don't think so much. Eat quickly, don't you love shrimp? I've peeled them all for you, eat up."
Xi Shuheng, who was in the room, heard his parents' words and felt that it was absurd.
What are his parents guessing all day? How could he possibly be?
