Liu Mei spoke while carefully observing the expression on Xiang Shunqiang's face.

"What did you say? Xiang Baiwei is not her biological daughter?" This was the first time Xiang Shunqiang had heard this statement. "Is it true? Her parents love her so much. If she wasn't their biological daughter, how could they treat her so well?"

Liu Mei could tell from Xiang Shunqiang's expression that he was not lying.

It seems that Xiang Shunqiang really doesn't know about this.

Not knowing is better and more conducive to the implementation of your own plans.

"It seems you don't know. I'll go ask someone else." Liu Mei pretended to leave, turned around, and before she took a step, she turned back again, "If you had known a long time ago, you could have cultivated feelings for her earlier. Xiang Baiwei is so beautiful and looks like a good childbearing girl. Why didn't you marry her earlier?"

Xiang Shunqiang's face changed immediately when he heard this. No matter how bad he was, he knew that Xiang Baiwei should call him cousin.

If he had any feelings for my cousin, wouldn't he be worse than an animal?

Liu Mei quickly saw his inner thoughts from his face: "What a pity, such a good daughter-in-law was missed in vain. Xiang Baiwei is not from your old Xiang family, she can be betrothed to someone in your old Xiang family as a daughter-in-law."

She said it calmly, but her words were like thunder when they entered Xiang Shunqiang's mind.

While he was thinking, Liu Mei quickly took a few steps back, then found a hidden place and secretly observed Xiang Shunqiang's reaction.

Under the tree, Xiang Shunqiang stood there for a long time. His face was first confused, then struggling, and finally, as if he had made some decision, he looked ruthless.

Seeing this, Liu Mei curled the corners of her mouth in satisfaction. It seemed that her plan had a chance of success.

…

The weather was getting warmer, and Xiang Baiwei obtained a bag of tomato and two bags of cucumber seeds from the space. She decided to open a small vegetable plot at the doorstep of her house and plant tomatoes and cucumbers to eat later.

While she was busy, Xiang Shunqiang showed up uninvited: "Bai Wei, are you working? What are you doing?"

"Oh, Brother Shunqiang, where are you from?"

Xiang Baiwei saw that it was him, stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"I came from the east. What are you doing?" Xiang Shunqiang walked closer and closer. When he reached the edge of the ground, he looked at Xiang Baiwei two steps away and stopped with restraint.

Xiang Baiwei is a married woman, so she has to be careful and not do anything too obvious.

"I want to grow some vegetables so they can be eaten later."

Xiang Baiwei laughed, feeling a little unsure. Why did Xiang Shunqiang suddenly appear in front of her when he was so strange?

This is unusual, there must be something strange.

After Xiang Baiwei finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued to work. She thought that if she ignored Xiang Shunqiang's words, Xiang Shunqiang would probably leave soon in frustration.

At this moment, a light breeze blew, carrying with it a faint fragrance from Baiwei's body.

Xiang Shunqiang took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a bit of obsession: "I seem to smell the scent of gardenia? At this time of year, gardenias don't seem to be in bloom yet, right?"

Xiang Baiwei liked the shampoo that Jiang Sui bought very much. She used it on the same day and then every few days.

The gardenia scent of this shampoo is very long-lasting. Xiang Baiwei had just washed her hair yesterday, and you could smell the gardenia scent if you got a little closer to her.

Xiang Baiwei looked up at Xiang Shunqiang for some reason, then moved aside without leaving a trace.

She thought she did it secretly, but Xiang Shunqiang saw everything she did.

Haha, it’s quite strong.

But the scent of gardenia is really alluring. She already has a man, but she still makes herself smell so good. It's really ostentatious.

Xiang Shunqiang couldn't help but look at Xiang Baiwei. Xiang Baiwei lowered her head and worked, and didn't notice how disgusting Xiang Shunqiang's eyes were.

At this moment, Jiang Sui appeared on a path in the distance riding a bicycle.

He saw Xiang Shunqiang's lustful eyes from afar.

Jiang Sui was filled with anger and pedaled quickly. In the blink of an eye, he was next to Xiang Shunqiang.

He deliberately braked when he got close to her, and Xiang Shunqiang frightened him so much that he fell to the ground: "Oh my god, who is this?"

Xiang Baiwei looked up when she heard the noise and found that it was Jiang Sui. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He's back!"

Jiang Sui nodded: "You're back, isn't this Shunqiang? What's wrong? What do you want to talk to my boyfriend about?"

"Nothing," Xiang Shunqiang was a little afraid of him, but he didn't dare to blame him for scaring him by riding his bike. "I was just passing by here, and I saw your wife, so I came over to say a few words."

After Xiang Shunqiang finished speaking, he patted his butt and ran away.

Jiang Sui and Xiang Baiwei stared at Xiang Shunqiang's back, and bad guesses arose in their minds.

Two minutes later, Jiang Sui turned back, observed Xiang Baiwei's expression, and said tentatively: "Xiang Shunqiang is not a good person. Although he is your cousin, you should stay away from him."

"I know, but I had brothers and sisters in the past, and Xiang Shunqiang knew how powerful they were, so they rarely stayed so close to me. Today is very unusual."

It was so strange, as if someone had instigated him to come to me on purpose.

After Xiang Baiwei finished speaking, she suspected that Xiang Shunqiang was instigated by Liu Mei to do this today.

Liu Mei's character is not very good. Although she cannot put the blame on others without any evidence, no one else can do such a thing except her.

Jiang Sui patted the handlebars twice: "I will turn around and stare at Xiang Shunqiang. Stay away from him in the future. If you go out, try not to go alone. As long as I'm at home, call me."

"Not really? You seem to be exaggerating a bit." Xiang Baiwei shook her head and smiled, "Xiang Shunqiang is a well-known scoundrel. He has been unruly for a long time. I just said it casually. Don't take it seriously."

"No, I won't allow any accidents to happen here." Jiang Sui shook his head slowly and said in a deep voice, "I will keep an eye on Xiang Shunqiang. Don't be afraid. Before you got married, your brothers protected you. Now I will protect you."

Jiang Sui spoke seriously, and Xiang Baiwei felt heartwarmed.

Perhaps he has let go of all the obsessions from his previous life. Now when Jiang Sui occasionally says something like this, Xiang Baiwei would be very moved.

If you are not destined to be together as a couple, then so be it. It’s good to be friends. At least now the two of them are in harmony with each other, which is much better than the bad atmosphere in the previous life.

After Xiang Shunqiang left Xiang Baiwei's house, he ran to the back of a house and hid secretly.
