Ren Jin glanced at Liu Xiaoxiao indifferently. She looked like a greasy lump of white lard, and her whole body was shaking when she stood up. He didn't know how Ye Zurong could stand her.
Faced with Liu Xiaoxiao's fierce threats, he retorted, "Your father is the director of the Meilin County Public Security Bureau, right? Your mother is a Chinese language teacher at the Eighth Primary School in Meilin County, right? Do they all know you've been exploited? Do their colleagues know? Do your relatives and neighbors know? Huh?"
The final "ah" suddenly rose in volume, completely stunning the woman.
Ren Jin glared at her coldly, "You really think everyone in this world is afraid of you? Your dad's the police chief, so he's like the King of Heaven? Then let him come here and mess with me. You don't have the ability, do you? But I can plaster these things all over Meilin County tomorrow, making it impossible for you to stay in your place, believe it or not? And you fought and injured someone but didn't face any legal consequences. What did your dad, the police chief, do? Should I find out all of that too?!"
He slammed his finger on the paper, his words like icy knives: "Here, I'm warning you for the first and last time: if my wife receives any more harassing phone calls or suffers any more trouble, even just once, don't blame me."
Ren Jin was quite surprised when he found out about this. He never expected that Ye Zurong would abandon Gu Yueji and marry such a wife. But no matter what Ye Zurong was like, Ren Jin felt fortunate because if it weren't for his abandonment, he would not have met Gu Yueji, fallen in love with her, and gotten married.
Turning to look at the stunned man, she had been asking him all along how to deal with Liu Xiaoxiao, but he had remained silent. Firstly, he felt there was nothing to say about such matters, and secondly, he didn't want Gu Yueji to pay too much attention to Ye Zurong's affairs.
During his investigation of Ye Zurong, he learned that Gu Yueji and Ye Zurong were each other's first love. Call him a chauvinist or jealous, he just didn't want Gu Yueji to think about Ye Zurong anymore.
Fortunately, Gu Yueji was very well-behaved when she came to see Ye Zurong today. She didn't say a word the whole time, but put her hand on his leg and held his hand tightly. Her body language showed her attachment and trust in him.
Liu Xiaoxiao stared at Ren Jin in disbelief. She had been pampered by her parents since childhood, and no one dared to speak to her like that. After marriage, Ye Zurong and her parents-in-law doted on her even more. No one had ever treated her like Ren Jin. However, she had to admit that Ren Jin was a very charismatic man. His angular face and domineering aura were qualities that Ye Zurong lacked. But she also knew that Ren Jin was not a man that she and her father could tame.
Her father had handled all the things she had done over the years, and no one had ever mentioned them. She didn't know how Ren Jin had found out.
"You're threatening me?!"
"Yes, I'm threatening you. Just remember that."
Ren Jin had already seen that Liu Xiaoxiao had taken his words to heart. He turned to look at Ye Zurong beside him and found that Ye Zurong's hand holding the paper was trembling slightly. He sat there with his head down, not saying a word, like a block of wood.
He pointed to the photo of Liu Xiaoxiao kissing someone else and kindly reminded her, "I suggest you get a paternity test if you don't want to raise someone else's child."
Ye Zurong's inability to accept it reminded Ren Jin of a saying: "Those who do evil will not live."
The rest was up to the couple, so Ren Jin took Gu Yueji's hand and left.
Gu Yueji was in a state of shock the whole time, and even after getting into the car, she was still thinking about the contents of the paper she had just seen.
Ren Jin glanced at her sideways and asked, "Are you thinking about men or money?"
Gu Yueji then came to her senses, "Is everything about Liu Xiaoxiao true?"
"It was all discovered at the hospital and the police station, and it was all fake. It's just that she did all those things in other places, so she thought no one knew."
"I never expected him to find a wife like this." Ye Zurong isn't actually a bad person; ultimately, she's just rather cowardly, unable to shoulder responsibilities, and only wants to run away when things go wrong.
Ren Jin curled his lip in disdain. "You don't need to pity him. His family of four used to live in a 50-square-meter house. After he married this woman, they moved to a 200-square-meter house. He goes out to eat and drink with his father-in-law, the director, all day long. His life is much more comfortable than yours. Why do you need to pity him?"
Come to think of it, it's someone else's life, and it's not her place to lament. Besides, she hasn't solved her own problems yet, and it seems she still needs to discuss the money to take over the garment factory with Ren Jin.
Ren Jin thought she was still fixated on the money. "I've consulted a lawyer. That money was borrowed in your personal name. If you take it to court, you'll need to gather a lot of evidence and go through various legal procedures, which are all very time-consuming and exhausting. Plus, there's his difficult wife. So don't even think about it. There's no point in getting entangled with them."
Gu Yueji asked in surprise, "You've already consulted a lawyer?"
"Like you, you just let it pass by without thinking."
Gu Yueji thought for a moment, "Honey, I have something to tell you."
Ren Jin hadn't expected her to be hiding something from him, and quickly glanced at her, asking, "What is it?"
“I didn’t originally want Ye Zurong’s money, but recently my online store has run into some problems and I need some money.”
Ren Jin was taken aback. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was thinking of seeing if I could raise enough money before I told you, but now that Ye Zurong has no more money, I'm even less likely to be able to raise it."
"How much is missing?"
She held up one hand with five fingers, "500,000, but I want to start a business with Xiao Yao, so it won't cost 500,000."
“Going into business together isn’t that simple, and opening a factory is different from opening an online store. Go back and tell me the details, and then we’ll decide.”
"Okay, husband."
"Next time you need something, can you talk to me first? If that's why you wanted Ye Zurong's money, I won't let you contact him and get into all this trouble."
“He just happened to offer to pay me back,” Gu Yueji said, a little annoyed. “I’ve been bothered for days, and now I have this feeling that I’m not going to get the money back.”
Ren Jin looked at her pouting and annoyed expression. What a little money-grubber! He playfully pinched her lips and said, "Just think of this money as buying something super cheap, and you'll feel better."
Gu Yueji asked, puzzled, "What super deal?"
Ren Jin pointed to himself, "Me? If you hadn't been working so hard to pay off your loans and eating takeout all the time, you wouldn't have met me. If you hadn't met me, you wouldn't have such a good husband. So, didn't you get your money's worth?"
Gu Yueji saw that he seemed to think he was right, and even gave her a smug smile.
With a soft laugh, she gently rested her head on his shoulder, and all the gloom vanished.
Yes, if she hadn't met him, what kind of life would she be living now? She definitely wouldn't be as happy as she is now.
