Xu Wan carefully raised her head and saw a man in a full black suit standing next to Luo Kui.
In the not-too-bright afternoon sunlight, she saw the man's face...
It was Jiang Tingzhou!
Xu Wan was both surprised and delighted, but dared not show it.
Luo Kui looked up at Jiang Tingzhou's face and saw that the man's expression was not joking at all. He gritted his teeth in anger, "Are you all in cahoots? Are you trying to swindle my money?"
“If we were trying to scam money, I would have waited for you to throw that punch before coming over, instead of stopping you in advance.” Jiang Tingzhou’s dark eyes looked at Luo Kui. “In that case, you’d have to choose between going to jail or paying a hefty settlement fee to avoid trouble.”
Luo Kui's face turned ashen.
He hadn't read many books, and knew very little about the law.
No matter how much he protested in his heart, he dared not doubt a single word Jiang Tingzhou said.
"Alright, alright, I guess I'm just unlucky today, damn it."
Luo Kui backed down and tried to leave, cursing under his breath.
He had just unlocked the car door with his key when Jiang Tingzhou spoke again: "Wait a minute, apologize to my wife."
It took Xu Wan half a second to realize that the man's "my wife" referred to her.
Luo Kui immediately flew into a rage, "Damn it, is this never going to end? She's your wife? Don't you even know what your wife has done? My wife has barely worked a day in her life. I'm out there working myself to the bone to earn money, and she just stays home and cooks. Now they're suing me for divorce and want to take a share of my savings!"
"you……"
Xu Wan tried to explain, but Jiang Tingzhou raised his hand to stop her.
After listening calmly to Luo Kui's hysterical outburst, the man said, "Now, hiring a full-time nanny who only looks after children, working six days a week and resting one day, costs at least 12,000 yuan a month. If you have two children, it will cost an additional 50%. Caregivers for the elderly start at 300 yuan a day, and ordinary domestic workers start at 80 yuan an hour. If your wife goes out to do these kinds of jobs, she can earn at least 10,000 yuan a month."
"Damn, how can you calculate it like that!"
"Even someone who earns 100,000 a month might not be able to afford so many nannies. You, who earn 10,000 a month, have enjoyed the benefits of someone who earns 100,000 a month for free for so many years. You have the least right to complain!"
After hearing what Jiang Tingzhou said, Luo Kui was both angry and furious, but he couldn't utter a single word. After a long while, he finally managed to shout out four words: "Nonsense!"
"What nonsense did I say?" Jiang Tingzhou asked.
"You...you..."
Luo Kui's face turned red with frustration, and he couldn't think of any defense.
Jiang Tingzhou raised his arm and placed it on Xu Wan's shoulder, coldly ordering, "Apologize to my wife."
Luo Kui knew he couldn't afford to offend Jiang Tingzhou, and though he was seething with resentment, he dared not utter a word. He could only reluctantly utter three words: "I'm sorry!"
"Speak louder."
"sorry!"
After Luo Kui finished speaking, he angrily ran to his car, stepped on the gas, and drove away.
Once the car was out of sight, Xu Wan quickly slipped out of the man's arms, bowed her head, and thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
"You're welcome, Miss Xu."
Jiang Tingzhou answered with ease.
Xu Wan was slightly stunned.
Seeing the woman's embarrassed and blushing face, Jiang Tingzhou smiled and said, "Does it also feel uncomfortable to hear? Then let's change how we address each other. If you're not used to calling me husband, just call me Jiang Tingzhou for now. Tingzhou is fine too."
"I'll call you Jiang Tingzhou."
Xu Wan chose the one she could shout the most.
“Okay.” Jiang Tingzhou pointed to a car a few meters away. “Where are you going later? I’ve just finished my business and can go home now. I’ll give you a ride.”
