Chapter 73 A Mere Rotten Cucumber
Seeing that Xie Jinghuai's attention was no longer on her, Lin Zhixin, who had been speaking fluently, suddenly stopped talking and got stuck.
"Ah Huai, you really know how to manage your wife. She's shopping for men's clothes right now, picking out clothes for you. She's being so careful with her selection—she's practically worn out from looking through all the pages."
Shen Zhantang's voice rose mischievously at the end, "How did you tame it? Teach me, bro?"
Is Jiang Shiyuan picking out clothes for him?
Xie Jinghuai's Adam's apple bobbed as it barely passed the crisp white shirt collar, causing him to lean forward involuntarily.
"Is she alone?" he asked in a low, hoarse voice.
"What, you still don't believe me?"
Shen Zhantang clicked his tongue. "I saw you two arguing quite a bit that day, and I thought this Miss Jiang was a person with a lot of backbone, daring to stand up to you. Now it seems that she's just a timid simp."
She was afraid of offending you, so she rushed out to pick out a gift for you. She was trying every possible way to please you and solidify her position as Mrs. Xie.
Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes were dark and deep; he didn't hear a single word Lin Zhixin said afterward.
He paused for a few seconds, his thin lips curling into a cold, disdainful expression:
"Do I lack a piece of clothing from her? Instead of wasting time on such useless things, I should improve my own abilities and make myself worthy of Mrs. Xie's status."
"Sigh, you only need one capable woman by your side, Zhixin."
Shen Zhantang made no attempt to hide his contempt for Jiang Shiyuan, "To put it bluntly, Jiang Shiyuan is only there to produce offspring for your Xie family. What other abilities does she need? As long as she can have children, that's enough!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Jinghuai frowned deeply, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
How he treats Jiang Shiyuan is a matter between the couple. No one else, not even his best friend Shen Zhantang, has the right to judge Jiang Shiyuan.
But he forgot.
It was because he first treated his wife with contempt and disdain that others thought Jiang Shiyuan was a despicable person, someone that even a passing cat or dog could spit on and stomp on.
Suddenly, Shen Zhantang exclaimed, "Holy crap! Oh no! Ah Huai, high-energy warning!"
Xie Jinghuai, agitated and irritable, retorted, "What strange thing are you doing now?"
"Jiang Shiyuan... came with a guy! So she wasn't picking out clothes for you, she was picking them out for him! Isn't that just ridiculous?!"
Shen Zhantang stared in astonishment as Jiang Shiyuan stood before Ye Yu. Their eyes met, and Jiang Shiyuan, like a tender wife, straightened the collar of his black trench coat. "Why does this man look so familiar..."
Holy crap! Isn't he that gigolo who was with your wife at the bar last time?!
"Ye Yu?" Xie Jingfeng's eyes darkened, and he spoke each word with gritted teeth.
Sitting next to him, Lin Zhixin clearly heard the name and knew that his phone call could only be related to Jiang Shiyuan.
She pursed her red lips, feeling stifled.
To present her best self at today's high-level meeting, she stayed up late for more than half a month preparing, learning about the product development progress, memorizing data, taking notes... all of this was to gain Xie Jinghuai's approval and praise.
As a result, Xie Jinghuai talked about Jiang Shiyuan with others right in front of her!
Having been pampered since childhood, she couldn't bear such neglect, yet she could only pretend to be deaf and dumb!
"Idiot, that grandson is grinning like an idiot with his teeth showing!"
As luck would have it, Shen Zhantang broadcast the situation live to him, saying, "He's laughing like he's never worn clothes before!"
With a loud bang—!
Xie Jinghuai tightened his jawline, slammed his large hand on the table, and abruptly stood up!
The air froze, and everyone fell silent.
That's all for today, meeting adjourned!
As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored everyone and strode away from the conference room.
The executives looked at Lin Zhixin with difficulty, "Director Lin, what's wrong with President Xie...?"
Lin Zhixin composed herself and gently smiled, "President Xie has been too tired lately and didn't sleep well last night. It's alright, let's finish the meeting."
Everyone was enlightened.
Last night, Director Lin definitely slept with President Xie.
Otherwise, how could she possibly know about such a private matter as Mr. Xie not sleeping well?
...
In the end, Jiang Shiyuan bought a similar black trench coat.
Although it can't compare to Fu Chenzhou's, it's still at the top level among ordinary people.
To thank Ye Yu for helping her try on clothes, she picked out an expensive suit in the store and gave it to him on the spot.
Ye Yu originally wanted to pay for it himself, not wanting Jiang Shiyuan to spend the money, but she swiped her card first.
At that moment, he felt that what the POS machine was spewing out was not receipts, but bubbles of happiness.
"Oh my, ma'am, you're so good to your boyfriend!"
The waiter, beaming from ear to ear, presented the large bill, convinced they were a couple. "Sir, look how much your girlfriend dotes on you! You must treat her well for the rest of your life!"
Ye Yu, tall and slender, stood quietly behind Jiang Shiyuan, smiling softly and gently.
I will.
Jiang Shiyuan was too lazy to clarify, so she just smiled helplessly and walked out of the store with Ye Yu.
"Have you driven yet?" Ye Yu gentlemanly took the bag from her hand and carried it for her.
"Not open."
"Where to next? I'll take you."
Jiang Shiyuan smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, senior brother."
The two had only taken a few steps when they were shocked to see—
Shen Zhantang, sporting a striking platinum blonde hairstyle, casually walked towards them with one hand in his pocket, blocking their path.
Ye Yu's eyes darkened, and alarm bells rang in his mind.
This eldest son of the Shen family is a notorious playboy and womanizer in Beijing's social circles, with an extremely bad reputation. It's said that he has no sensibilities towards any woman other than his own children.
Such a proper CEO, yet he dresses like a boy band member every day.
This clearly shows how spoiled the Shen family was of him.
"Miss Jiang, what a coincidence."
Shen Zhantang looked Jiang Shiyuan up and down, then curled his lips in a playful smile. "If I had known you were bringing your friends shopping here, I would have told you in advance. Even if I can't do anything important, I can still give you a few vouchers. Every little bit helps."
"Mr. Shen, is there something you need?" Ye Yu asked, his face ashen. He stepped forward, as if to protect Jiang Shiyuan.
Shen Zhantang's lips still curved into a smile, but there was no trace of amusement in his eyes:
"Miss Jiang, do you not have a mouth or something? Do you have any right to speak here?"
Ye Yu's eyes reddened with anger, and his fists hardened.
Just as he was about to explode, Jiang Shiyuan spoke coldly:
"Your pre-voice is too long. Just say what you want to say. We're in a hurry."
Shen Zhantang narrowed his eyes, his tongue tracing across his teeth.
His friend Ah Huai was cheated on by this woman, and he had to help his good brother expose this despicable couple on the spot!
"Miss Jiang, I'm really puzzled. You're already a lion's woman, how can you still be interested in a stray dog?"
Shen Zhantang chuckled maliciously, "With such an outstanding man like A-Huai by your side, you still want to go out and have affairs. Miss Jiang, aren't you being a bit too unethical, eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot?"
Actually, he has a very malicious tongue.
He was being exceptionally lenient with his words out of consideration for Xie Jinghuai.
"Xie Jinghuai, it's just a rotten cucumber, why do you all treat it like a treasure? Are you blind, or have you never seen a good person before?"
Jiang Shiyuan scoffed lightly, her beautiful eyes turning cold. "Since you admire him so much, then go with him and sleep between him and Lin Zhixin."
