"Thank you!"
Jiang Jingxue was overjoyed and immediately squatted down to fawn over Gu Pingwei by massaging his legs.
The gentle warmth emanating from his legs brought a soothing sensation that made them feel much lighter.
Gu Pingwei squinted, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Unfortunately, this scene appeared quite ambiguous to outsiders, naturally displeasing those with ulterior motives.
Yue Keqi, holding a bowl of millet porridge, had already arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.
She had heard long ago that Gu Pingwei had submitted a report and even asked for a few days of leave for his wedding, wanting to marry Jiang Jingxue.
Yue Keqi felt uneasy but unwilling to give up, which is why she decided to come and test the waters.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw such an eye-catching scene.
In that instant, the jar of vinegar in my heart was overturned, and it churned with sourness.
"What are you doing in the yard under the clear blue sky?"
"Jiang Jingxue, you're a grown woman, aren't you ashamed? You just squat down next to a man and touch his legs, ptooey ptooey ptooey!"
Gu Pingwei and Jiang Jingxue looked up at the same time when they heard the sound. When they saw Yue Keqi, Jiang Jingxue stood up.
"I'm touching my own man's legs and giving him a massage, what business is it of anyone else's? Yue Keqi, aren't you being a bit too nosy?!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Keqi was so angry that she jumped up and down, pointing her right finger at Jiang Jingxue's nose and cursing.
"You shameless woman, who is your man? When did you two get married? I didn't know! You're a grown woman with no shame, you've disgraced the entire family compound!"
Jiang Jingxue glanced at her and responded calmly.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, we're getting married once Pingwei's leg is fully recovered. We'll definitely send you our wedding invitation first, so don't forget to come to our wedding banquet!"
“You…” Yue Keqi’s eyes widened again, clearly unable to believe it, and unwilling to believe it.
She turned around, ran to Gu Pingwei's side, and spoke anxiously.
“Pingwei, did you hear what she said? Look, she’s using your name to flaunt her reputation outside. You told her yourself that you would never marry her, right?”
Gu Pingwei shook his head slightly, his tone very calm.
"Jingxue is right. We'll get married once my leg heals. By the way, what brings you here today?"
Yue Keqi was even more furious. She put the millet porridge on the table, not even bothering to give it to Gu Pingwei. All she wanted to do was drag Jiang Jingxue down with her.
“Pingwei, you’ve been fooled by this woman! And her sister, you have no idea how embarrassing she is, showing off her gold earrings everywhere!”
"She tells everyone how precious and rare those gold earrings are!"
"People outside are talking about you, saying... saying you're trying to be a capitalist tail. What if you get labeled as capitalists?!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Pingwei immediately frowned.
This matter can be considered a big deal or a small deal.
However, if it were to spread, it would inevitably have some impact on oneself.
Moreover, Jiang Jingxue is also to blame.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingxue seemed to have just remembered something and spoke in surprise.
"Gold earrings? Oh right, I remember now! This morning when I was cleaning my room, I found that the gold earrings Mom gave me were missing."
"I was thinking of calling the police at the time, but then I remembered that it was lost in my own home, so I didn't want to cause any more trouble."
"Besides, I never expected this thing would actually fall into someone else's hands. If they insist on dragging it into the capitalist tail and labeling it as capitalist, that would be terrible!"
At this point, Jiang Jingxue seemed a little nervous again.
He was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.
"Oh dear, my sister has an unstable personality. She probably just took the wrong thing. It couldn't have been stolen, could it? These days, if you're caught stealing someone's gold, you'll go to jail."
"If things go wrong, even Pingwei might get implicated. Becoming a family member of a thief—what will become of his future career?!"
"No, I have to go find her right away."
Upon hearing this, Yue Keqi's expression instantly changed.
He slammed his hand on the table and looked up sharply at Jiang Jingxue.
"Jiang Jingxue, are you sure that gold earring is yours?"
Jiang Jingxue chuckled inwardly, but on the surface she still showed some urgency and panic, "Does it even need to be said? It must have been me who lost it! I'm not afraid of losing something from my own family, I'm just worried that Pingwei will be affected."
"Do you think my sister might be doing this on purpose?"
"I have to bring him back right away. Even if I have to beat him up secretly, I can't let anyone find out!"
Yue Keqi was so angry that her teeth itched, and she couldn't help but frown inwardly.
This woman actually dared to steal from her own family and then brazenly flaunt it.
What will Pingwei do if someone really investigates?
Thinking of this, Yue Keqi handed the millet porridge back to Gu Pingwei.
"Brother Pingwei, this is millet porridge that I cooked for you myself. It took two whole hours to cook, and it's so sweet. Try it."
Gu Pingwei placed the millet porridge aside without touching it.
At this moment, Yue Keqi didn't make a fuss. Instead, she turned around and glared fiercely at Jiang Jingxue.
"Jiang Jingxue, you stay here and watch over Pingwei. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Yue Keqi said, then turned and left.
Jiang Jingxue did not expect that Yue Keqi would be so obedient. Not only did she understand her hints, but she also planned to deal with Jiang Zhizhi herself.
This solved a huge problem for me.
It saved me a lot of trouble!
Thinking of this, Jiang Jingxue couldn't help but remind her, "Where are you going?"
"Be careful, don't give anyone a handle against you! My sister has always been arrogant and domineering, so don't get too close to her!"
Yue Keqi turned around and spat out a mouthful of saliva.
"It's all your family's fault. Fine, it's none of your business!"
Yue Keqi stormed off, cursing inwardly, "How dare she harm Brother Pingwei! I'll teach her a lesson!"
Watching the other person leave, Jiang Jingxue smiled and picked up the millet porridge, gesturing it in front of Gu Pingwei.
"Are you hungry? Would you like some porridge?"
Gu Pingwei took the millet porridge and quietly looked at Jiang Jingxue.
Judging from his behavior just now, Gu Pingwei has already figured out Jiang Jingxue's true intentions.
He couldn't help but ask, "Did you say those things on purpose?"
Jiang Jingxue neither admitted nor denied it, but simply sat quietly to the side.
His expression changed slightly.
"Should we tell our family in advance? Let them know beforehand. This matter could be big or small, we can't be careless."
If they are truly labeled with this accusation, it will likely have an impact on the entire Gu family.
Jiang Jingxue didn't want to drag Gu Xinguo and Tang Qiuzhu, who were sincere to her, into trouble because of Jiang Zhizhi.
Gu Pingwei smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Don't worry, Mom is the best at handling these kinds of things. They won't gain any advantage. You don't need to worry about this anymore!"
Jiang Jingxue turned around and looked at the man in front of her.
Wow, is this what it feels like to have someone backing you up? It's actually quite reassuring...
