Thinking of this, he felt even more disdain for Jiang Xiaoci's behavior. However, in order to be able to take revenge on her in the future, and for the sake of his own reputation, he had to humble himself, swallow his anger, pretend to be good-tempered, and act affectionate towards Jiang Xiaoci.
"It's okay, Xiaoci. I know you found it hard to accept my sudden proposal to you last night. We have a long way to go, and you'll definitely realize in the future that I'm sincere to you. You may not accept me now, but you must accept this basket of cakes that I personally hand-delivered to you."
He forced a flattering smile on his face and spoke with sincerity, and was about to stuff the basket into Jiang Xiaoci's hands.
Jiang Xiaoci simply turned sideways and dodged without saying anything. The wife of Liu Erqi, who lived next door, went out to buy vegetables with a basket. When she saw this, her eyes rolled around, and she laughed strangely, looking at them constantly.
Her voice was high-pitched and loud: "Oh my, daughter of the old Jiang family, where did this man come from? He came to see you so early in the morning."
Then she thought about how she had just gone out for a walk with a man last night, and early the next morning, he came to her house with eager eyes to deliver something. Although she couldn't tell, she didn't know whether the man she saw early in the morning was the same one she saw last night.
But even from a distance, she could smell the aroma of fresh pastries and dates, which made her feel jealous and greedy, and she felt very uncomfortable.
She secretly hated the fact that her daughter had no man to show her affection, otherwise she would have had something to eat.
Liu Erqi's wife was a big mouth, so Jiang Xiaoci just politely called her "Aunt Liu."
Then, too lazy to pretend with Lu Yaozu, he just said, "I don't want the stuff, and don't come here again. Go away."
Just as he was about to close the door, Lu Yaozu stopped him. He had made up his mind to take Jiang Xiaoci down, so he wasn't angry. He just continued to coax her in a gentle voice, "Xiaoci, I don't mean anything else. Don't be so cold to me. We..."
When Jiang Xiaoci heard the word "we", he felt nauseous.
Who was "us" to him? She must have been blind in her previous life to marry Lu Yaozu, a scumbag. In this life, she no longer wanted to have anything to do with him.
She picked up the broom beside her and shouted angrily: "Hurry up, if you don't hurry up, I will hit you with the broom."
Lu Yaozu was so shocked that his grip loosened, and he subconsciously took a few steps back. Jiang Xiaoci's face was filled with disgust, hatred and resentment, and her expression was complicated. Without hesitation, she closed the door and locked Lu Yaozu outside.
Liu Erqi's wife, who was watching the fun from the side, looked at the closed door in surprise, then looked at the dusty Lu Yaozu. Hey, this young man is dressed up and looks quite energetic. You can tell at a glance that he is a rich man.
Then he went up to her and said, "Oh my, what's wrong with this old Jiang's daughter? Did she take the wrong medicine? She's so rude. Don't be angry, young man. Their daughter doesn't know what's good for her. My daughter is the kindest person."
As she spoke, she stared at Lu Yaozu carrying the cakes with envy.
Lu Yaozu's face darkened as he glanced at the inexplicably enthusiastic and suddenly sarcastic woman, and his gaze fell on the closed door of the Jiang family courtyard.
There was something wrong with Jiang Xiaoci. He hadn't thought much about it before, but now he felt that Jiang Xiaoci's attitude towards him was more than just wrong. It was simply very strange, as if she clearly hated him.
But he remembered clearly that he had never offended her, and even before the proposal of marriage, there was no interaction between them.
Besides, he thought that he had good conditions in all aspects, including his family background and appearance, and she shouldn't treat him like this.
Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Erqi's wife had already hoarsely called out her daughter.
