"If you can't figure it out, do you need someone else to explain it to you? Think about it yourself. If you keep asking others questions, they have the right not to answer."
Just then, a deep male voice came from inside.
Having learned the news, Xiao Chenglin finally arrived at that moment.
Even though he only listened to a few words, he quickly figured out the whole story.
In front of everyone, he pushed Qin Xueyi behind him, while he himself faced Jiang Tian directly.
There were even traces of blood on Xiao Chenglin's face, and it was unknown what he had gone through.
But Jiang Tian showed no fear of him.
"I was thinking, I really wanted to find an answer to these things, but Miss Qin insisted on bothering me and insisted on seeing me. What could I do but see her? I am a polite person."
Xiao Chenglin's eyes held a sinister glint: "Jiang Tian, I've already warned you once: don't use your self-proclaimed identity to swindle and deceive others. The things you're talking about have nothing to do with me or her."
"Your tragedy is a product of the times. You need to overcome it through your own efforts, not blame those who have already realized it. Your behavior is truly pathetic—shifting your problems onto others and expecting them to take responsibility for you?"
Jiang Tian looked at Xiao Chenglin: "I don't care what you think, and I don't care whether you say it's the right era or not. In this era, everyone still has to live for themselves. My way of living for myself is to follow my heart. I believe in what I want to believe in, and I change what I want to change."
"You keep changing the subject. My question was clearly about morality. Does the change of times mean that everyone can cheat? Can everyone fall in love with someone else anytime, anywhere? Even if this love is illusory, does that mean we should abandon responsibility and obligation, abandon basic human morality, and pursue it even at the cost of our lives?"
Xiao Chenglin looked at Jiang Tian.
This woman is indeed quite good at debating.
He had just blurred the key point, but the woman immediately brought it back.
“Go back, I’ll handle her. I’ll talk to her about some things. You’re just making her a punching bag.”
Xiao Chenglin stopped looking at Jiang Tian and turned to Qin Xueyi.
Qin Xueyi's impassioned speech lost its appeal after Jiang Tian exposed her affair with someone else.
Her mind was a complete mess.
Xiao Chenglin's words made her feel as if she had been granted a pardon.
"...Okay, I'll come find you another day."
Qin Xueyi left very soon.
The others looked at each other in bewilderment.
Jiang Tian's words left many people confused.
They felt that what she said made some sense.
But if the old marriage represents a mistake, then it should be corrected. Suddenly, everyone is unsure whether Miss Qin was wrong or not.
After Qin Xueyi left, Xiao Chenglin looked at Jiang Tian and said, "Come with me, I need to have a serious talk with you."
Jiang Tian followed him silently.
The two arrived at Xiao Chenglin's study, which also served as his office.
Why did you provoke Qin Xueyi?
“I didn’t provoke her. She came over to me and asserted her dominance. I thought there was something wrong with what she said, so I argued with her. As you can see, she couldn’t refute me, so she ran away.”
Jiang Tian's tone remained indifferent.
“I put you in the governor’s mansion not so you would go against everyone, but so you could think about your future path as soon as possible. I’m giving you a buffer period, but you still have to move out. Why are you doing these pointless things?”
Xiao Chenglin's face turned ashen.
"What gives you the right to say that about me? People are different, and their thoughts are different too. I also yearn to improve myself. Miss Qin is a highly educated person. I thought that talking to her would be like reading in a book, sparking intellectual discussions. But she couldn't say a word when I asked her a question. What could I do? I wanted to learn from her, but she couldn't withstand my counter-questions."
Xiao Chenglin took a deep breath: "If you dare to upset Qin Xueyi again, I won't need anyone else; I'll have someone take you away from this city and never let you come back."
"Um."
Jiang Tian didn't refute him, but her cold and indifferent "hmm" was enough to show that she was not convinced at all.
"Get out."
Xiao Chenglin stopped talking to her, afraid that he would lose his temper again.
Jiang Tian obediently left.
After she left, Xiao Chenglin immediately called home.
Someone answered the phone very quickly.
"Big brother, I am Xiao Wenyun."
"Give the phone to Dad."
Mr. Xiao quickly came over to take him: "What's wrong?"
"Would it be convenient for you to find some time to take Jiang Tian back? She's staying with me and causing me a lot of problems."
“She is your wife, and a woman should obey her husband after marriage. Where do you expect her to go? I have already told her that if she can't keep your heart, then she can fend for herself. Our family is not to be trifled with, and we will not raise a useless piece of trash. We will not go to pick her up.”
Mr. Xiao hung up the phone quickly.
Xiao Chenglin's anger made him slam his fist on the table.
Despite infuriating others, Jiang Tian still did her usual routine, starting her studies as soon as the time came.
The fact that she angered Qin Xueyi and drove her away made the servants look at her with new respect, and they were less likely to provoke her.
If someone like Qin Xueyi could be driven away by her, then these people would definitely be no match for her.
Jiang Tian lived a peaceful and uneventful life, and Xiao Chenglin ignored her.
Unexpectedly, not long after, Xiao Chenglin sent someone to deliver an invitation to her.
"The warlord said that this banquet is very important and requires some foreign language communication. You must study hard and not embarrass him."
Xiao Chenglin's men relayed his instructions to Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian looked at the exquisite invitation, but instead of asking why she was being invited, she calmly nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass the warlord. I am his wife."
In other people's eyes, she wasn't a wife, but a nuisance.
"Commander, she has accepted the invitation."
Xiao Chenglin hummed in agreement and said nothing more.
The banquet is just a week away, so time is very tight.
Jiang Tian doesn't even have time to study. Recently, she's been scheduled to try on dresses and learn etiquette every day, and even English lessons have been added to her schedule.
Clearly, this banquet will feature distinguished guests who are highly respected.
Many people were very surprised when they learned about Xiao Chenglin's female companion.
No one knows why Xiao Chenglin brought his wife from his hometown to the event.
Everyone knows that women of the old days were considered conservative and inflexible, and might even have bound feet. Such women were not fit for formal occasions, especially banquets. Could they dance? They couldn't even walk steadily.
But Xiao Chenglin did exactly that, and even released the news.
In fact, the banquet was indeed very grand, and all the city's celebrities attended.
This time, many people secretly thought to themselves that they wanted to see the true face of the warlord's wife.
Time flies, and the banquet is fast approaching.
