Chapter 75 Playing Hard to Get



"It's progressing very quickly, I'll definitely go," Tao Ying said cheerfully.

Of course I'll go. Jiang Jiang's wedding isn't something anyone can just attend.

That's a hub for connections; you'd be a fool not to go.

"Want me to introduce you to a military officer?" Jiang Jiang raised an eyebrow.

"Please leave the officer alone, my son is listening right here, I'm not talking to you anymore," Tao Ying said with a smile, seeing that Wang Baomin's ear was practically pressed against the phone.

"This is so boring. I'll make arrangements for you when you come to my place." Jiang Jiang sighed.

After hanging up the phone, Tao Ying paid the phone bill and saw Wang Baomin looking at her with a conflicted expression.

"Speak your mind," Tao Ying said, turning to walk away.

The elderly couple shouldn't be alone in the shop for too long.

"Mom, what kind of friends have you made?" Wang Baomin asked nervously.

"It's an adult matter, kids shouldn't pry into it." Tao Ying glanced at Wang Baomin.

"Mom~"

"How disgusting! What's with this big young man acting all coquettish?" Tao Ying said disdainfully.

Wang Baomin “…”

"Mom." Wang Baomin was about to chase after her when he saw Zhao Shuangfeng, heavily pregnant, looking at Tao Ying with tears streaming down her face.

Wang Baomin instinctively stepped in front of Tao Ying.

Tao Ying pulled Wang Baomin along the other side.

"Mom!" Zhao Shuangfeng immediately knelt on the ground.

"Trying to use moral blackmail on me won't work. Tomorrow, whatever rumors I hear, I'll go to your workplace and have a chat with your boss." Tao Ying said and left.

Zhao Shuangfeng stared at Tao Ying's retreating figure, her eyes seeming to pierce through him.

Zhao Shuangfeng had heard that her mother-in-law's shop had been doing very well for the past two months.

So jealous that she even had a miscarriage.

This was actually Ding Xianghua's idea for Zhao Shuangfeng; who would have thought that this old woman would be so stubborn and unyielding?

Zhao Shuangfeng stood up angrily, but dared not confront Tao Ying head-on.

If Tao Ying really goes to her workplace, it will be troublesome for me and Wang Baojun.

Zhao Shuangfeng felt more and more wronged. What kind of mother-in-law doesn't care about her son at all?

"Mom, aren't you afraid she'll really keep kneeling there?" Wang Baomin asked cautiously.

I really feel unlucky. My sister-in-law is so disgusting, and I can't believe my mother could be so heartless.

"So what if you kneel? It's your workplace anyway," Tao Ying said nonchalantly.

Wang Baomin “…”

"Mom, aren't you afraid she'll kneel in front of our shop?" Wang Baomin asked, still unwilling to give up.

The eldest sister-in-law's expression clearly indicated that she knew about her family opening a shop.

"So what if I kneel? I've never heard of kneeling to grandpa, grandma, or mom being against the law." Tao Ying was really annoyed.

Wang Baojun and his wife are as annoying as flies that you can't kill.

"she…"

"Wang Baomin, if you keep dawdling, don't bother coming home for dinner today." Tang Ying was too lazy to pay any attention to Wang Baomin.

Wang Baomin immediately shut up after hearing that.

Xia Wenjing was very angry after hanging up the phone.

But there's nowhere to vent.

After hesitating for a long time, he called home and heard that Jiang Jiang hadn't visited his home for two months, which made him even more restless.

So he dialed Zhou Yajuan's number.

"Brother, is it about sending money to Sister Tao? If it's inconvenient for you, I can send it myself." Zhou Yajuan thought that her brother-in-law was embarrassed to send money to a man.

“I’ve already transferred the money. I wanted to ask you about Jiang Jiang. Has she contacted you recently? Mom said she hasn’t been to our house for two months, and I was wondering if something might have happened to her,” Xia Wenjing said somewhat awkwardly.

"Huh? Brother, why don't you just ask Jiang Jiang? She'll definitely be happy to receive your call. I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to talk to Jiang Jiang on the phone." Zhou Yajuan was a little taken aback.

Then it seems that perhaps her brother-in-law has figured things out and wants to accept Jiang Jiang.

In Zhou Yajuan's opinion, Xia Wenjing was mentally ill. Such a beautiful young woman had been pursuing him for so many years, and he was still dragging his feet. He must be crazy.

Jiang Jiang is also blind; her brother-in-law has a whole host of bad habits.

Pride, arrogance, and unrealistic expectations.

However, since they were all family, Zhou Yajuan didn't say anything.

Moreover, Zhou Yajuan is genuinely busy; she can barely take care of Xia Ke, let alone Xia Wenjing.

"I was just afraid Jiang Jiang would misunderstand. Don't think I gave her any chances," Xia Wenjing said somewhat awkwardly.

“If you’re afraid of misunderstandings, then you shouldn’t contact Jiang Jiang anymore, nor should you let anyone in our family contact Jiang Jiang. The same applies to what happened with Sister Tao last time.” Zhou Yajuan couldn’t help but say.

Before she could even look for help herself, her brother-in-law had already called Jiang Jiang and asked her to come over herself.

People came over, but he didn't talk to them, and acted like an elder.

"I did that all for Coco." Xia Wenjing was a little unhappy.

"Xia Ke is so immature," Zhou Yajuan said, sounding rather unhappy.

"Yajuan, can you change your temper? What kind of attitude is this?" Xia Wenjing said with dissatisfaction.

Zhou Yajuan threw the phone down immediately, a habit she's had to develop.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Xia Ke walked in from outside and saw Zhou Yajuan angrily pointing at the phone, so she couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, I just want to tell you not to go to your uncle's place anymore, and to have less contact with your uncle's children, and to go to the old house less often." Zhou Yajuan suppressed her rising anger.

"Mom, I'm on winter break. Can I go visit Aunt Tao?" Xia Ke asked softly, grabbing Zhou Yajuan's arm.

“Okay, but you have to call your Aunt Tao beforehand. You can only go if she agrees.” Zhou Yajuan did not object.

"Mom, you're the best." Xia Ke immediately hugged Zhou Yajuan's arm happily.

Upon hearing the busy signal, Xia Wenjing was speechless.

"Shrew! Shrew!" Xia Wenjing shouted angrily twice.

After calming down for five minutes, I finally picked up the phone and dialed Jiang Jiang's number.

"Hello, who is this?" Jiang Jiang answered the phone.

"It's me!" Xia Wenjing regretted dialing as soon as he accepted the call.

He wondered what would happen if Jiang Jiang started to pester him.

"Who are you? Don't you have a name?" Jiang Jiang asked impatiently.

I honestly didn't recognize the voice; I just thought the person was quite old.

"..." Xia Wenjing was a little confused and immediately felt that Jiang Jiang was doing it on purpose.

He was deliberately pretending not to recognize his own voice.

"Is he sick? He's on the phone but not saying anything." Jiang Jiang waited for a while but didn't hear anything from the other end, so she hung up the phone.

Upon hearing the busy signal for the second time, Xia Wenjing was speechless.

For a moment, I stared at the phone in disbelief.

They couldn't understand what kind of trick Jiang Jiang was playing.

Is this a case of feigning indifference to lure the prey into a trap?

In the end, Xia Wenjing simply laughed at himself.

When do you start letting women control your emotions? You must have too much free time.

Having figured this out, Xia Wenjing decided to stop calling Jiang Jiang and stop thinking about her.
