Second floor.
"You said you would treat me well for the rest of your life and never let me suffer the slightest grievance, but you just yelled at me. Wang Junchi, we've only been married for a short time. Is this how you treat me?"
Chen Shu sat on the edge of the bed wiping away her tears. The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. The more wronged she felt, the more she wanted to cry, so much so that tears fell "plop plop" down her face, and she couldn't wipe them away in time.
"Am I not good enough to you?"
Wang Junchi sat on a square stool in front of the dressing table, staring at his fussy wife: "Have I ever said anything about you not wanting to go to work? All you do every day is dress yourself up and follow me around. Have I ever said anything bad about you?"
As for me yelling at you today, was that really yelling at you? I was just telling you to stop arguing with Mom, so she wouldn't get hurt. If Mom got sick, who would do the housework? You?
"I can't do housework!"
Chen Shu pouted and said something.
"Since you can't do anything, why can't you control your mouth?"
Wang Junchi leaned against the dressing table, legs crossed, his eyes revealing no emotion, and said, "Besides, my mother clearly spoke ill of me in the living room. You're just being sensitive and insist on taking it personally. Who can you blame for that?"
"I……"
Chen Shu opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.
"Let me tell you the truth, we can't rely on my parents forever. This family will split up sooner or later. If you don't want to be left to starve with me in the future, you'd better have a proper job. Otherwise, if we get separated from the family one day, we'll starve to death on the streets."
Swinging his legs, Wang Junchi, seeing that Chen Shu didn't respond for a long time, couldn't help but ask, "Did you hear what I said?"
"And what about you? You want me to go out to work, but are you going to stay the same as before?"
Chen Shu looked indignant: "I only get paid so little for a month, and I have to get up early every day to leave. Is this any different from taking my life?!"
"Who told you I was going to continue doing the same thing as before?"
He has his own business to make a living, okay?!
Wang Junchi rolled his eyes at Chen Shu and said, "Do you think that everything you wear and everything you put on after you married me was paid for with money I took from my parents?"
He invested money in the black markets in the south and east of the city, and every month he received dividends of over a thousand yuan, which was almost three years' salary for an ordinary worker.
Is he crazy to have this source of income? Why would he go to his workplace and get a fixed salary of a few dozen yuan a month?
Where did you get your money?
After a moment of silence, Chen Shu asked.
"Never mind, it wasn't stolen anyway."
Wang Junchi asked indifferently, "What are your plans now?"
"I'm fine with going to work, but I want to do an easier job."
As Chen Shu spoke, Wang Junchi said, "Go back to the Chen family and ask your father to make arrangements for you."
"What do you mean?"
"What could I possibly mean? If I don't ask your dad to arrange a job for you, am I supposed to go and talk to him?"
"Are you pretending not to know or do you really not know? After that incident between you and me, my dad cut off all ties with me. He won't care about me anymore!"
"It's just talk. I don't believe your father doesn't acknowledge you as his daughter."
"I'm not going. You talk to your dad. I want a high-paying job with easy work, preferably an office job where I don't have to do anything, and it's okay if I'm late in the morning, and I can leave early in the afternoon..."
Why don't you just go to heaven?
Wang Junchi sneered: "Other companies don't hire ancestors, but you're going to work to be treated like one. Chen Shu, I didn't expect someone so ordinary to have such a big face. To be honest, you've broadened my horizons!"
"You're mocking me! Wang Junchi, are you ever going to stop? In just a short while, you've been either yelling at me or mocking me. Are you tired of me?"
Chen Shu was unaware of the truth she was talking about. The man sitting in front of her, her husband, was indeed tired of her as his wife. He thought she was a drama queen and was becoming increasingly impatient with her.
"Think what you want, I'm going downstairs to sit for a while."
Wang Junchi got up and left the bedroom.
Chen Shu was so angry she wanted to cry again, but she knew no one would see her cry now. In other words, it would be pointless to cry, so she naturally wouldn't make things difficult for herself!
After dinner.
Wen Mei went to Wang Jingjing's room and got straight to the point: "You've been acting strange ever since you came back from your brother's. Tell me, what happened?"
"...Who told you that?"
Wang Jingjing did not admit that she had gone to see her brother, Fu Jinheng.
"You sneaked out of the house early this morning, and your suitcase isn't in your room. Do I need someone else to tell me where you went?"
Wen Mei said irritably, "I want to know if you went to work. I can find out by making a phone call to your workplace."
Wang Jingjing didn't reply. She said, "Didn't you say you were going to arrange blind dates for me? I've thought it over. As long as the blind date is suitable, I don't mind getting married this year."
"..."
This is so unusual!
Wen Mei pondered to herself, momentarily at a loss for words. After a long silence, she asked, "Have you seen that child from the Xiao family?"
"I haven't seen Brother Xiao."
Wang Jingjing said she didn't see Xiao Yu, not that she didn't go to see him. It's only a one-word difference, but it seems to imply something different.
Wen Mei was skeptical, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she asked, "Then why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"I've figured it out!"
Wang Jingjing replied casually.
"You've figured it out? If you could figure it out, why didn't you listen to what I told you before?"
Wen Mei expressed disbelief.
"Mom, the fact that I'm willing to go on blind dates now doesn't prove that I've stopped thinking about Brother Xiao. Otherwise, why would I create trouble for myself?"
