Chapter 189 Fortunately You Didn’t Marry Him

Zhou Xue laughed exaggeratedly, "How dare you say I'm not as good as Jiang Xianhui? Wasn't your front tooth knocked out by Jiang Xianhui? You used to be so arrogant in front of Jiang Xianhui, but now that I'm married to Jianting, you, a country woman, still want to act like a big shot. Let me tell you, I, Zhou Xue, am not that easy to bully!"

When she met Wu Jianting, Jiang Xianhui had already seen the true face of the Wu family and was in a semi-crazy state.

She certainly didn't know how stupid Jiang Xianhui was in the early days and how she gave everything to the Wu family.

Wu Jianting was in the middle of the quarrel between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and he was in a very awkward situation. He quickly took Zhou Xue's hand and said, "Xue'er, you also know that my parents are from the countryside. My father and my sister only earn a few dozen yuan a month. They only save a few hundred yuan in a year. Even if they take out all the money for the renovation, it will not be enough, right?

2,000 yuan is just enough for you to buy a few sets of clothes and eat a few meals. Xueer, please be kind to them and give them the money for the renovation."

He married Zhou Xue for money, so that his family could live a wealthy life. If Zhou Xue couldn't even pay for the decoration, what was the point of having her?

Zhou Xue felt a pain in her heart and burst into tears again.

"Jianting, I married you, not your family. I don't owe them anything, and I have no obligation to support them. Besides, my father has stopped giving me money since we got married. I had to borrow money from friends to open this antique shop. Business is not good now. It's common for us to not sell anything for three to five days. If this continues, we won't be able to make a living. How can we take care of your parents and your sister?"

She had given so much for Wu Jianting, even going so far as to turn against her father. But why was it that no matter who in their family she had a conflict with, he never stood by her side?

Wu Jianting gently wiped her tears and kissed her on the forehead.

I coaxed her softly, "Baby, don't cry. My heart breaks when you cry. It doesn't matter that we are poor now, because we are still young. Besides, your father is your biological father after all, and he will not ignore you. If you really don't like my parents, then I will send them back to the countryside. Even if the villagers scold me for being ungrateful, living in a good house and driving a good car in a big city, and marrying the daughter of the richest man, but not caring about the life and death of my poor parents, I don't care."

Since I married you, you are the closest person to me. As long as you are happy, what does it matter if I get scolded by others? "

"Jianting, sob, sob..." Zhou cried and threw herself into Wu Jianting's arms, "Jianting, you are so good to me and love me so much, how can I bear to let you become an unfilial son. It's just 2,000 yuan, I will give it to mom, you are right, my father is my biological father, he will not really ignore my life or death. Otherwise, he can't pay 50,000 yuan to the Jiang family to bail you out of the police station."

Wu Jianting said, "Don't worry, Xue'er. I will remember the kindness you and my father-in-law have shown me for the rest of my life."

In the end, Zhou Xue not only gave Tian Cuiping 2,000 yuan, but also gave her 200 more.

"Mom, I just said those words when I was angry. Consider this 200 yuan as my compensation and apology. You can use it to buy some meat and supplements."

Tian Cuiping took the money and smiled proudly, "Is this what a daughter-in-law should do? Okay, I'll go back now. You and Jianting should take care of the store here."

"Okay, Mom."

Qin Xuan held Jiang Xianli's arm and shook her head. "Fuck, did Zhou Xue forget to bring a brain when she was born? I thought she could deal with that wicked woman Tian Cuiping, but she was so fooled by Wu Jianting with just a few words.

What kind of ability does Wu Jianting have? Wasn't Jiang Xianhui also a fool at the beginning? "

Jiang Xianli was also puzzled, "You ask me, who should I ask? Let's go back."

As they walked towards the car, Qin Xuan said, "Hey, didn't he have a history with you? You should know something about it."

Jiang Xianli said, "I had a relationship with him, but we were all students at that time, and his mind was not polluted by society. A country boy who got into college was quite inspiring. Besides, when we were in love, we only went to the cafeteria to eat together, read books together, and discussed problems. We didn't even hold hands. How could I know that he was such a bad person.

They say that distance creates beauty, but if you don’t live with someone, you’ll never know what kind of person they are.”

If she had not been married to Wu Jianting for so many years in her previous life, perhaps she would never know his true face.

Qin Xuan nodded. "That makes sense. It's a pity that you didn't marry him. Their family is really terrifying."

"Well, let's not talk about me anymore. How are you and Lu Jiaheng doing lately?"

Qin Xuan pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "We plan to get married after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"What?" Jiang Xianli was a little bit unbelievable, "Getting married so soon?"

"Well, we are both not young anymore, and both our parents are urging us to get married. Since we like each other and are a good match, and both families have no objections, let's get married."

"Congratulations, where are you going to live after you get married? Will you continue to live in Haiping City or go to Shenzhen City?"

"We will stay in Haiping City for the next one or two years. After all, Lu Jiaheng's current work focus is in Haiping. However, he and Xie Jingcheng are both preparing to develop in Kyoto. Once the business there is on track, we will probably all go to Kyoto."

Jiang Xianli nodded, "Yeah."

She knew Xie Jingcheng's lofty ambitions. He had been working on opening up overseas channels since last year. He had also bought land in Kyoto before, so it was only a matter of time before he left Haiping City.

…

On Xie Jingcheng's birthday, he got up early in the morning.

I took Jiang Xianli and the gift box to the residence.

Gao Shuhua was feeding parrots in the yard.

Seeing them, he smiled and asked, "Why are you two up so early? And you are both dressed so formally. Where are you going?"

Xie Jingcheng said with some dissatisfaction: "Mom, have you forgotten what day it is today?"

"Of course I can't forget. Isn't today my precious son's birthday? Happy birthday to you, son. Mom has prepared all the gifts for you."

Gao Shuhua entered the house and saw a set of beautifully packaged blue and white porcelain tea sets on the coffee table in the living room.

"Hey, this is for you."

Xie Jingcheng said, "Thank you, Mom. Please sit down."

After Gao Shuhua sat down, Xie Jingcheng knelt in front of her and kowtowed to her three times.

"On my birthday, I would like to express my gratitude to my mother for giving birth to me and raising me. I wish my mother good health and a long life."

Gao Shuhua's nose was sore and she quickly helped him up, "My son is so thoughtful."

Xie Jingcheng handed the gift box he brought to Gao Shuhua, "This is a gift for you."

Since he became an adult, he would kowtow and give gifts to his parents every birthday, but unfortunately this year only his mother was there.

Gao Shuhua opened it and saw that it was a set of imperial green jadeite jewellery.

"This will cost about 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. I'm sorry to have cost you so much."

Xie Jingcheng smiled and said, "Xiao Qian, I make money so that you and Lili can live a good life. As long as you are happy, spending some money is nothing."

Then he took Jiang Xianli and sat down, and said to Gao Shuhua in a serious tone, "Mom, I have one more thing I want to tell you."

"You say."

"I, I'm going to start developing in Kyoto. When the time is right, I'll probably move there with Lili. It'll take another three years, or more than a year if it's fast."

Gao Shuhua was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "I knew long ago that this Haiping City would not hold you down. If your son is ordinary, you will be kept by your parents. If your son is outstanding, you will spread your wings and fly high. Don't worry, Mom will only be proud of having a son like you, and will not become a rope that ties your feet."

"Thank you, Mom."

"Why are we saying thank you? Since you two are here so early in the morning, just have breakfast with me before you leave."

"good."

After dinner, Xie Jingcheng went to the company and Jiang Xianli returned to her residence.

From two o'clock in the afternoon, she began to busy herself in the kitchen, learning how to make cakes from the pastry chef, and then made six dishes that Xie Jingcheng liked.

After Jiang Xianli finished her work in the kitchen, she went to the garden to cut some flowers.

She had already bought the colored paper and ribbons for making the bouquets and had secretly practiced many times.

A bouquet of flowers can be tied in ten minutes.

At around 6:30, Xie Jingcheng came back from get off work. As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Xianli walked up to him holding a bouquet of flowers.

With a smile full of sincerity, "Hubby, you're back."

She gave the flowers to Xie Jingcheng and kissed him on the cheek, "Happy Birthday!"

Xie Jingcheng had a happy smile on his face and lowered his head to kiss her lips. "Thank you, my wife."

Jiang Xianli pulled him to the dining table, and looking at the dishes, his smile grew even bigger.

"This dish doesn't look like it was made by a chef. Could it be you who made it?"

"Well, please sit down."

Jiang Xianli took out the gifts she had bought and even had them beautifully packaged.

"I give this to you. I wish you peace and happiness no matter how high or far you fly."

Xie Jingcheng opened the box and exclaimed, "This car pendant looks really nice. Thank you."

Jiang Xianli took out her own piece as well, "Hey, couple, I bought one for myself too."

Xie Jingcheng's eyes lit up and he couldn't stop being happy.

"You spent a lot of money on this, didn't you?"

"Not much, just over 2,000."

"It's really expensive. Next time, just give me a couple keychain worth a few cents or something."

As he spoke, Xie Jingcheng took out 20,000 yuan and put it in Jiang Xianli's hand.

Jiang Xianli looked at him and asked, "Why, you want to give me money for a birthday present?"

Xie Jingcheng pursed his lips and said, "No, I'm in a good mood today, so I'm giving you some pocket money. Put it away quickly, or I'll be angry."

In fact, Jiang Xianli knew that he gave it to him because he thought she spent money.

But if she doesn't accept it, he will be really angry.

However, now that they are a real couple, she will no longer be estranged from Xie Jingcheng.

He smiled and said, "Thank you, Master."

Xie Jingcheng poured two glasses of wine, "Come on, let's have a drink."

Jiang Xianli took the wine glass and smiled brightly.

"Okay, let's do it!"

…

Time flies and it's September.

Haiping City is located in the north, and the weather becomes a bit cooler as September begins.

When Jiang Xianli opened the window in the morning, it was drizzling outside.

There are also withered and yellow leaves swirling down from the branches.

It's her favorite season and her favorite weather again, so nice.

On the bed, Xie Jingcheng was still sleeping.

Jiang Xianli lay in front of him and rubbed his face with her hands.

"Jingcheng, thank you Jingcheng, wake up, it's half past seven, you should go to work."

Xie Jingcheng drowsily held her in his arms, "No, there's nothing to do at the company today, I'll sleep a little longer."

Jiang Xianli blinked, and her long eyelashes fluttered on his face like a small fan.

"Then you go to sleep. I'm up anyway. I have to go to work soon. Yangyang will also report to National Tsing Hua University in two days. I'm going to the mall to buy some suitable clothes for both of us."

"Okay, okay, I'll get up. I'll go to the mall with you."

After having breakfast, the two did not go to Taiji Mall, but chose a department store.

Because any piece of clothing in Taiji Shopping Mall costs hundreds of dollars, it is too high-profile for Jiang Xianli, a soon-to-be-appointed teacher, or Xie Jingcheng, a student who has just entered college.

In the end, Jiang Xianli bought three sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes for herself, and four sets of clothes and four pairs of shoes for Jiang Xianyang.

He usually plays basketball and does sports, so he wears out his shoes.

After coming out of the mall, Jiang Xianli originally wanted to deliver the clothes and shoes directly to Jiang Xianyang.

But I received a call from Gao Shuhua.

Gao Shuhua: "Lili, Xiao Wang said you and Jingcheng went to the mall. Have you finished shopping?"

Jiang Xianli: "Well, we've finished shopping. Mom, do you need me to bring you anything?"

Gao Shuhua: "No, no, it's that Song Yuanchi's mother, your Aunt Du Xia, is coming from Kyoto, and she wants to invite our whole family to have lunch with Xuan's family at noon. Your eldest brother and his wife, and your third brother and his wife are not at home, so I wanted to take you, Jingcheng, and your second brother with you. I just don't know if you and Jingcheng have any other plans for lunch."

Jiang Xianli said quickly, "We are fine, we will definitely be there."

Gao Shuhua: "Okay, okay."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xianli looked at the time and it was already 11 o'clock.

They set out now and will arrive at the hotel at exactly 11:30.

When the elders invite the younger ones to dinner, it is natural that they cannot be late.

Jiang Xianli and Xie Jingcheng happened to meet Qin Xuan and her parents at the hotel entrance.

After greeting each other, they went straight to the private room.

Not long after, Gao Shuhua, Xie Jingfeng, Du Xia and Song Yuanchi also arrived.

After sitting down, Du Xia smiled and said with emotion: "After not seeing each other for so many years, the children have grown up. This is Jingcheng and his wife, look how well-matched they are, like a perfect match."

Gao Shuhua also smiled and said, "Yes, when I think back to when we were together, it felt like only a short time had passed, but now, you are already a grandmother. Look how well you have nurtured Yuan Chi. He is tall and handsome, and has such advanced medical skills at such a young age."

Du Xia half-jokingly said, "What's the use of this? Xuanxuan still doesn't like him. I heard that Xuanxuan is getting married and he still hasn't found a partner. Shuhua, you and Jinwan have also spent a lot of effort to help us Yuanchi find a suitable girl. I introduced so many people to him in Kyoto, but he didn't like any of them. He is so picky and still has no partner at the age of 30."
