Chapter 4 Did he not come back overnight?

Jiang Xianli smiled, as bright as the peach blossoms blooming all over the mountains in February.

"I'll definitely remember that."

"From now on, you will sleep in this room, and I will sleep next door."

As he spoke, Xie Jingcheng took out a quilt from the closet.

The moment he walked out of the room, he suddenly turned back.

Then he took out a stack of bills from his wallet and put them on the bed. "After all, you will be my wife, Xie Jingcheng, in the future. You can use this two thousand yuan as pocket money to get your hair permed and buy some clothes, so that others won't laugh at you for being shabby."

"Okay, thank you."

Jiang Xianli's thanks came from the bottom of her heart.

In her two lifetimes, she had never had so much money in her pocket.

Two thousand! That’s enough for her father’s salary for a year.

Jiang Xianli and Xie Jingcheng also had dinner in their own small western-style building.

Braised local chicken, steamed mandarin fish, beef with hot peppers, sweet and sour pork ribs, celery and black fungus, braised cabbage with vinegar, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, mapo tofu, and white fungus soup.

There are exactly nine, which means longevity.

In the Jiang family, we don’t even get to eat so many dishes during the Chinese New Year.

Jiang Xianli was very hungry at this moment and drank a bowl of soup in one breath.

Xie Jingcheng couldn't help but twitch his lips, "You didn't eat lunch?"

"Um."

"You are as stupid as a fool. There is no one else here. Who would know if you secretly took a few bites? Besides, many customs are bad habits."

Jiang Xianli looked at him with some surprise. This second-generation rich guy might not be as bad as the outside world said.

Before she could say anything, the phone rang.

Aunt Wang took the call and looked at Jiang Xianli first, then said unnaturally, "Fourth Young Master, looking for you."

"Who is it?"

Xie Jingcheng ate his meal without even raising his head.

"Yes, it's a girl named Ye."

Xie Jingcheng paused, then quickly put down his bowl and went to answer the phone.

I only heard him soothing me softly, "Don't be afraid, I'll be there soon."

After saying that, he put on his coat and strode out the door without even saying hello to Jiang Xianli.

Aunt Wang opened her mouth, wanted to say something but stopped herself. As maids, they hated talking too much.

Jiang Xianli didn't mind it. Without Xie Jingcheng around, she ate more comfortably.

I don't know why, but while I was eating, I started to shed tears.

When they were at the Jiang family, if a chicken was stewed, her brother and younger brother would each get a chicken leg, and her older sister and younger sister would each get a chicken wing.

Her father is the main laborer in the family and eats chicken bodies.

Her mother eats chicken necks, but she can only eat chicken heads.

It was even worse at the Wu family’s house; we couldn’t even have soup to drink.

Because her mother-in-law... No, Wu Jianting's mother said that a woman who can't give birth to a child is not worthy of having sex.

But, is it because she can't give birth? It's obviously his son's sperm!

hehe……

On the wedding night, Jiang Xianli's husband ran away to another woman.

But she was still happier than ever before, because she got money that she had never had before and ate food that she had never eaten before.

The next day, Jiang Xianli got up early.

When I went downstairs, I passed by the next room. The door was open, but Xie Jingcheng was not there.

Aunt Wang was cleaning downstairs. Seeing her, she smiled and said, "Fourth Young Master's wife, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"After breakfast, I have to go and serve tea to my parents, my brother and his wife, so I have to get up early. Is the fourth young master back?"

Aunt Wang shook her head cautiously, "The Fourth Young Master...he hasn't come back yet. Maybe he really has something urgent to do."

Jiang Xianli just chuckled, "Yeah."

I waited until eight o'clock, but Xie Jingcheng still didn't show up.

Jiang Xianli was afraid of being impolite, so she went to the main house by herself.

Sure enough, in the living room, all the members of the Xie family were already seated according to their generation.

"Mom, Dad, Brother, and Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry I'm late."

Mrs. Xie smiled lovingly, "It's okay, it's okay, where's Cheng'er?"

"He was too tired yesterday and hasn't woken up yet."

The second young master's wife, He Xinran, said with a subtle expression, "Fourth brother's wife, I'm afraid you are lying. Last night, I was walking in the yard to digest my food, and I saw fourth brother driving out. I was afraid that you two had some conflicts on your wedding night, so I went to ask the security guard this morning. He said that fourth brother went out last night and has not returned since. Fourth brother's wife, you and fourth brother didn't have a quarrel, did you?"

Before Jiang Xianli could even speak, the Xie family master slammed the table and said, "This idiot, if he comes, I will break his legs!"

Mrs. Xie looked at Jiang Xianli with eyes full of pity and helplessness, "Lili, I really wronged you by letting you marry me."

"No." Jiang Xianli shook her head. "Given my family situation, I am marrying up. It is my honor to have you, my parents, protecting me.

Jingcheng and I got married without ever meeting each other, which was a huge injustice for him as a freedom-loving person. It was a bit too much to ask two strangers like us to fall in love with each other all of a sudden. We needed some time to get used to each other and understand each other.

I believe that as long as I do well enough, Jingcheng will be willing to return home in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present had different expressions.

Being abandoned on the wedding night, this girl didn't cry or make a fuss, and she even defended the man with every word.
