Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Half of the Body
Jiang Yue nodded.
"Why?" Wen Yao couldn't understand. "Even if you wanted to quit, you didn't say you'd be broke if you lost a little money, right? Why are you suddenly selling the house?"
Besides, she had only lived in this house for a short time. The design and decoration were all a lot of work. Why would she sell it just like that? Selling a house like this wouldn't make much money, and she might even lose a lot. She really couldn't understand why she was selling it.
Jiang Yue seemed to have thought it all through. Despite the setback, he remained calm and composed. Seeing her surprise, he slowly explained, "Because Jiang Lin still lives in Yinhu Mansion. Since I can't overshadow him, I shouldn't live here."
Wen Yao thought about it and felt that what he said seemed to make sense.
The reason why she had set him up to live in such a large villa was to set off the male protagonist Jiang Lin. The more pretentious the male supporting role is, the more satisfying it is to slap him in the face. But now Jiang Yue is going to sell the Roman Manor, lose his position as the president of Yueer Group, and is suspected of sexual assault. He has become a scum that everyone hates. Such a male supporting role is no longer worthy of being the comparison group for the male protagonist.
"If you live with me in a house with very poor conditions, can you get used to it?" Jiang Yue suddenly asked.
Wen Yao rolled her eyes at him. "You talk as if I'm used to your big house. I haven't even explored all the rooms here yet, okay? Just give me a room with a bed and a computer."
After all, I am a homebody who is addicted to the Internet, and I don’t have high requirements for houses.
Jiang Yue smiled as if he had expected this, and said with an understanding attitude, "Then get ready. We'll be moving in two days."
"Ah? Have you found a place to live? Didn't you just wake up?" Wen Yao was surprised again.
Jiang Yue replied, "No need to look. There are a few houses in the city center, but they're a bit old and small. I'll also sell a few cars later. It would be better to live somewhere with more convenient transportation."
Wen Yao nodded, thinking that she was ignorant again. She thought that other people were just like her and had to take the subway to look for cheap houses before moving. But it turned out that other people had sold their big villa in the suburbs and their house in the city center.
However, she was a little skeptical about whether Jiang Yue could adapt to the old and dilapidated house, because she had rented there before and had a very bad impression of it. The sound insulation was poor, the management was chaotic, the staff was complicated, and there were a lot of rats and cockroaches. She remembered that there was an online store that had a particularly useful mousetrap, and she wondered if she could still find it here.
At this moment, Wen Yao remembered something and asked him for confirmation: "What about Housekeeper Gong, Old Zhang, and Mrs. Chen? They don't need me to cook, do they? I have to be forewarned, my cooking is terrible, and I often can't even eat it myself."
She had watched many TV dramas where the protagonists went bankrupt overnight and lived a poor life, and she couldn't help but imagine all kinds of things. The other things were fine, after all, she had never been rich, but she felt that she was not capable of serving Jiang Yue.
I thought Jiang Yue would say of course she didn't need to cook, but he looked at her with interest and asked, "Can you cook? Why don't you try it one day, and then I'll decide whether to keep Lao Zhang."
Lao Zhang is the chef in the kitchen now. He used to be the head chef in a high-end restaurant. The dishes he cooked were so delicious and tasty. It was because of him that Wen Yao gained four pounds right after she arrived. She had to go hungry for a few meals before losing three pounds.
Hearing that Jiang Yue really had this idea, Wen Yao quickly objected: "No, no, I don't want to do it. At worst, I can order takeout for you, if you can accept a box lunch of around 25."
She is quite experienced in ordering takeout.
Jiang Yue smiled at her.
He was not so poor that he could only cook for himself, but when he heard her talk about cooking, he became interested and wanted to try the food she cooked.
Of course he could also think about her cooking skills, but he was just curious and looking forward to it.
Indeed, he had already made plans for the future and told her all about them, but what he didn't say was that in addition to his career, there was also her in this plan.
When he saw her at the police station, when she stopped his mother's rage for him, and when she stayed by his side to accompany him to sleep, he felt a strange joy and peace of mind, a feeling of being filled and nourished by a certain emotion. This emotion was so powerful that it seemed to make people full of hope even in the dark night with no future.
The moment he woke up, he suddenly realized that he wanted her.
He finally understood why some people were unwilling to accept a marriage arranged by their families between people of equal social status, and instead wanted to marry someone who would not help them in their career or future.
Because that feeling of satisfaction and peace of mind is more addictive than the sense of accomplishment brought by career success. Career success can give people goals and make people keep working hard, but that kind of satisfaction and peace of mind can make people still feel happy even when they have lost everything and their efforts are hopeless.
One is the pyramid above the head, which attracts people to climb; the other is the light in the dark night, which keeps people’s hearts warm forever.
If you ask him who his favorite marriage partner was in the past, it would of course be Lu Wan.
She has a good family background, good looks, a gentle temperament, and is quiet and non-noisy. Not only is she easy to get along with, but she can also provide him with the greatest help.
But now, if there is a chance to marry Lu Wan, he will hesitate, and may even refuse. If he gives up her and chooses Lu Wan, it will be like he has lost half of his body.
It's just that he chose her in his heart, but he didn't know what she was thinking.
Wen Yao thought of her own update at this time.
I haven't written a single word today because I'm worried about Jiang Yue. It's obvious I'm going to stop updating. It wasn't a big deal before, but now Jiang Yue is considering asking her to cook. Will that mean he'll suspend her secondary account? Then she'll go from being a wealthy young lady to a social idler with no source of income. How dare she stop updating under these circumstances?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Jiang Yue made the decision, "Okay, it's settled. You make dinner tonight. I'm going to change and go downstairs."
Wen Yao quickly objected: "What do you mean it's settled? I didn't agree to it. It's impossible!"
"In that case—" Jiang Yue took out her phone, "then let's discuss this issue."
He took her hand, unlocked the fingerprint lock, and flipped to the phone book: "What is this?"
Wen Yao looked up and saw that it was her mobile phone contact. A long string of words was written on the screen: The King of Cuckolds on the Jiang Grassland, don’t be so arrogant if you pretend to be cool.
Wen Yao fell silent, as if she was very familiar with the words, yet she couldn't see them clearly. Her mind was confused, and she couldn't think of how to defend herself for a long time.
"King of Cuckolds?" Jiang Yue stood up and leaned over to look at her: "Don't forget, you are my wife now. Are you hinting at something?"
Wen Yao quickly shook her head: "Of course not, I just... it was just a coincidence..."
"Then change it now." He handed over the phone.
This note was indeed not very nice. Wen Yao knew she was in the wrong, so she immediately took over and re-edited the contact, deleting the string of names. Then she hesitated and looked up at him: "Change it to what?"
"What do you think?" Jiang Yue asked her back, his tone gentle and leisurely, but his eyes were fixed on her, as if he had no intention of giving up.
Wen Yao quickly typed the word: Jiang Yue.
"Is this all right?"
Jiang Yue didn't respond immediately. He certainly felt that this wasn't acceptable. This note was too ordinary, as if he was just an acquaintance.
Seeing that he remained silent, Wen Yao guessed that he was not satisfied with this title, so she deleted the previous one and retyped: Mr. Jiang.
After losing, I looked up at him and found that his brows were furrowed, and he looked even less satisfied than before.
Wen Yao is an author and is used to changing the introduction and the beginning. This happens frequently, so she immediately changed it to: The noble and charming Lord Jiang.
"Is this okay?" She held up her phone to show him, thinking, "That's enough. This is too corny. Can I handle it?"
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Huang Qianyi's voice rang out: "Jiang Yue, are you awake?"
"Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes." Jiang Yue said as he looked at Wen Yao's phone and sighed slightly. He raised his eyes and said, "Forget it, change it to Jiang Yue. Also, learn to cook as soon as possible. You can cook the first meal after moving. Let's forget about this."
Wen Yao wanted to bargain, but seeing that he had already gone to the closet to get clothes and Huang Qianyi was waiting outside the door, she had to give up. She stood up and prepared to open the door and go out without delay to avoid being misunderstood as wanting to see him change clothes.
Jiang Yue turned around and asked her, "What do you want to do?"
Wen Yao was stunned: "Go out."
Jiang Yue showed an expression of worry for her IQ: "Are you going to drop another bombshell on my mother, letting her know that not only is her son involved in a sexual assault lawsuit, he's also lost his heir status, and even his wife is fake? I know you don't like her, but this revenge is too harsh."
Wen Yao withdrew her feet awkwardly, returned to the sofa, and turned her back to him: "Okay, I'll stay here. I didn't see you."
Jiang Yue curled the corners of his lips slightly and walked to the cloakroom to change clothes.
Five minutes later, Jiang Yue went to open the door and said to Huang Qianyi, "Let's go. Let's talk downstairs if you have anything to say."
Huang Qianyi didn't move immediately, but just asked, "Is she in there?"
Jiang Yue asked knowingly, "Who?"
Huang Qianyi said unhappily: "Your wife, Wen Yao!"
Jiang Yue then slowly replied, "In the room. Do you have something to talk to her about?" He had kept the door half-closed, and didn't seem to intend to let Huang Qianyi in. Huang Qianyi didn't want to rush in either, but said with lingering anger, "Let her come out too."
Wen Yao had already heard everything from inside, and she had already stood up and came over. She said calmly, "Mom, are you looking for me?"
Wen Yao has always been unconfident about her quarreling ability, but after the battle just now, she felt that she still had a great chance of winning against Huang Qianyi, so she was not afraid now. She secretly boosted her morale in her heart, preparing for another confrontation and killing her without leaving a single piece of armor.
Huang Qianyi just glared at her, then looked at Jiang Yue and said, "I came to see you just now. Do you know how she spoke to me? I have never seen such a rude junior in my life!"
Jiang Yue turned to look at Wen Yao, a look of anticipation on his face. He asked Huang Qianyi, "What did she say?"
Huang Qianyi didn't elaborate, only saying coldly, "Of course, it's just some irrelevant talk."
Wen Yao was about to explain, but she heard Jiang Yue say, "Did she contradict you again to protect me?"
After saying that, he smiled and said, "Yaoyao trusts me, cares about me, and is willing to offend her mother-in-law for me. Shouldn't you be happy for me to have such a wife? I remember you thought she married me for money before, but now you understand that she really cares about me as a person."
Huang Qianyi's face flushed red, she was angry and anxious, but she couldn't say anything. She felt that Jiang Yue was not only protecting Wen Yao, but also seemed to be showing off his affection just now. She couldn't help but get even more angry. What time was it, and he was still being sentimental?
So he simply let the matter go and said angrily: "Alright, alright, now is not the time to discuss this, tell me what happened with that actress!
