"If you listen to everything I say, won't people say you're henpecked?"
Lin Zhaoyue asked, half-jokingly.
"They were clearly envious."
"..." The fact that he didn't deny it means that someone said it.
What Lin Zhaoyue didn't know was that her reputation as a "henpecked husband" was spread by Jiang Jingzhou.
Jiang Jingzhou used to occasionally get together with his close friends from the compound, but now when others invite him, he always replies, "Sorry, my wife won't let me drink."
Actually, Lin Zhaoyue didn't know about this.
Jiang Jingzhou just wanted to come back as soon as possible to be with the children.
Or perhaps he would drive out to pick up Lin Zhaoyue from get off work.
He felt that his current life was truly meaningful, and being with others was boring.
"Wife, go to sleep."
It's very late today, I should get some sleep.
There's always tomorrow to think about. Jiang Jingzhou held Lin Zhaoyue in his arms, and she tried to push him away, but couldn't.
"Sleep." Sleeping is just sleeping, nothing more.
Lin Zhaoyue: "..." The man has become much more obedient lately.
She even began to suspect that he was not normal.
Of course, Lin Zhaoyue wasn't foolish enough to ask proactively, lest the man misunderstand and think she wanted to.

Mujia Factory
Mu Jingwan had just arrived at the factory office, where she still had a lot of work left unfinished from the previous night. She was about to continue when someone pushed open the office door—
Who is it?
Entering the office without knocking is incredibly rude. Mu Jingwan was still impatient, but when she saw who it was, her anger subsided considerably.
Sister-in-law, Su Zhifei's wife.
"Sister-in-law, what brings you here today?" Mu Jingwan's eyes flickered, and she stood up to say something. The woman walked straight up to her and slapped her across the face without any politeness. With a "smack," half of Mu Jingwan's face went numb. She had only met this sister-in-law a few times, and the two had no interaction whatsoever. To be precise, this sister-in-law looked down on her, and the entire Su family looked down on her.
Mu Jingwan raised her hand to cover her face, turning her stiff neck to look at her, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?"
"Don't you understand what I mean?" Li Tingting raised an eyebrow. "I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to do something so stupid!"
Mu Jingwan swallowed unconsciously. "Sister-in-law, I still don't understand."
"Fine, since you love playing dumb so much, then I'll be blunt."
Li Tingting said coldly, "I heard you're pregnant, is that true?"
Mu Jingwan nodded stiffly, "Yes,"
"Whose child is this in your belly? Is it your second child's?"
Mu Jingwan didn't believe that Li Tingting would have the time or inclination to care about her pregnancy; there must be something else going on.
"yes."
Mu Jingwan nodded hesitantly and said, "Sister-in-law, of course it's Zhixiang's, who else could it be?"
"Mu Jingwan, I'm giving you one last chance. You'd better tell me the truth honestly." Li Tingting's tone was completely impatient, her eyes flashing. "Tell me, are you pregnant or not!"
Mu Jingwan opened her mouth, "I'm...I'm pregnant..."
Her voice sounded a little nervous when she spoke again.
"Very well, it seems your mouth is really tight! I just wonder if your mouth will still be so tight later." Li Tingting suddenly reached out and grabbed Mu Jingwan's neck, tightening her grip forcefully. "You're helping them lie to deceive me. Don't think I don't know, Su Zhifei's other woman is pregnant. He's going to great lengths to have his illegitimate child recognized as part of the family. You're using pregnancy to deceive me, so he'll dump the child on you to raise. In the future, all of the Su family's assets will belong to this illegitimate child, and my daughter and I will get nothing, won't we!"
Mu Jingwan was surprised that Li Tingting found out so quickly.
She gripped Li Tingting's hand tightly, trying to pry it open, but Li Tingting's grip was strong, and she thought for a moment that she was about to die there.
Li Tingting clearly came prepared today; there were several bodyguards standing outside.
Mu Jingwan knew she was no match for Li Tingting, so all she could do now was protect herself.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..." Mu Jingwan frowned in distress, "No, let me explain, I'll tell you everything."
Li Tingting then let go of her hand. "Tell me! Tell me everything you know, including what they told you. If you dare to lie to me again, I guarantee you won't leave this room alive."
Mu Jingwan lay on the ground coughing violently, tears streaming down her face. "Sister-in-law, we are both pitiful people. I am even worse than you. At least you have your family to rely on. I have nothing. I can only do whatever they tell me to do. I was forced to do it. Raising someone else's child is not as good as raising my own. Unless I am out of my mind, I would think that raising someone else's child is better."
Li Tingting looked at her coldly. Mu Jingwan was still crying. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears. "Sister-in-law, I am innocent. Don't hold me accountable."
Li Tingting knew, of course, that Mu Jingwan was innocent; this woman didn't have that much power.
She was just following the advice of the Su family.
Li Tingting's eyes narrowed slightly, her emotions calming down a bit. "That's all?"
"Oh, right, my mother-in-law has always wanted you to have a grandson. There are some things she doesn't dare to say in front of you, which is why she dares to cause trouble for me."
"Heh, if she dares to say these things to my face, I'll make sure the entire Su family never has a moment's peace."
Li Tingting possesses absolute power; even her children share the surname Li. In the future, one child will inherit her maternal family's property, and the other will inherit the Su family's.
Li Tingting had everything arranged, but then an illegitimate child suddenly appeared.
This made her very angry.
The Su family still can't understand why their son and daughter don't matter. As long as they have the ability, what can their daughter do?
They can still stand on their own two feet!
Li Tingting never thought her son was good; her original plan was to have two children.
It just so happens that both of their children were daughters.
This only proves that she was never destined to be a mother-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, I'll do whatever you say. Just tell me what to do, okay?"
Mu Jingwan pleaded for mercy.
"Okay! As long as you behave well, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Li Tingting's lips curled slightly. "Didn't he plan to let you take care of the child? Then you can take the child over. Just pretend that nothing happened today. If you dare to tell me even a single word, your life, and the lives of your entire family, will be gone by tomorrow."
"Huh?" Mu Jingwan was a little surprised. What did she mean by that?
"Do what I tell you to do! Don't ask why."
Li Tingting gave the order in a cold voice.
"yes."
"Hmph, we don't even know if it'll be a boy or a girl when it's born. They're certainly making a clever plan." Li Tingting curled her lips in disdain. "You keep working. I'm going back now. If they ask later, just say I have business to discuss with you."
"clear."
Mu Jingwan finally managed to send this great god away!
