Shen Shixun felt there was no need for that. "Your attitude today has already made itself clear. I believe he understands what's going on. Many times, what you see is only the surface."
"You mean my second brother's actions are understandable? I never told you about his relationship with Jiang Yao. The person today is named Jiang Yuxin, Jiang Yao's half-sister, the person she hates the most!"
This is shameless, unethical, and utterly insulting!
Jiang Yao was already so pitiful. She finally managed to pull herself together and try to open a teahouse in the ancient city to make some money. Before her business could even take off, Xiang Ciyuan dealt her a heavy blow.
"So what you're seeing is only the surface."
"They were hugging and kissing on the sofa, but was it just for show?"
Xiang Nanzhi pointed to the seat next to her, and Shen Shixun sat down. She rested her head on the man's shoulder. "Shen Shixun, I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. If you dare to cheat on me with other women like this, I won't let you off the hook. I'll twist your head off."
"I wouldn't dare."
"Dare not" means having the desire to steal but not the courage to do so.
"No, I have absolutely no such thought."
With such a beautiful wife at home, how could he possibly be unfaithful? Unless he's insane.
Shen Shixun returned to the mine shortly afterward, and Li Luchuan did not show up even after he finished his work.
Driving back a little later, Shen Shixun picked up Xiang Nanzhi and took her to the market together.
Xiang Nanzhi had never been to a wet market in his life and was used to buying things in supermarkets. As soon as he entered the wet market, a fishy and stinky smell hit him... The ground was wet and slippery, mixed with an indescribable filth.
The butcher's cutting board was covered with scraps of meat, and the board itself was black. There was a pool of blood on the ground, and pig hearts, kidneys, and intestines were hanging together, tied tightly with a red rope.
There was also a net of lard hanging there, swarming with flies.
Xiang Nanzhi felt disgusted just looking at it. She grabbed Shen Shixun's hand and said, "Forget it, let's go to the supermarket to buy it."
Supermarket items at least look clean.
Shen Shixun ignored her and bought two catties of lard, a pair of pig kidneys, and several catties of pork. When he got to the noodle shop, he bought a few yuan's worth of dumpling wrappers and some other vegetables.
Xiang Nanzhi frowned the whole time, feeling that the vegetable market was dirty everywhere, and even that he felt that he was dirty on his body.
She felt she couldn't eat any of these things after buying them.
A short while later, Shen Shixun rendered out pork cracklings, which were then coated with a layer of granulated sugar.
"What is this?"
"Try it."
“I won’t eat it. The thought of you buying things from that kind of place makes me sick. There are flies, and the whole place is filthy…”
"Xiang Nanzhi, do you think the food you eat in restaurants is clean?"
Shen Shixun said with a smile, "What you eat in the restaurant only looks clean. Have you ever been to the kitchen?"
Xiang Nanzhi didn't say anything, but she thought to herself that the food in high-end restaurants must be different from other places, whether it's the ingredients or the way they're prepared.
I have no appetite tonight.
Upon hearing this, Shen Shixun stopped trying to persuade her. Xiang Nanzhi ate a few pieces of dried fruit, but found them tasteless.
She leaned back on the sofa, heavily pregnant, with a small dish of pork cracklings beside her emitting a peculiar aroma.
He had never eaten anything like this before. Xiang Nanzhi stopped eating when she thought of the filth in the market, but the pork cracklings didn't look dirty at all. They were white with a slightly browned appearance. She picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
Even the dirtiest things should be clean after high-temperature sterilization. Mmm...it tastes so good, so crispy and crunchy...
Xiang Nanzhi ate a few more pieces, but felt they were too greasy to eat anymore. He then tore off some tissue paper to wipe his hands and threw it into the trash can.
Shen Shixun made stir-fried pork kidneys, stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, and a water spinach dish.
Xiang Nanzhi ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of the delicious food; he not only ate, but ate a lot and ate until he was very full.
Jiang Yao returned to the parking lot and saw a familiar figure in the distance. She was about to run away, but then she took a deep breath and walked towards the person.
That person was none other than Song Ze.
She got away last time, and Song Ze was in a bad mood because he couldn't teach her a lesson. Just thinking about what she did that made him lose all his image and look ridiculous in front of Xiang Nanzhi made him want to tear her to pieces.
He was somewhat surprised that Jiang Yao was walking towards him so boldly.
"You should know that my teahouse just opened today, and a lot of people have come to support it. Xiang Nanzhi lives upstairs. If anything happens to me here, you'll be in big trouble."
Song Ze's eyelids twitched, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. "You're such a slut."
"My abilities are beyond your wildest imagination."
Indeed, Song Ze was watching from a short distance when he had someone deal with her last time, and he saw Xiang Ciyuan injure his men and rescue Jiang Yao.
He had no idea when this woman started dating Xiang Ciyuan.
Jiang Yao looked directly at him. "If you're willing to let things slide, then we'll go our separate ways from now on. But if you continue to make things difficult for me and keep me from having a peaceful life, I will definitely not let you off the hook."
Opening a teahouse is all about building connections; even a fool could see that.
The Song family doesn't have that much power right now; they can't control everything in the ancient city. There are just too many things they need to be careful about.
"There is absolutely no possibility between Xiang Nanzhi and you. If you want to continue clinging to the Xiang family, you should give up now. Let's see which woman in the ancient city is stupid enough to be willingly used by you."
"To be honest, I only realized this now. A man who can only climb the social ladder through relationships with women will never amount to anything in his life. Even if he thinks he's some kind of genius, he's just gilding his own lily."
