Chapter 102 The Old Man's Deep Schemes



Jin Zeng nodded with a smile, then turned to Li Shuyang and asked, "Shuyang, what do you think?"

Li Shuyang stared at the direction where Xu Ruantang had disappeared, his mind a jumbled mess.

Why is it that the girl he falls in love with again and again is his third sister-in-law?

God is really too easy to bully.

Seeing that he was not speaking and was staring blankly into the distance, Jin slapped him on the back of the head.

Li Shuyang covered his head, crying out with a mournful expression, "Teacher! Why do you keep hitting my head!"

First it was Xu Hanli, and now it's the teacher!

They all went for the head!

"Hmph, if I don't beat you up, you'll lose your soul!" Jin Zeng sneered. "Why would I discuss painting techniques with you? I'd rather discuss dating skills and how to woo girls!"

I think your mind isn't on the painting; it's more on the young girl. You like her? If you liked her, why didn't you show it earlier?

"You always hide in the shadows! When I was pursuing your teacher's wife, I wasn't nearly as shy as you! You're always so playful and teasing, how come you become so sleazy when it really matters?!"

Jin kept rambling on and on, but Li Shuyang didn't hear a single word.

Is it because he's not brave?

He was just born at the wrong time; there was nothing he could do about it.

His heart was shattered to pieces, and it was being trampled on repeatedly.

At his house, she told him she couldn't draw. It wasn't that she couldn't draw; she just didn't want to talk to him.

It's just to avoid suspicion because of my third brother.

Does she really like Third Brother that much?

When Li Shuyang thought of Chen Ji, he instantly felt that losing to him was only right, and he felt a little better.

He went home after leaving Xifosi Market. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Li Shuhe holding a book, as if she was looking for something.

"Sis, what are you looking for?"

Li Shuhe didn't even look up. "Dating tips? What were you doing?"

Li Shuyang almost spat out his water. "You're dating someone?!"

"Of course...no!" Li Shuhe glared at him. "But you, running around all day, at such an old age, don't even have a boyfriend."

Unlike Ruan Ruan, who's the same age as you and is already having her wedding banquet.

When Li Shuhe gets ruthless, she even curses herself.

Upon hearing Xu Ruantang's name, Li Shuyang's eyes flickered slightly, and he retorted defiantly, "Don't talk about me! You don't have one either, do you? Be careful, Mom might have someone introduce you to someone."

"Pah, pah, pah, why does your mouth smell so bad! You should learn from Chen Ji, who is so old and still does such fancy things."

Li Shuhe muttered to herself, "But it's so strange, what kind of couple would play such a big joke, actually agreeing in writing to divorce in six months."

That's really high-stakes! No wonder I'm single; I never thought of that before…

Li Shuhe completely ignored Li Shuyang; if she looked up, she would definitely see his incredibly dramatic expression, as if he had been struck by lightning.

......

Xu Ruantang was very happy the whole way, wishing she could skip every step.

She felt that her actions just now were in line with the saying, "Having accomplished the deed, she left without a trace, concealing her merit and fame!"

She really pulled off that act!

Indeed, the feeling of doing what you love is something that nothing in the world can replace.

She carried the cloth into the yard. The gate was open, so she figured Aunt Wang and Xiao Bao must have gone home.

Xu Ruantang deliberately quickened her pace, skipping into the room, and mimicked Shin-chan's voice, "Baby, I'm home!"

She hopped into the house, made an exaggerated expression, and smiled at the people inside.

The smile appeared on her face for a fleeting moment, then froze...

Besides Godmother and Xiaobao, Chen Ji and Xu Hanli were also sitting in the main room.

Apart from Xiao Bao, the expressions on everyone else's faces were quite interesting.

Little Bao tilted his head, making "Eeeeeee" sounds incessantly. Ever since he learned the exaggerated three-tone "Ee~" at the Chen family's house...

Every time Xu Ruantang and Chen Ji came home, she would excitedly exclaim, "Ew!"

The godmother stepped in to defuse the situation, standing up to take the fabric from her hands and asking with a smile, "Here, let me see the patterns you bought this time. Oh, where's your styrofoam box?"

Her godmother knew she went out to sell groceries, so how come her suitcase was missing when she came back?

"Um..." Xu Ruantang scratched her ear awkwardly, "It's at someone else's house."

She casually explained that with Xu Hanli and Chen Ji both present, it wasn't appropriate to discuss Qiu Liang's affairs.

Xu Hanli laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, come and have some candy!"

They tacitly avoided mentioning what had just happened, knowing she was being mischievous in front of Xiaobao and her godmother, and were afraid that revealing it would embarrass their sister-in-law.

Xu Ruantang looked at the large bag of candy, sat down, and asked in surprise, "You bought so much candy? Can you finish it all?"

These two grown men actually like to eat sweets?

Chen Ji poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, explaining, "These are for the people in the group."

"Yes, your marriage brings joy to us bachelors too."

Xu Hanli smiled and winked, watching Chen Ji's wife's behavior. "Tsk tsk, this candy tastes pretty sour!"

Xu Ruantang immediately became interested, "There are sour candies too? I'd like to try some."

Before she could pick them up, Chen Ji grabbed her hand. "Don't listen to him. He's lying to you. These are all very sweet."

Xu Ruantang didn't recognize it, but Chen Ji certainly did.

This person is being sarcastic and unhelpful.

Knowing that Xu Ruantang didn't like sweets, he quickly stopped her.

Xu Ruantang was stunned for a moment, then quickly pulled her hand away and put it under the table.

He thought to himself, "Is Chen Ji crazy? Does he have to put on an act in front of Xu Hanli?"

Drama queen!

She already said not to touch her!
