Xu Ruantang finally breathed a long sigh of relief after he went inside.
I had just leaned back on the sofa when I gasped and quickly sat up straight.
Xu Ruantang had never seen Chen Ji look like this before.
She didn't react for a moment. Thinking of his cold face and how he did such a horrifying thing without any expression, she felt a little scared.
It's unclear whether Chen Ji is pretending not to know Xu Ruantang's little scheme, or if he truly doesn't.
In the past, when Xu Ruantang slept at night, she always liked to turn her back to Chen Ji, and Chen Ji would embrace her from behind.
Xu Ruantang washed up first tonight. Because of her back injury, she just took a quick shower and lay down feeling uncomfortable.
She was lying on her side because of an injury on her back.
After washing up, Chen Ji came upstairs, turned off the light, and went to bed as usual.
Xu Ruantang lay motionless when a rustling sound came from behind her, and a large, warm stove instantly drew near.
"Wife, turn around."
Chen Ji's voice was deep and warm; just by listening to it, Xu Ruantang knew he was in a good mood.
In the darkness, Xu Ruantang pursed her lips and slowly turned around.
Chen Ji gently pulled her into his arms. "Does it hurt?"
Xu Ruantang wanted to say that she actually didn't like sleeping with her head on Chen Ji's arm because it made her neck uncomfortable.
But today she had a brain fart and blurted out, "If you stay away from me, it won't hurt."
Chen Ji finally realized that something was wrong with her.
As a result, Chen Ji got out of bed, turned on the light, and spent a long time doing ideological work with Xu Ruantang.
Xu Ruantang found it hard to explain why she sat beside Chen Ji without saying a word the whole time; it was because she trusted him.
Chen Ji gave her no chance to explain, stubbornly believing that she was afraid of him because of his behavior today.
It's hard to say for sure; she was just disgusted by him, disgusted by his overly muscular physique.
......
The next day, news of what the Cheng family had done spread throughout the compound.
After Cheng's mother fainted at the Chen family's house yesterday, she has been staying in the hospital, and her condition is said to be quite serious.
As for Cheng Dan, for some unknown reason, she didn't even go to see her sick mother, instead staying at home the whole time.
Even for the burns on her body, she didn't get the medicine herself; instead, the family's housekeeper went to the clinic to get the ointment.
As soon as Xu Ruantang stepped out, she was met with concerned voices all around her.
"Chen family daughter-in-law, is the injury on your back alright?"
“Sister Ruan Tang, I have a folk remedy from my hometown that can remove scars on the back. It’s very effective. I’ll get it for you later.”
"That woman from the Cheng family is too vicious. How dare she? The Chen family and the Cheng family are not that different. Was your father-in-law furious yesterday?"
"I heard that when Deputy Brigade Commander Chen met the Cheng family, he threw a kettle of boiling water at them? That's so satisfying! That's how you deal with people like that. I'll give this to Deputy Brigade Commander Chen!"
The man gave Xu Ruantang a thumbs-up.
The consequences of Cheng Dan's previous arrogance were now fully evident.
When Cheng's father left the Chen family, he made some threatening remarks.
Every day when Chen Ji came home from get off work, Xu Ruantang would look him up and down and then subtly ask him if he had anything to do that day.
Chen Ji knew what she was thinking, so he simply reassured her.
"Honey, don't take what he said to heart. Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters. I'll be fine."
Just as Xu Ruantang's heart had settled down, trouble broke out at the Chen family's place.
She had just arrived at the lotus pond when she heard the news.
Li Shuhe, holding her stomach with one hand, saw Xu Ruantang's anxious face: "Ruanruan, quick! Go to the hospital!"
