It was merely the second day of their marriage, and Jin Xue already felt trapped in a stifling environment amidst the Jiang family. It seemed like a treacherous dragon’s lair and a ferocious tiger’s den.

With her almond-shaped eyes slightly lowered, Jin Xue stole a glance at Jiang Yu from the corner of her eye. His face remained devoid of expression, his dark eyes concealing inscrutable emotions. It was clear that she couldn’t rely on him for help. There was no point in counting on him at all.

Jin Xue ceased her intimate gestures towards Jiang Yu, distancing herself from him.

“I have already stated my stance. No matter how much you pressure me, my answer remains the same,” she asserted firmly.

Jiang Cong glared at Jin Xue, his stern voice questioning, “Is this the attitude you choose to adopt?”

Unable to contain her anger any longer, Jin Xue locked eyes with Jiang Yu’s grandfather and lashed out, “What is wrong with my attitude? Are all of you in the right? I have only just entered the Jiang family, and you demand that I give up my job. You even suggest that if I fail to bear a son, another woman will replace me. Is it fair for you to say such things? Do you consider me a mere object?”

Jiang Cong erupted in a furious roar, the veins on his forehead pulsating. “You fail to recognize your mistakes and yet you believe yourself to be wronged?”

Jin Xue’s eyes sparkled with fiery determination as she shouted back, “I haven’t done anything wrong! You are subjecting me to this ordeal, yet you deny me the right to refuse. You are the epitome of rudeness and unreasonableness!” Ultimately, she could always seek a divorce. Who cared about remaining in the Jiang family?contemporary romance

Enraged, the old man summoned the bodyguards, intending to expel Jin Xue from the premises.

Jiang Yu’s hawk-like gaze burned fiercely as he held tightly onto Jin Xue’s hand, causing the bodyguards to hesitate, their fear preventing them from forcefully removing her.

“Grandpa, the Jin family cannot compare to the Jiang family. There are numerous customs and rules that Jin Xue has yet to grasp. She is new to the family and requires time to acclimate. We have just married and are still on our honeymoon. Please understand our needs. I have heard that excessive pressure is detrimental to conception,” Jiang Yu interjected, frowning as flames continued to dance in his sharp eyes.

Jiang Cong’s brow furrowed, his sharp gaze still aflame. “Quit your job tomorrow! You must consume the Chinese medicine prescribed by Doctor Tian. If you fail to conceive within a year, you will face the consequences.”

This was simply too much!

Jin Xue could no longer bear it!

Her face flushed red with anger.

Before she could unleash her fury, Jiang Yu’s cold stare warned her to remain silent.

“Grandpa, I am usually occupied with work. If Jin Xue doesn’t have a job, I fear her imagination will run wild. How about this? If she becomes pregnant, I will have her resign immediately for proper rest and care.”

Jiang Cong snorted coldly, glaring at Jin Xue. He rose from his seat and ascended the stairs, his countenance still frosty.

In the living room, only Jiang Yu and Jin Xue remained.

In an instant, Jiang Yu released Jin Xue’s hand and regarded her with a cold gaze.

“Go take a walk in the garden. I need to discuss something in the study.”

Jin Xue and Jiang Yu exchanged a serious gaze before her voice laden with solemnity piped up, “Are all the members of your family like demons?”

Jiang Yu did not answer Jin Xue, but a hint of a smile glimmered in his dark eyes.

After a 40-minute wait, Zhang Baochan received the Chinese medicine.

Subsequently, she met Zhang Baoshan and swapped all the medicine Jin Xue was to consume.

“You are nourishing that wretched girl’s body with tonic? Sister, she is not your biological daughter. How can you treat her so kindly?”

Zhang Baochan smiled slyly. “This is a contraceptive pill. That wretched girl has no right to consume the tonic I so meticulously prepared. This contraceptive pill possesses a chilling effect. Even if she miraculously conceives, it will inevitably lead to a miscarriage. If taken for an extended period, it can even induce infertility. Naturally, I won’t allow any competition for my future daughter-in-law, let alone allow this wrench to bear the great-grandson of the Jiang family.”

Zhang Baoshan’s dark smile mirrored his sinister intent. “Sis, that’s a brilliant move!”

Zhang Baochan’s expression was smug. “The old master has spoken. If she dares to refuse the medicine, she will offend him. If she fails to bear a son, she will offend the entire Jiang family. Jin Xue will be expelled sooner or later. The successor of the Jiang family can only be my son, Jiang Yun.”
