“My wife is your sister-in-law. She pranked you and you want to throw sulfuric acid on her?”

Jiang Jingchen chuckled. “The law is impartial. It’ll be too late for regrets when they arrest you and lock you up for 10 years!”

He said it so righteously that Fang Han smiled.

If Jiang Minghua really threw acid on Tang Beibei, would Jiang Jingchen just send her to prison?

She wished!

He would definitely torture her until she wished that she was dead!

Jiang Minghua was speechless. She was so angry that she felt dizzy. She looked at her miserable self and left angrily.

Jiang Jingchen stretched out his long leg to stop her. “We haven’t settle this thing yet. Why are you rushing to reincarnate?”

“You…”

“Beibei, tell me what happened.”

Tang Beibei said quickly, “I went to the front desk to ask them to tap me in, but they wouldn’t let me in.”

“Then Jiang Minghua came and spoke to me. I wanted to give her the coffee I was going to give you, but my hand trembled and I accidentally spilled coffee on her.”

She even looked at Jiang Minghua apologetically and said, “I apologize to you. Please forgive me. It was you who didn’t want to let me in and said that I’m a country bumpkin in-law who will never be accepted by the Jiang family.” “Tang Beibei, you’re talking nonsense. Your hand didn’t tremble. You threw coffee on me on purpose.”

Jiang Jingchen said, “Even if my wife did it on purpose, she isn’t wrong!”

“Jiang Jingchen, you…”

“Tang Beibei is my wife. She’s the first young madam of the Jiang family. Although I’m not yet the head of the family, the eldest sister-in-law in the family is like a mother. She’s your elder, yet you scold her.”

“Do you think that my wife likes to come to this sh*tty office? It’s only because I work here.”

“Since you don’t welcome her here, I’ll also stop coming too. I quit!” Jiang Minghua looked at him in shock. With so much drama at the company and her father being sick now, it was the best time for a successor to take over Jiang Corporation.

And Jiang Jingchen actually wanted to quit? What was wrong with his brain?

Or was he per Wu Rui’s assessment: a piece of trash with no ambition?

“You’re leaving Jiang Corporation because of a woman?”

“Why should I stay here when Jiang Corporation doesn’t welcome my wife?

Wait to celebrate new year with the people here?”

Tang Beibei frowned when she heard the man say that he quit. “Are you really resigning?”

“Yes!”

Tang Beibei bit her lip and held his arm. With a cold face, she said to Jiang Minghua, “My husband has resigned. Whether you accept it or not, he doesn’t want his salary anymore. You can stop thinking about bullying him!”

Jiang Minghua was more than happy to let Jiang Jingchen go.

She would have no competition after he left. She just needed a nod from her father to get the management rights to Jiang Corporation.

“I won’t make him stay. He’s a good-for-nothing!”

Tang Beibei was furious when she heard Jiang Minghua insult her husband again.

“Every dog has its day. Jiang Minghua. My husband has skills. He’ll definitely not do worse than you. Just you wait!”

Jiang Minghua replied disdainfully, “What dog and what day? You can really talk big. Who is Jiang Jingchen to compare himself to Jiang Corporation? Castles in the air! Since he has resigned, both of you should get lost now!” Tang Beibei gritted her teeth. She was really angry and wanted to scold Jiang Minghua back, but Jiang Jingchen stopped her.

“Let’s not argue anymore. It’s meaningless even if we win.”

“She will regret her actions someday. Let’s go.”

Tang Beibei glared at Jiang Minghua. “Jiang Minghua, you are going to have a stomach upset tonight and pimples on your face tomorrow!”

“… Childish. You actually end the conversation with a curse like a small kid, huh?”

Jiang Minghua walked away to take care of the coffee spill on her with disdain all over her face.

Tang Beibei followed Jiang Jingchen out of the office building. Fang Han asked her with a smile, “You’re too cute to even think of cursing her like that.”

Tang Beibei replied with a serious face, “It wasn’t a curse. There’s a basis for what I said. I’ve advised Jiang Minghua to go for a check-up before, but she wouldn’t listen.”

“The pimples on her lower lip are symptoms of her digestive problems. If she had sought treatment and changed her eating habits then, her health could have improved. But I bet she continued to eat spicy food. I’m not sure if it’s so easy to restore her health now.”

“She’s using makeup to cover things up, but it’s not a sustainable solution. Her skin is oily, and her hair gets oily easily. Her condition has worsened. More symptoms will pop up in the next few days.”

Although Fang Han didn’t quite understand what Tang Beibei said, she was quite impressed.

Tang Beibei then said, “Fang Han, you should rest more too. The dark circles under your eyes are quite bad and your eye bags are getting worse. The fine lines around your eyes as well as your eye bags can be treated.”

Tang Beibei then looked at Fang Han’s wrist and placed her fingers on her pulse.

She said slowly, “If you continue to stay up late, your period will be affected and your mammary glands will swell.”

“… Hmm.”

“It’s treatable. If the swelling gets worse, the likelihood of getting breast cancer will increase. In terms of gynecology, you have to… Mmm.”

Tang Beibei was about to say more when Fang Han covered her mouth.

“We’ll talk about that later.”

Fang Han looked at Jiang Jingchen with a pleading expression. “Please take your little doctor away!”

Jiang Jingchen hugged Tang Beibei and chuckled happily. “My wife is giving you a free consultation and you don’t appreciate it. How ungrateful!”

Of course, Fang Han appreciated it, but she had idol baggage.

She also felt embarrassed when Tang Beibei said all that in Fu Jin’s presence. Especially when Tang Beibei said that she had fine lines. She was only 24. years old, but she already had fine lines. She might as well stab her in her face. “Beibei, you can tell me more next time. I have a date with Fu Jin. Bye now.” Fang Han pulled Fu Jin towards her car and asked him, “Do you know that the woman you had a crush on is so naive?”

Fu Jin chuckled softly. “Yes. She isn’t just naive, she’s also very silly. But she has a kind heart and a very warm smile.”

Fang Han clicked her tongue and pointed at herself. “Your current girlfriend is here, Mr. Fu Jin. Please look at me.”

Fu Jin looked at her. “Little big sister Fang Han, you asked me and I answered frankly. What did I do wrong?”

Fang Han clenched her fists. “You are such an insensitive straight guy. Don’t you know that it makes me jealous when you know her so well?”

Fu Jin held back his laughter and said, “Feel like eating vinegar? It can soften blood vessels. Come, I’ll take you to eat dumplings!”

They couldn’t continue this chat anymore.

On the other side, Jiang Jingchen brought his little wife to his car and raised his eyebrows at her all-dressed-up appearance.

“You came to the office just to bring me coffee?”

Tang Beibei retorted with a little embarrassment, “What else would I be doing?”

Jiang Jingchen clicked his tongue and scratched her chin. “How much was that cup of coffee?”

“Thirty yuan!”

She felt a pinch when she mentioned the price of the coffee.

That coffee was so expensive!

Jiang Jingchen could tell from her expression that it was more than coffee. She was a thrifty person who was so stingy that she would think long and hard before she bought a milk tea. Why would she spend 30 yuan on a cup of coffee? “Fu Jin bought it for you?”

“Ah, how did you know that?”

Jiang Jingchen was secretly glad that he didn’t drink it or he would have choked.

However, Tang Beibei said, “I don’t take advantage of my friends. I’ve already transferred 30 yuan to him. I’m afraid that he won’t accept it on WeChat, so I also tried Alipay.”

“Haha. Should I be rewarding you for your wit?”

“There’s no need for that. You’ve known about my wit for a long time. There’s no need for open praise.”

Jiang Jingchen thought in his heart, was he even praising her?

No, he was mocking her for not only having Fu Jin’s WeChat, but also other contact methods!

He didn’t want to talk anymore because he would vomit blood sooner or later.

He started the car to take her to lunch.

Tang Beibei consoled him. “We should celebrate your resignation from Jiang Corporation. You don’t need to put up with their bullying anymore. The next job you find will be better, with kinder co-workers!”

Jiang Jingchen pinched her cheek. “You’re quite optimistic. Aren’t you worried that you’ll need to support me if I can’t find a job?”

Tang Beibei thought for a bit and shook her head. “You are so smart and familiar with so many productivity applications. And you are quite good at contingency planning.”

“It’s fine too if you don’t want to work.”

“Fu Jin said that I can now take part in a much bigger dance competition. I can even debut after I win. I heard that it’s quite lucrative to be an artiste nowadays. I’ll let you spend the money I earn.”

Jiang Jingchen’s heart softened a little when he heard the little woman praise him and said that she would support him.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll turn bad if you let me spend your money?”

“You can’t do that!”

The woman’s face immediately turned serious as she said, “Although we didn’t get married by choice, we still have to abide by the rules of marriage since we’re husband and wife.”

Jiang Jingchen’s caressed her cheek. “There are many ways to be bad. Not just having other women on the side, Obedient Beibei.”

Tang Beibei’s little face was almost flattened from his caress, but she wasn’t angry. Instead, she counted with her fingers as she said. “Eating, drinking, whoring, gambling. It’s fine to eat and drink, but you can’t go whoring or gambling. They are not good for you because they’ll hurt you physically and mentally.”

“Okay. Continue.”

“There’s also a process when a person turns bad. If you think that you’re on the path, it must be because I haven’t done a good job as your wife. I’ll need to reflect on it too.”

Jiang Jingchen looked her in the eye. “Oh. Obedient Beibei, are you still angry with me?”

“Angry about what?”

He suddenly leaned in. Tang Beibei blushed and looked at him in confusion.

“It’s good that you’re not angry.”

Jiang Jingchen happily pecked her on the lips. “If you’re still angry, I’m going to turn bad.”

The man then commented, “Obedient Beibei, I’m scared of myself when I’m bad.”

Tang Beibei gulped. “Hubby, are you threatening me?”contemporary romance

“It’s not a threat. Just a reminder.”

“A reminder that I’m going to do something bad to you tonight!”
