After they got home, Jiang Jingchen saved the video he recorded today in his private mailbox.
Every time they went out and he took a video of her, he would write something about the video and their day, like he was keeping a journal.
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Jiang Xing.
He waited for a few seconds before he answered the call.
Jiang Xing immediately questioned him why he bullied his sister.
Jiang Jingchen’s handsome face instantly darkened.
“Where do I begin?”
Jiang Xing berated, “As her eldest brother, not only did you throw cow dung on your sister, but you also used earthworms to scare her. Xiaohua was so scared that she had to take medication. If she hasn’t lost weight, I wouldn’t have found out.”
“Jiang Jingchen, you knew that she was afraid of those things, but you still bullied her. You call yourself a big brother?”
Jiang Jingchen expected Jiang Minghua to tell on him but he underestimated Jiang Minghua’s tactics. She pretended to be pitiful to gain sympathy first before she exposed the matter and let Jiang Xing settle the score with him.
Did she think that Jiang Xing could do anything to him?
“I was just joking with her to teach her some common sense.”
“If she’s unhappy, she can always come to me. I’ll apologize to her. Why would she bother you with this? She’s not a child, why did she have to be a tattletale?” “You’re also an adult, yet you played childish games. Aren’t you also a child?”
“Jiang Jingchen, I don’t care where you are now. Come to the Jiang residence now and apologize to her!”
Jiang Jingchen turned to look at his wife whose face was filled with worry and laughed.
“Apologize? Okay, I’ll be over.”
Jiang Jingchen hung up the phone and turned to tell Tang Beibei that he was going out and would be back soon.
Tang Beibei took off her apron and ran over to catch him. “Hubby, I’ll go with you!”
Jiang Jingchen comforted her. “It’s okay. I’ll be back soon. If you’re worried, I’ll ask Song Zhou to go with me.”
“I want to go with you. Hubby, why do you like Song Zhou more than me?”
She was going to start wheedling.
He couldn’t refuse her if she started wheedling.
Jiang Jingchen said helplessly, “Okay, I’ll let you come along. But your clothes are too casual. Go and change into something more formal.”
“I’ll go and change now. Don’t leave without me.” Tang Beibei reminded.
Jiang Jingchen nodded. “I’ll wait for you.”
However, Tang Beibei still did not trust him. She was afraid that he would abandon her, so she snatched his phone away.
“I’ll hold on to this first. I’ll return it to you after I change my clothes.”
Jiang Jingchen laughed in exasperation and rubbed the top of her head. “You’re getting bolder now, huh? Dare to play tricks on me…”
“Go change now. Ruan Qi, please help her pick out something.”
After the two girls went upstairs, the smile on Jiang Jingchen’s face disappeared, and his gentle eyes became fierce.
He said to Song Zhou, “Since Jiang Xing is so free, call Yang Hao and ask him to find something for Jiang Xing to do. It doesn’t have to be something big. Just something to remind him that he’s going bankrupt.”
Song Zhou called Yang Hao and exchanged a few words with him. Yang Hao said that he and Wen Sang have also been preparing and they were just waiting for Mr. Chen to give the word before they exposed the matter.
Song Zhou hung up the phone and heard Jiang Jingchen ask, “Jiang Minghua likes to tattletale, huh? Help me dig up some dirt on her. Best if they come with unflattering photos.”
Song Zhou replied with a smile, “I may not be able to do that right away, but Young Master Zhou can. Young Master, why don’t you ask Zhou Xu?”
Jiang Minghua was studying in F-Country, and the city she was in was where Zhou Xu lived. Zhou Xu was also an entertainment tycoon. If anyone wanted to dig up dirt on noble young masters and misses, he could do it with just a few phone calls.
However, Zhou Xu was very arrogant. It was not easy to get him to do things.
Jiang Jingchen deliberated and then used Song Zhou’s phone to snap a few photos of pears and sent them to their chat group.
“Have you guys ever tasted pears that have been boiled, roasted or steamed? My wife is making some for me today!”
Han Yun replied.
Wei Teng typed, “Old Chen, I beg you. Show off your affection somewhere else. If you continue like this, I’ll leave the group.”
Zhou Xu added, “You’re always showing off but you won’t let us see a photo of your wife. Boring.”
Lu Chen echoed, “Mr. Chen, send us a photo of your wife. Let us see what kind of fairy she is.”
Jiang Jingchen sent a private message to Zhou Xu. “You want to see a photo of my wife? Sure. But someone is bullying my wife. Help me with something first?”
Zhou Xu clicked his tongue. “You showed off today just to annoy me, right? You were just waiting for me to respond. I knew it. Mr. Chen is full of schemes.”
“No matter how many schemes I have, you’ll still see through me. Are you going to help me or not?”
“Yes. How can I not help when someone is bullying my sister-in-law? You’ll torture me to death if I don’t help anyway.” Zhou Xu teased.
“What do you need? Tell me.”
“Help me investigate the third young miss of the Jiang family. I want to dig up dirt on her, the kind that won’t allow her to find a boyfriend in the future.”
“The third young miss of the Jiang family?”
Zhou Xu mocked, “A member of the Jiang family, your half-sister. Tsk, what a heartless fellow.”
“I need it fast.”
Zhou Xu replied, “I’ve already called someone to investigate. What did she do it to your wife?”
Jiang Jingchen said, “She’s going to make trouble for my wife. I’m taking precautions.”
“Sigh. I pity your half-sister for having her evil plan strangled in the cradle. It’s really miserable to have an elder brother like you.”
Jiang Jingchen sneered. “Didn’t you teach the ten or more siblings of the Zhou family a lesson too?”
This Zhou family was also a legend.
Fourteen siblings were fighting over the position of the Zhou family heir, over the family assets worth hundreds of billions of yuan.
Zhou Xu successfully became the heir because of Jiang Jingchen’s help.
Jiang Jingchen heard footsteps and passed the phone back to Song Zhou. He turned his head and saw Tang Beibei coming down the stairs in a light pink dress.
The chiffon A-line dress cinched at the waist accentuated her curvaceous figure. Because she was fair-skinned, the pink color added points for her and made her look even more flashy.
It was a dress the female lead wore to a ball in a movie.
He thought it was a nice dress and asked Song Zhou to order one for her. When Tang Beibei wore it, she didn’t look any worse than the female lead in the movie.
“Hubby, isn’t this dress a bit too flashy?”
Ruan Qi grumbled, “You should look flashy when you are going back to the Jiang residence. Otherwise, the people there with eyes on top of their heads will look down on you even more.”
Jiang Jingchen saw Tang Beibei’s tied up hair, light makeup with pale pink lips, which made her look younger. She looked like an innocent pixie who had accidentally descended into the mortal world.
“It’s good to be a bit flashy.”
Tang Beibei made a twirl as she said, “It’s my first time wearing this kind of dress. It’s really pretty. Hubby, Qiqi said this dress is very expensive. How expensive is it? A few thousand yuan?”
Song Zhou hurriedly tugged at Ruan Qi, who shrugged. She only said that it was very expensive, but she did not mention the price.
Jiang Jingchen also gave Ruan Qi a look and said unhurriedly, “Not a few thousand.”
It was more like tens of thousands of yuan.
Tang Beibei heaved a sigh of relief. “I’m not particular about clothes. It’s fine as long as the quality is good and it’s durable.”
“Yes, I’ll only buy good quality clothes from now on.”
Song Zhou’s mouth twitched. Their clothes were all custom-made. Which one of them was of bad quality?
Tang Beibei could never imagine how much her husband squandered on couture for her!
After the couple drove off, Song Zhou said to Ruan Qi, “Don’t mention the price of Tang Beibei’s clothes and accessories in the future. It won’t benefit us if we make Young Master unhappy.”
Ruan Qi pouted. “I was only lamenting.”
“Who knew that Jiang Jingchen has such a weird hobby? He bought Beibei the same dress as in the movie. The clothes and accessories in that movie are all branded. Although Beibei’s dress didn’t have a tag, she would find out sooner or later.”
“If she found out, just tell her that it’s a high-end imitation, or an A-grade knock off. As long as it’s not too expensive.”
“Tang Beibei cares about these things. She will be upset with Young Master if she finds out. Can we live peacefully if Young Master is angry? Don’t even think about it!”
Ruan Qi had no words.
Were they so rich that they couldn’t show it?
Weren’t they tired of pretending all the time?
But she still wouldn’t provoke Jiang Jingchen!
