Chapter 34: Your Wife is His Girlfriend!

The inside of the Jiang residence was furnished with all kinds of Chinese antiques. Every piece of furniture or decor was rare and precious.
Tang Beibei pushed Jiang Jingchen into the living room. She looked around quickly and saw a maid standing there. When the maid saw Jiang Jingchen’s face, she was so shocked that she gasped and ran away.
Tang Beibei’s face darkened. She couldn’t help but sneer at Jiang Minglang, “It’s so easy to make a living working for the Jiangs. Your servants don’t even need to work. They are just here for vacation.”
Jiang Minglang understood her sarcasm and laughed instead of getting angry. “These servants are new here and have no manners. I’ll reprimand her later. Since you know the rules so well, let’s not stand on ceremony and make me a cup of tea.”
He was mocking Tang Beibei.
Asking Tang Beibei to make tea for him wasn’t just frivolous, it was rude.
Tang Beibei was his eldest brother’s wife, not his servant. Why should she make tea for him?
Jiang Jingchen looked up at his brother and said, “You want to drink tea? Song Zhou, pour him a cup of tea!”
“Yes.”
Song Zhou agreed. He poured a cup of hot tea and brought it to Jiang Minglang.
“Second young master, you are welcome. Would you like to help yourself or do you want me to feed you?”
Jiang Minglang saw Song Zhou walking over commandingly, his hand holding the teacup a little red. It was obvious that the tea it contained was very hot. Jiang Minglang frowned and took a step back.
“Song Zhou, I don’t want to drink your tea. Scram!”
Song Zhou chuckled. His young master was already in a bad mood, but Jiang Minglang insisted on provoking him. Why would the young master let him off? “Second young master, didn’t you want to drink tea? I’ve poured some for you. Why don’t you want it now?”
Song Zhou was about to hold his neck to pour the hot tea into his mouth.
“Let, let me go! This is the Jiang residence. You can’t be arrogant here!”
Jiang Minglang wasn’t a weak man. He actually knew some mixed martial arts techniques. However, his brief encounter with Song Zhou made him feel that he was no match for Song Zhou.
Otherwise, he would have grabbed his wrist and held him down.
Jiang Minglang was very self-aware in the face of danger. He retreated cautiously and maintained a safe distance from Song Zhou.
This was the Jiang residence and not Jiang Jingchen’s house. They should think twice before acting impudently.
“No matter where you are, you can’t ask my young madam to pour you tea. Do I need to remind you of such simple manners?” Song Zhou sneered.
Jiang Minglang was furious. “It was just a joke, why so serious? You even want to scald me. How dare you!”
“You!” Song Zhou wanted to continue but an angry roar came from the second floor.
“Impudence!”
A teacup was quickly hurled at Song Zhou.
Song Zhou dodged it nimbly, but the teacup shattered on the floor with a piercing sound and shards flew everywhere. Tang Beibei covered her ears.
Jiang Jingchen held her arm and patted her back to comfort her.
“It’s okay, no need to be frightened.”
Tang Beibei looked at the broken pieces on the floor and felt a lingering fear.
If the teacup had hit Song Zhou’s head, his head would have shattered.
Who was so vicious?
She looked up at the second floor. There was an older man in his fifties standing there. Although he had wrinkles on his face, his hair was jet black. His eyes were so cold. He was like a ferocious wild wolf that could kill its prey with just one bite.
The old man glanced at her indifferently before he retracted his gaze and walked downstairs unhurriedly.
“You don’t come home often, yet you make ruckus when you come home. Is your brain damaged from all the recuperation?”
Tang Beibei was furious at the unkind scolding.
But Jiang Jingchen was familiar with the old master’s attitude. He cleared his throat and said with a smile, “My body is broken, so you assume my brain is broken too. However, someone’s brain isn’t too sharp either, so I asked my people to wake him up.”
Jiang Minglang said quickly, “Father, I was just joking with that woman and big brother lost his temper. He’s being overbearing.”
Old Master Jiang frowned slightly and gave his son a look. He was bullied and he complained to his father even when he was in his twenties. Did this boy have no shame?
Old Master Jiang sat down, and his butler quickly brought him a pot of tea.
Old Master Jiang drank a cup of tea before he looked at Tang Beibei.
He drank hot tea, but his tone was very cold.
“What’s your name?”
Tang Beibei was stunned and pointed at herself with uncertainty.
“Are you talking to me?”
Old Master Jiang snorted. “Is there any outsider I don’t know here apart from you?”
Outsider. The old master did not aclmowledge her as his daughter-in-law.
It was going to be a tough battle, Tang Beibei thought.
However, when she thought about a patient like Jiang Jingchen facing his mean relatives, she felt sorry for him.
“My name is Tang Beibei. I’m Jiang Jingchen’s wife.”
The old master looked at her sharply. “Who’s the woman Minglang arranged for Jingchen to marry to you?”
His question confused Tang Beibei.
Was he settling the score with her?
“… Cousin.”
“Why did you skip over your cousin and marry Jingchen?” The old master asked.
“That’s because…” Tang Beibei wanted to explain that she was forced into the marriage by the Rong family. However, if she said that and the old master got angry, he might make Jiang Jingchen divorce her.
Besides, if she said that she was forced to marry Jiang Jingchen, she might hurt him too.
Who would want to hear his wife tell others that she was forced to marry him? It would hurt his self-esteem too much.
She blinked, looked at Jiang Jingchen and then said, “That’s because I like Jiang Jingchen. When I learned that my cousin didn’t want to marry him, I married him without hesitation so I could be his wife and take care of him.”
“You like Jiang Jingchen?”
Old Master Jiang sneered and looked at the hideous scar on one side of his face.
Girls liked good-looking men, but Jiang Jingchen was obviously not good-looking.
“What do you like about him?”
“I, I like his gentleness. He’s knows how to be nice to people. I don’t care about the scars on his face.”
“When I looked into his eyes, the heavens told me that I must marry him. It’s destined and can’t be explained.” Tang Beibei made up some nonsense and said with a straight face.
Jiang Jingchen looked at Tang Beibei in surprise when he heard her say that she liked him.
When he asked her before, she ran away shyly. Now, she was so brave in front of so many people.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. If was a small smile but not unnoticeable.
Song Zhou’s eyes widened in surprise when he saw his young master smiling.
Tsk, people said that women have mood swings. They obviously hadn’t met his young master.
His face was covered in dark clouds and mist before, but now, because of Tang Beibei’s bold confession of love, it was like a hurricane had blown away the dark clouds, revealing the warm sun.
Jiang Minglang couldn’t take it anymore and scolded, “Tang Beibei, how can you tell my father such nonsense?”
To prove what she said, Tang Beibei held Jiang Jingchen’s hand.
“My husband and I are deeply in love. How is that nonsense? Jiang Minglang, as our younger brother, shouldn’t you wish us well?”
“You…” Jiang Minglang wanted to continue arguing but the old master waved his hand, telling him to stop. Jiang Minglang could only shut his mouth.
Old Master Jiang could tell that Tang Beibei was a woman with a sharp tongue.
He said, “It you want to take care of Jingchen, quit school and take care of him full time.”
Tang Beibei’s expression changed, and she let go of Jiang Jingchen’s hand.
“I’m a medicine student. Learning medicine will allow me to take better care of my husband.”
Old Master Jiang sneered, “Aren’t you just dating other men in school, waiting for Jingchen to die and then remarry?”
“No, I’m not!” Tang Beibei retorted angrily.
How could this old man slander her like that?
Jiang Jingchen also frowned. He looked at Old Master Jiang and said, “Father, you need evidence for your words. Only mad dogs bite people randomly.”
At this moment, Jiang Minglang laughed sarcastically and said, “Big brother, the young master of the Lu family, Lu Fan, has admitted to everyone that your wife is his girlfriend!”
