A Beloved Wife in Marriage-Chapter 2

From Now On, We’re Even

Back then, when Madam Jiang found out that she and Jiang Yanshen had secretly went to register their marriage, she was so angry that she splashed a cup of hot water on her face. If not for her dodging in time and the hot water splashing in front of her, her face would have been ruined.

Now, she had only returned a bowl of bird’s nest to her. They were even. It was considered letting her off easy.

“Ah—”

Madam Jiang jumped up in shock. Li Ruzhu hurriedly stood up and wiped her with a tissue. She was flustered and exasperated. “Lin Qingqian, are you crazy?”

Lin Qingqian took a step back and smashed the bowl onto the floor, scaring Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu.

“Indeed, in the past, I must have had some kind of mental illness. That’s why I endured in vain to try to live with a mean and evil mother-in-law like you, and this white lotus scheming bitch. Now—”

Her voice paused for a moment, and when it sounded again, it was clear and firm. “I’m sorry, but I’ve recovered from my mental illness. From now on, I’ll mind my own business, and you will do the same. If anyone takes the initiative to provoke me, don’t blame me for being rude.”

After saying that, she ignored Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu’s comical appearances of jumping up and down in anger and left elegantly with her luggage.

The ride she had booked was already waiting at the door. Seeing her come out, the driver got out enthusiastically, took the suitcase, put it in the trunk, and opened the door for her.

Lin Qingqian took one last look at the place where she had lived for seven years. There were too many memories of her and Jiang Yanshen here, and too many heartaches and grievances…

If she could, she did not want to step into this place again for the rest of her life.

Lin Qingqian got into the car and reported her destination.

Halfway through the journey, the silence in the carriage was suddenly broken by a song—

“May there be a tree in this mountain that is of interest to you. Last night, the stars were just like you. Your body was unparalleled, but there was a spiritual rhinoceros in your heart…”

Lin Qingqian’s heart suddenly constricted, and a heart-piercing pain instantly spread to her limbs and bones. This was the exclusive ringtone she had set for Jiang Yanshen. In the past seven years, she had only hoped to be in love with him and be connected to him.

At this moment, the song sounded especially mocking.

She smiled self-deprecatingly and ignored the buzzing phone. After a while, the call automatically ended.

Jiang Yanshen was a person with a bad temper and poor patience. If she did not pick up his call, he would definitely not call a second time…

The phone vibrated again, interrupting her thoughts.

It was still Jiang Yanshen.

She was a little surprised, but more than that, she felt sad. In seven years, this was the first time he had called her twice in a row.

Was it because Madam Jiang had called him to complain about her? In the past, even if Jiang Yanshen called and scolded her, she would answer the call happily as long as she could hear Jiang Yanshen’s voice.

This time, she chose to throw her phone and cards out of the car window, as if she was digging Jiang Yanshen out of her heart.

The driver couldn’t help but gasp when he saw her actions in the rearview mirror.

If he didn’t see wrongly, she seemed to have thrown out the latest phone. It had just been listed and was priced at tens of thousands. She threw it away without blinking?

If not for the fact that he was on a job, he would have stopped the car to pick it up.

He looked at the rearview mirror again and saw the indifferent-looking woman curled up into a ball.

Faint sobs came from the silent carriage.

England. London.

Jiang Yanshen sat at the long conference table. His black eyes were narrowed, and his face was getting uglier and uglier. His fingers holding the phone were pale.

This seemed to be the first time she had not picked up his call.

The dozen or so executives sitting on both sides of the conference table looked at him carefully. They felt that he was not clutching his phone, but their hearts, which were about to be crushed at any moment.

Someone looked at Lu Yuan for help. He was one of Jiang Yanshen’s special assistants and the person who understood Jiang Yanshen’s thoughts the best.

When Lu Yuan saw Jiang Yanshen’s expression, he knew that something must have happened to his wife. He tactfully looked down and focused his mind.

“Pa!” Jiang Yanshen suddenly put down his phone and looked up. “Lu Yuan.”

“Director Jiang,” Lu Yuan immediately replied respectfully.

“Get the nearest flight back to Lan City.” A deep manly voice rang out domineeringly.

“Yes.” Lu Yuan immediately called to book a flight back to Lan City.

“Director Jiang, this financing case…”

Before a certain executive could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold voice. “I’ll give you three more days. When I come back, I want to either see a perfect financing plan or your resignation letter.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and buttoned his suit. He left without even giving them a glance.
