Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 38: What Can Be Tolerated and What Cannot_1

Feng Haoyu’s tone was condescending, boasting and threatening all at once.

Put simply, he could easily transfer Xiao Ming to a different position, or make it so that Xiao Ming couldn’t even be a laborer.

Jiang Xue failed to catch on, her face brimming with joy, "Is, is that okay? Wouldn’t that be too much trouble for you, Minister?"

Although she didn’t mind Xiao Ming being a laborer, that didn’t mean she didn’t hope for better opportunities for him.

"To you it might be trouble, but to me, it’s just a simple gesture."

Jiang Xue’s gratitude made Feng Haoyu somewhat smug, "Besides, you’re my trusted aide. If I solve your worries, you can focus on solving mine, right?"

There was no mistaking it, his words had crossed into outright flirtation.

Jiang Xue couldn’t fail to understand now, and she suddenly realized why her husband had made such a joke earlier.

Feng Haoyu was going too far!

Seeing Xiao Ming’s gaze growing colder, Jiang Xue, afraid he would cause trouble, hurriedly said, "Then, thank you, Minister Feng, we’ll treat you to a meal another day. That’s settled, Xiao Ming, we’ve still got things to do at the company. We’ll be going ahead, you finish up and come home early."

Knowing his wife’s concerns, Xiao Ming suppressed his anger, smiling and nodding, "Okay. Don’t work too hard."

When she reached the car, Jiang Xue hesitated, retracted her hand from the passenger door, and instead opened the back door, and then looked back.

Xiao Ming certainly understood that she was indicating her relationship with Feng Haoyu was purely professional, so he gave her a big smile.

Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief and ducked into the car.

Her husband still understood her, and she felt reassured.

Looking at the woman’s reflection in the rearview mirror, the corners of Feng Haoyu’s mouth turned up coldly.

He wasn’t some greenhorn to the world; he could tell Jiang Xue had become cautious of him.

But he wasn’t worried about that at all, after all, women are led by their emotions.

When she felt wronged and her husband was out laying bricks; when she was in trouble and her husband couldn’t muster the money; when she fancied a dress that cost a month of her husband’s salary...

If at these times, there’s a high-quality man by her side, could the outcome be anything different?

Jiang Xue, be proud of your looks! That I would spend so much effort to play the long game with you, is your honor!

Back at the company and sitting at her desk, Jiang Xue couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

The hardships of life left her with little room to maneuver, forced to endure her boss’s coveting and pretend not to notice, she avoided confrontation whenever possible.

Although her husband was truly making changes, the income of a laborer was destined to be limited.

For their child, she couldn’t afford any mishap with this job.

Petting her face, Jiang Xue gathered her spirits and became fully engrossed in revising her design draft.

After an indeterminate amount of time working, she got up for a coffee break and overheard someone mention her name at the door of the break room, instinctively stopping in her tracks.

"Did you know? Jiang Xue’s husband is just a laborer."

"What? Really? Jiang Xue has the looks and the figure. She could have any man she wanted, why marry a laborer?"

"Please! She’s just good at pretending. I heard that her husband didn’t even have a job before, and was a hopeless gambler, the kind even dogs would disdain on the street."

"Is that true? Then... then why would she be with him?"

"Why? It’s for the sake of appearing noble, of course! The world is full of gold diggers, yet she sticks with that loser husband, unwavering. Doesn’t that make her seem much more pure and chaste? If you were a man, wouldn’t you be moved?

Just look at the guys from our company, which one hasn’t been charmed by her? And that’s just on the surface. Behind closed doors where we can’t see, who knows what’s going on.

Let me tell you, she’s just fishing there, that’s what I call a pro!"

The venomous words were like knives cutting into Jiang Xue, standing outside; they made her so angry she could barely control herself.

She had always striven to be kind to others at work, believing in the adage that accepting losses was a blessing. Even if she felt wronged, she rarely got into arguments.

It was normal to hear gossip about her unsuccessful husband, and she had grown accustomed to it, but she never expected her marital loyalty could be twisted into such vile interpretations.

How could people’s hearts be so filthy?

This was intolerable!

Jiang Xue took a deep breath and was about to enter, when someone grabbed her arm; she turned to see Yang Hanqing’s face, cold as frost.

"You can’t win an argument with these kinds of people."

With that, Yang Hanqing had pushed open the door to the break room.

"What, you’ve got nothing better to do? The company doesn’t have enough work to do, so we don’t need to keep all you folks around, right?

You’re all young ladies, how come you gossip like old women at the village gate, with tongues too long for your own good? Need me to help trim them down for you to make some cold salad?

Does spreading rumors about others please you that much?

If it does, then I truly pity you, and I pity my company for having such spineless employees!" ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Yang Hanqing’s voice was loud, and since the door to the break room was open, the employees from several nearby departments could all hear, all craning their necks to see who had gotten the boss so angry.

"Chattering during working hours, slandering colleagues, spreading rumors—I’ll let you off with just docking this month’s bonus as a warning to others. Don’t let it happen again.

Any objections?"
