Chapter 403: Hubby, Did You Have A Fight With Song Zhou?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the study of Jiang Jingchen’s villa…

Jiang Jingchen asked Song Zhou about the investigation on Jiang Minghua.

Song Zhou said, “Jiang Minghua is studying management abroad at University of Hull. Her grades aren’t bad, and she’s been accepted for a post-graduate degree at the same school.”

“She’s on vacation now and is doing some fund management with her mother. She seems to be doing quite well there too.”

“It’s very likely that Song Yan wanted her to get some experience working with the foundation first. After some achievements, she would get Jiang Xing to agree for Jiang Minghua to join Jiang Corporation.”

Jiang Jingchen asked, “What about her love life?”

“Jiang Minghua has had three boyfriends. The first one was a local who went to University of Hull with her. She later fell in love with a foreign guy. She broke up with her first boyfriend and dated the foreign guy for two months before they broke up.”

“After that, she pursued a male celebrity and broke up with him after a few months.”

Jiang Jingchen sneered. “So, she’s in a lull period now?”

“Not really. I heard that she’s gone on dates with the son of the foundation chairman. Song Yan has only one daughter, so she will definitely pick a son-in-law who can help her take over Jiang Corporation.”

Jiang Jingchen said casually, “Oh? Break them up.”

“Alright.” Song Zhou nodded.

It was Jiang Minghua who didn’t stay in line and made things difficult for them. Of course, he wouldn’t let her live in peace.

“Can you find out why she came to look for me today?”

Song Zhou replied, “We didn’t ask at the time. However, Jiang Minglang is asking to be discharged from the hospital to recuperate overseas.”

Jiang Minglang knew too many people in the country. Once they heard that he had become a eunuch, they would not say anything out loud but they would still talk about him.

Jiang Minglang was arrogant and would definitely use the excuse of recuperating to avoid those people.

“Okay, keep an eye on him.”

After Song Zhou left, Jiang Jingchen contacted Yang Hao to ask about work.

Yang Hao suddenly said, “Mr. Chen, you actually turned over cow dung for your wife. You’re really going all out!”

Jiang Jingchen gritted his teeth. Only Song Zhou could tell them this.

He shouted Song Zhou’s name loudly.

Song Zhou’s shoulders trembled, and he quickly ran downstairs.

Jiang Jingchen said to Yang Hao, “I’m proud to have a wife.”

“You’re so proud that you turned over cow dung?” Yang Hao held back his laughter.

“Mr. Chen, I have nothing against cow dung. I just think that your sacrifice was too great. Would you really bend over backward for your wife?”

The great young master of the Jiang family had grabbed cow dung with his hands for a woman. Just the thought of it made Yang Hao feel unjust for the young master.

Jiang Jingchen chuckled. “To Mr. Yang who doesn’t need to turn over cow dung or bend over backward for anyone, I will double your workload this quarter. Young people who have not been beaten up by society need to experience the hardships of life before they can understand the meaning of hard work.”

“No, Mr. Chen…”

Jiang Jingchen didn’t want to listen to his nagging and hung up.

He opened their group chat, found a few videos and his friends’ comments about him and clicked his tongue.

He went downstairs to find Song Zhou.

Three days without teaching him any lesson had made Song Zhou bite the hand that fed him!

However, he did not see Song Zhou downstairs. He asked Silent Sister, who pointed outside and then pointed at the kennel.

She meant that Song Zhou had taken the two dogs out for a walk.

Jiang Jingchen sneered. Song Zhou could run but he couldn’t hide. He’d just have to wait and see!

He asked Silent Sister to wash some cherry tomatoes and brought them upstairs to the dance studio.

Inside the dance studio…

Tang Beibei was practicing while Ruan Qi was recording a video for her. Seeing that Jiang Jingchen was there, Ruan Qi stood up to leave.

Jiang Jingchen and Tang Beibei were too sticky together; she didn’t want to see their lovey-dovey.

But Jiang Jingchen stopped her at the door and said, “Take out your phone.”

“Why?”

Ruan Qi was a little afraid of him.

Although she was puzzled, she still obediently took out her phone.

Tang Beibei felt strange and walked over. “What’s the matter, hubby?”

Jiang Jingchen ordered Ruan Qi, “Send a message to Song Zhou. Tell him that your stomach hurts.”

“Huh?”

Ruan Qi frowned. “Young Master Jiang, are you trying to trick my husband?”

She seldom called Song Zhou her husband. She said the word very protectively this time.

“I’ll give you two choices. Do you want to message him, or should I?”

Ruan Qi had no choice. She opened Song Zhou’s WeChat and said, “Hubby, my stomach hurts.”

Jiang Jingchen threw Ruan Qi a cherry tomato. “This is your reward. You’re welcome. But you can’t leave yet.”

“…?”

Ruan Qi caught the cherry tomato, but she didn’t dare to eat it for fear that it had been poisoned by Jiang Jingchen.

“Hubby, did you have a fight with Song Zhou?”

Jiang Jingchen pursed his lips nonchalantly as he picked up a cherry tomato and stuffed it into Tang Beibei’s mouth.

“What can we fight about? I washed some cherry tomatoes for you. Eat.”

A few minutes later, they heard dogs barking downstairs. Xiaoan and Xiaokang ran back with Song Zhou.

Song Zhou walked around downstairs but did not find Ruan Qi. He hurried upstairs.

Panting heavily, he pushed open the door of the dance studio and walked quickly to Ruan Qi.

“Ruan Qi, what’s wrong with your stomach? Do you need to go to the hospital?” freew(e)bnovel

Ruan Qi saw that he was sweating profusely, and her heart ached as she helped him wipe his forehead with a tissue. “I’m fine. Young Master Jiang was just pranking you.”

Song Zhou was stunned and turned to look at Jiang Jingchen.

Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows at him. “It’s impolite not to reciprocate.”

Song Zhou was so angry that he wanted to swear. He held Ruan Qi’s hand and walked out.

Ruan Qi stopped walking after they left the dance studio and looked at Song Zhou worriedly.

“What is your young master doing?”

Song Zhou was so angry that he smiled bitterly. “I took a video of young master moving cow dung in gloves and sent it to our chat group. The others must have made fun of him, so the young master put the blame on me and tricked me as revenge.”

Ruan Qi patted his arm with heartache. “Your young master is such a jerk. It’s not like you made fun of him. Detestable!”

Song Zhou hugged her and grunted in grievance. “My wife is still the one who loves me. Miss Ruan, call me hubby again.”

Ruan Qi was a little embarrassed and pursed her lips in silence.

Song Zhou sighed pitifully. “I almost broke my legs running. I was so scared that something happened to you.”

Ruan Qi’s heart softened. “Hubby, I’m sorry. I lied to you.”

When Song Zhou heard her call him hubby, he was so happy that he was willing to run a few more kilometers.

Birds of a feather flock together. Jiang Jingchen was so two-faced. How could Song Zhou, who spent all day with him, be any better?

Inside the dance studio, Tang Beibei was practicing when the man suddenly hugged her from behind. She turned her head in surprise, but before she could speak, he pressed his lips against hers.

He hugged her waist and pressed her against the mirror. The mirror felt cold and she wasn’t used to it and struggled a little.

“Hub… Mmm.”

“Obedient Beibei, what do you smell on me?”

Tang Beibei panted and sniffed his neck. “You smell of our shower gel, lime!” 𝒇𝒓𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝙢

Tang Beibei smiled and sniffed herself. “I smell like you, but I also smell like sweat now after dancing.”

Jiang Jingchen also sniffed her body. He didn’t just smell lime, but also a faint fragrance of her shampoo. He chuckled and said, “I also want to smell like sweat.”

“Sure. Just exercise for a while.”

“Are you going to exercise with me?”

“No, I… Mmm.”

He wanted her to exercise with him. He didn’t need to explain but just wrapped his arms around her slender waist.

The next day, Tang Beibei got up and went to the bathroom. When she saw the bite mark on her shoulder, she finally understood why Fu Jin said her husband was born in the year of the dog.

He loved to bite people, and every time he bit, he would leave a bite mark.

She went downstair after washing up, and got a call from Fu Jin.

Fu Jin said that he had a job and asked her to go to the studio..
