Become a stepmother and save the male protagonist of the painful literary school

The other party, an elite who can call the shots in the business world, has bowed his head and apologized, so she can't just ignore him.

Those words were all nice to hear.

"Some things are better said openly, so that we don't have to be suspicious of each other in the future. Only when a family trusts each other can they live in harmony and children can grow up healthily."

The subtlety in words cannot compare to what is in the heart. She said one thing but thought another.

It was impossible to let down your guard.

Letting down your guard against anyone is like throwing yourself into a fire pit. She died once because of a stupid letter, and she didn't want to die a second time.

It's just a superficial way of getting along.

For the mission.

“Well, regarding Xiao Mu’s education, I’ll need your help in the future.” The man’s dark eyes hid complex emotions, and his voice was low and solemn.

Somehow he uttered something like this:

"It's too tiring to obey all the arrangements. You are only 28 years old, right? If there is someone you like..."

He seemed to feel that this was too presumptuous, so he changed his words.

"If you want to dissolve the marriage, I'll agree anytime."

There was a flash of shock in Jian Yan's eyes.

How could he say such a thing?

You know, these words carry a lot of weight.

It is equivalent to saying that he has already given funds to the Jian family, but voluntarily gave up his own share of the benefits.

If someone else said this, she would just think that the other person farted on impulse, but he was Tong Ruixiao...

The authenticity of the words is very high.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

The other party didn't seem to want to continue talking, the topic was cut off here, and the atmosphere became stagnant.

She blinked and made a joke to lighten the mood, "How do you know I won't fall in love with you?"

Tong Ruixiao was surprised.

Almost the next moment, he suppressed his emotions and shook his head, "You and I are not the same age, there is a big difference."

She smiled.

How come this guy is so self-aware?

She was embarrassed to say it.

After thinking about it, I decided to give him some face. "Mr. Tong is not only successful in his career, but also has a handsome appearance and is polite to others. I still like him."

He listened to her smiling voice, his body stiffened for a moment, and then he covered it up calmly.

She crossed her hands out of habit, averted her sight and looked at the distant wall, her eyelashes trembling.

Although he was panicking inside, he pretended to be very calm on the surface.

His ears felt hot, but he still pretended to remain calm and frowned, as if he was rejecting something.

"Looking decent and not being rude to others, these should be something that everyone can do. Miss Jane's requirements are too low."

There is always a loophole in a perfect plan. The words spoken in a panic are different from usual and a little messy.

Jian Yan didn't realize that he was saying one thing and thinking another.

Hearing him say this, she recalled Si Yanchen's attitude towards her. Even when he said he liked her when they were teenagers, he didn't show much respect to her.

Always use love to kidnap her and treat her like an object.

Not everyone is polite to others, and many people are unwilling to even pretend to be polite.

I couldn't help but ask him, "Isn't there anyone who can do it?"

She even began to wonder, was it because the people around her in the past were disrespectful, or were the people in this world more polite?

I thought about it over and over again, but I couldn't figure it out.

In the end, I felt that it was his words that were strange.

Smiling, he asked, "Would you rather say that I have low standards than that I would like you?"

Although she really didn't like him.

"You can think of it this way. I put so much effort into Xiao Mu just to win your favor. That's very reasonable!"

Didn’t Tong Huaimu always say this? Didn’t his father hear it?

Being stared at by her pair of eyes as vast as the sea of ​​stars with a smile, the man's heart was beating like a drum, his face became more and more tense, and he uttered three words with his thin lips, "...You won't."

She couldn't believe how quickly her application was rejected.

"what?"

"Why are you so sure..."

Her quiet complaints didn't escape his ears.

Tong Ruixiao pursed her lips, "We are a partnership, not a marriage, you don't have to care about me at all."

Tong Huaimu was still young and didn't understand the pros and cons of this marriage, so he said such stupid things. He thought that it was because the Jian family was declining that Jian Yan married into the Tong family, and that she needed to rely on him to maintain it.

Little did they know that this was a business cooperation and both parties were equals. No one was inferior to the other.

I wouldn't be so confused about this kind of thing.

"Even so, if I fall in love with you the moment I see you on our wedding day and then do everything I can to win your favor, that's not wrong."

"It has nothing to do with marriage or not, right?"

Tong Ruixiao: "..."

He was a little angry.

She was really making fun of him, saying something so ridiculous.

Not to mention that he still hasn't felt that she has any thoughts about him, and she even cares more about Xiao Mu; just looking at the ages of the two, it's impossible.

Which woman would like a man older than herself when there is no need to choose to cling to someone for money, power or other benefits?

If he were in her shoes, and were to fall in love and get married normally, he would definitely choose a second marriage with a person of the same sex and of similar age in the same class.

Only incompetent and inferior men who covet young bodies would choose girls who are much younger than themselves. They are eager to make up for their aging hearts with fresh bodies, which is extremely dirty.

So when he was discussing the marriage between the two families with Jian Gang, as soon as he heard that Miss Jian was outstanding, highly educated and young, he knew that she must have a hidden illness or something, otherwise, with so many options in the world, it would be impossible for the Jian family to marry him, a widower with children.

How shameful.

Unexpectedly, she didn't have a hidden illness, but some unspeakable secrets...

It may not be a shocking thing in the upper class society, but it involves family ethics and human principles and cannot be made public.

After knowing this, he actually relaxed a lot.

No one is perfect.

If Jian Yan is really as bright and cheerful as he appears to be, then he will have to face a bigger conspiracy behind the Jian family.

In comparison, this was more acceptable to him.

It was a marriage between two families, and her love history, which was a huge stain on the Jian family, had nothing to do with him.

He took advantage.

When he agreed to the marriage, he had the goal of win-win cooperation rather than marrying a new bride.

The object of his second marriage is a woman who is much younger than himself. People always use vulgar words to evaluate him, such as "lucky in love" and other disgusting words.

Everyone in the circle knew that the Jian and Tong families were just a business marriage, but with their dirty thoughts, they would not think that the thorough contract of this marriage had nothing to do with the marriage between husband and wife.

Even complete strangers.

He didn't want to have anything to do with someone much younger than him, so he agreed on matters with her and signed a contract on the night of the marriage.

Do not interfere with each other's lives, do not infringe on each other's interests, live in your own room...

"Mr. Tong, are you angry?"

Jane Yan asked casually, frowning as she saw the man didn't respond to her question.
