Contract Bride, the power game of misplaced love
Chapter 168: Suppressing a Smile
Li Zhijian rolled his eyes and tried to stop the carriage.
Aunt Sun shook her head, looking disappointed. "No, I came to see Zhi Jian. I'm so poor, and she raised me."
Xiao Yuheng looked at Li Zhijian with a half-smile. How could he have the right to pity others when he couldn't even survive himself?
Li Zhijian didn't like this smile, she touched him with her hand: "Why are you here?
Xiao Yuheng was so angry that he almost jumped out of his chest. He even raised his voice on purpose: "With so many people watching, why are you moving around?"
Li Zhijian really wanted to strangle him to death. This guy was embarrassing him.
Shen Jinxi walked towards him with an angry look on his face, "Xiao Yuheng, are you bored?"
Xiao Yuheng frowned, his voice filled with resentment: "My dear hero, what do you want from me?
"Stop teasing my Zhi Jian. Can you please stop teasing my Zhi Jian?"
Xiao Yuheng leaned close to Li Zhijian's ear and said, "I've already told you that she likes you. What do you think?"
Li Zhijian narrowed his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "Go away, stop showing off to us, we don't want to take your car."
Aunt Sun came out quickly and comforted him, "Zhijian, you are such a good person. We have been waiting for so long and haven't found a taxi yet. How about we ask him to give us a ride?"
Xiao Yuheng also stepped forward and said softly, "Grandma, you go in first!"
The old lady looked at Li Zhijian, somewhat hesitantly. The young man was very handsome, but there was a hint of familiarity between his brows.
Xiao Yuheng looked at Li Zhijian who was motionless and could only say: "I'll give you one more second. If you want, then wait. There will never be another opportunity like this in the future."
Li Zhijian was about to decline, but after hearing what Huo Jinyao said, he immediately changed his mind: "Okay, let's take the bus."
She can afford to wait, but her grandma is old and can’t afford to wait any longer. She can endure a little hardship, but she cannot let her grandma suffer any injustice.
Everyone got on the bus and grandma sat in the front seat.
Shen Jinxi gave him a fierce look before turning around and getting into her car.
Speechless all the way.
"Young man, what is your name?"
"Grandma, I'm Xiao's too." Xiao Yuheng said politely.
"Hey, Xiao?"
"Yes, grandma, you have to educate her well. That child is very fierce." Xiao Yuheng spoke with effort, trying to get closer to her.
Unexpectedly, when Li Zhijian was mentioned, grandma's face darkened: "If anyone says something bad about my girl, it would be unfair to me."
Before Xiao Yuheng could complain, his grandmother came to his defense. His expression suddenly turned ugly. "Oh, sorry. I was just talking about your baby."
Shen Jinxi rolled his eyes and said gloatingly, "Haha, you flattered me pretty well."
In Xicheng, a car drove over.
Zhou Qinghe was already waiting on the side. When he saw Xiao Yuheng's car, he rushed directly to his car and opened the door for him.
Seeing so many people, she smiled and said, "Xiao Ling, you are really amazing. Our boss came personally to help you move the house."
Xiao Yuheng was just trying to help, but he didn't expect that as soon as he got out of the car, Li Zhijian would whisper, "Boss Xiao, please help us. These are all girls. Can you carry them?"
This was the first time that Li Zhijian asked him for help, in front of so many people. If it weren't for his grandmother, Xiao Yuheng could have completely ignored her.
Grandma is her closest friend and she has to make a good impression in front of her.
After thinking for a while, he nodded, "Okay, my labor costs are very high, can you afford it?"
Li Zhijian smiled and said, "I'll prepare a pickled fish for you later."
Shen Jinxi picked up some food and pouted, "He won't leave the fish for him."
Li Zhijian nudged Shen Jinxi with his elbow and whispered, "Why not do hard labor for him?"
"I'm so annoyed with you, can't we just take it slow?
In addition to work, Xiao Yuheng also exercises, but he seldom does simple physical labor, so he tries his best to behave well in front of his grandmother.
The apartment in Xicheng is very different from the previous one. Aunt Sun likes it very much. She pointed to the garden and said, "I really hope you live in your own home."
Li Zhijian smiled and said, "Aunt Sun, if I could work here, I would stay here forever."
While Xiao Yuheng was busy, Aunt Sun whispered, "No one can predict what's going on at home, but is your eldest brother married?"
Li Zhijian saw through her thoughts and quickly said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. She's a married woman."
"Zhijian, actually, I also wanted to marry you here before, but we haven't found one in Leshan. Otherwise, you would be a good match. Leshan is a good guy too. He will definitely love you. But I haven't found one yet, so I want to find a good in-law for you."
As Li Zhijian packed up, he said, "Aunt Sun, don't worry. We'll talk about it when Brother Leshan comes back."
Aunt Sun started crying when she mentioned Meng Leshan: "It's my fault, it's my fault. If I hadn't done such a cruel thing, she wouldn't have left us."
"Aunt Sun, don't do this again."
Xiao Yuheng packed up all his things and was about to sit down when he saw Aunt Sun crying. He whispered, "Sister-in-law, do you know what she did to you?"
Aunt Sun wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Brother, you are making fun of me. I miss my child very much. I don't know where he has gone. Is he okay?"
Whenever Aunt Sun mentioned her own child, she did the same thing as Xianglin Sao, repeating it again, regardless of whether anyone else heard it or not.
Xiao Yuheng sighed and said, "It is indeed difficult to find someone, but I have a way."
When Aunt Sun heard that it was Xiao Yuheng who helped, she immediately excitedly pulled his hand and said, "My benefactor, you are such a good man."
Xiao Yuheng felt pain, but Shen Jinxi tried hard to suppress her smile.
It was a long time before Aunt Sun let him go.
Xiao Yuheng said confidently: "Aunt, don't worry, I promised you that I would find him."
Li Zhijian stepped forward, took the phone, and turned on the audio. "Can you repeat it again?"
"What?"
"I'm afraid you'll go back on your word."
Xiao Yuheng stared at her. Today, he listened to her in everything and was just waiting to see when she would punish her.
After moving, Li Zhijian started preparing meals.
Xiao Yuheng said he wanted to help Aunt Sun find her child, and she talked to him happily.
Aunt Sun kept on talking about which girl in the village was going to get married, which man was useless, and all the gossip. Only then did Xiao Yuheng fall into a deep sleep.
Li Zhijian came out of the kitchen and was about to get the seasoning. Seeing this, he quickly said to Aunt Sun, "Come and help." Shen Jinxi picked up the rice and said with a bit of sarcasm in his tone, "Li Zhijian, you care about him so much, are you afraid of disturbing his sleep?"
"Hey, Shen Jinxi, are you blind? He worked so hard today, so let's not have any prejudice against him. He was really unexpected today. I thought he would refuse, but he turned out to be like an office worker without any shyness."
"Tsk, don't make excuses for him. Everything he did was justified."
"Why?" Li Zhijian asked puzzledly.
"Idiot, how could you do this? As her wife, if he doesn't help you, is he still a human being?"
"Xiao Xi, what nonsense are you talking about?
Aunt Sun asked, "What are you talking about? Whose girlfriend are you talking about?"
Li Zhijian rolled his eyes at Shen Jinxi and said with a smile, "Aunt Sun, we are talking about the TV series, not the real things."
Aunt Sun asked in confusion: "Didn't I tell you that you are talking about her boss? She is a very good person."
Xiao Yuheng leaned against the door frame and smiled, "Yes, I am very kind."
