Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract
Chapter 34 Who insulted her?
"Uncle." Xu Jingjing feigned a pitiful appearance, thinking that she was not bad-looking either, and if it came down to skill, Shen Menghan would be no match for her.
“Honey, if she really wants to do it, we can make her clean the toilet.” Shen Menghan said, reaching up to climb onto Li Zhicheng’s neck, her breath tickling his chin.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jingjing's expression changed drastically. She looked at Shen Menghan with a livid face. She never expected that Shen Menghan would think of making her clean the toilets!
"Xiaohan, I'll listen to you." Li Zhicheng tried hard to suppress his laughter. He really didn't know Xu Jingjing could come up with such a thing!
“Uncle, Jingjing is your niece-in-law. How can you save face if you make her use the toilet?” Li Guowei quickly chimed in, thinking that he would also lose face.
"What does she have to do with me? If you really want to work at Li's, report to the cleaning department tomorrow and work as a toilet cleaner on the ninth floor."
And the ninth floor is where Li Guowei works! Imagine Xu Jingjing going to the restroom while Li Guowei, her husband, sits in his office – Li Zhicheng couldn't wait to imagine this scene.
"Honey, I... I think we should go back and think about it some more, Uncle. Thank you."
Xu Jingjing grabbed Li Guowei and they ran away!
"Oh dear, these fruits have worms in them, honey. Let's throw them in the trash so they don't get sick!"
Shen Menghan's voice was quite loud; they could still hear her clearly even when they reached the door! She deliberately wanted them to hear.
"Honey, why aren't you moving faster? Are you waiting to be humiliated again?" Xu Jingjing walked incredibly fast, as if she had wings.
“I have short legs and can’t walk fast,” Li Guowei retorted irritably.
"Yeah, it's because you're not tall, only 1.7 meters, while others are 1.8 meters tall," Xu Jingjing said sourly.
"Xu Jingjing, what do you mean? Are you looking down on me now? If you're so capable, then walk out of the Li family's door and we'll get a divorce." Li Guowei was increasingly dissatisfied with Xu Jingjing. Seeing that she still dared to express so much dissatisfaction with him, he was truly filled with regret.
"That's not what I meant. You misunderstood me. Wasn't I just insulted by Shen Menghan? Let's go quickly, don't embarrass ourselves here." Xu Jingjing had no choice but to plead in a humble voice. She had finally married into the Li family, how could she just get a divorce like that? If she really wanted to get a divorce, she would find someone better than Li Guowei before she did!
"Hmph, I bet you wouldn't dare." Li Guowei sneered. He was well aware that Xu Jingjing's family wasn't much better off than Shen Menghan's.
Through the crack in the French windows, Shen Menghan saw that Xu Jingjing and the others had already gone far away. She immediately withdrew from Li Zhicheng. The play was over, and she should also make a graceful exit. She had gotten revenge on Xu Jingjing, and she felt extremely satisfied.
She never knew she could be a hero in words, and seeing the two of them fleeing in disarray, she felt she had the victory in her grasp.
"Xiaohan, you're so naughty. How did you come up with the idea of making Xu Jingjing clean the toilets?" Li Zhicheng looked at her with a smile. Now the situation has changed. It's not that he doesn't want to offer Xu Jingjing a job, it's that she herself is unwilling to do it.
"Xu Jingjing has always been lazy and loves to steal other people's things. Making her clean the toilet is practically the death of her. Do you think she would joke about her own life?" Shen Menghan analyzed for him. She and Xu Jingjing did have a good relationship. At that time, Linglong had reminded her that Xu Jingjing was very ambitious and scheming, and told her to be careful, but she did not take it seriously.
It wasn't until she learned her lesson that she realized she had been distracted while Linglong was talking, which was why she had fallen so hard.
"You don't want to take the initiative?"
"I don't need to look for her. I'm afraid she's already impatient to get rid of me. Just wait and see." How could she not know Xu Jingjing? Judging from her tone just now, she probably can't swallow it. I just don't know what kind of vicious scheme she'll come up with to frame her.
"How about I give you two bodyguards?"
"No need, I, Shen Menghan, am not that fragile."
"Then you pay attention to safety."
"Ah."
Shen Menghan ignored him and went upstairs alone to find clothes, take a shower, and prepare for bed.
Li Zhicheng lay on the sofa, turned on the TV to watch financial news. While others might be resting, he still had to work. To those who didn't know, he would just think he was watching the news, but he was trying to glean insights into the industry's prospects.
"Dad, Uncle is unwilling to help. Can you help us think of a solution? Or should you go and talk to him?"
After returning, Li Guowei recounted what had happened, and then he and Xu Jingjing stayed together, waiting for their parents' assistance.
Li Dahai cursed, "He's clearly bullying people! Is he really willing to let Shen Menghan manipulate him? He's so spineless! She's just a woman, does he have to obey her every word?"
"Exactly! Shen Menghan is a second-hand item that Guowei didn't want, but he treats her like a treasure. Has he lost his mind?" Li Guowei's mother, Huang Ju, also joined in the slander against Li Zhicheng.
Xu Jingjing chimed in, "She's just a hypocrite, all talk and no action."
"Jingjing, why don't you go and ask her for help? If she helps you, you can go straight to work in the general manager's office."
But Huang Ju suddenly changed the subject and came back to her.
"Mom, we're like oil and water. She wishes I were dead, so why would she help me? If she hadn't been there just now, Uncle might have agreed to help me. She was the one who egged me on." Xu Jingjing pushed all the blame onto Shen Menghan.
“That’s right. If she hadn’t been talking nonsense, how could Uncle have ignored us like this? Mom and Dad, if you can’t control him, talk to my uncle and ask him to discipline him.” Li Guowei came up with a solution: “If Uncle knew that he had suddenly gotten married, he would definitely come back.”
"Are you stupid? Your uncle handed over the entire Li family business to him to manage. He said back then that he would no longer be involved in anything, so there's no point in us going to find him." Li Dahai glared at his son, saying that his brain just wouldn't work.
"You'd be better off asking your great-grandmother, Jingjing. If you're going to be more ambitious and get pregnant soon, she'll definitely help you." Huang Ju said, glancing at Xu Jingjing's stomach. She and Guowei had been together for over a year, so why hadn't she gotten pregnant yet?
"Mom, Guowei and I will discuss this properly," Xu Jingjing said awkwardly. She didn't want to get pregnant so soon, because maybe she and Li Guowei wouldn't be able to stay together.
She needed to leave herself a way out; if she had a child, it would inevitably become a stumbling block for her in the future.
Before marriage, she might have been deceived by Li Guowei, but now that she knows enough about the internal relationships of the Li family, she hesitates and can't easily gamble away the rest of her life.
Li Guowei, who has nothing, is not worthy of her entrusting her life to; that is not the happiness she seeks.
"Guowei, don't you two plan to have a baby now?" Huang Ju seemed to have sensed Xu Jingjing's thoughts and immediately stared at the two of them.
Li Guowei quickly tried to smooth things over: "Mom, we just got married, don't push us so hard, we'll put this on the agenda."
"Let me tell you, if you want to compete for the Li family's assets, you must have children early and have many children." Huang Ju had given Xu Jingjing an ultimatum.
