Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

"Xu Jingjing, I've said we're sworn enemies. If you keep bothering me, don't blame me for being impolite," Shen Menghan said in a deep voice. If Xu Jingjing continued to pester her like this, even if she didn't seek revenge, she would still stick to her like a leech, which annoyed her.

“Auntie, we are family. It doesn’t matter if you hate me. I will never dare to have any objections to you. If you don’t want to see me, I will just go far away.”

Xu Jingjing said this, but her feet didn't move an inch.

"Shen Menghan, do you have to be so cold-blooded and ruthless? Xu Jingjing is injured!" Li Jing's voice rose several notches, unable to tolerate Shen Menghan's arrogance.

"Li Jing, she is my wife. You should call her sister-in-law. If you insist on scolding her, the Li family will not tolerate you." Li Zhicheng stepped forward and pulled Shen Menghan into his arms. He would not tolerate anyone who harbored ill intentions towards her!

"Zhicheng, you, she's in the wrong now! You have to have a limit to your protectiveness, okay?" Although Li Jing was not convinced by Li Zhicheng, he did not dare to go against him. He was able to get to where he was today because of the powerful background of the Li family, so how could he give up so easily?

"You can't tell right from wrong, and you dare to speak so arrogantly here? Take her and get out of my sight!" Li Zhicheng cursed. He didn't need to be subservient to others on his own turf. What a joke!

Li Zhicheng will no longer give him face; those who disobey him will never have a good ending!

"I... fine, I'll take her away." Although Li Jing was full of courage, he could only lower his head dejectedly. He could fully imagine the consequences if he offended Zhicheng because of Xu Jingjing.

Xu Jingjing originally thought that if she asked Li Jing for help, Li Zhicheng would at least give her some face, but she didn't expect that she would make a mistake. It seems that no one in the Li family's big villa can control him.

Should she really listen to Huang Ju? Was the only way out to win the old woman's favor? The thought of that strange old woman filled her with lingering fear.

"Auntie, I'll go back first. We can talk another day," Xu Jingjing said shamelessly, ignoring the other person's refusal.

"Anyone who dares to harass my wife, get out of the Li residence immediately." Li Zhicheng's eyes flashed with a fierce, cold light, and when he turned to Xu Jingjing, there was not a trace of tenderness in them.

Xu Jingjing didn't dare to respond, but she wanted to take this opportunity to make an impression on Li Zhicheng, so she smiled and said, "Uncle, I know my limits."

Shen Menghan sneered. If she knew her place, would she have come to provoke her? Did she think others couldn't see through her hypocrisy?

To save himself from both sides, Li Jing helped Xu Jingjing away, so as not to let her stay and cause trouble. Moreover, the more he looked at Shen Menghan, the more disgusted he became. He felt that looking at such a feigned weak and repulsive woman was an eyesore.

After finally seeing the two off, Shen Menghan walked into the house, with Li Zhicheng guarding her behind to prevent them from returning.

Xu Jingjing looked aggrieved. She walked slower and slower, and before she knew it, she began to sob.

Li Jing sighed and comforted her: "You don't need to be sad for a woman like Shen Menghan who is arrogant and shameless. She is favored by Zhicheng today, so she is arrogant. When Zhicheng stops liking her, let's see how she will act. You can seek justice for yourself then."

"Dr. Li, thank you. If it weren't for your treatment, I'm afraid I would have died long ago. Guowei and I wronged Menghan in the past, so it's understandable that she hates us. I just didn't expect her to be so heartless. We've been humbly begging for reconciliation, but she still ignores our sincerity."

Xu Jingjing choked up as she began to win over the hearts of everyone in the Li family mansion, from the masters to the servants. She tried every means to gain their sympathy. As long as people were on her side, it would be much easier for her to accomplish great things in the future.

"Guowei and I have a good relationship, and Zhicheng is not bad either. They are about the same age and should have a lot in common. However, many things have suddenly changed. The problem lies with Zhicheng. As you just saw, he didn't even give me face. I can't help you now, but I will try my best to help improve the deadlock between your two families."

Li Jing seemed to understand the greater good. He felt that Li Zhicheng was too domineering. If he were willing to let go of his prejudices, the two families could easily live in harmony. He wondered what Li Jing was so fixated on.

"Thank you, you're such a good person." Xu Jingjing showed a shy expression, and Li Jing took the bait—this was a very good sign!

Li Zhicheng and Shen Menghan went back inside. Shen Menghan first slumped onto the sofa, feeling extremely exhausted after Xu Jingjing's outburst. It felt like a heavy weight was pressing down on her head, and these trivial matters were seriously affecting her life.

"Aunt Li, is dinner ready?" Li Zhicheng called out to the kitchen.

"It'll be ready in about ten minutes," Aunt Li replied, poking her head out and staring at Shen Menghan. Seeing her like this, she looked extremely annoyed, as if her daughter-in-law were a lazy woman!

"hurry up."

Li Zhicheng urged him on.

"Okay."

Aunt Li thought to herself: Who knows when you'll be back? I'll start cooking the rice first, and now I need to stir-fry the vegetables too!

He sat down next to her, his dark eyes reflecting her exhausted expression. She clearly had no work, yet she looked like she was suffering terribly.

She looked up and met his gaze, then looked away again.

"Should we kick Xu Jingjing and the others out of the Li family?"

He asked softly, explaining that everything he was doing was so that she could live comfortably.

"No need," she said coldly. She felt it would be much more satisfying to take revenge herself, and she felt useless to rely on Song.

"Don't think too much. I believe they won't dare to come near our house again without permission," Li Zhicheng continued to reassure her. He was also uneasy because of her unstable emotions.

"Ah."

She responded helplessly. The matter was caused by her, and she also wanted to resolve it as quickly as possible.

Seeing that she was still not very energetic, Li Zhicheng thought he should let her rest for a while.

After returning home and having dinner, Qin Fengjiao had nothing to do, so she started searching for information online. She realized that to succeed as a host, especially one specializing in entertainment and variety shows, one needs sufficient acumen and insight. Furthermore, she lacked the necessary advantage when joking with others.

Who knew that even as the day drew to a close, news about Shen Menghan was still flooding the internet.

Her hand had just touched her phone, about to dial, when Li Jun's words to her came to mind: to find out the truth, she had to ask the people involved. But in this sensitive situation, wouldn't it be embarrassing for her to ask?

If Xiaohan wanted her to know the truth, wouldn't she have told her long ago?

She kept saying there was no real relationship, but she still felt that the whole thing was too suspicious.

Ring ring! Her phone suddenly vibrated, startling her! Who could be calling in the dead of night?
