Chapter 1552 My True Love is You
Chapter 1552 My True Love is You
Li Jingchen's sharp gaze shot over.
"If someone wants to lay a hand on you, wouldn't they have to consult the almanac and pick an auspicious day? Well, you two are compatible according to your birth charts, one of you is in the south and the other in the north. Didn't the fortune teller say that you two are destined for each other?"
Jiang Tong looked speechlessly at the man with his arms crossed. Whenever he got angry, he would make sarcastic remarks to her!
But how did he know?!
Li Jingchen said irritably, "When Xu Miaomiao came to settle accounts with me, she said that the fortune teller had predicted your marriage! He's your destined partner, and I'm not. She told me to quickly make way for you and this guy surnamed Feng. And you're still standing up for her!"
Jiang Tong said, "I just said it was for you. You are such a good, outstanding, and unparalleled person. How could you be a violent maniac? He said those things about you. I couldn't stand it. How could I not come over and show off how good my husband is to me?"
Li Jingchen's expression softened slightly, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved upwards. Jiang Tong continued.
"And who said he's my destined partner?"
"Isn't you my destined partner?"
“Your house is located just north of mine. Even after I moved to Ziwei Garden, your house is still north of mine. Besides you, who else could be such a good match for me?”
If you say no, then forget it.
Li Jingchen quickly replied, "Yes. Your destined partner is indeed me, and it can only be me."
Jiang Tong looked away from the window without saying a word.
Li Jingchen changed the subject, his voice softening slightly, "You said you were near the Jiang family's, but you didn't even bother to make a phone call? You could have at least called your dad, if not me."
Jiang Tong remained silent. Li Jingchen noticed the slight upturn of her lips and then realized what was happening.
Okay, very good, it was intentional.
She has me completely under her thumb...
He took out his phone. "I'll call your dad now and tell him about what happened today."
“No,” Jiang Tong quickly turned to the man beside her, “Don’t tell my dad.”
"I'm going to tell your dad this time, let him judge the matter, and let him give you a good scolding."
"No, my dad won't scold me."
However, Jiang Tong was concerned about her image and didn't want Yuan Gang to worry about her.
She tried to snatch his phone, but Li Jingchen reacted quickly by raising his arm, which angered her so much that she stomped on his foot.
"I won't do this again."
"Really?" Li Jingchen thought to himself, "This sounds so familiar. Let's see if you dare to do it again next time."
The driver couldn't help but peek at Li Jingchen through the rearview mirror and saw a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Li Jingchen looked over and said calmly and formally, "What are you looking at? Raise the partition."
"Okay, Mr. Li..."
After blocking the driver's view, Li Jingchen put his arm around Jiang Tong's waist and sighed helplessly.
"Okay, please don't do this again next time. Don't act alone again. It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I'm afraid you'll be in danger and I won't be there to protect you in time."
Jiang Tong nodded.
"I see."
Seeing this, Li Jingchen didn't say anything more. He didn't want to argue with her for a long time like before.
He held her hand, their fingers intertwined tightly.
After Jiang Tong returned home and had dinner, she saw the news about her.
Several media outlets praised her as a good daughter-in-law and reported that she and Zheng Yan went shopping and had meals together, showing a harmonious and happy relationship.
If it weren't for the blurry photo that didn't look like her at all, Jiang Tong would have almost thought she had lost her memory.
When did she go shopping with Zheng Yan?
Can't even think about it.
Jiang Tong went to ask Li Jingchen, who was changing clothes. As he took off his clothes, he said, "Why would I show my wife's beautiful back to others for them to admire?"
"That photo isn't of me, do you think they'd believe it?"
"With so much news, no one is going to nitpick; everyone just looks at the slogans."
He lay half-reclined on the headboard, his voice low and deep, “Now that I’ve got the mainstream business media reporting it, everyone will think that you and Mom have a harmonious relationship.”
Jiang Tong said "Oh," indicating that she understood.
In the afternoon, several classmates called her, inexplicably saying nice things and asking her to plead for them and help them out in the future. What's going on here?
"The people I ate with today are your classmates who married well, their husbands."
Why did you invite them to dinner? Are you here to discuss business?
"Talk to them? They're not qualified."
Li Jingchen continued, "Why do you think they dare to talk about you? It's because their husbands turn a blind eye. They think I'm about to collapse, that I'm finished..."
"Today I'm just giving them a heads-up. They want to kill me? They need to train harder. If they're not happy, they should just keep quiet."
Jiang Tong understood. So that's why her classmates were calling her and being so nice to her.
Li Jingchen said meaningfully, "To shut up those who criticize you, you need strength. If you don't have the strength to make them fear you, no matter how you explain, they won't listen to you."
Therefore, Li Jingchen resolved the reason for Jiang Tong's anger in the simplest way.
Jiang Tong said, "Then why didn't you resolve this sooner? Why did you have to drag it out until now..."
Li Jingchen said helplessly, "You went to Beijing without looking back. I thought you weren't coming back and were going to divorce me. Who knew you were just testing me?"
Jiang Tong snorted, "Never mind, at least the matter is resolved."
This way, she can stay in the Southern Capital with peace of mind.
Li Jingchen asked her, "What are you going to do about Xu Miaomiao?"
Jiang Tong said, "I've already demoted her and had someone else take her place so she can manage Nan Tong. Miao Miao agrees with my decision. I'll transfer her back once she performs better."
Jiang Tong had her own way of handling things, and Li Jingchen didn't say anything more, only reminding her that one should always be wary of others.
Jiang Tong hummed in agreement and sat down beside him, her long legs casually stretched out. "...After what happened with Wang Ying, I thought I should be more careful, but I didn't expect Zhang Yun to be like that too."
She really doesn't have many people she can trust.
Li Jingchen said meaningfully, "Friends who grew up together may still have some affection, but friends who met later in life and haven't known each other for long are most likely to turn against each other for personal gain. If the relationship wasn't deep to begin with, and you're driven by self-interest, who will remember your kindness? What do you think?"
Jiang Tong couldn't refute it. In fact, she could understand it. If there were no conflict of interest, who would have the time to scheme?
"I'm tired, I'm going to take a shower."
Li Jingchen quickly sat up in bed to check on the child first, otherwise, hearing the noise from the bathroom, he would be tempted to go in and shower with her.
He quickly put the child to sleep, and his wife finished showering. Soon it would be just the two of them...
The night is still long; he will take his time.
.........
Two days later.
Jiang Tong heard from Xu Miaomiao that Luo Yubai had broken up with that woman named Feng Xiaoxiao.
