First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space

193 Why did this man Enjoy making her Safekeep Things?

Lu Jiao thought about the man she saved. He was rather handsome and he also had a rather extraordinary mannerism. Who knew he was actually a f*ck boy? If he got hurt again, she would not save him.

Inside the carriage, Xie Yunjin continued, “That man told me just now that he suffered from amnesia and had forgotten about Chen Ying. Recently, he was pierced by an arrow, and that injury somehow brought his memories back. He told me he is sorry for what happened to Chen Ying.”

Xie Yunjin asked Lu Jiao, “Do you find his words believable?”

Lu Jiao was in awe. Wow, what he described was the plot of a classic drama. As for whether or not that man was lying, time will tell.

“We will have to observe. Since you recognized him, you will run into him again. If he truly did lose his memory, people around him would know about it. If it was true, then there’s nothing you can do. If he lied…”

Lu Jiao shut up. Based on how wealthy that guy appeared, there wasn’t much anyone could do even if he did lie.

Xie Yunjin’s face turned cold, “If he lied, I will avenge Chen Ying.”

Lu Jiao couldn’t help but silently exclaim how deeply in love this man was.

That wasn’t her business though.

Lu Jiao closed her eyes to nap. Xie Yunjin studied her and he felt like the way she looked at him was strange.

“Lu Jiao, what was the meaning of the look in your eyes just now?”

“What do you mean?”

“You seemed to sympathize with me. What did I do to receive your sympathy?”

Lu Jiao snorted, “You’re overthinking.”

Xie Yunjin wanted to say more but Lu Jiao abruptly turned her head away from him.

Xie Yunjin continued to study the resting woman and wondered about all the possibilities as to why she pitied him.

Once the family finally arrived home, Lady Ruan came over.

“Xie Sangou, hurry up and give me the indenture that sl*t Wang signed. I am going to sell her.”

Lady Ruan screamed at the gate.

Xie Yunjin heard the screams and his first instinct was to look at Lu Jiao. Lu Jiao glanced between Lady Ruan and Xie Yunjin, dumbfounded.

What Xie Yunjin saw was first dumbfoundedness, then suppressed laughter from Lu Jiao. His face dropped and he turned to Lady Ruan, “Mother, what are you saying?”

Lady Ruan burst in and pointed at Xie Yunjin in fury as she yelled, “Hurry up and give me the indenture she signed. I am going to sell her.”

Lady Ruan gritted her teeth as her desire to kill that widow, no, that sl*t, intensified.

That woman made her lose face and also stole her man. Xie Laogen no longer listened obediently to Lady Ruan because of the other woman. He also warned Lady Ruan that if she hurt Widow Wang, he would leave her.

Lady Ruan went crazy thinking about what he had said and wanted to kill Widow Wang right there and then. However, the widow had Xie Laogen’s protection and Lady Ruan couldn’t win the fight. Right now, nobody in the family helped her.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She was most disappointed in her youngest son, who didn’t step up to help her either.

What Lady Ruan did know was that the widow signed an indenture and the family had the right to sell her.

This was what Xie Lan told her. The moment Lady Ruan found out, she ran over here to ask Xie Yunjin for the indenture.

At the front of the house, Xie Yunjin coldly stared at Lady Ruan, “What do you want with Widow Wang’s indenture.”

Lady Ruan screamed angrily, “I am going to sell her.”

Xie Yunjin declined instantly, “I cannot give you the indenture. No matter how poorly Widow Wang behaves, she remains my father’s concubine. Without his approval, I cannot sell my father’s woman.”

Lady Ruan didn’t expect Xie Yunjin to decline and she completely froze. Once she gathered herself, she couldn’t help but curse.

“Xie Sangou, are you really my son?! You watch your mother get taken advantage of and you still stand on that woman’s side?! I am going to end you!”

Lady Ruan lunged at Xie Yunjin and tried to pull on him. Lu Jiao stepped out and pushed Lady Ruan away.

With Lu Jiao’s strength, Lady Ruan was shoved away easily.

No longer able to take all this, Lady Ruan dropped her butt to the ground and started to howl.

“The entire Xie family is heartless. Everyone takes advantage of me! I no longer want to live! My old man bullies me, my son bullies me too, and my daughter-in-law dares to hit me! I might as well die!”

As Lady Ruan cried, mucus and snot came out of her nose. She was already thin, small, and ugly. With all the liquid running out of her eyes and nose, she looked like an old grandma. Now, not only did Xie Laogen find her hard to look at, but so did Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao.

Xie Yunjin ignored Lady Ruan and calmly took out the indenture Widow Wang signed. Before, he had taken this paperwork and forgot to give it to Lu Jiao.

Now that Lady Ruan mentioned it, he remembered again and took the paper out of his sleeve.

Lady Ruan’s cries quieted down a little. She thought because she made a scene, Xie Yunjin was now willing to give her what she asked.

Sadly, Xie Yunjin gave the indenture to Lu Jiao, “This is Widow Wang’s indenture, keep it safe.”

Lu Jiao was astonished. Why did this man enjoy making her safekeep things? This was something that belonged to the Xie family.

However, given how angry and shocked Lady Ruan looked, Lu Jiao took it, “Okay.”

She was happy to infuriate Lady Ruan.

Lady Ruan started to curse, “Xie Sangou, how did I manage to give birth to such a thing? I would’ve drowned you if I knew how unfilial you would be!”

Xie Yunjin’s expression remained unchanged as he looked at Lady Ruan, “If I am unfilial, why don’t you ask your filial sons to help you out?”

Lady Ruan became mute. Xie Yunjin reminded her out of the goodness of his heart, “Mother, now that the woman is officially in the family, you should decide whether or not you want to live peacefully with dad. Remember, times are different now and you cannot act as you did before and do everything the way you want it done. If you keep it up, father may really leave you.”

Xie Yunjin turned to go back home.

From the gate, Xie Daqiang and Chen Liu unwillingly came into the yard.

Widow Wang saw Lady Ruan come over here. Scared that Lady Ruan would successfully get the indenture from Xie Yunjin, she quickly asked Xie Laogen to send his son and daughter-in-law to take Lady Ruan home.

Xie Daqiang and his wife weren’t too willing but Xie Laogen was resolved.

Xie Daqiang felt that he was no longer the priority to his father. This made him feel stuffy.

He walked over and pulled on Lady Ruan.

...

“Mom, what are you doing? Come home with us, hurry.”

Xie Yunjin already stifled Lady Ruan and now she completely lost it. She started to howl once again, “I should just die! I cannot live like this! Let me die!”
