So beautiful it's unreal!

So beautiful!

So beautiful she doesn't look real!

His heart was pounding, and he felt completely numb.

"Hello, Uncle!" The woman smiled slightly, her teeth as white as jade. "Excuse me, does Liu Dong live in this courtyard house?"

Who?

Liu Dong?

Swish!

Jia Dongxu suddenly looked up and stared at the woman again.

She's still so stunning, breathtakingly beautiful.

But... could this woman be Liu Dong's wife?

impossible!

Does Liu Dong deserve this kind of person?

"It's inside, in the backyard!" Xu Fugui answered quickly. "There are two big houses in the back; the one on the south side is his house!"

"Oh—" the woman smiled sweetly, "Thank you so much, uncle! You've worked so hard!"

"Don't mention it!" Xu Fugui waved his hand.

"Girl!" Yan Bugui called out to her as she was about to leave, "Are you related to Liu Dong's family?"

The woman stopped, took a deep breath, and said gracefully, "Uncle, I'm not a relative, I'm his girlfriend. After I marry into the family, I'll need your help!"

After saying that, he turned around and smiled, "Goodbye—"

Click click...

Her high heels clattered as she walked step by step toward the backyard.

This……

The entire courtyard was completely silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, as if they had all been frozen in place.

Object?

This beautiful woman is actually Liu Dong's girlfriend?

A group of men felt a tightness in their chests, and were extremely uncomfortable.

But the one who suffers the most is Jia Dongxu, whose head is practically glowing green with envy.

Liu Dong's girlfriend is actually this handsome?

Then think of my own Qin Huairu...

Compared to this, Qin Huairu immediately became ordinary and nothing special!

Just when he was about to break down, a thought suddenly popped into his head, and a smile involuntarily spread across his face.

Hey……

Liu Dong, you fucking touched my wife's hand and took advantage of her while I wasn't home, and you even hugged her!

Now?

It's my turn!

Your wife is so beautiful, I definitely have to take good care of her!

Just wait and see!

Hehehe...

A sinister glint flashed in Jia Dongxu's eyes.

Watching Chen Xueru's retreating figure, a malicious glint flashed in Jia Dongxu's eyes.

What should we do with this person?

Hey……

When I go to the toilet later, I'll deliberately wet my hands after I've finished peeing, and then use those hands to shake hands with Liu Dong's girlfriend.

hey-hey……

How could she know that I had done this?

That'll definitely make me laugh to death!

whoosh-

Unexpectedly, Chen Xueru seemed to have eyes in the back of her head, and suddenly turned her head, just in time to see Jia Dongxu's lewd expression and those sticky, evil eyes.

Chen Xueru frowned.

She had just felt a chill down her spine, as if someone was secretly watching her. It turned out to be this guy.

However, she didn't dwell on it, turned around with a cold face, and went straight into the backyard.

Inside, Liu Dong was drinking and having a lively time with several young men around a table. Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, a figure flashed by, and everyone turned to look.

"Whoosh—"

Wow! This woman is really hot!

"Xueru?" Liu Dong was taken aback. "What brings you here?"

In the middle of the day, a wife suddenly shows up at the door; who can react in time?

Chen Xueru's lips curled up slightly, and she said half-jokingly, "I haven't seen you for so many days. I thought you had run away, so I came to see if you were still alive."

He paused, then added with a laugh, "Oh dear, look at my timing! Did I come at the wrong time? Did I disturb your gathering?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the table understood instantly.

So this is my sister-in-law herself?

Continuing to drink would mean you're tactless and don't know how to appreciate kindness.

"Let's get out of here!" Liu Guangqi immediately stood up. "Let's find another place, let's continue at my house!"

"Right, right, right!" Liu Dong immediately chimed in. "Zhu Zi, take all the food and drinks with us. Let's go to Guang Qi's place for another round of drinks. I'll leave this place for Xue Ru to rest!"

"Okay, okay!"

A group of people quickly packed up their belongings and moved them out, not forgetting to smile apologetically as they left.

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry!"

"Sister-in-law, we really didn't know you were coming!"

"Please come inside and rest, we'll be leaving right away!"

After a flurry of activity, everyone had left.

Only Liu Dong and Chen Xueru remained in the room.

"I'm exhausted!" Chen Xueru plopped down next to him, panting heavily from the heat.

Liu Dong said, "Sit down for a while, I'll get you a basin of cool water to wipe your face and cool you down."

"Okay," Chen Xueru replied.

Because she hadn't eaten lunch yet, after washing her face, the two of them set out their bowls and chopsticks again and ate together.

Liu Dong heated up the food he had specially saved and brought it over.

The two ate and chatted.

"Is the shop not busy?" Liu Dong asked. "Why did you come to see me on such a hot day?"

Chen Xueru glanced at him: "Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Of course."

She tossed her hair aside, stared intently at him, and whispered, "I missed you."

That one glance was full of charm, like a spring breeze on the face, or like honey filling the heart.

Liu Dong nodded, his tone tinged with guilt: "I believe you. I really have neglected you these past few days, busy stockpiling goods and not having time to visit you. It's my fault."

Chen Xueru asked, "What are you stocking up on?"

"We have enough grain, 40,000 jin at the bottom; we've also bought over 1,000 jin of meat, both pork and chicken, but we're still a little short, and we plan to replenish it within a month. As for eggs and other groceries, we'll take them as they come; if we find them cheap, we'll buy more."

"Wow!" Chen Xueru exclaimed in surprise, "Spending so much money, can you afford it?"

"If it's not enough, I'll pay for it—we'll be using these things together eventually, won't we?"

Liu Dong smiled: "You don't need to worry about the money, I know what I'm doing."

He paused, then remembered something and said earnestly, "By the way, if you have any spare money, hurry up and buy as much cloth as possible. The more the better! If you don't have anywhere to store it, just give it to me, and I'll keep it for you!"

"Huh?" Chen Xueru was stunned. "Didn't they say the public-private partnership was about to start? Isn't it pointless to buy goods now?"

Liu Dong smiled and said, "The joint venture is a policy, not a robbery. When the assets are tallied later, your goods will still be in your name."

"Let me tell you, it won't be long before the price of cloth skyrockets, and not just anyone can buy it!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xueru immediately nodded: "Okay! I'll listen to you!"

But then she became worried: "But this thing is afraid of fire, and it's easy to cause an accident if it's not stored properly."

"Don't worry!" Liu Dong patted his chest confidently. "I'll personally manage it for you, I guarantee it'll be perfectly safe!"

After finishing her story about her family, Chen Xueru suddenly thought of the strange-looking young man from earlier and couldn't help but speak up:

"There's a guy in your yard who's really disgusting. The way he looks at me is filthy, disgusting, like he's harboring hatred and acting like a scoundrel."

Just thinking about that appearance makes her feel uncomfortable.

Liu Dong frowned: Young man?

Didn't they all drink in my room and then leave?

He asked, "Are you talking about someone who's short, ugly, dark-skinned, and has a parting in the middle of their forehead?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Xueru nodded repeatedly.

Holy crap, that son of a bitch Jia Dongxu, how dare he have bad intentions towards my wife?

Liu Dong jumped up: "Xueru, wait a moment, I'll be right back!"

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

After entering the room, he took out paper and pen and quickly wrote down three words: Jia Dongxu.
