She staggered and all the beautiful atmosphere vanished!

Gone!

“Were you born to be a giant light bulb? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?”

Song Liangjiang stepped hard on Chu Jingmo’s foot. She finally understood why Grandma Chu used her life to threaten her to marry Chu Jingmo. If she didn’t marry this man, he would never have a wife in this lifetime.

Chu Jingmo glanced at Xie Yu and put his arm around Song Liangjiang before they left the crowd.

Xie Yu watched them leave and whispered, “When did he have a girlfriend?”

‘Is the thousand-year-old iron tree blooming?’ he thought.

Song Liangjiang was held hostage by Chu Jingmo all the way to the car. She struggled to push him away. “I’ll sue you for kidnapping!”

Chu Jingmo pushed her into the car. “Don’t forget our contract.”

“There’s no woman pestering you now. This is considered working overtime,” Song Liangjiang retorted. When Chu Jingmo looked at her, she quietly leaned against the car door. “I’m telling the truth.”

She was being pretentious and cowardly.

“Let’s go to the mansion first. Tell my mother you won’t divorce me.”

Although this might not stop his mother’s plan, it would at least deter her a little.

Song Liangjiang was shocked. If she were a kitten, he might be able to see her fur standing up.

“You’re joking. I spent the five million yuan!”

As he spoke, Song Liangjiang spun around and was about to open the car door to get out when Chu Jingmo grabbed her collar to stop her. Song Liangjiang was pulled back into his arms, but she continued to struggle. “No, I won’t go there even if I die.”

Chu Jingmo grabbed Song Liangjiang’s collar and asked the chauffeur to set off. “The contract is for a year. In this year, you have to cooperate with Party A to ward off all women using legitimate methods.”

“You’re forcing Party B’s will. This is illegal!” Song Liangjiang’s face was red, and she was sweating profusely, but the hands behind his back didn’t loosen at all.

“You don’t want the divorce anymore? Do you really reckon that the divorce agreement signed by you is valid?” Chu Jingmo let go of Song Liangjiang and looked at her, whose face was red with anger. “I’m the one who’s married to you. If you want a divorce, I have to be there. You don’t even understand such simple logic. I won’t be surprised if you are cheated and sold.”

Song Liangjiang straightened her clothes with a ferocious expression and glanced at Chu Jingmo coldly. What was the use of being so good-looking? Unfortunately, he had a mouth.

“If you can get my mother to drop the idea of arranging blind dates for me this time, wouldn’t it be a one-time effort for you?”

That seemed to be the case, but when she thought of Chu Jingmo’s mother, she still shook his head. “No, I can help you chase your blind dates away, but I didn’t say I would help you deal with your mother. That’s another price. No, it’s not about money.”

When the old madam was alive, she had been forced to spend time with Madam Chu a few times. It was simply a nightmare.

“Why? Don’t you want a divorce?” Chu Jingmo took out his trump card.

She even dreamed about it, all right?

Song Liangjiang frowned and began to bite her fingers, as if she was contemplating which was more important; seeing Madam Chu or getting a divorce.

As Song Liangjiang thought about it, she quietly scanned the situation. To meet Madam Chu would kill her. However, it seemed even more dangerous to be in a marriage with Chu Jingmo.

Chu Jingmo kept looking at her, and he couldn’t understand why a person could be so fidgety. Back then, he didn’t study her carefully. Now that he looked at her carefully, she didn’t seem to have any strengths other than being good-looking.

He wondered why his grandmother had chosen her.

Before Song Liangjiang could finish chewing on her nails, the car had arrived at the entrance of the Chu residence.

Song Liangjiang hid in the car, pretending to be an ostrich. She didn’t really want to get out.

“Come out.” Chu Jingmo stood at the door and stared at the woman who had curled up.

Song Liangjiang glared at him fiercely. To Chu Jingmo, she was like an angry kitten. She was not intimidating at all. Instead, it made him feel like he wanted to bully her even more.

“Jingmo, why are you only back now? Didn’t you say…” Madam Chu was over 50 years old, but because she had taken good care of herself. Hence she looked like she was in her forties. Even at home, she was dressed in luxurious clothes and had exquisite makeup on her face. She looked like a wealthy lady from head to toe.

However, the smile on the lady’s face disappeared the moment she saw Song Liangjiang. Her expression changed from a mother’s to a stepmother’s.

Song Liangjiang was dragged out of the car by Chu Jingmo. At this moment, she only wanted to cover her purse. She had a feeling that she couldn’t keep that five million yuan.

“Why is she here?” As expected, Madam Chu spoke. Her face was filled with disdain as she glared at Song Liangjiang as if she was interrogating her. Where’s the five million?! Where’s the five million?!

Song Liangjiang looked down and covered her small pockets with both hands, acting as though she was a squirrel hiding nuts. No one could snatch her food.

Chu Jingmo put his arm around her. “Mom, she’s my wife and your daughter-in-law. Why can’t she be here?”

Madam Chu choked upon hearing her son and she glowered at Song Liangjiang again. Where was the money?

This time, Song Liangjiang raised her head up to the sky.

“No, Jingmo, she’s…”

“Mom, there are guests at home?” Chu jingmo led Song Liangjiang in and asked deliberately.

The guest in the living room was the only daughter of the Lin family in City A. Her name was Lin Xi. The Lin family’s status in City A was not inferior to the Chus. Therefore, Madam Chu was most satisfied with this girl from the Lin family. Fortunately, she also liked Chu Jingmo and didn’t even mind that he was getting remarried.

Thinking of this, Madam Chu glared at Song Liangjiang again. Her son had been ruined by this woman.

Song Liangjiang was speechless.

‘Thank you. But I don’t really want to defile your son,’ she thought.

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment when she saw Song Liangjiang, but she quickly recovered. She looked at Chu Jingmo with a smile and her voice was sweet.

“Brother Jingmo, Auntie said that you were coming back today. I thought that since we hadn’t seen each other for a long time, I popped over for a visit. I didn’t disturb you, right?”

Song Liangjiang trembled, and goosebumps rose on her skin.

“You’re cold?” As if sensing that Song Liangjiang was trembling, Chu Jingmo hugged her and asked in a low voice.

Lin Xi clenched her fists. Madam Chu gasped in anger. “Jingmo, come up with me.”

Watching Madam Chu go upstairs, Chu Jingmo whispered in her ear, “It’s your battlefield. I hope Mrs. Chu emerges as the victor.”

After saying that, the corner of Chu Jingmo’s lips seemed to sweep past Song Liangjiang’s cheek, and she wanted to clench her heart and kick him away. This wretched man.

Lin Xi wrung her hands and tried her best to maintain a smile. She wished she could skin Song Liangjiang alive.

When Chu Jingmo followed Madam Chu upstairs, the servants in the living room seemed to have received some instructions and they all dispersed.

“I heard from Auntie that you took the five million yuan and left.”

Lin Xi’s words were filled with disdain. To her, Song Liangjiang was a cheap woman who would do anything for money.

Song Liangjiang rubbed her neck and twisted her wrists as if she was really going to the battlefield.
