When Jiang Yule heard him, she turned around to look at him in shock. Her eyes seemed to be questioning his decision. Li Xingyi could not help but smile. “If you don’t teach him well, I’ll find another wife to inherit my fortune.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room was stunned. Wu Bing was the only one who noticed the smirk on Li Xingyi’s face. He had worked for Li Xingyi for around four to five years already, but this was the first time he had seen him smile. Why was he showing her, his wife whom he had no feelings for, a teasing smile like this?

Wu Bing felt that he had discovered an incredible secret.

After Li Xingyi left, Jiang Yule really wanted to put down the little boy in her arms and vent her frustrations by punching and kicking the air. However, a group of well-trained and well-equipped men in suits suddenly barged into the room and surrounded her.

This group of men who had surrounded Jiang Yule did not say a word. Jiang Yule then glanced at the eagle emblem on one of the men’s shoulders and realized that this was Li Xingyi’s private task force. Li Xingyi must have sent them here to protect her and Li Sui’an. After calming down, Jiang Yule carried the child and walked towards the door. She knew that Li Xing’s words just now were just a threat to scare her.

Many reporters and onlookers crowded the entrance of the hotel on her way out, and if it were not for the police maintaining order, the reporters would have rushed over as soon as they saw her.

The task force fully surrounded her, and within this impenetrable wall of people, Jiang Yule carried Li Sui’an and was safely escorted to the car. She knew that she would not have received such good treatment if it were not for the little boy in her arms.

Wang Jianguo was curious about the reason Li Xingyi did not just personally bring the boy with him, but it did not ask.

Since Li Xingyi was not in the car with them, Jiang Yule did not need to sit up straight. She leaned her head against the window and looked at the scenery outside in a daze. She thought about Li Xingyi.

She was not even a bit flustered when Li Xingyi threatened her, and even felt a strange sense of relief. Most people would consider themselves lucky to be in her shoes and marry a top-tier billionaire they did not love. Not only that, she did not even have to change or do anything for him after they had married. And after everything, she would receive half of his entire wealth once he passed away. ‘Who wouldn’t happily accept such a nice deal?’

But ever since Jiang Yule discovered that Li Xingyi’s body was like an optimized machine, her dream to be a widow of a wealthy family had gradually faded away. He had never made any mistakes, and his body was getting stronger as time went on. It was not until Li Xingyi suddenly became sick that day when she remembered that she still had the inheritance to look forward to.

Wang Jianguo had told her that the Jiang Yule in the original book had died before she lived to fifty from a heart disease. In other words, she would die before Li Xingyi. After realizing the fate that awaited her if she blindly followed the first system, Jiang Yule would definitely not allow herself to follow in the footsteps of the original. She would not sit still and wait for death.

She had to make plans for her future life and start thinking of ways to earn money. Glancing at the driver who was concentrating on the road through the rearview mirror, Jiang Yule took out a small old phone from her pocket. She made sure to use Li Sui’an’s sleeping body to cover what she was doing.

She learned a bit about economics from being the wife of a wealthy man. At the very least, she had grasped a lot of information about the market and the economy in the past two years. Currently, the Li Corporation’s business operations spanned across various industries, with only one line that was not being paid much attention to. That line of work was exactly what Jiang Yule could easily do.

…

There were a total of 278 employees and customers on duty at the Haiyue Hotel that day. Among them, ninety-seven and twenty-two were hospitalized with serious injuries. This news caused a huge uproar in the country, but instead of the crazy killer, everyone was more concerned about criticizing Li Xingyi’s involvement.

Jiang Yule’s expression did not change as she turned her phone off. Even when she was watching funny videos, there were people in the comment section who were cursing her and Li Xingyi for not saving enough people. She then threw her phone on the floor. ‘Can I still surf the internet in peace?’

Since that day, the number of bodyguards at home had increased significantly. The atmosphere was also much more tense than before. Even Aunt Wang did not dare to speak too loudly. The only ones who had not changed were Jiang Yule, who still fed Princess on time every day, and Li Xingyi, who was always busy as usual.

Just as she was about to close her eyes and sleep, a familiar scream suddenly came from the room next door. Jiang Yule calmly got up from the bed, put on her slippers, and went to the next room.

Aunt Wang and the other servants lived in the small building next door. Currently, the only two people who lived in this huge villa were herself and Li Sui’an, who had nightmares because of that horrible incident.
