CHAPTER 10: CHAPTER 10: I’LL TREAT EVERYONE NICELY

Suddenly, Sang Yu called out to Song Zhenhua.

"Uncle, I remember Aunt mentioned there might be some money at home. Why don’t you give me some first? At least I shouldn’t go empty-handed to Brother Jiang’s house, don’t you agree?"

A cunning look flickered in Sang Yu’s eyes.

Song Zhenhua immediately looked at Chen Jinlan.

Chen Jinlan hurriedly said, "You’re talking nonsense, when did I say that to you?"

"Aunt, look at you, you must have misheard. I said I heard you talking to Jiajia."

Chen Jinlan couldn’t remember if she’d said it to Song Jiajia.

Because Song Jiajia had constantly been asking about how much money was at home recently.

Maybe she accidentally slipped and mentioned it.

Chen Jinlan felt a bit guilty, and Song Zhenhua wished he could slap her.

But in the end, he could only smile awkwardly and say, "Little Yu, the family—"

"Uncle, I heard Aunt say there’s supposedly two thousand yuan at home. Can you pay me back one thousand first?

Look, Aunt bought things for my cousin; I can’t take part in that, but I can’t go empty-handed to Brother Jiang’s house either, or it would be too embarrassing.

If I take one thousand yuan over there, Brother Jiang’s relatives won’t say anything. What do you think, Uncle?"

Everyone gasped and didn’t expect Song Zhenhua’s family to have so much money, already giving five hundred yuan as a dowry, and still having two thousand left.

Everyone’s gaze towards Song Zhenhua changed.

"Director Song, I think Little Yu has a point. How can a new bride go empty-handed? Doesn’t everyone agree?"

Li Rumei wasn’t really trying to help Sang Yu; she just wanted to make Chen Jinlan unhappy.

As long as Chen Jinlan was unhappy, oh well, she was happy.

Others chimed in too, "Yeah, going empty-handed is really not appropriate."

Song Zhenhua was trapped, glaring at Chen Jinlan.

At this moment, Song Jiajia shrieked, "Why should my family’s money be given to you? Even if we had ten thousand yuan, not a penny would be given to you!"

"Cousin, what do you mean by that? Are you saying Uncle’s IOU is a lie? Do you think I’m easy to deceive?"

Sang Yu looked hurt, clutching her chest and staring at Song Jiajia.

Jiang Jingming suddenly spoke, "Uncle Song, is that true?"

Song Zhenhua was certain that if he dared to say yes, his position as director would end tomorrow.

Sang Yu was a bit surprised, not expecting Jiang Jingming to speak for her.

She felt somewhat grateful, thinking that she could share some of the money with him once she got it.

"Jiang Jingming, this is our family matter. What does it have to do with you?"

In the past life, she and Jiang Jingming only met a few times.

He always treated her coldly, but now Sang Yu hadn’t even married yet.

He was already defending her like that.

Jiang Jingming looked at Song Jiajia coldly, "She’s my wife, family, how could it be unrelated to me?"

"Enough!" Song Zhenhua said sternly.

He took a deep breath, returned to the study, and soon came out.

In his hand was a thick stack of large bills.

"Here’s one thousand yuan, take it." Song Zhenhua said it through gritted teeth, glaring at Sang Yu as if he wanted to chew her up.

Look, look, what’s the harm in looking?

Sang Yu reached out and took the money from Song Zhenhua’s hand.

"Thank you, Uncle, I knew you’re the best to me. Alright, Uncle can write the IOU now, still owe two thousand five, Uncle you have to pay back soon, otherwise, when Brother Jiang and I have kids, there will be more expenses."

Sang Yu said this purely to upset Song Zhenhua.

She didn’t notice Jiang Jingming’s brief expression of discomfort when he heard her mention having children with him.

Having got the money, she also took the IOU.

Sang Yu happily followed Jiang Jingming away.

Aside, Lin Wen was dumbfounded, first discovering the captain changed wives, and then finding out the captain’s wife is that pretty girl they bumped into on the street that day.

Then watched their sister-in-law extort a large sum from the family.

Geez, so exciting, more exciting than anything he’s seen at the police station.

Sang Yu was delighted and decided to be nice to everyone today.

Just as Jiang Jingming and Sang Yu got downstairs, they saw Lu Hao, who had also come to pick up his bride.

Lu Hao was momentarily stunned by Sang Yu’s beauty, not expecting her to look so good dressed up.

Sang Yu didn’t care about Lu Hao, so she walked straight past him without looking.

Jiang Jingming, however, noticed Lu Hao’s gaze.

He looked at Lu Hao, with a dangerous glint in his narrowed eyes.

Lu Hao was startled.

By the time he came back to his senses, Jiang Jingming was already gone with his people.

The car slowly left the alley.

"Hey, isn’t this the one who came to pick up Song Jiajia?" Li Rumei looked at Lu Hao, glanced up and down, tip-toed to look behind Lu Hao, a bicycle.

Really don’t know what Song Jiajia is thinking.

Song Jiajia heard Li Rumei’s voice and instantly ran out.

Seeing Lu Hao, she smiled, "Brother Lu, you’re here."

Lu Hao showed a gentle smile, "Jiajia, I’m here to pick you up."

Seeing Lu Hao improved Song Jiajia’s earlier bad mood, thinking Lu Hao would be a tycoon in the future, and she herself would be a rich wife.

While Sang Yu, this bitch, would soon become a widow.

An evil glint passed through Song Jiajia’s eyes.

Song Zhenhua and Chen Jinlan had long been out of sorts by Sang Yu’s earlier antics, and Chen Jinlan didn’t even like Lu Hao.

So they exchanged a few words and let Song Jiajia be taken away.

Lu Hao was unhappy with their attitude, but seeing the dowry gifts made his face ease a bit.

He’d just seen that Sang Yu had nothing.

It seems abandoning Sang Yu to marry Song Jiajia was a wise choice.

After Song Jiajia left, everyone in the room and hallway dispersed.

But today’s event would surely become a topic at everyone’s dinner table.

Song Zhenhua sat sullenly in the living room, and Chen Jinlan felt uneasy.

"You fool! Are you happy now?" Song Zhenhua pointed at Chen Jinlan, sternly rebuking.

Chen Jinlan dared not speak, silently enduring.

Song Zhenhua said coldly, "Truly a fool!"

Getting angrier, Song Zhenhua slammed the door as he left.

Once he was gone, Chen Jinlan slumped to the ground.

It’s all because of that bitch Sang Yu! A vicious glint passed through Chen Jinlan’s eyes.

——

"Ah-choo." Sang Yu sneezed in the sedan car.

Jiang Jingming asked, "Cold?"

Sang Yu shook her head, "No, not cold."

How could it be cold in this weather; probably those folks are cursing her.

Lin Wen frequently glanced toward the rearview mirror at Sang Yu, hesitating to speak.

Sang Yu noticed and said, "The policeman up front, if you have questions, just ask."

Policeman?

Li Wen screamed inside, what policeman.

But he did have questions, yet he was quickly warned by the captain’s look, and could only smile awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, you jest; what would I ask,"

"Not asking? Then you mustn’t ask in the future." Sang Yu said with a bright smile.
