CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 147: LIKE RATS WITH SKIN, MEN WITHOUT DECENCY

Is this guy out of his mind?

Or has he completely forgotten he’s married? Doesn’t he know bigamy is a crime?

He married the sister and now he’s brazenly confessing his affection to the sister-in-law, speaking as if Ye Manman was really fond of him in the past. What did he do wrong, she ignored him, making it seem like they were dating.

But Ye Manman has such an excellent husband in He Chen, would she even consider him?

From head to toe, Jiang Tianrui couldn’t figure out where Xie Fengmian got the confidence to think Ye Manman would like him and give up He Chen.

Faced with Jiang Tianrui’s complex and disdainful gaze, Xie Fengmian was very displeased.

"What’s it to you?"

After saying this, he arrogantly lifted his chin and thought he looked cool as he spoke.

"As long as Manman is willing to admit her feelings for me and forgive me, just one word from her, and I can get a divorce immediately."

His eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at Ye Manman.

"How about it, Manman, just one word from you."

Before he could finish, Ye Manman’s patience was wearing thin.

"You’re at it again? Ye Xiaotong is still pregnant with your child!"

No matter what, Ye Xiaotong never did anything to hurt him and is pregnant with his child. She’s become so unattractive due to pregnancy, yet Xie Fengmian shouldn’t treat Ye Xiaotong so heartlessly.

"The child doesn’t matter, it’s not important. Just one word from you, and I’ll have her abort the child and then divorce her."

"You don’t want to be a stepmother, we’ll have our own child. She only got pregnant by taking advantage of me being drunk, I wasn’t really eager for this child."

He thought Ye Manman was concerned about the child’s existence, so he quickly tried to appease her.

"Manman, rest assured, my feelings haven’t changed, I only want you and the children we’ll have together. This isn’t an obstacle, just one word from you."

"That’s a life!"

Ye Manman could no longer listen to his heartless, soulless words. She interrupted him again and stood up.

"I’ve never had any feelings for you, Xie Fengmian, I’ve said it numerous times, I’m not interested in you. Can you stop bothering me?"

"And do you realize how ugly and disgusting you are right now? Absolutely disgusting, what do you take human life for? Even a tiger won’t eat its cubs, yet you want to make the arbitrary decision to casually terminate Ye Xiaotong’s child just because you don’t like it. Who do you think you are? Some tyrant?"

She didn’t want to waste more time here. Staying in the same space with someone like Xie Fengmian made Ye Manman feel suffocated. She truly couldn’t understand how someone could be so heartless and inhumane.

Not only that, but he also felt good about himself, shameless beyond measure.

Ye Manman was about to leave, and Xie Fengmian quickly stood up to stop her.

Jiang Tianrui also prepared himself for a fight, clenching his fists.

Unexpectedly, Ye Manman grabbed a porcelain plate from the table, the food on it untouched, and dumped it onto the table.

Seeing Xie Fengmian was about to grab her hand, she swiftly smashed the plate on the table.

The plate shattered with a loud noise, and everyone dining in the restaurant realized something was wrong, all quietly closing their mouths and watching the situation unfold.

With a sharp piece of the plate in her hand, Ye Manman’s expression was cold.

"Try stopping me again?"

She didn’t say who the fragment was for, but Xie Fengmian assumed she wouldn’t dare to hurt him, thinking she was threatening self-harm to stop him from interfering.

Xie Fengmian truly didn’t dare move recklessly.

He stared at the sharp piece in Ye Manman’s hand, looking a bit helpless.

"Manman, I really didn’t mean to do anything to you. Can you not react so intensely? Throw that thing away before you accidentally cut your hand."

Jiang Tianrui was also a bit anxious, worried Ye Manman would get carried away and hurt herself. In that case, he truly wouldn’t be able to explain to He Chen, especially since before he left, He Chen had confidently assured him that nothing would happen to Ye Manman.

So he also watched her, determined that if she really intended to harm herself, he would knock the fragment out of her hand.

Ye Manman ignored him, her expression unchanged, just glancing at Jiang Tianrui.

"Let’s go."

She did not engage in any terrifying actions but held that potentially harmful fragment, and Xie Fengmian dared not stop her. He had to pull out some money for his friend to help cover the restaurant damages and then followed Ye Manman out.

Outside the restaurant, Ye Manman still showed no intention of dropping the fragment. Her face remained indifferent, and she walked in silence, not even responding to Jiang Tianrui speaking to her.

"Manman, Manman, can you throw that thing away? It’s too dangerous to hold onto it, your hands are so delicate, you could easily get injured."

"See, I didn’t stop you from leaving, right? I just want to say a few more words to you, would you throw it away?"

Xie Fengmian continued to follow behind. Ye Manman wasn’t walking fast, so he quickly caught up beside her but maintained a distance, worried she might suddenly act.

Ye Manman ignored him, her gaze fixed on the distance, until she saw Jiang Yuan coming over, with several tall men behind her. Then she suddenly relaxed her grip and dropped the fragment.

Xie Fengmian was oblivious, thinking she had listened to him, and hurriedly stepped closer to her side.

"Manman, I—"

"What do you mean ’I’—stop touching and feeling around here."

Jiang Tianrui also saw Jiang Yuan and the people she brought. Earlier, he had hesitated to act against Xie Fengmian because he had two companions with him; now that he had his own group, he was no longer afraid of losing the fight.

"What are you doing?"

Xie Fengmian was immediately pushed by him, and his face darkened.

Behind him, Xie Fengmian’s two friends followed, and upon seeing this, immediately stepped forward to grab Jiang Tianrui’s arm.

Jiang Tianrui was restrained, but Xie Fengmian didn’t fare much better.

Just as he was about to grab Ye Manman’s hand again, Jiang Yuan arrived with several people, all very tall, with the leading one being his "old friend."

"Oh, are you planning to act like a hooligan in the street or to fight? You members of the Xie Family simply love to misbehave, right?"

Liu Jitong immediately started mocking upon facing Xie Fengmian. Not only were his words blunt, but his insults were direct as well. Moreover, the people he brought were all colleagues from the plant, specifically chosen for their height.

Standing there, four or five people easily overpowered Xie Fengmian and his two friends in terms of momentum.

They dared not act aggressively anymore. Jiang Tianrui easily broke free from those two people’s grip, spat on the ground with an annoyed expression as he saw Xie Fengmian looking disgruntled.

"Isn’t it just inhuman, declaring love to his sister-in-law in front of others. I nearly believed he was some great lover, then find out he has a pregnant wife back home. He’s even planning to abandon the kid, not fit to be human."

As someone who witnessed Xie Fengmian’s supposedly genuine emotions, Jiang Tianrui’s feelings were the most direct, and naturally, his insults were as well.

These words even shocked Liu Jitong, who had Jiang Yuan take Ye Manman behind them and couldn’t help but laugh.

"Even though I’ve long known the Xie Family has been inhumane for a long time, I didn’t expect it could be this venomous. Not long ago, I heard about a potential affair, and now they’re discarding a child too. So ruthless."

"Even a rat has skin, but people like you, Xie Fengmian, have no decency, indeed."
