“Since he is my father, he will naturally like me. He just wants his son to be talented. You don’t have to say anything else.”
Chu Shangshang expressed his stand.
Seeing this, the servant could not say anything more and could only nod his head.
They continued to stroll around and happened to b.u.mp into another servant who had come to look for them.
He was in a hurry, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
Chu Shangshang’s servant thought that the other servant was here to find trouble and hurriedly stood in front of his master.
“Are you from the village? Why does it look like you’re here to kill Master Shangshang?”
“Master Shangshang,” the servant immediately said. “The chief has asked you to come over. It seems like there’s something urgent.”
Hearing this, Chu Shangshang rushed into the village.
He was very fl.u.s.tered. If anything happened to the village chief, his position would be at stake.
His servant followed behind him.
At this time, Jiang Ming could not help but lose his patience when he saw that the servant girl could not find the person she was looking for.
This servant girl was simply wasting his time! Could it be that she felt that he had not left yet, so she was deliberately stalling for time?
After thinking about it, he felt that it was a possibility, so he pretended to leave and investigate. In the end, he found that the servant girl really could not be found.
He sighed.
Looking at this servant girl’s anxious appearance, he wanted to help her find the person.
Whatever, he might as well leave first.
He estimated that this servant girl would not be able to find him no matter what. If this continued, it would only be a waste of his time.
Thinking of this, he turned around and walked toward the road outside.
At this moment, Chu Wanwan was still entangled with Chu Yuanxi.
Due to Chu Wanwan’s actions, she just could not climb up the wall.
Chu Yuanxi, who had been supporting her from below, could not help but feel anxious.
“Chu Wanwan, why can’t you climb up? Try again. Can you step on my hand? If you don’t hurry up, we’ll be easily discovered.”
After saying that, he raised his hand.
Chu Wanwan pretended to be coy.
“Ah, Chu Yuanxi, it’s not easy for me to climb up. I want to climb up too, but there’s no way. Let me try again.”
As she spoke, she stepped on Chu Yuanxi’s hand.
Chu Yuanxi felt as if his arm was about to break.
He endured the pain and encouraged Chu Wanwan. “It’s okay. Take it slow. I’m just afraid that someone will find us. I’ll take care of everything later. If we’re discovered, so be it.”
He comforted her.
In fact, he was not very skilled. Otherwise, he would have brought Chu Wanwan up the wall directly and not let her step on him.
He sighed.
Still, he was sure he could bring Chu Wanwan happiness.
They had been in a stalemate for a long time, and Jiang Ming happened to b.u.mp into them.
He was stunned when he saw the two of them about to climb over the wall.
He did not expect to b.u.mp into Chu Wanwan. As for who the man beside him was, he glanced at Chu Yuanxi and frowned.
These two looked like they were about to escape. Why did they not just leave the village?
Wasn’t Chu Wanwan the eldest daughter of the village? Could it be that they would be strictly investigated even if they left the village?
Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes.
Chu Wanwan happened to see Jiang Ming as well. She could not help but pretend to be alarmed. “Jiu Zhu, why are you here?”
As she spoke, she deliberately fell down, feeling overjoyed.
No matter what, she was lucky to have met Jiang Ming.
Moreover, she was not caught in a compromising position with Chu Yuanxi. When the time came, she would use her words to deceive Chu Yuanxi. The most important thing now was to let Jiang Ming save her.
With that, Jiang Ming naturally exposed his position. Chu Yuanxi also looked over and helped Chu Wanwan up.
“You’re her husband, Jiu Zhu?” A murderous look flashed in his eyes. He snorted coldly.
Jiang Ming nodded. Sensing that Chu Yuanxi was up to no good, he frowned and asked, “Who are you? Why are you with Chu Wanwan?”
“Who are you to call her by her name? She is the eldest daughter of the village. You’re just a live-in son-in-law.”
Hearing this, Chu Yuanxi was furious and jealous.
Previously, when he was in love with Chu Wanwan, he did not really call Chu Wanwan by her name. He could only call her by her name currently because his position had changed. Why could Jiang Ming call her by her name as he pleased?
Seeing both sides getting aggressive, Chu Wanwan felt even more delighted.
From the looks of it, she would be able to get rid of Chu Yuanxi very soon. Jiang Ming was way more powerful than Chu Yuanxi.
She had checked them both just now.
Chu Yuanxi’s power had been greatly reduced compared to before. He would never win.
“It’s not your turn to judge whether I’m worthy or not. Who are you to her?”
Jiang Ming sized up Chu Yuanxi and snorted coldly.
He felt that Chu Yuanxi was taking himself too seriously.
He had married Chu Wanwan and was considered one of the masters of this village. Who was Chu Yuanxi in comparison?
When she heard Jiang Ming’s words, Chu Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly said, “Jiu Zhu, please don’t fight. This is all my fault. I climbed the wall because I wanted to go out and have fun.”
Her words could not help but arouse Jiang Ming’s suspicion.
As a pampered young lady who could call the shots in the village, why did she have to escape like this?
Even if she had a conflict with the village chief, it should not be like this, right?
Moreover, the village chief had already relented. It was not like she was not allowed to go out. This was a little too strange.
Chu Wanwan sounded a little fl.u.s.tered. She did not realize that there was a contradiction in her words. She immediately said, “Chu Yuanxi, let’s go first. Jiu Zhu, I’ll look for you later.”
Chu Yuanxi could not help but feel smug.
He knew that Chu Wanwan was biased toward him.
Then, he looked at Jiang Ming provocatively, as if he was telling Jiang Ming that even if he married Chu Wanwan, it meant nothing. Chu Wanwan still chose him.
Jiang Ming did not care much about Chu Wanwan, so he did not care about Chu Yuanxi’s provocative gaze.
However, he understood one thing.
The relationship between the two of them was not shallow. Therefore, it was suspicious that they were climbing a wall.
He began to suspect that the two of them wanted to run away behind his back, but then he shook his head.
It should not be like this. He did not do anything bad to Chu Wanwan. Moreover, his marriage with Chu Wanwan was single-handedly arranged by Chu Wanwan.
If she insisted on going far away with someone else, why would she help him plead with the village chief?
At this moment, Chu Wanwan’s heart was beating out of her chest!
