Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jiang Minghua felt guilty when she heard Jiang Jingchen talk about settling scores.

Tang Beibei didn’t only live, but she also played with the snake. This was bizarre!

She stood up and walked up to Tang Beibei. Her eyelashes fluttered and tears fell. She looked delicate and weak, as if she had been wronged.

“Sister-in-law, I’m sorry. 1 was too scared when 1 saw the snake, so 1 ran out to find Dad and First Brother to save you.”

Tang Beibei saw Jiang Minghua crying so sadly and thought that since Song Yan was not a good person, her daughter was probably also not a good person.

If she wanted to run back to find someone to save her, she didn’t have to push her forward and then shut the door of the greenhouse after she ran out.

“I’m fine. We are celebrating the new year today. 1 heard that people who cry over new year will be unlucky in the new year.”

Jiang Minghua was stumped. Tang Beibei would be the unlucky one, okay? Her entire family would be unlucky!

But she held Tang Beibei’s arm again and shook it coquettishly.

“I don’t care about that. I was just worried about you. I’m crying tears of joy now that you’re fine.”

“Sure,” Tang Beibei said coldly.

“Beibei is fine. That’s great. I’m happy for you.” Song Yan said with a loving smile; she looked like she was genuinely worried.

Jiang Jingchen looked at his wife with her face tense and eyes cold.

She didn’t like the hypocritical politeness of this mother and daughter.

So, he spoke up, “My wife blocked the snake and saved Jiang Minghua’s life. How are you going to thank my wife?”

“Thank you, Sister-in-law.” Jiang Minghua smiled sincerely. “Sister-in-law, let’s go shopping together sometime.”

Jiang Jingchen sneered. “A simple thank you is too light. If you really want to thank her, then give her something real to show your gratitude.”

How shameless of him to ask for something so brazenly!

“Not willing? Then your life is very cheap!” Jiang Jingchen was deliberately sarcastic.

Hearing Jiang Jingchen’s unpleasant words, Song Yan looked at him unhappily. Was he the reincarnation of a pauper?

She commented, “Jingchen, sincerity counts the most in a thank you.”

“Someone saved your daughter’s life, but you didn’t even say a word of thanks. Don’t talk to me about sincerity.”

Since they dared to sabotage his wife, Jiang Jingchen couldn’t be bothered with politeness with this mother and daughter.

“… It’s true that 1 should thank you. Beibei, you’ve been so brave.” Song Yan said dryly.

Jiang Mingyang’s crisp voice sounded, “Sister, we really must thank Sister-in-law. Why don’t you give her a new year gift?”

“Alright, Sister-in-law. What would you like? I bought a few new bags recently.”

Jiang Minghua looked at Jiang Jingchen in disgust. He was just a disgusting pauper who had come to the Jiang residence to collect debts!

Tang Beibei looked at Jiang Jingchen. Their eyes met. He asked her what she wanted the most.

Tang Beibei was especially frank when she answered, “Money.”

Jiang Jingchen almost couldn’t hold back his laughter. He said to Jiang

Minghua, “500,000 yuan, WeChat, Alipay, or UnionPay.”

“… First Brother, 500,000 yuan, I don’t have!” Jiang Minghua felt so wronged that she looked like she was about to cry again.

“250,000 then.”

“Two, two hundred and fifty thousand? I don’t have either.”

Jiang Minghua gritted her teeth. This was daylight robbery!

Although she was the third young miss of the Jiang family, she could buy a few luxury goods with 250,000 yuan. Why should she give it to a woman like Tang Beibei?

A woman who’d laugh like a fool after eating a few candies? If she was given 250,000 yuan, she might choke to death!

“200,000 yuan is the lowest I would go!”

“Well…”

Song Yan opened her mouth and wanted to persuade him, but Jiang Jingchen interrupted her coldly. “My wife saved your life and asked you for this little money. Why are you still bargaining?”

“If you go to the greenhouse and get bitten by a snake, no one knows if you’d live. Isn’t your life worth 200,000 yuan?”

Song Yan gritted her teeth in anger. Jiang Jingchen’s words were really mean.

However, the smile on her face was still gentle and kind as she said, “Jingchen, don’t be angry. Your sister usually spends all her pocket money and doesn’t have much savings. I’ll help her pay.”

“As long as you pay, I have no objections. Beibei, do you have any objections?”

“No, I don’t.”

When Song Yan saw them echoing each other, the corners of her mouth twitched. She paid them using her bank card.

After receiving the money, Jiang Jingchen didn’t want to talk nonsense with them anymore and took Tang Beibei upstairs.

Downstairs, Jiang Minghua was so angry that she almost smashed her teacup.

This rascal, Jiang Jingchen, was too shameless!

Song Yan sighed and said to Jiang Xing, “Jingchen has changed.”

Jiang Xing also couldn’t stand Jiang Jingchen’s money-grubbing attitude. He frowned and said, “He’s been recuperating overseas. He grew up to be a little materialistic. It’s not that big a deal.”

What he meant to say was that he didn’t grow up under the Jiang roof therefore didn’t behave like a Jiang.

Jiang Minghua suppressed her anger and said, “First Brother has changed. Does he have any brain injury that hasn’t been treated yet?”

She was trying to suggest to Jiang Xing that Jiang Jingchen was crazy.

Jiang Xing was puzzled. “Does Jingchen look sick?”

“Asking for money from us for a woman, he’s too thick-skinned.” Jiang Minghua chuckled.

Song Yan knew that her daughter was resentful. She gave her a look to tell her it was time to shut up.

Jiang Xing’s attitude towards Jiang Jingchen was still unclear; this wasn’t the time to piss off her father.

Upstairs, Tang Beibei followed the man to his old bedroom.

The room was decorated in cool colors and felt a little eerie.

She went to open the curtains to let light in. The room became brighter in an instant. Tang Beibei wanted to ask him why he wanted them to pay.

But before she could ask, the man walked over and kissed her. He even lifted her and sat her on the windowsill so that she could look at him at eye level.

With his lips pressed against hers, he whispered, “If you have anything to say, let’s talk at home. It’s not convenient here.”

Tang Beibei was puzzled. What was so inconvenient about talking here?

Jiang Jingchen looked at the camera in the room meaningfully.

“Hubby, you have a lot of books in your room. Did you like to read?”

“Yes, I didn’t have many friends so I read a lot.”

Tang Beibei jumped down from the windowsill to check out his books. She saw a photo album and wanted to take it down, but the shelf was too high. She stood on tiptoes and suddenly, the man behind her took the photo album down easily.

“Hubby, let me see. Is that your photo album?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Jingchen opened the photo album, flipped through a few pages, and said, “The Jiang family has a tradition. Every birthday, we took a photo.”

“I want to see!”

Tang Beibei reached out to take the album, but Jiang Jingchen raised it above her head and tapped his cheek.

“If you want to see, come, kiss here first.”

Tang Beibei was helpless. She jumped up and kissed him on the lips.

“Show me now.”

Jiang Jingchen still didn’t give it to her. Instead, he pushed her to the bookshelf, leaned over her and said, “I haven’t even seen any of your old photos.”

Tang Beibei was stunned for a few seconds. The Rong family took a family photo every year, but she was never in them.

Other than her ID photos, she didn’t have any other photos.

“Obedient Beibei, I’m sorry that 1 didn’t participate in your past. From this year onwards, we’ll take a photo every year, okay?”

“Sure.”

Tang Beibei also wanted to record every year and see the changes in their lives together.

Jiang Jingchen then showed her his photo album. The first page was a photo of him as a baby. He was very cute.

The little boy grew up little by little. He was an exquisite, beautiful little boy.

But he never smiled in front of the camera. He was quite cold.

“Hubby, I must give birth to a little boy in the future. He will be as cute and beautiful as you.”

Jiang Jingchen smiled and kissed the tip of her ear.

“Yes, I promise you.”

Tang Beibei realized that giving birth required them to work together. Her cheeks turned hot and her ears red.

She then heard him say, “I prefer daughters. Daughters as cute as you.”

Tang Beibei covered her mouth and laughed. “That’s not necessarily true. I was really ugly when 1 was young. Fortunately, 1 didn’t leave any photos behind.”

“I won’t dislike her even if she’s ugly. Kiddo, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My Obedient Beibei has always been cute and innocent.”

Tang Beibei tilted her head. “But I ate that little snake. Don’t you think I’m disgusting? I don’t think I’m a good person.”

The romantic moment was instantly destroyed. Jiang Jingchen laughed in frustration.

He imagined how little Tang Beibei rescued an injured snake and then cooked it after it died. She was quite daring.

The two of them chatted for a while before the servant knocked on the door to inform them to go downstairs for dinner..
