Jiang Rui said in an indifferent tone, “When will you change the habit of caring about others’ wives?”
“I only care about your mother, so I also care about you.” Wen Pintang’s voice still sounded as if he were smiling.
He had gotten married when Xin Qing stood up on her feet, but he drank overnight with Ying Qingcang at S City before the night they were married. When he left, he said, “I can’t give her happiness because you are by her side. If you let her down someday, I’ll take her away without hesitation.”
For Wen Pintang, an encounter in the rain had burnt up all the emotions in his life. He gave all his love to the woman called Xin Qing. Although he never received any response, nor he attempted to get close to her.
But he had just fallen in love. He prayed at night for countless times that he could meet Xin Qing earlier in the next life. As for that life… it was not Xin Qing, then it could be anyone else. So he married the daughter of the biggest land agent in the capital. The marriage between them could benefit both parties.
Except that… he had no love.
“You must have investigated her!” There was a file in Wen Pintang’s hand, “If I were to say, all the things you found are fake.”
Jiang Rui frowned. “What did you find?” He wouldn’t suspect Wen Pintang’s capacity. If he said there was something wrong, then there had to be.
“It was all fake. All of Chen Chen’s files were made artificially.” Wen Pintang’s tone contained surprise and praise, “It is the first time that I’ve seen such a perfect fake identity. There was almost no flaw in it.”
“Then how did you find out?”
“Recently, some first-class illegal drugs were found in the black market in Eastern Africa and were sold under the name of the Wen family. When we investigated it, I found a top hacker involved. So I asked someone to hack into his computer and found something really interesting.”
Wen Pintang stopped, and then continued, “Among those were your wife’s files, and there were more than one of them. I don’t know which is in your hand. But the hacker faked several identities for her.”
“I see.” Jiang Rui didn’t have much of a reaction and kept calm.
Wen Pintang reminded him, “I don’t care about you. But I don’t want Xin Qing to be worried. The woman’s background is unknown. If she hurts Xin Qing in the future, I won’t let her be at ease.”
“You are in no position to say so. I’m her son and Ying Qingcang is her husband. She’ll be fine with us.” Jiang Rui coldly hummed and said, “If you have time, you can get your own woman to behave. If it wasn’t for her, Chen Chen’s identity wouldn’t have been revealed so soon.”
Having hung up the phone, Jiang Rui leaned against the chair without any movement. When Bear got in and saw him, he excitedly asked, “Master, do we have a task?”
“We have a task…”
“That’s great! Let me do it! Let me do it!” Bear patted on the table heavily, “I’ve been too idle these days.”
Jiang Rui nodded, “Then you can install a detectaphone on Chen Chen’s smartphone and computer.”
“What?” Bear was confused.
“Are you deaf?” Jiang Rui looked at him and asked, “Or you didn’t understand me?”
Bear seemed very confused and said, “But why do we have to keep watch on her? Master, you don’t believe her and think she may be a spy?”
If Chen Chen were a spy, then Bear would admit she was too great at pretending and cheated everybody. But he just thought Chen Chen couldn’t be a spy. She was too stupid to be a spy…
“What if she pretended?” Jiang Rui knew what he was thinking and reminded him, “You know how intelligent she is.”
“So what?” Bear just couldn’t believe it, “I’m not as smart as her. But I believe that if I sold her out, she would still count the money for me!”
If Chen Chen knew about the evaluation, she would be unhappy.
“What are you so excited for?” Jiang Rui rolled his eyes at him, thinking that he acted as if Chen Chen were his wife… Ignoring the unhappiness in his mind, he said uncomfortably, “When did I say I suspect her? It can also be a way to protect her, placing a detectaphone. Can’t… can’t it be a way of caring?”
Bear had the expression of being taken for an idiot. Who would do that because of caring about someone!?
“If you don’t want to, tell Scar to do it.”
“I’ll go!” Bear said immediately. Scar had already been bought over by Tuan Zi. And would surely think it was a kind of betrayal to Tuan Zi to do such a thing.
At noon, Chen Chen went to have lunch as usual. She said the minute she saw Jiang Rui, “Those two people have been locked for three days already. Aren’t you going to let them out?”
“Are you begging for forgiveness on their behalf?” Jiang Rui frowned and thought she was really stupid.
Chen Chen poked a meatball hard with a fork as if it were Jiang Rui. “I’m afraid that people may say that you misused your power. What is that look? I know you are scolding me inside.”
“I don’t say it inside. I scold with my mouth.” Jiang Rui slowly ate up the meatball which had been split into two by Chen Chen, “I thought you were too stupid to have sympathy for them.”
“Give me the meatball back!” Chen Chen tried to use her eyes to kill him…
“They framed the kin of a soldier and it is a small punishment to be locked there for a while.” Jiang Rui thought her angry face was funny and placed a sheet of sweet and sour fillet in her bowl, “No one dares to say I misuse my power. Don’t worry.”
Chen Chen pouted and nodded, “I’ll take Tuan Zi to shop this afternoon, to buy the performing clothes for her. Will you go with us?”
That day was on the weekend and Tuan Zi would perform on Sunday in the afternoon.
“Monday is January 1st. Do you have any place in mind that you want to go to?” Jiang Rui thought it was embarrassing to ask that question. So he hurriedly said when he saw Chen Chen’s confused face, “It’s okay if you have no idea. After all, I…” have no time.
“You will take us out to have fun?” Before Jiang Rui could finish his words, Chen Chen shouted excitedly, “Then we can go to the Carnival!” She took out her smartphone and said, “Take a look, here!”
Jiang Rui took her phone and saw an introduction about a New Year’s Carnival, which was about some international amusement park that would stay in the capital for a week.
“Do you want to go?” Chen Chen was full of expectation.
Jiang Rui didn’t dare to see the woman across from him; he just clenched his fist and coughed a bit. Why did he think Chen Chen looked so cute…
“Then… I will go.”
If Chen Chen was a little more careful, she would notice that Jiang Rui’s ears were red. But she was too careless to notice such a thing. She was so happy that she grabbed the phone, “I will get the tickets!”
After five minutes, she looked at Jiang Rui sadly, “There were none… The tickets were all sold out.”
“All sold out?” Seeing her being so sad, Jiang Rui resisted himself from rubbing her head and said, “It’s no big deal. I will have them sent to our home tonight.”
Chen Chen stared at him for a few seconds and then said, “Okay!”
For a man like Jiang Rui, it wouldn’t be a problem to get two tickets!
That afternoon, they picked up Tuan Zi and went to the mall. In Chen Chen’s mind, she would lead the lovely Tuan Zi with the cool and handsome Jiang Rui following them, which would catch so many envious eyes!
She felt really excited about the idea. But in the end, Jiang Rui directly drove the car to a famous store, which Chen Chen had seen before in the magazine. She used to tell Ah Zi about it and said that she would dress her with its clothes every day when she had money.
At the moment, the dream had come true. Even Tuan Zi’s underpants were from that brand.
“Dad! Do I look nice?” Tuan Zi got changed and circled in front of them.
Jiang Rui nodded, “You look great. Now try something else.”
Tuan Zi got changed again, “Dad, is it great?”
“It’s great. Buy some more clothes.” Jiang Rui nodded again.
Tuan Zi continued to change and asked her father how it was every time she went out. Chen Chen crouched on the side while looking at them, feeling desperate.
Why not ask me? Why not ask me?
“Mrs. Jiang, please follow me to get changed!” A clerk stood in front of her and looked at her warmly.
Chen Chen pointed at herself. “Me?”
“Yes, you see, Mr. Jiang has tried it on. It is our new series this year, a parent-child suit!” The clerk shook the clothes in her hand. Chen Chen agreed and followed her to the changing room.
By the time they got seated in the car, Chen Chen was still asking, “Do you really want to put it on?”
“You don’t want me to?” Jiang Rui asked her instead. Since it was a parent-child suit, why couldn’t he wear…
Chen Chen looked at him, “I’m just afraid you wouldn’t go out when you’re dressed in it.”
“You’re afraid that when we all get dressed, Tuan Zi and I will be more good-looking than you, so you’re not confident.” Then Jiang Rui touched Tuan Zi’s head, “Am I right, Tuan Zi?”
Tuan Zi hurriedly explain, “Daddy, you’re wrong. My mum has a really great figure and is properly buxom. If you don’t believe it, we can see together tonight when we take a shower…” Tuan Zi’s mouth was covered by Chen Chen.
“Tuan Zi!” She screamed angrily and desperately, “What are you talking about?”
Jiang Rui glanced at her and said, “Why are you so nervous?”
“I…” Chen Chen bit her teeth and glared at Tuan Zi. Then she just sat at the back and stopped talking.
“Awww… It is so humiliating.”
She had scolded Jiang Rui the previous night when she was sleeping that he scared her when she was showering. It made Chen Chen think Jiang Rui really wanted to wash with them. But at last, he just took a soap and left with one sentence.
“My eyes can tell which part of your body is big when you’re not naked.”
Chen Chen threw a slipper onto the door of the bathroom at the moment.
Some noises came from the computer, and Chen Chen established the connection. When she saw Ah Zi’s face on the screen, she halted and then shouted surprisedly, “Wow, did you get raped? Why do you look so scary?”
Ah Zi looked gaunt and unkempt.
“I’ve been hacking on the Internet for more than ten years. It is the first time that I’ve been so confounded. Damn it! If I can’t get my revenge, I’ll quit!”
“What happened?” Chen Chen asked curiously and then took a cold breath in, “You… were you hacked?”
Ah Zi was crazy on the other side, “Damn it! I spent a whole day and night to block him but failed. He still managed to hack into my computer. Ahahah! Who can it be? Who can be such a pervert?”
“You mean you failed to block him and catch him?” Chen Chen realized the severity of the situation. Though she knew nothing about hacking, she knew that Ah Zi could always make some damage to the others even if she couldn’t block according to Ah Zi’s ability.
But someone managed to hack her computer without getting any harm, which was abnormal indeed!
“To be even worse, do you know what he left for me?” Ah Zi’s face looked like Zhenzi from Ringu, which scared Chen Chen enough to make her tremble.
“Wha… what…?”
