Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 278: Mutual Destruction

After the intense moment, their foreheads touched, their breaths intermingled.

Jiang Xingye held her up, her legs wrapped around his waist. Possibly drained of energy, Jiang Xingye took two steps back and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Her gaze originally dropped, seeing an indescribable scene, she averted her eyes and simply rested her head on his shoulder.

Her heart felt sweet.

She liked his domineering and assertive nature, after all, she was that kind of person too.

Indeed, if a man and a woman haven’t reached that step, no matter what, there would still be some distance and reservations. But once a certain line is crossed, or if something is done, it’s different than if it wasn’t done.

She gently bit Jiang Xingye’s neck, he turned his head, seemingly in disbelief, "Weren’t you just begging for mercy?"

Begging for mercy now, Jiang Xingye was really worried about his future.

"If I didn’t beg for mercy, would I still be here?" Xu Qinghuan asked confidently, "If you’re not afraid, I’m not afraid. Also, my birthday hasn’t come yet."

Her delicate fingers poked his chest, Jiang Xingye’s throat felt a bit dry, and he grabbed her mischievous finger, "Wife, spare me. It’s very hard for me to endure."

He caught her hand and lowered it, Xu Qinghuan instinctively struggled, burrowing into his arms.

Jiang Xingye was just messing around with her, not intending to force her. As the two were playfully fighting, the door was knocked on, and Qiao Xinyu called from outside.

"Huanhuan, that idiot Xu Manman is here, kneeling at the door. I brought a lot of people to watch, saying she wants you to take her in."

"Alright!" Xu Qinghuan’s mood instantly changed upon hearing this.

Her voice was suspiciously hoarse, and she coughed twice to mask it. She took a sip of water Jiang Xingye handed over.

Jiang Xingye also took a sip himself.

Xu Qinghuan’s hair was a bit messy, and Jiang Xingye went out first, standing at the doorway to look outside.

Sure enough, Xu Manman was kneeling in the mud, crying uncontrollably, "Sister, please be kind and help us. You have plenty of money, and we can barely eat. Can you really bear to watch me, Brother Chengxu, and the child inside me not survive?"

"We can’t even eat or have a place to stay. I’m begging you, for the sake of my mom raising you for fourteen years, please take us in!"

Jiang Xingye stood under the eaves, and coldly said, "Get lost!"

But Xu Manman wasn’t afraid of him. She could tell that this ruffian might be fierce, but he generally wouldn’t lay his hands on women, especially since she’s pregnant.

If Jiang Xingye were to hit her and cause serious harm, it would play right into her hands.

Not only could she get rid of the trouble in her belly, but she could also get compensation.

Otherwise, Jiang Xingye would have to pay for her demise.

Xu Manman guessed right, Jiang Xingye indeed couldn’t do anything to her.

But she guessed wrong, Jiang Xingye could still take a roundabout approach.

"Get lost or not, if you don’t, I’ll throw your man up the mountain to feed the wolves."

Xu Manman was shocked, raising her head, "Brother-in-law, please let my sister come out. I have something to say to her."

"Get lost! Who’s your brother-in-law? Who the hell knows who your mom had you with? What does it have to do with my wife?" He threatened again, "Get lost or not? Hu Hai, go find Jiang Chengxu, ask if he’s coming to take this woman back. If he doesn’t come, I’ll go get him!"

Hu Hai replied with an "Alright," anyway, he was already drenched and didn’t care as long as he didn’t miss any gossip.

The ultimate level of gossip is occasionally acting as a melon in the melon field for fun.

Jiang Chengxu slumped in his chair, planning to wait until the rain eased, then go to the brigade office for an introduction letter to stay at the county’s guesthouse for a few days. Once the weather cleared, he’d come back, spending a few dozen yuan to build a house like Zheng Siqi’s, living alone was quite free.

Hu Hai came over, "Jiang Zhiqing, your wife is making a scene at Xu Zhiqing’s house. My Wild Brother sent me to ask if you care. If you don’t, he’ll take care of you!"

Jiang Chengxu didn’t understand, mainly because the words "your wife" weren’t explicitly pointing to him.

Fortunately, he wasn’t stupid and soon realized that even though his marriage certificate with Xu Manman wasn’t legally valid, public order and good customs could still bind him.

He didn’t dare confront Jiang Xingye openly, especially since he still wanted to please Xu Qinghuan.

Hu Hai went to find Jiang Chengxu, Xu Manman instinctively felt scared, but remembering Jiang Chengxu’s attitude towards her, she also decided to break the pot and let it break. Could she not even ask Xu Qinghuan for some relief?

"What are you doing?" Jiang Chengxu looked down at Xu Manman kneeling on the ground, this woman was now really breaking his understanding of her step by step.

Seeing this woman kneeling and making a scene, Jiang Chengxu wished he could go back in time and slap himself.

It wasn’t just Xu Manman’s face that was being lost.

If not for being at Xu Qinghuan’s door, he really wanted to kick Xu Manman.

"Brother Chengxu, we have no place to live, no stove to cook, I’m hungry, and the baby in my belly has nothing to eat. I want to ask my sister to take us in."

At the very least, giving her a couple hundred would do.

Xu Qinghuan was living such a good life, yet she couldn’t even have a full meal, why should that be?

Jiang Chengxu felt utterly humiliated, throwing ten yuan at Xu Manman, "Why aren’t you leaving yet?"

Xu Manman thought the money was little, holding it without moving, so Jiang Chengxu had to take out another ten yuan, "Are you leaving or not?"

Only then did Xu Manman get up and followed Jiang Chengxu back to the youth spot. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

When they returned to the east wing, Jiang Chengxu, unable to bear it, slapped Xu Manman across the face. He had taken note just now, not seeing Xu Qinghuan come out, who knows how she’s laughing at him behind his back.

Back then, bewitched by Xu Manman, he always spoke well of her in front of Xu Qinghuan. Now looking back, he felt so foolish.

Jiang Chengxu, used to being arrogant, found his biggest defeat in life was brought by this foolish woman Xu Manman, how could he tolerate it?

Xu Manman wasn’t a pushover either, mainly because now, since Jiang Chengxu married her, not only did he lack tenderness, not acknowledging the child in her belly, but he was eyeing Xu Qinghuan with such a face.

Why should that be?

"You hit me! You actually dared to hit me!" Xu Manman was also angry, "My brother went to jail for you, you married me, yet you’re still thinking of Xu Qinghuan. What do you think would happen if I told Jiang Xingye you’re still thinking of Xu Qinghuan?"

As soon as Jiang Xingye called, Hu Hai came to shout, Jiang Chengxu would run over.

It showed how much he feared Jiang Xingye.

Jiang Chengxu’s little dignity was torn down by Xu Manman, thrown to the ground and trampled on. He was furious, grabbing Xu Manman’s neck, "Go on, I dare you to go, go!"

Xu Manman couldn’t breathe, struggling with all her might until her eyes closed, her body limp and sliding down. Only then did Jiang Chengxu suddenly let go, scared senseless, hurriedly slapping Xu Manman’s cheeks.

Xu Manman was lucky, shaken two or three times by Jiang Chengxu, she actually came back to life.

She gave a sinister smile, "Go on, kill me if you can. If you don’t, I’ll report you, say you tried to kill me!"

Her throat hurt terribly, bruised and battered, but thanks to Jiang Chengxu’s lack of strength, she was given a chance to escape death.
