Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 267: After Kicking Out the Scumbag, the Indifferent Buddhist Heir Dotes on His Wife 67
"Is the food ready yet? Hurry up! Don’t force me to hit you on such a joyous day!"
As this voice carried over, Bai Yueyou, standing in the kitchen, couldn’t help but glance again at the live broadcast of the wedding of the century on her phone.
Bai Yueyou looked down at herself, wearing an apron, and her hatred for Su Zhiruan deepened even more.
Perhaps out of a desire to compete and win, Jiang Beiyu had also chosen to marry Bai Yueyou today.
To call it a marriage was a stretch—it was nothing more than obtaining a marriage certificate without a ceremony, without guests, without a wedding dress, and without the witness of parents.
The civil affairs bureau staff even thought they were there for a divorce when they first laid eyes on Bai Yueyou and Jiang Beiyu.
Bai Yueyou did find some joy inside, believing that Jiang Beiyu agreed to the marriage certificate because he had recognized her worth through her efforts and chose to marry her over that slut Su Zhiruan.
Even without a wedding dress or ceremony, she convinced herself that such things were mere accessories. She wasn’t like the gold-digging Su Zhiruan; she didn’t need these things to adorn herself. Moreover, since Jiang Beiyu had accumulated a lot of debt, as the sensible one, she couldn’t add to the burden of their household.
Thus, Bai Yueyou didn’t bring it up, and both Jiang Beiyu and his mother were happy to see it happen. After they got the certificate, they became even more unscrupulous in ordering her around.
Watching the live broadcast on her phone, Bai Yueyou saw Su Zhiruan dressed in a snow-white trailing wedding gown, walking hand in hand with her parents towards Zhou Mingyu. It was a lavish and solemn scene at a castle, funded by a substantial investment.
At that moment, Bai Yueyou was seething with envy.
Why?! Why should this be?!
She had stolen the man Su Zhiruan loved, and she should have been the winner in life! Su Zhiruan should be the one desperately begging her own husband?!
But why had things turned out this way?!
She had lowered herself to be with Jiang Beiyu, and she had never imagined this would be the outcome.
When Bai Yueyou still hadn’t served up the meal, Jiang Beiyu, with rage boiling over, stormed in and kicked her twice, causing her to groan. Her phone fell to the floor, and the live broadcast continued in front of Jiang Beiyu.
Jiang Beiyu was naturally aware that Su Zhiruan and Zhou Mingyu were getting married today, but he had no intention of touching his phone or watching the live broadcast to upset himself. However, he hadn’t expected that Bai Yueyou would sneakily watch the live broadcast of Su Zhiruan’s wedding.
He cursed furiously, "Slut, did I tell you to watch this? What are you trying to do?! Still watching after getting the certificate, aren’t you considering cheating? Have some decency. What are you dissatisfied with about being married to me?"
As he spoke, he kicked Bai Yueyou several more times.
Jiang’s mother chimed in sarcastically from the side, "She thinks too highly of herself! She wanted to seduce that man before. Beiyu, you really need to keep an eye on your wife, or she might run off without you knowing."
Stirred up by his mother’s words, Jiang Beiyu became even more enraged and didn’t stop beating Bai Yueyou even as she pleaded for mercy.
When the neighbors downstairs heard the heart-wrenching screams, they almost thought someone had been killed and quickly called the police.
It wasn’t until the police arrived that Jiang Beiyu finally stopped.
"Someone said you were killing someone, is that true?" The police officer looked at Jiang Beiyu and frowned repeatedly.
Jiang Beiyu shook his head obsequiously, "No, my wife and I just got our marriage certificate; I wouldn’t do such a thing. Officer, you must have made some mistake."
"We need to inspect." The police officer wasn’t exactly unfamiliar with Jiang Beiyu; his actions had been so repulsive that they had become known throughout the police station.
The neighbors whispered among themselves, their voices low enough to be intimate yet loud enough for Jiang Beiyu’s family to overhear.
"I think this family is mentally ill. We’re really cursed to have them as neighbors. We’re moving away next month. Today they’re hitting their own family; who knows if they’ll start hitting the children playing outside tomorrow."
"Count me in for moving. My grandson sees this madness every day, and it’s sure to scare him. My daughter-in-law says this time is crucial for a child’s personality development. If they run into a madman, it certainly won’t be good for my grandson’s growth."
"You’re right, your daughter-in-law is wise. Speaking of domestic abusers, I heard he’s caused his wife to miscarry eight times! And to think, she hasn’t even left him; they’re already married!"

Idle chatter surrounds Jiang Beiyu, but he remains utterly oblivious.
After the police investigated and found nothing amiss, they asked Bai Yueyou, "Ma’am, has your husband been hitting you?"
"No!" Bai Yueyou quickly jumped up to answer, waving her hands, "Officer, we’re a family. How could he hit me? It’s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
The neighbor who had originally wanted to call the police to help Bai Yueyou now felt half-hearted.
With Bai Yueyou’s response, she was openly slapping him in the face. Her words suggested he was meddling in others’ business, weren’t they?
The other neighbors cast cold looks at Bai Yueyou. He had wanted to help her out of goodwill but had been backstabbed by her. So from now on, he would no longer concern himself with the affairs of this family.
The other neighbors had also come to understand the true nature of the situation; they all adjusted their standards of judgment. Since she did not appreciate their help, they felt justified in turning a blind eye to her plight.
They just hoped the mentally troubled family would not bother them in the future.

Compared to the chaos at Jiang Beiyu’s, Su Zhiruan’s side was proceeding in an orderly fashion. After the ceremony was over, she and Zhou Mingyu respectfully served tea to their parents and elders from both families.
The Zhou Family highly valued blood relations. From the senior Zhou to Zhou Mingyu’s father, the line was direct, and no other Zhou relatives dared to dictate terms.
The comfortable life they were leading today was all thanks to the senior Zhou, Zhou Mingyu’s father, and Zhou Mingyu himself.
Unless someone was tired of living well, they wouldn’t pick on the new bride.
On the Su Family’s side, relatives used to pick fights and cause trouble every year.
With Mr. and Mrs. Su being too timid, they always swallowed their grievances, but this time, after learning that Su Zhiruan had married Zhou Mingyu and entered the Zhou Family, none of these relatives dared to say a word. They didn’t even dare breathe too loud, shrinking into a corner like quails, fearing reprisal from Mr. and Mrs. Su.
"Uncle, why are you hiding? Normally you have so much to say!" After serving tea, Su Zhiruan, hand in hand with Zhou Mingyu, approached to greet the relatives.
Uncle Su trembled, his facial expression stiffening considerably, "Ah… Ruanruan... this... The stars today are you and Young Master Zhou. Go serve tea over there with him. Don’t mind us."
"How could I not?" Su Zhiruan moved forward with her parents, her smile beaming, "I remember uncle used to mock my parents for being incapable of having a son. I’m curious where your son has found success now?"
"I..." Uncle Su wanted to say something, but the moment he caught sight of Zhou Mingyu, he gulped down his words. No matter his dissatisfaction, with Zhou Mingyu around, Su Zhiruan’s family status was no longer the same, "Ruanruan, your uncle was wrong before. I know my mistake now!"
Su Zhiruan sneered. What mistake did he recognize? He was just afraid of Zhou Mingyu making a move!
