Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 105: The Grandmaster of Hypocrisy

When Jiang Xingye saw his partner, his icy demeanor dissipated, and his eyes softened as if about to shed tears. The gray wolf he brought circled around Xu Qinghuan, whimpering softly.

Jiang Xingye held its head, and the obedient gray wolf sat on the ground, raising its head as its tail gently swept across the floor.

"I was eating when I heard these people pounding on the door, so I came to check it out!"

Xu Qinghuan faced Jiang Chengxu and his two companions with displeasure, "Early in the morning, did you come to announce a death? Who died that you couldn’t wait a minute longer?"

Xu Manman’s eyes reddened again, "Sister, how can you say that about us? We came, and you didn’t even care to meet us. We came to find you, and you wouldn’t open the door.

If you have issues with me, fine, but Chengxu and Third Brother, do you have misunderstandings with them too?"

Xu Qinghuan leaned against the door frame, arms crossed, "Xu Manman, I’m really tired of your act. Do you know what my current wish is? It’s for you to vanish from my sight immediately."

Xu Manman cried, "Sister, truly, there’s nothing between Chengxu and me. Why don’t you believe me? How long will you misunderstand me?"

Jiang Xingye’s brows furrowed sharply, and sensing his anger, the gray wolf let out a howl towards Xu Manman, leaping up.

Xu Manman was so scared she staggered back, and Jiang Chengxu quickly caught her in time, before Xu Hongtu.

"Qinghuan, if you’re unwilling, then I... I can let her go!" Jiang Chengxu pretended to set Xu Manman down.

Xu Qinghuan sneered coldly, ignored him, and instead took Jiang Xingye’s hand to lead him inside. The gray wolf followed them in with a swagger.

Xu Qinghuan shut the door, with Jiang Chengxu embracing Xu Manman and holding the door back, "Qinghuan, who is he?"

Jiang Chengxu glared at Jiang Xingye, scanning from his face to his broad shoulders, down to Xu Qinghuan’s gripping hand, noting the pronounced knuckles and bulging veins full of power.

"Who he is to me has nothing to do with you. Jiang Chengxu, we’ve already broken off the engagement, there was even a public notice, are you still planning to cling on?"

Pain flashed across Jiang Chengxu’s face, "It was an arrangement between you and my mother. I never agreed to break off the engagement!"

How revolting, Xu Qinghuan was almost nauseated.

She leaned slightly against Jiang Xingye’s arm, "He’s my partner, my future fiancé, my man for life, the future father of my children, got it? If you understand, then get lost!"

With that, she kicked the door shut, catching Jiang Chengxu’s hand in it, making him yelp.

Xu Manman woke up, hiding in Jiang Chengxu’s arms, "Brother Chengxu, that dog is so scary!"

Jiang Chengxu was stunned. Did he hear correctly, that this man is her partner, how could she be with a rural bumpkin?

Despite his concerns about Jiang Xingye, Jiang Chengxu was still unwilling to back down, he pushed Xu Manman aside and rushed into the courtyard, "Xu Qinghuan, stop right there!

You claim he’s your partner, how can you be with a countryman, do you have no shame? How can you show no discernment? Even if you broke off the engagement with me, I don’t blame you, but you can’t out of spite choose such a man just to get back at me!"

Xu Qinghuan scoffed, "Who do you think you are? You think I’m doing this to spite you? Do you city folks think you’re better? What’s so superior about you? Is it just because you laze around the city doing nothing, receiving 27 kilograms of grain for free from the state every month?

Apart from that bit of ration, you can’t even match a single finger of a countryside person, what are you so proud of, looking down on whom? Really have no self-awareness."

The murderous aura around Jiang Xingye gradually dissipated, and he looked down at Xu Qinghuan, his heart filled with joy.

The commotion drew a number of commune members heading to work, and hearing Xu Qinghuan’s words, they began to chatter amongst themselves.

Li Xingzhi spoke, "Xu, you said it well, us country folks may not be much, but at least we don’t eat food for free. Esteemed educated one, if you look down on us so much, why didn’t you stay in the city, what are you doing here in the countryside?"

Xu Manman quickly defended, "Auntie, you misunderstood, Brother Chengxu didn’t mean it that way, my sister misunderstood Brother Chengxu, that’s why she randomly found a partner in the country. Brother Chengxu is just afraid my sister will regret it, he doesn’t mean anything else." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Li Xingzhi was a bit dazed, "Ah, how could it be random? How can you speak like that, besides, what does Xu finding a partner have to do with this Brother Chengxu!"

Xu Manman fidgeted, "It’s not entirely unrelated, Brother Chengxu used to have an engagement with my sister."

Li Xingzhi’s mouth gaped wide, and it took a while to close, unsure of what to say.

Xu Qinghuan scoffed, "Auntie Xingzhi, this is my cousin Xu Manman. My engagement with Comrade Jiang Chengxu was dissolved because Comrade Jiang tangled with my cousin. He even got caught and detained by the Red Guards. I disdain this kind of man, and anyway, this engagement was arranged by my biological mother, it wasn’t my wish.

If my cousin continues to fabricate stories and ruin my reputation in the production team, Auntie Xingzhi, do help clarify things for me."

The color drained from Xu Manman and Jiang Chengxu’s faces, the two were in disbelief as they looked at Xu Qinghuan.

The former Xu Qinghuan wasn’t like this: timid, cowardly, without opinions. How could she now be so resolute, giving no quarter?

Li Xingzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Xu, you rest assured, you and Little Five are partners, so from now on, you’re one of our production team. Anyone who dares to sully your name, I’ll tear their mouth apart."

She gave Xu Manman a meaningful glance.

Xu Manman cried out, "Sister, I’ve explained to you so many times, we’re sisters, why won’t you believe me..."

"Scram!" Xu Qinghuan raised her hand, "If you come acting in front of me again, I’ll tear your mouth apart too."

Xu Hongtu stepped forward, pulling Xu Manman behind him, "Qinghuan, how can you treat Manman this way, she’s always considerate of you, always has you in her heart. Is your conscience not hurting?"

Xu Manman tugged on Xu Hongtu’s sleeve, "Third Brother, don’t blame Sister, blame me instead. It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have always wanted to be close to Sister, I didn’t mean to get too close to Brother Chengxu, which led to Sister’s misunderstanding."

Qiao Xinyu clicked their tongue twice, turning to Yu Xiaomin, "See that, a master at being two-faced!"

Yu Xiaomin was practically fuming with rage, really wanting to give this woman a hard slap.

Xu Hongtu hadn’t forgotten their purpose for coming, pointing at Qiao Xinyu and Yu Xiaomin, "You make them go back to the educated youth spot, I, Manman, and Chengxu will stay with you here. We are the family, living together is better for taking care of you!"

Xu Qinghuan laughed in anger, "Xu Hongtu, since I left the Xu Family, we are no longer a family. I didn’t expect you all to come to Shangjiang Team, but I don’t want to see you, nor do I want to see you jumping around in front of me.

I’m renting this house, and if you want to move in, first, you have to pay, and second, it depends on whether the landlord is willing to rent it to you."
