Li Changpu's steps were swift and powerful, like lightning accompanied by strong wind in the dark night, which made people feel frightened for no reason.

Jiang Tingxia was standing in the yard. She saw him coming from afar. Just as she was about to say hello, she saw Li Changpu staring at her with his eyes and rushing towards her like an angry lion.

"Jiang Tingxia, you did a good thing."

Listening to his angry questioning, Jiang Tingxia was confused. What nonsense was he saying?

"What did I do?"

Li Changpu stood in front of her, his tall figure approaching, his terrifying aura particularly oppressive, "You're showing off here!"

Jiang Tingxia was frightened by his appearance and reached out to push him away. Facing the sturdy man, her voice was a little weak, "Don't come over here, go away."

Just as she was about to make a move, Li Changpu grabbed her arm. Her slender arm was easily controlled by him, and Jiang Tingxia could not move at all.

Li Changpu gritted her teeth, her face tense with anger, "Put away your big lady temper, no one here will buy your tricks."

When Jiang Tingxia heard him say this, it was like a thorn in her heart. He called her "Miss" in this angry, strange, and sarcastic tone.

She was angry and sad. After she learned the truth that she was deceived into marrying for someone else, she realized that she, Jiang Tingxia, was not a young lady at all! She was just the extra one who occupied the magpie's nest, an orphan who didn't know who her parents were, and a fake who was ruthlessly abandoned by her family who had lived with her for more than ten years. Such a person, with no way to come and no way to return, her fate was like a small boat in the vast ocean. She married him in a muddle and could only rely on him to live. What temper could she have? Hadn't she been keeping a low profile during this period? But in return, he accused her of being a young lady and showing off in such a bad tone.

"Li Changpu, please tell me clearly, what did I do to show off?"

Li Changpu stared at her with his dark eyes, and said in a cold tone, "You said that my sister-in-law is too cheap to pay for your watch, right?"

Jiang Tingxia frowned when she heard this. It turned out to be about this matter. She was about to explain, "That's because..."

Li Changpu suddenly raised his voice and interrupted her fiercely, "Did you say that?"

"You want people to kneel down to you?"

Li Changpu gripped her arm even harder, "Is that so?"

Li Changpu's angry face was filled with pity, "I thought you just had a bad temper, but, Jiang Tingxia, you are more unruly and hateful than I thought."

Li Changpu looked at Jiang Tingxia's trembling eyelashes, and her heart was in a knot. This woman, with such a pair of lively and beautiful eyes, was such a person!

Jiang Tingxia only felt that her arms were being held by a pair of iron clamps, as if squeezing her bones through her skin and flesh, causing her tears to well up in pain.

Jiang Tingxia tried not to cry out loud, but she still cried as soon as she spoke, "So? I can't say a harsh word when someone steals my things, or I'll be considered hateful? What do you want me to do, greet them with a smile? Or hand the things over to them?"

Li Changpu's hands loosened a little, "Stealing? What do you mean?"

Jiang Tingxia immediately pulled her arm back and looked at him, trying hard not to let the tears fall from her eyes. Looking at the purple hand marks on her wrist, her eyes were filled with tears. "Can I explain? Can you listen to my explanation?"

He was so aggressive just now that he didn't give her a chance to explain.

Seeing her like this, Li Changpu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He didn't have time to retract his arm, and his empty palm remained in the air with her body temperature still remaining in his palm. Then, it turned cold in an instant.

After Jiang Tingxia calmed down, he slowly told what had happened.

Guo Gang and Li Chunmiao also rushed over and interrupted their conversation.

Guo Gang and Li Chunmiao noticed that the atmosphere between the two people standing in the yard was not right. Li Changpu's tall figure looked a little lonely, while Jiang Tingxia had red eyes. The two didn't know how to start the conversation for a while.

They were determined that Li Changpu would not offend his colleagues for a woman, and Jiang Tingxia was a woman, no matter how powerful she was, she could not defeat the boss.

Guo Gang pushed Li Chunmiao.

Li Chunmiao walked up and handed the prepared money to Jiang Tingxia, "Sister, I've brought you the 100 yuan you mentioned."

Jiang Tingxia didn't answer. She glared at Li Changpu, then glared at the couple, and turned to go into the house. Li Chunmiao was anxious and quickly held her back, "Sister, just take the money. If you really can't do it, I'll kneel down for you."

Li Chunmiao grabbed Jiang Tingxia's clothes and knelt down in the yard with a plop, not forgetting to sneak a peek at Li Changpu's reaction.

Li Chunmiao grabbed the corner of her clothes tightly, and Jiang Tingxia was annoyed by her pulling, "Li Chunmiao, when did I ask you to kneel down?"

"You insisted on kneeling, and then you came to him and made up stories about me."

Li Chunmiao heard this and shook his head to deny it, "I didn't."

Jiang Tingxia pointed at Li Changpu and asked, "What did you say to him? Why did he look like he wanted to eat someone?"

After these words were spoken, Li Changpu, a grown man, standing in his own yard, felt a little awkward.

Seeing that Li Changpu had no reaction, Li Chunmiao quickly took out the words he had prepared long ago. Anyway, what she said were all ambiguous, and it was Li Changpu who had the wrong idea, so who could be blamed? "It wasn't me who said that. I just said a few words and Captain Li stormed off. I guess he didn't understand and there was a misunderstanding, so I quickly came to explain."

"I really didn't say anything. I just asked Captain Li to say a few good words for me in front of you. My child is still young, so please don't bother with a child, sister-in-law."

After hearing what Li Chunmiao said, Jiang Tingxia knew that she still didn't think she was wrong. She just had to admit her mistake because the truth was revealed. "Li Chunmiao, you keep saying that the child is ignorant, but your son has admitted that it was you who taught him to hide the watch. So many people heard it. Don't try to make excuses. Do you want me to call all those people who were here during the day to confront you?"

Li Chunmiao immediately stopped him and said, "No, don't go and call for help."

She was embarrassed enough during the day.

Jiang Tingxia snorted coldly and continued, "The child is ignorant, and the adults don't teach him, but encourage him to do stupid things. You are just hoping for the best, using the excuse that the child is still young. In fact, you are the one who wanted to steal my watch from the beginning."

The whole story was revealed and Li Chunmiao had no way to deny it.

Now that there were no onlookers, she felt less psychologically burdened and confessed her guilt. "Yes, yes, yes, I know I was wrong. I was bewitched and stole your watch. You have reason to be angry. It's nothing to scold me. As long as you feel relieved and don't pursue this matter, I can beat you or scold you as much as you want."

Jiang Tingxia glanced at Li Changpu and said, "I didn't hit you or scold you, but you got criticized. How dare I hit you or scold you? Who am I trying to show off to?"

Li Changpu lowered his head lower and lower. Jiang Tingxia was saying this for him.

Li Chunmiao saw that Jiang Tingxia refused to take the money, and became anxious, "Sister, just take the money and don't bother with us."

Jiang Tingxia: "Didn't you say you couldn't take out the money? It's only been a short while and you can take it out again."

"Li Chunmiao, is there a single word of truth in your mouth?"

Li Chunmiao was about to cry when asked, "I have finally saved up for so many years, and this is all the savings my family has. I beg you to accept it."

Jiang Tingxia: "One hundred was the price just now, now it has to be doubled."

Li Chunmiao and Guo Gang shouted at the same time, "Why?"

Jiang Tingxia glanced at Li Changpu and said, "Of course it's because I'm unruly, hateful, and unreasonable."

Li Changpu stood in the yard, his back as straight as a poplar, silent.

These words were clearly directed at him, returning to him what he had just said to her.

Two hundred yuan! Guo Gang felt so painful that his heart was bleeding. He couldn't help but took two steps forward and yelled at Jiang Tingxia, "Don't go too far."

Before he could reach Jiang Tingxia, Li Changpu, who had been motionless and expressionless, stepped forward and blocked in front of him. His eyes were like bloodthirsty wolves in the dark night, "Guo Gang!"

There was a hint of anger in his voice as if he had been deceived. It was clear that what the couple had just said was intended to divert his thoughts.

Li Changpu doesn't seem to be anything special in his daily life, he's a quiet guy, but Guo Gang has performed missions with him before and has seen how ruthless and efficient he is when it comes to dealing with his enemies, he can break a person's neck in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Li Changpu's eyes full of anger, Guo Gang was so scared that his legs went limp. He dared not move forward any more and could only say in a gentle voice, "Brother, please talk to my sister-in-law. Two hundred is really too much. We have known each other for so many years. We are still neighbors. We will see each other every day. Don't make things too ugly."

Li Changpu stared at him viciously, which made Guo Gang feel uneasy. Why did this Li Changpu suddenly become so unkind? I heard that he was like a money-giving boy. Whenever someone had difficulties making ends meet, they would come to him and he would never refuse. Moreover, he never asked anyone to pay back the money. Guo Gang thought that he must be young and thin-skinned and was embarrassed to be so fussy about money. But now, why did he suddenly keep his eyes on the money?

Li Changpu pointed at Li Chunmiao who was kneeling on the ground and said, "You have heard clearly what Jiang Tingxia said. Now, take her away and don't come to my house again."

Li Changpu didn't even call him brother, which showed that he was angry and had a falling out with Guo Gang.

Guo Gang panicked. Compared with his friendship with Li Changpu, money was nothing. After all, Li Changpu's ability was there, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he would achieve great things in the future. He would definitely need his care. He did not dare to focus on money anymore, and quickly explained to Li Changpu, "Brother Li, it's not a big deal, it's not a big deal..."

Li Changpu said coldly, without showing any mercy, "Also, watch your mouth."

"You can go."
