After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

Zhang Caijin continued, "I don't expect you to be as nice to me as before. I just ask you to forgive me and stop mocking me. Can we be friends again?"

Jiang Wan looked like she had heard a joke and looked at Zhang Caijin as if he was a fool.

"I misunderstood you? What misunderstanding? Isn't it true that you are heartless and shameless? And you still want me to be friends with you?"

She rolled her eyes. "Zhang Caijin, you are a scholar, don't you know the rules of gender separation? I'm already married, and you want to be friends with a married woman, what are you thinking?"

"No, that's not what I meant. After all, we are from the same hometown. In the past, we..."

Zhang Caijin hurriedly tried to explain, but swallowed the words back.

The owner of the bookstore suddenly looked at them, and one or two readers came in to buy books.

If they heard it accidentally, wouldn't they laugh at him behind his back?

Zhang Caijin has always been very concerned about his reputation and is arrogant when he is outside. He doesn't want others to know that he is being humble to a woman.

So he changed the topic and said, "Jiang Wan, you misunderstood me too deeply. It won't be explained in a short time. I will come to you after I return to the village."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Wan deeply. The hidden emotions and helplessness in his eyes were moving.

But Jiang Wan just felt disgusted.

Who did Zhang Caijin learn how to pretend to be affectionate and self-moved from?

Doesn't he know that he deserves a beating for his pretentious look?

Jiang Wan frowned and was about to sneer when Xie Lan walked up to her quietly.

"Who are you going to find?"

His tone was cold and full of pressure.

Jiang Wan was used to Xie Lan's indifference. They lived under the same roof and slept in the same bed, so she had to adapt to it no matter how uncomfortable she was.

But Zhang Caijin was not used to it and even took a few steps back in fright.

He thought Xie Lan was going to attack him, so he raised his voice and threatened, "Xie, Brother Xie Lan, this is a bookstore, people are coming and going, don't mess around."

Xie Lan sneered.

"Since it's a bookstore, why did Mr. Zhang come to talk to my wife in such a brazen way?"

His voice was not loud, but Zhang Caijin's voice just now was quite loud, which had attracted two or three customers in the bookstore. Even the bookstore owner and the waiter looked in their direction curiously, their eyes full of excitement of watching a show.

Zhang Caijin felt everyone's attention and said angrily, "Jiang Wan and I are old acquaintances. What's wrong with us talking to each other when we meet occasionally? Xie Lan, you don't have a strong desire to control her, do you?"

Xie Lan pulled his lips, his eyes were cold.

"You are a scholar, and you think you understand the principle of sex not being intimate. Even if you are from the same hometown as her, you should not greet her rashly. Moreover, Jiang Wan is my wife. What on earth are you thinking of taking the initiative to flirt with her under my nose?"

"You, you are talking nonsense! What can I think? I just said a few more words, why do you miss me so much, Xie Lan?"

Zhang Caijin's hands were shaking with anger.

Isn't Xie Lan usually taciturn? Why did he talk so much today?

I still defend what Jiang Wan said.

Could it be that Xie Lan fell in love with Jiang Wan?

When Zhang Caijin thought of this possibility, he felt a sense of crisis.

If Xie Lan also likes Jiang Wan, he will get the upper hand over Jiang Wan because he is close to her. He and Jiang Wan are husband and wife and live under the same roof, so he will definitely have a better chance to get in touch with Jiang Wan than him.

Even though Jiang Wan didn't like Xie Lan, there was no guarantee what means Xie Lan would use.

He must win back Jiang Wan's heart before she falls in love with Xie Lan.

Thinking of this, Zhang Caijin looked at Xie Lan with hostility and jealousy.

"Xie Lan, don't judge others by your own standards. Jiang Wan and I are old acquaintances. We have always had a good relationship. We have always called each other brother and sister. We haven't seen each other for many days. What's wrong with exchanging a few pleasantries?"

"But you, don't take advantage of the fact that she was forced to marry you by her parents as a child and you can control her freedom at will. You get angry and question her when she talks to a man outside. You are really narrow-minded!"

Zhang Caijin put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and spoke confidently.

His words also helped the people who were watching the show around him understand the whole story.

They saw that Zhang Caijin was wearing a cotton and linen shirt, which looked a little shabby, but he had a scholarly air and looked like a child from a poor family.

But Xie Lan was wearing forged clothes, black boots, and had a tall stature and frosty eyes. He did not look like a scholar, but more like a young martial artist from a wealthy family.

Most scholars come from poor families and pride themselves on being noble and aloof. They have always looked down on the behavior of wealthy kids like Xie Lan who have no worries about food and clothing and bully weak scholars.

Therefore, they all became hostile towards Xie Lan and sympathized with Zhang Caijin.

Two scholars could not help but comment: "These dandies think they can look down on others just because they have a few bucks. They force someone else's sister to marry them, and don't even allow them to talk to each other. This is so overbearing and unreasonable, it's really despicable!"

"Just looking at his face, we can tell that this man must have a cold temper and act tyrannically, forcing the delicate girl to obey him. If she refuses, he will beat her up. What a pity..."

Zhang Caijin heard someone speak up for him, and proudly raised his head high, and said to Xie Lan: "Xie Lan, you married my sister, if you don't treat her well, I will never let you go!"

Xie Lan had a cold face throughout the whole process, without any emotional fluctuations.

The provocation from Zhang Caijin and the two scholars was like watching a clown.

Seeing how calm he was, Jiang Wan couldn't remain calm anymore.

When did she become Zhang Caijin's sister?

If you think about it carefully, it is true.

The original owner had expressed her love for Zhang Caijin, but Zhang Caijin did not reject her outright. Instead, he said tactfully, "Wan'er, I have not yet achieved academic success, so I cannot give you a life of luxury. So after I pass the imperial examination, I will marry you in style. Before that, you and I will call each other brother and sister. If people find out about our relationship in the future, you will have an excuse to cover it up, and it will also help preserve your reputation."

The original owner thought this was a good idea at the time. Becoming siblings would give them more excuses to go to the Zhang family to find Zhang Caijin.

Moreover, the original owner also felt that the relationship between brother and sister was closer than their current relationship, so she agreed without hesitation.

When the two meet, they sometimes call each other brother and sister, which is quite interesting.

But in Jiang Wan's opinion, this is not fun at all, it's just fishing.

Or it was Zhang Caijin who unilaterally kept the original owner hanging and eventually hooked him into becoming a black carp.

The so-called brother and sister relationship was just a trick used by Zhang Caijin to deceive the original owner.

If Zhang Caijin really wanted to marry the original owner, would he care about fame and fortune?

It's all just excuses.

Jiang Wan took a step forward, stretched out his hand and pulled Xie Lan back, and Xie Lan obediently stepped back.

"Zhang Caijin, what are you spewing out of your stinky mouth? We are old acquaintances, but we have long since severed our friendship. What qualifications do you have to dictate my life?"

She said to the two scholars, "Xie Lan is my...husband. How do you know how he treats me? You judge whether a person is good or evil based on a few words and appearance. You believe it without any evidence. You are scholars, but you don't have your own opinions and judgment. What's the point of reading more books?"
