While everyone was eating in silence, Jiang Yuxin suddenly expressed concern for Li Xingyi, “Chaoshan-style preserved vegetables are considered raw and cold foods. Mr. Li, it’s better not to eat this. A stomachache won’t do you any good.”

Jiang Yule and Li Xingyi paused their movements at the same time. Then, Li Sui’an suddenly raised his little hand high. Li Xingyi noticed his action and nodded slightly, indicating that he could speak.

Li Sui’an raised his eyebrows slightly. “I know this law. Jiang Yule said that 90% of the world’s tyrants have stomach problems.”

“Is that so? I’m one of the ten percent who doesn’t have stomach problems, then.” The man held his chopsticks with his slender fingers and ate elegantly.

Jiang Yuxin stared intensely at Li Sui’an. The realization that this brat was Li Xingyi’s relative left her with nowhere to vent her frustration and awkwardness. She could only shoot a fierce glare at Jiang Yule.

Jiang Yule had an innocent look on her face, as if she was unaware of it.

‘Yuxin, do you think it’s that easy to be a wealthy man’s wife? You don’t even know that Li Xingyi has a strong stomach, and yet you’re trying to seduce him like this?’

The “iron stomach” Li Xingyi showed a satisfied expression. Even though Jiang Yule was pretending to be different in front of others because of her inheritance, as a wealthy man’s wife, she still possessed the basic professional demeanor. To achieve victory in every battle, one must have a thorough understanding of the enemy.

With a cold glance at the woman across from him, who lacked professional etiquette, Li Xingyi once again halted his actions. His magnetic voice, tinged with a deep tone, resonated next to Jiang Yuxin’s ear. “The rule at my family’s dining table is to eat in silence. You’re being too noisy.”

As soon as Li Xingyi finished speaking, Aunt Wang, who had been eagerly waiting at the side to chase this “outsider” away at any time, walked over quickly. “Kindly leave, Ms. Jiang.”

Jiang Yuxin’s face turned pale, and in her panic, she cast a pleading gaze at Jiang Yule, as if silently asking for her help. Jiang Yule had never been so grateful for her “fragile flower” persona. As a qualified bootlicker, she could confidently say, “I obey everything Master Li says and would never dare to defy him.”

Then, Aunt Wang grabbed Jiang Yuxin’s arm and dragged her out.

After the meal, Li Xingyi had no intention of retreating upstairs, so Jiang Yule had no choice but to accompany him.

Li Xingyi, with Li Sui’an, watched the evening news in the living room. Even if she was not interested, Jiang Yule had to feign interest… Until her phone suddenly rang midway. It was a call from Jiang Yuxin.

It seemed that she still did not wish to give up this rare opportunity to meet Li Xingyi.

She walked to Li Xingyi’s side and said in a submissive tone, “Master Li, may I excuse myself for a while? My sister seems to have something important to tell me.”

‘Hurry up and say that you won’t let me leave. Say it!’

Li Xingyi nodded. “Sure.”

Jiang Yule thought, ‘Am I imagining things? Why does Li Xingyi always seem to be at odds with me lately?’

Reluctantly, Jiang Yule sat in the car and was driven to the entrance of the Li Family’s main residence. The evening breeze carried a dreadful chill, and as expected, she spotted a slender figure huddled by the roadside, looking delicate and charming.

Since Li Xingyi was not present, Jiang Yule did not need to pretend anymore. “If you have something to say, say it.”

Jiang Yuxin’s eyes welled up with tears. “Aren’t you the wife that my brother-in-law married? His housekeeper chased me out and you didn’t even bother to intervene?!”

Jiang Yule scoffed. “Now you’re acknowledging that I’m his official wife?”

Seeing that she showed no intention of helping, Jiang Yuxin grew impatient. “Don’t think too highly of yourself, Jiang Yule. If it weren’t for the fact that a good-for-nothing like you had failed to bring our family any benefits after marrying into the Li Family for two years, would our mother have sent me here? Do you think I wanted this?”

Li Xingyi’s brother’s only wish before he passed away was to see him start a family. Out of the overwhelming number of bachelorettes from prestigious families in the capital, it was the ordinary Jiang Yule who got chosen. If it were not for the fact that Jiang Yule and Jiang Yuxin had so little in common, Mrs. Jiang would have tried to push for Jiang Yuxin to marry into the Li Family instead.

Jiang Yule frowned. “Don’t try to bring up mom to scare me. I’ve been injected with a rabies vaccine. Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

Jiang Yuxin was stunned when she heard that. It took her a while to realize that Jiang Yule was calling her a dog. She was so angry that her lips trembled. “Jiang Yule… You’re ruthless… You will regret this!”

With that, she turned around and left in a huff.

Jiang Yule rolled her eyes at Jiang Yuxin’s retreating figure before she turned around and walked toward the courtyard.

‘Does she really think that she can scare me? Whether this marriage can continue or not depends solely on Li Xingyi’s decision. She’s barking up the wrong tree.’

Naturally, she did not notice the malicious gleam in Jiang Yuxin’s eyes when she turned to give the Li Family’s main residence one last look.
