Chapter 1241: 305: So mad that my face is distorted

Cao Xiaomei is not someone who gives in easily.

She’s even less likely to believe in fate.

To expect her to just give up the wealth and honor right in front of her eyes is impossible, especially since she has fallen for Wu Chenjun long ago.

It was merely that her family background was poor before, and she had no opportunity to get close to Wu Chenjun.

This time, having finally obtained a chance to get close to Wu Chenjun, she was determined to win him over.

On the other side.

Wu Chenjun locked the door of his room from the inside, making sure it couldn’t be opened from the outside, before he went to bed to rest.

The next morning, Wu Chenjun went to Madam Wu’s bedroom.

Cao Xiaomei was combing Madam Wu’s hair.

“Brother Chen Jun,” Cao Xiaomei took the initiative to greet him, looking much more obedient.

“Step outside for a moment.”

“Alright.” Cao Xiaomei put down the comb and turned to leave.

After Cao Xiaomei left, Madam Wu looked up at Wu Chenjun, “Chen Jun, do you have something to tell me?”

Wu Chenjun nodded, “Grandma, this Cao Xiaomei is not to be trusted. Please be more vigilant around her.”

After all, this was his own grandmother; Wu Chenjun didn’t expect that she too would have been involved in this matter, and he thought that Madam Wu was completely unaware.

“Untrustworthy? What has she done exactly?” Madam Wu said, “I think this young girl is quite nice!”

Wu Chenjun frowned slightly, “Some people can’t be judged by appearances! If you notice anything odd, fire her immediately!”

Madam Wu looked at Wu Chenjun, her tone somewhat unpleasant, “Chen Jun, do you have a problem with me, your grandmother?”

Wu Chenjun felt it was absurd, “Not at all! Grandma, why would you say that!”

“Stop pretending!” Madam Wu’s face darkened, “I know you have issues with me, your grandmother! Otherwise, why would you keep picking faults with those around me! What has Xiaomei done to you! You accuse her of being untrustworthy!”

“Xiaomei simply asked for your help last night when the light was broken! So what if you didn’t want to help, but now you’re plotting against her from behind! Don’t you know how important reputation is to a girl’s family?”

“Chen Jun! I’ve noticed you’ve changed since you got married! You’ve become someone who doesn’t even consider me, your grandmother!”

By the end, Madam Wu slammed the table forcefully.

Wu Chenjun frowned, “She’s just an outsider, do you have to get so angry? And I’m doing this for your own good! Am I not worried about you getting deceived?”

“Xiaomei is my kinswoman!” Madam Wu slapped the table again.

The Wu Chenjun of the past would have never defied her.

And now, he had changed to such an extent!

Madam Wu was very angry, so much so that she was nearly unable to breathe.

“Alright, alright, I won’t interfere anymore, alright? Don’t be angry,” Wu Chenjun continued, “But I must say something unpleasant upfront—if Cao Xiaomei misbehaves again, don’t blame me for disregarding your feelings!”

After saying that, Wu Chenjun turned and left.

Outside the door, seeing that Wu Chenjun had left, Cao Xiaomei hurried into the room, “Madam Wu, are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Madam Wu waved her hand, “It looks like Chen Jun is really angry this time, you better be extra cautious these days.”

Cao Xiaomei nodded, “Understood.”

In the following days, Cao Xiaomei was very well-behaved, sticking to the rules.

For someone like Wu Chenjun, she knew she needed to take things slowly and not rush.

Seven days later, Shangguan Xi returned from a business trip.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. That night, the two of them were entangled with each other until dawn.

Shangguan Xi, of course, couldn’t get up in the morning.

Willing to please his wife, Wu Chenjun rolled up his sleeves and started cooking breakfast himself.

Seeing Wu Chenjun busy in the kitchen by himself, Cao Xiaomei knew her opportunity had come and approached cautiously, “Brother Chen Jun, let me help you.”

“No need, get out!” Wu Chenjun’s voice was a bit cold.

By now, he had absolutely no affection for Cao Xiaomei!

Moreover, he was more worried about Shangguan Xi getting the wrong idea.

He knew that many loving married couples had fallen out due to groundless misunderstandings, ultimately ending up with irreconcilable differences.

The most painful thing in the world is when lovers part ways because of misunderstanding.

Shangguan Xi was someone he had managed to win over with great difficulty; he had to keep her at all costs.
