Chapter 521: Threatening People Is My Specialty
Jiang Muye nodded. "That's right. Only having one woman in this lifetime is too tragic. In my next life, I should find a few more women."
The moment the words left his mouth, Leng Ruoli smacked him. Her round eyes glared at him. "Hey!"
"Think about it. I've only got you, and we're about to get married. I'm really taking a loss here," Jiang Muye said, laughing.
Leng Ruoli smacked his arm and complained, "You liked Xia Xiran before, you just didn't manage to win her over. Now that's a real loss for me. I only like you, and I'm only with you!"
"What's this? You want to be with other men too? Not allowed!" The playful grin on Jiang Muye's face vanished as he suddenly became domineering and forceful. He pulled Leng Ruoli into his arms.
He lowered his head and bit her cheek. Leng Ruoli laughed and pinched his face, responding, "I'd say it's worth it! Liking one person is way better than liking a dozen. Such a huge bargain landed in my lap, I'm secretly thrilled."
"Tsk tsk tsk. You never used to say things like that. Have you changed?" Jiang Muye pinched her little face. Leng Ruoli's red lips pouted, and instinctively, he sealed them with a kiss.
Fragrant and sweet.
Too biteable. It was a delicious sweetness.
Especially seeing Leng Ruoli's dazzling, beautiful face, Jiang Muye felt happy inside.
"Heh, with you, I definitely have to have a sense of self-preservation." Leng Ruoli's lips curved into a shallow arc.
Jiang Muye tapped her nose and replied with a smile, "We're already together. What do you need self-preservation for? How much have I put up with being with you?"
Leng Ruoli's little face flushed bright red. "I have not!"
"Look at you. Your stomach always hurts during that time of the month—who's the one who brews brown sugar water for you? Sometimes you throw little tantrums. Especially when you wake up grumpy. If you didn't sleep well, you cry; if you can't wake up, you throw a fit. Look at how pitiful I am," Jiang Muye said with a laugh.
"You, just stop going around wrecking other people's lives. Wreck mine and that's enough!"
Leng Ruoli's face was bright red from his words. She pounded his body a few times. "How am I that bad! Now you're even starting to mock me. Then I won't marry you!"
"Don't be like that. I'm already used to you. You can't just turn around and leave, or I'd be so miserable." Jiang Muye wrapped his arms around her waist, letting Leng Ruoli lean against his chest.
A radiant smile appeared on Leng Ruoli's face.
She leaned in and kissed Jiang Muye's thin lips. "In this life, through life and death, only you. Having met you, I can't settle for anyone else."
Jiang Muye grinned and ruffled Leng Ruoli, kissing her hair fiercely.
Leng Ruoli laughed. "Alright, you're way too enthusiastic!"
"Kissing my future darling, of course I have to be enthusiastic." Jiang Muye's lips curled. "Right, Darling?"
"You're not wrong. Whatever you say makes sense." Leng Ruoli reached out and gently pinched Jiang Muye's cheek, then leaned delicately against his chest.
Jiang Muye enjoyed the warmth between them, thinking the winter night was so comfortable.
For Jiang Muye, it was comfortable, but for others, a disaster was unfolding.
Xiang Shan woke up early in the morning feeling like her head was empty.
What was going on? She had no idea why her brain felt like it had short-circuited. Last night, after she saw Jiang Muye appear on stage, she couldn't remember a single specific thing he said.
She had actually slept until mid-morning?
Xiang Shan was a bit dazed. After getting out of bed, she saw the image playing on the living room television and completely broke down.
"What the hell!"
It was actually footage of her last night, praising Jiang Muye endlessly and even telling the butler to send over the household register!
That wasn't right. Last night, she had been firmly opposed to Jiang Muye being with her daughter!
After that, it was like a fragment of a dream—she had no memory at all.
Logically, something like that shouldn't happen. So how did it happen!
She hadn't been drunk last night. How had she said all those senseless things like she'd been hexed!
Xiang Shan was utterly baffled. She immediately called Leng Ruoli's phone.
"Mom, when are we arranging for the parents to meet?" Leng Ruoli's excited voice came through the receiver.
"I… why would I meet with his parents!" Xiang Shan gritted her teeth.
"Why not arrange it?" The phone was snatched away.
Jiang Muye's rich, magnetic voice rang out.
Facing Jiang Muye, Xiang Shan's expression turned ugly.
"Why should I!"
"You agreed to it yourself last night," Jiang Muye pressed.
"I was out of my mind last night. It doesn't count!" Xiang Shan was frantic.
"But you still said it out loud, and there's video proof. You're not going to go back on your word, are you? If you don't remember clearly, just watch the video a few more times. Everything you said is right there on it." Jiang Muye spoke smugly. "You're a CEO of a publicly listed company, you have to keep your word. If you go back on it over such a small thing, what will your employees and partners think of you?"
Jiang Muye continued, "If you go back on your word, I'll post it on social media and let the public get justice for me. What do you think?"
Xiang Shan's breathing stopped.
She had never imagined she could still be threatened by Jiang Muye now.
If this video got out and she didn't comply with Jiang Muye, she would indeed be criticized.
Xiang Shan was filled with regret and immediately smacked her own head.
What had happened to her last night? How had she said so many outrageous things and now fallen into someone's trap!
"You're ruthless!"
"You flatter me." Jiang Muye replied with a smile.
"In the business world, there's no such thing as a naive little sweetheart."
"Mother-in-Law, you don't want your later years to be ruined either, right? Actually, at your age, you could totally retire. Going out to travel and relax would be nice. Children have their own blessings, so don't meddle too much."
"I'm not someone to mess with either. Your Ruyu Studio is still in its early stages, and I'm quite optimistic about its development. How about I just acquire it?"
After just a few sentences from Jiang Muye, Xiang Shan's eyelid twitched.
"You're threatening me now!"
Jiang Muye smiled. "That's right. Since you won't take the soft approach, I'll use the hard one."
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell Ruoli you're threatening me!" Xiang Shan gritted her teeth, furious.
Jiang Muye replied cheerfully, "That would be great. That way she can lend me a hand."
Xiang Shan was speechless.
She was losing it!
So infuriating!!!
"Provoke me, and you won't have an easy time either." Xiang Shan was furious.
"Sure, bring it on. You don't want to be my Mother-in-Law anyway, so why should I go easy on you!" Jiang Muye's attitude was casual.
He wasn't afraid. He had the Chen Clan backing him, he had capital, and he had the System.
Xiang Shan felt like she had just punched a ball of cotton.
She was utterly helpless now. She pinched her temples, completely angered by Jiang Muye.
There was nothing she could do to deal with Jiang Muye.
Jiang Muye had the Chen Clan backing him, her daughter was on Jiang Muye's side, and she really wasn't Jiang Muye's match.
