Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 855: V695: Love Is Crossing Mountains and Rivers, Love Is a Lifelong Obsession [42]_2
...
Then, they dealt with Aunt Chen.
It was even easier to handle Chen Jiu’s wife.
She was already a nagging woman driven by jealousy, and after what happened yesterday, she went home and was found out by Chen Jiu, who then beat her up.
The beating was partly because Chen Jiu was a pretty upright person and lived near Qiu Mingyan’s family, so he often helped them with work. The two families, apart from the wives, got along quite well.
The other part was because Chen Jiu thought Feng Chengyue was good-looking. What’s wrong with liking to look at pretty girls? In this mountain village, there’s nothing much to see. Don’t people like looking at beautiful things? He didn’t do anything; why did just glancing at Feng Chengyue a few more times make his wife cause trouble for her yesterday? She even accused her of being a seductress, trying to lure him away.
In the city, it’s not common to hit women, but in the countryside, it’s quite normal, even more so in mountain villages!
So he gave her a brutal beating all night, asserting his authority.
Now today, Chen Jiu’s wife, with a swollen and bruised face, sat across from Feng Chengjin, crying so hard that even her mother wouldn’t recognize her.
Chen Jiu was very embarrassed. The honest and simple mountain folk had never seen much of the world.
Seeing such a wealthy boss sitting across from him for the first time, and his wife having made a mistake, he awkwardly rubbed his hands together and said, "I brought my wife here today not to ask Boss Feng for anything in the future. I have no such intention or the face to do so. I simply feel that it was wrong of my wife to treat your sister like that when I wasn’t at home yesterday; I was up the mountain farming. It’s my failure in managing her properly. These walnuts are from the best tree behind our house, very fresh, just right for eating now. I’ve also peeled the outer skin. Boss Feng, you can ask your staff to wash them and crack them open. Other than that..." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
He seemed genuinely embarrassed, as Chen Jiu said, "I don’t even ask Boss Feng to forgive the mistakes of my ignorant wife. All I ask is for Boss Feng to give her a chance to apologize to Miss Feng face to face."
After saying this, he glanced at Feng Chengjin a few times and felt that Feng Chengjin didn’t seem to have any intention of refusing.
Then with a "smack!" he hit his wife’s arm again and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Don’t you know why I brought you here?"
Chen Jiu’s wife cried out in pain again, covering her eyes, and went into the inner room.
Inside the room, Feng Chengyue had just woken up not long ago.
Qiu Mingyan wasn’t there, and Gui Lanzhi had brought a basin of water in to help her wash her body, which was already embarrassing enough for her future mother-in-law to see the marks all over her.
Gui Lanzhi, however, had no big reaction, just seeing that after all this time, Feng Chengyue seemed finally to be with her son. Thinking of her poor son finally experiencing a woman’s touch made her heart tremble.
Seeing Feng Chengyue get up, the bright red stain on the sheet made Gui Lanzhi’s eyes flicker, and she quietly took the sheet off and quickly carried it out for washing.
Throughout the whole process, when Gui Lanzhi looked at Feng Chengyue, there was no longer that feeling of seeing a noble lady who didn’t belong to their family.
This act left Feng Chengyue too embarrassed to come out and face anyone for over an hour.
In the big city, where do you find a mother-in-law who serves her daughter-in-law like this, even washing the sheets without complaint?
But Gui Lanzhi not only did it but also said, "You’re tired, take a good rest today." And then carried her panties she took off last night to wash them clean.
Feng Chengyue didn’t know where to put her face from the embarrassment.
That’s exactly when Chen Jiu’s wife walked in.
So, all of a sudden, when the room started to be filled with conversation between the two people,
It almost entirely became—
Chen Jiu’s wife: "Miss Feng, I’m really sorry for yesterday, I didn’t mean to..."
Feng Chengyue: "I know, I don’t blame you for anything."
Chen Jiu’s wife: "You’re kind-hearted not to blame me, but I really was manipulated by Aunt Chen yesterday, that’s why I got angry..."
Feng Chengyue: "I know, I really don’t blame you for anything."
Chen Jiu’s wife: "Also, it’s because things haven’t been good between me and my husband lately that I targeted my anger at you; I regretted it as soon as I went home yesterday and even more so today. You wouldn’t understand, once you have a man, no matter what he is like, you always see him as the best in your eyes, afraid that others will take him away..."
