Chapter 384: Good-looking People Hang Out With Good­looking People

When Jiang Jingchen arrived at the school gate, he saw a crowd near the gate but not his wife.

He called to ask, but the woman said that she was already at the school gate but Ruan Qi’s mother was stopping her from leaving because she was looking for Ruan Qi.

Ruan Qi was still recuperating in bed after her near miscarriage. If she got agitated, it could lead to a miscarriage. Therefore, she could not let Ruan Qi’s mother see her.

Jiang Jingchen thought for a few seconds. It didn’t sound like a problem outsiders should settle, so he called Song Zhou.

He said to Song Zhou, “Contact Ruan Qi’s stepfather and ask him to take his embarrassing wife home!”

Song Zhou felt conflicted. “Young Master, she’s Ruan Qi’s mother after all. Is that appropriate?”

Jiang Jingchen clicked his tongue. He knew Song Zhou’s personality. He thought that since he married Ruan Qi, he should respect Ruan Qi’s mother and give in to her.

If she was a mother-in-law with a good character, she should definitely be respected and provided for well.

But Ruan Qi’s mother was a woman who despised the poor and loved the rich. She didn’t seem to care about respect.

“Do you think that I’ll sabotage you?”

“No. I’ll do it now.”

Jiang Jingchen hung up the phone, got out of the car, and walked into the crowd. He saw Ruan Qi’s mother grabbing Tang Beibei’s arm and forcing Tang Beibei to bring her to Ruan Qi. She even accused Tang Beibei of turning Ruan Qi into a mistress and that she and Fu Jin were not decent people.

The surrounding students were also discussing in hushed voices.

“Eh, that girl looks familiar!”

-Is she Tang Beibei, the good student who won the award at the New Year’s Eve party, whom the provost praised? Is she losing her image of a good student now that the parent of another student is settling scores with her?”

“That Tang Beibei even won a dance championship in a TV show. The school’s official Weibo account even gave her a Like. She can’t be that good since she actually led another student astray, right?”

“I heard that she has a bad reputation. This kind of girl does whatever she wants just because she’s pretty.”

“There are rumors in the TCM faculty that she married a rich second-generation heir for money. She might have won the championship because of her husband too. The little big brother beside her is so handsome She’s hooking up with such a handsome man even when she’s married. She’s definitely not a good person!”

The onlooking students didn’t know the truth at all and spread rumors everywhere.

Jiang Jingchen listened quietly. When he heard what was said about him, he walked up to Tang Beibei expressionlessly and grabbed Ruan Qi’s mother’s wrist.

“Ouch! Who are you?”

Ruan Qi’s mother let go of Tang Beibei’s arm in pain and glared at the man angrily. “How dare you hit me? I’m going to sue you.”

“Sue me, huh? Go ahead! Do it now!”

If this woman weren’t Ruan Qi’s mother, he would have broken her arm instead of grabbing her wrist for holding his wife like that!

Jiang Jingchen continued, “I’m Tang Beibei’s husband!”

“Wow, this man is so handsome!”

-Oh my God, he’s actually Tang Beibei’s husband? Whoever said that the man Tang Beibei married is ugly must be blind!”

”F*ck! Not only is Tang Beibei so good-looking, but she also found such a handsome husband. Is it because good-looking people hang out with good-looking people? I also sort of hang out with Tang Beibei!”

“Tsk, tsk, he’s so handsome and has such a good body. He dresses so nobly. He’s indeed tall, rich, and handsome! If it were me, I would also marry him. I’d be an idiot not to marry a man like that!”

“This old lady said that Tang Beibei led her daughter astray. Who knows if her daughter was trying to climb the social ladder by being friends with Tang Beibei so she could find herself a rich second generation heir too?”

The atmosphere changed when Jiang Jingchen appeared. The crowd started singing praises of him.

Anyone could insist on their reason but not everyone had such good looks and good body.

The onlookers were just onlookers. They didn’t care who was right or wrong. Ruan Qi’s mother was trying to use public opinion to pressure Tang Beibei into bringing her to see Ruan Qi.

She did not expect the crowd to criticize her instead of Tang Beibei when this man appeared.

“So what if you’re Tang Beibei’s husband? I can’t get hold of my daughter. Tang Beibei is always with my daughter, so she must know where my daughter is.” Jiang Jingchen chuckled nonchalantly. “So what if my wife knows where your daughter is? You’re not my wife’s mother. Why should she listen to you?” Whether my wife helps you or not depends on her mood!”

“You, you’re being unreasonable. I can’t find my daughter. If she doesn’t tell me when she knows, she’s immoral!”

“She brought my daughter to dance and fool around. She must have taught Ruan Qi to be a mistress!”

Tang Beibei was so angry that she wanted to scold her for slandering Ruan Qi like that. But before she could say anything, she heard Jiang Jingchen say, “My wife and I are happily married. Why would she teach your daughter to be a mistress? You are Ruan Qi’s mother. I think you’ve forgotten that you cheated on your husband with another man. In the end, the two of you got divorced and you married your current husband when you were already three months pregnant.”

“Eh, Ms. Ruan Xue, although these things happened a long time ago, other people remember even if you don’t!”

Ruan Qi was Tang Beibei’s best friend, so Jiang Jingchen naturally knew a little about her family background.

Later when Song Zhou wanted to be with Ruan Qi, he investigated her background even more thoroughly.

Ruan Qi used to live in Ruan Family Village. Everyone in the village had the surname Ruan, but the villagers developed quite differently.

Some villagers went into the city to do business and settled down there after they made money, while others remained in the village, working as farmers. Ruan Qi’s mother, Ruan Xue, despised her former husband’s incompetence and had an affair with Ruan Hao. Ruan Qi’s biological father, Ruan Quan, was an honest man and didn’t suspect his wife at all.

It was her mother-in-law who discovered the dirty things her daughter-in-law had done and exposed the affair. Ruan Xue was desperate and asked for a divorce.

Ruan Hao’s family was richer, so Ruan Xue took Ruan Qi with her when she remarried. However, after Ruan Xue gave birth to her son, she did not really care about her daughter. Otherwise, Ruan Qi wouldn’t be upset every time she went home last year.

Ruan Xue was embarrassed when she heard Jiang Jingchen mention her past.

She wanted to tell him to shut up when she heard her phone ring.

When she saw that it was a call from her husband, she walked away and answered the call. Before she could say anything, she was scolded. She listened with her head lowered, looking very humble.

Ruan Xue married Ruan Hao and became a housewife. She had no income at all, so Ruan Hao had absolute authority in the family.

She was only tough in front of Ruan Qi.

After hanging up, Ruan Xue glared at Tang Beibei and turned to leave.

Tang Beibei watched her drive away and said to Jiang Jingchen with a frown, “Hubby, don’t let Qiqi come into contact with her mother. Otherwise, she’ll be very angry.”

Jiang Jingchen patted her shoulder. “Did she hurt you?”

Tang Beibei turned her arm. “No.”

The weather was not warm yet. She was wearing two layers of outerwear but the red marks on her wrist couldn’t be covered.

Jiang Jingchen frowned. “Whether Ruan Qi will come into contact with her mother is Song Zhou’s business.”

But if this woman ever found trouble with Tang Beibei again, Jiang Jingchen would never let her off!
