Song Liangjiang couldn’t help but squeeze her purse. She had no money. She was poor.

What kind of expensive shirt was that? Can’t he wear a sack?

Song Liangjiang felt that a man like Chu Jingmo should quickly lose the bet and be chased out of the company. He was too wasteful.

She was wondering if she should send a message to ask Li Chuan about the shirt when an unknown number appeared on her screen. Song Liangjiang frowned and looked at the unknown number. “Hello…”

“Come here now.”

Chu Jingmo suppressed his anger and hung up after saying this.

Even through the phone, Song Liangjiang could sense his fury. Who could make Chu Jingmo so angry?

Bear the consequences of not coming!

Song Liangjiang clicked her tongue. How dare he threaten her?

Chu Jingmo had just entered the house when he was blocked by more than ten women. They were all invited by his mother, probably because she couldn’t accept the fact that he didn’t like women.

These women were either from prestigious families or famous female celebrities in the entertainment industry. The only common thing about them was that they were all beautiful.

Chu Jingmo was extremely annoyed. He didn’t know what his mother had said to these women, but they pounced on him shamelessly. Chu Jingmo couldn’t use his hand against women, but he probably could not hold it in for long.

This was the sight that Song Liangjiang saw when she came in. Chu Jingmo was sitting on the sofa with a cold expression, and a dozen women were either sitting or standing around him, chattering.

Song Liangjiang noticed that the veins on the back of Chu Jingmo’s hand were bulging. She couldn’t help but purse her lips. He almost strangled her to death back then. Why was he so cowardly now?

Why? Was it not illegal to kill his wife?

“Song Liangjiang.” When Chu Jingmo saw her, he immediately got up and went towards her. His footsteps were a little hurried. He grabbed her and even pushed her forward a little.

Song Liangjiang was speechless.

That’s ridiculous!

“Who are you?” The woman at the front glared at Song Liangjiang.

Madam Chu had told them that even if they couldn’t marry Chu Jingmo, as long as they give birth to a child, she would give them two billion yuan. How could such an attractive offer be snatched away by others?

“My wife,” Chu Jingmo said in a low voice. “All of you can scram.”

Song Liangjiang cursed in her heart. She forced a smile, and her shoulders hurt from Chu Jingmo’s grip, but she still had to face the group of ferocious females in front of her. “I don’t have any objections to him having a mistress, but isn’t it too much to come knocking on his door? Sisters, why don’t you wait until he is out of the house?”

“Who is your sister? Do you know how old I am? I’m only eighteen!” a well-dressed girl shouted angrily.

“Then why are you here instead of studying?” Song Liangjiang retorted. “Are you waiting for me to call the police?”

The dozen women looked at each other, before they flung their hands angrily and stormed away.

“Why is a woman in a marriage of convenience so arrogant? Chu Jingmo is more willing to sleep with a man rather than you.”

The woman’s voice was not loud, but Chu Jingmo heard her clearly. His expression instantly darkened.

Song Liangjiang saw Chu Jingmo’s clenched fists from the corner of her eye and instinctively retreated towards the door. She had seen Chu Jingmo lose his temper before. It was really terrifying.

The dozen women filed out, followed by Song Liangjiang.

“Stop.” Chu Jingmo slowly let go of his clenched hands, and his expression softened.

Song Liangjiang cursed under her breath. She stopped at the door and carefully hid herself. She stuck her head out and stole a glance at him. If there was anything wrong, she would immediately close the door and flee for her life.

“Come here.” Chu Jingmo looked at the girl at the door and knew what she was thinking.

Song Liangjiang said, “If you have something to say, say it. I’m not deaf. I’ve helped you chase the women away. What else do you want?”

Asking her to enter would never happen. She wasn’t stupid!

Chu Jingmo strode towards the door. She slammed the door shut and it slammed in his face.

Chu Jingmo closed his eyes and felt the wind. “Song Liangjiang!”

After Song Liangjiang closed the door, she was about to flee when she was pulled in by Chu Jingmo. The door opened and closed in an instant, as if it had been opened, but at the same time, it seemed as though the door had not been moved.

She was pressed against the door by Chu Jingmo. She couldn’t escape even if she wanted to.

“You want to run away after causing trouble?”

Song Liangjiang missed the days when he went under the radar. Otherwise, she also missed the days when he had ignored her.

“What trouble did I cause? Indeed, some women emphasize on looks while others love money, right?” Song Liangjiang couldn’t help but retort in a low voice. “There’s nothing I can do if someone doesn’t mind.”

“What about you? Do you like money or looks?” As Chu Jingmo spoke, he quickly saw disdain on Song Liangjiang’s face.

That’s right, disdain!

“I love my life.” Song Liangjiang didn’t hide her disdain for Chu Jingmo at all. This way, the big boss should understand that she really didn’t have any inappropriate thoughts about him.

“You’re the one who caused the trouble. You’re responsible for resolving it.” Chu Jingmo locked the door as he relinquished his grip.

Song Liangjiang waved her fists at Chu Jingmo’s back. When he turned around, she instantly retracted her fists and smiled at him.

“You’ll be staying here for a while, until the rumors that I like men pass completely.”

“This isn’t in our contract!” Song Liangjiang was furious. “And even if Lin Xi told everyone, your mother wouldn’t believe her, right?”

“No matter what my mother believes, now that it has already happened, you want to go back on your word?” Chu Jingmo didn’t feel that he had misled his mother at all.

“I’m going back on my word?” Song Liangjiang rolled up her sleeves. “You were the one who agreed to the marriage, right? I didn’t force you.”

“You didn’t force me, but my grandmother threatened me with her life.”

Song Liangjiang was rendered speechless.

“All right, so we were both forced to get married. Isn’t it a happy ending if we part amicably?” Song Liangjiang replied excitedly, not realizing that she was so close to Chu Jingmo.

Chu Jingmo could clearly see her face when he lowered his eyes. He could even see her long eyelashes which resembled small fans. Unconsciously, he reached out and pinched and tugged at her cheeks. Her skin was soft enough, but her face didn’t seem to be as round as before.

Song Liangjiang was speechless.

What was he doing?

Chu Jingmo let go of Song Liangjiang before she could bite him. He couldn’t help but stroke his fingertips. This woman’s skin was really good.

“Why can’t you live here, or are you—”

Before Chu Jingmo could finish speaking, Song Liangjiang’s phone rang. She glanced at Chu Jingmo before she took out his phone. However, when she saw the screen, she panicked for a moment but still pretended to be calm.

He saw the name on it. Big and small darlings.

Chu Jingmo was speechless…

Was he being cuckolded?
