Chapter 591: What Do You Think?
Chapter 591: What Do You Think?
The next day, Jiang Xia arrived at school ten minutes early. She rode her bicycle to the playground and saw a person in a green military uniform leading her class in exercises.
Stopping her bicycle in front of Zeng Jing, Jiang Xia cheered, "Class President, why haven’t I seen you practicing the hurdles? You need to work harder! Otherwise, how can our class win any awards at the school sports meet? I believe our hardworking Class President will definitely take first place! I’ll come by tomorrow to check on your training and cheer you on!"
Jiang Xia successfully made Zeng Jing tremble with anger and then happily rode away.
Wasn’t she just trying to provoke her? She wasn’t incapable!
She would make her angry every time they met from now on!
Zeng Jing trembled with rage and turned to her third brother, Zeng Haonan, saying, "Third Brother, look how arrogant she is! She’s driving me crazy! Can you help me find a way to teach her a lesson?"
Zeng Haonan had heard the whole story and understood his little sister's personality. She had been spoiled by the family, always making others suffer while being unable to tolerate any injustice or hardship herself.
With such a character, how could she possibly manage after marriage?
She needed to change!
He said calmly, "Why did you provoke her in the first place? If you go after someone, it’s only fair for them to come after you. Isn’t this just being unreasonable?"
Zeng Jing retorted, "Who made her hurt my sister so much? Shouldn’t I stand up for my sister?"
"What do you mean by ‘hurt’? They were just having a normal relationship. Zhao Chenglei didn’t abandon Yuan Yuan after seducing her. It’s Yuan Yuan who can’t move on from her own feelings. Besides, Yuan Yuan hasn’t said anything, so why are you getting upset on her behalf? Stop being unreasonable! I’m telling you, Zhao Chenglei isn’t someone to mess with. He’s very protective of his family. If he finds out you’re bullying his wife, you’ll regret it, and I won’t be able to help you!"
Zeng Jing fumed, "Whose side are you on? If you had helped my sister and Zhao Chenglei get closer before, she wouldn’t be so heartbroken now!"
"……"
"Totally unreasonable! A forced relationship never works. Do you understand? Yuan Yuan isn’t unmarriageable, and she doesn’t need Zhao Chenglei. Your constant provocations won’t change anything. They already have children. Do you really want to destroy their marriage? Instead of doing these things, why don’t you try to convince Yuan Yuan to let go and find someone who loves her? That would be much better for everyone!"
Zeng Haonan had seen his older sister pining for Zhao Chenglei, while Zhao Chenglei showed no interest at all, often avoiding her in social situations.
He had even joked with Zhao Chenglei before, suggesting he meet his sister to see if they might get along, but Zhao Chenglei had firmly refused, saying, "No, it’s not a good fit."
If that man doesn’t even look at you, why are you still pining for him? Women are naturally more emotional, but marrying a man who loves you will definitely bring more happiness than marrying someone you love who doesn’t feel the same way!
Unfortunately, Zeng Yuan didn’t understand and had trapped herself in a dead-end.
And Zeng Jing was also spoiled.
He was genuinely afraid that these two sisters might cause some trouble!
Zeng Haonan had to warn his little sister, "Stop targeting Zhao Chenglei’s wife. The more you do this, the harder it will be for your sister to move on. It’s better to treat her like she doesn’t exist and help Yuan Yuan forget Zhao Chenglei. Find her a man who is even better than Zhao Chenglei, someone who can make her life ten or a hundred times better, and someone who can make her even more outstanding. Wouldn’t that be more satisfying?"
Zeng Jing: "……"
It did make some sense!
Her sister would definitely have a better life than Jiang Xia and Zhao Chenglei!
"Your constant provocations are just making you look petty. It only makes Zhao Chenglei think you’re small-minded and more grateful that he didn’t choose your sister. Look at how excellent Jiang Xia is. She became the leader of the Jing-Sui Exchange Team right at the start of the school year. If I were Zhao Chenglei, I’d be incredibly proud to have such a capable wife and grateful that I chose the right person!"
"No man would like a woman who nitpicks all day, always fussing over trivial matters and picking fights. I find such women the most annoying! Marrying a woman like that is just asking for trouble! There would be chaos at home every day!"
Zeng Jing: "..."
"Are you talking about me?"
"What do you think!"
Zeng Jing: "..."
"No man likes a woman who values a relationship more than her own life, a woman who can't live without a man! Marrying such a woman is also asking for trouble, with no freedom at all! After all, life is not just about the relationship between spouses; it also involves brotherhood, friendship, and family ties. If a woman values a man too much, she expects him to prioritize her in everything, putting her first in everything and always listening to her. How is that possible? Who can do that all the time?"
Zeng Jing: "Are you talking about my sister?"
"What do you think!"
Zeng Jing: "..."
Zeng Haonan: "After all this, do you know what you should do now?"
Zeng Jing: "I get it. You just don't want me to target Jiang Xia!"
Zeng Haonan: "..."
No wonder Zhao Chenglei doesn't like you!

Over the next two days, Jiang Xia shuttled between Jing University and Q University. On the third day, she took the postgraduate entrance exam at Jing University.
The exam lasted the entire day, ending at seven in the evening.
In the morning, she took the business English test, and in the afternoon, she tackled the master's in translation exam.
Since she was the only candidate, her scores were announced on the spot, and she passed with high marks.
However, she wouldn't receive her degree certificate until next week.
With a master's in translation, she could command higher rates for book translations at publishing houses.
It was already dark at seven in the evening when Jiang Xia sped away from the campus on her bicycle.
At the school gate, she saw Zhao Chenglei waiting for her.
Concerned that she hadn't returned home so late, Zhao Chenglei had come to pick her up.
"Why are you here? Are the kids asleep?"
Zhao Chenglei nodded: "Yes, I fed them and put them to sleep before coming out."
Jiang Xia felt relieved: "The teachers had too many questions, so I finished late."
Zhao Chenglei: "That means you must have passed smoothly."
Only if a student answered well would the teachers ask more questions. If they couldn't answer a couple of questions, there would be no point in asking more.
Jiang Xia smiled: "I passed!"
Zhao Chenglei's lips curved into a smile.
When they got home, Jiang Xia found that everyone was still waiting for her to eat dinner.
The table was laden with a variety of dishes.
"Why didn't you start eating? Why are there so many dishes today?"
Grandma chuckled: "Lei made all the dishes."
Jiang Dong said happily: "Brother-in-law said it's to celebrate Sister's successful exam!"
Jiang Xia teased: "I just finished the exam. How do you know I passed?"
Jiang Dong: "You're so capable, how could you not pass?"
"But what if I didn't pass?"
Jiang Dong: "... If you didn't pass, you need to eat well to regain your strength and keep working hard!"
Grandma and the others chimed in: "Yes, yes, yes! If you didn't pass, you need to eat well to replenish your energy! Next time, you'll definitely pass!"
Zhang Fuyan: "I don't believe it. Xiaxia must have passed!"
Jiang Xia laughed: "I passed!"
Everyone couldn't help but cheer!
"Sister, you're so mean! You scared me. You must drink a cup as punishment!"
Grandma laughed: "Alright, let's eat!"
The family enjoyed a lively dinner, and after finishing, they all went to bed early.
It was Friday, and Jiang Xia had no classes on Saturday and Sunday. Zhao Chenglei had to go home early on Saturday morning.
There was an issue at the factory, and after discussing his ideas over the phone, Zhao Chenglei needed to go back and take a look.(End of Chapter)
