The once gentle and obedient young wife had turned into someone like a shrew.
She hurled every ugly insult she could think of.
Reactionary element, stinking intellectual, shameless rogue, utterly shameless…
Just recalling the things she had said back then made Jiang Mian’s heart pound.
Good heavens, how had she dared to say all that?
In any case, things had completely fallen apart at the time.
They had been prepared to never have anything to do with each other again.
Who would have thought that today, they could sit together peacefully and have a meal?
The fact that he hadn’t strangled her was probably all thanks to the law.
“Ahem, I already told you the reason back then. Do you really need me to say it again?”
“If you don’t give a reason, you’re paying for this meal yourself.”
“!!!!!”
What the—?!
If she had known, she should’ve studied more, so she wouldn’t get tricked by intellectuals like him!
“Bang!”
Jiang Mian slammed the table and stood up, finally losing her temper for once.
“Fine! I’ll pay!”
Lu Heng shot her a cold glance.
“Did you bring enough money?”
Jiang Mian: …Apparently not?
After eating so much just now, it must cost around twenty or thirty yuan.
Who carries that much money when going out?
Realizing she probably couldn’t afford the meal, Jiang Mian sat back down exactly as quickly as she had stood up.
If she could, she would rather spit everything back out!
Lu Heng looked at her large belly rising as she sat down, and his cold expression softened slightly.
“You were already pregnant and still divorced me. Just how dissatisfied were you with me?”
Jiang Mian had no choice but to explain:
“I didn’t know I was pregnant when we divorced.”
“Then why didn’t you tell me afterward? Why did you deliberately transfer to another farm?”
So Lu Heng knew about her transfer.
“Since we were already divorced, what was the point of telling you?”
“I still can’t understand why you insisted on divorcing me.” Lu Heng’s expression showed pain.
Jiang Mian felt they couldn’t continue this conversation—sooner or later it would end badly.
“Professor Lu, what’s done is done. Let the past stay in the past. You promised to return the certificate to me—please give it back.”
Lu Heng: “I forgot to bring it.”
“…………”
Jiang Mian forcefully held back the urge to flip the table.
Flipping it would mean paying for it.
Can’t flip it, can’t flip it!
Absolutely can’t flip it!
But Jiang Mian was furious!
As expected, these intellectuals were full of tricks!
“I don’t believe you—take it out! You must have it on you!”
Lu Heng stood up:
“If you don’t believe me, search me.”
“Don’t think I wouldn’t dare!”
Jiang Mian didn’t care anymore. Anyway, there was no one else in the private room.
Supporting her belly, she stood up and walked over, searching Lu Heng pocket by pocket.
The chest pocket, the side pockets, and then… his trouser pocket.
When she reached into his trouser pocket and grabbed—
She immediately realized something.
Damn it!
Even searching him caused a reaction.
Still as shameless as ever!
What made it worse—
He really didn’t have the certificate.
Only then did Jiang Mian realize she had been tricked.
Furious, she stepped back, her voice bursting out like a cannon:
“Why won’t you give it back to me?!”
The moment she spoke, her tears uncontrollably streamed down.
Thinking about how he had deliberately made things difficult for her, causing her to lose the 100-yuan reward—and that she might even be scolded by the farm director when she returned—Jiang Mian sobbed.
Her whole body trembled as she cried.
She even had the urge to stab that bastard of a man.
Lu Heng was completely stunned by her tears.
In his memory, she wasn’t someone who cried.
She had always been a girl who endured everything.
This was…
Lu Heng stood there, flustered:
“I… I’m sorry, I—”
He stepped forward, trying to comfort her.
But Jiang Mian pushed him away:
“Pay me back!” Jiang Mian shouted. “The farm director promised me that if I brought back the certificate, I’d get a 200-yuan reward. You pay me 200!”
