When the two got married, Leng Yunting gave a dowry of 1,000 yuan, and Old Liu gave a full 2,000 yuan, plus money from the original owner's maternal grandparents.
Moreover, after the marriage, Leng Yunting gave her all his salary from over the years; even though she had spent a lot, there was still a considerable amount left.
Looking at the 10,000 yuan in her savings account and the 268.8 yuan in her hand, Liu Jingyi was in an incredibly good mood!
Liu Jingyi tidied herself up, and when she arrived in town, it was just lunchtime.
Now that Liu Jingyi had a large sum of money, she certainly wouldn't skimp on herself. Even if she couldn't finish, she could pack it up and take it home for Leng Yunting to eat when he returned that evening.
She ordered braised pork belly and, unexpectedly, also saw braised prawns. As someone who loved seafood, she couldn't resist, and she also ordered two liang (approximately 100 grams) of rice.
The portions were huge! This was Liu Jingyi's first time eating at a state-run restaurant after transmigrating here, and the chef's cooking was excellent; she even finished the braised prawns.
Of course, she didn't finish the braised pork belly, after all, her stomach was only so big.
Liu Jingyi felt that her life couldn't be more blissful. No children, just her and Leng Yunting.
Whenever Leng Yunting had time, when he wasn't on a mission, he would come back and cook for her. When she was alone, she could do whatever she wanted. He
could cook when he felt like it, and not cook when he didn't. Besides, Leng Yunting was rich, powerful, and handsome.
As long as she clung to him and served him well, she could live the life of a freeloader!
After dinner, Liu Jingyi didn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative; she went straight back to the Liu family home. No one was home at the time.
She didn't want those people to ruin her good mood; this was perfect timing.
Leng Yunting, on the other hand, had gone to the army and received orders to lead a mission the next day.
Before leaving, he was very worried.
Leng Yunting smoked a cigarette, and through the thin smoke, his expressionless face appeared even more cold and intimidating.
Seeing the man enter, he stubbed out his cigarette and ordered, "I'm going out for the next few days. Keep an eye on Liu Jingyi for me."
His subordinates were puzzled but didn't ask; they couldn't speculate about their superior's affairs.
"Yes, sir!"
Fu Jiexuan, standing to the side, was also stunned for a long time upon hearing this, but only frowned and didn't ask.
Only when the two of them were left did Fu Jiexuan speak, "What's wrong? She was so obedient before. Do you want me to do something again?"
"No, you're overthinking it." Leng Yunting glanced at him indifferently.
"Hey, what kind of look is that? You clearly know why she climbed into your bed. It's for that Meng Yunfan. She wants a divorce; just grant her wish. Just file a report sooner rather than later."
"She's different lately? Completely different from the unreasonable person she was before?"
"Didn't you dislike her? What? You can be so aware of her changes? She was so demanding before? And you still indulged her? Are you sure you don't like her?" Fu Jiexuan said, scrutinizing him.
Based on his observations, Liu Jingyi was a complete brainless rich girl, completely manipulated by her stepmother, an idiot who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, her only redeeming quality being her beauty. As
soon as Fu Jiexuan finished speaking, Leng Yunting lit another cigarette and started smoking.
He almost never smoked before, only smoking one cigarette after another when he was in a bad mood.
Fu Jiexuan, who had grown up with him, how could he not understand him?
He felt that Leng Yunting's current state suggested he was already deeply entangled in something without even realizing it.
Fu Jiexuan looked at the man in front of him and shook his head.
Leng Yunting, however, was lost in his own thoughts. After returning from his mission, he felt that Liu Jingyi had changed. She was completely different
from before. Not only did she no longer distance herself from him, but she also suddenly tried to please him in various clumsy ways, and even slept with him again on the night he returned.
Of course, she wouldn't have succeeded if he hadn't wanted to.
He had to admit that he had initially relaxed his guard because of Liu Jingyi's looks, and later...
Actually, everything else was fine, he was just afraid that she... might suddenly do something stupid again, listen to some people, and do something she shouldn't have.
Before marrying Liu Jingyi, Leng Yunting had already investigated her thoroughly.
In fact, the only ones who were truly good to Liu Jingyi were her maternal grandparents' family; Liu's father and that Chen Biyu were not easy to deal with.
Liu Jingyi's uncle's identity was very sensitive, but Liu Jingyi's maternal grandmother was a very wise old lady who had arranged everything for Liu Jingyi long ago, completely severing ties with the Song family.
How could Leng Yunting not know the Song family's current predicament?
Even if the Song family hadn't severed ties with her, since Liu Jingyi had married him, he certainly wouldn't abandon her.
However, this was conditional: Liu Jingyi genuinely wanted to live a good life with him.
Fu Jiexuan looked at his friend, realizing he was unknowingly becoming increasingly attentive to Liu Jingyi, perhaps without even realizing it himself.
But it's important to know that Leng Yunting was notoriously aloof and unruly in the compound.
Among their group, Leng Yunting not only had excellent academic performance but also a keen political sense.
Under Leng Yunting's pressure, their group had all managed to get into university.
Leng Yunting had his own ideas; instead of attending university, he directly applied to join the army. Fu Jiexuan, always inseparable from him, naturally followed him into the army.
However, less than two years after they joined the army, the situation became tense.
Although Leng Yunting's father and brother were affected, they are still safe and sound in the compound. After all, in this day and age, keeping a low profile is always the best policy.
Thinking about the recent situation and seeing Leng Yunting's deep expression, Fu Jiexuan also dropped his nonchalant attitude. "Brother Ting, are you worried that Liu Jingyi will go to see Meng Yunfan again while you're not around?"
Leng Yunting merely glanced at him expressionlessly, without answering his question.
"Brother Ting, you've already had people watching her, but even if she goes to see Meng Yunfan, you can't stop her, otherwise she'll find out." Fu Jiexuan asked, puzzled. Leng
Yunting looked at Fu Jiexuan as if he were an idiot.
"Brother Ting, you just have a wife, what's with that expression? Did I say something wrong?"
"How come you're still as stupid as you were when you were a kid after all these years?"
Fu Jiexuan rolled his eyes at him, truly a friend who forgets his friends for the sake of beauty.
So what if he has a wife? He's acting like anyone can't find one. He'll definitely find someone prettier and smarter than Liu Jingyi someday.
