Granny Wang's face turned deathly pale and she instantly fell silent.
Chen Erzhu ignored her and turned to leave.
As he walked past Bai Yujie, who was equally stunned, he smiled and said, "Let's go. Why are you standing there? That old man only bullies the weak!"
Hearing this, Bai Yujie's eyes reddened again. She looked at Chen Erzhu with a complex expression, then turned to glance at Granny Wang before following Chen Erzhu.
Seeing Bai Yujie really leave, Granny Wang suddenly burst into tears, sitting on the ground and pounding her fists in frustration.
The surrounding villagers could only step forward to comfort her, while many others whispered in surprise.

"How did Erzhu suddenly become a different person?"
"Yeah, when did this guy turn into such a tough character?"
"Something's not right, this kid is really acting strange!"
...
Chen Erzhu and Bai Yujie reached the village entrance, but Bai Yujie's expression was still troubled.
Chen Erzhu smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, your mother-in-law is just bluffing!"
Bai Yujie nodded slightly without speaking, but her brows were still furrowed with worry.
Just then, a white Volkswagen slowly drove out from the village.
Bai Yujie's eyes lit up immediately, "It's the Village Chief's daughter's car. That girl has a good heart, unlike her scoundrel father. If I ask, she'll definitely give us a ride!"
Saying this, she waved her hand.
Sure enough, the white car stopped beside them, and the window rolled down slowly. The driver was a stunning young woman in her twenties, dressed in a very trendy and fashionable manner.
It was Xu Hui, the Village Chief's daughter. She worked in town and always dressed like a city girl. With her good looks, she resembled a movie star, especially with those long, slender legs accentuated by her shorts, drawing all eyes.
But Chen Erzhu only glanced at her and paid no further attention.
On the other hand, Bai Yujie was very enthusiastic, smiling as she said, "Little Hui, where are you headed? We're going to town. Could you give us a lift?"
Though Xu Hui was beautiful, she was always quite proud. There were few people in the village she thought highly of.
She glanced at Bai Yujie and Chen Erzhu, then said coldly, "Get in!"
Bai Yujie immediately beamed with gratitude, "Great, thank you, Little Hui, sorry for the trouble!"
"Hurry up, I'm in a rush!" Xu Hui said impatiently.
Bai Yujie didn't mind, nodding quickly, but just then, Chen Erzhu said coldly, "I'm not getting in!"
Hearing this, Xu Hui was instantly furious, glaring at Chen Erzhu with disdain and snapping, "You ungrateful fool, don't know a good thing when you see it, hmph!"
Chen Erzhu's face darkened instantly, staring at her coldly, "Say that again if you dare!"
Xu Hui snorted dismissively, "I can't be bothered with the likes of you. Don't get in if you don't want to. I wouldn't want you dirtying my seats anyway!"
With that, she stepped on the gas, and the car roared off.
Bai Yujie was so angry she started cursing, "So what if you have a lousy car? Just like Xu Dayou, a chip off the old block!"
Chen Erzhu watched the car drive away, seething with anger.
What are you showing off for? That car was funded by me! If your father hadn't embezzled so much money, could you even afford a car?
Thinking of this, he got even angrier.
Damn Xu Dayou, just wait and see how I deal with you!
Suddenly, an idea struck him.
Xu Hui, that girl, she's quite a catch, great figure too. If I could get her and have some fun, wouldn't that just drive Xu Dayou mad?
With this thought, he couldn't help but smile.
He immediately made up his mind. He had to do it. Xu Hui, you don't see me as a person now? Just wait, one day I'll make you kneel and call me dad. This chapter was taken from NovelPing without permission.
Beside him, Bai Yujie suddenly asked, "Erzhu, why are you smiling?"
"Oh, nothing, just thought of something funny!" Chen Erzhu replied immediately.
Bai Yujie sighed, "People are driving cars now, it's really frustrating comparing oneself to others. My whole life, I'm just destined to suffer, never to enjoy any blessings!"
Chen Erzhu suddenly grinned mischievously, "Not necessarily. If you become my wife and take care of me, forget cars, I could even buy you a private jet!"
Bai Yujie's face flushed red, and she glared at him, "Stop bragging, you can't even afford a plane wheel!"
"Ah, how can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan!" Chen Erzhu sighed.
Bai Yujie retorted, "Don't try to sound smart with me, I've been to school too. What's the matter, are you a swan? Why don't you fly?"
Chen Erzhu was speechless. It was the first time he realized this charming widow was quite the sharp-tongued one.
Just then, the town bus arrived, and Bai Yujie was overjoyed, waving eagerly.
They got on the bus, which wasn't crowded, and after paying, they sat in the back.
Bai Yujie seemed very excited. Since getting married, she had hardly left the village due to her strict mother-in-law.
"Erzhu, do you think I can find a job?"
Chen Erzhu teased, "Of course, with your outstanding looks, finding a job or even a man would be a piece of cake!"
Bai Yujie's face reddened slightly, and she gave him a flirtatious look, "You cheeky brat, can't you speak properly?"
Chen Erzhu laughed, "I'm just telling the truth. When we got on the bus, every man was staring at you. Those looks were quite direct. I bet you felt it! Luckily, you have a handsome guy like me beside you, or those guys would've been all over you!"
Bai Yujie did feel it. At home, she rarely went out, and now, suddenly being stared at by so many men made her very uncomfortable.
But hearing Chen Erzhu's narcissism, she couldn't help but retort, "Yeah right, you're full of it, Erzhu, you've really changed!"
Chen Erzhu chuckled, "They say women love bad boys, right? I've figured it out, being an honest man gets you nowhere. From now on, I'm going to be a scoundrel!"
