Chen Jie looked at Wang Xiaoyan and explained, "Xiaoyan, don't misunderstand. Lin Mengjiao and I are just master and disciple. We've been cultivating since yesterday."
"Cultivating? I think you've been dual-cultivating!" Jiang Xue sneered.
Uh!
Chen Jie's face was a little embarrassed.
If he had been less resolute yesterday, something might have actually happened.
"You seductive woman, have you no shame at all? Don't you know Chen Jie has a girlfriend? Or did Chen Jie not tell you he has a girlfriend at all?" Jiang Xue looked directly at Lin Mengjiao and said.
Chen Jie frowned. "Shut up, don't spout nonsense. Mengjiao is an unfortunate soul. She's Zhang De's granddaughter, and just yesterday, Zhang De died right in front of Mengjiao."
"What? Dr. Zhang is dead?" Wang Xiaoyan exclaimed.
A trace of anger flashed through Jiang Xue's heart. "It's normal for such a slut to lose her parents, let alone her grandfather? I advise you to stay away from this kind of slut, lest you be cursed to death by her!"
Slap!
Chen Jie slapped her fair cheek.
He roared, "Jiang Xue, you've gone too far!"
"Country bumpkin, you dare to hit me?" Jiang Xue covered her face, her good mood for the day completely gone.
"It's one thing if you don't like me, but if you keep spouting nonsense, then get out," Chen Jie frowned.
"You..."
Jiang Xue's eyes turned red. "You worthless trash, do you think I want to come here? Even if you beg me, I won't come again! I'm leaving now!"
Jiang Xue turned to leave, but Wang Xiaoyan grabbed her.
"Don't go!"
Wang Xiaoyan held onto Jiang Xue's hand and looked at Chen Jie, her pretty face stern. "Chen Jie, you apologize to her!"
Chen Jie said coldly, "Why should I apologize to her? I think it would be more appropriate for her to apologize to Mengjiao."
"Xiaoyan, did you hear what he said?" Jiang Xue asked incredulously.
She was hit, and now she was being asked to apologize. What kind of logic was that?
Wang Xiaoyan's eyes flashed as she looked at Chen Jie. She liked this kind of overbearing man.
But she couldn't show it too obviously at this moment. She just looked at Chen Jie with pleading eyes and said, "Jiang Xue is just a girl, and her intentions aren't bad. Chen Jie, you're a man, how can you stoop to her level? You're making things difficult for me."
Chen Jie nodded.
He might not give face to others, but he couldn't refuse Wang Xiaoyan.
However, he didn't do as Wang Xiaoyan suggested.
Instead, he looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Since Xiaoyan has said so..."
Jiang Xue was waiting for Chen Jie to apologize. Chen Jie's tone shifted, and he suddenly said, "You don't need to apologize, but you need to temper your temper. Otherwise, I'll move in with you and discipline you on behalf of your father."
"You bastard! You dare! If you dare come to my house, I'll move out!" Jiang Xue said angrily.
Her father completely favored Chen Jie. If Chen Jie really acted like a parent and lectured her often, she would have nowhere to complain.
"Wherever you move, I'll follow. Let's see what Uncle Jiang says!" Chen Jie said coldly.
"Heh, I'm scared of you! I'm just a girl, living in a single room. Are you going to sleep with me? Xiaoyan, do you agree?" Jiang Xue crossed her arms, looking nonchalant.
Chen Jie stated with certainty, "That's right. If you really live in a single room, I dare to do that. If Xiaoyan has an opinion, then she can just hold it in!"
"What? Xiaoyan..." Jiang Xue looked at Wang Xiaoyan in disbelief.
Wang Xiaoyan's pretty face blushed, and her gaze towards Chen Jie became more intriguing. Chen Jie's overbearing attitude made her heart race.
She assumed Chen Jie was just trying to trick Jiang Xue, so she hummed and nodded.
"What exactly do you want?" Jiang Xue's tone was a little resigned.
Chen Jie said indifferently, "Don't act tough in front of me. Be polite to Mengjiao, or I'll do what I say!"
"You scoundrel! You're truly a terrible person!" Jiang Xue stomped her feet in anger.
"Alright, you two really are a pair of enemies. We came here to visit Chen Jie, not to argue. Both of you, say less."
Wang Xiaoyan said with a smile.
"Chen Jie, aren't you going to invite us in for a chat?" Wang Xiaoyan asked with a smile.
"I almost forgot. Hurry inside, both of you." Chen Jie said awkwardly.
"I'm not going in. I'll stay outside! Entering this country bumpkin's abode, I feel like I'll be contaminated."
Jiang Xue said stubbornly.
Chen Jie's face turned serious. "Go inside, or I'll hit you!"
"You!"
Jiang Xue hesitated for a moment, but still followed them in.
Last time, they had come in a hurry and didn't stay long at Chen Jie's place. This time, Wang Xiaoyan deliberately walked around the villa.
As they passed Chen Jie's bedroom, Wang Xiaoyan exclaimed, "Chen Jie, you're quite clean."
The bedroom was neat and tidy, with the bed made perfectly.
Chen Jie must have just woken up not long ago, and such a tidy bedroom was enough to show a person's habits.
"Uh, I've always been quite clean." Chen Jie replied awkwardly.
Actually, it was Lin Mengjiao who tidied up. Lin Mengjiao had cleaned the entire villa after waking up that morning, even washing his underwear.
"I think it was his sexy disciple who tidied it up!" Jiang Xue taunted.
Wang Xiaoyan smiled and didn't take it to heart. She then asked Chen Jie, "I saw a car parked outside your door. Did you just buy it?"
Jiang Xue glanced at Lin Mengjiao, then quickly interjected, "Bought it on loan, just to pick up girls."
This time, Lin Mengjiao proactively explained, "Don't misunderstand. I had that car before I knew Master!"
"Are you saying that you saw Chen Jie had a sports car, and that's why you're living here?" Jiang Xue said coldly.
Lin Mengjiao didn't have a good impression of her, but she still explained, "Money is just an external possession to me. I became Chen Jie's disciple because Master is very powerful."
"Is that so? In what way is he powerful? Have you experienced it?" Jiang Xue sneered.
Chen Jie frowned. "Jiang Xue, remember your identity. You are not my girlfriend, and what I do has nothing to do with you!"
"Heh, you admit it? Tell me, why did you take her as a disciple?" Jiang Xue asked triumphantly, as if she had exposed Chen Jie's true colors.
"Why can't I take a disciple?" Chen Jie retorted.
Jiang Xue was taken aback.
Indeed, even if Chen Jie was crippled, his experience was still there, so taking a disciple was understandable.
Jiang Xue really couldn't find any reason to refute.
"Chen Jie, you said Zhang De is dead? What happened?" Wang Xiaoyan interrupted the two and asked.
So, Chen Jie told them about the encounter between Zhang De and Lin Mengjiao.
After learning about Lin Mengjiao's background, Wang Xiaoyan and Jiang Xue felt a sense of sympathy for her.
They were no longer as resistant to Lin Mengjiao.
Wang Xiaoyan didn't know how to evaluate Lin Mengjiao.
Chen Jie also explained the origin of the sports car to the two of them.
Just as he finished speaking, Chen Jie's phone rang.
A few minutes later, Chen Jie hung up the phone and said to Wang Xiaoyan, "Speak of the devil, I have to go treat Tang Hai and collect the remaining payment. You two can stay here for now."
