Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

Xiao Re raised his eyes slightly, his gaze as cold as ice, and lightly swept over He Yingying.

That contemptuous gaze, like a silent provocation, shifted from He Yingying's face to the man beside her.

She had originally intended to give this woman some face out of respect for Lu Yanzheng.

Since she has no shame, then let it go.

"Honey, I can't eat anymore, come help me!"

Xiao Re used his long, slender fingers to pick up his chopsticks and gently tapped them on the rim of the bowl with the last dumpling.

His playful expression was as if he were summoning a puppy.

A sense of panic flashed through Lu Yanzheng's mind; he felt both guilty and helpless.

This woman actually embarrassed him in public.

They really know how to cause trouble.

I wanted to find an opportunity to talk to He Yingying about marriage alone.

But now, it can no longer be hidden.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he gave Xiao Re a look that was both flustered and somewhat ingratiating, pleading in a low voice.

"Let's go!"

"Stop fooling around!"

Xiao Re slammed her chopsticks on the table, her pretty face immediately turning cold.

"Wasting food is shameful. Are you sure you don't want to eat?"

Her soft, gentle tone sounded sweet and tender, yet it made his heart tighten, leaving him in a dilemma.

Lu Yanzheng froze for a moment, then moved slightly and swallowed the remaining dumpling whole with lightning speed.

He uttered a muffled sentence.

"Alright, alright!"

Xiao Re smiled with satisfaction and pointed to the braised beef next to him.

"I'll eat this too!"

Lu Yanzheng frowned slightly, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes. He subconsciously glanced at He Yingying, whose face had already turned pale, and lowered his voice: "Don't go too far."

Xiao Re raised her eyes, her clear gaze meeting his directly, a faint smile carrying an extremely dangerous playfulness.

"What, we've already slept together, and now you're disgusted with me?"

One sentence left him speechless.

In public, this woman spoke without restraint, saying whatever came to mind.

Terrible.

He was both angry and embarrassed, and in a panic, he shoved the whole plate of beef into his mouth, stuffing his cheeks so full that two strings of sauce were still hanging from the corners of his mouth.

Xiao Re took out a clean white handkerchief from her pocket and affectionately wiped his face. She even glanced at He Yingying out of the corner of her eye.

"Good girl!"

"Why are you eating so fast? Don't choke!"

This tender and affectionate scene stunned everyone dining around them, leaving them wide-eyed, chopsticks frozen, and completely dumbfounded.

No, what's going on?

They got together after paying for just one bowl of dumplings?

If they had known they could have looked more closely and found a wife, they should have looked more intently.

As they watched, everyone seemed to notice something was wrong.

His eyes darted back and forth between Xiao Re, Lu Yanzheng, and He Yingying, his face full of suspicion.

Wait a minute! If this handsome man and beautiful woman are a couple, then what about that woman with freckles all over her face?

Who is the rightful spouse?

He Yingying froze on the spot, her face turning a deep purplish-red, then instantly turning deathly pale. Her nails dug into her palms, leaving several deep red marks. A surge of jealousy and embarrassment welled up inside her, and she trembled with anger.

She couldn't believe that her fiancé, whom she had been waiting for for five years, would cheat on her with another woman right in front of her.

"Brother Zheng...who...is she?"

He Yingying's voice trembled, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Lu Yanzheng, trying to get a negative answer from him.

Lu Yanzheng sighed deeply and offered a helpless explanation.

"She's my wife, Xiao Re!"

"I'm sorry, Yingying, I can't marry you."

He Yingying collapsed instantly, tears streaming down her face, her voice shrill and distorted:

"She's your wife? Then what am I?"

"Lu Yanzheng, we were engaged since childhood, we've been sweethearts, and I've waited for you for five whole years. How could you marry another woman?"

"Tell me, did this vixen seduce you?"

He Yingying completely lost her mind, like a mad tigress. With her arms outstretched, she hysterically lunged at Xiao Re.

Lu Yanzheng's expression changed drastically. Almost instinctively, he pushed He Yingying away and held Xiao Re tightly in his arms.

His eyes were as cold as ice.

"Yingying, calm down. You got yourself into this mess. I'll explain when we get back."

"I don't want to hear it. I can't calm down. Explain to me right now why you married this woman!"

He Yingying was already blinded by jealousy. She didn't care about losing face or Lu Yanzheng's advice; she just wanted to know the answer.

Xiao Re stepped forward calmly, his posture arrogant yet full of confidence. He bypassed Lu Yanzheng and fixed his cold gaze on He Yingying, questioning her word by word.

"He Yingying, do you still remember the Xiao family clinic in Qingkou Town, Shili Slope?"

He Yingying froze, her madness instantly vanishing, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, as if she hadn't expected her to suddenly bring this up.

Before she could react, Xiao Re's voice suddenly turned sharp, each word filled with deep-seated hatred: "That's my family's!"

"Six months ago, because you had freckles on your face, you used a beauty cream of unknown origin, which caused your face to become irritated. But without asking any questions, you set fire to my family's clinic, causing my father to lose three fingers."

"I stole your fiancé as compensation, is that too much to ask?"

He Yingying was struck dumb, her whole body suddenly frozen in place, and the color drained from her face instantly.

Her eyes widened, and her legs went weak. A tremendous fear welled up from the bottom of her heart, making her tremble all over, and she couldn't utter a sound for a long time.

She burned down the clinic.

At the time, she mistakenly thought that the medicine labeled "Xiao's Beauty Cream" was made by Xiao's Medical Clinic, and the old lady selling the medicine also said so.

That's why she went to Xiao's Medical Clinic in a fit of rage after being disfigured by that fake medicine.

But the old man Xiao refused to admit it, and she did something wrong in a fit of anger.

He Yingying trembled even more violently, stammering incoherently as she tried to explain. Her voice, which had been hysterical just moments before, was now filled with panic and helplessness. Tears mingled with her pale face, and she was filled with guilt.

"I'm sorry, I accidentally burned down your clinic, I admit it. But... but I already paid compensation."

"Your father's hand was broken, that's none of my business. At the time..."

"The fire was huge at the time, and he insisted on climbing up to the attic to grab some medicinal herbs. I warned him not to go... but he wouldn't listen."

"That's why I fell down the stairs. It...it really isn't my fault!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Re's aura suddenly turned fierce, and his sharp eyes were fixed on He Yingying, forcing her to retreat and fall heavily to the ground.

"None of your business?"

"If you hadn't let me burn down my family's clinic, would my father have been injured while trying to save the valuable medicinal herbs?"

"After you committed the crime, you refused to admit your mistake and showed no remorse whatsoever. You just threw down 800 yuan and thought that was the end of it."

"You actually have the nerve to say you lost money?"

"That clinic is a family business passed down for three generations. Do you know how much it's worth? Do you know how many precious medicinal herbs it contains?"

"Let me tell you, my father's healing hands are priceless! Even if you chopped off your entire arm, you still couldn't afford to pay for it!"

The surrounding chatter erupted instantly, and the gazes directed at He Yingying shifted from amusement to disdain. No one had expected that this seemingly delicate woman had committed arson and assault.

No wonder this girl wanted to steal her fiancé.

Good job!

Who would want to marry a viper? The worst part is that she's ugly. Looking at her face covered in bumps and blemishes makes me want to eat.
