Quick Transmigration: Hehe, the gluttonous girl is here!

"bless?"

Zhou Yanchuan felt like he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

His chest heaved violently with anger.

He strode forward, raised his right hand high, and was about to slap Zhou Chiye across the face.

Faced with the impending slap, Zhou Chiye didn't even flinch.

He simply turned his body slightly to the side while holding Jiang Li, completely protecting her in his strong arms, making sure she wouldn't be affected in the slightest.

"Yan Chuan! Don't do it!"

Xu Qingyu was startled and quickly ran over to hug Zhou Yanchuan's arm tightly.

"Let's talk this out calmly, don't act impulsively."

"Speak properly? What's there to speak about!"

Zhou Yanchuan pointed at Zhou Chiye's nose and started cursing.

"Are you crazy! She's your sister-in-law!"

You're only nineteen. Do you even know what love is?

That's called teenage impulsiveness!

That's ridiculous!

Zhou Chiye didn't speak, he just looked at him.

There was something in his eyes that made Zhou Yanchuan extremely uncomfortable.

It's not rebellion, it's not a guilty conscience.

It's a kind of indifference that says, "What you say has no weight with me."

Zhou Yanchuan could only turn his anger towards Jiang Li, who was hiding in Zhou Chiye's arms.

His tone was filled with deep disappointment and accusation.

"And you, Jiang Li! You're an adult, you're five years older than Zhou Chiye."

He's young and doesn't know any better, but don't you know any better either?

How could you let him do such an absurd thing!

Do you even know what you're doing?!

Jiang Li, whose name was called, trembled violently.

She gripped Zhou Chiye's clothes so tightly that her knuckles turned pink.

She slowly raised her head, her bright, clear eyes brimming with tears.

Her lively eyes automatically triggered a skill that made her look helpless and pitiful, just like a little white rabbit cornered by a big bad wolf.

[Baby, your acting is amazing! I almost believed it!]

[Who acted in this?! I'm really panicking!]

Panic is the right thing to do; being panicked is perfect for playing the victim. Keep it up!

Seeing Jiang Li's extremely aggrieved expression made Zhou Chiye's heart ache.

His last bit of patience was completely exhausted, and a dangerous storm raged in his dark eyes.

She couldn't stand anyone yelling at her, not even her own brother.

Why did you yell at her?

Zhou Chiye pulled Jiang Li back into his arms, looked coldly at Zhou Yanchuan, and a mocking smile appeared on his thin lips.

"Did you ask her from beginning to end whether she wanted to be your shield?"

A crack appeared in Zhou Yanchuan's expression.

"What shield? What are you talking about?"

"About you and Xu Qingyu."

Zhou Chiye raised his chin, glanced at Xu Qingyu at the door, and spoke in a calm tone as if he were talking about what to have for dinner.

"I've already told my sister."

Zhou Yanchuan's face turned pale instantly.

Xu Qingyu pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and remained silent.

Zhou Yanchuan's Adam's apple bobbed twice, as if he were swallowing something.

He tried to keep his expression steady and took a deep breath.

Even if... even if that's the case.

His voice became slow and soft, uttering each word slowly and deliberately.

"Jiang Li is also my legally recognized wife, so you should call her sister-in-law."

"Legal approval?"

Zhou Chiye rolled those four words on his tongue, as if savoring a joke.

But those dark pupils had completely lost the warmth of youth.

He didn't even bother to glance at Zhou Yanchuan.

The large hand supporting Jiang Li's knees tightened.

Zhou Chiye held her in one arm and strode towards the master bedroom.

Jiang Li was startled by his sudden action.

She instinctively hugged the boy's neck tightly, her cheek pressed against his burning chest.

[Tongzi, where did he go?]

Jiang Li frantically tapped the system in her mind.

The system's electronic voice was also so excited it took a sharp turn:

"Honey, go get the evidence!"

Your little wolfhound is about to wreak havoc, so get your eye drops ready and keep acting!

Zhou Chiye kicked open the door to the master bedroom.

He walked to the bedside table and opened the drawer.

Long, slender fingers pulled out two marriage certificates from between them.

Then he went back to the living room.

Zhou Yanchuan's expression changed completely when he saw the red booklet in Zhou Chiye's hand.

"Ono, what are you going to do with that!"

Zhou Yanchuan raised his voice.

His usual dignified and gentle facade was now ripped open.

Zhou Chiye ignored him.

He bent down and placed Jiang Li on the sofa.

He casually pulled over a thin blanket and wrapped it around the girl's frail body.

Make sure she won't expose herself.

Zhou Chiye then straightened up and turned to look at the two people opposite him.

Zhou Chiye spread the two marriage certificates on the coffee table, opened one of them, and looked up at Zhou Yanchuan.

"elder brother."

His voice was calm, so calm it was almost eerie.

He pointed his index finger at the area on the inner page of the document where there should be an indentation.

"Tell me, where's the official seal?"

The moment those three words were uttered, the entire living room fell into a deathly silence.

Zhou Yanchuan's expression froze.

His lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

Xu Qingyu stood behind him, the color draining from her face in an instant.

He couldn't help but take a small step back.

"Yan Chuan..." Xu Qingyu's voice trembled.

He dared not look at Zhou Chiye, nor at Jiang Li on the sofa.

Zhou Chiye didn't give them any time to catch their breath.

He took out his phone and opened the government service webpage in front of the two of them.

A marriage registration verification system popped up on the screen.

He turned his phone around so that the screen was facing Zhou Yanchuan.

"Registration number not found."

He swiped the screen again.

"Jiang Li, Marital Status: Single."

Draw it again.

"Zhou Yanchuan, Marital Status: Single."

"Dude, you're telling me this is legally recognized?"

Zhou Chiye put his phone back in his pocket, tilted his head, and the beauty mark at the corner of his eye now looked somewhat ironic.

"Brother, all you got were two tattered notebooks without even a steel stamp."

Zhou Chiye's eyes were devoid of warmth as he stared at his elder brother, whom he had respected since childhood.

"You dare to say so confidently that she's your wife?"

"You call this legally recognized?"

The living room was so quiet that you could hear the hum of the air conditioner vents.

Zhou Yanchuan's Adam's apple bobbed up and down twice.

He opened his mouth, only to find that no matter what he said, the first word he couldn't avoid was "fake".

Jiang Li felt it was time for her to make her appearance.

She wrapped herself in a blanket and slowly peeked out from behind Zhou Chiye.

She looked at Zhou Yanchuan, her voice trembling slightly.

"Brother Yanchuan..."

Zhou Yanchuan looked at her reflexively.

"Where exactly was that place you took me that day?"

She bit her lower lip, her eyelashes trembled, and her voice grew softer and softer.

"Was that staff member also hired by you to scam me?"

Why are you doing this to me...?

As she said these words, a tear just slid down her cheek.

Not too much, not too little, just right.

[Honey! A Best Actress! Absolutely a Best Actress!]

[I'm really a little wronged, okay! Even though I knew it all along, putting myself in the original owner's shoes makes me so angry!]

Zhou Yanchuan felt a sharp pain in his heart as he looked at Jiang Li's tear-streaked face.

This pain was mixed with too much guilt and remorse.

He took a step forward and tried to reach out to pull Jiang Li.

"Little Pear, let me explain."

"The situation was complicated at the time. My parents were pressuring me, and I really had no other choice..."

Before his hand could even touch Jiang Li's sleeve, Zhou Chiye slapped it away.
