She was tricked into marriage for three years, then remarried a childless, tough guy and became preg

Shen Tang raised an eyebrow slightly. Was he there just now?

How come I didn't notice?

"Commander Huo, good afternoon."

Shen Tang walked up to greet her with a smile.

Huo Xiuyuan stopped in his tracks and couldn't help but take another look at her.

This woman is really interesting.

She jumped into the river to commit suicide, then turned around, dressed herself up, and went to participate in the selection for the cultural troupe. Just a moment ago, she was "watching from the sidelines" in the canteen, and now she's standing in front of him with a big smile on her face.

"Shen Tang, are you possessed by a river demon?"

Shen Tang turned around and saw Sun Qian, whose hair was still wet.

She frowned slightly. Why was Sun Qian like a leech, sticking to wherever she went?

It prevented her from interacting with the handsome guy.

"Why does it smell so bad?" Shen Tang covered her nose in disgust.

"You!" Sun Qian was furious. She went back and washed herself several times, but the muddy smell in her hair wouldn't come off no matter how she washed.

She gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Shen Tang, you're definitely not normal. You've completely changed ever since you jumped into the river and were rescued!"

Shen Tang sneered as she approached her: "What's considered normal? Not fighting back when hit, not talking back when insulted? Or being slapped by you every day and not daring to utter a sound? Let me tell you, from now on, if you dare to show off in front of me again, see how I deal with you!"

Sun Qian was so intimidated by Shen Tang's aura that she retreated step by step, almost tripping on the steps behind her.

"You, you just wait, I'm not done with you yet!"

After saying that, Sun Qian turned and ran away.

She was truly terrified of Shen Tang's beatings; the pain in her chest from that kick still lingers!

Huo Xiuyuan's eyes darkened, and he turned to leave.

Shen Tang called out to him, "Commander Huo, I'd like to move into the cultural troupe's training dormitory today, is that alright?"

The thought of sharing a room with Lu Jingshen made Shen Tang feel uncomfortable.

Huo Xiuyuan paused in his steps.

"Wait for further notice."

After he finished speaking, he strode forward.

Huo Xiuyuan's eyes darkened slightly. Did she have nowhere to live?

It seems the beds in the training dormitory need to be installed as soon as possible.

Shen Tang looked at his tall and imposing back and couldn't help but click her tongue.

With that figure and those looks, she'd definitely be a top-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry.

"Shen Tang, why are you still standing here?"

Lu Jingshen walked forward for a while, then turned around and found that Shen Tang hadn't followed. He had no choice but to turn back and look for her.

Lu Jingshen looked at Huo Xiuyuan walking away, gritted his teeth, and whispered:

"You're really a toad trying to eat swan meat. Even if Huo Xiuyuan is childless, he won't even look at you."

Shen Tang didn't even look at him, and turned away.

Lu Jingshen was ignored by her again, which made him so angry that his face turned pale.

He looked at Shen Tang's back and took a deep breath.

I've been too good to her, which has spoiled her and led to these bad habits. I'll definitely give her a good talking-to when we get home.

Shen Tang strode forward, with Lu Jingshen following about two meters behind.

Lu Jingshen stared at the graceful figure ahead, somewhat dazed. Was Shen Tang always this beautiful?

He remembered that she always had her head down and her back hunched, her messy hair covering her small face, and he couldn't even remember what she looked like.

The first time he saw her, she was still young and looked up at him shyly.

Back then, her eyes were bright, but after she married into the family, for some reason, she became like a withered flower bud, always keeping her head down, her eyes devoid of light, and she didn't even dare to say a word.

How come everything has completely changed now?

Lu Jingshen's mind raced for a moment, then he suddenly realized, why was he so concerned about her? Anyway, it wouldn't be long before he divorced her.

"Oh, Shen Tang is back?"

As soon as Shen Tang entered the gate of the family compound, a plump woman greeted him loudly.

"Sister-in-law, picking vegetables? Your vegetables are growing so beautifully."

Shen Tang responded enthusiastically.

As they were talking, several more women came over and spoke to Shen Tang.

Shen Tang knew very well that these women had all come to her because they thought she might be able to join the performing arts troupe after reading her book, "Night at the Military Port."

Before long, Shen Tang was surrounded by people. Some asked her how she got her hair cut, some asked her to teach their daughters to dance, and others were waiting for her to join the performing arts troupe so they could help promote their granddaughters...

Shen Tang was adept at flattery and maneuvering, managing to refuse while making people feel comfortable.

She had been in the entertainment industry for so many years in her previous life, what was this little scene to her?

Lu Jingshen stood outside the crowd, staring at the smiling Shen Tang, and was momentarily stunned.

"Technician Lu, if your Shen Tang joins the performing arts troupe, you'd better keep a close eye on her, haha..."

Lu Jingshen's lips curled slightly, but he couldn't quite manage a smile. He said "modestly,"

"We haven't even gone in yet, have we? Let's talk about it after we get in."

Shen Tang glanced back at him, a disdainful sneer curling her lips.

They really can't stand to see her doing well!

"Exactly, why are you all so eager to curry favor? It would be so embarrassing if you got rejected later!"

Widow Liu curled her lips sourly, glancing upwards with her eyes.

"Widow Liu, what are you being so sour about? You didn't see it, Shen Tang's stage presence is just like a big star."

Before Shen Tang could speak, the fat woman retorted.

Shen Tang didn't even glance at Widow Liu, and waved to his sisters-in-law, saying:

"Sisters, it's getting late, let's chat again tomorrow. I'm heading back now."

The sisters-in-law responded with "Okay" and watched Shen Tang go upstairs.

Lu Jingshen followed behind, his heart filled with mixed feelings. The anger he had been holding in at the cafeteria had vanished.

Shen Tang went inside and took the enamel basin to wash up.

Lu Jingshen was left out in the room. Frustrated, he opened the book on the table, but couldn't read a single word.

After washing up, Shen Tang returned with a basin in her hand.

Water droplets still clung to the ends of her hair, her face looked dewy and tender, and a small patch of her collar was damp.

The book Lu Jingshen was holding slipped from his hand and fell onto the table. He was somewhat embarrassed and exasperated, saying:

"Shen Tang, sit down. I have something to say."

Shen Tang sat down at the table, applied a layer of face cream in front of the mirror, and gently massaged it.

She said in a calm tone, "Speak your mind."

Speak your mind.

Lu Jingshen frowned as he watched her rub her cheeks.

What is she doing? Applying face cream so late at night, is she trying to seduce him?

Hmph, he won't take the bait. His heart belongs only to Yang Xinyue.

Thinking of Yang Xinyue, Lu Jingshen finally spoke:

"Shen Tang, I'm not afraid to tell you frankly, I don't intend to spend my life with you."

"What a coincidence, me too." Shen Tang didn't even turn her head.

Lu Jingshen's brows furrowed even more, and he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

Hmph, so stubborn. Even now, you're still arguing with him.

Everyone knows she cherishes him dearly; otherwise, she wouldn't have jumped into the river for him after hearing just a few rumors.

She was truly willing to die for him.

"I'm not joking with you," Lu Jingshen said seriously. "I married you to repay a debt of gratitude. Over the years, our Lu family has taken care of you, and we've repaid that debt more or less."

Shen Tang turned around and sneered, "Lu Jingshen, you are truly shameless to the extreme."

Shen Tang crossed her legs and leaned back in her chair.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to see your mother and settle all the scores we've accumulated over the years."

After she finished speaking, she threw Lu Jingshen's bedding on the ground.

"You'll sleep on the floor."
