On his first night as a substitute bride accompanying the army, the abstinent tycoon dropped his pre

Chapter 33 Hunger Strike
Huo Jingyuan sat in the driver's seat.

When Xue Li saw Wen Ci open the door, he coughed lightly, and then the boys standing behind him greeted in unison, "Hello, sister-in-law."

"Hello..." Wen Ci blinked.

Xue Li noticed his sister-in-law's confusion and quickly explained, "We came here to help."

Wen Ci suddenly realized what was going on, opened the front door completely, went back inside to boil water, and glanced at the clock in the living room. It was almost five o'clock.

It's almost lunchtime.

Huo Jingyuan carried the wooden planks into the yard.

Wen Ci took small steps and waved to Huo Jingyuan. After he approached, she said, "Have your subordinates help you. You'll show off your skills tonight."

The man's expression darkened slightly.

He only cooks for his wife and has no intention of letting his subordinates taste his food.

"Go to the cafeteria to get some food in a bit."

"That's not good?"

Huo Jingyuan lifted his eyelids: "What's wrong with it?"

The wooden planks used to build the pavilion were pre-assembled, but Huo Jingyuan specifically bought spray paint, making the original wood-colored pavilion look a bit odd.

While working, Xue Li asked, "Sister-in-law, can we stay and watch TV tonight?"

Wen Ci smiled gently: "Of course."

It took several people an hour to build the pavilion together, and they also paved a path through the yard to the pavilion with gravel.

Finally, Huo Jingyuan first sprayed the pavilion with the color of pear wood, and then sprayed it inside and out with anti-corrosion paint. The courtyard renovation was still halfway complete.

Wen Ci looked at the pavilion in the courtyard and was extremely satisfied.

On the other side, in a grand compound in Beijing, the Jiang family.

Jiang Ye locked herself in her room. She lay curled up on the bed, having not eaten for three days and relying on the few snacks left in the room.

Having been reborn, she had no money. She could only force them to agree by going on a hunger strike.

Suddenly, Jiang Ye heard a sound outside the window. She turned over in bed and looked out the window, where a figure appeared.

Jiang Chen climbed to the second-floor balcony, opened the window, and climbed into the room. He walked to the bedside and sighed softly, "Little Yezi, is it really necessary to fast for three days?"

Jiang Ye hid under the covers and didn't say a word.

"Have you really thought this through? Do you really want to go to the Northwest?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Ye poked her head out from under the covers. Her face was pale, her eyes were filled with tears, and she sobbed, "I'm serious, brother."

"Sigh." Jiang Chen sighed deeply. After these past few days, he had figured things out. Once Jiang Ye set her mind on something, she would find a way to accomplish it, no matter what.

Instead of stopping her, let her go to the Northwest and experience some setbacks first.

Jiang Chen took out several hundred yuan from his bag and said in an unusually serious voice, "I asked a comrade to find you a teaching job in the Northwest Military Region. If you think it's tough there, then come back and study for the college entrance exam again."

"Brother, you promised me you'd go to the Northwest?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Ye threw back the covers and grabbed Jiang Chen's arm, her voice brimming with undisguised joy: "Brother, do Mom and Dad know?"

"I don't know, so you have to sneak out. Your high school boyfriend is still waiting for you at the gate of the compound."

The family quarters in Beijing were considered important government buildings, and non-military personnel were not allowed to enter at will. Gu Zhe had no one to accompany him, so he could only wait at the entrance.

Ginger Leaf: "..."

After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Ye made up her mind: she might as well run away. After all, she wasn't a biological daughter of the Jiang family; she'd just wait until she broke up Wen Ci and Huo Jingyuan.

Her life was much better than it was in the Jiang family.

Jiang Ye took the money from her brother and packed her suitcase to take the train to Haishi that night. As for Gu Zhe, she didn't plan to see him again.
