Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 126 What is a son compared to face?
Whenever Jiang Huaifang saw his eldest son, he would think of how he had made his fortune by relying on his wife's family.

It's not exactly honorable.

In addition, his in-laws had always been wary of him, which made him even more resentful after he married into the family.

He only felt he could breathe a sigh of relief after his wife died.

Later, when his eldest son was taken away by his father-in-law, he felt that life was better.

He later remarried and had two more sons who were just right for him. He also gained the appreciation of his superiors at work, which made him feel that his career would be more successful after leaving his wife's family.

His mindset gradually changed, and he felt that over the years, his in-laws had been the ones who limited his development.

Later, his father-in-law and his family also passed away. He thought he could get his hands on his wife's family's wealth, but to his surprise, the old man actually handed over the family fortune.

He would rather someone else benefit than give it to him, which made him extremely resentful of those two old men, and even his eldest son harbored resentment towards them.

Thinking that the old man would at least leave some of his family fortune to Jiang Chen after donating it, he had been trying to get information out of Mi Xiao'e for years, but unfortunately, he got nothing.

Seeing his eldest son being manipulated by Mi Xiao'e and not returning home for many years filled him with immense satisfaction.

Look, Jiang Huaifang can rise to prominence without relying on anyone.

However, as his sons grew up and his two younger sons became less capable than his older son, he began to feel resentful again.

He was always trying to find ways to bring his eldest son down from his pedestal, but unfortunately, his eldest son wasn't close to him and rarely came home.

Their household registration had been transferred to the military unit long ago.

As memories flooded back, Jiang Huaifang's eyes showed no tenderness when he looked at Jiang Chen.

"Hmm," Jiang Chen replied coolly.

The number of verbal exchanges between the father and son can be counted on one hand.

"When are you going back?" He already knew about what happened yesterday. After learning that Nan Lichen was the one who led the team, he knew that Jiang Chen knew about it.

Now, all he wants is to get back to his unit as soon as possible and not to get in his way.

"I still have three months of vacation left. I'll go back after the vacation ends." Jiang Chen's eyes darkened. He knew why he had asked him this.

"Bai Jing is my savior. If you have any complaints, you can take them out on me. Just let her go." This was the first time Jiang Chen had spoken to Jiang Huaifang so gently since he joined the army.

Jiang Huaifang hadn't expected this either. "She's just a country girl. What does it matter if she saved my life? Saving you is her good fortune." Jiang Huaifang put down the newspaper in his hand. "She made me lose face. This matter won't end so easily. The selection process is coming up soon, and I don't want anyone to bring this up."

Face is more important than anything else.

If he gets tricked by a little girl, how will he face his colleagues in the future?

"She's leaving soon, it won't affect you." Jiang Chen didn't expect him to be so firm even after he spoke up.

"With me here, she won't get hurt," Jiang Chen stated.

"You, you're disregarding your father's reputation for the sake of an outsider?" Jiang Huaifang was furious and slammed the newspaper heavily onto the coffee table.

"Jiang Chen, let me tell you, it's impossible. Remember this: we share the same fate. No matter how bad your Aunt Mi is, she's still my wife, Jiang Huaifang's wife. Not just anyone can slap her in the face."

“She brought it on herself. If she hadn’t provoked Bai Jing, how would Bai Jing have dealt with her? Dad, there has to be a right and wrong in everything. It was clearly Aunt Mi’s fault, so why blame her?” Jiang Chen knew his father’s values ​​were warped, but he never expected him to be so shameless.

"So what?" Jiang Huaifang said nonchalantly, "Does she think she can get away with this by sitting on my head?"

Jiang Chen felt that he had nothing to say to him.

"No matter what, I will keep an eye on her. I don't want yesterday's events to happen again." After saying that, Jiang Chen stood up and went back to his room.

Jiang Huaifang was panting heavily with anger. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was about to die.

"You unfilial son." After a while, Jiang Huai finally caught his breath and cursed angrily.

Then he picked up the phone and dialed a number.

The other end of the line answered quickly, and he said to the other end, "I don't want that bitch to leave City A safely."

He hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.

Bai Jing was unaware of all this. Just as the police station was wrapping up its operations, strange things began to happen around her.

This time, she was walking back when, in broad daylight, someone snatched her bag.

If she hadn't been strong, her cloth bag might have really been stolen.

Seeing that he had failed, the man was about to brandish his weapon when he saw Lin and his men running towards Bai Jing. He immediately ran into the surrounding alleys.

They weren't from City A, so they naturally didn't know where these interconnected alleys led, and gave up after chasing for a while.

"Bai Jing, are you alright?" Li Siyuan quickly came to Bai Jing's side and looked her up and down.

"Brother Li, I'm fine, it's just that my bag is broken." She usually carried this cloth bag for easy access to things.

There wasn't anything important inside, but there were some everyday items.

If it were to be stolen by someone else, it would be quite troublesome.

Li Siyuan glanced at the cloth bag in her hand and smiled, "It's good that you're alright."

A short while later, the people who had chased after them returned.

Seeing them panting, Bai Jing felt a surge of warmth in her heart. "Captain Lin, Brother Xiao, are you alright?"

"We're fine, Xiao Jing, are you alright?" Xiao Jianwen and the others were more worried about Bai Jing.

After all, being robbed in the street is quite frightening.

"I'm fine. You all know my abilities. That little thief couldn't scare me. It's just that my bag is damaged." Bai Jing handed over the cloth bag in her hand so they could see it clearly.

The cloth bag is broken, but the rest of the bag is fine.

"It's good that everyone's alright. Okay, from now on, wait for us after get off work so we can go back together. It's too unsafe." Fortunately, it only took a few days to recover, and we were safe once we got back to town.

Team Leader Lin had some guesses. He had already asked around about what happened yesterday, but unfortunately he didn't have many connections in City A, otherwise he wouldn't have been unable to find out anything in a whole day.

"Of course, call us when you go out, we'll go with you." Li Siyuan was also frightened; what if the thief drew his knife?

"Okay, I understand." Bai Jing thanked them sincerely.

"Come on, it's my treat today. Let's go to the state-run restaurant to calm our nerves." Then, with a wave of his hand, he led everyone directly to the restaurant.

The group didn't refuse, but they didn't intend for the young girl to treat them.

Back at the guesthouse, Bai Jing found someone had entered her room again.

She was speechless and grew even more dislikeful of Jiang Huaifang.

"Xiao Jin, Jiang Huaifang is really disgusting." Bai Jing put down what she was holding and complained to Xiao Jin.

[Host, you've already obtained his information, right? The pre-New Year selection is about to take place; you can help him out.]

Xiao Jin was giving advice to its host.
