Chapter 207 Provincial Examination
After Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu left, Chen Buyu found the restaurant staff and spent a large sum of money as a reward for their hard work. He then hired some people to take the drunk students back home.

The two had drunk a little, but not much, and riding the horse helped them sober up. A gust of wind blew, and they were both sober.

“Wang Shu was too impolite today, and I’m afraid she has offended the Zhang siblings badly,” Chen Buyu said. “Regardless of whether you become an official in the future, it is the most basic thing not to make enemies casually.”

"That kid seems indifferent to everything, but he actually cares more about his wife and her mother than anything else. If you mess with him, he might not care and won't bother with you, but messing with his wife and mother-in-law is a different story. He looks cold on the outside, but he's very warm-hearted inside," Zhong Chushan said. "Besides, Brother Zhang's sister is indeed a bit unreasonable. If Brother Zhang were reasonable, he should discipline his sister properly, otherwise she'll cause him even bigger trouble sooner or later."

In the following days, Su Yaoguang had Zhou Wangshu bring hangover pills to various gatherings. However, the pills were never used.

Ever since Su Yaoguang single-handedly outdrank seven men and knocked them all out, no one dared to drink with Zhou Wangshu anymore. At the same time, Su Yaoguang became famous overnight; everyone knew Zhou Wangshu had a beautiful wife, and this beautiful wife was extremely protective of her husband. Anyone who tried to get Zhou Wangshu drunk was prepared to be forced to vomit.

Curious, some people made a special trip to visit her, and Su Yaoguang warmly welcomed them. Afterwards, the things Su Yaoguang had done in the county town were spread around, and people's gaze towards her changed from admiration to respect. Even Zhou Wangshu had many aloof students who took the initiative to befriend him.

As for Xiao Yanci, he initially felt ashamed to show his face. Later, he saw Zhou Wangshu befriending those he had been close to in his past life, several of whom had even achieved good grades. For the sake of his future development, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and attend various gatherings, trying to repair his image. Unfortunately, his reputation had already spread, and no one wanted to associate with him.

For the first time, Xiao Yanci felt nervous.

Despite everything that had happened before, he had never been nervous. But this time, seeing Zhou Wangshu steal his connections from his past life, he realized he was losing control.

"Where did you go?" Xiao Yanci stood at the door, watching Jiang Yihuan return from outside, carrying a basket filled with all sorts of vegetables and meat.

Jiang Yihuan patted her chest, looking quite frightened.

"I'm going to buy groceries!"

Xiao Yanci's gaze lingered on Jiang Yihuan's ears: "Did you buy new earrings?"

Jiang Yihuan touched her earlobe, her eyes flashing: "Well, I happened to find it on sale at a low price, and I thought it was a rare opportunity, so I reluctantly bought it."

Xiao Yanci looked displeased.

“Su Yaoguang changes her jewelry every day, and everyone praises her for looking beautiful. I thought Brother Xiao was much gentler and more considerate than that Zhou Wangshu, and I also wanted to see me dressed up beautifully.”

The displeasure in Xiao Yanci's eyes disappeared.

He looked Jiang Yihuan up and down and saw that her makeup was exquisite and her attire was elegant, as if she had returned to the most charming Jiang Yihuan from her previous life.

Jiang Yihuan is certainly very beautiful; with just a little dressing up, she can be quite charming.

"Let's cook, I'm hungry."

"it is good."

When Xiao Yanci wasn't looking, Jiang Yihuan pouted, a look of disdain flashing in her eyes.

Xiao Yanci sat at his desk, but he couldn't concentrate on the book in front of him. He heard a noise outside, peeked out, and saw Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu returning, playfully bickering.

Jiang Yihuan wasn't wrong. Su Yaoguang wore fashionable jewelry, had her hair styled in a trendy updo, and her makeup was exquisite. She radiated a bright and cheerful aura, truly a vibrant beauty. Jiang Yihuan had a better natural look than her, so there was no reason for her to be overshadowed. It could only be said that in order to save money, they hadn't dressed up Jiang Yihuan for a long time. They should have put more effort into her. After all, a man's wife is his second face. If Jiang Yihuan looked shabby, others would think that Xiao Yanci was powerless and incompetent.

"Huan'er, let's go buy some clothes and jewelry later," Xiao Yanci said.

Jiang Yihuan, who was busy in the kitchen, almost cut her finger.

She looked up in surprise, and when she saw Xiao Yanci's serious gaze, a thought popped into her mind: This bastard actually has money.

He has money and hadn't thought about spending it on her before, but now that he's heard that Su Yaoguang next door is wearing jewelry and dressed up nicely, he wants to outdo her.

No, he wanted to surpass Zhou Wangshu.

He wanted to prove that marrying Xiao Yanci would have been more fulfilling than marrying Zhou Wangshu. He wanted to make Su Yaoguang regret not choosing him.

This despicable man has his eye on Su Yaoguang, lusting after other men's women.

A look of shame and indignation flashed in Jiang Yihuan's eyes.

However, she soon realized that she shouldn't miss such an opportunity that was offered to her.

She had long understood that men were unreliable, and only gold and silver were reliable.

Xiao Yanci used all his resources to promote Jiang Yihuan. And it did have some effect. He took Jiang Yihuan around to network with students, and he actually made some connections. Although these new faces were different from those in his previous life, it was a good start for Xiao Yanci. Once he took that first step, the connections that originally belonged to him would return.

Amidst the busyness, it was time to enter the examination room.

Su Yaoguang escorted Zhou Wangshu outside the examination hall.

She had no dealings with Zhou Wangshu; he understood everything. After watching Zhou Wangshu enter the examination hall, as she turned to leave, she saw Jiang Yihuan and Xiao Yanci.

This time, Jiang Yihuan didn't do anything as foolish as before. The food she prepared for Xiao Yanci didn't violate any taboos, and he didn't get an upset stomach again.

Su Yaoguang was simply curious whether Jiang Yihuan would fall twice in the same place, and she was actually a little disappointed when she saw the ordinary food.

Since there's no good show to watch, let's get on with business matters.

As soon as she turned around, Jiang Yi came over to greet her, fiddling with her new earrings and saying, "I said I wouldn't buy them, but Brother Xiao insisted on buying them for me. Such big pearls, they must have cost a lot of money! Brother Xiao is so wasteful."

Su Yaoguang drew two circles with her fingers, making the shape of eyes and placing them around her eyes, as if she were enlarging her eyes to look carefully: "Where is it? Where is the pearl? Such a small pearl, could it be that it was still a baby? How could they cruelly cut it out like this?"

“Su Yaoguang, you do have money, but you buy everything you eat, use, wear, and jewelry with your own money. Your man still depends on you to support him! I’m different. Brother Xiao bought me many nice things. This kind of man truly knows how to cherish a woman. Most importantly, he is a real man and can be my true husband.”

"This is the first time I've ever heard of someone who earns their own money being considered inferior to others. You're like a parasite, clinging to a man, and you're not ashamed of it, you're even proud of it! Did you go out without your brain?" Su Yaoguang was increasingly unable to understand what Jiang Yihuan was thinking. What was she trying to prove to her? Was she trying to prove that she was living a glamorous life and was happier than her?
