Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 171
Chapter 171: Ulterior Motive
“While you are fine with your husband meeting another woman, I’m not fine with it. Don’t say you are just my husband’s sister-in-law, even if you are his cousin, I will not let you talk to him alone. Did you realize that you are acting inappropriately right now?” Lu Jueyu said coldly.
Jiao Siyu was irritated by her words and said, “Lu Jueyu, watch your words! What do you mean by that?”
“Second sister-in-law, it’s you who have to pay attention to your words and deeds. I know exactly what I am talking about, but what about you? You came to find my husband, but you refused to tell me, his wife, your purpose. Logically speaking, if you have anything important to do, you should come to me instead of my husband. If you have no ulterior motives, why don’t you tell me what you want and insist on waiting for my husband?” Lu Jueyu raised her eyes and said. Her words were sharp and laced with warning.
After listening to her words, Jiao Siyu found that her words and actions could easily cause misunderstandings. Although she did have some feelings for Li Chenmo before, after being rejected by him and marrying Li Chenxuan, she never thought about having an affair with her brother-in-law!
This time, she was in the wrong, so Jiao Siyu was speechless. She looked at Lu Jueyu’s cold eyes and suddenly felt scared. After a while, she found her voice and said in panic, “You… don’t talk nonsense! I don’t have any ulterior motives for your husband.”
Lu Jueyu observed her for a while and said, “Since you have no ulterior motives, then tell me what your purpose is for coming to my husband.”
Jiao Siyu was embarrassed and annoyed. She was a proud woman, and although she usually behaved like a shameless person, she always made it seem like it was a given. So, she can still pretend that she didn’t do anything shameless and save her face. But now, Lu Jueyu asked her directly. She couldn’t bring herself to tell her that she wanted some food. It’s too shameful.
After waiting for a long time, Lu Jueyu still didn’t hear anything from Jiao Siyu and began to lose patience.
“Sister-in-law, if there is nothing else, I won’t accompany you.” Lu Jueyu said and wanted to close the door.
Jiao Siyu hurriedly held the door and shouted, “Wait!”
Lu Jueyu looked at her, waiting for her to speak. After a while, Jiao Siyu finally said, “I’m here to get the food your husband promised my husband before.”
Lu Jueyu raised her eyebrows, not believing her words at all. She understands her husband’s personality. If he really wanted to give Li Chenxuan something, he wouldn’t wait until they knocked on the door. Everything was delivered by him himself. But before she could speak, Lu Jueyu heard a faint sound coming from Jiao Siyu’s stomach.
She looked at Jiao Siyu carefully and found that she was thinner and paler than the last time they met. Her skin even looks a little yellow. Although she didn’t like the second branch, Lu Jueyu frowned when she saw Jiao Siyu’s sickly appearance. After considering for a moment, she finally stepped aside and said, “Come in.”
Jiao Siyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and finally entered the house. When she saw the bamboo fence that separated the plot in the front yard, she said nothing, despite having some curiosity. She knew clearly that Lu Jueyu was not a soft persimmon like Zhang Dongmei.
Entering the living room, Lu Jueyu said, “Sit down first, I’ll go get the food.”
Jiao Siyu was surprised by her words. When she tried to get into the house, she just told Lu Jueyu an obvious lie. As long as she could see Li Chenmo, she had the confidence that he would lend her some money or food. Therefore, she never expected that Lu Jueyu would say such things. Did Li Chenmo really prepare food for Li Chenxuan?
While Jiao Siyu was waiting in the living room, Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen and took out a bamboo basket. She took the salted pork belly off the beam and cut two slices weighing around a catty. Then, she scooped two kilograms of mixed grains from the jar into a small jar. Although mixed grains look similar to coarse grains, they are rich in nutrients and taste good. In addition to the grains and meat, she placed ten eggs in the basket.
When she returned to the living room, Lu Jueyu saw Jiao Siyu eating the biscuits she had made before. She glanced at the open cabinet and said, “Sister-in-law, as a guest, you are very comfortable in my house.”
Jiao Siyu had been to school before and understood Lu Jueyu’s sarcasm. But instead of feeling embarrassed, she said, “You’re a great cook. I’ll bring these snacks back for my husband.”
To Lu Jueyu, these biscuits were nothing, but she didn’t like Jiao Siyu’s attitude, so she said, “Oh, since my sister-in-law likes it, then bring it back. Since you have got the food, you should leave. I am very busy.”
Hearing these words, Jiao Siyu’s mouth suddenly stopped chewing. She quickly stuffed the remaining biscuits into her mouth, drank a cup of tea, and said, “What food? This is just a snack!”
Lu Jueyu looked at the empty jar and asked, “Sister-in-law, do you know how much this snack of mine is worth? It is made of brown sugar, white flour, eggs, raisins, milk and honey. Each piece of ingredients is equivalent to 1 yuan. You ate a jar and you said it was just a snack?”
As soon as Jiao Siyu heard that it was 1 yuan a piece, she regretted eating it too quickly. She should eat it slowly and savor the taste!
Lu Jueyu knew from the original novel that Jiao Siyu was proud yet shameless, but she didn’t expect that her shamelessness had reached a God level. It was a real eye-opener for her. She stared at Jiao Siyu’s arm for a while.
