The Wife Wants A Divorce Every day - Chapter 9

 Chapter 9: Xi Heming: “I look forward to cooperating with you.”

 

Looking at Xi Heming’s rapidly changing face, Aunt Wang, the maid, quickly threw down her spoon and fled back to the kitchen, leaving the battlefield to the young couple who had just gotten married and were fighting like sky and the earth turning upside down[1].

 

[1]天翻地覆[tiān fān dì fù] – sky and the earth turning upside down (idiom)/ The world has turned upside down; fig. complete confusion; everything turned on its head; Also described as being very fierce ; a lot of trouble. 

 

 

Jiang Wanwan, who had just changed her clothes, heard Xi Heming’s voice breaking scream and came to the dining room somewhat puzzled: “What’s all this commotion? Did you get your kidney stepped on?”

 

 

The word “kidney” hit a sore spot for Xi Heming. He looked at Jiang Wanwan with his eyes blazing: “What kind of soup did you bring back?”

 

 

“Tonic soup!” Jiang Wanwan looked at him with some confusion, “Isn’t it enough?”

 

 

“I’m afraid it’s too much!” Xi Heming gritted his teeth and said, “Jiang Wanwan, you really don’t change your lust?”

 

 

“When have I ever lusted after you again?” Jiang Wanwan’s looked wronged, but looking at Xi Heming’s furious look, she also guessed that most of it has something to do with this tonic soup.

 

 

Walking over to the table, Jiang Wanwan picked up the spoon from the soup and scooped it up from inside. This time it was not the sheep’s eggs that were fished out, but the sheep’s kidney.

 

 

“Big kidney ah ……” Although the kidney had already been cut open, Jiang Wanwan, a regular at the night market barbecue stalls during her college days, still recognized it at a glance.

 

 

Xi Heming covered his face and took a deep breath, feeling that all his cool composure had disappeared when he met Jiang Wanwan.

 

 

Jiang Wanwan smiled a little awkwardly. She didn’t expect Jiang’s mother to bring back this kind of tonic soup. When she looked at the unopened gift box next to her, she hurriedly took it over and opened the package to take a look inside, and the words “Huiren Kidney Treasure” came into view unobstructed.

 

 

Jiang Wanwan: “…………”

 

 

Mom’s gift is a little fierce ah! 

 

 

Looking at the blush that quickly rose on Jiang Wanwan’s face, a bad feeling came over Xi Heming. Although he knew in his heart that it was best not to know what the gift was, he couldn’t help but glance at it.

 

 

He really wants to know what else Jiang Wan Wan has up her sleeve!!!

 

 

Jiang Wanwan looked up sheepishly and collided with Xi Heming’s probing eyes. She tried to stuff the gift box back in, but the more she fumbled, the stronger her hands got and she broke the box, dropping boxes of oral fluid inside.

 

 

Looking at the ten or so boxes of “Huiren kidney treasure” on the ground, Xi Heming felt the veins on his head were about to fall out in pain.

 

 

t/n: I did some googling. Huiren Shenbao/Huiren kidney treasure is a real Chinese product. It is a traditional Chinese medicinal concoction intended to nourish yin, strengthen yang, and improve physical fitness. It is also used to treat impotence. To increase sëxual libido, sëxual drive, and stamina.

 

 

“Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is not for you.” Jiang Wanwan hastily put away the things on the floor and sent them back to her room. After a long time, she came out with an embarrassed smile, “I was in too much of a hurry when I left, I took the wrong gift box. This is what my mother bought for my father.”

 

 

Although it was not very kind to Father Jiang to say that, she really had no other excuses in this situation. She did not understand why Jiang’s mother would prepare such a gift, what misunderstanding did she have about Xi Heming?

 

 

Does Xi Heming look that bad?

 

 

Xi Heming rubbed his chest and regretted getting married so easily for the sake of shares. After five years of living with Jiang Wanwan, he guess that he couldn’t wait to get the old man’s shares before he died of anger.

 

 

“The gift box was a misunderstanding. What about this soup?” Xi He Ming looked at Jiang Wan Wan feebly, he just wanted to know how she was going to get this lie out of the way.

 

 

Jiang Wanwan looked at him innocently, “Would you believe me if I say that my mother cooked the soup for me?”

 

 

Xi Heming laughed at the way she played dumb: “You’re a little girl eating that stuff? Fine, you can have one and I’ll see!”

 

 

Jiang Wanwan has no pressure to eat this. When she was in college, she loved to go to the barbecue stalls. The roasted big kidneys are very tasty, but the price is not cheap. Jiang Wanwan didn’t always want to order one, but only when she got a scholarship or rewarded herself with a good grade. Later on, when she started her own business, she liked to go to the night market alone whenever she encountered a setback. Eating a few skewers of barbecued pork and a large skewer of kidney, and then throwing herself back into her work with full of fighting spirit.

 

 

On the contrary, in the past few years, she’s been so busy with socializing and work that she hadn’t eaten barbecue for a long time.

 

 

Picking up the spoon, Jiang Wanwan took a bite of the lamb’s kidney and frowned just chewing twice, “This thing is too hard to eat in the soup.”

 

 

When Xi Heming saw this, he was about to taunt her, when he heard Jiang Wanwan call out his maid, Aunt Wang, “Aunt Wang, can you add some seasoning and bake it in the oven for me? If you have lamb at home, you can also grill a few skewers for me.”

 

 

Xi Heming: “????”

 

 

Half an hour later, Xi Heming, sitting at the table, looked at Jiang Wanwan who was facing him with no expression, only to see her take a big bite of the roasted kidney and a satisfied look on her face, “Delicious.” 

 

 

Xi Heming: “!!!”

 

 

Jiang Wanwan, you’re such a pure man!!!

 

 

****

 

 

After eating the barbecue, Jiang Wanwan found the memory of being happy again and ran straight to the study to start working.

 

 

Xi Heming looked at the cold food in front of him and couldn’t help but rub his stomach. He was going to have indigestion again tonight.

 

 

The small study room opposite Jiang Wanwan’s bedroom had already been tidied up. On the large desk are the laptops that Jiang Wanwan wanted and a top-of-the-range desktop computer. All the servers that Jiang Wanwan wanted were also placed in the study.

 

 

She have to say that Xi Heming is quite a reliable person. Although he had some unpleasant encounters with her and scoffed at her idea of starting a business, but he did what he promised to do and did it very well. She might not have been able to get everything she needed if she buy it herself.

 

 

Thinking of Xi Heming’s dark face at dinner, Jiang Wanwan felt a little guilty. If only she asked Mother Jiang what the tonic was and brought it back, she would have been fine. But then again, she really didn’t expect Jiang’s mother to prepare such a tonic soup and gift box. How worried was she that she would not be “satisfied”?

 

 

Looking at the brand new equipment in the room, Jiang Wanwan felt she had to go and say thank you to Xi Heming and say sorry again.

 

 

Smelling the smell of barbecue on her body, Jiang Wanwan went back to the room and took a quick shower and changed into clean house clothes so as not to irritate Xi Heming.

 

 

Xi Heming was sitting on the big, comfy sofa watching a movie. Jiang Wanwan glanced at the projection screen and couldn’t tell what the movie was about, but she thought it must be a tragedy, because the expression on his face looked so bitter and angry.

 

 

“I’m really sorry about tonight!” Jiang Wanwan cuddled her palm awkwardly, “That thing really isn’t good for soup stew.”

 

 

It was fine if Jiang Wanwan didn’t say it, but once she did, Xi Heming felt a little sick to his stomach again.

 

 

“Is there anything else?” Xi Heming asked coldly, his eyes still on the curtain, not even giving Jiang Wanwan an extra look.

 

 

“And a thank you.” Jiang Wanwan said sincerely, “Thank you for helping me set up the study and preparing the computer and server for me. By the way, how much did these things cost in total? I’ll transfer it to you.”

 

 

Xi Heming finally turned his head when he heard this, “I even gave you fifty million yuan. Do I still need this small change?”

 

 

Jiang Wanwan’s expression was firm, “One size does not fit all. This is my own personal matter. I can’t use your money.”

 

 

Xi Heming glanced at Jiang Wanwan’s serious expression and felt a bit of a headache again, “Jiang Wanwan, you’re not trying to add me to WeChat on the pretext of paying back the money, are you?”

 

 

Jiang Wanwan really didn’t know that she didn’t have Xi Heming in her WeChat friends, but she didn’t have the idea of adding him as a friend either.

 

 

“You’re thinking too much, I’ll transfer the money to you.” Jiang Wanwan opened her mobile banking app. She had already tried it today, the passwords for all the bank cards were the original owner’s birthday. One of the bank cards had over 800,000 in savings, which was completely enough to cover her daily expenses for the past few years.

 

 

Xi Heming froze for a moment and looked up at Jiang Wanwan, who was standing in front of him. Her hair was curled in a loose ball at the top of her head. Perhaps because she had just taken a shower, and there was still some moisture in her hair. Her face was white and unpowdered, with a natural blush and a youthful air. Her large, dark eyes look intelligent and soulful, and her red lips are pursed with a stubborn temperament.

 

 

He have to say that compared to the old days when Jiang Wanwan’s make-up was delicate and exquisite, she now looks much more pleasing to the eye, but what’s with her increasing stubbornness?

 

 

He wouldn’t want the money. After all, the two of them are obviously husband and wife, so he would not want to lose face after receiving money from Jiang Wanwan. What’s more, he had arranged for his secretary to do all these things, and he didn’t even know how much it cost.

 

 

“Think of it as a gift for you to start your own business, so you can pay me back the 50 million sooner when you make money.”

 

Looking at Xi Heming’s insistence on not accepting it, Jiang Wanwan only had to take a step back: “When our two companies have cooperation in the future, I will give you a preferential price.”

 

Xi He Ming looked at Jiang Wan Wan with astonishment and almost laughed out loud when he saw her sincere expression. It was the first time he had seen someone so self-motivated, who hadn’t even registered the company yet, and was already talking to him about future cooperation with conviction. Ho ho, his Xi Group would not cooperate with a small enterprise like a workshop.

 

But looking at Jiang Wanwan’s confident look, he suddenly couldn’t bear to attack her, and even felt that she’s a little cute in her stupidity.

 

“Then go for it.” Xi Heming suppressed his laughter, “I look forward to cooperating with you.”

 

Jiang Wanwan said thank you and turned around to go back to her small study and started to bury her head in work. As an internet company, she first had to find out the market situation, how many strong rivals there were and how they were doing.

 

 

She worked in her study until twelve o’clock in the evening. When Jiang Wanwan got up the next day, Xi Heming had already left for work.

 

Jiang Wanwan had breakfast, changed her clothes, put on sunscreen and carried a small bag and hurriedly went out.

 

 

If she want to start a company, she have to have office space. Yesterday, after much consideration, Jiang Wanwan decided to put all her 40 million into talent acquisition and research and development. The office space can be rented first.

 

 

 

With the navigation on, Jiang Wanwan drove her own car to several places according to the address she searched yesterday, but they were either too noisy or the buildings were too old, none of them were to her liking. One by one, she eliminated them all. She was tired by the time she reached the last place, but when she got out of the car and saw the building in front of her, her eyes lit up.

 

 

 

This building is the best location after looking at several places, It is in the core location of the new district that the government has developed vigorously, with convenient transportation. The building has just been completed, with high-end facilities and high-end decoration.

 

After taking a look around, Jiang Wanwan and the staff collided with the 17th floor, which has a good view, plenty of sunlight and a view of the lake park below.

 

Seeing the satisfied expression on her face, the staff complimented her, “Ms. Jiang has a good eye. The 17th floor is very good in terms of height and view. I wonder if Ms. Jiang intends to rent or buy?”

 

In her heart, Jiang Wanwan wanted to buy it. However, she knew that it would not be cheap to buy this floor in this location, and if she did, her capital would be reduced by half in an instant.

 

 

“I’m going to rent it first. Is there any discount for a five-year lease?”

 

 

The staff shook their heads, “I’m sorry, but this building is very sought-after and we don’t have any discounts at the moment.”

 

 

“Okay, let’s sign the contract then.” Jiang Wanwan looked at the time on her watch and quickly calculated her schedule for the afternoon.

 

 

The staff took Jiang Wanwan back to the office and placed the prepared contract in front of her.

 

 

Jiang Wanwan was stunned when she saw the name of the company on the top, “Is this the building of the Xi Group?”

 

 

“Yes.” The smile on the staff’s face was incredibly proud, “The Xi Group started out in the real estate industry and is known for its quality. In addition, all of our buildings are our own properties, so both our reputation and service are top-notch. Ms. Jiang can rest assured.”

 

 

Jiang Wanwan touched her face in embarrassment. Yesterday, she had vowed to work with Xi Heming in the future, but isn’t this collaboration a little too soon?
