Chapter 324: Chapter 324 Preparing the Banquet (5)_1

Xiu Jianlin was squatting at the front gate, smoking. His family wasn’t well-off, so ordinarily, when he craved a smoke, he would at most buy half a jin of tobacco and roll it into cigarettes with paper to satisfy his craving. Today, the Ruan Family was hosting a banquet and were quite generous, handing two cigarettes to each person who entered. He was enjoying his smoke when suddenly he saw his wife being dragged down like a madwoman, which startled him. Even as a long-time smoker, he began to cough uncontrollably.

He couldn’t bear to throw away the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, so he pinched it out and tucked it into his jacket pocket before hurrying over.

He first glared at Liu Mei, then turned to the Ruanlin Family with a flattering smile and said, "Auntie, what are you talking about? What kind of grudge could I harbor against you? Did Liu Mei do something again? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely discipline her when we get back!"

After finishing, he glared fiercely at Liu Mei, who looked like a madwoman and yanked her over.

Liu Mei was truly on the verge of going insane.

Ever since she entered the Ruan Family’s grand building, envy had been gnawing at her heart.

She deeply regretted not using the same methods on Ruan Jianguo that she used against Xiu Jianlin; otherwise, this wonderful house could have been hers.

And look at this man she carefully chose—what was he worth!

He lacked Ruan Jianguo’s capabilities, and outside the home, he never defended his wife, only took his anger out on her. She didn’t know what she was thinking when she went to so much trouble to marry him—she must have been blind.

Remembering the hardships she endured and comparing them to the Ruan Family’s living conditions...

Liu Mei could no longer contain herself, losing all reason. She shook off Xiu Jianlin’s hand vigorously and pointed at his nose as she yelled furiously, "Xiu Jianlin, are you even a man anymore! Didn’t you see that everyone is bullying your wife? Is this how you act as a man? You’re worse than a eunuch; even eunuchs are more capable than you!"

For a man in public, one of the most crucial things is face—especially for someone like Xiu Jianlin. At home, he could show weakness in front of Liu Mei, take any amount of scolding or beatings, but outside, he needed to uphold his dignity as a man.

But Liu Mei’s tirade enraged him completely.

Blinded by fury, he grabbed a stool and hurled it at Liu Mei.

Ruan Jiandang, standing off to the side, wasn’t able to stop him in time.

Liu Mei was struck squarely by the stool, and a bright red blood emerged from her forehead. She looked up at the blood dripping to her nose, covered her face, and began screaming, running around the house in chaos: "Murder, murder! Help!"

Before she could finish shouting, she slammed into a wall, leaving a bloody print, and then collapsed onto the floor, unconscious.

The Ruanlin Family’s expressions were beyond unsightly at this point, turning pitch black.

Xiu Jianlin was filled with regret after throwing the stool, especially when he saw Liu Mei’s blood staining the walls of the Ruan Family’s new house. A fresh building yet to be lived in, now smeared with blood, would be considered an ill omen by any family.

He hurried forward, rolled up his sleeves, and attempted to wipe it off, but the more he wiped, the messier it became.

Seeing that it was impossible to clean, he could only retract his hands sheepishly and looked at Ruan Jianguo with full remorse, "Brother Ruan, this..."

"First, take your wife to see Doctor Lu; he hasn’t arrived yet," Ruan Jianguo said, visibly distressed, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

As much as he detested this family, he couldn’t just watch someone die in his own house.
