CHAPTER 42: CHAPTER 42: YOU’RE RUTHLESS

Xinyan glanced at him and said, "I don’t trust your character. Besides, if your family gives me trouble in the future, having this receipt will save me a lot of hassle."

Everyone present was extremely impressed with this young lady, Xinyan. This was truly a strategic move; no matter what you said, she left you speechless, forcing you to do as she said.

Liang Xingguo was also surprised by this young lady’s decisiveness and prudence. She was truly closing in step by step. Jun Cheng really didn’t know how lucky he was.

Everyone now had the same thought: Jun Cheng was a big fool for letting such a smart wife go while fooling around with Yao Hui. He would regret this someday.

In fact, Jun Cheng was already regretting it to the core. What a mess! He had lost his reputation, his money, and was now being forced to write such a stupid receipt. He had lost face completely.

But with so many eyes watching, could he not write it?

He glared fiercely at Xinyan, "Fine, you win."

Xinyan didn’t care about his mood or how he looked at her. As long as he was unhappy, she was content.

The humiliation she suffered in her past life was not something she could forgive or be soft-hearted about now.

They had better not mess with her in the future. She would just be an onlooker and watch the show. Of course, giving it a little push here and there was necessary. Without her as the scapegoat this time, she believed they’d have quite the (chicken)-chaotic (fly) and (dog)-

lively (jump) life. She was really looking forward to it!

Jun Cheng found some paper and a pen, intending to just scribble something.

But Xinyan guessed his intention from his expression and warned, "You better write exactly as I say."

Manager Cao from the Women’s Federation admired Xinyan a lot and looked down on a man like Jun Cheng: "Comrade Jun Cheng, hurry up and write. We’re all busy here."

Liang Xingguo frowned and added, "Hurry up, don’t delay the factory’s production."

Jun Cheng didn’t dare take any chances. He didn’t want to provoke Manager Cao, who loved educating people, nor did he want to offend his superior, Director Liang.

He obediently wrote the receipt as Xinyan demanded and signed his name grandly.

Xinyan took the receipt and said to Director Liang, "Director Liang, thank you for today’s help. But could you please be a kind person to the end and help as a witness?"

Liang Xingguo was straightforward and wrote down directly: Witness: Liang Xingguo.

Afterwards, Xinyan had Manager Cao from the Women’s Federation and Zhang Meilian from the Union also sign as witnesses, and now she was assured. Even if the Lyu Family came looking one day, she wouldn’t have to waste words with them.

Just then, Jiao Sini rushed in, "Here, here, the ink pad is here."

Xinyan was delighted upon hearing this, thinking: It seems that doing good deeds pays off. If it weren’t for the incident of saving someone yesterday, why would they help her so much today?

Jun Cheng was glaring at Jiao Sini: Such a busybody.

Xinyan didn’t mind the hassle and had Jun Cheng, that scum, press his fingerprint on it, while also having the three witnesses do the same one by one. Now everything was perfect.

She carefully checked the receipt, blew it dry, and put it in her pocket—though she had already stored it in the study of the bamboo building in her space.

Just then, Yao Hui bounced out again, "Xinyan, now that everything is settled, you should go through the procedures, right? From now on, you and my brother-in-law—oh no, you and Jun Cheng have nothing to do with each other. Don’t shamelessly come looking again."

Xinyan looked at her disdainfully, "In this room, you’re the only shameless one, aren’t you?"

With that one sentence, Yao Hui was almost so angry she could spit out blood.
