My Wife, The Ice Queen President - chapter 12

Children from poor families were divided into two extremes. They either became self-sufficient and walked on the righteous path, or they tried to take an illegitimate path to escape from poverty. It was obvious that Wang Shu had gone down the wrong path.

“Tong’er has been sensible ever since he was a child. He knew that our family was poor and couldn’t afford to support both of their studies. Hence, he decided to stop studying on his own accord, for her sake. Who would’ve thought that his sister would turn out this way in the end? Had I known; I would’ve sent Tong’er to university instead of her.”

“Ye Xiong, when I first laid eyes on you, I knew that you were no ordinary person.” Madam Wang’s eyes were focused on Ye Xiong.

“Madam, I’m just an ordinary man.”

“Don’t bully me into thinking that I’m poor and inexperienced. I’ve seen people with these very eyes for more than sixty years now. I’m sure I can discern things on my own. I don’t know why you’ve become a construction worker, but I know that you’re a good man.”

‘Am I worthy of being a good man?’

“It’s too late for Wang Shu. I’m most worried about Tong’er now. I hope you can take care of him, within your power.”

“Don’t worry madam. I’ll make sure he’s alright.” Ye Xiong laughed.

It was past seven and the sky was almost dark by the time they left the village.

“Brother Xiong, what did my mother tell you earlier. She’s so talkative that it’s really annoying. Don’t take her words to heart,” Wang Tong said.

“Your mother asked me if you had a girlfriend yet.”

“Are you serious? How did you respond?”

“I told her that you’re currently in a relationship.”

“You’re making things worse for me. If she asks me to bring her home next time, where will I find a girlfriend?”

“You can rent literally anything these days. You can rent one when the time comes.”

“F*ck you. I need money for that, right?”

Then, Ye Xiong went to buy two new iPhones. One for himself, the other for Wang Tong.

“Brother Xiong, I can’t accept such an expensive gift.” Wang Tong had not expected such an expensive gift from Ye Xiong, and he tried to reject it.

“Do you want it? I’ll throw it away if you don’t want it.” Ye Xiong raised his hand up high as he finished talking.

Looking at Ye Xiong’s pose, Wang Tong was shocked. This Ye Xiong was rather crazy, so what he said was within the realm of possibility. Hence, he immediately took the phone from him.

Ye Xiong then spent an entire day with Wang Tong, and they spent his money as if it was nothing.

He had spent tens of thousands of dollars within the span of half a day. Everything they bought was completely impractical.

“Brother Xiong, where did you get so much money. Did you do something illegal?” Wang Tang asked softly.

“My wife gave me the money.”

“Who’s your wife? Why have I never heard of her?” Wang Tong asked curiously.

“Yang Xinyi,” Ye Xiong told him the truth.

Pfft!

Wang Tong almost laughed out loud.

“F*cking hell. If your wife is Yang Xinyi, then my wife is Zhang Ziyi 1 !”

‘Sigh. No one is willing to believe me when I tell them the truth.’ Ye Xiong sighed hopelessly.

The next day, while Ye Xiong and Wang Tong were transporting bricks, a woman in working attire walked over and screamed from afar, “Wang Tong, come here for a second.”

She was none other than Wang Tong’s sister, Wang Shu.

Wang Shu’s expression looked extremely foul and extremely arrogant. She glared at Ye Xiong beside him and said, “Wang Tong, I don’t want you hanging out with useless people anymore. You’ll never be successful that way.”

“Brother Xiong is not a useless person!” Wang Tong refuted hastily.

“Look at him and his thug vibe. Anyone can tell he’s nothing but bad with a single glance.” Wang Shu glared at Ye Xiong with a discriminating look. “He’s a man with arms and legs, but he decides to become a construction worker. What a lowlife.”

Ye Xiong could no longer hold back his anger upon hearing her words.

“What’s wrong with being a construction worker? We rely on our hands to make a living and that irks you for some reason. If your brother hadn’t worked as a construction worker, you wouldn’t have had the money to continue your studies at a university. If it wasn’t for your brother, you might have been a prostitute in some alley.” Ye Xiong was furious.

“How dare you scold me.” Wang Shu pointed at Ye Xiong as she shook with anger.

“If you weren’t Wang Tong’s sister, it would be more than just a scolding. I’d have slapped you twice in the face.” Ye Xiong harrumphed.

“Just you wait.”

Wang Shu left angrily.

Wang Tong sighed. His face turned gloomy when she left.

“I’m sorry Brother Xiong. My sister didn’t use to be this way. I don’t know when she turned out like this,” Wang Tong said.

“It’s fine, she’ll regret it one day.” Ye Xiong comforted him.

Wang Shu returned to her office. She immediately headed into the Deputy General Manager’s room and sat on the sofa angrily.

When Yang Bin entered the room and saw her sitting on the sofa, he closed the door and hugged her.

“Stop fooling around, we’re in the office.” Wang Shu pushed him away.

“We’re in my office, don’t worry about it. No one will enter here without my orders. Come, let me kiss you.” Yang Bin leaned his face towards Wang Shu’s body the instant he finished speaking.

Wang Shu tried to push him away but to no avail. Thus, she let him do whatever he wanted.

Yang Bin finished within three minutes, which made Wang Shu even more furious.

She kicked the fat Yang Bin away and said angrily, “Useless.”

“I’m sorry. I’m too excited.”

Wang Shu adjusted her shirt as she said angrily, “I want you to help me with something.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Please call to the Human Resources Department and tell them to fire my brother and that guy named Ye Xiong,” Wang Shu said.

“That doesn’t sound like a good idea!” Yang Bin looked rather reluctant. “The construction site is under Xia Qiu’s management. It’s not my right as a sales manager to meddle in another person’s management scope.”

“Are you going to call them or not? Don’t blame me for being cruel if you don’t,” Wang Shu rolled her eyes as she said angrily, “What will you do if I were to send this picture to your wife or your daughter in elementary school?”

Wang Shu waved her phone and it was displaying a photo of the two kissing passionately.

Yang Bin started to grow worried and he said softly, “Fine, I’ll call.”

Yang Bin took out his phone and called Xia Qiu immediately. He gave the latter a summary of the situation.

“How dare those two construction workers offend Manager Yang. They really have no idea who they’ve messed with. Tell me, what are their names?” Xia Qiu said arrogantly.

“Ye Xiong and Wang Tong.” Yang Bin reported the two names.

“They’ll leave the site within half an hour.” Xia Qiu hung up the call as he finished talking.
