Chapter 219 I'm Out of Your League
Liu was a little shifty-eyed, "What do you... you mean? Don't be ridiculous!"
When Xiyuan walked over and reached out to pat him casually, a card fell out.
Seeing this, the musclemen who maintained the order directly lifted him up, "Good for you! I was wondering why you've been so lucky these days. You win money all day long. It turns out that you tricked me right under my nose! Carry him down!"
When Xiyuan stood in place and watched him being taken away, he knew that Liu would certainly not end well. Maybe he would be much more miserable than being caught by the government...
Xiyuan looked at their receding figures and smiled in satisfaction. "Since Liu dared to bully my wife, it was not too much to make him suffer a little, right?" He thought.
He was not interested in having fun here anymore after he taught the boy a lesson quietly. So he directly gave up his seat and left.
But coincidentally, Lingyi and her maid Liu beside her saw him as he was walking out of the casino door...
Xiyuan walked in front of them and didn't even notice the eyes behind him that kept staring at him.
When he left school in the afternoon, he saw Lingyi standing at the door again.
Although he looked steadily forward as he walked past them, he was called by Lingyi.
Xiyuan promised his wife not to have any dealings with other women. At this moment, when he heard her call him, he just ignored her and went straight on his way.
Seeing this, Lingyi didn't care to be reserved anymore. She directly chased after him with the hem of her skirt in her hand and stopped in front of him.
Xiyuan took a step back and kept a safe distance from her. His frown could have killed a mosquito.
"What exactly do you want from me?!" He said with an unpleasant tone and exhausting patience.
Lingyi didn't push him too hard. Instead, she chuckled and asked him, "What's wrong? Did your wife leave?"
"It has nothing to do with Miss Guo!"
Lingyi curled her lip, "Okay, don't be sanctimonious. I'm asking you, am I, Guo Lingyi, not good enough for you? Why do you have to be like this?"
She was aggressive, but Xiyuan did not follow the usual rules at all.
"Yes, you are not good enough for me."
The words that Lingyi had prepared were suddenly choked in her throat.
Lingyi was speechless.
"What makes me not good enough for you? I, Guo Lingyi, read the Book of Songs at the age of five and the Biography of the Exemplary Women at the age of seven. Although I can't say that I am extremely knowledgeable, at least I am well-read. How can you say that I am not good enough for you?"
Xiyuan replied in a serious manner, "You've read all those books in vain. You said that you have read the Biography of the Exemplary Women, but which of these things you did is what an exemplary woman should do? I am a good man from a decent family. As for you, you are really not good enough for me. Don't bother me again, or don't be blamed for not being nice."
Lingyi's face was red with anger, "You... you..."
Xiyuan didn't want to talk to her anymore. He turned around and was about to leave, but once again she reached out and stopped him.
"Stand still!"
How could Xiyuan listen to her? He just went around her, but she said behind him, gnashing her teeth, "Aren't you afraid that I'll spread the news about your visit to the casino today? It is not good for you scholars to have such a stain, right?"
Xiyuan chuckled, "What could happen even if you spread that news? Am I not allowed to look for someone? All right, don't pester me anymore. Otherwise, I will directly tell the teacher."
Just at that moment, a voice sounded behind them, "Tell me what?"
Xiyuan looked back just in time to see his teacher, Guo Xuzhou, standing behind him. He respectfully bowed to his teacher.
Xuzhou glanced at them and asked again with a stern face, "What are you hiding from me?"
Lingyi immediately shook her head, "Nothing."
Then Xuzhou turned to Xiyuan and asked, "Xiyuan? You say."
Xiyuan turned against Lingyi without any psychological burden, "Teacher, I already have a wife and I don't want to take a concubine. I'm afraid I have to disappoint Miss Guo."
Xuzhou's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot. Lingyi stiffened just by a glance from him.
She had a feeling that she would suffer when she returned.
Xuzhou just glanced at her and turned to leave. Lingyi didn't dare to delay at all, so she quickly followed him.
Liu turned around and stared at Xiyuan, who was indifferent.
He only wished that Xuzhou can properly discipline his daughter. People should not destroy a marriage no matter how. It was hardly a kind thought and she read all the books of sages in vain.

Jiuyue hadn't arrived home yet. Xiuniang suddenly found that these days her mother-in-law seemed to be a little overly concerned about her.
Cuihua followed her wherever she went. Even when Xiuniang went to the bathroom, she guarded the door, which made Xiuniang a little uncomfortable.
This day, Xiuniang struggled a lot, but she still said, "Mom, you don't have to follow me all the time. There are still a few months before I give birth. I can take care of myself."
However, Cuihua grunted, "Look how careless you are. How can I rest assured? When Ercheng left, he told me to take good care of you. Women are likely to be miscarried in the first trimester of pregnancy, so I have to be careful. As the saying goes, it's always right to be careful."
Hearing her say so, Xiuniang smiled happily. So it turned out that his man had specially asked for it before he left home. She knew she didn't misjudge him, he was caring.
Cuihua knew what Xiuniang was thinking when she looked at Xiuniang, so she didn't talk anymore.
Didn't mothers always think that the family got prosperous through harmony?
Her words worked a bit, at least her daughter-in-law didn't ask her to go away anymore.
Xiuniang said she wanted to go out to sunbathe and Cuihua quickly followed her.
Jiuyue said that that thing would happen in these two days, so Cuihua must be particularly careful.
They planned to sunbathe at the doorstep, but a few aunties in the neighborhood asked them to go to the village entrance together.
It was difficult for Cuihua to refuse such kindness, but she became more and more uneasy.
When the two arrived at the village entrance and they learned that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, someone offered her a stone to sit on.
Xiuniang was a little bashful, so she asked Cuihua to sit on that.
Cuihua pressed her on the stone, "My baby girl, just sit down in peace. I'm not too old to stand!"
Cuihua originally thought Xiuniang would be safe to sit, but a few teenagers beside her had been frolicking and roughhousing.
They were distracted for a while and one of the little boys rushed over headlong.
Cuihua had been paying attention to his daughter-in-law's side. As soon as she saw what happened, she almost subconsciously stepped forward to shield Xiuniang from him.
The little boy ran headlong into her stomach. In that instant, she had a blackout and was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
( Author noted: Lingyi thought, "What kind of heroes would tell me out after a slightest disagreement?" Xiyuan thought, "I am begging you, hate me now! Which part of me do you like? I'll change it. You are going to make my wife so angry that she would leave!")
