She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 224: Chapter 227 I Don’t Trust You Chapter 224: Chapter 227 I Don’t Trust You Xu Qigang nodded.

“Well, I got it!” Shen Luhua averted her gaze and coughed before saying, “Although our old man has no objection to this marriage arrangement, I still have a couple of things to say.” She observed that Xu Qigang was faultless in all aspects. Combined with Zhao Lanzi’s stance, there really seemed to be no better choice than the Xu family.

“Wife, what else do you want to say?” Sheng Laosan became anxious, fearing that a good son-in-law would be scared away by her words.

Shen Luhua gave him a glance, “Old man, why don’t you go check if the rice in the pot is done?”

“This…” Sheng Laosan, with his honest and simple nature, normally never had to lift a finger for cooking at home, but since Luhua rarely asked for his help, he was sure to offer it.

“Alright, I’ll go check,” he said, getting up quickly, wishing to return immediately.

Xu Qigang silently watched, realizing that, just like at his father’s, his future father-in-law also did whatever his wife asked.

He pursed his thin lips, thinking about a future scene of Ningning directing him to cook in the kitchen, and couldn’t help but shiver.

He had no clue how to cook!

Should he learn some cooking skills when he returned to the War Wolf Rescue Team?

As soon as Sheng Laosan left, Shen Luhua gestured for Sheng An to come over, “An’an, come here.”

Upon realizing she was being summoned, Sheng An no longer needed to hide and sneak peeks from behind the door and eagerly jumped out. She sneakily took a measurement of Xu Qigang as she passed by.

She was quite satisfied with this brother-in-law.

“Go check on your father, ask him to make another dish,” Shen Luhua said, obviously sending her away, preparing to have a one-on-one talk with Xu Qigang.

Sheng An might seem carefree, but she wasn’t dimwitted; in fact, she was quite shrewd. She immediately understood the situation, nodded, and headed off to find someone.

Xu Qigang, with much sharper perception, saw through the arrangement and already got the hint. He also couldn’t help but regard Shen Luhua with newfound respect.

Luckily, she didn’t have any ill intentions or else Ningning’s days would have been even more difficult.

The hall was nearly empty, and the previous image of Shen Luhua as a simple rural woman had undergone some subtle changes that would’ve been imperceptible if one hadn’t been paying attention.

Xu Qigang narrowed his eyes slightly, keenly noting something out of the ordinary.

“It seems you don’t just know our daughter; you must be very familiar with her,” Shen Luhua said sharply, hands on her knees.

Xu Qigang, who had been somewhat nervous upon meeting his parents-in-law, quickly regained his composure. His cold demeanor became more pronounced, his entire presence like an unsheathed legendary sword.

Shen Luhua felt concerned in her heart. Xu Qigang proved even more inscrutable than the rumors suggested, and such a man would surely catch the attention of countless leaders. No doubt, many young heiresses would want to marry him.

Now Ningning was young and beautiful, naturally catching men’s gaze. But what about in the future when Ningning ages? What if those heiresses surpass her?

As someone who had been through it all, she couldn’t help but consider more for Ningning.

“I don’t trust you completely,” Shen Luhua stated bluntly.

“Auntie,” Xu Qigang replied with a wry smile, “You can see how Xu men treat their wives by looking at my father. It’s a tradition in the Xu family: no matter how much of a rascal before marriage, after marrying, we are utterly devoted.”

This was indeed true. Xu Xianxiong and Xu Yingshan, before marriage, were so notorious that young ladies and little wives would be as terrified of them as mice are of cats.

If he verbally took advantage of you, there truly would be no justification to seek. Anyone who dared to confront them would be beaten to a point where even their own parents couldn’t recognize them.
