My New Bride Plays Dumb and Bullies People Again

When Xia Ke was born, she was labeled a fool and abandoned in the countryside to fend for herself. After she grew up, her family unexpectedly brought her back, only to quickly marry her off to the supposedly mentally unstable Jiang Chuanyao, the young master of the Jiang family! After marriage, Xia Ke rolled up her sleeves, planning to establish dominance over her newlywed crazy husband so he'd fear her. Jiang Chuanyao, on the other hand, wore a cold expression, intending to set rules for his silly bride to keep her away from him. But then... Xia Ke:"You're not crazy?!" Jiang Chuanyao: "You're not foolish?!" Both exclaimed simultaneously. In the next moment, Xia Ke and Jiang Chuanyao reached an unspoken understanding: one pretended to be a fool to tease the other while the other fiercely protected her. Someone came to Jiang Chuanyao to complain, saying that Xia Ke was pretending to be foolish, while in reality, she was very capable and might have some schemes after marrying into the Jiang family. Jiang Chuanyao retorted, ""Don't talk nonsense. My wife is both foolish and innocent. If you slander her again, I'll get angry."" Xia Ke secretly gave Jiang Chuanyao a thumbs up. Later, when Xia Ke became pregnant, she touched her growing belly and discussed with Jiang Chuanyao, "What should we name a child born to a fool and a lunatic? Foolish Lunatic?"

Call Him

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Qing was furious. She pointed at the manager's nose and scolded angrily, "Didn't I say it just now? All of this is on President Jiang's account! Apologize to me immediately and chase Xia Ke out! Otherwise, I'll get President Jiang to teach you a lesson!"

"I've already called Jiang Corporation, and they denied this matter." The manager looked at Xia Qing in disdain. "Why don't you call them yourself and ask?"

Hearing this, the socialites were stunned.

"So be it!" Xia Qing glared at the manager, then immediately called Jiang Chuanyao's phone number. She wanted him to fire this manager!

Xia Qing took out her phone, only to remember that she didn't have Jiang Chuanyao's private phone number. She could only call the front desk of Jiang Corporation. She put it on speaker so that the manager could hear it clearly.

After a while, the call went through.

Xia Qing took two deep breaths and said sweetly, "I'm Xia Qing. Help me get President Jiang to answer the call. He asked me to buy clothes, but the manager of the clothing store here denied me."

"Miss Xia, you've misunderstood. President Jiang asked you to pick out some clothes for him, not buy them for yourself. Is there anything else?" The receptionist's cold voice clearly entered everyone's ears.

Xia Qing was stunned on the spot, her mind buzzing. What did she mean? Wasn't Jiang Chuanyao buying clothes for her? The socialites were also stunned. Then, they came back to their senses and started asking.

"Xia Qing, so President Jiang isn't buying clothes for you but asked you to help him choose clothes so he could give them to another woman?"

"Ah, to think that I postponed my afternoon tea and ran over to accompany you!"

"Xia Qing, President Jiang doesn't take you seriously. Aren't you wasting our time by calling us over without figuring out the details first?"

The harmonious atmosphere from before instantly disappeared. The socialites changed from their previous flattery and started talking sarcastically. They were all called over by Xia Qing, who said that she wanted to give them clothes. They spent an entire afternoon trying on clothes and said all kinds of praises to Xia Qing, but in the end, it was all for nothing!

"Xia Qing, did you hear that clearly?" Xia Ke asked with a smile.

Xia Qing couldn't care less about Xia Ke anymore. She begged the receptionist, "Give me President Jiang's phone number. I'll call him personally."

The receptionist of Jiang Corporation said, "President Jiang's phone number can't be given out to outsiders." With that, she hung up.

Xia Qing froze on the spot, her face pale. Only then did she remember that Jiang Chuanyao had told her in the morning that he wanted her to help pick out a few clothes. She had truly misunderstood. However, she had already told others about it and even called her best friends over to buy a lot of clothes. If no one paid the bill, how could she survive in the industry in the future?

Xia Ke walked over and waved her phone at Xia Qing. "How is it? Do you want me to call President Jiang for you?" With that, she pressed Jiang Chuanyao's phone number.

Zhao Qiqi was feeling vexed. When she heard this, she immediately vented her anger on Xia Ke. "You're a fool. How could you have President Jiang's phone number?" Before she could finish speaking, she heard a low male voice coming from Xia Ke's phone. "What's the matter?" This voice was very pleasant to the ears, but there was a hint of coldness in it.

In an instant, the surrounding people fell silent and looked at Xia Ke in shock.

Zhao Qiqi's mouth fell open in shock. This… This was really Jiang Chuanyao's voice! This was the first time she had heard President Jiang's voice so close apart from watching his interviews!

The shop assistants were also nervous. They had actually made a mistake just now and thought that Xia Qing was the Miss Xia they were supposed to serve. They did not expect it to be Xia Ke, this fool!

Shrugging, Xia Ke said into the phone, "It's nothing. It's just that Xia Qing bought a lot of clothes. She asked me to call you so that you'd come and pay the bill."

Xia Qing reacted and hurriedly pounced over. "President Jiang, I…"

Jiang Chuanyao hung up.

Xia Ke secretly rolled her eyes. He sure had a bad temper!

Although Jiang Chuanyao didn't say anything, his attitude of hanging up had already shown everything. This time, Xia Qing couldn't do anything anymore. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it! She had lost all her reputation today!

Xia Ke held back her laughter and pretended to be stupid. "Should I call President Jiang again?"

Xia Qing gritted her teeth and glared at Xia Ke. "Why do you have Jiang Chuanyao's private phone number?!" She couldn't even get his phone number, but this fool had it!
