After Rebirth, Mrs. He Dotes On Her Husband

322 You’re Looking Down On Us

“I’m fine.” Chen Wei’er was significantly aware of the current situation. She could only wait for a safe period to share her thoughts with her husband.

He Xun immediately understood what his wife meant. It was not a good time to talk. He patted the back of her hand to give her a sense of security. “I’m here. Don’t worry.”

“Yes.” Chen Wei’er nodded her head in confusion. She looked at the woman wearing a white shirt and the short-haired woman. She wondered if she could have a chance to talk to them. However, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she would definitely attract attention, so Chen Wei’er could only suppress her thoughts. She pretended to admire the osmanthus and glanced at the forest beside her.

Because there were no street lights, the forest not far away was dark, and Chen Wei’er could not see the bodyguards. She hoped that they were all nearby. By being close, she and He Xun would have more confidence.

!!

He Xun patted his shoulder again as if he could see her worry. He smiled and said again, “I am here.”

Immediately, Chen Wei’er felt at ease. She looked at He Xun gratefully and nodded. It was good that they were both together. This way, she would have the courage to face the villagers. She couldn’t drag He Xun down, so she had to cheer herself up. bender

“What are you guys talking about? Who is around?” The sharp Wang Hwa noticed the abnormality in their conversation and took the initiative to ask. After all, they had done this kind of thing numerous times, so it wasn’t like they didn’t have their guard up.

“I assured my wife that I’m with her. She has always been afraid of the dark. There are no street lights in the village, so we can only rely on the lights from the surrounding houses. She can’t see from far away, so she’s even more afraid. Please forgive her.” He Xun smiled faintly.

“One look and I can tell you’re from the city. So delicate! What is there to be afraid of? There’s still moonlight. How is it dark?” Wang Hua waved her hand disdainfully. The corners of her mouth twitched. She grabbed a cup of tea from the table and drank it without caring whose cup it was, let alone whether it was clean or not.

Seeing this, Chen Wei’er frowned. She really couldn’t stand such a rude person.

At this moment, the banquet officially began.

Old Li, the village chief, knocked on the table and raised his glass.

“Everyone, be quiet and listen to me! Today, we have two distinguished guests in our village. The school in Anning is sponsored by them! They are great philanthropists! Especially when our mountain road is so difficult to walk on. The two honored guests have come from far away to our Osmanthus Village, so we should have a drink, right?”

“Ha! He! Ha!” The people below were shouting.

Old Li’s eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled. He looked at He Xun, who was beside him. “Brother, have a drink. How can a man not drink some wine?”

He Xun glanced at Old Li and shook his head slightly. “I really don’t drink. Besides, my wife and I are preparing for a pregnancy, so there’s a stronger reason for me not to drink!”

Old Li seemed to have heard something incredulous. He widened his eyes and looked at He Xun. “Isn’t your wife the one who’s going to give birth to the child you want? Why should a man quit drinking when it’s the woman who will give birth?”

Chen Wei’er clenched her fist and didn’t say anything. There was really nothing much to say to this kind of person. If you talked to him about science, he would reply nonsense.

“I don’t drink.” He Xun coldly glanced at him. This time, his refusal was concise and clear. Because He Xun had been in power for many years, he had a domineering aura that could not be ignored.

When Old Li met with his cold gaze, the village chief was stunned.

Not only the village chief but the few people standing beside him were also frightened by He Xun’s gaze. This gaze…

It was really something they shouldn’t mess with.

The few men even retreated. At that moment, they had goosebumps on their backs. However, after that second of unconsciousness, they realized that they were in their territory.

Since when was it He Xun’s turn to behave atrociously? Didn’t these two care about giving their faces?

A strong-looking middle-aged man was unhappy. He slammed the table and said, “What’s wrong? Do you look down on the brothers in our village? Do you want to humiliate us? I’m telling you! You have to drink this wine today whether you want to or not!”

“Is this how you treat your guests in your Osmanthus Village?” He Xun sneered. His fingers were lightly tapping on the table. His tone was full of disdain.

“I’m not drinking this wine. What do you want?”

The strong man was about to explode upon hearing the response, but he was stopped by Old Li.

“Isn’t it just a glass of wine? It’s not a big deal. If you don’t want to drink, then don’t drink. There’s no need to hurt our friendship because of a glass of wine! You’re all benefactors!”

Old Li mediated the heated situation. When he mentioned benefactors, he even emphasized it. Then, he glared fiercely at the strong man!
