Wooing my Bodyguard Wife

Chapter 225 A Bad Man & A Shitty Husband

"You are disgusting," Jingwei boomed out, glaring furiously at Poh Jin Lian even as every cell in his body shook with a protective rage. He suddenly can't stand the thought of Xue Ning staying in this town any longer, where she was subjected to the attentions of pervy balding old men.

"I can't believe you're making excuses for your husband being a paedophile!"

Everyone fell silent at his words. Jingwei had brought up a very good point.

"I never said that!" Poh Jin Lian cried out, finally realising the severity of his accusations. "You're putting words in my mouth!"

"''Even as a teenager'. You said those words, and everyone here heard them with their own ears. Your husband was lusting for a literal teenager, after he lusted for her mother! How can you still defend him? Are you a paedophile too?"

"That's not what I meant! It's her fault - she was the one - "

"Just for that, I'll personally make sure all of you get sent to prison! Disgusting vermin - none of you deserve to live!" Jingwei declared hotly. He didn't need to ask Tianwei for help - he just needed to make a quick call to Officer Tang, and he'd make sure none of them saw the light of day.

"I didn't - "

"Shut up woman! Haven't you done enough! You and your big mouth will kill us both!" Mayor Poh screamed at his wife. Now he was doomed. His wife had made his preference for young beautiful girls known to everyone!

Forget re-election, how was he going to even stay out of jail?

Yue Niang scoffed. "The both of you can go for marital counselling in prison. But don't scold your wife too badly, Mayor Poh. She got one thing right - I definitely wouldn't be here if not for circumstances beyond my control. But you're forgetting one important detail - I was here before you even arrived!"

"But now I'll still be here even when you leave… in one piece or otherwise," Yue Niang continued ominously, loving how Poh Jin Lian was shaking under her hold.

"Is it just me, or is Mom looking particularly bloodthirsty? Do you think it's PMS? Not that it's not cool, but man I'm glad she's our mom and not our enemy." Tai Xuan said to his sister. "And why didn't you tell me about him creeping around you? We could have done something!"

"There wasn't anything to tell. He just liked to stare and he didn't dare to approach after I threatened to stab him with the scissors. Freaking creepy though." Xue Ning shuddered, recalling the memory of his greedy eyes on her body. Because of him, she had always dressed conservatively in baggy T-shirts and long pants when she had to go out, just in case she bumped into him!

"The nerve… and then he still dared to claim you were an insane delinquent!" Tai Xuan hissed, intensely upset.

"He did what?" Jingwei chimed in, sounding if possible, even more upset than Jingwei. He had moved back to check on Xue Ning, and to give Mrs Li the space she needed to destroy her enemies. He wasn't a kill-stealer, but now he was this close to becoming a killer after hearing Xue Ning's words!

"Why are you eavesdropping on a private conversation with my sister?" Tai Xuan demanded.

"What part of it was private? I was standing here the whole time! And it's not as though you were keeping it a secret!" Jingwei protested. "Besides, I might get arrested soon, so do you want me to destroy that man for you? I might as well do something good before that."

"Please, like they'd dare to arrest you after what that man said." Xue Ning scoffed.

"Well," Tai Xuan coughed. "If you can make them beg for forgiveness and then throw them into prison, I'll consider being nicer to you, since you aren't dating my sister!"

Jingwei and Xue Ning pointedly did not meet each other's eyes at his words. Instead Jingwei only gave Tai Xuan an affronted look.

"Excuse me? I'm already doing my best here - but your mother seems to have everything under control! How can I interrupt her meal of revenge?"

"Yeah Ge," Xue Ning added. "What if Mom decides to rip into Jingwei instead?"

Tai Xuan rolled his eyes. "Fine, be that way, the both of you. Let's talk about happier things - like your boyfriend! Meimei, I am surprised at your taste in men. Tell me more about him."

He jabbed a finger at Wei Yan who blinked in surprise. Meanwhile Jingwei scowled at the ground. Thankfully, Tai Xuan was too focused on his sister to see it.

"Er… his name is Wei Yan. He is Jingwei's bodyguard."

"And?" Her brother prodded. "That's all? Not even his age? His family? Whether he has any pets? Favourite colour? Number of exes?"

Xue Ning paused. She didn't know how old Wei Yan was. She only knew how old Jingwei was! And of course she didn't know all the other information!

"That's not important," she said instead, shrugging.

Tai Xuan frowned; he certainly disagreed! But before he could continue to interrogate Xue Ning, Jingwei once again had all but stormed away to her mother's side so he could glare at Mayor Poh.

He didn't want to listen to Xue Ning talk about this fake boyfriend of hers! She should be talking about him to her brother!

"Are you arresting me or not? My time is exceedingly precious, and I refuse to waste a second more than necessary on your adulterous, pedophilic, self!" Jingwei demanded haughtily, sounding every inch the arrogant entitled rich kid the tabloids painted him as.

"Of course not!" Mayor Poh frantically assured him. "We would never! My wife was truly in the wrong, please be magnanimous and forgive her this once… she is very shallow, petty and dim, and I have scolded her many times -"

Jingwei shot him an even bigger look of disgust. "What a great husband you are - first you lusted over a married woman a decade ago, and then ganged up with your wife to make her life hell after she rejected you, and then you lust over that woman's teenage daughter, and now you are throwing your wife under the bus to save your own skin! Truly a scumbag!"
