- Chapter 15 - The Cheating Ex-Husband Went Bankrupt 1
Father Lin: “Speak up. When did this start?”
Mother Lin was nearly fainting because of what Lin Ming had done. She wanted the two children to get along well, but not for Lin Ming to do something like this.
“I liked men even before I came back. I like Brother,” Lin Ming said, his gaze open and candid.
“You like him, but you cannot keep a person locked up like that. Xiao Wang doesn’t like you, does he? Reflect on your actions at home these few days. Without Xiao Wang’s forgiveness, you are not allowed to go anywhere. If Xiao Wang locked you up like that, would you be happy?” Father Lin was fuming with rage.
Lin Ming: “Happy. Of course, I would be happy.”
“Get upstairs,” Father Lin did not want to see him anymore.
Mother Lin also held Ji Wang’s hand, hoping he could forgive Lin Ming. Ji Qiuchi had not originally intended to do anything to Lin Ming anyway.
However, until he went upstairs, Lin Ming’s gaze, staring straight at him, still put a lot of pressure on Ji Qiuchi. It was as if he was saying: You won’t be able to escape in this lifetime.
With the help of Father and Mother Lin, Ji Qiuchi naturally did whatever he wanted. It was just that Lin Ming was always hovering before his eyes, claiming it was an apology in the name of beauty.
But Ji Qiuchi clearly saw the increasing happiness on Lin Ming’s face. He sighed: “System, let’s go see Zhao Lingyun today.”
The System nodded. He was going out, and Lin Ming naturally noticed it too. He saw Lin Ming pretend not to care as he spoke: “Where are you going? To see Zhao Lingyun?”
Ji Qiuchi did not speak. Instead, Mother Lin interjected: “Why do you care what Xiao Wang is going to do? Have you reflected properly these past few days or not?”
Lin Ming was choked into silence, but he looked at Ji Qiuchi unwillingly. Ji Qiuchi raised an eyebrow and curled the corners of his mouth: “I’m leaving, Mom.”
Once he left, Lin Ming finally spoke: “I want to go out too.”
“Silly child, what are you going for now? Do you want to make Xiao Wang unhappy again?”
Mother Lin had also thought about it for seven whole days and was finally persuaded by Lin Ming. Xiao Wang was a child raised in their own home; they knew his background thoroughly. If he could be with Lin Ming, it would indeed be a good thing.
But her foolish son had done such a thing. Even if Ji Wang had called the police, there would have been no problem.
“Besides, Zhao Lingyun won’t be out for eight or ten years. They won’t have a future. You should do fewer things that make people unhappy and instead learn how to pursue someone normally.”
Lin Ming fell silent. He wanted to retort, but the matters between them could not be explained in just a few words. He knew Ji Qiuchi too well; he was a rabbit that would disappear the moment you let go. He had found him with great difficulty.
However, Mother Lin was not wrong. Zhao Lingyun indeed had no way to compete with him anymore. This point alone made all his long-term preparations worthwhile.
On this side, Ji Qiuchi saw Zhao Lingyun again. When Zhao Lingyun saw him, his face was full of anger and grievance, and even carried some accusation: “Why didn’t you come?
Xiao Wang, have you been playing me all along? Is it because I treated you that way before, so you are taking revenge on me?”
“Brother Lingyun, I didn’t come because I was locked up. By the time I got out, things were already a settled matter,” Ji Qiuchi said. “But it doesn’t matter. I will wait for you forever. After all, I have liked you since I was a child.”
Zhao Lingyun was comforted. Yes, so what if Lin Ming won? Ji Wang still liked him; he was even willing to wait for him to come out.
However, locked up? Locked up by whom?
“Is it that fellow Lin Ming? Did he do it?”
the trace of joy that had just risen in Zhao Lingyun was replaced by fury. He had already completely regarded Ji Qiuchi as his own possession. His eyes were bloodshot. “You… did you two… are you…”
Ji Qiuchi put on an appearance of being so heartbroken he didn’t dare to remember, and added: “Mom and Dad have already disciplined him. Rest assured, Brother Lingyun.”
Zhao Lingyun’s eyes were red with anger, yet he looked at Ji Qiuchi and said softly: “Wait for me to come out. At that time, we will get married. With your design ability, our company will surely be better than the Lin family and the Zhao family. Wait for me, okay?”
Even now, this person actually wanted to act as if nothing had happened.
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Ji Qiuchi’s mouth, and the pain and hatred suppressed by the original host’s emotions seemed to explode at this moment.
Zhao Lingyun was talking to himself but did not expect Ji Qiuchi to suddenly fall silent. He did not receive an answer from the other party.
“Xiao Wang?”
When he looked over, Ji Qiuchi sighed. The smile had completely vanished from his face.
“Brother Lingyun no, Zhao Lingyun. You don’t know that every time I call your name, I feel disgusted.
Originally, this was the last time I was going to see you, and I intended to lie to you. But thinking about it, lying isn’t very good, so I’ll just tell you: I won’t wait for you.
You are just a useful tool to me. Moreover, whether you can get out or not is still uncertain. Hehe.”
After all, the other person’s uncle was not a kind soul either; he would surely “take care” of him well later.
“Xiao Wang? What are you saying? What are you talking about? You’re lying. You’re just throwing a tantrum with me. No, no, no, you aren’t Ji Wang.”
Zhao Lingyun’s emotions were already on the verge of collapse, until now when Ji Qiuchi exposed his true face.
“I have never liked you, and I have zero interest in you. Idiot.” He stood up elegantly, leaving Zhao Lingyun with only his back.
“Ji Wang?! Ji Wang! I don’t believe it! You love me so much, how is it possible? How is it possible! Ji Wang!”
Regardless of how the person behind him went mad, was dragged back by the prison guards, or shouted his name, Ji Qiuchi did not look back even once.
It was too cruel to give someone hope and then ruthlessly crush it.
System 520 finally seemed to find its voice and spoke: “Personal mission completed. Main mission completed. Does the host wish to leave the mission world?”
“No rush. How many more days can I stay here?” Ji Qiuchi inquired.
“One day. The host has a one-day buffer period,” the System said.
“Good. I’ll make some preparations first, and then I’ll just go abroad,” Ji Qiuchi said.
System: “This? Why?”
“Even if this world might be sealed later, the people existing now, their experiences and emotions, are all real. Just create an ‘accident’ to send me off.
The time has come. If I really die of illness at home, everyone will be even more pained. A short pain is better than a long one,” Ji Qiuchi said.
The System nodded; that made sense.
Meanwhile, Lin Ming had been waiting at home for Ji Qiuchi to return. Until evening, he had not come back. He finally couldn’t help but ask 001, only to learn that the other party was abroad.
“Abroad? Why?”
Lin Ming’s heart suddenly pounded rapidly. Immediately after, his phone rang.
“Hello, is this the family of Ji Wang? We are very sorry to inform you…”
After hanging up the phone, the void in Lin Ming’s eyes was terrifyingly hollow. He covered his eyes and laughed somewhat frenziedly: “You left, yet you didn’t even say goodbye to me?”
Mother Lin hurriedly pushed open the main door, and seeing Lin Ming at this moment, her eyes also turned red: “Xiao Ming! Something happened to Xiao Wang.”
Lin Ming looked at her. At this moment, his face had returned to normal. Words rolled on the tip of his tongue but were swallowed back into his stomach.
“It’s okay, Mama. We will meet again. He can’t escape.”
Long ago in that room, he had merged his soul into his Chi Chi.
My dear Chi Chi, you really can run.
“Lin Ming” returned the borrowed body to the original owner and, at the moment Ji Qiuchi left this world, also threw himself into the next world. Between them, it could never truly end.
Within the System space, Ji Qiuchi gazed at the vast and boundless universe. Finally, he spoke: “Little Zero, are the points enough? Give me an emotion-erasing prop. It’s affecting my performance in the next world.”
The host, whose mood had been poor since returning from the small world, was probably truly moved emotionally. But there was no choice; one was a mortal in a regular world, and the other was an employee of the Space-Time Bureau.
520, a romance system, was also feeling incredibly miserable. It was a sweet romance system, dammit! It was all the Chief God’s fault. “Alright, Host. Do we want to rest or go directly to the next world?”
“Let’s go directly to the next world.”
Ji Qiuchi was prepared in his heart.
The second world would not be an easy one either. Sure enough, the one he had to deal with was another scumbag.
Standing at the door listening to the “erotic scenes” inside, Ji Qiuchi didn’t even want to open the door. The System had already transmitted the mission into his mind.
“The original host and his husband both graduated from the Computer Science department of A University and got married naturally after graduation.
But after marriage, the mission target, Zhao Chengyu, stated that the original host didn’t need to work hard and that he could support the original host. The original host was also foolish, obediently abandoning a state-owned enterprise offer to be a stay-at-home husband, helping to take care of and manage his life.
The original host gave everything for the family. As a result, the scumbag later revealed his true colors. Not only did he cheat with a company colleague, but he even brought them home. After being discovered once and forgiven, it happened a second time, a third time…
Finally, the ‘Green Tea’ colleague successfully took the position. The original host had nothing. These three years had completely disconnected him from society. He was afraid to go out to work. Zhao Chengyu was his whole world. So after being divorced, he couldn’t take it and jumped off a building to his death.
After the Space-Time Bureau took over the original host’s soul filled with monstrous resentment, the original host hoped we could drive away the ‘Third Party.’ He wanted to win back Zhao Chengyu, saying that Zhao Chengyu used to be very good to him.”
Ji Qiuchi looked up: “Can I speak directly to the original host next time? I feel like it becoming this way isn’t just a problem with the Third Party. There is no point in winning back a scumbag like Zhao Chengyu. If it were me, I would choose to let them die together.”
System: “Exactly, exactly! What’s the use of winning back a scumbag? A scumbag is like that by nature. Would he become good just because the Third Party is gone? Even if this one is gone, there’s still a ‘Fourth Party’ or a ‘Fifth Party’!”
Unfortunately, a mission is a mission. He still had to do it. This time there was no choice; the original host had only one wish.
Ji Qiuchi carried the vegetables and opened the room door. These two were actually doing it right in the living room. He calmly took out his phone and snapped a photo.
Only then did he walk in. Upon seeing Ji Qiuchi, Cui Miao was startled, but Zhao Chengyu just glanced at him and then pretended as if nothing was wrong while comforting Cui Miao.
“It’s fine. Your Sister-in-law is back from buying groceries. Later, let him cook for us.”
Ji Qiuchi: “……”
System: Whoa, I’m so angry! Can I slap him? Boohoo, I forgot I’m round and have no hands.
It didn’t matter; he would do the slapping. Ji Qiuchi strode over and slapped Zhao Chengyu across the face with one hand, then slapped Cui Miao across the face with the other.
Slap!
Zhao Chengyu was already stunned when the always-gentle Ji Qiuchi slapped him. Being hit in front of Cui Miao made his anger soar: “Ji Ning! You dare hit me?”
Cui Miao also covered his face, and tears fell instantly.
“What’s wrong with hitting you? Zhao Chengyu, I’m also going to divorce you,” Ji Qiuchi said coldly.
“You eat mine, you wear mine. All these years, where have I mistreated you? Every time I want you, you refuse. Do you think I value you that much? Someone like you is bad luck to look at. And divorce? Without me, are you going back to that orphanage of yours? Don’t forget, this house was bought by me,” Zhao Chengyu sneered.
Ji Qiuchi gave a cold laugh: “I would rather sleep on the street than stay with garbage like you. Since you despise me so much, then let’s go. The Civil Affairs Bureau is still open. Whoever doesn’t divorce is a dog.”
Zhao Chengyu was blinded by rage. He immediately took his documents and walked out: “Fine. Seeking me out later will be useless.”
However, after he came out and was blown by the wind, he sobered up quite a bit. He looked at Ji Qiuchi hesitantly.
Cui Miao also followed him with a teary-eyed look: “Brother Chengyu, is Sister-in-law really angry? Why don’t we try to persuade him again?”
“No need. Divorce. We’re divorcing today.” Zhao Chengyu looked at Cui Miao’s red and swollen face and felt a pang of heartache.
Although Ji Qiuchi wanted a divorce, he didn’t intend to let the scumbag off easy. He wouldn’t take a cent less of the money he was due, and since the other party was the at-fault side, he was not polite at all.
Thud! The seal was pressed, and the two walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
“Don’t come looking for me in the future. I won’t give you a single cent,” Zhao Chengyu snorted coldly.
Ji Qiuchi looked at him as if looking at a stupid dog, turned around and left to find a house to rent. He also called people to clear away everything that belonged to him from the house.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Cui Miao spoke silently: “Brother Chengyu, then what about us?”
Zhao Chengyu thought he would be very happy having gotten a divorce, but now there was an inexplicable irritability: “We’ll see later.”
Cui Miao also knew he was in a bad mood and was especially understanding. But he believed that since they were divorced, it was only a matter of time before he took the position.
