The Self-Redemption of the Wronged Fool [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 6

Damn it, that was no excuse for him to do such a thing.

Rather than reflecting on himself, he preferred to blame others. He had traveled through so many worlds before without making a mistake, so the one in the wrong certainly wasn’t him it had to be Lin Ming.

However, the next day, Lin Ming acted as if nothing had happened.

“Brother, you’re awake? I made you a sandwich and some mango yogurt.”

“You entered my room again without my permission.” Ji Qiuchi felt pain all over his body the moment he saw him, and he gave him a fierce glare.

Lin Ming smiled sheepishly.

“You picked the lock to get in,” Ji Qiuchi said.

“Actually, I could also come in from the balcony side, but it’s a bit dangerous,” Lin Ming nodded.

What could Ji Qiuchi say? Good for you?

Helplessly, he walked over to the dining table; the food was innocent.

Lin Ming also moved a stool to sit opposite him and accompanied him while he ate. However, he kept watching him while eating, and that gaze put immense pressure on Ji Qiuchi.

Ji Qiuchi suddenly recalled that when they went to the restaurant before, this guy also had an expression as if he were eating something delicious. He finally spoke up: “I think there might be some misunderstanding regarding your feelings for me…”

“Brother, you don’t still like Zhao Lingyun, do you?” Lin Ming interrupted him, his eyes instantly turning gloomy.

Who likes that guy? What does this have to do with Zhao Lingyun? The reason he wanted to dispel the other’s thoughts was that he was a time-space worker, while Lin Ming was just a character in this world; there was no possibility for them.

Furthermore, he knew clearly that if he truly developed feelings for people in these worlds, he would be playing right into the hands of the Lord God.

Once the mission ended, he would leave this world, and this world would be sealed for restoration, only opening again after all the resentment had vanished.

Ji Qiuchi could not explain, so he simply said: “It’s impossible between us, and our parents certainly wouldn’t agree.”

Lin Ming gave him a faint look: “I understand.”

Did he really understand? Ji Qiuchi looked at him hesitantly. However, the other man didn’t do anything else afterward, and under repeated warnings, he did not enter the room again.

Ji Qiuchi ignored it for the time being; instead, the date for the meal with Zhao Lingyun was getting closer and closer.

In a place unknown to him, Wen Jing had already begun talking with Ji Wang’s mother.

Ji Qiuchi had never visited the original host’s mother, and while Lin Ming came often, he only came to mock her. Only Wen Jing brought news of Ji Wang, and it took almost no time at all to make her understand Ji Wang’s current situation.

“Since Lin Ming returned, Ji Wang’s life hasn’t been easy. I am his friend and don’t wish to see such things happen, but I don’t know if there is any way to help.”

Of course, this was a lie fabricated by Wen Jing. He came this time for another purpose. To deal with Ji Wang, the Zhao family was no longer an option; he had to start from within the Lin family.

A trace of hatred appeared on Mother Ji’s face: “I thought it wouldn’t be exposed. It’s all the fault of that beast, Lin Ming. I treated him well with good food and drink, yet he sent me in here.”

“Xiao Wang was supposed to become the heir of the Lin Group, but now, Lin Ming basically calls the shots in the Lin family.”

Wen Jing spoke with a look of regret, “He could be so cold-hearted toward a mother who raised him for twenty years; he will certainly take any opportunity to deal with Xiao Wang.”

“Can you let him come see me? I just want to see Xiao Wang. I only used to watch him secretly before and never spoke to him.”

The woman lunged forward suddenly but was struck by a police baton as a signal for her to be quiet.

“Of course, there is no problem. Xiao Wang would surely be very happy to come see you. But did you really not meet him before? Not a single word?”

A calculating glint flashed in Wen Jing’s eyes. “You miss him so much, yet you didn’t inform him of your identity?”

“I didn’t. I didn’t dare to expose it. My appearance would be a burden to him. It’s just that when I worked at the Lin family, I could see him frequently, and I was very satisfied with that.”

A woman who had committed every kind of evil actually showed a loving expression at this moment. It was somewhat distorted, but in reality, she had no heart; she was thinking that after her son took the top position, they would acknowledge each other so she could obtain all the assets of the Lin family.

Wen Jing felt somewhat irritable. Why did everyone like Ji Wang? The Lin family was like this, and even this woman was the same. He originally wanted to find evidence of a connection between them, but now it seemed this woman was indeed cautious enough.

Time was almost up, and Wen Jing immediately spoke: “Do you have any other words for me to take out? Besides wanting him to see you, his situation is currently unfavorable, and it’s very likely he will be alone later. If he can contact you, it will surely give him some comfort.”

The woman’s mental state was actually collapsing. “I… I actually wrote some letters. I’ve always wanted to give them to him; they contain the things I want to say to him. Tell him not to be afraid. The people of the Lin family are actually kind-hearted; they raised him for so many years, and they will keep supporting him in the future.”

Wen Jing gnashed his teeth, knowing he couldn’t ask anything else, and finally chose to leave. He had originally wanted to check if she was colluding with Ji Wang, but now there were only those letters—yet those letters were enough.

He found the place Ji Lan mentioned and located the letters. Not only were there letters, but there were also some diaries; Ji Lan had hidden these things before the matter was exposed.

She knew exactly what she was doing. She resented the Lin family for causing her husband’s tragic death and placed all that hatred onto Lin Ming.

However, Father Ji’s death in the car accident could not actually be blamed on them. The Lin family had helped handle the funeral arrangements, secured compensation for them, and even the drunk driver who caused it was sent to prison.

He mailed the letters concerning Lin Ming and Ji Wang to Mother Lin; of course, he also sent another portion to Lin Ming.

Wanting to live peacefully and happily? Dream on. If his own life was not going well, Ji Wang shouldn’t expect a good end either.

However, the items did not fall into Mother Lin’s hands; instead, they ended up with Father Lin, who eventually called Mother Lin over.

Looking at these things, Mother Lin was almost in tears. “I didn’t realize that Xiao Ming’s childhood was so difficult. That damned woman, she’s the one who separated us for twenty years, and she even made me raise her son.”

“Hui, that woman has already received her punishment. The key is the source of these letters. I know you’ve been investigating the past recently. But that child Ji Wang should be unaware; he must be feeling terrible in his heart as well. Besides, he didn’t touch a single cent of the money I sent him before and transferred it all back.”

Father Lin hugged his wife. “He still teamed up with Xiao Ming to participate in the competition, didn’t he? They did very well, and their relationship might be better than we think.”

Mother Lin bit her lower lip. She indeed could not let it go easily, but Ji Wang was indeed raised by them since childhood and they hadn’t met for a long time; he had been at school and hadn’t shown up to start taking over company affairs as he should have.

She closed her eyes. She also believed the child she raised was a good one, and she finally had the private investigator stop the search.

But at this moment, she looked at Father Lin and asked: “Where did these things come from?”

“Although I didn’t find the source, I discovered that Wen Jing went to see Ji Lan a few days ago,” Father Lin said in a deep voice.

Mother Lin had not forgotten what the other party had done at the GI Design Competition. Putting Ji Wang aside for a moment, that was Lin Ming’s first serious design.

She wiped her tears dry, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and turned back into that intellectual and powerful matriarch of the Lin family: “Since the Wen family doesn’t know how to discipline their son, we shall do it for them. And the Zhao family they used to be close to our family, yet they hung around with that person from the Wen family. Zhao Lingyun is no good either.”

“Cooperation with the Zhao family has been completely halted. Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone bully my family.”

Zhao Lingyun was indeed very anxious. If the matter with Lin Ming wasn’t handled well, he wouldn’t be able to give his family an explanation.

Therefore, he was desperate to get on good terms with Lin Ming. As for Ji Wang, he had been able to control him since they were young, and even now, he felt that coaxing Ji Wang would be enough.

On the day of the scheduled meal, he made elaborate arrangements, including activities after the meal and how to send Ji Wang away to achieve his goal. He was determined to make a good impression on Lin Ming this time.

Finally, he looked toward Lin Ming: “I’m going out to eat.”

Lin Ming’s eyes flickered slightly: “Is it to meet Zhao Lingyun?”

He grabbed Ji Qiuchi’s hand and moved his body closer: “Brother, how about I cook for you tonight?”

Ji Qiuchi turned his head away and pushed against the other’s approaching body: “No, stay away from me.”

“Alright then.” Lin Ming looked full of grievance and silently went to the bathroom.

But in a place where Ji Qiuchi couldn’t see, his expression turned unpleasant, and he immediately made a phone call, seemingly to a person in charge at a company.

In less than a minute, Ji Qiuchi’s phone rang. A message from Zhao Lingyun appeared on his phone, saying something had come up and suggesting they meet next time.

Ji Qiuchi frowned. Is he playing with me?

When Lin Ming came out, he saw Ji Qiuchi’s expression, and his heart immediately sank. Does Chi Chi really like Zhao Lingyun that much?

Never mind meeting next time; if it weren’t for the mission, Ji Qiuchi wouldn’t want to see him at all. He looked at Lin Ming, who was watching him with an awkward expression: “Ahem, let’s just eat at home today.”

A bright smile appeared in the depths of Lin Ming’s eyes: “Okay!”

“By the way, Brother, why don’t you come to the company with me from now on? Although the Tiangong Design Competition doesn’t allow collaborations or teams anymore, you will still participate in the competition, right? If both our brothers’ works win prizes, I believe Mom and Dad will be very happy,” Lin Ming said.

Heh, so you do know I’m your brother.

Ji Qiuchi rolled his eyes. However, focusing on his career was much more interesting than wasting time with Zhao Lingyun; this was his domain.

He looked up at Lin Ming with scrutiny in his eyes: “Are you that confident you can snatch the victory from the hands of other designers?”

Lin Ming’s tone was full of trust: “I don’t have confidence in myself, but I believe you will help me, Brother. The Tiangong Design Competition is the ceiling-level event in the domestic jewelry industry; we will surely encounter many excellent designers.”

Good taste. Ji Qiuchi looked up and spoke proudly: “Of course. I will definitely win the Tiangong Design Competition.”

Just like that, before he realized it, he had been lured into joining the company.

He really was a sucker for that kind of talk.

When Ji Qiuchi appeared at the company, everyone’s attitude toward him was the same as before. In fact, after Lin Ming returned, Ji Qiuchi was only a figurehead; with his pride, he disdained taking Lin Ming’s things.

System: “Host, Zhao Lingyun sent another text asking for a meal.”

Ji Qiuchi didn’t even look up: “Help me reject him. He’s so annoying. I have things to do now and no time to deal with him.”

Recently, the business of Wen Jing’s family encountered major problems. Others clearly stated that they had offended someone, and no one was willing to do business with them anymore.

Wen Jing was scolded and even grounded, forced to stay at home. But how could he be reconciled to this? This was absolutely done by the Lin family.

But before long, he discovered that the Lin family had made no moves against Ji Wang. In fact, Ji Wang had been staying at Lin Jewelry recently.

Hearing that they were even preparing for the Tiangong Design Competition made him feel even more hatred, shaking with rage.

The other party was unscathed and still living a perfect life, while he didn’t even have the qualification to participate anymore.

He finally understood that this path was completely unworkable; the Lin family stood entirely on Ji Wang’s side. The hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the grip.

He had to use another method. He thought of another person—someone who sought revenge for the smallest grievance, someone cruel and ruthless without a shred of moral baseline. A flash of madness crossed his eyes as he contacted that person.
