YM778.TV Chapter 80
Chapter 80
Like those brainless and naive novels he had read online in his previous life, the protagonist Xiao Fan was the master of the overseas Asura Hall.
However, this guy returned to China three years ago and entered the Zhou family in the imperial city, becoming Zhou Lingxi’s live-in son-in-law…
For three years, Xiao Fan served diligently in the Zhou family, assuming the role of a house husband. However, nobody in the Zhou family, including Zhou Lingxi herself, held him in high regard. They thought Xiao Fan was utterly useless.
A grown man not pursuing his own career, just staying at home cooking every day, so he was constantly scolded and humiliated. Xiao Fan never even touched Zhou Lingxi’s finger in these three years…
However, Xiao Fan wasn’t angry about this; instead, he found joy in it, believing he would one day win Zhou Lingxi’s heart with love…
He kept his identity secret, thinking that if he revealed it, Zhou Lingxi might feel unworthy of him, so he continued to hide it.
Xiao Fan stayed in the Zhou family, enduring labor and humiliation for three years, and never interfered in any matters of the Asura Hall.
The reason why Xiao Fan married into the Zhou family was that seven years ago, when he was nearly starving to death on the roadside, Zhou Lingxi happened to pass by and gave him a steamed bun, saving his life.
So, after returning to the country, he found Zhou Lingxi’s grandfather and arranged their marriage.
At that time, old Master Zhou was about to die, and Zhou Lingxi agreed to the marriage to not sadden her grandfather.
Why Zhou Lingxi didn’t tell her sisters about this may be because she felt ashamed? After all, a formidable innate expert marrying a useless man?
“Really brainless…” Jiang Che commented disdainfully. If Xiao Fan had revealed his identity earlier, perhaps he and Zhou Lingxi would have had children by now.
The story begins in Linjiang City, where Zhou Lingxi came to treat Shen Qingqiu but refused to return home, so Xiao Fan followed her. He then helped Zhou Lingxi solve various troubles, eventually winning her favor.
“In three days, Xiao Fan should arrive.” Jiang Che pondered in his mind and returned to the front yard.
…
Upstairs, in Jiang Che’s room.
Ji Menglan was tied to a chair by Jiang Che. For so many days, except when bathing, she was always bound, which completely broke her down.
Seeing Jiang Che enter, Ji Menglan’s eyes flashed with fear, and she reflexively cried out. “Daddy~”
“Ah…” Jiang Che laughed. After so many days of relentless treatment, Ji Menglan’s androphobia had almost completely healed.
“Miss Ji, it seems your condition has fully improved. You can go now.” Jiang Che said, loosening Ji Menglan’s bonds and unsealing her cultivation, thinking that she had been tamed and would no longer trouble him.
“Are you serious?” Ji Menglan stood up from the chair, retreating a few steps, wary of Jiang Che. She couldn’t believe he would be so kind.
“Of course, it’s true. But if you don’t want to leave, I don’t mind treating you for a few more days.” Jiang Che smiled and even took out some medical equipment from the system space, shaking it.
Ji Menglan turned pale with fear and immediately jumped out of the window, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
…
Elsewhere, in Jiang Yun’er’s room at the Jiang family. Zhou Lingxi took the empty medicine bowl from Jiang Yun’er and placed it on the table.
“Junior sister, tell me honestly, do you like Jiang Che?” Zhou Lingxi’s eyes sparkled mischievously as she teasingly asked Jiang Yun’er.
“Sister… What are you talking about… Jiang Che is our senior sister’s fiancé, how could I possibly like him?” Zhou Lingxi’s question instantly made Jiang Yun’er’s face turn red, and she stammered in response.
Zhou Lingxi rolled her eyes, knowing well that Jiang Yun’er had fallen for Jiang Che. “I’m not senior sister; you don’t need to hide it from me.” Zhou Lingxi playfully scolded her and pinched Jiang Yun’er’s waist.
“Sister, you’re so naughty~” Jiang Yun’er immediately protested, pouting at Zhou Lingxi.
“Alright, let’s be serious. Do you really like Jiang Che?” Zhou Lingxi asked seriously.
…
Under the building of Lin Corporation, Ji Menglan took a taxi to this place. After leaving Jiang Che’s place, Ji Menglan headed straight here.
After all, Jiang Che is Shen Qingqiu’s fiancé. It would be somewhat inappropriate for her to go and complain to him, and she couldn’t lower her pride to talk about being treated by Jiang Che.
What about that bastard Ye Chen! Didn’t he say Jiang Che only had the cultivation of the initial stage of Innate?
During her days at Crouching Dragon Villa, although she didn’t figure out Jiang Che’s exact level, she felt that he was at least in the later stage of Innate!
“Next time I see you, I must give you a good thrashing!” Ji Menglan muttered resentfully to herself. She went to help Ye Chen take revenge, only to be played by that bastard!
…
“President, someone wants to see you. She claims to be your junior sister, named Ji Menglan.” Inside the CEO’s office, the secretary approached Lin Xiyan and reported.
“Why has she come? Let her in.” Lin Xiyan raised her head in wonder.
Since the incident with the Beauty Pill, she had been extremely busy every day, often working overtime until the early hours and developing heavy dark circles under her eyes.
Soon, the secretary brought Ji Menglan in and then closed the door and left.
“You’re here…” A smile appeared on Lin Xiyan’s face. She made a cup of hot tea for Ji Menglan and took a few sips herself, enjoying the rare leisure time.
“Sister, what are you busy with?” Ji Menglan curiously asked Lin Xiyan, knowing how busy these CEOs are every day.
“Don’t mention it… it makes me angry just thinking about it!” Lin Xiyan frowned, her expression full of displeasure and agitation.
“Did something happen?” Ji Menglan asked curiously, not understanding why Lin Xiyan would have such an expression.
“It’s all because of that bastard Ye Chen!” Lin Xiyan gritted her teeth in anger, telling Ji Menglan about how Ye Chen had switched and faked their Lin Corporation’s Beauty Pills.
“He shouldn’t be that kind of person…” Hearing Lin Xiyan’s words, Ji Menglan frowned deeply. In her memory, Ye Chen wasn’t like that.
“You haven’t seen him for three years; it’s not surprising he’s changed!” Lin Xiyan sighed.
Although it was hard to understand Ye Chen’s series of actions, the facts were right in front of her.
“Where is he now?” Ji Menglan asked doubtfully, not believing her sister would let it go so easily after such an incident.
“He’s already dead…” Lin Xiyan spoke calmly, having been informed of the events at the Jiang family by Shen Qingqiu. In her view, it was well done!
Ye Chen had ruined her company like that, and Lin Xiyan wished for nothing more than his death, but she couldn’t act against him due to his status as her junior sister’s brother. Otherwise, it would have been hard to explain to their master.
“Dead?” Ji Menglan was stunned. How could someone suddenly die like that? The last time she saw Ye Chen at the Yijia Hotel, he was injured but didn’t seem like he was about to die.
“That’s right, he tried to do something unspeakable to Junior Sister Yun’er and was killed by Jiang Che…” Lin Xiyan briefly recounted what she had heard.
“Never thought he would end up like this.” Ji Menglan scoffed coldly, feeling no sorrow. She now understood why Ye Chen sent her to the Jiang family. That bastard was just trying to use her to kill someone!
Luckily, Jiang Che’s cultivation was higher than hers, preventing a major disaster. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to explain it to her senior sister.
She also knew Ye Chen had different thoughts about her senior sister. It seemed his extremism was due to love turning into hatred. Thinking back to his excuses at the Yijia Hotel, it was all to deceive her.
“He died well, that bastard dared to trick me. If he hadn’t died, I would have crippled him myself!” After chatting with Lin Xiyan for a while longer, Ji Menglan got up and left.
She planned to visit her other senior sisters, as she had missed them during the three years they hadn’t met.
As for being forcibly treated by Jiang Che, she planned to seek revenge after her cultivation broke through. Otherwise, going there now would be in vain.
