Chapter 299: Chapter 299
"I’ve already gotten justice for myself. Everything Lin Jiayi prepared for me, I’ve returned to her in full, and made sure everyone knows about it. I guess from now on, when people see her, they won’t think ’Goddess’ anymore, but rather... hehehe..."
Wan Chu’er smiled maliciously, feeling this punishment was harsh enough for someone like Lin Jiayi who cherished her own reputation so much.
Jiang Kechu couldn’t help but grab her hand again; his girl was so kindhearted.
"Lin Jiayi and Zhu Er are getting married next month," Jiang Kechu thought for a moment and then told Wan Chu’er.
As expected, Wan Chu’er was shocked and said in disbelief, "What? For real? Would Lin Jiayi agree? Would Lin Jiayi’s mom agree?"
Lin Jiayi was someone with high self-esteem, and Jiang Lirong also had high hopes for her.
Zhu Er was by no means a desirable match—clearly a playboy. If Lin Jiayi really married Zhu Er, she would probably be disgusted to death.
And now, Lin Jiayi really is disgusted to death!
Since hearing about her marriage news with Zhu Er, she has been making a fuss at home every day, either fasting or protesting. Unfortunately, her dad had made up his mind, determined to marry her off to Zhu Er.
Initially, Jiang Lirong was protective of her and strongly opposed the marriage, but later on, Jiang Lirong changed her mind and listlessly started preparing for the wedding.
Lin Jiayi attempted suicide by cutting her wrists, but sadly, nothing changed even after being saved.
She then went to Shen Qian—after all, this whole mess started because of Shen Qian. Yet, Shen Qian said, "Anyway, you and Zhu Er have already been together, isn’t marriage the logical next step?"
In the end, Lin Jiayi despaired. Unfortunately, after having faced death once, she never dared to die again; facing death was too terrifying.
Let’s not dwell on how heartbroken and hopeless Lin Jiayi felt and return to Wan Chu’er and Jiang Kechu.
In her previous life, although Lin Jiayi didn’t marry well, her last marriage partner was a foreigner, who was the CEO of a multinational company in Huaxia and supposedly from some Western noble family.
Wan Chu’er remembered how Lin Jiayi used to boast about being a noble after her marriage, always acting so aristocratic, which seems so ridiculous now.
Even funnier was that, in her previous life, she secretly envied Lin Jiayi.
Jiang Kechu calmly yet affirmatively said, "Lin Jiayi will agree. For her, Zhu Er is the best choice."
Wan Chu’er’s eyes whirled around as she smiled at Jiang Kechu, "Come on, tell me, what have you done?"
She was sure this whole thing had something to do with Jiang Kechu.
Jiang Kechu smirked and said, "Lin Jiayi’s dad embezzled some money, and I just happened to find out. If Lin Jiayi doesn’t marry, her dad will go to jail, so she definitely has to marry."
Wan Chu’er immediately looked at Jiang Kechu with starry eyes, thinking his profile looked incredibly handsome.
She suddenly leaned in and kissed Jiang Kechu hard on the mouth, "Uncle Jiang, how can you be so scheming? Hehe... but I love it!"
Jiang Kechu chuckled and shook his head, saying, "As long as you like it."
Being affirmed by his beloved girl, Jiang Kechu felt everything he did was entirely justified.
Wan Chu’er bit her lip, her eyes shining, but in her mind, she imagined Lin Jiayi’s current frantic state. It felt incredibly satisfying!
After a while, she asked again, "If Lin Jiayi does not marry, do you really plan to send Mr. Lin to jail?"
Jiang Kechu’s eyes looked into the distance and he snorted, "After Lin Jiayi gets married, Mr. Lin will be transferred to a poor and remote grassroots level for further training. If he still manages to embezzle from the poor, he will go to jail."
In other words, this demotion was a chance for Mr. Lin to correct his ways.
Soon, the car arrived at the old mansion.
"Uncle Jiang, come in, I’m the only one living here, and someone comes to clean weekly," Wan Chu’er pulled Jiang Kechu into the old mansion.
The old mansion was large, the main house had eight rooms, and there were four rooms each in the east and west wings, and in the back of the courtyard there were a kitchen, storerooms, etc.
Wan Chu’er felt like a fish in water here, the place was spacious enough for any activity, she could exercise or read books - there was a whole room filled with them, and there was also a strict security system.
When Wan Chu’er was free, she used this security system as a target for practice and even patched it up a couple of times.
Jiang Kechu glanced around and felt relieved; this place could not be safer - after all, Old Sir Zhong’s life was all about dealing with security.
The first thing Wan Chu’er did when she got home was to go to her room to look for her phone, which Xiao Bai bought for her. However, since buying it, she had also started her seclusion, so the phone was basically just a decoration.
Sure enough, the phone had already run out of battery and turned off.
She directly removed the phone’s back cover and inserted the SIM card into the new phone Jiang Kechu gave her.
After making a meal for her at the old mansion, Jiang Kechu left.
Over the next few days, Jiang Kechu would come by around mealtime, either bringing take-out for Wan Chu’er or cooking for her.
After having dinner with her and cleaning up, he left quite disciplinedly.
Once, holding a rib, Wan Chu’er laughed and said, "Uncle Jiang, are you into pig-feeding business? I’ve gained three pounds this week since you’ve been back."
Jiang Kechu calmly said, "It’s good to be a bit fatter, feels comfortable to touch." After saying that, he added another piece of meat to her bowl.
Wan Chu’er pouted and hummed twice. Was he implying that she wasn’t comfortable to touch now? So, she converted her sadness into strength and bit fiercely into the rib.
Two more days passed, and with only a week left until the New Year, Li Shan drove the old master to visit her.
The old master scrutinized her and nodded, saying, "Hmm, you’ve gained weight, looks like that Jiang lad is quite skilled."
Wan Chu’er: "..." She felt completely dumbfounded.
But then Li Shan murmured quietly, "An overweight person’s agility might decrease."
Wan Chu’er looked skyward before unexpectedly kicking towards Li Shan and reached to grab his neck.
Li Shan smirked coldly and dodged immediately, and the two tangled together.
After a few rounds, Li Shan’s expression became solemn.
After a while, Old Sir Zhong called out, "Alright." Li Shan immediately stepped back, moving out of Wan Chu’er’s reach, and she too stopped her motions.
Old Sir Zhong said, "Not bad, time well spent."
Wan Chu’er proudly said, "Jiang Kechu is a much better master than Li Shan."
Li Shan scowled and turned to sit in the corner silently.
Old Sir Zhong asked Wan Chu’er to sit down, then said, "Tomorrow, I’d like to take a trip to Wutong to see your grandmother and your mother."
