Chapter 139: Can’t You Straighten Up Your Act?
“You’re despicable, Li Shaoling!” Ji Weixi’s face turned bright red as she punched him, albeit gently.
He was only too happy to hug her. “I’m your man no matter how despicable I am.”
Nonsense! Hmph!
The car was pungent with the scent of love.
Suddenly, someone knocked on it.
Thud-thud-thud!
Ji Weixi froze and looked up to find an old woman pasting her face on the car window and trying her best to peek inside.
Woah!
Ji Weixi slid into Li Shaoling’s arms by instinct, while he pulled a long face while he rolled down the window.
However, before he could get a word in, the old woman had thrown a flyer inside.
The two of them were speechless: printed on the flyer was a seedy sort of commercial…
***
The gambling den in Ocean City was a three-storied building.
At first, Li Shaoling was reluctant to bring Ji Weixi with him since there were many men inside and he did not want them to ogle her, but she insisted on following, even making a look that said ‘I-will-cry-if-you-don’t-let-me-follow’.
Helpless, he took her hand. “Don’t leave my side when we’re in there. Understand?”
Ji Weixi nodded. “Got it.”
Still, before they entered, they already spot Jian Jie nearby, wrestling away with a pudgy woman.
Jian Jie was skinny, short and a little pale. She simply couldn’t hold her own against the hardy woman.
A slim man was standing beside them. Standing around one point seven three meters tall, his looks were not stunning but had its merits, his facial features even carrying a hint of femininity.
He had yellow-brownish hair, with a thick fringe that covered his forehead.
He watched as the two women wrestled away, approaching them from time to time to attempt stopping them, only to meekly withdraw afterwards.
That has to be Lin Kai.
Meanwhile, Jian Jie slammed into the wall from a shove by the hardy woman. Biting her lip in pain, she yelled, “Lin Kai, are you really leaving me?!”
Lin Kai tugged at his sleeves and leveled a fearful look at the hardy woman, before gingerly saying, “Xiao… Xiao Jie, I don’t love you anymore. Let’s break up.”
Jian Jie sneered as she pointed her finger at the hardy woman. “So? Are you telling me you fell in love with this ogre?!”
The hardy woman promptly pulled her hair and slapped her. “Kai Kai loves my beautiful soul! What are you compared to me?!”
Jian Jie’s ears were ringing from the slap. Unable to hold it in, her tears started to roll.
“Lin Kai! We’ve been together for four years and I gave you everything I have! What about you!? I never even received a rose! How much money have I given you? Don’t you know what that means to me? And you’re actually telling me that you would rather be with this woman now and don’t want to be with me anymore! Did you feed your conscience to the dogs?!”
Lin Kai looked troubled at that, seemingly moved by her words.
However, the hardy woman also started yelling, putting her hands on her hips. “Lin Kai! Don’t you forget who can give you what you want! You can get anything you dream of as long as you’re with me—this little b.i.t.c.h has nothing. You’ll only suffer with her!”
Wow. So he is every bit the manwh.o.r.e he is, making a living off women.
And a useless, effeminate scoundrel at that.
On the other hand, the hardy woman was dressed poshly.
She must be rich.
And right after she spoke, Lin Kai immediately turned to Jian Jie and begged. “Xiao Jie, let me go, I beg you! The last four years haven’t been kind to me, and you never loved me even if you kept saying it! I never felt your love, so spare me! Let me be with Fang, okay?!”
That hardy woman’s name was Fang…
What a unique name.
Jian Jie’s tears were overflowing even as she glared at Lin Kai, but she suddenly smiled. “Can you say that in good conscience? Not that you have one, Lin Kai! Is it enough that I gave you everything?! I finally see you for what you are now: a white-eyed wolf that would never be satisfied! Ingrate!”
Meanwhile, Ji Weixi really could not continue watching it.
That was the first time she saw the other woman being so full of herself, not to mention that she was fat, ugly and br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence.
She must have become bloated with Courage from listening to too much Fish Leong.
And now, upon hearing the insult against Lin Kai, Fang had raised her hand, ready for another slap.
However, another hand caught her firmly.
She glared at Ji Weixi. “Who are you?!”
Jian Jie, shrinking in fear was stunned when she saw Ji Weixi. “Miss Ji?”
Ji Wei flung off Fang’s hand and sneered. “The other women these days… so shameless.”
Fang, a.s.suming that Ji Weixi was going to Jian Jie when she realized that they knew each other, rolled up her sleeves and approached her. “So what if I’m the other woman?” She growled conceitedly. “Who are you to mind my business? Run along while I’m still having a good mood!”
Ji Weixi smiled coldly in return. “I’m sorry, but I’m going to handle this.”
“You want to die!” Fang’s face turned vicious, wheeling at Ji Weixi when she was caught firmly by a strong hand once again.
‘That little b.i.t.c.h has a lot of help,’ Fang thought then.
She turned, ready to unleash a tirade of curses but was left frozen in that very moment.
Li Shaoling’s face was impa.s.sive; his gaze as cold as ice.
His exceedingly handsome face, coupled with his natural n.o.ble air lifted his head and shoulders above the crowd.
Fang was dumbstruck from staring alone—her eyes were almost popping up.
That man was so ridiculously good looking he would bend straight men.
Jian Jie looked as if she had found salvation. “President Li!”
Li Shaoling turned to her in disdain and mocked her flatly. “You really deserved that.”
Ashamed, Jian Jie bit her lip and lowered her head.
Ji Weixi moved to Li Shaoling’s side in quick, small steps. It’s very comforting having his protection.
“Come with us. You have to take responsibility for what you’ve done.” She then said, eyeing Jian Jie.
Hanging her head, Jian Jie walked to her side, although she also glanced at Lin Kai before she left, seemingly still unwilling to leave.
“Xiao Jie!” He suddenly called out her name urgently.
She quickly turned, looking at him hopefully and believing that he was going to take her back in regret.
“The house rent… has expired, I’m giving back the keys.”
He forked out a bunch of keys and handed it to Jian Jie, whose tears poured down.
She bawled, gasping for breath in between and devastated.
Ji Weixi quickly took the keys and threw them into a nearby trash can and dragged Jian Jie along, forcing her to leave.
At another corner, Fang’s eyes had never left Li Shaoling after he arrived.
She then turned to look at Lin Kai beside her.
He would never even be that good looking even with plastic surgery.
She was suddenly a little regretful.
Meanwhile, Li Shaoling received a call the instant he sat down.
“President Li, you haven’t given me a response regarding Xiaoman’s incident. Aren’t you being too—”
Li Shaoling hung up before the caller could finish.
“Who was it?” Ji Weixi asked.
“Wrong number.
“Oh…”
At the same time, Jian Jie was still crying. Her eyes were red and swollen miserably.
Unbearably annoyed, Ji Weixi slammed her hand on the table. “Can’t you stop crying!? It’s just a man. Can’t you straighten up your act?”
