Chapter 192: Not Giving Me Face
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
w.a.n.g Yizhi couldn’t help but feel jealous of Su Bin, who had married such a capable wife. Initially, he had perceived her as unintelligent and overweight, but now she had transformed into a slimmer and more attractive woman. What made her even more remarkable was that she was the successor of the prestigious Jiang Family in the capital. She possessed exceptional culinary and medical skills, and she had a keen ability to make money.
Su Bin, once arrogant and full of himself, had fallen for her after being ignored for a while. Despite his past behavior, she treated him like a treasure and harbored no grudges. As a result, Su Bin’s life was continuously improving, while w.a.n.g Yizhi’s life seemed to be heading downhill.
w.a.n.g Yizhi couldn’t help but resent the apparent injustice of fate. He believed that he was just as good-looking as Su Bin, and while he might have been slightly less talented, he couldn’t understand why he wasn’t as fortunate as Su Bin.
Initially, he had intended to walk past them without acknowledging them, but he recalled what his partner at home, whom he unkindly referred to as the “ugly woman,” had said. So, he decided to greet them instead.
“Brother Su Bin, congratulations on your success,” w.a.n.g Yizhi offered.
Su Bin glanced at w.a.n.g Yizhi with disdain and decided to ignore him completely. He didn’t even bother responding, feeling extremely unlucky to have encountered him at that moment.
w.a.n.g Yizhi, however, persisted, “Don’t be like this. Your sister and I are divorced peacefully, but I am still Xiaoyu’s father, and we are going to be in each other’s lives. I don’t see a reason for our families to become enemies.” Su Bin retorted coldly, “Good dogs don’t block the way, got it?”
The nearby scholars all turned their attention to the unfolding scene with curiosity.
w.a.n.g Yizhi’s face flushed repeatedly with embarra.s.sment. He had to step aside but couldn’t resist turning to Qin Zhenzhen.
“Third Sister-in-law…”
“Stop it! We are not related anymore, and I am not your Third Sister-in-law!” Qin Zhenzhen cut him off mercilessly.
Su Bin couldn’t help but chuckle. “Darling, don’t pay any attention to a mad dog like him. Let’s just ignore him.”
He attempted to lead Qin Zhenzhen away from the awkward situation.
However, Su Bin’s remark didn’t go unnoticed, and many people heard it.
w.a.n.g Yizhi wished he could disappear into a hole in the ground out of shame.
Nevertheless, he mustered the courage to persist with his mission. “Miss Qin, I heard that you have excellent medical skills. My wife would like you to take a look at her, and we can discuss payment.”
Qin Zhenzhen was intrigued. “What’s wrong with your wife? You just got
divorced, and you already have a new bride?”
“Did they start seeing each other before the divorce?”
“You knew what to do, huh!”
“We asked too little compensation!”
As the situation became more interesting, more and more scholars gathered around, eager to witness the unfolding drama.
Those who were aware of Su Bin and w.a.n.g Yizhi’s relationship and the incident began to exchange hushed whispers with their friends.
As the scholars learned about the situation, they started looking at w.a.n.g Yizhi with disdain.
At that moment, w.a.n.g Yizhi finally realized how foolish he had been. He shouldn’t have brought up this matter at such an inappropriate time. However, he couldn’t entirely blame himself.
It was his ugly wife who insisted on having Qin Zhenzhen come and see her after learning about her status as the successor of the Jiang Family in the capital and her reputation for curing the governor’s mother. She believed that Qin Zhenzhen would have a solution to her inability to conceive, despite being with him for so long.
w.a.n.g Yizhi later discovered that his wife had not only been with one man, but she had never been able to conceive despite seeking private consultations with several doctors and trying various medications.
Feeling anxious, she believed it was her own fault and desperately sought out a skilled physician. Hence, she forced w.a.n.g Yizhi to find Qin Zhenzhen.
However, w.a.n.g Yizhi failed to locate her initially. He heard rumors that Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin had purchased a house in the prefecture, but he had no idea where they currently resided. When they unexpectedly encountered each other today, he saw it as an opportunity not to be missed.
Unfortunately, w.a.n.g Yizhi had not antic.i.p.ated that both Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen would be so ruthless and unsympathetic towards him in the
situation..
