Chapter 2077: Everything Encountered is Retribution

Jiang Mobai said, "You are also a woman; standing from a woman's perspective, you would think I am a real jerk, and then fiercely criticize me!"

"Heh, I didn't expect you to have such self-awareness."

"So, you are still angry?"

It was not anger, but relief.

But Su Kexuan did not say that, only smiling as she said, "If you want me to be angry, then I'll be angry."

Jiang Mobai did not like this answer.

He felt that Su Kexuan was just brushing him off.

But even knowing that Su Kexuan was brushing him off, he could do nothing about her.

Inside the car, it became quiet once again.

Su Kexuan felt this silence was a bit hard to bear, so she turned on the car's audio system.

As luck would have it, it played a sweet, romantic love song.

At the end of the song, a wedding march was even inserted.

It was truly sweet through and through.

However, it also made the two of them increasingly awkward.

Su Kexuan endured it, waiting until the song ended.

As a result, Jiang Mobai asked a question that made her even more awkward: "In the future, what kind of person do you want to marry?"

Su Kexuan's hand gripping the steering wheel tightened slightly, then she said, "It's hard to predict, but when that person appears, I will have a feeling."

"What kind of feeling?"

"I already said it's impossible to predict."

"So, everything is possible, then."

This sentence was something Jiang Mobai said to himself.

He seemed to have gained courage from this sentence, and even opened his mouth to ask Su Kexuan, "Then when you see me, what is the feeling?"

Su Kexuan did not answer immediately.

She glanced at Jiang Mobai in the rearview mirror, then said, "A very jerky feeling."

This evaluation... was truly direct.

It also made it impossible for Jiang Mobai to deceive himself.

He hid his feeling of disappointment tightly away.

Then, pretending nothing was wrong, he said, "Your judgment is very accurate; if you run into someone like me in the future, remember to stay far away."

"Rest assured, I will."

Jiang Mobai wanted to say something more.

But the car had already arrived at the Hospital.

While in the car, because he had kept one posture, the pain was not that intense.

But moving from the car to the wheelchair inevitably required moving his limbs.

With this movement, Jiang Mobai's face turned pale again.

It hurt so much that his teeth were chattering.

After the doctor's examination, the bones that had just healed a little had cracked again.

And the process of resetting them was very agonizing.

But Jiang Mobai did not let out a single sound.

Even the doctor was praising his astonishing willpower.

But in reality, Jiang Mobai's willpower was not that strong.

He simply did not want his screams to be heard by Su Kexuan.

Today, he had already been embarrassing enough.

He absolutely could not add another embarrassing incident.

However...

When Jiang Mobai came out, he discovered that Su Kexuan had left after dropping him off at the Hospital.

So Jiang Mobai's toughness was all for nothing.

Sigh!

Jiang Mobai gave a light sigh, his complexion not looking very good.

Moreover, he did not really want to talk.

But Jiang Motian had something to say to him.

Jiang Motian was seen with her arms crossed, asking somewhat anxiously, "On the way here, did you seize the opportunity to explain things to Kexuan?"

"Explain what?"

"You were spouting nonsense!"

"I was not spouting nonsense."

Jiang Mobai answered with complete seriousness.

He felt that his younger sister must have gotten something wrong.

As a result, Jiang Motian directly gave an example: "Right in front of Kexuan, you said something about not liking to eat old grass, and then said something about how new people bring new feelings."

After giving the example, Jiang Motian posed a question: "What do you think Kexuan would think after hearing those things?"

Jiang Mobai had already begun to sense that something was wrong.

He swallowed his saliva before asking, "What would she think?"

"She thinks you were implying something about her."

Im-implying something about her!?

That's not it at all!!

Jiang Mobai opened his mouth to speak.

But he looked as if he had been struck by lightning.

The kind that hits you with five bolts of thunder, at that.

Seeing his dazed and foolish expression, Jiang Motian swallowed the retort she had been about to make.

In the end, she just asked helplessly: "I warned you at the time, how did you not sense it?"

"I, I don't know either. At the time, I just wanted that woman to leave quickly..."

"Now it's not just that woman who has left; Kexuan will also keep her distance from you."

Keep her distance...

Jiang Mobai looked a bit blank.

Then he realized something and muttered in a dejected state: "No wonder she was so indifferent to me when I spoke to her in the car."

"So, you didn't say anything reckless in the car, did you?"

"No, I just took the opportunity to test how Su Kexuan views me."

"And the answer?"

"... She said I'm a total scumbag."

Hearing this evaluation, even Jiang Motian had to praise it: the assessment was spot on.

Because Jiang Mobai really is a scumbag!

And the fact that he has ended up in this state is entirely his own doing!

The scumbag Jiang Mobai was still asking: "What should I do?"

"There's nothing to do. Since it's come to this, just give up."

Give up?

Why did Jiang Mobai feel... a little unwilling?

Besides, if it were so easy to give up, Jiang Mobai would have let go of Su Kexuan long ago.

How could he have changed so much after their reunion?

Jiang Mobai lowered his head, feeling a stifling ache in his chest.

Seeing him so dejected, Jiang Motian said: "You were quite decisive when you broke up with that girl named... Xiao Ai."

"Because I hadn't poured any feelings into it, so it didn't hurt when it ended."

"But she had poured her feelings into it."

"That was her own choice."

After Jiang Mobai finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the situation he was facing was so similar to that girl's.

It's just that one was a case of meeting the wrong person, while the other is a case of reaping what one has sown.

Jiang Mobai gave a bitter smile, then muttered to himself: "So, what I'm going through now is also retribution."

Jiang Motian felt this made sense.

But they were biological siblings after all; complaints aside, seeing Jiang Mobai so listless, she still felt a pang of sympathy.

Jiang Motian sighed helplessly, then took the dejected Jiang Mobai home.

In the days that followed, Jiang Mobai didn't dare to run around anymore.

For one, it was inconvenient.

Secondly, Jiang Mobai was worried that another ex-girlfriend would suddenly pop up and deal him a blow.

Life went on in this plain and simple way.

Until this day, when Jiang Mobai received a call from Wang Zi.

He asked excitedly: "Brother Mobai, are you feeling a bit better?"

"Mm, I'm alright."

"Then come to the victory banquet! It's being held specifically for you!"

The victory banquet should have been held long ago, but it was postponed until now due to Jiang Mobai's physical condition.

Jiang Mobai had no interest in such events and refused: "Forget it, you guys have a good time."

"That won't do! This was prepared specifically for you; if you don't come, there's no point in holding it! Oh right, the media will be there, and, um, our sponsor will be there too."

So what if the sponsor is there?

Jiang Mobai subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But then he thought about it...

The sponsor...

Isn't that Su Kexuan!?
