Chapter 699: Child, I've Had an Abortion; Are You Selling the House or Not?

"Self" went to the hospital with a bloody head for Suturing.

After returning home, finding the house empty, there was not a single person there.

The wife was not home, presumably having returned to her parents' house with her father and mother; "theoretically" speaking, this should be cold violence because she was angry with "self."

"Self" stood stunned for a long time, staring blankly at the reflection in the Endoscope, wearing a hairnet.

However, Ji Xiang estimated that this sort of thing was not happening for the first time; "self" must have experienced it many times, so after hesitating for a long time, "self" did not go to persuade the woman to return.

With only one month left, "self" likely wanted to use a stalling tactic.

The next day, everything was as usual, the sun rose, and "self" went to work.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, "self" received a call; it was the woman, and her voice sounded a bit strange.

"Ji Xiang, I've had an abortion; this time you can't say it's for the sake of the child."

"Self" was completely bewildered. The child was aborted?! What did this mean?

Even Ji Xiang, who was experiencing Empathy from the perspective of an onlooker, was bewildered. What the hell did this mean!

"Linlin, what did you say?"

"I've had an abortion; I just came out of the operating room." The woman's voice was somewhat weary. "Now, I'll ask you one more time: are you selling the house or not?"

"……"

"Self" was completely stunned.

Ji Xiang felt a pain rise from his heart; Ji Xiang even suspected it was a Myocardial Infarction.

"Ji Xiang, you are such a piece of trash! If you won't sell the house, then let's get a divorce. I want half the house, and I want half the assets! You can just live your life holding onto the remaining half of the house, you piece of trash."

Although the woman on the other end of the phone had just undergone an abortion, she was very fluent in her cursing.

"Beep, beep, beep~"

A dial tone then came from the phone.

By the time "self" called back, the woman's phone was already turned off.

Calling the father-in-law and mother-in-law, their mobile phones were also turned off.

"Self" had gone crazy; without even asking for leave, "self" went directly to the father-in-law's house to find the wife.

Knocking on the door, wailing bitterly, "self" even knelt down; only then did the door open.

The mother-in-law looked down at "self" with a condescending expression.

When "self" saw the wife, saw her lying on the bed, her face pale and her belly flat, "self" felt like a mourner, utterly dejected.

The mother-in-law was lecturing "self," but "self" couldn't hear a word; the ears were filled with buzzing noise.

The child.

Just like that, it was gone!

All so the Brother-in-law could get married, so the Brother-in-law could have a child!

These thoughts flashed through the mind repeatedly; "self" seemed like a fool.

Ji Xiang also hadn't expected that a "younger-brother-obsessed sister" would really dare to do anything, and could do anything; not only was she ruthless toward her husband, she was just as ruthless toward herself and her own child!

He recalled that patient with the blood-covered face; he figured he had thought wrong. He was still young and didn't know the coldness of this society.

That person probably wasn't a patient with a Mental Illness, but had encountered something.

But what exactly it was, Ji Xiang still didn't know.

And since the injury had already been sustained, were there still details to worry about regarding the Suturing?

Ji Xiang looked at everything before him and suddenly remembered one thing—about 5% of people in society have antisocial personality disorder.

Did the woman he saw count? Ji Xiang didn't know.

He watched quietly as "self" left, leaving amidst the sounds of the woman and mother-in-law clamoring for a divorce.

That night, "self" got dead drunk.

After waking up early the next day, "self" didn't go to work, but calmed down, took leave, and then went to a law firm to find a very famous divorce lawyer.

To divide the assets.

Actually, there wasn't much to divide at home; the main thing was to ensure that "self" could get back the pre-marital assets.

"Self" was already disheartened and didn't want to continue maintaining this marriage.

After a few days, having sorted all this out, the long divorce petition period began.

The attitude of "self" was very firm, the exact opposite of the submissive "simp" appearance from before.

During this time, "self" had one conversation with the mother-in-law and father-in-law.

As soon as it started, the mother-in-law began to say nice things, about how Linlin was a good woman who cared for the family, and how such women were hard to find nowadays, with the streets full of "green tea" bitches.

Seeing that "self" didn't speak, the mother-in-law then said that all these years they had looked at "self" as a son, and as for the Brother-in-law...

It was truly hard to put into words.

In short, endless sugar-coated bullets were fired over.

But no matter what the other side did, "self" was already disheartened; besides disgust, the only thing in his heart was the thought of revenge.

The moment he knelt at the mother-in-law's door begging them to open it, and saw that his wife... his ex-wife had really aborted the child to force him to sell the house, Ji Xiang knew "self" had reached a threshold and had become another person.

After "persuasion" failed, the mother-in-law began to sit on the floor, throwing a tantrum and rolling around, looking exactly like a shrew.

Perhaps she was a shrew herself.

Of course, this was just the beginning; "self" knew the mother-in-law's family very well.

"Self" had installed cameras indoors and outdoors, secretly filming everything.

A few days later, while "self" was eating at home, a deafening sound of kicking the door rang out.

The wall plaster trembled along with it, as if there had been an earthquake.

"Self," however, was not afraid; instead, a smile appeared, along with a touch of relief.

Ji Xiang knew this must be the crux of the matter, so he focused his attention to see what would happen next.

Opening the door, he saw his former Brother-in-law kicking the door.

"What are you here for?"

"Ji Xiang, are you even human!" The former Brother-in-law's face was flushed red; one look and it was clear he had been drinking. He pointed at "himself's" nose, spraying saliva onto "himself's" face.

"What happened?"

"My girlfriend had an abortion today!" the former Brother-in-law said with red-rimmed eyes. "It's all because of you, you bastard. You wouldn't even sell the house, and you still want to divorce my sister! You slept with my sister for two years for nothing; you're nothing but a piece of trash."

Facing this bizarre family, Ji Xiang no longer knew how to describe his own feelings.

Do they really have no self-awareness at all?

Perhaps they really don't.

As this Empathy progressed, Ji Xiang deeply understood the saying that human joys and sorrows are not shared.

It really is very noisy.

"Please leave." "Himself" said coldly, "I have nothing to do with you or your sister anymore. This is my house, you have to pay for what you have done..."

"Slap~"

A slap landed on "himself's" face.

Ji Xiang clenched his fists; is this even human!

Yet "himself" unexpectedly fell with the momentum and immediately dialed the police.

The former Brother-in-law was not nervous at all; he clamored and pointed at "himself" while cursing.

"Himself" took a taxi to the hospital.

Halfway there, "himself" bent down and took a simple hammer out of his bag.

Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment.

What is "himself" going to do?

Self-harm, or is he going to rob the taxi driver?!

The plot is becoming increasingly bizarre.

What on earth is "himself" going to do?!
