Chapter 898: The Wife-Abusing Moment is Refreshing, the Wife-Chasing Crematorium is Coming

~8 min read 1,511 words

"No way, Wan'er cannot go on a blind date."

Shi Youxuan held back a laugh and deliberately put on a stern face: "I'm warning you, don't go too far. You and Wan'er are no longer husband and wife; she has the right to pursue happiness again."

Jian Yining: "Her happiness is me."

"Heh, you'd better not be so blindly confident. No one can't live without someone else. Besides, you're already divorced, so why shouldn't she go on a blind date?"

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to find Wan'er."

Jian Yining had never felt such frustration and a deep sense of crisis.

After he left, Shi Youxuan immediately called Wan'er: "A Ning is going to find you. You must hold your ground right now and don't give the game away."

Wan'er: "Sister, are we being too much?"

"Oh, of course not, just listen to me."

"Okay."

When Jian Yining arrived, Wan'er was just about to head out. She had applied exquisite makeup, and a silver-white evening gown outlined her curvaceous figure, radiating charming allure from head to toe.

His expression was very unpleasant: "Dressed up so beautifully, where are you going?"

"A blind date," Wan'er said with righteous confidence.

"I'll go with you."

"No need."

Jian Yining: "I am your ex-husband, and I have an obligation to vet him for you, to see what kind of person my daughters' future stepfather is. If you happen to run into a scumbag again, your second half of life will be ruined." He said it very nicely and sincerely, but his face was as black as pot soot.

"That sounds nice, but don't think I don't know what you're thinking. What vetting? You just want to go and make trouble, right?"

"No, I promise not to make trouble, really."

"What if you don't keep your word?"

"Then you won't let me see the children, will that do?"

Wan'er thought for a few seconds, then agreed: "Hmm, okay."

The restaurant.

When the two of them arrived, a gentleman was already waiting at the table.

It was indeed just as Shi Youxuan had said; he was very handsome, and the point was, he was also very young!

He carried himself with an extraordinary air and was very polite.

He looked a bit familiar?

Oh, he remembered; this man looked like himself when he was young.

Although he was currently at the most charming age for a man, the man in front of him still gave him a deep sense of crisis, and he had already cursed Shi Youxuan up and down in his heart.

She was too treacherous; what kind of good friend was she?

She was just a "frenemy," specifically out to sabotage her own people.

The two of them arrived in front of the man, and Wan'er said politely: "Mr. Jin, right? I am Jin Wan'er."

From the first moment the man saw Wan'er, his gaze never moved from her face!

"Hello, Miss Wan'er, I am Jin Zhenzhou, very happy to meet you."

"Hello..."

Wan'er politely extended her hand, but it was unexpectedly pressed down by Jian Yining. He reached out and shook hands with Jin Zhenzhou: "Hello, I am her ex-husband."

Wan'er:...

What happened to not making trouble?

Sure enough, it was all a lie.

Jin Zhenzhou's face showed surprise, but it was only for an instant before he quickly returned to normal: "Hello, I didn't expect you to come too, so I only booked a table for two."

Jian Yining's expression remained unchanged: "It's fine, just have the waiter add a seat. If Mr. Jin is worried about the cost, please rest assured, this meal is on me."

Jin Zhenzhou hurriedly said: "That's not what I meant, it's just a meal, I can afford it..."

"Waiter, add a seat," Jian Yining had already given the order.

The three of them sat down.

"I heard Mr. Jin is a Doctor of Law? Where are you currently employed?" Jian Yining asked.

"I am still in school and haven't started working yet."

He became excited the moment he heard that, appearing casual but with ill intent: "Oh, you don't look that young anymore, yet you haven't started working? Then I wonder what Mr. Jin plans to use to support a family?"

He was one step away from directly saying the other party was a gigolo.

Jin Zhenzhou didn't mind and spoke eloquently: "Oh, that's my fault for not making it clear just now. Although I haven't graduated yet, I have opened a firm in partnership with friends, and the monthly income is enough to support a family."

The waiter brought the menu.

Jin Zhenzhou handed the menu to Wan'er: "Ladies first."

Wan'er was about to take it, but it was snatched away by Jian Yining: "I'll order. I know our Wan'er's favorite tastes best."

"Jian Yining, you've gone too far!" Wan'er said with a smile, but through gritted teeth in a low voice.

"Don't be like that. You're here for a blind date today, don't lose your elegance in front of outsiders."

He told Wan'er not to lose her elegance, but he himself was very inelegant.

On their first meeting, he unceremoniously ordered shark fin on rice, bird's nest, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, lobster...

Wan'er stopped him: "Are you ordering this much to eat? Don't stuff yourself to death."

"It's fine, if I can't finish it, I'll pack it up and take it back for the children to eat."

Wan'er:...

The expression on Jin Zhenzhou's face never changed from beginning to end. He even comforted Wan'er: "It's okay, it's my honor to have a meal with a beauty like you, ordering more is no problem at all."

Jian Yining thought to himself: "Stubbornly clinging to pride at the cost of suffering. Let's see if you'll still say that when it's time to pay the bill later."

No one ate much of the mountain delicacies and sea treasures covering the table.

Jin Zhenzhou and Wan'er were chatting very happily, looking as if they had met too late in life.

Jian Yining was as tense as if facing a formidable enemy, acting all nervous.

It wasn't that he didn't want to chime in, but the key was that he didn't understand the topics they were discussing.

Jin Zhenzhou and Wan'er were both Lüshi, so they had common topics, and many of the professional terms were obscure and difficult to understand; he couldn't follow, and it wouldn't be appropriate to ask them to explain it to him.

There was too much he didn't understand, and it wouldn't be easy to explain.

Jian Yining really couldn't understand what was wrong with the young talents of today.

Wouldn't it be better for someone as outstanding as him to go find an unmarried young girl?

Why did he have to compete with him for Wan'er?

His sense of crisis grew even more intense.

"Wan'er, let's go back; it's time to pick up Baobao at the kindergarten." Finally reaching the time to pick up the children, he hurriedly interrupted the two.

Wan'er glanced at the watch on her wrist and then said, "It really is, but Li Sao has gone to pick them up. If you have things to do, go ahead and get busy; I'll chat with Jin Xiansheng for a while longer."

"I have nothing to do."

"Even if you don't, you should leave. Don't you think that in this kind of setting, your presence is an eyesore?"

Jian Yining:...

Jin Zhenzhou: "That's right, Jian Xiansheng. I know why you followed along; you are worried about Wan'er, afraid she might meet the wrong person. Now that you've met me, you shouldn't be worried anymore, right?"

The man in front of him was very outstanding, so outstanding that he didn't have a single flaw.

But it was precisely because he was outstanding that he was worried!

After leaving the restaurant, Jian Yining went straight home to wait for Wan'er.

He kept looking at his watch, checking it several times a minute; why hadn't she returned yet?

Even when Baobao called for him to play, he was absent-minded; his whole heart was tied to Wan'er.

The sky had already turned dark.

Unable to hold back any longer, Jian Yining made a phone call, only to discover that his number had been blocked and he couldn't get through at all.

With no other choice, he bit the bullet and dialed his sister's phone number, fawning, "Sister, I'm begging you for a favor..."

"No!"

"Beep, beep, beep—"

A busy signal came from the other end; he had been refused without the slightest hesitation.

All of this was self-inflicted; he knew it was all his own fault and could blame no one else.

Who told him to be so blinded by obsession back then, that for the sake of a swindler named Huang Qin, he had actually offended everyone closest to him.

He could only turn to Shi Youxuan.

"Ring, ring—"

Shi Youxuan looked at the name on the screen, smiling as she watched it, but she didn't answer.
