Chapter 171: Past Events of the Republic of China 11

Nie Zhicheng's already dazed expression froze instantly because he had hit Nie Yaya.

He froze there, somewhat afraid to look at Qiu Chi, with a flash of anger and fear in his eyes.

Qiu Chi seemed oblivious to his stiff body and continued smiling, "Why aren't you talking? Are you so excited to see me that you've become mute?"

Nie Zhicheng looked ahead with a dazed look, wondering what the chances were of him running away while Qiu Chi wasn't paying attention.

Qiu Chi flicked the whip, and the sound of the whip hitting the air rang in Nie Zhicheng's ears, and his stiff body couldn't help but tremble.

"It's okay if we don't talk. I'm quite happy to see you, so let's catch up like we did the last two times we met."

Nie Zhicheng became more and more angry.

The sound of the whip hitting the air kept ringing in his ears, and it might hit him in the next second. He finally couldn't remain mute any longer.

He tilted his head and glared at Qiu Chi, then mustered up his courage and said, "Zhai Jiayue, what on earth do you want to do? I filed for divorce because I made you lose face, but haven't we already met all your requests? Do you find it fun to be like this?"

"Our previous marriage was originally a product of feudal society, devoid of emotion. You may not know what love is, and you haven't experienced it, but I know that what I pursue is free love. You can't force me to be feudal just because you are feudal, right?"

"We are divorced, can't you just let me go?"

Nie Zhicheng was really scared by Qiu Chi's beating, and his eyes were red when he spoke at the end.

Qiu Chi couldn't help but sigh, "Do you think you're quite pitiful? Do you think you're just looking for true love and haven't done anything wrong?"

Nie Zhicheng asked in return: "Isn't it?"

"As usual, I'll answer your questions while I'm typing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Chi started to pull it out.

Nie Zhicheng bit his lower lip and looked at Qiu Chi fiercely.

Qiu Chi chuckled. "Glazing at me is the real deal? Is it true that you married Zhai Jiayue? Why didn't you tell me before you left the country that it was a feudal marriage? Did you tell Zhai Jiayue on your wedding night to wait for you to come back?"

"Have you had a pretty good time these past two years abroad? Maybe people overseas don't like you very much, but with classmates who went abroad with you, and money, you've been living a pretty good life, right?"

"Free love is allowed abroad. Do you think you can do that? Don't you consider your status as a married man? What qualifications do you have?"

"Don't talk about feudal marriage. Pursuing free love is what the new era should be about. Does the new era teach you to cheat on your spouse? Does the new era teach you to marry someone voluntarily and then ignore everything without taking any responsibility?"

"You were living a carefree life abroad, ignoring your wife at home and enjoying a free love relationship. And what kind of shitty life is Zhai Jiayue leading in your Nie family? And now you want a divorce the moment you come back. Do you think I should fight you?"

Nie Zhicheng protected his head and listened to Qiu Chi's words, always feeling that these words were a little strange.

As for when Qiu Chi asked him whether he should fight, he naturally felt that he shouldn't fight.

"How would I know what life was like for you at the Nie family when I was abroad? It's not because of me that you're having a bad time at the Nie family. If you're having a bad time, why don't you just go to them? Why are you hitting me?"

Qiu Chi continued to move: "You should let your mother and sister hear what you said. I wonder what they think when they hear it."

"Also, Zhai Jiayue's life in the Nie family is not going well because of you. You left the country the day after your wedding, and your mother thought it was her fault. You haven't been home for a long time, and your mother thinks her beauty is wrong. The Zhai Jiayue you saw that day was the result of your mother's forced training."

"A beautiful young girl has been turned into such a horrible state. Are you satisfied?"

Of course Nie Zhicheng was not satisfied. When he saw Zhai Jiayue's outfit when he returned home, he was really shocked. He couldn't believe that he actually married such a woman.

Originally, he didn't want to talk about divorce right away, but seeing Zhai Jiayue's expression, he almost couldn't help but say it immediately.

After a few thoughts in his mind, Nie Zhicheng still felt something was wrong: "You, aren't you Zhai Jiayue? Why do you use the third person to refer to yourself..."

Nie Zhicheng finally realized that there was something wrong with Qiu Chi's words.

Qiu Chi laughed and said, "You're wrong. I'm not Zhai Jiayue. If I were Zhai Jiayue, you would have been dead long ago."

"Don't you call yourself a young man of the new era, against all kinds of feudalism? Feudal superstition must be feudal in your eyes, right? I'm going to tell you my identity now, don't be afraid."

"Actually, Zhai Jiayue was almost driven crazy by her mother's torture, and I was a fierce ghost passing through your house. To be honest, the reason I died was actually because I met a heartless person, so seeing her experience, I felt particularly sympathetic..."

"Ah—ghost—get away—"

They were clearly in the corridor and they talked so much, but no one came out to watch the fun.

In the empty corridor, with the cold wind blowing from nowhere and Qiu Chi's slightly gloomy words, Nie Zhicheng finally couldn't help but scream and fainted from fright.

Qiu Chi stopped whipping, kicked the unconscious Nie Zhicheng, and said with disgust: "It's useless."

After saying that, Qiu Chi stepped on Nie Zhicheng and left.

She went to check out.

Now that the show is over, it’s time to look for Zhai Jiayue’s savior.

As for Nie Zhicheng, who was lying there half-dead, it was none of her business. He could only wait to be discovered.

Not long after Qiu Chi left, Nie Zhicheng was discovered.

This hotel belongs to the Yu family. The hotel manager naturally knew Nie Zhicheng, and he immediately contacted the head of the Yu family.

When Patriarch Yu saw Nie Zhicheng's miserable state, he was a little surprised: "Why is it so miserable?"

The manager shook his head: "I don't know. He was like this when I saw him. Should we notify the Nie family to come and pick him up?"

Patriarch Yu nodded. "It's about notifying, not picking someone up. It's about redeeming him. The Nie family's precious son came to me and was seriously injured. In Old Man Nie's eyes, I must have done something evil. If that's the case, I must establish this bad reputation."

"Go, inform the Nie family and ask Old Man Nie to redeem him. If there's no satisfactory price, his precious son will have to stay here."

Even though Mr. Nie was furious that Nie Zhicheng showed up at the Yu family's hotel for no reason, seeing how miserable Nie Zhicheng looked and thinking that he only had this one son, he could only accept it.

The Yu family was very rude when it came to dominating people. Even if Mr. Nie wanted to bargain, with Nie Zhicheng holding him back, he still suffered heavy losses.

He brought Nie Zhicheng back home and asked someone to wake up the unconscious Nie Zhicheng. However, Mr. Nie could no longer bear it and slapped Nie Zhicheng in the face.

"You unfilial son, you're deliberately trying to piss me off to death. I told you to stay home, so why did you have to run off to the Yu family's hotel?"

Nie Zhicheng was still dazed when he was woken up. It was not until Master Nie slapped him in the face and heard those words that he finally came to his senses.

He couldn't stop shaking and spoke incoherently: "No, it's not me, I didn't go, it's, it's Zhai Jiayue, no, no, she is not Zhai Jiayue, she is a ghost, it's a ghost, it's her, it's all her..."
