Chapter 376: The Fiancé Ran Away with the Most Beautiful Girl in the World (1)

There is a problem in the relationship between Ning Zhiyi and Chang Jiaer, but he does not have the time and energy to solve it, so the misunderstanding between the two becomes deeper and deeper. Chang Jiaer thinks that Ning Zhiyi is fickle and does not like her and starts to be perfunctory towards her; while Ning Zhiyi thinks that she is unreasonable, does not care about herself at all, and is selfish.

But the amazing thing is that no matter how these two people blame each other, they just refuse to break up completely, and they are still together even though they quarrel. This makes Ning's mother and father very angry. Ning's mother even did many things to break them up, and asked her son to find a daughter of a wealthy family with a strong family background to marry. After all, the Ning family is not the same as before. After the Lehman incident, it has been severely damaged and its wealth has shrunk by one third. This requires Ning Zhiyi to find a strong in-law family to help him.

But Ning Zhiyi has already paid such a high price for Chang Jiaer. If he really gives up, wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain? The sunk cost is too high, and Ning Zhiyi is already very unwilling. If he really gives up Chang Jiaer, doesn't it mean that what his parents said is right, and he really did something wrong? With a strong self-esteem, he naturally refuses to admit this.

This relationship became a useless thing that was a pity to discard and tasteless to eat. Unfortunately, they were destined to be together, so in the end, after entangled for many years, they still got married. However, this marriage was not as glorious as in the previous life. After all, Ning's Group had fallen from a first-class enterprise to a second-class one because of Ning Zhiyi's willful arrogance, and Ning's father and mother still hated Chang Jiaer very much. They were willing to let them get married, which was already a step back. They still wanted to spend a lot of money to hold a grand wedding? That was a dream!

One can imagine what life will be like for Chang Jiaer after she married into the Ning family. Her parents-in-law dislike her and her husband's feelings for her have almost worn out. She is like being trapped in a dark and narrow cage in the Ning family, and her life is extremely depressing and painful every day. But she is unwilling to leave. After all, although the Ning family is in decline, they can still afford her a life of luxury. She doesn't want to go back to living in the slums.

Ning Zhiyi eventually had to pay the price for the mistakes he made when he was young and frivolous. Every day was occupied by busy and boring work. When he got home from get off work, he had to face the conflicts between his wife and mother. As a son and a husband, he was caught in a dilemma. It would be wrong to help anyone, and it would be wrong not to help either. He was almost driven crazy by the conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. He was not even thirty years old, but he was tortured and looked bitter and resentful.

But these were all his own fault. As his adopted sister, Ning Shichu lived a happy life. After she stopped getting involved in her mother's family affairs, her relationship with Xi Ciming became better and better. After a few years of their sweet life together, Xi Ciming changed from a workaholic to a good family man who worked from nine to five every day and paid attention to the combination of work and rest. Seeing that he showed no signs of changing for the worse, Ning Shichu finally agreed to have a baby.

They had two children, who inherited the Xi family's and Ning Shichu's own properties respectively when they grew up. They lived a peaceful and happy life.

When Shi Chu just woke up, the first feeling he had was heaviness. His head felt dizzy, his body felt heavy and sore, and he smelled a strong smell of medicine. It was obvious that this was the body of a person who had been bedridden for a long time.

"Zhichun, is the young lady awake? The medicine is ready." A soft female voice asked gently.

Another clear female voice also lowered her voice and answered, "Not yet. Once the medicine is ready, let it cool down. It will be ready for you to take when you wake up."

These were the two maids of the original owner. Shi Chu came to this conclusion from his body memories.

It seems that he is at home, which means he is safe and there is no need to worry about anything else. Shi Chuyu began to receive all the memories of the original owner with peace of mind.

The original owner was called Shu Shichu. Her father Shu Xian was the Left Censor-in-Chief of the fourth rank. She had two older brothers. She was the youngest daughter in the family and had been delicate and frail since childhood. Therefore, her whole family loved her very much and arranged a well-matched fiancé for her early on - Ji Feibai, the second son of Ji Yun, the Minister of the Dali Temple.

Ji Yun and Shu Xian were both Jinshi in the same year. After becoming officials, they became colleagues and friends. After Shu Shichu was born, the two decided to become in-laws and arranged marriages for their children.

So in fact, the original owner and her fiancé Ji Feibai can be said to have grown up together as childhood sweethearts. If nothing unexpected happened, the two would definitely get married and have children in an orderly manner.

But an accident happened.

As the imperial court and government authorities in this world become weaker, the power of the underworld becomes stronger. Many people live within the purview of the underworld rather than under the governance of the government. In some places, the underworld is so strong that even the government authorities have to give way.

The original owner's fiancé Ji Feibai didn't like studying since he was a child. Instead, he liked to use guns and sticks and yearned for the world of martial arts. He also had some talent for martial arts, so he learned some good martial arts. When he was fifteen years old, he secretly ran away from home to venture into the world of martial arts.

As he went along, he met the most beautiful woman in the world, Le Wanrou, and fell in love with her at first sight. However, unfortunately, besides him, this beauty had many suitors, and he was not the best among them. What's more, he was already engaged, so he had no advantage at all.

In order to pursue the beauty of his heart without distraction and without scruples, Ji Feibai ran back home to break off the engagement with the Shu family. He acted first and asked for permission later. He had just returned from the martial arts world and before he even entered his own home, he went to the Shu family and told Shu Xian directly that he wanted to break off the engagement with Shu Shichu because he fell in love with another woman.

He thought that if he fell in love with another woman, he would immediately go to the Shu family to break off the engagement. This was an upright thing to do. Aren't the heroes in the martial arts world so straightforward and unrestrained? So he didn't even tell his family and went to the Shu family to break off the engagement.

But he didn't consider that his family and the Shu family were not from the underworld, but from the officialdom, and they did not follow the underworld ways in their conduct.

Shu Shichu was a daughter of an official family, so even if he wanted to cancel the engagement, he should have followed the rules and etiquette. He should have informed his family first, obtained their consent, and then asked his family to accompany him to the Shu family to apologize and make amends, and found a proper reason before canceling the engagement.

But he came alone and asked for a breakup right away. There was no elders around and he didn't bring any token of engagement. This showed that he had no respect for the Shu family and Shu Shichu, and he was trying to trample on the dignity and face of the Shu family.

Shu Xian was furious and kicked Ji Feibai out of the house. He also threatened to break up with Ji Yun. Shu Shichu learned that her childhood sweetheart had fallen in love with someone else and wanted to break off the engagement with her, so she fell ill out of grief.

In fact, even in the martial arts world, breaking off an engagement doesn't happen this way. If Ji Feibai knew a little more, he wouldn't be so reckless and impulsive. However, he was so overwhelmed by his admiration for Le Wanrou that he only wanted to break off the engagement and pursue the beauty without any worries. He had no intention of understanding her at all, so he did such a thing.
