Chapter 356
Old Yi fell asleep on the table in the study.
In the dream, he had to go to the wedding of his colleague’s son, and there was a group of girls at a table not far away.
One complained, "It just disappeared like that. I cried for days, but I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked. Seriously, I never thought it would. It likes to hide in cardboard boxes. I forgot to check that day, so I asked the servants to throw away a bunch of cardboard boxes. Who would have thought it would be there?"
Another said: "Cats just love to crawl into cardboard boxes."
"Why can't I find it anymore? I can't help crying when I think about it when I'm alone. It's so beautiful and good, how can I not find it anymore?"
"If you accidentally lose her, you may never find her again."
He listened from the side and felt sad.
He woke up and found the desk lamp still on. He decided to go back to sleep. Why did he have such a strange dream?
He could not remember the memories of his previous life.
The next morning he went to work again, and when he came back in the afternoon they were still playing cards. Wang Jiazhi couldn't pull an all-nighter, so she went home to sleep and then came back to play cards in the afternoon.
He went in just during the intermission because the fortune-teller had come again and was telling fortunes for several wives and young ladies, and she said her predictions were all accurate.
He went in and listened for a while, thinking that it was the tricks of a charlatan, and everyone became serious about it.
When it was Wang Jiazhi's turn to have her fortune told, the woman said, "Your husband is the reincarnation of a nine-tailed white fox spirit. You should have had a happy life, but because he was doomed, you've also suffered misery. And you've been so bewitched by him that you don't know how to turn things around. You and him are destined to be husband and wife for three lifetimes. If you don't resolve it..."
The old woman was about to continue, but Wang Jiazhi heard this and clasped her fingers together in front of her chest, excitedly saying, "Are you saying that I can be with him for three lifetimes?"
The old woman was stunned. How could it be so different from what she had imagined? The others were also very surprised. He was also shocked. Only she smiled foolishly, not realizing the abnormal atmosphere around her.
A few days later, Wang Jiazhi withdrew from the Yi family's card game and didn't plan to go back anytime soon. Without her, Old Yi wouldn't allow Mrs. Yi to continue her antics, so Mrs. Yi had no choice but to restrain herself. But it was really infuriating. He could do it when Wang Jiazhi was around, but not when she left. As the principal wife, he lived in the main house, so his fate depended on her, the second wife in the small mansion.
Wang Jiazhi had recently been planning a story about the extravagant and parasitic lives of upper-class women, and it just so happened that Mrs. Yi was having a blast. They say intellectuals are poor, never having lived the lives of the rich, only capable of fantasizing. Wang Jiazhi figured it would be a waste to let such a rare opportunity slip by.
Soon after, the novel was published in the newspaper. Mrs. Yi and her friends never read novels. Mrs. Liao's daughter was a fan of Wang Jiazhi's novels and read them first. After reading it, she said to them, "Why does this seem like our story?"
Several people said it was impossible, but after looking at the details, they found that they seemed to have found characters based on themselves. But they never thought it was written by Wang Jiazhi.
This novel received a huge response after it was published, because the debauchery of the upper class was beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and the writing style was also very different from her previous style. When reading it, everyone seemed to be possessed by opium, like in a horror movie full of decadence and extravagance.
Several people in Lao Yi’s circle of friends were also discussing which character looked like his wife.
Mrs. Yi had previously been skeptical of what Old Yi and the female writer had been up to. Now, she was beginning to suspect they were having an affair. She thought Old Yi might have told her about their mahjong game. She had no idea the female writer was actually Wang Jiazhi.
He went back and smiled at her, "Why don't you write about how you always lose money?"
She said, "I won't lose money anymore, and I don't want to write something as embarrassing as that."
