Zhou Jishen was a few years older than Ye Feiyu, but every time he talked to him, Ye Feiyu's aura was enough to crush him.
It's impossible not to feel frustrated.
They were all outstanding individuals, but Zhou Jishen had never received so much cold treatment before.
But there are some things that are beyond his control.
Ye Feiyu is the one who holds the initiative.
"So you don't want to help, you just want to see the Lin family destroyed, is that right?"
Ye Feiyu yawned lazily. Talking to an idiot was a waste of his brain cells.
If Ye Feiyu hadn't been eager to see the drama unfold, he would have set a trap for Zhou Jishen as well.
But he had already planned something different for Zhou Jishen.
Zhou Jishen had been giving Jiang Tian the silent treatment for five years; how could she just give him a quick death with a single stab?
Lin Jianhe is old and has suffered a stroke, so naturally he has no intention of making a comeback.
But Zhou Jishen is different. He's quite resilient. We live in a society governed by law, so we can't just call for violence. Even if he's burdened with heavy debt, things can change, and who knows, he might make a comeback.
Moreover, a quick, decisive cut is not as painful as a slow, gentle slicing.
So Ye Feiyu kept him.
But keeping Zhou Jishen around wasn't about letting this fly buzz in your ear.
"Why should I watch the Lin family perish? Mr. Lin is a respectable elder, and I will help him. You don't need to worry about this, Mr. Zhou, do you?"
Zhou Jishen stopped talking to him and instead looked at his ex-wife.
"Do you also want to see your father take his own life in his old age? I thought you wouldn't be that cruel."
Jiang Tian looked up from the computer and at him: "I'm not heartless, otherwise, if I had known you tricked me into marriage, I would have drugged you and let you die slowly, so I could have gotten some money as a widow."
Zhou Jishen's expression changed.
"To be honest, Zhou Jishen, I really look down on you. I don't know how much spiritual satisfaction your self-sacrifice brings you, but you, a respectable businessman, are bowing and scraping to this person and kneeling to that person every day, living like a coward. It's really difficult for you to make others like you. I want to ask you, how can you make so much money and still live such a pathetic life?"
"Me, my mom, Lin Jianhe, Lin Qingyun, even Tan Jingyu, Lin Ziyan, really no one respects you. You're really something to make everyone look down on you."
Zhou Jishen's face turned ashen.
Being looked down upon is a blow to one's self-esteem, and this kind of damage can have a significant impact on one's mental state, especially for a successful person like Zhou Jishen who is both insecure and arrogant.
"Is Ye Feiyu a good person? I warned you before, he's not someone you can control."
"If I can't control him, how can you? Since no one can control him, why are you saying so much to me? Pretending to be a good person? Why do you have so much free time?"
Zhou Jishen was so angry that his mind went blank.
He had never seen Jiang Tian act like a shrew.
"Other people's feelings are like drinking water; only they know whether it's hot or cold. It's really low of you to point fingers at other people's lives. From now on, can you please shut up when you see me and Ye Feiyu? If you can't do anything, at least keep quiet."
Zhou Jishen was absolutely furious.
Ye Feiyu looked at Jiang Tian with great interest, a smile of joy on his lips.
His wife certainly lived up to his expectations, becoming increasingly bold in her speech, which he absolutely loved.
"If you regret marrying him later, don't say I didn't warn you." Zhou Jishen said after holding back for a long time, uttering a threat that had no real impact.
"Oh, then I certainly won't regret it. I want to marry a real man, not a spiritual eunuch in masculine clothing—so, can you leave now?"
A surge of blood seemed to rush to his head, and Zhou Jishen was speechless for a long time.
Ye Feiyu almost burst out laughing.
Describing Zhou Jishen as a "spiritual eunuch" is both vivid and apt, and quite reasonable.
Even if you're not a eunuch, you can't live such a pathetic life.
The mentally unstable eunuch Zhou Jishen was so angry that he left; he probably didn't want to see Jiang Tian anymore.
As soon as he left, Ye Feiyu hugged Jiang Tian with a smile: "You have a really sharp tongue."
Jiang Tian's eyes clearly showed her speechlessness: "Don't see Zhou Jishen again. He's out of his mind."
"Don't worry, we won't see each other again."
Ye Feiyu smiled and agreed to Jiang Tian's request.
A few days later, Ye Feiyu took some time to visit Lin Jianhe.
Lin Jianhe is now truly abandoned by everyone.
Apart from the creditors who came to collect their debts, not a single relative came to visit him.
The other members of the Lin family's collateral branches were too busy dealing with his mistakes to care about this useless person.
Needless to say, Tan Jingyu and Lin Qingyun, the siblings, wished they could stay as far away as possible.
His friend came to ask him for money.
For the first time, Lin Jianhe knew what it meant to have a miserable old age.
These past few days he's come to realize how cold-hearted people can be, so when he saw Ye Feiyu, he didn't have as many complaints.
Ultimately, you have to accept the consequences of your bet.
Ye Feiyu did not play an absolutely villainous role; he himself chose a path of no return.
"President Lin, you look so pitiful, it breaks my heart to see you like this."
Lin Jianhe's speech was unclear, and in order to maintain his dignity, he simply looked at him in silence.
"I didn't want to help you originally, really. I only helped you once because I felt sorry for you after you became a cuckold. I thought that would be the last time I helped you, but when I thought about how you struggled for decades and it all came to nothing, it was so pitiful. Besides, if I hadn't helped you, your money might have been taken by those bastards. It would have been a huge tragedy."
