The consequence of being drunk was being taken advantage of again, but Shen Muqing didn't care; it was bound to happen sooner or later.
Ji Ming's agreement saved Su Xia a lot of trouble. Fortunately, nothing went wrong when she was getting the divorce certificate, and it went surprisingly smoothly.
In the end, Su Xia became a billionaire. The sound of her phone receiving a deposit was the most beautiful sound she had ever heard, bar none.
Because many of the assets were difficult to divide, Ji Ming converted them all into cash and transferred them to her account, and the villa also belonged to Su Xia.
Su Xia leaned against the door frame in a great mood, watching the movers carry Ji Ming's belongings out.
"Qingqing, you don't need to work anymore. This money is enough for the two of us to live on for a lifetime."
She spoke boldly to Shen Muqing, who was still sitting on the sofa eating watermelon, her mouth still full, and blurted out, "Really? Cough cough cough~"
Before she knew it, Shen Muqing choked on the watermelon juice. Ji Sui naturally reached out and took the watermelon that she spat out but hadn't chewed, then pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth.
"What's wrong, Qingqing?"
"I just choked a little, it's nothing."
Ji Sui gently patted her back to help her catch her breath. Seeing that Shen Muqing had calmed down, he took the watermelon back into the kitchen and cut it into smaller pieces.
Shen Muqing picked up the freshly cut watermelon with a fork, squinting his eyes in satisfaction. Watermelon cut by someone else always tastes sweeter.
"Kids, I'm treating you to a big meal today!"
"good!"
Shen Muqing excitedly stood up, waving her arms and legs, as happy as a child.
Su Xia took them to the city's most upscale restaurant, where a string of English words sounded sophisticated and classy.
Expensive restaurants are just different; the decor is incredibly luxurious, and the air is filled with pleasant aromas.
Shen Muqing clicked her tongue as she looked at the menu in her hand: boiled vegetables for 2888, wild yellow croaker for 15,000 per catty.
I apologize for disturbing you; it's because she's so ignorant.
She handed the menu to Su Xia, "Mommy, you order."
"Order whatever you want, there's plenty for you today."
Su Xia didn't care. How much could a meal cost? At most, it would only cost tens of thousands of yuan.
"Why don't you take a look at the menu?" Shen Muqing insisted on handing the menu to Su Xia. Su Xia was puzzled. Was it too cheap?
She took the menu and thought, "Wow, this is definitely a top-notch restaurant."
"It's okay, go ahead and order. Mom has money."
"good!"
Shen Muqing pointed at the menu, "What is sake-marinated abalone? I haven't finished three servings."
"And this, this, and this, bring three servings of each."
She turned to Su Xia and asked, "Did Mommy order too much?"
"No, we'll pack up the leftovers."
Ji Suicong didn't say much when he entered the restaurant. Su Xia and the other woman didn't ask for his opinion when ordering food; he just ate whatever they ordered.
Although the restaurant's dishes and chopsticks were clean, Ji Sui was still worried and asked for a pot of hot water to rinse them for the two of them.
After eating and drinking her fill, Shen Muqing leaned on Su Xia's arm and said, "Mommy, this is so delicious."
There's a reason why things are expensive.
Su Xia put her arm around Shen Muqing, "I'll bring you next time."
In stark contrast to the scene before them, Ji Sui, dressed all in black, followed behind them alone, carrying a pink bag in her hand.
He followed slowly behind them, like their bodyguard.
In the days without Shen Muqing, he felt that life was very boring, but now that life is actually a verb, he actually thinks it's pretty good.
After lying low for two months, Su Xia felt that she couldn't just sit around doing nothing and had to continue creating wealth.
Just then, Ji Sui had an idea to start a business, and the two hit it off immediately. Su Xia provided the money, while Ji Sui provided the manpower and expertise.
Ji Sui's intelligence is undeniable; he has demonstrated greater wisdom than his peers since childhood, so Su Xia is not worried at all about losing everything.
The days passed peacefully and comfortably. Shen Muqing noticed that Ji Sui had been very tired lately, leaving early and returning late every day. Sometimes he would fall into a deep sleep before they could even exchange a few words.
Not wanting to disturb him, she stopped talking abruptly.
Ji Sui's company was quickly established within a few months. The company was called Muqing Group, and you can tell what it means just by the name.
Meanwhile, Ji Ming hadn't had a proper rest in the past few months. All his time and energy were focused on the cooperation with Rongsheng Group. If this cooperation succeeded, the Ji family would reach a new level, and its market valuation could increase several times over.
He was tired but happy, and had no time to pay attention to Su Xia and the others' movements; that was a thing of the past for him.
On the day of the final bidding, Ji Ming went to the site with a nervous heart. He had a general understanding of the other competitors' backgrounds, and he believed that no one's proposal was better than his. He had unparalleled confidence in his proposal.
At the top floor of Rongsheng Group, Gu Huaizhi sat in the president's office. "Brother, promise me you won't cooperate with the Ji family."
The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses looked up at the desk, a hint of surprise in his eyes. His younger brother usually never cared about the company's affairs, so why was he acting so strangely today?
"Oh? Give me a reason." Gu Yu adjusted his glasses and looked at Gu Huaizhi.
"Ji Ming, the founder of the Ji family, is the culprit who has kept your brother single for so long."
"That's interesting. Don't worry, your brother will help you."
Having received an affirmative answer, Gu Huaizhi smiled wickedly and said, "Ji Ming, don't blame me. If it weren't for your tricks, Su Xia would be my wife now."
After the bidding ended, Ji Ming sat dejectedly in the hall. It couldn't be, it was absolutely impossible. His proposal was so excellent, there was no reason why they wouldn't accept it.
His eyes were full of resentment. If this attempt failed, the Ji family would face bankruptcy, and he was unwilling to accept that.
Ji Ming squatted at the entrance of Rongsheng Group, waiting for Gu Yu. He wanted to ask Gu Yu in person where his plan was lacking.
It wasn't until dark that Gu Yu and Gu Huaizhi walked out side by side. Ji Ming hurriedly went up to them and identified himself.
"Hello Mr. Gu, I am Ji Ming, the person in charge of Ji's Group. I would like to ask where my proposal is lacking?"
He lowered himself and asked in a humble manner.
“Ji Ming?” Gu Yu looked at his younger brother beside him and found him staring at Ji Ming with disgust.
"Yes, yes, it's me."
Gu Yu didn't speak again, but turned to the side to signal Gu Huaizhi to speak.
"Ji Ming, long time no see." Gu Huaizhi said slowly, each word uttered slowly, with a hint of gritted teeth.
"Who are you?"
"It seems Mr. Ji has a bad memory; he can't even remember his old classmates."
Ji Ming looked closely at the man in front of him, and memories of his university days slowly surfaced. His expression turned horrified. "Gu Huaizhi!"
What are you doing here?
“This is my family’s company. Where else would I be if not here?” Gu Huaizhi enjoyed his fear.
"You...you're using your position for personal revenge." Ji Ming finally understood why his proposal had been rejected; so that's how it was.
He staggered back a few steps in disbelief.
"You know we have a grudge against each other, so what's wrong with settling a personal score? If you're so capable, you can do the same to me."
Gu Huaizhi approached Ji Ming, his strong aura filling Ji Ming's nostrils and making him tremble involuntarily.
"You and I both know perfectly well how you married Su Xia, and you also know perfectly well how you treated her afterward."
"You should be thankful your proposal wasn't selected, otherwise..."
The implication was clear, and Ji Ming's heart skipped a beat, leaving him stunned on the spot.
Gu Huaizhi ignored him. From now on, Ji Ming would no longer pose a threat to him, and Su Xia would soon become his wife.
Unlike Ji Ming's down-on-his-luck state, Ji Sui's company was doing very well, as if he had a benefactor helping him, and new solutions always appeared in time whenever he encountered difficulties.
Three years later, Ji Ming's Ji family business had gone completely bankrupt. He begged Su Xia, hoping to remarry her.
Before Su Xia could even speak, the man beside her warned him, "Ji Ming, it seems you haven't learned your lesson yet."
"Xiaxia, please forgive me, I was wrong."
Ji Ming knelt disheveled before Su Xia, begging her to forgive him. He was still fantasizing about using the money in Su Xia's hands to make a comeback, and only Su Xia was willing to suffer with him.
Thinking of this, Ji Ming's expression turned fierce. That bitch Ruan Qiu ran away as soon as she learned that he was bankrupt.
"roll."
Gu Huai kicked him and quickly pulled Su Xia away.
Ji Ming collapsed to the ground from the heavy blow. He tried to get up and chase after Gu Huaizhi, but was frightened by Gu Huaizhi's glare and stopped moving. He was afraid of Gu Huaizhi.
At the entrance of the residential area, Shen Muqing leisurely rode her electric scooter around, glancing at a familiar vehicle out of the corner of her eye.
With a twist of her wrist, she pinned the expensive Bentley to the spot, and then made an arrogant gesture towards the people inside the car.
The gatekeeper gasped. Although the people living here are all rich and powerful, how dare you cut off a Bentley with your little electric scooter? You have some nerve.
He was just about to tell Shen Muqing not to do that again.
The man in the car rolled down the window to indicate that it was okay.
The gatekeeper was baffled; he didn't understand the world of the wealthy. All he saw was the Bentley slowly following behind the pink electric scooter.
It's a car, but it drives slower than people walk.
In front of the villa, Ji Sui parked his car and opened the door to find Shen Muqing looking at him with a huff.
After three years of growth and experience, Ji Sui has shed his youthful naiveté and is now much more mature, clearly a successful person.
He smiled helplessly, hugged Shen Muqing, and coaxed her in a deep, magnetic voice, "What's wrong, little kitten? It was my fault last night. Let you rest today, okay?"
"Good my ass!" Shen Muqing stomped on his shiny leather shoes, leaving a dirty footprint.
"Don't be angry, little cat. I bought you your favorite little cake."
"That's more like it."
The girl happily ran into the house carrying her beloved little cake, with Ji Sui following behind, smiling.
Time flies. This is the fourth New Year that Shen Muqing and Ji Sui have spent together. She closed her eyes and made a wish, hoping that Ji Sui would not be able to make it next year.
In the dimly lit room, only the flickering candlelight danced on everyone's faces. Ji Sui then made a wish:
I hope to spend every New Year with my kitten.
Su Xia and Gu Huai smiled happily as they made a wish.
Whoosh~ The candle was blown out, and Shen Muqing swiftly scooped up some cream with her hand and smeared it on Ji Sui's face, saying, "You always bully me."
"Stop making a fuss, little kitten!"
He raised his hand to wipe the cream clean, without chasing after Shen Muqing.
Shen Muqing found it boring and returned to his seat. What a dull man.
Just as she was complaining, Ji Sui casually smeared a piece of cream on Shen Muqing's nose and said, "Happy New Year, little cat!"
"Ji Sui! You're dead."
Shen Muqing followed Ji outside, and just as she was about to get angry, she saw colorful fireworks light up the sky, deafeningly loud.
Su Xia and Gu Huaizhi watched this scene with smiles in their eyes. Su Xia sighed, "They are still just children after all."
“In my heart, you are still a child.” Gu Huaizhi said affectionately, looking down at his face.
Su Xia playfully punched him twice, saying, "You shameless old man."
"Yeah, you have to be shameless to get a wife." Gu Huaizhi grabbed her hand and breathed on it.
For the first ten years or so, it was because he was too concerned about his reputation that Ji Ming was able to take advantage of him.
Happy New Year, Ji Sui!
"You too, little cat. I hope you have a smooth and worry-free life."
Everyone is living happily.
