Chapter 4: Truly Perverted

But after all, they were his biological children. Jian Senran would occasionally give them some attention. When Jian Jinci was eight years old, she would endure her disgust towards him and try every way to make him happy. When he was happy, he would give her some money, and her life with Jian Xu would be a little easier.

After she turned eighteen, Liang Jinyu no longer allowed Jian Senran to give her a penny. She made her move out of the Jian family, saying that she was old enough and should have her own life.

That year, she took Jian Xu and moved out of the Jian family. Liang Jinyu and her daughter were ruthless. She couldn’t leave Jian Xu in the Jian family. Liang Jinyu was happy to let her take Jian Xu away. This was her goal.

At that time, she naively thought that it didn’t matter if life was hard, at least she could escape from the Jian family. But the reality was not like that. She would often be called by Jian Senran to have dinner at his house, and he would make her attend important press conferences or banquets, putting on a show of family harmony.

At first, she directly refused, not wanting to have anything to do with anyone in the Jian family anymore. But it didn’t go her way. Liang Jinyu threatened her with Jian Xu. If she didn’t obey, Liang Jinyu would make Jian Xu unable to go to school.

Anything could be directed at her, Jian Xu was still young, he had a long life ahead of him. If he couldn’t go to school, his life would be ruined.

And she was afraid that she would never be able to escape this dirty family in her lifetime.

Jian Xu was in the second year of junior high school, and he went to school in the afternoon.

Jian Jinci had just graduated from college, majoring in jewelry design. In the afternoon, she stayed at home drawing designs. She would sell some of her designs to jewelry stores.

In her spare time, she would also take on some part-time jobs, such as voice acting, delivery, food delivery, and ride-hailing. She did anything as long as she could make money.

In the evening, the doorbell rang.

Jian Jinci stood up and stretched. At this time, there was only one person who would come to see her. She opened the door, and Yan Xi stood outside, carrying something.

Yan Xi was her college roommate and also her best friend. When everyone abandoned her, she was the only one who stayed by her side.

Jian Jinci smiled: “What delicious food did you bring?”

“Beer and some dishes, I know you didn’t eat dinner.” Yan Xi went in and put the dishes on the coffee table in the living room.

The two of them sat on the carpet. Jian Jinci opened a can of beer and put it in front of Yan Xi, then opened one for herself. They clinked their glasses.

The TV was playing the news, and the announcer’s official voice came from the TV: “The newly listed company in Beijing, Jingche Group…”

Yan Xi picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, complaining: “Annoying.”

Jian Jinci ate the food: “What’s wrong?”

“Sister, don’t you watch the news, browse your phone, or read magazines?” This news had been all over the place for the past few days. Every time she opened her phone, the news feed was full of this news. Yan Xi clinked her glass with hers: “A newly listed company in Beijing, it rose from the ground. After the company went public, many companies faced the risk of bankruptcy. The CEO of this group is only twenty-eight years old, a business tycoon, and also a handsome guy.”

Jian Jinci was skeptical: “You’re kidding me, a CEO who can make a company like this must be an old man.”

“Don’t you believe me, I’ll find it for you.” Yan Xi put down her chopsticks, picked up her phone, opened the news article and put it in front of Jian Jinci: “Scroll down, there’s a picture.”

Jian Jinci didn’t believe it, she scrolled down the screen of her phone. When she was about to reach the end of the article, there was a picture attached. She was so shocked that she almost dropped her phone.

The picture showed a man in a black suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, elegant and noble, his eyes were long and narrow, exuding danger.

She thought she had seen wrong, she rubbed her eyes and stared at it for a few more seconds.

There couldn’t be such a coincidence, she couldn’t believe it. Maybe he just looked like him. She struggled desperately: “What’s his name?”

“Pei Yanzhou.” Yan Xi: “Sister, didn’t you read the introduction?”

Jian Jinci: “…”

She silently put down her phone, picked up the beer on the table and took a few big gulps, crushing the empty bottle.

Noticing her strangeness, Yan Xi looked at her: “Were you struck dumb by his handsomeness?”

Jian Jinci “hehe” twice: “He’s… just average.”

Yan Xi felt something was wrong, very wrong: “You know him?”

Jian Jinci denied it without thinking: “No, I don’t.”

Yan Xi thought she was acting strange today. Maybe it was her imagination. Remembering what happened last night, she asked: “Where did you go last night? Your brother called me looking for you.”

Jian Jinci’s gaze returned from her phone: “I was cheated on.”

Yan Xi was shocked: “Song Xuchen cheated?”

“Yeah.”

Yan Xi cursed: “A hypocritical hypocrite, disgusting.”

She was a little worried that Jian Jinci couldn’t handle it, so she said: “Jinci, are you sad?”

The bitterness in Jian Jinci’s eyes flashed past. They had been together for three years, it was inevitable that she would be sad, but she wasn’t that heartbroken. She said: “It’s okay, I can accept it.”

Maybe she had a premonition when she saw Su Jingxuan wearing lingerie and flirting with him a few times. But at that time, she didn’t have time to think about it, she just wanted to make more money. Now that it happened, it wasn’t as hard to accept as she imagined.

She had drunk her fill, and she had poured out her bitterness. She wasn’t the kind of person who would be heartbroken over love. She had more important things to do. She would live her life well, and making money was the most important thing.

“Birds of a feather flock together. I’m actually grateful to the third party for helping me see through this trash. Trash should stay with trash.”

“You’re right.” Yan Xi: “Jinci, your biggest advantage is that you’re so clear-headed.”

Jian Jinci laughed: “My beauty is my biggest advantage, isn’t it?”

Yan Xi laughed and agreed: “Yes, yes, you’re right. Our Jinci is not only clear-headed, but also a little beauty.”

Living a little more clearly makes you happier. It seems like Song Xuchen cheated on her, but for her, it was a kind of liberation. She saw through Song Xuchen’s true face, his hypocritical facade, his affectionate persona. She didn’t have to live under his deception.

But thinking about it, she was really stupid. She had been deceived for three years, foolishly thinking that Song Xuchen truly loved her. It was really laughable and pathetic.

Now, the trash she discarded is being treated as a treasure by someone else.

Jian Jinci’s phone rang. It was Song Xuchen calling. She didn’t want to answer, so she hung up. Then he called again.

She hesitated for a moment before answering the phone. There was no one speaking on the other end, only a continuous, ambiguous sound. It was Song Xuchen and Su Jingxuan’s voices. Even through the phone screen, she could guess what they were doing on the other end.

This call was obviously made by Su Jingxuan to show off to her. Unfortunately, Su Jingxuan was wrong. This didn’t stimulate her at all, she just felt disgusted.

Would you feel sorry for throwing away useless trash? The answer is no.

For her, compared to Song Xuchen, she preferred money. She had more time to spend thinking about making money than being heartbroken.

It’s just that Su Jingxuan was playing a bit perverted. She was almost broadcasting it live to her. It’s a pity that Su Jingxuan didn’t go to those VIP websites to shoot porn.

Jian Jinci hung up the phone, blocked Song Xuchen’s number and deleted it. She turned off her phone and put it on the coffee table.

Looking at the food on the table, she suddenly lost her appetite. She opened a can of beer and drank it by herself.

Yan Xi: “Scumbag’s call?”

“Yeah.” Jian Jinci: “The three things Song Xuchen did completely overturned my worldview. He almost broadcasted it live to me.”

Yan Xi: “Is it what I think?”

Jian Jinci faintly “嗯”ed.

The food on the coffee table suddenly didn’t taste good anymore. The scene was playing in her mind. Yan Xi: “Truly perverted, no shame at all. Are homewreckers this good at playing now? It’s refreshing my worldview.”

Jian Jinci twitched her lips. Yan Xi stayed with her for dinner and comforted her for a while. Jian Jinci repeatedly emphasized that she wouldn’t be sad for the scumbag, and then Yan Xi went home.
