Reborn With An Old Enemy On The Day Of Our Marriage Chapter 76 - The Wife's Bankbook

Chapter 76 - The Wife’s Bankbook

“My dad’s going to break up with YiJun after the New Year. He says he doesn’t have the patience to continue to waste time with her.” Zheng PingQing mildly commented to Lin Qian.

Lin Qian paused. “He YiJun’s going to go crazy.”

In their last life, He YiJun practically destroyed Zheng PingQing’s family. When she married Zheng BuLu, she birthed him a son and schemed for her own son to inherit Zheng BuLu’s entire fortune. He YiJun’s country family also rode on her success and became well-known local-tyc.o.o.ns in her hometown.

He YiJun had endured all sorts of humiliation for the sake of her goals. If Zheng BuLu broke up with her now, it would be like a death sentence to her.

Zheng PingQing only mentioned this to Lin Qian in pa.s.sing. Uncaring, he shrugged.

When Zheng PingQing first found out about He YiJun’s schemes, he had been furious. He thought back to the fights he had with Lin Qian, the pain and torture Zheng BuLu and Chen ShiYi experienced, and the chaotic ten years they all had to go through. After finding out that all this suffering was caused by He YiJun, he had the strong urge to strangle her with his own hands.

But now, they were transported back into the past. What was supposed to happen hadn’t happened yet.

For a woman like He YiJun, the best punishment was for her to watch everything she desired vanish before her eyes. The knowledge that she would be unable to get what she wanted in this lifetime would be the biggest slap in the face.

And Zheng BuLu was even helping them achieve this.

Zheng PingQing and Lin Qian would probably never meet He YiJun again. Her future, whether good or bad, no longer mattered.

It was more important that they keep their beloved by their side forever.

Lin Qian thought for a while, then said: “I think your father should check He Fei’s economic problems before he breaks up with her.”

Zheng PingQing immediately understood.

In their last life, when He YiJun married Zheng BuLu, she obtained a lot of wealth from the Zheng family. Her parents also rapidly rose in social standing. At the time, the young Zheng PingQing hadn’t been exposed to the workings of society yet, so he didn’t see the warning signs. Now that he was more mature, Zheng PingQing realized that their speedy rise in power may not be as simple as it looked.

Zheng PingQing moved a little closer to Lin Qian, then caressed his cheek. “My boyfriend is so smart and virtuous, ah.”

Just as Zheng PingQing was thinking of taking advantage of their closeness, a cough sounded from behind. The voice yawned, then asked: “Did you call me here to talk about the project, or did you just want me here to watch your displays of affection?”

Zheng PingQing looked back and saw Ke MuZi looking at them with dead fish eyes. Ke MuZi was wearing a plaid shirt, creased jeans, and had messy hair. He looked like he hadn’t slept in days.

It’s quite rare to see such a sloppy person out and about during the Spring Festival.

Zheng PingQing’s face became filled with black lines. “When did you arrive? Also, why didn’t you make any sound, ah?”

Ke MuZi’s dull and lifeless eyes stared back at Zheng PingQing. “I knocked when I came in, but you were too busy fondling Lin Qian to notice.”

Zheng PingQing was in no way ashamed. He even reached out to touch Lin Qian’s face again. He proudly said: “It’s useless. You can’t prevent the loving actions of a couple.”

Ke MuZi: “….”

Ke MuZi turned to Lin Qian and sincerely suggested: “You really don’t want to consider changing boyfriends? I’ll introduce you to some guys I know. They have good grades…”

Zheng PingQing: “!!!!”

Lin Qian was surprised. “Do you know a lot of gay guys?”

Ke MuZi replied: “I can trawl through the internet and find you a good one.”

Lin Qian: “….” You sound like you’re going fishing.

Like a true tyrant, Zheng PingQing vehemently denied Ke MuZi’s offer on behalf of his boyfriend. “Forget it!”

Lin Qian watched the two men peck at each other for a while. In the end, he pinched his boyfriend, smiled at Ke MuZi, and said: “Don’t bother. Even if you go through all the men in this country, you won’t find a better match for me than this guy.”

Ke MuZi: “….” Ah, he was wrong. He had naively thought that it was only Zheng PingQing who was being love-struck.

Zheng PingQing haughtily raised his chin. “See? Our love is more solid than gold, you can’t separate us.”

Ke MuZi yawned once more. “Fine, fine. Let’s just get down to business already, ah.”

Lin Qian looked at his haggard face and asked: “How long have you been awake? Why don’t you sleep in one of the guest rooms and have a little rest?”

“It doesn’t matter.” Ke MuZi waved a hand, his dead fish eyes finally brightening as he said: “I think I made a breakthrough with our project. Where’s your computer? I’ll show it to you.”

Lin Qian was in awe. “What will-power. No wonder you could succeed in the U.S. market.”

Ke MuZi was at a loss. “What?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. The computer’s this way.” Zheng PingQing led the way and brought Lin Qian and Ke MuZi into the designated computer room.

It was full of shouting students. In front of each computer was a group, cheering at the screen and playing various games.

However, Ke MuZi remained unmoved as he walked through the room. His gaze didn’t leave Zheng PingQing as he followed him to a computer. Zheng PingQing was a little surprised and asked Lin Qian: “Did he ever get married before?”

Naturally, he was talking about in their last life.

Lin Qian carefully sifted through his memories but was ultimately at a loss. “I don’t think I’ve read anything like that in online news.”

Zheng PingQing then concluded: “I guess he was married to his computer.”

Lin Qian: “….” That actually makes some sense.

Zheng PingQing continued to blacken Ke MuZi’s name. “No, he probably married an Internet cafe.”

Ke MuZi didn’t pay attention to the whispering duo and concentrated on the computer in front of him.

However, this was the computer Shao SiJia used to help avenge Dong MingEn. After winning the PK, she twirled her hair and floated away. Dong MingEn, the lovestruck fool, mindlessly followed her and forgot to log off.

Ke MuZi looked at the game interface.”Who didn’t log off, ah?”

Ke MuZi manipulated the little character for a bit. Feeling silly, Ke MuZi was just about to log off when a group suddenly rushed towards his character and started bombarding him with skills.

In just a few seconds, Ke MuZi’s character died, and the screen turned gray. The gang who killed him began cursing and jeering at him, especially this one person with the ID ‘Killing a Tiger with One Punch.’

[Killing a Tiger with One Punch]: You f.u.c.ker, you think killing this Grandpa twice is enough?

[Killing a Tiger with One Punch]: Look at the strength of Grandpa’s guild!

[Killing a Tiger with One Punch]: If I see you again, I’ll kill you. I’ll keep killing you until you delete your account.

[Killing a Tiger with One Punch]: Hah, a vegetable pretending to be a tiger. You make me laugh! Actually daring to threaten this Grandpa.

[Killing a Tiger with One Punch]: Revive if you have the guts! Grandpa will kill you again and again until you’re back in the novice village!

[Killing a Tiger with One Punch]: You’re nothing but an insect. You think you have the strength to threaten this Grandpa’s guild?

Ke MuZi clicked the mouse b.u.t.ton and slowly moved it a few times. The cursor that had been moving towards the exit b.u.t.ton slowly moved away. Because he was sleep-deprived, any changes in Ke MuZi’s dull face would be quite conspicuous. So when Ke MuZi’s eyes began to blaze, his entire demeanor transformed.

Zheng PingQing couldn’t help but shiver. He turned to Lin Qian and mumbled: “Why is his smile so creepy?”

Lin Qian also saw Ke MuZi’s sudden shift. He hesitantly patted Ke MuZi’s shoulder. “Boss Ke, let’s get down to business, ah.”

Ke MuZi didn’t look away from the computer screen. He simply waved a hand and said: “You two go and make out in some corner, ah. When I’m done, I’ll come find you.”

Then, he started typing.

……

Lin Qian: “….”

Zheng PingQing was quite pleased with this. “Wow, he knows us so well.”

Lin Qian narrowed his eyes at Zheng PingQing. “Hush.”

Zheng PingQing immediately shut up and concentrated on the computer screen.

[Sit on You Till you Die]: Ok.

……

‘Killing a Tiger with One Punch’ continued to badmouth and curse him, but he never got a response. At this time, Ke MuZi had already brought up coding software and was busily tapping on the keyboard. Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing watched Ke MuZi, not understanding anything on the screen.

Zheng PingQing’s eyes had long turned into mosquito coils. “Boss Ke, what are you doing?”

Ke MuZi replied succinctly: “Writing a plug-in.”

Zheng PingQing: “…”

Lin Qian helplessly asked: “What’s it going to be called?”

Ke MuZi was indifferent as he replied: “Break up their guild and delete their account.”

Lin Qian: “…..”

Zheng PingQing gave Ke MuZi a thumbs up. “What a ruthless man.”

Anyway, the two didn’t understand Ke MuZi’s hacker world. Zheng PingQing didn’t want to watch Ke MuZi play and was instead eager to ‘play’ with Lin Qian. “Since Boss Ke suggested it….”

Zheng PingQing gave Lin Qian his best affectionate expression.

Lin Qian said: “Alright, I’ll find something to feed you with.”

Ke MuZi’s rhythmic tapping paused for a moment. He slowly turned to the couple and said: “You two…can’t you walk further away before you start flirting?”

Lin Qian was pleased. “So you can still hear sounds that aren’t coming from the computer. That’s a relief.”

Ke MuZi wanted to bang his head on the keyboard. “Can you please, please, please give me a break.” He really regretted it. Why did he try and challenge Zheng PingQing, ah!

The grinning Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing went on their merry way.

Zheng PingQing walked away with his chest puffed up. “Now he definitely knows that your heart only has me. Let’s see if he gets any more rotten ideas after this.” He had deliberately simulated Ke MuZi, knowing that his boyfriend would surely co-operate with him.

This was a tacit understanding that had been cultivated over two lifetimes!

Lin Qian helplessly pulled at Zheng PingQing’s hair. “That’s enough bullying, ah. Let us finish our business meeting before you make any more trouble.”

Zheng PingQing wrinkled his nose. This narrow-minded person replied: “That depends on whether he starts acting sensibly or not.”

……

The feeble Dong MingEn followed Shao SiJia around the house, watching as she played games with the others. He dreamily sighed as Shao SiJia skillfully decimated four people in a game of ping pong. He didn’t remember his own account until he received a call from one of the online players he used to play a lot with.

“Oh, oh, bigshot! Why aren’t you talking to me!” This person was very excited. “Why are you acting so arrogant in-game, ah! Don’t you recognize your brother? I’ve been trying to talk to you in-game, but you always ignore me! Hey, please help me level….”

“What are you talking about?” Dong MingEn asked.

“You’re still pretending! The top three members of his guild already knelt down and apologized to you. Everyone’s seen it….”

Dong MingEn straightened. “….f.u.c.k.” He finally remembered that he had forgotten to log off his account.

The person on the other end of the call misunderstood and continued to flatter Dong MingEn: “Don’t pretend, ah. Please help this lowly follower!”

Dong MingEn ended the call and rushed back into the computer room. In front of the computer was a man laying down on the keyboard, snoring as he slept.

Dong MingEn looked at the computer screen and saw the character with his ID killing everyone. On the world chat, the leader of Killing a Tiger with One Punch’s guild was apologizing for their mistake and bitterly pleading for him to stop.

Dong MingEn facepalmed.

He’s never going to play with this account again.

……

Ke MuZi had been exhausted. He slept deeply, and when he woke up, he realized that the sky was already dark and that he was lying on a bed. The students who were playing in Zheng PingQing’s house had already dispersed, so the house had become quiet.

Ke MuZi sat up and blearily blinked for a while, adjusting to the warm yellow light that lit the room. After some time, he noticed that he wasn’t alone. Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing were sitting at the desk, huddled together. Their bodies were very close together, as if there wasn’t a third, totally unrelated person in the room.

Ke MuZi: “….” Why was this the first thing he sees after waking, ah?

Ke MuZi got out of bed and slowly stretched. Bitter, he said: “I see that you two can be affectionate with each other in any place and at any time.”

Zheng PingQing raised his head, and calmly replied: “Yep! Why, did you want to watch?”

Lin Qian placed a hand on his forehead and immediately refuted Zheng PingQing’s words. “We really aren’t doing anything, ah.”

After a moment’s hesitation, Ke MuZi decided to change the subject. “Let’s talk about our project.”

“You really don’t want to continue watching our lovey-dovey displays?” Zheng PingQing asked.

Ke MuZi didn’t hesitate to say: “Don’t want to.”

Lin Qian gave Zheng PingQing a hard poke at his waist, then picked up the papers they had been reading moments before. Lin Qian said to Ke MuZi: “This is the business plan I prepared. Take a look.”

No matter how talented Ke MuZi was, he was just a high school student right now. He didn’t know much about business as it had nothing to do with coding, his main area of interest. But even with his rudimentary knowledge, Ke MuZi understood that the business plan in his hands was valuable.

“You’re a genius.” Ke MuZi gave Lin Qian his heartfelt praise. Although Lin Qian couldn’t write code, he provided other helpful and important things to their collaboration. Moreover, Ke MuZi was certain that no one else in his peer group had the same level of competency and skill that Lin Qian had.

Lin Qian didn’t reply. He simply smiled and said: “If you don’t see anything wrong with the plan, we can start as soon as possible.”

Ke MuZi nodded and looked through the papers once more. “There should be no problem…”

But before he finished, Ke MuZi suddenly paused. He pointed to one of the lines and looked at Lin Qian doubtfully. “This line that names the founders of the company…it only has my name and yours…”

Lin Qian nodded.

With furrowed brows, Ke MuZi turned to Zheng PingQing and asked: “What about you?”

“It’s a decision I’ve made after discussing it with Lin Qian. In the end, he and I are lovers. If I become a founder, it’ll inevitably turn into a two-on-one situation in disagreements. It wouldn’t be fair to you, so I’ve decided not to join.”

Ke MuZi was struck dumb.

As far as he knows, all the funds used to start the company came from Zheng PingQing. It would be more than reasonable for him to join the founders, or even be the leader. But in the end, Zheng PingQing was the one who took the initiative and yielded his power.

Ke MuZi was moved.

However, he wasn’t the type of person who could speak eloquently. After a long silence, Ke MuZi awkwardly said to Zheng PingQing: “Well…you’re not going to incur any losses?”

Zheng PingQing shrugged indifferently. “It’s fine. I’m my wife’s bankbook. The wife’s bankbook and financial a.s.sets shouldn’t all come from one source.”

Lin Qian smiled. “After I receive my earnings, I’ll give him some pocket money.”

Ke MuZi was very depressed.

Why must they try and fill every single moment with their incessant flirting, ah?

The author has something to say:

Ke MuZi: ……I want to leave the group.

This chapter was a lot of fun to read LQ and ZPQ flirting, KM tired of life…
