The Little Spoiled Brat Divorces with a Child, Driving the Big Boss Crazy - Chapter 91

Chapter 91

Jin Beizhou froze where he stood.

Lu Ying had never liked complicating matters. Yet from a single sentence, she had followed the clues back to Old Master Jin’s true nature. Her insight was almost frightening.

“He’s done too many terrible things, that’s all,” Jin Beizhou said lazily. “And could you stop underestimating me…?”

Lu Ying waved a hand. “Eldest Brother has treated you so well. You can owe him that favor yourself.”

As for the money spent on her betrothal gifts, Lu Ying considered that her own debt to him.

“…” Jin Beizhou felt as though his lungs were clogged. “If you insist on keeping the accounts this clear, why don’t you become an accountant?”

Lu Ying asked, “We didn’t sign anything strange when we divorced, did we?”

Jin Beizhou replied sulkily, “I signed that divorce agreement of yours granting the woman full disposal rights over everything she takes from the man!”

“…”

Silence.

After a pause, Lu Ying supported her waist and headed toward the residential complex. “See you at the next prenatal checkup.”

“In your dreams.” Jin Beizhou was furious. “Didn’t you hear the doctor’s orders? Why don’t you go fight the doctor if you disagree…?”

Lu Ying cast him a cool glance.

Jin Beizhou silently closed his mouth.

Then he forced a muffled sentence through clenched teeth. “I’m coming with you.”

Lu Ying ignored him and walked away without looking back.

As Jin Beizhou passed the children’s park once more, he saw a pregnant woman strolling along the greenway in the pleasant weather. The man beside her was probably her husband, carefully protecting her with every step.

Jin Beizhou’s heart twisted several times. His gaze settled on the woman ahead who never once looked back.

He truly thought the pregnancy hormones had taken control of him.

Before Lu Ying could see, Jin Beizhou hurriedly rubbed at his eyes in embarrassment.

–

Lu Ying planned to resume her work at the Go academy. For one thing, the baby was rather large and she needed to move around. For another, summer vacation was approaching, and every Go academy was desperately competing for students and recruiting teachers. She had nothing else to do anyway.

Jin Beizhou did not stop her, but he ordered Dajun to remain at her side every moment.

Lu Ying was furious but could not bring herself to vent at Dajun.

“I’m not here to monitor you.” Despite his powerful, intimidating build, Dajun looked pitiful in front of her. “I won’t report your activities to Brother Zhou either. I swear.”

“Don’t you work at Huangting?” Lu Ying asked.

Dajun rubbed the tip of his nose. “I go wherever Brother Zhou goes.”

“You do whatever he tells you?”

“Yes.”

“Then how dare you say you won’t report to him?”

“…” Dajun’s expression was solemn to the point of stiffness. “You’re number one. He’s number two.”

Lu Ying was speechless.

She was an ordinary person doing an ordinary job. Everyone around her was either a coworker or a child. What danger could she possibly encounter?

By that afternoon, Lu Ying no longer thought that way.

Jin Meimei stood outside the Go academy looking as thin as a ghost, frightening several children into wailing and running behind Lu Ying while shouting for help.

Through the transparent glass door, Lu Ying met Jin Meimei’s hate-filled gaze.

Afraid that the children would be frightened further, Lu Ying went outside on her own. “Looking for me?”

Hadn’t Jiao An said Jin Meimei was missing?

Apparently, she had returned.

Only to discover that her arranged marriage had fallen through.

Jin Meimei stared viciously at Lu Ying’s belly.

Dajun’s gaze turned vigilant and his body tensed, ready to attack at any moment.

Jin Meimei withdrew her gaze. “Let’s talk.”

Lu Ying could not let her remain blocking the academy entrance, so she nodded and led her to the café next door.

Jin Meimei went straight to the point. “I’m returning to my hometown.”

Lu Ying responded without sincerity, “Have a safe trip.”

Jin Meimei’s gaze roamed across her beautiful face. “I was once just like you…”

“I don’t want to hear that.” Lu Ying grew impatient. “Talk about something else.”

Why was she obligated to carry another person’s emotions and life?

It had nothing to do with her.

“…”

The moment froze for a long time.
Jin Meimei pressed her lips together. “I’m no longer of any use to the Jin Family…”

Lu Ying grew even more irritated. “Say something that has to do with me!”

Jin Meimei’s hand clenched uncontrollably, so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

This was how Lu Ying had always been.

Beneath her passionate warmth lay the cold indifference of someone who had never lacked love. If she gave you her affection, you were important. If she withheld it, even the rarest treasure in the world could not make her think more highly of you.

Lu Ying was the giver in every relationship, while Jin Meimei and Jin Beizhou were the recipients of her charity.

She could give her love, and she could withdraw it.

Faced with affection that could be taken back at any moment, Jin Beizhou had chosen to embrace it and fight to keep it. Jin Meimei had chosen to give up.

If something was uncertain, she would rather never have it at all.

Jin Beizhou had accepted it, but look at him now.

Look at the miserable end he had met.

“Second Brother and I are the same kind of people,” Jin Meimei murmured in a daze. “I’m the one who would never abandon him. We should have huddled together for warmth, yet he chose you!”

“That question is beyond my syllabus,” Lu Ying said. “The answer is with your Second Brother. Don’t discuss mathematics with a language teacher.”

Jin Meimei stared at her. “You don’t deserve him.”

Lu Ying answered succinctly, “Fuck your mother.”

“…” Hatred consumed Jin Meimei. “You unbearably vulgar thing…”

Lu Ying threw a glass of water in her face.

Jin Meimei squeezed her eyes shut on instinct.

“Lu Ying,” she said in an icy voice, “he doesn’t belong to me, but he doesn’t belong to you either. He’ll leave Beicheng soon.”

Lu Ying raised her lashes, revealing clear, luminous eyes.

Jin Meimei wiped her face with the back of her hand, looking as sinister as a venomous snake. “Even your daughter won’t be able to keep him. His world is vast. A tiny place like Beicheng could never contain him.”

Lu Ying asked with genuine curiosity, “Is this vast world you’re talking about the underworld?”

“…” Jin Meimei shot to her feet. “You don’t have to keep pretending. You used to cling to him by acting cute and foolish. Now you use that huge belly to lure him. Once he returns to his real home, what will you and the child in your belly amount to…?”

Before she could finish, Lu Ying suddenly caught a passing server and snatched the cup of scalding coffee from his tray. She threw it directly into Jin Meimei’s face.

A scream instantly rang through the café.

Dajun moved in front of Lu Ying at once, watching Jin Meimei’s reaction with the focus of a hunting falcon.

The coffee scalded Jin Meimei’s chin and neck.

She called the police and insisted that Lu Ying be punished.

“We still recommend settling this privately,” the officer handling the matter tried to mediate. “Your burns are only minor, while she is pregnant…”

Jin Meimei said resentfully, “I want her sent to jail!”

Lu Ying exclaimed, “Ooh, how impressive.”

“…”

“But I genuinely want to go inside for two days. My brain is about to explode.”

“Officer, you heard that, didn’t you?” Jin Meimei gritted her teeth. “This is how arrogant she is!”

The officer’s head ached.

Several people hurried through the entrance, breaking the deadlock.

Lu Ying looked up. When she saw who had arrived, her mouth turned down and her manner weakened. “Eldest Sister-in-law, are you here to take me home?”

Ge Qi’s steps faltered.

“Keep dreaming.” Jin Beizhou’s face was dark. “I’m your family!”

Ge Qi said helplessly, “Grandpa and Grandma told me to take Meimei away and send her back to her hometown.”

As the Eldest Sister-in-law of the Jin Family, there were many things she had no freedom to refuse.

Lu Ying’s shoulders drooped, and she said nothing.

Jin Beizhou crouched in front of her. “Were you hurt…?”

As though she had suddenly thought of a solution, Lu Ying raised her head. “Eldest Sister-in-law, switch with him. He can take Jin Meimei away, and you can take me.”

Everyone fell silent.
