My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 242: 240: How Long Does the Lady Plan to Neglect Her Husband?

She saw Ji Baijian, whom she had not seen for a week, standing at the entrance of her family’s courtyard again.

He was still leaning on his crutches.

Yin Qin was following him.

From Yin Qin’S face, Song Zhizhi could tell that they must have been waiting for a while because Yin Qin looked a bit impatient.

Song Zhizhi did not approach them.

Because she really didn’t know how to deal with Ji Baijian.

However, her father, Song Shan, was very enthusiastic, “Baijian, you’re here. Didn’t Zhizhi tell us you were recuperating at home during this time?”

Song Zhizhi hadn’t yet told her father about the difficulties between her and Ji Baijian. She made up an excuse that Ji Baijian went back to the Ji Family and she did not want to go, so she returned. Her father didn’t ask too many questions as they had a slight rift a few days ago. And he thought that his daughter might want to help him more during this difficult time, so he didn’t think it was inappropriate for her to come back and live at home for a while. But seeing Ji Baijian at the door, Song Shan sensed something was off Ji Baijian said, “Dad, I came to bring Zhizhi home.”

Ji Baijian didn’t answer Song Shan’s question, he just stated it directly.

While speaking, he didn’t look at Song Zhizhi, as if this matter didn’t need to be discussed.

“Oh, that makes sense. You two just got married and being apart isn’t good.” Song Shan nodded, “But since you’re here, how about going home after dinner?”

“Sure.” Ji Baijian nodded.

Song Shan invited them in, “Then don’t just stand at the door, come in.”

“Yes.” Ji Baijian followed Song Shan inside.

Limping all the way.

While walking towards the courtyard with Ji Baijian, Song Shan asked, “Baijian, how is your health? Is your leg getting better?”

“Thank you for your concern, Dad, it’s nothing serious.”

“That’s good. Even though you young people recover quickly, you should still be careful and not leave behind any after-effects.” “I will take care of myself.” Ji Baijian nodded, “And also take good care of Zhizhi.”

“Good, I trust you.”

Song Shan and Ji Baijian were conversing naturally.

Song Zhizhi watched the two men’s retreating figures, her eyes fixed on them.

She couldn’t figure out Ji Baijian.

She thought he was here to divorce her.

Wasn’t what we said that night clear enough?

And his departure the next morning, wasn’t that what he meant?!

She thought Ji Baijian might need to handle some follow-up matters because their divorce might affect both families. He might need to prepare for the many things they would have to face after the divorce, which is why he took several days to show up. But she just heard him say that he was here to take her home.

She didn’t want to think too much about it.

In any case, the situation was set, and she had become quite calm after these few days.

In her reborn life, romantic love was something she hadn’t planned for, and men were no longer everything in her life!

Ji Baijian was so good that she forgot her original intention, but luckily she has found her way back now!

“Sister-in-law.” Yin Qin called her from the side.

Song Zhizhi took her gaze off Ji Baijian in a subtle manner.

“Treat Baijian better.” Yin Qin said with a smile. He didn’t look very serious, but he seemed very sincere.

Song Zhizhi frowned slightly, “Did Ji Baijian tell you something?”

“He didn’t say anything.” Yin Qin shrugged, “I just feel that, you should treat Baijian better.”

Song Zhizhi walked past Yin Qin, “This is between us.”

Yin Qin watched Song Zhizhi’s retreating figure. Yes.

This was a matter between a husband and wife.

But innocent people shouldn’t get caught in this!

It’s really not easy for Ji Baijian to stay alive like this! It’s especially hard for him to survive so many trials and tribulations! Every time he survived, he wanted to kneel down to thank heaven for its mercy!

He followed them into the Song family courtyard.

At this moment, Ji Baijian was already sitting on the sofa with Song Shan.

Song Shan had someone make tea and was chatting with Ji Baijian.

Song Zhizhi also sat for a while.

Feeling someone’s gaze on her, she didn’t look back. Instead, she said to her father, “Dad, ask Zhi Dao to come back earlier. There are some things I need to talk with him. I’ll go back to my room and rest ror a wnue.”

“Okay.” Song Shan nodded, “When Zhi Dao comes back, I’ll call you.”

Song Zhizhi got up and left the hall.

She didn’t want to discuss her affairs with Ji Baijian in front of her father. And she speculated that Ji Baijian would probably show up in her room soon.

She sat on the sofa in her bedroom, looking at her phone.

About ten minutes later, Ji Baijian walked into her bedroom.

The person helping him was Yin Qin.

Yin Qin helped Ji Baijian sit directly on Song Zhizhi’s bed.

Song Zhizhi’s brows furrowed slightly.

Yin Qin let go of Ji Baijian, turned to Song Zhizhi, and said, “Here’s the person you wanted. Go easy on him. His body still has plenty of parts, but they’re a bit worn out.”

“Yin Qin, you can leave now.” Ji Baijian said seriously.

Yin Qin smiled, “I know you two are close, I won’t be a third wheel. But sister-in-law, Doctor Yan Jin asked me to pass on a message to you.”

Song Zhizhi looked at Yin Qin.

“Dr. Yan said that the three to five-month period he mentioned wasn’t a joke, you might not be so lucky next time.”

Song Zhizhi was taken aback

Yin Qin added in an extremely direct way, “I’m talking about sex.”

Song Zhizhi’s face turned a little red.

They did consummate their marriage that night.

Doctor Yan did tell her at the hospital that day that they had to wait three to five months, but what happened that night made her think that Dr. Yan was lying.

Now, looking at Ji Baijian’s condition.

Has Ji Baijian been in the hospital for these past five days?

“Yin Qin.” Ji Baijian called him. Yin Qin shrugged, “I’m just passing on a message.” After speaking, he walked out.

In any case, for Song Zhizhi, Ji Baijian was ready to die.

What could he say? At worst, when Ji Baijian died, he would burn a few more incense sticks for him as a friend. What else could he do but fulfill his obligation as a friend?!

He walked towards the hall.

He ran into Luo Xiaolang and Wei Ziming coming over.

“Little wolf dog.” Yin Qin greeted Luo Xiaolang on his own initiative.

Even though there was no particularly deep bond between him and Luo Xiaolang, they were friends in Yin Qin’s mind simply because they saw each other often. He treated everyone easily- anyone whom he thought he could befriend could be his friend, and Luo Xiaolang was no exception.

Luo Xiaolang glanced at Yin Qin, ignoring him.

Yin Qin was used to Luo Xiaolang’s indifference.

After all in this world, the two women who had least interest in him were Ji Baixin, who would probably never have feelings for him in this lifetime, and Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang would never have feelings for him, and he would never be interested in Luo Xiaolang either.

“Xiaolang.” Wei Ziming suddenly stopped.

Luo Xiaolang looked at her mentor.

She knew very well what her mentor wanted her to do.

“Yin Qin probably has something to tell you, I’ll go back to my room first.” Wei Ziming left.

Luo Xiaolang watched the retreating figure of his master.

Yin Qin did the same.

He turned to Luo Xiaolang and asked, “Has your master gone nuts? Didn’t he seem to dislike me?”

“How do you know he dislikes you?” Luo Xiaolang asked. “Do you think I’m as blind as you?” Yin Qin retorted impatiently.

“Then don’t you see that I dislike you?” Luo Xiaolang asked back.

Yin Qin laughed and casually said, “Well, I can tell you don’t like me. But I’m quite interested in you!”

Luo Xiaolang glared at Yin Qin.

Yin Qin laughed brightly, stretching out his hand to pat Luo Xiaolang’s head.

He always thought her short hair was rather messy, but he enjoyed touching her soft, silky hair. As he tried to smooth out her unruly hair, she quickly moved away from his touch before he touched her.

See, Luo Xiaolang has no interest in him.

Yin Qin lowered his hand and said, “I’m off. If anything happens to Ji Baijian, just send him straight to the crematorium. There’s no point in sending him to the hospital, unlikely he could be saved anyway. ”

“Huh?” Luo Xiaolang had no idea what Yin Qin was talking about.

Yin Qin had already strolled away while she was still confused.

He got back into his car and drove off.

He was actually quite exhausted.

Traveling all the way from S Country, barely had a break, he had to come here with Ji Baijian to wait for Song Zhizhi. Standing at the entrance, Yin Qin felt Ji Baijian was as still as a statue. He felt a wave of relief finally handing Ji Baijian over.

As for whether the woman would cherish him or not, it was out of his control. Let the fate decide Ji Baijian’s fate!

The man Yin Qin had been talking about was now sitting on Song Zhizhi’s bed, quietly watching her.

Song Zhizhi was idly flipping through her phone, without saying a word.

But she was actually not reading any of the news on her phone, merely killing time and waiting for the other person to speak.

The room was eerily quiet.

Somebody finally spoke in the room, his voice slightly teasing, “How long does the madam plan on ignoring her husband?”

Song Zhizhi looked up and gazed directly at Ji Baijian.

Although he leaned against the headboard, looking physically weak, it did not compromise his charm.

His sickly charm, in fact, invoked a strong desire to protect him.

And she thought that Ji Baijian was a cunning man that she just couldn’t resist!

She said, “Ji Baijian, just say what’s on your mind.”

“Madam, please go ahead.” Ji Baijian seemed quite sincere.

Song Zhizhi took a deep breath, realizing it was improbable for Ji Baijian to be the one to initiate anything.

From the beginning, from her approaching him to propose marriage and marriage arrangements, she was always the one who took the initiative.

Hmm.

Except for their wedding night.

She really didn’t want to recall that night.

After all, they had consummated their marriage.

Isn’t it completely normal for modern couples in a relationship to do some intimate things?!

“Madam, your face seems a bit red.” Ji Baijian said, his smile was particularly charming.

Song Zhizhi kept staring directly at Ji Baijian.

“Looking at me, have you recalled some inappropriate images?” Ji Baijian asked.

“Ji Baijian.” Song Zhizhi abruptly stood up from the sofa and walked to the bedside, looming over Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian looked up at her.

“State your intentions.” Song Zhizhi didn’t want to mince words with Ji Baijian anymore.

She had matters to discuss with her father and brother later on and really had no time to waste on Ji Baijian.

“To take you home.” Ji Baijian’s lips barely moved, his tone was firm and resolute.

Song Zhizhi was glaring at Ji Baijian, several times on the verge of losing her temper, but she always restrained herself.

She suppressed her emotions, trying to maintain her calm as she sought to speak her mind. Then she heard Ji Baijian’s magnetic voice once again, “Madam, do you think I’m here to divorce?”

“Aren’t you?” Song Zhizhi questioned in return.

“Do you think that I can use and leave without taking responsibility?”

“I don’t care. I don’t need your responsibility,” Song Zhizhi stated bluntly.

After all, she had already given herself to this man in her previous life; all this was just doing it another time.

She didn’t care.

“I care,” Ji Baijian stated, his deep gaze fixed squarely on Song Zhizhi, as if he intended to suck her soul into his own, “My innocence isn’t something just anyone can tarnish.”

“What on earth do you want, Ji Baijian?” Song Zhizhi asked, at that moment, perhaps unable to restrain herself any longer, her voice rising, “Just how far do you want to push me? Our conflicts run deep, our disagreements are serious, why must we keep entangling ourselves for the sake of so-called love? You may not feel tired, but I am. More than tired, I’m scared. I’m scared that I can’t protect my family, I’m scared that you are a ticking time bomb! Ji Baijian, the moment I came back to life, I never thought about falling in love again. It’s you who made me unwittingly fall into this trap. I regret it now, why have I invested true emotions? If we didn’t have feelings for each other, if we were indifferent to each other, if we were using each other, perhaps we wouldn’t have reached this stage.

We could have continued pretending, each taking what we needed.”

Against Song Zhizhi’s agitation, Ji Baijian was clearly a lot calmer. He replied, “Song Zhizhi, the moment you approached me, I took it seriously! And when I take things seriously, I don’t let go.”

“What do you want?” Song Zhizhi was still quite agitated, “What do you think we should do? Fine, I’ll go back with you, we can live like strangers under the same roof, does that sound interesting to you? Ji Baijian, I really can’t trust you. I dare not invest any more emotions in you. I admit that given our current situation, especially considering my family’s position, not getting divorced now would be the best option. But ifwe don’t get divorced, I’m afraid I’ll go mad first.” “Am I really that untrustworthy to you?” Ji Baijian asked her.

He asked her directly.

Song Zhizhi’s eyes turned somewhat red.

She had been suppressing her emotions for quite some time.

From the moment she watched Ji Baijian leave on the first morning, she’d been holding her emotions in check.

Then she waited for him at the Song Family compound for one day, two days, three days… By the fifth day, she had somewhat accepted the situation.

She thought perhaps Ji Baijian wasn’t too concerned about their marriage, and she was forcing herself not to care either. She thought she could calmly accept the dissipation of their marriage, but then, Ji

Baijian suddenly appeared again, unexpectedly entering her field of vision.

She replied, “I can’t trust.”

She answered him very clearly and precisely.

Ji Baijian’s face changed slightly.

Song Zhizhi went on, “You know everything about me but I know nothing about you. Is that fair?”

“What do you want to know?” Ji Baijian asked her.

In a very serious tone, he seemed particularly earnest at that moment.

“Can you answer everything I want to know?”

‘Yes.” Ji Baijian replied resolutely.

This caught Song Zhizhi off guard.

She assumed that Ji Baijian, like before, would evade her, reject her.

But at this moment, he straightforwardly gave her an answer.

She even thought she might have misheard.

“What, are you scared now?” Ji Baijian raised his eyebrows.

“Not scared,” Song Zhizhi replied, “I’m just wondering, why would you tell me all of a sudden?”

“Do you think I would lie to you?” Ji Baijian laughed, his laughter was beautiful and somewhat ironic, “Rest assured, Song Zhizhi, I may have kept many things from you in this lifetime, but I have never lied to you once. Everything I say is the truth.”

Song Zhizhi looked at Ji Baijian.

At this moment, she felt an inexplicable pressure in her heart.

It was clear that as long as she asked, Ji Baijian would tell her everything, and she would know the truth. But for some reason, she felt a bit sad at that moment.

Did Ji Baijian possess such abilities? Even at the point when everything could be brought to light, he could make her feel guilty and extremely distrustful, as if she was betraying their love by asking him.

Everything was something she should know.

Since they were already husband and wife, and they had already evolved from using each other to loving each other.

For her to Imow everything about him was only natural. She didn’t need to feel guilty, uneasy, or burdened by any psychological weight.

So at that moment, she asked.

She asked, “Ji Baijian, who are you?”
