Mister Li, the Heart Bandit

Ji Weixi led Jian Jie and the old lady to the car park outside the hospital, but Li Shaoling was still not in sight after a while.

Somehow, Lin Kai turned up eventually instead.

“Xiao Jie…”

His eyes were bloodshot and he approached them with a frustrated look.

Jian Jie pulled back despite her aching body, but there was also a little hope in her eyes.

“Xiao Jie, are you alright?”

With a loud slap, Lin Kai’s face went sideways, his eye circles turning red as he held his face while keeping his tears from flowing.

“Grandmother, I…”

“Don’t call me that! Disgusting! Now get lost before I kill you, and never come near Xiao Jie ever again!”

Lin Kai shook his head, while tears dropped from his eyes. “Grandmother, let me explain. I really didn’t mean it, I…”

“You didn’t mean it? You made Xiao Jie pregnant, and even called me, telling me to mind Xiao Jie so that she wouldn’t bother you. Why have you come now?!”

Knowing that the old lady is not going to spare him, Lin Kai turned to Jian Jie with a look as if he was wronged. “Xiao Jie… I was wrong. I’m a bastard, but I realized now that you’ve treated me the best in the whole world. That… that’s why I regret it now. Let’s start over again, okay?”

“Really?” Jian Jie was so moved by his words that her tears were flowing freely.

“Really!” Lin Kai had a loving look on his face. “Marry me, Xiao Jie, and then I-I will work hard to earn money! I love you! Promise that you’ll come back to me, alright?”

The old lady slapped him again, her face going pale as she pressed a hand over her chest. “Dream on!”

Indeed, Lin Kai’s change of attitude was too quick. Ji Weixi could tell that Jian Jie was already moved, and so pulled the old lady behind her before coldly asking Lin Kai a question.

“If I remember correctly, you said that you weren’t fated to be with Jian Jie just yesterday when you came to see her, that you would have to wait for the next life. And now here you are, asking her for a reconciliation. What are you actually thinking?”

Lin Kai’s eyes promptly fidgeted. “I-I found my conscience. I love Jian Jie and not Fang, so I… I…”

Ji Weixi sneered. “You got dumped.”

Lin Kai’s face dropped immediately. He did his best to deny it, but it was clear he was seen through.

“N-no way… I wasn’t dumped, I dumped her… I found that Xiao Jie was better to me, that’s why I…”

Ji Weixi heartlessly continued to expose him. “Just yesterday you were declaring over and over again that you love Fang and threw Jian Jie down the dumps. Would a scumbag like you even have a conscience?”

No longer able to keep a straight face, Lin Kai’s gaze darted from Jian Jie to the old lady, before he hanging his head in embarrassment and quietly said, “Yes, Fang dumped me… she doesn’t want me anymore…”

Still, he soon raised his head and quickly tried to explain himself. “But I didn’t come back to Xiao Jie because I was dumped! I really love her and think she’s nice to me! That’s why I came back!”

“Xiao Jie, I love you! I really love you! I really miss the four years—”

“Enough!”

Meanwhile, Jian Jie had completed broke apart and bawled, her voice breaking in turn. “I finally realized how stupid I’ve been, Lin Kai! To think I really thought that you have come back with a conscience. You only came back for me because Fang dumped you, and now you have no more help or money!”

Lin Kai tried all he could to deny it.

“That’s not true, Xiao Jie!” He cried, and turned to glare hatefully at Ji Weixi. “Don’t be fooled by this woman! We have been together four years, isn’t that more proof than her words!”

“Shut up!” Unable to stop herself, Jian Jie walked up and slapped him. “I see you for what you are now! All you can see is money and not people! You can’t be more selfish! Also, I heard everything you said when you came to the hospital yesterday!”

She paused for a moment before continuing despite Lin Kai’s shocked look. “All my affection over the last four years has gone to the dogs! I hope you could keep living off women as long as you can, and never get any children!”

Since Jian Jie had always been accepting and obedient towards Lin Kai, he was left bewildered with what she said today.

Crestfallen, he gaped at her blankly with wide eyes.

The old lady felt please that her granddaughter had finally seen through the scumbag too.

That said, it has been so long but Li Shaoling hasn’t returned.

What was going on?

A little impatient, Ji Weixi was about to call him when he slowly stepped out of the hospital, which had become a little noisy just now.

As ever, his face was inscrutable and he had a coldness that kept others at a thousand miles away.

Tall and refined, carrying his born noble air and solitude.

He walked up to them, and hugged Ji Weixi as if it was very natural.

However, she stiffened when she caught a whiff of the thick perfume swirling over his body, with many unhealthy scenes flashing through his mind.

Could he have gone off to…

Still, Li Shaoling lovingly pinched her cheeks when she saw the look on her face. “There’s a woman professing her love to me and sticking to me for quite some time, so I gave her a beating.”

Everyone was speechless.

They didn’t know that Li Shaoling found a pile of blob floating towards him while he had waited for Ji Weixi.

Saying that she had fallen in love with him at first sight or whatnot, and wanted to be with him.

Li Shaoling promptly gave her a major beating.

And that mysterious woman’s name was Fang!

On the other hand, Lin Kai was immediately frightened after being beaten up by Li Shaoling yesterday and still traumatized by it. Moreover, with Jian Jie no longer caring about him, he could only flee listlessly.

Jian Jie’s face was also paler than before, and Ji Weixi was a little worried about her health.

“Are you alright?” She asked. “Do you need another checkup?”

“I’m fine.” Jian Jie shook her head. “Let’s hurry back to River Town.”

***

Li Shaoling brought the old lady home first, and then drove back to River Town.

Jian Jie, however, could sense the awkward atmosphere in the car, and so carefully asked, “Excuse me, President Li… Miss Ji, may I ask where the two of you met?”

“A funeral.” Ji Weixi replied.

“Paris.” Li Shaoling replied.

Teamwork negative one hundred points.

Nonetheless, Ji Wei had no mood to explain at all, and simply leaned on the car window while looked outside—and since the car was passing by a graveyard just then, the words funeral’ simply left her mouth.

Be that as it may, Li Shaoling salvaged the situation with composure. “We met at a funeral in Paris.”

Jian Jie’s mouth twitched and she laughed dryly. “How… romantic.”

Most wouldn’t even have crafted such a story.

That was when Ji Weixi’s phone rang.

She looked at the caller to find that it was actually Mo Nanfeng.

He hadn’t contacted her since Mo Bin’s death.

Still, she answered it.

Mo Nanfeng’s voice was hoarse and he was panting in pain. “Weixi, where are you?”

“That’s none of your business.”

He laughed bitterly. “Do you still hate me?”

Ji Weixi kept quiet, while his voice seemed to quiver in torment. “Weixi… I-I’m dying… save me, please? I know I’ve done many bad things, but I really, really regret it now! My father has died, and you are the only one I have left in this world. It hurts… help me, please, Weixi…”
