Chapter 1664: Life is full of melodrama everywhere
The owner of this shop is Xie Hongjun, the father of Jiang Huaiyu’s child from her previous life.
In her past life, although Gu Dongxing married Jiang Huaiyu, the marriage was arranged by her father, and Jiang Huaiyu wasn’t the person he loved. Moreover, he had an urgent task the day after the wedding, and was gone for more than half a year. Jiang Huaiyu got entangled with Xie Hongjun, getting pregnant secretly. When Gu Dongxing returned home, he found his wife pregnant and realized Jiang Huaiyu had cheated on him, so he didn’t touch her. After he saw her give birth to someone else’s child, he was even less willing to be with his wife.
But he originally married her to repay a favor for his parents, and since her heart wasn’t with him, he didn’t care much and simply went home less frequently.
Jiang Huaiyu discovered that Xie Hongjun didn’t truly love her and wanted to go back, but realized her husband didn’t love her either and wouldn’t touch her, so she often picked fights with Gu Dongxing. Gu Dongxing always tolerated her helplessly, as long as she didn’t mention divorce, neither would he.
Jiang Huaiyu was reluctant to give up the status provided by Gu Dongxing, and there was also money from Leng Xiangyu. The two of them lived like this for decades.
Because of a child, Jiang Huaiyu and Xie Hongjun never completely broke ties before Mengyu’s reincarnation.
Mengyu sighed: In this lifetime, because of her reincarnation, many things seem to have changed, such as this Xie Hongjun.
She still remembers that Xie Hongjun’s father was sickly due to being entangled by his childhood engagement partner and went to see Mengyu for treatment. Mengyu revealed the source of his illness to Xie Hongjun’s father, who divorced Xie Hongjun’s mother to give justice to the childhood engagement partner.
After the divorce, Xie Hongjun’s mother blamed Mengyu for the divorce and wanted revenge, but because Mengyu had leverage on her, she demanded her son to avenge her.
Xie Hongjun’s mother’s most bizarre form of revenge was to have him pursue Jiang Mengyu, toy with her, and then cruelly abandon her.
Xie Hongjun agreed to his mother’s odd revenge plan against Jiang Mengyu because he heard that Jiang Mengyu was Gu Dongxing’s fiancée, and Gu Dongxing was the "model child" in parents’ mouths.
Without comparisons, there is no harm. Being hurt by comparisons often leads the child to develop a rebellious mindset.
Oh, so you are the famed "God of War," right? Since I can’t surpass you in other areas, then I will compete with you in charm—by luring your woman away.
As long as he managed to get Gu Dongxing’s woman, then he could boast: No matter how great you are, Gu Dongxing, your woman is still sleeping with me!
Thus, Xie Hongjun once pursued Mengyu for a time, but Mengyu paid him no mind, leaving him with no chance to woo her. He didn’t truly love Mengyu, and even if he developed some genuine feelings, after several rejections, especially after learning Mengyu’s background from Jiang Huaiyu, he felt it was rather unkind to manipulate such a pitiful girl, and thus he abandoned the revenge his mother had instructed him to carry out, returning to Capital City without troubling Mengyu further.
In the previous life, seeing Gu Dongxing achieve high success in the army, knowing he could never surpass him, Xie Hongjun switched to business, taking a lot of money from Jiang Huaiyu to invest, eventually becoming a successful businessman.
Mengyu truly hadn’t imagined this duck restaurant was owned by Xie Hongjun. Did he start his business ventures this early? Or was it that her reincarnator’s butterfly wings caused this storyline change, urging Xie Hongjun to venture into business early?
At this moment, upon seeing Xie Hongjun, Mengyu felt very emotional: Life truly is full of melodrama!
What shocked Mengyu even more was that Xie Hongjun is now a cultivator!
However, he’s only at Qi Refining Second Layer!
