Chapter 39 A Qualified Ex 1
"Xiaoyue, can you please stop being unreasonable? You can't prevent me from having contact with my family just because you don't have any. Think about it, is what you're doing right..."
Before her ex-boyfriend on the other end of the phone could finish speaking, Wen Pingyue hung up and blocked him.
What kind of nonsense is this? They've forgotten their own limitations before even having a sip of alcohol.
Although the original owner, Wen Pingyue, lost her parents at a young age, she grew up under the care of her aunt Wen Yu and uncle Gu Yuanlin. After she came of age, she successfully took over the inheritance left by her parents.
The idiot who spoke on the phone just now is Yu Xiaoji, the mentally challenged ex-boyfriend of the original owner who has already broken up with her.
Three months into their relationship, Yu Xiaoji's niece, Xia Xian, arrived.
It happened to be summer vacation, and Xia Xian, a high school student, didn't even go to tutoring classes. Instead, she went on dates with Yu Xiaoji every day, ostensibly to check on her uncle's girlfriend.
They have to squeeze into the middle when walking, sit next to each other when eating, drink the same milk tea, and even when sitting on the sofa, they can't help but pinch and play with each other...
If she doesn't go out with me, she must be up to no good.
Including but not limited to being afraid of thunder at night and trying to put her to sleep, being afraid to take a taxi home after having a late-night snack with classmates, needing to lie on her lap on the sofa or she'll start whimpering, taking photos wearing the clothes the original owner gave to Yu Xiaoji as pajamas, painfully delivering medicine, making her lunch before a date, and driving halfway around the city in the dark to buy barbecue...
Yu Xiaoji is truly acting as both an older brother and a father figure...
Sometimes the original owner even wondered who the orphan really was...
Yu Xiaoji stated that he had raised his niece since she was a child, and their bond was extraordinary. As her girlfriend, Wen Pingyue wanted to help care for Xia Xian. Joining the Yu family would allow the original owner of this body, an orphan, to experience the warmth of family.
The original owner thought her boyfriend was crazy and didn't agree with him, since she didn't necessarily want to be in this relationship.
Who knew that the original owner's lack of reaction would infuriate Xia Xian, who had been deliberately showing off her good relationship with her uncle. She had thought that this old woman would get angry, so that she could criticize the other woman for having a bad temper.
Less than a day later, Yu Xiaoji's family called. Coincidentally, the phone switched to speakerphone mode. They kept saying that the original owner was too cold to his niece and must be ill-mannered and without parents.
The two were sitting in a café near the school gate talking.
The original owner was unhappy about dating this weirdo and planned to find an excuse to break up with him.
As a result, she overheard how foul-mouthed Yu Xiaoji's family was, raised her hand and gave Yu Xiaoji three hard slaps, then broke up with him and turned to leave.
Because the incident occurred in public, many people heard the idiotic remarks made by Yu Xiaoji's parents, but there were no rumors or gossip about the original owner.
……
Wen Pingyue's eyelids started twitching after reading the original owner's memories.
Yu Xiaoji and Xia Xian are really troublesome.
In her previous life, the original owner ignored Yu Xiaoji's family after their breakup. Later, Yu Xiaoji allowed Xia Xian to spread rumors about his ex-girlfriend at school, so the original owner called the police and hired a lawyer.
Because of this, the Yu family came to the school several times to make a scene, saying that the original owner was too ruthless in her relationship and wished she could send her boyfriend's family to prison.
She said it was still a bit far from the prison.
Yu Xiaoji, feeling he had to endure humiliation, loudly announced through a megaphone at school: as long as the original owner didn't pursue his niece, he, Yu Xiaoji, was willing to marry into Wen Pingyue's family and have her give birth to the Wen family's heir...
His speech was recorded in its entirety and posted online, even making it to the tail end of the trending topics list...
This behavior of taking advantage of others' generosity made their school a laughingstock among students from other schools for a long time...
The original owner didn't respond to anything, just wore a mask to school every day, and after graduation, the Yu family couldn't find the original owner anymore and went crazy.
*
The original owner's wish was simple: to protect her aunt and uncle. In her previous life, they died in a car accident, leaving only her cousin Gu Qinglan to depend on her. Later, her cousin left the place of sorrow and went abroad alone.
As for the Yu family, who are like cockroaches, just lock them up.
The system indicated it would strike first, gathering evidence of Yu Xiaoji's family's harassment of the original owner after the breakup, and posted it on the university forum to warn classmates to avoid this boyfriend... Now you can even avoid boyfriend pitfalls, huh...
After the post was published, the system then used multiple accounts to reply to the post.
Pretending to be a helpful passerby, they posted photos of the original owner being ostracized during a three-person date in the comments; pretending to be Xia Xian's classmate, they exposed Xia Xian's alternate account and insulted the original owner; pretending to be a neighbor, they talked about the complicated relationships within the family…
Because of its experience, it quickly boosted the post's popularity.
……
The car accident was clearly orchestrated by someone, and the original owner only found out the basics before his death.
The original owner's aunt and uncle will have an accident in March of next year, but it cannot be ruled out that someone may have tried to sabotage them before then, but failed.
Since the original owner's aunt only had the original owner as a relative, the system thoroughly investigated the family background of Uncle Gu.
Gu Yuanlin is from the Gu family in Qing City. His parents came from equally prominent families. After his mother passed away, his father remarried without hesitation, and his grandfather turned a blind eye. However, thanks to his stepmother, Ms. Ruan, the relationship between father and son became extremely strained. After contacting his maternal grandfather, Gu Yuanlin sold his shares in the Gu family business at a high price and returned to his mother's hometown, Yun City.
With the full support of his maternal grandfather and others, Gu Yuanlin quickly built up a fortune in Yun City, then got married and had children as planned, and a few years later, he had another child.
The system investigation confirmed that the culprit was the Gu family from Qing City, who had been plagued by the plague. The original owner was unable to find them because she was interfered with by the female lead's halo.
Hearing this, Wen Pingyue felt that she should go back to her family home first.
……
Outside of their personal lives, Wen Yu and Gu Yuanlin are both workaholics and adore each other when they work overtime.
Upon learning that Wen Pingyue was coming back today, Wen Yu and his uncle Gu Yuanlin unusually returned home early and even had Aunt Li cook a table full of everyone's favorite dishes.
The room was brightly lit, and the atmosphere was as harmonious as ever.
Before Wen Pingyue could even change her shoes after entering the room, she smelled the rich aroma of food, and the system began to announce the names of the dishes in her mind.
Without changing her expression, she greeted everyone as if she were the original owner of the body, then sat down next to her aunt Wen Yu, taking the opportunity to slap the peace talisman and the backlash talisman into the bodies of the three of them.
After she was seated, she took out three gift boxes containing gifts prepared for the original owner's aunt and her family.
"Pingyue, you went to the antique street again?"
"Hehehe, yes! Aunties, do you like it?"
"How could Auntie not like it?"
One of the original owner's hobbies was occasionally going to the antique market to find some nice handicrafts.
I don't know if it's good judgment or luck, but I've never been ripped off, and I've even accidentally bought some genuine modern items.
However, what Wen Pingyue gave away as gifts were items from her spatial storage.
She happened to have stockpiled a lot of ancient items from the last world, so she didn't need to rummage through the old shelves.
The box given to the original owner's aunt, Wen Yu, contained a string of court beads, while the gift for her uncle was a bamboo-shaped jade pendant.
Little cousin Gu Qinglan had already taken many photos of Yingluo in the box and posted them on her WeChat Moments.
Then she took Wen Pingyue's little hand and shook it.
"Cousin, take me with you next time! Let me share in your good luck!"
Unable to resist her adorable cousin's coquettish advances, Wen Pingyue could only quickly nod in agreement.
After they finished talking, the food was served.
Gu Qinglan and Wen Pingyue were in sync, their chopsticks never leaving their hands, their bellies round from eating, and they sat at the table burping.
Aunt Li was terrified, fearing that the two of them would suffer from indigestion.
Wen Yu and her husband ate and chatted, but the topic unexpectedly veered towards work.
