My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 534: Chapter 533: Don’t Run Away in This Life Again (First Update)

In the room.

Ji Baijian was just staring at Song Zhizhi.

He said, “Did you come back to divorce?”

Song Zhizhi laughed, “No.”

No?!

Ji Baijian still didn’t dare to let any relaxed emotions show.

He didn’t believe that Song Zhizhi could have understood things so quickly or let go of her grudges against him.

He could only watch her like this.

Watching Song Zhizhi confidently walk into the house, she stood not far from him, both of them just facing each other.

It lasted for a while.

Song Zhizhi told Ji Baijian, “I’m tired.”

Ji Baijian’s eyebrows lifted slightly.

Song Zhizhi said, “I’m going to bed.”

Without any explanations or mention of what had happened before, she showed up in front of him as though nothing had happened and then walked away just as casually.

He watched Song Zhizhi’s back as she went upstairs.

He was very clear that Song Zhizhi was no longer the Song Zhizhi he used to know.

He didn’t follow her upstairs.

Song Zhizhi returned to their bedroom.

She looked at the familiar scene before her. She walked to the Sky Garden outside, and looked at the countless cigarette butts in the ashtray in the garden.

She remembered, Ji Baijian had quit smoking.

But now, he had started smoking recklessly again.

Her throat contracted slightly, revealing emotions she couldn’t speak out. She made herself look indifferent, indifferently re-entering the room.

In the room, Ji Baijian suddenly appeared in front of her.

Song Zhizhi watched him.

When Ji Baijian didn’t smile, even though he was handsome, he would give off a cold aura, making people dare not approach him.

She said, “I’m going to take a shower…”

Her arm was forcibly pulled by Ji Baijian.

Song Zhizhi’s arm ached.

Ji Baijian was very strong.

She furrowed her eyebrows.

“Why did you come back? Didn’t you say you didn’t trust me anymore? Didn’t you feel that I’m useless to you now?” Ji Baijian leaned close to her cheek and asked her harshly.

She could even feel Ji Baijian’s breath beating against her face, somewhat hot.

She didn’t get a chance to open her mouth.

All of a sudden, Ji Baijian kissed her lips.

“Um.”

Song Zhizhi’s heart skipped a beat.

But Ji Baijian didn’t seem to allow her any chance to breathe or talk.

The night seemed endless.

She only heard Ji Baijian say, “Song Zhizhi, since you came back yourself, never try to escape from me again in this lifetime…”

Never again!

The next day.

Song Zhizhi got up.

Ji Baijian was already gone from their bed.

Last night.

They didn’t really do anything.

Ji Baijian didn’t force her.

She went into the bathroom, washed her face and brushed her teeth.

Just as she picked up her toothbrush and rinsed her mouth twice.

“Ugh…” Song Zhizhi couldn’t help but vomit.

It was the same every day.

Usually, it was alright, but once she had something irritating in her mouth, she’d completely lose control.

She endured it, she tried hard to withstand it, but she still couldn’t control it.

There was a knock on the bathroom door from outside.

Song Zhizhi had locked the door.

Covering her mouth, she tried to control her gagging. She tried to suppress the churning in her stomach.

She wiped herself clean, patted her somewhat pale cheeks, and opened the main bathroom door.

Ji Baijian looked somewhat upset. His expression instantly turned cold when he saw her, but his gaze never left her.

Song Zhizhi said, “I needed to use the washroom.”

“Come downstairs for breakfast.”

After tossing out a sentence, Ji Baijian turned around and walked away.

It seemed he hadn’t noticed anything unusual about her.

Song Zhizhi pursed her lips and watched his back.

She gently touched her abdomen and then quickly proceeded to wash and change her clothes to prepare for work.

Downstairs, Ji Baijian was sitting in the dining room waiting for her to have breakfast.

It seemed like they had gone back to the old days, when they were sweet and warm to each other.

She took a glance at the breakfast on the table; it was very rich and included all her favorites.

But at that moment, she didn’t go over.

She said, “I’m in a rush to go to work, you can take your time eating.”

Ji Baijian didn’t answer, but he didn’t stop her either.

So Song Zhizhi left like that.

She just found her appetite lacking in the mornings. In the morning, whatever she eats, she would immediately throw up.

Ji Baijian watched Song Zhizhi’s back.

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

A cold smile.

Song Zhizhi left the house and entered the elevator.

Now that she was completely out of Ji Baijian’s sight, she still felt a burning gaze on her, making her chest tight, as if she was having difficulty breathing.

She took a deep breath.

The elevator door suddenly opened at the next level.

Song Zhizhi saw Luo Xiaolang walking in with a small tiger in her arms.

Luo Xiaolang looked at Song Zhizhi with a hint of surprise.

She asked, “Song Zhizhi, you’re back?”

Song Zhizhi nodded, “I just came back last night.”

“Oh. Are you okay now?” It was rare for Luo Xiaolang to show concern for others.

“I’m doing well. You can’t bring back the dead, I’ve figured that out.” Song Zhizhi laughed.

“That’s good.” Luo Xiaolang nodded.

“Why didn’t you go to compete?” From her memory, wasn’t Luo Xiaolang competing in a national competition? Or had she missed something?

“I finished the domestic competitions. Because of the small tiger, I decided not to join the international competitions.” Luo Xiaolang explained.

“I see.” Song Zhizhi murmured.

During this time, she hadn’t had a chance to concern herself with other peoples’ affairs.

She thought.

One day, these days will come to an end.

She shifted her gaze to the small tiger in Luo Xiaolang’s arms.

Unbeknownst to her, the small tiger was already seven months old.

A seven-month-old child was totally different from when it was just born.

She reached out to play with the little tiger.

The little tiger blinked its big eyes at her, seemingly unfamiliar with her. In the moment when Song Zhizhi felt a bit disappointed, the little tiger suddenly smiled at her.

At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world had burst into bloom!

“The little tiger smiled,” Song Zhizhi said excitedly.

“It smiles whenever it sees someone it likes,”.

“Really?” Song Zhizhi wanted to hold the little tiger.

At that moment, they arrived on the first floor of the elevator.

Xiaolang held the little tiger and wandered around the neighborhood.

Song Zhizhi felt a little regretful, but considering her physical condition, she didn’t insist.

Xiaolang seemed to see what was on Song Zhizhi’s mind and said, “I am home every day, you can come downstairs to see the little tiger whenever you want.”

“Okay.”

Luo Xiaolang is not the type of person who likes to linger in emotional matters, so after saying this, she walked away.

Song Zhizhi went to the garage downstairs.

She sat in the car while Ziming drove her to Commercial Management.

At this moment, her mind was full of images of the little tiger’s innocent smile.

Is it possible…

She couldn’t help but touch her belly.

Could she also experience such happiness one day?

Her throat moved slightly.

She told herself not to overthink.

Ziming looked at Song Zhizhi in the rearview mirror, who seemed deep in thought, and asked, “Have you eaten breakfast yet?”

“I haven’t eaten,” Song Zhizhi replied, “Because you were afraid that Ji Baijian would find out something.”

“I’ll buy you breakfast later.”

“Thank you, Brother Ziming.”

Ziming smiled slightly.

He was actually relieved that only he knew about Song Zhizhi’s physical condition!

…

Luo Xiaolang held the little tiger and played in the neighborhood for a while.

The little tiger, having been fed, insisted on going out if he wasn’t sleeping.

Now, Wu Meili and Luo Xiaolang took turns taking him out to play until he was tired and fell asleep.

Xiaolang finally got the little tiger to sleep.

She returned home, gently placed him on the bed, and then went back to the living room. After hesitating for a while, she turned on the live stream.

Today was the first international competition, the first ranked game with thirty-six teams.

After a long wait, she finally saw Joe’s team make their entrance.

The cheering was deafening.

Many domestic fans had traveled to cheer them on in person.

Luo Xiaolang watched the fiery atmosphere at the scene, feeling a hint of regret.

She smiled faintly and watched calmly, never regretting her own decisions.

Wu Meili finished her chores and couldn’t help but interrupt upon seeing Luo Xiaolang watching the live stream, “Xiaolang, you should also participate in the competition and win a world championship. Otherwise, people will always look down on you, especially the young master and Miss Ji. They think they’re very important because they were born in the Ji family and look down on you everywhere!”

“I’m not living for them, whether they respect me or not, I don’t mind at all.”

“But I do mind! I don’t know why Miss Ji feels so superior, and why she thinks she’s better than you. I really think that you are much prettier than her when you dress up. Is the young master blind?”

“Enough, let’s not talk about them anymore.”

“Look at you, always so accommodating. Miss Ji doesn’t think you’re a good person at all, and always acts as if she’s always right. If I were you, I wouldn’t tolerate this. I would probably get the young master back and piss her off!”

Luo Xiaolang had never considered getting back together with Yin Qin.

She said, “Wu Meili, I really don’t want to hear their names anymore.”

Wu Meili could tell that Luo Xiaolang was truly sick of these two people and swallowed all the words she had wanted to say.

Luo Xiaolang focused her attention on the livestream.

Whenever she heard the names Yin Qin and Ji Baixing, she became easily irritated and distracted.

She had no idea how long it would take for these two to completely disappear from her heart.

She focused her attention and her mood was quickly caught up in the tension of the livestream.

She held her breath as she watched the actions of Joe’s team.

Obviously…

They were not performing well.

Some obvious errors that could be clearly seen even with the naked eye.

According to Joe’s team’s standards, these basic errors should not have occurred at all. Their opponents even thought they were pretending, but in fact, it was just a lack of coordination and tacit understanding.

In the first ranked match, they lost two out of three games, resulting in only 3 points.

As a result, unless they win all three games in the second ranked match and get 9 points, they won’t be able to qualify, meaning they won’t be able to continue competing.

The audience didn’t expect such an outcome.

According to Joe’s team’s skills, there should have been no suspense in the first ranked match.

Their performance was so poor that an audience member even lost his temper at them, shouting at Joe’s team, “What kind of crap are you playing? Are you even responsible?”

There were many similar outbursts, “Are you here to embarrass us, your countrymen?”

“If you don’t have the skills, get back to our country and train properly, don’t disgrace us here!”

Not only was the onsite audience cursing furiously.

The live chatroom was also filled with complaints.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

The live chatroom was flooded with curse words.

Luo Xiaolang couldn’t stand it any longer, so she closed the livestream.

She felt that the state of Joe’s team had a lot to do with her.

During the domestic competition, she had built up a strong rapport with all of them. Now that she had left halfway, many things were out of rhythm.

She suddenly thought of what Joe had said to her the night before he left, that he wanted to give her a world championship medal.

Joe must be under a lot of pressure at this moment.

She took a deep breath, stood up from the sofa, and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room.

It seemed like she was also silently adjusting her mood.

Meanwhile…

At Yin Qin’s office in the Milky Way company.

Yin Qin was also watching the match, and in the end, he was so agitated as a fan that he smashed his phone!

What the hell were they playing?!

He felt he could play better than them!

It was an insult to his intelligence as an Esports fan!

He was furious.

Wu Meili rushed into the office after hearing the noise, only to see the broken phone on the floor, “Mr. President, what happened?”

“Nothing.”

“How did your phone end up on the floor?”

“I smashed it!”

“Why did you smash your phone?”

“Because I felt like it.”

“…” If you’re rich, you can do whatever you want.

Wu Meili didn’t dare to say anything else, she turned around and walked out dejectedly.

Just as she was leaving, she saw the president storm out of the office even faster than she did!

Did he forget to take his medicine before he left the house today?!
