Chapter 153 - Oh, Someone’s Wife is Here
“I went to Yin Qingyu’s house last night and I gave her two tight slaps across her face. I am certain that she must be thinking about what videos to release to the public today. I am afraid that I will implicate you in this matter,” Vera replied. She looked extremely pale because she had a restless night after she finally discovered the truth.
“You are afraid that you would implicate me? Since you are so agitated, I believe that you have finally found out that Yin Qingyu is not really your benefactor, am I right?”
Vera nodded her head lightly as she replied, “Yes. She was not the one who had called the police. Your assumption is right. She was merely there to enjoy the show, while I had misunderstood and thought that she was my benefactor instead.”
Jiang Yuning listened to Vera before she asked Sister Liang to pour her a glass of water. “The good thing is that, now that you know the truth, you do not need to hold back and be courteous to her anymore!”
“Yin Qingyu can be so arrogant because we have not caught hold of her weakness yet. She knows of yours, and she knows that you feel as though you owe her your life because you have always thought of her as your benefactor. However, you need to think properly. Do you know what her weakness is? Even if you slap her, it would only relieve your anger temporarily. To truly defeat someone like her, you need to find out her greatest weakness, then trample on it and destroy her completely. That is the only way for you to finally be happy.”
“I really need to think about what her weakness is. I really want to destroy her. I have never felt more certain about bringing someone down,” Vera replied after listening to Jiang Yuning’s words. Her hatred for Yin Qingyu was really overpowering at the moment.
Vera could either choose to dodge her completely or to counterattack relentlessly.
“You can go and look for my brother later in the afternoon. Both of you can exchange some useful information so that we can finally figure out a way to completely destroy Yin Qingyu.”
“Alright, I know what to do now,” Vera replied.
...
At the Royal Dragon Villa in the afternoon, Jiang Yuning was about to go out to register her marriage to Lu Jingzhi. She stood in front of the mirror as she tried on several different dresses before she finally decided on a long white dress. This was because she felt that the white dress brought out a subtle wedding mood.
Though Lu Jingzhi had been waiting for her in the car outside the villa for the past half an hour, he did not rush her at all.
“Mistress, it is already time to leave the house,” Sister Liang reminded Jiang Yuning, already addressing her as the mistress of the house even before she had registered her marriage.
Jiang Yuning was extremely happy when she heard Sister Liang addressing her as such.
She quickly headed downstairs and got into the car immediately.
Lu Jingzhi was wearing a full suit with a pair of shoes as usual and there was no difference in his expression as compared to any other day. Jiang Yuning was the only person who knew how nervous Lu Jingzhi was because she was holding onto his hand on the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau and his palms were all sweaty.
“Second brother, please hold on tightly to me later. I am afraid that I might pass out because I am so excited right now,” Jiang Yuning said to Lu Jingzhi before they stepped out of the car.
“We will not be able to get married today if you faint,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he held her hand.
“What should I do then?” Jiang Yuning asked miserably. “I was not joking when I told you that it has always been my dream to get close to you and be in a relationship with you. Now that I am finally getting married to you, I feel so lightheaded, as though I am stuck in a dream right now.”
Lu Jingzhi took this opportunity to kiss Jiang Yuning on her lips since she was already so nervous anyway.
The driver did not dare to turn around to look at both of them and he could only look straight ahead as he stopped the car.
“Are you...back in reality now?”
Jiang Yuning blushed immediately.
“I...”
Lu Jingzhi led Jiang Yuning out of the car before she could even finish her sentence.
“Hurry up, Mrs. Lu. If we delay it any further, we would run into other people.”
Lu Jingzhi headed straight to the special passage in the Civil Bureau Affairs department due to his special identity. He had specially arranged for them to sign the papers during lunchtime to avoid the crowd.
The process was faster than they had initially expected. It only took them a few minutes to fill up the application form and review all the information there. Jiang Yuning felt as though she was about to cry when she received the bright red book containing their marriage certificate.
“I did not expect that it would be so easy to become Mrs. Lu.”
“Easy?” Lu Jingzhi was obviously dissatisfied with Jiang Yuning’s statement. “You are the only Mrs. Lu out of six billion people in the whole world and you think that is easy?”
“I did not mean it like that. I am just saying that the process of getting married really is simple,” Jiang Yuning replied as she opened the bright red book and looked at their marriage certificate over and over again. “I am Mrs. Lu. I am Mrs. Lu Jingzhi. Second brother, we are finally officially husband and wife now. You are my husband and I am your wife. I finally have the right to stand beside you...”
Lu Jingzhi kissed her on the forehead and tried to take the bright red book from her hands, but she immediately stopped him.
“I will keep this safe. If you keep this, I would not be able to take it out and have a look at it whenever I want to.”
Lu Jingzhi smiled before he replied, “What if I want to look at it too?”
“Then...we can both look at it when we are in bed at home.” After that, Jiang Yuning took a picture of the marriage certificate because she was about to join the cast and she knew that it was impossible to bring such an important document along with her.
If she had a picture of it, she could lock the picture in her photo gallery and then look at it whenever she wanted to.
“By the way, can we keep our marriage a secret from Grandpa Lu for a little while more? I am afraid that he would not be happy and I do not want him to misunderstand me since I had just annulled my engagement with Lu Zongye not too long ago.”
“I will just do whatever you want to do.” Lu Jingzhi did not care about such small matters.
If she wanted to make it public, she could make it public. If she wanted to keep it confidential, then they would keep it confidential. All that mattered to him was the fact that she was already his wife. Even if his grandfather would scold him later, she was still his wife.
“Second brother, you are mine from now on. I promise that I will take good care of you.”
Lu Jingzhi did not say anything after listening to Jiang Yuning’s words. He simply hugged her before he said, “I would already be satisfied if you could just stay out of trouble.”
After dropping Jiang Yuning back at the villa, Lu Jingzhi headed to the National Defence Building immediately because he had to attend a very important meeting in the afternoon. On the other hand, Jiang Yuning did not waste any time and quickly gave Vera a phone call to ask her if she was at Ku Jie’s secret headquarters right now.
At this time, Vera and Ku Jie were exchanging all the information that they knew about Yin Qingyu.
“My understanding of her is nothing more than what a classmate would know, so it might be better for you to share any information that you have on her first,” Ku Jie said as he sat in front of Vera.
“She is from a rich family, but she usually obtains her money using despicable means. I know this because there have been several occasions where I have heard her using her depression as an excuse to ask for money from her family. She is very promiscuous and she has had many different boyfriends in the past. To be honest, I do not know that much about her, but I do know that the one thing that she cannot let go of...is you.”
“If that is the case, then we need to investigate her background,” Ku Jie replied. He did not want to waste any time making any more baseless assumptions. He got up from his chair immediately before saying, “I do not want to be the only thing that garbage is holding on to.”
“I guess I can probably understand why she cares so much about you. Amongst all of her boyfriend, you are the only one who has acted so indifferent towards her and in the end, you were the only one who had broken up with her. That is why she refuses to let you go.”
“Well, then she had better be ready because I am going to let her suffer a fate worse than death soon,” Ku Jie replied as he turned on his laptop. After a short while, he found the contact details of his foreign friends and he quickly made a video call to them. “Please help me to find out the personal information of this person as soon as possible.”
“Alright then. Just give me the name of the person. I will get back to you in six hours. Old rules, old price,” the American man replied over the video call.
“Done.”
Jiang Yuning eventually arrived at Ku Jie’s secret headquarters and at this time, Vera and Ku Jie were both anxiously waiting for news from Ku Jie’s American friends.
“Oh, someone’s wife is here.”
Well, what a strange atmosphere.
