Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance

Chapter 1341 - 881: Turning Point and New Pressure

Jiang Nian wasn’t actually in a low mood; it was simply that he hadn’t been doing anything, but now he wanted to go back and "do something."Staying in Yuhang made him a bit uneasy.

"I haven’t shown my face for a whole day, Qianqian’s probably overthinking, thinking I went to see Zhang Ningzhi."

"Haven’t checked in with Zhizhi all day either, she’s probably overthinking too. Thinking I ditched her and ran off to lick Qianqian’s boots."

"Mm....."

He felt like, at this moment, he was pure like some virgin boy, and desperate like Lu Guan’s Li Hua.

Speaking of which, what was Li Hua doing.

He video called; the other side declined in a second. Jiang Nian clicked his tongue and called four or five times in a row.

Li Hua: "..."

"What the hell do you want?"

The video finally connected, and all he could see was Li Hua’s big face. Not a bit of background showing, covered up tight.

"Middle of the day and you’re already throwing a party?" Jiang Nian said. "Openly debauched in broad daylight, have you no shame!"

"Chi Shi!!"

Li Hua glanced around. "Bro here is doing volunteer work, who the hell is as filthy as you."

"Still dating your girlfriend?" Jiang Nian asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Good, any plans to break up soon?" he said. "Bro, don’t let your life go too smoothly."

"Chi Shi, Chi Shi!!!" Li Hua snapped impatiently. "Ah, you dickhead, if you’ve got something to say, spit it out."

"I’m about to go, going out shopping with my girl."

Jiang Nian: "...."

"Why did you video call me, what exactly did you want to say? Why are you like this, don’t tell me you got dumped?"

"Chi Shi!!" Jiang Nian hung up the video.

People just aren’t what they used to be.

He tapped the table lightly, thinking about countermeasures. It was the end of freshman year, still a long way from graduation season.

No parents had been dragged in yet, and word hadn’t spread to their friends.

Mm...

But summer vacation was another story. Xu Qianqian had nowhere to go in Beijing. She’d definitely go home, and Xiao Song wouldn’t come to Yuhang either.

By then, his own mom was going to kick him right out of the house.

No, no, no, he wouldn’t live to see that day.

He got up and paced in the office, thinking to himself that he didn’t have that much time; he had to get this done before the end of the month.

Liu Rui walked by and glanced into the office.

"The boss really works hard, huh. So much going on in the whole company, and he has to think about it all by himself."

....

"Qianqian, he doesn’t seem to have come today."

"Mm."

"He probably went to Yuhang." Xiao Song’s tone was flat. "No idea if he brought his girlfriend along."

"That bastard!!" Xu Qianqian gritted her teeth when she heard that. "Next time I see him I’ll kick him to death."

"How many boats is he trying to stand on, does he think he’s an Emperor!"

"Ignore him for now." Xiao Song nodded in agreement. "He’s full of tricks."

"True, he’s probably cooking up some scheme right now." Xu Qianqian took a deep breath and said.

"Next time we see him, just spell it out. Cut it clean once and for all, don’t ever meet again."

"Okay."

Suddenly, a call came in from an out-of-town number. The location showed Yuhang, and the two girls immediately exchanged a look.

"Pick up?"

"Pick it up and see, let’s hear what he has to say."

A burst of static noise.

The moment it connected, the voice that came through first wasn’t Jiang Nian’s, but a strange man shouting.

"Boss!"

"You really can’t keep going, take a break, take a break. You’ve been up two days straight in the office, you can’t collapse!"

"Give me the phone." That was Jiang Nian’s tired voice.

"You really can’t, boss." Another unfamiliar voice. "Take a break, okay."

There was a commotion like chickens and dogs everywhere, and the call finally ended up in Jiang Nian’s hands again.

"Hello?"

The two girls: "...."

"What the hell are you doing!" Xu Qianqian snapped. "Jiang Nian, are you filming a TV drama over there?"

"No, isn’t this my phone?" Jiang Nian sounded dazed. "Must’ve dialed the wrong number."

"I was wondering how it even went through, thought I was dreaming."

The two of them were both secondhand embarrassed. This guy’s face was really thick. Without another word, they both hung up on him.

Right before hanging up, each cursed.

"Go to hell!"

"Scumbag!"

Beeeep!!!

In the office, Zhang Wei dropped his act and looked at Jiang Nian slumped in the chair, feeling all kinds of awkward.

"Ahem, boss, I’ll step out?"

"Mm, go."

Jiang Nian leaned back in the chair. The effect didn’t matter; what mattered was doing the move. If they picked up, that already counted as a win.

Main point was to report what he was doing.

And that he was alone.

After that, he called Yao Beibei. No need to put on a show this time; he just asked a few simple questions.

"Have you guys eaten?"

"Not yet, Zhizhi has no appetite." Yao Beibei said. "What are you calling for? Don’t call again."

"There’s some stuff at the company, I came to Yuhang these two days." Jiang Nian said. "Help me look after Zhizhi, thanks."

Bip!~ She hung up.

With the reporting done, Jiang Nian’s mood was still pretty decent. All three girls were ignoring him, which meant they were still mad.

That meant there was still a chance, he just had to keep working at it.

As for how he could stay so calm, first because he had multiple girlfriends, and second because there was nothing else he could do.

He couldn’t exactly go hang himself.

All he could do was stabilize things first, then slowly look for a breakthrough. On Zhizhi’s side, the breakthrough was actually simple.

Just promise that from now on he’d only be good to her.

Coax her a bit and they’d be back together in no time.

But that wasn’t realistic. And her parents didn’t approve either; they just couldn’t get along.

Zhizhi wasn’t a rebel; deep down she took family very seriously.

Which meant that, while the two of them were compatible, they also weren’t that compatible, easily leaving her torn between both sides.

Jiang Nian was a bit of a player, but as long as it stayed within the limits of what Zhizhi could accept, their relationship could still be salvaged.

After all, people always end up taking some middle ground.

So this really tested his skills.

The key was how to find a new balance after breaking the old one.

......

In late May, Jiang Nian returned to Beijing.

The apartment was empty and no one was living there; he tidied it up a bit and just moved in himself. Staying in the dorm was annoying anyway.
