Chapter 27 - No, I died (1)

After the sorrow and remorse passed, Ji Qingqing felt weighed down by her heavy mood.

Lu Lixing had died. This meant that she would have to face Lu Liting's revenge by herself.

If only the novel's Ji Qingqing hadn't been a money grubber that broke Lu Liting's heart in his youth.

The novel's Ji Qingqing truly had a miserable ending. She had been blacklisted, which led to her being poor and wretched. Pushed to a dead end, she ended up getting a job as a backup singer at a party. In front of everyone at the party, Lu Liting had ordered her to wipe the spilled red wine off of Shen Weiwei's shoes.

Right now, she occupied the identity of Mrs. Lu, so her position was slightly stronger the Ji Qingqing's position in the novel. However, once Lu Liting took over his family's business and became the boss of Tianyu Entertainment, he would have absolute power over her acting career. What would become of her then?

Ji Qingqing felt extremely troubled.

Having seen Lu Liting's hateful gazes, she guessed that he wouldn't easily let her off. While Elder Lu was still healthy, she should focus on earning money in the entertainment circle and leave here once she had made enough. She didn't want to be tormented by Lu Liting and his girlfriend, Shen Weiwei, in the future.

She would leave here and live out a quiet and peaceful life.

"Why couldn't you have tried harder to live? How could you just pass away like this? You so easily cut your ties to living world. Lu Liting is going to inherit your family's business that you worked so hard to build up. Tianyu Entertainment is going to fall into his hands tooo. Who knows what he's going to do to me as revenge for his girlfriend? I really don't want to suffer anymore. I've already eaten over twenty years of bitterness. I just want to eat something sweet...

As she thought of her life before she had transmigrated here, Ji Qingqing's eyes slightly reddened.

"I don't care anymore that there wasn't enough to eat when I was a kid. After I grew up, I wanted to buy a house for myself. But in the end, all of the money I saved up had to be used to pay off my younger brother's gambling debts. You know, I had already gotten to the point of touching the purchase contract on the house, but God was determined to torment me..."

Snot and tears dripped down Ji Qingqing's face. "What will I do if Lu Liting won't let me off? He'll be a CEO. How will I be able to get by? He's always accusing me of being a gold digger, but didn't he lie to me too? He's clearly a wealthy young master, but he pretended to be a poor fellow and deceived a young girl. How shameless!"

She got a headache as soon as she thought of the male lead and female lead's halos.

In the novel, Lu Liting had been a do-nothing guy for several years. During this time, he rarely came back to the Lu family's villa. Once Lu Lixing died in the novel, Lu Liting inherited the family's business and reaped the rewards from Lu Lixing's hard work. From then on, he didn't need to put in any effort and would still have a smooth sailing life.

Of course, this was merely the setting in a novel. Lu Lixing's existence was only for the purpose of strengthening the Lu family to a prestigious one that was reckoned to be one of the very best. His role in the story was merely to successfully create a dictatorial position for Lu Liting to inherit.

Ji Qingqing felt that Lu Lixing's hard work hadn't been worth it.

"You don't have to worry. Although there's no feelings between us, I'm still your nominal wife. I'll observe widowhood for you! Even though you're gone now, I'm still here. No one will forget that it was you that took on the heavy responsibility of making the Lu family's enterprise great. Why should he enjoy the sweet success of your hard work? My existence will be a reminder that you were the one that brought the Lu family's enterprise to great heights of success. It wouldn't have been possible without your hard work! I won't let the people in this seaside city only remember that bastard Lu Liting!"

"You can peacefully go to the next life. I'll pay a visit to your grave every year and burn incense and paper money for you."

Burn incense and paper money?

Underneath the blanket, Lu Lixing almost burst out in angry laughter from Ji Qingqing's words.
