Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance

Chapter 1349: Chapter 885: Turns Out It Was Just Put Away

Touching down in Zhenan, it’s already evening.

Without telling anyone, Jiang Nian quietly returned home. Like a big rat, he sneaked into the living room.

The Old Jiang couple, who were watching TV, were all stunned.

"What just came in?"

"You must be seeing things."

"Mom, I’m back." Jiang Nian grinned and put down his bag, "Home for a couple of days to rest."

Li Hongmei: "???"

Old Jiang: "Your son is back."

"He’s not my son!" Li Hongmei got angry and stood up, "What’s going on with you and Qianqian?"

"What do you mean, what’s going on?" Jiang Nian played dumb.

He guessed that Xu Qianqian hadn’t said anything; otherwise, his mom wouldn’t have acted like this and would have taken action long ago.

"Hiss~~~I’m feeling a bit tired all of a sudden. I’ll go take a shower first, and if there’s nothing urgent, I’ll go to sleep."

Saying that, he made a quick getaway.

Returning home was the first step, so far it was a temporary success. At least he wasn’t kicked out and could come back.

After washing up, Jiang Nian lay on his bed. Staring at the familiar ceiling, a thought popped into his head.

Should he go next door?

The double-win strategy...

Jiang Nian thought about it; the double-win strategy wasn’t very realistic. If they couldn’t be a couple, at least they shouldn’t become enemies.

In this regard, he was quite liberal.

After all, in the system simulation, twenty years of time also passed in confusion.

Unable to accept his matchmaker’s fate, it’s okay. As long as he can accept himself, he will stay by his side.

Life is broad, and marriage is not the only path.

Knock, knock, knock.

The sound of knocking on the door echoed, but there was no response for half a minute. It was not until he knocked again that the door finally opened.

Xu Qianqian glanced at him, her expression complicated.

"You’re back?"

"Mm." Jiang Nian nodded.

In fact, at the beginning of the month, the two girls had also gone to Guangzhou. They had just returned after another trip to Yuhang a few days ago.

This could only be described as quite "Xu Qianqian-like." No matter what, she would never wallow in self-pity or be stagnant.

Estimates suggested that President Xu was about to awaken early.

"It’s so late, why are you here?" Xu Qianqian stood at the doorway, showing no intention of letting him in.

"I came to apologize."

"No need."

Jiang Nian: "..."

As he was finding a reason, Song Xiyun walked over to the entryway. Standing behind Xu Qianqian, she spoke in a low voice.

"It’s very late, let him in first."

"Don’t disturb the neighbors."

With Xiao Song’s "intervention," Xu Qianqian finally relented. She gave him a cold glance and turned to head inside.

"Where are the slippers?" he asked.

"Thrown away."

"...Alright." Jiang Nian simply kicked off his shoes and stepped barefoot on the floor, not appearing too stiff.

Entering through the door, the atmosphere grew even colder.

Silently, he reminded himself that he had brought this upon himself. There was no escaping it, no delaying it, at some point he had to face it.

After a while, the two women sat across from him.

Xu Qianqian wore a loose apricot-colored T-shirt with a denim miniskirt; her pale, slender legs were crossed together.

Song Xiyun dressed more simply, wearing a loose off-white T-shirt paired with a dark grey skirt.

Both women were dressed casually; they had indeed returned for several days.

"Speak."

"Mm." Jiang Nian didn’t play the affection card but replied honestly, "I’m sorry, it’s my fault."

The two women remained unmoved, waiting for his next sentence.

"To be honest, it’s all my fault. Out of greed, I deceived all of you."

He racked his brain to come up with these words. Too sincere seemed fake, too stiff seemed insincere.

Say the right thing at the right stage.

Upon hearing this, the two women glanced at him. They expected him to find an excuse but hadn’t thought he would just admit it.

"So what now?"

If it were someone else, they might have started making promises or pleading for another chance by now.

Jiang Nian made no promises and didn’t continue the conversation. He was prepared and smoothly changed the subject.

"So...I also want to thank you for not telling my mom about our breakup."

Hearing this, Xu Qianqian and Song Xiyun were stunned, realizing that even getting into Beijing University wasn’t as challenging as reading this sentence.

You two, our breakup.

Two people, three people, right?

"Stop it." Song Xiyun turned her head, her face instantly turning red, "Just stick to the main topic."

Xu Qianqian, annoyed, spoke even more directly.

"Get out!"

Jiang Nian was also shameless and really patted his pants and walked out. After reaching the doorway, he came back in.

"This counts as the second time."

Xu Qianqian: "..."

Song Xiyun: "....."

Two pillows flew past, one after another. Jiang Nian caught them steadily, and none of them fell to the ground.

Just as he was about to speak, two slippers came flying towards him.

"Hey, hey!!"

He couldn’t dodge in time and was "hit" by the slippers on his body, "Forget it, I’ll come back tomorrow."

Heading out the door.

Jiang Nian didn’t go back home; he put on his shoes and slowly went downstairs. It was late at night, and the alley was dimly lit.

He didn’t have a smoking habit, so he went downstairs for a walk.

The night breeze blew through, and the old buildings groaned. Every brick and tile was extraordinarily familiar; he hadn’t realized how old they had gotten.

"Damn, time to buy a house."

Just after saying this, he suddenly had the impulse to buy a pack of cigarettes. Although he didn’t smoke, isn’t that how it always played out in TV shows?

In the end, he bought nothing.

He just wandered around, eventually arriving at the school gate, staring blankly at the dark Zhenan Middle School for a while.

Walking alone along the road to home, he took a slow, leisurely stroll.

....

The next day.

Early in the morning, Jiang Nian arranged to have breakfast with Xu Shuang because the two women were still sleeping in, not having gotten up yet.

He was only staying for two days, and with nothing else to do, might as well keep busy.

The breakfast shop.

"I heard you secured funding?" Xu Shuang asked casually as she sat down, "How much can you get?"

"Not yet, just a possibility."

"Oh~~"

Xu Shuang nodded, casually asking, "I don’t know much about funding, but I have some spare cash over here."

"No need." Jiang Nian said speechlessly, "You’re so materialistic, why is everything about money with you?"
