[T/N: This chapter has some idioms which was difficult to put out but I tried making it as meaningful as possible]
World Five. Childhood sweetheart as ex husband
If there is one, another will follow.
[ T/N: (yu y ji yu r) : There is one and then there is two. (That is to say, once you start doing it, you will continue to do it in the future, which generally means that you make more mistakes)]
The couple, Xue Ning and Xi Lang, who had been married once for less than half a year, became entangled again as friends-with-benefits three years later.
Until Xi Lang met his true love, he began to go further and further on the road to death.
The name of his true love was Yang Keqing. She was neither beautiful nor in good-shape, at least compared to Xue Ning, she was really a woman who did not stand out of the crowd, but she was such a girl who attracted outstanding men from all walks of life, including Xi Lang.
Later, Xue Ning learned that Xi Lang's conflict with that person at the banquet was actually related to Yang Keqing.
It was just like the butterfly effect; a small detail finally set off earth shaking changes.
Xue Ning couldn't understand why a woman who seemed so ordinary to her could make Xi Lang fall in love without doing anything, and even abandon his reason and give up his dignity, just to fight for a chance to be with her.
Later, Xue Ning found the answer for herself that loving someone was something that could not be explained by common sense.
Like her feelings for Xi Lang.
But no matter how much she could not let go of Xi Lang, Xue Ning would not do anything that would make close people feel animosity towards her.
This was the last thing she could accept.
Yang Keqing's father owed a huge amount of gambling debts, and the creditor sent her to the bed of the underworld boss. Yang Keqing was unwilling to be manipulated by others, pretended to flatter, and finally found a chance to escape. With her only remaining savings, she came to a city in the South alone and got involved with many men, including Xi Lang.
Later, this gambling debt was paid off with the help of the men. Unexpectedly, the boss who had slept with Yang Keqing for a few nights never forgot about her and came to the South and joined the many men in the drama of vying for Yang Keqing's favor.
Among them, Xi Lang and the underworld boss had the best chance to win the heart of the woman, and they also regarded each other as their biggest enemy.
Xue Xue: "My, my so worthless , is this Yang Keqing suffering from Stockholm syndrome?"
Seeing this, Xue Xue finally couldn't help but express her opinion.
System: "Uhmaybe women are always impressed with their first man, just like a man."
Xue Xue: "Like imprinting?"
System: "Well, yes, you are very clever, dear."
Xue Xue: "Oh, thank you for the compliment."
Xue Xue: "But if that's the case, then why don't I have any impression of my first man?"
System: "That's why you were chosen as an excellent mission performer."
Xue Xue: "Well, not bad, this flattery is very good, I like it."
System: "Hey, don't worry, I will continue to learn how to be an excellent customer service."
Huh?
Why did this sound odd?
But before Xue Xue thought about it carefully, the jumping picture attracted her mind again.
It was in an abandoned warehouse.
The great heroes pursue the deer, and the outcome will distinguish the winner and the loser.
[T/N: (qnxingzhl): great heroes pursue deer in the central plains (idiom); fig. many vie for supremacy]
As the final winner, the lives of the underworld boss and Xi Lang were turned upside down by Yang Keqing.
In order to give Yang Keqing a stable life, the former gradually cleaned himself after the handover of gang affairs and through his previous connections, he stepped into the political arena, and unexpectedly achieved good results, but Xi Lang stepped deeper into the quagmire of the black forces.
And eventually went out of control.
Xue Ning found out that Xi Lang was secretly engaged in arms trading and suspected of drug trafficking, she had a big fight with the man.
When Xi Lang slammed the door and left, Xue Ning was disheartened.
She couldn't understand that because of a woman like Yang Keqing, Xi Lang had done things one after another, and didn't know how to reflect, but just kept making excuses to cover up for himself.
Was this still the man she has known since childhood?
What Xue Ning didn't expect was that one day Xi Lang's actions would cause her to lose her life.
A shipment.
Intercepted.
Set fire.
The key words that got into her ears intermittently made Xue Ning understand that she was going to be a scapegoat.
"Don't blame us. If you want to blame it, blame Xi Lang. He became a monk in the middle of the road, and he didn't have any morals to be in this kind of underworld secrets."
[T/N: (bnlchji): To become a monk halfway through; (metaphorically) changed careers to engage in some kind of work that is not suitable for one's own]
When her consciousness was getting lax, someone squatted down in front of Xue Ning.
"We originally planned to kidnap Yang Keqing, but unfortunately she was too well protected by Xi Lang and Wang Zhentao, so we had to settle for the second best and capture you."
The kidnapper's voice was very good. Xue Ning opened her eyes with great effort and saw a pair of beautiful and incredible peach blossom eyes.
The same peach blossom eyes as Xi Lang, but more incisive and gentle.
"If Xi Lang can hand over the code of the container before the time is up, we will let you go."
What if it was not handed over?
Xue Ning, whose eyelids were heavy, could not hold up any longer, and never woke up again.
Only vaguely, she seemed to hear the man's desperate cry of grief.
