Chapter 137: Determination And Ambition

Chapter 137: Determination And Ambition

Lin Wuyang’s wife, Fang Wenxiu, lived up to her name as a delicate and slender woman. When she arrived at Chu Ge’s house and saw the tall and burly Lin Wuyang sleeping there like a dead pig, she felt somewhat at a loss.

“This person, he said he was going out to eat with his classmates, how did he end up like this!”

“Well, Wuyang is in a bad mood. Please bear with him, sister-in-law... I just fed him some sobering tea, and it works quite well. If sister-in-law can sit for a while, he should wake up soon.”

Fang Wenxiu looked at Chu Ge with suspicion. Where did this old classmate come from? Could he be an old Chinese medicine practitioner? Where did he get such a miraculous sobering tea?

But let’s forget about Chu Ge. When she looked at the heavenly beauty and temperament of Qiu Wuji beside her, Fang Wenxiu couldn’t voice her doubts. The advantage of a beautiful woman was right here. If it was just Chu Ge here looking her up and down, she might even call the police.

Qiu Wuji said, “If you’re worried about staying here... shall we call a car to help you get him into the car?”

“I... I can’t carry him.”

Then Fang Wenxiu saw Qiu Wuji grab Lin Wuyang’s waistband and lift him up, weighing him in her hands. “He’s average, not as heavy as Chu Ge.”

Fang Wenxiu: “???”

She quickly opened the app and called a car, hurrying to take her husband away from this strange place.

Chu Ge chased after them and asked, “Sister-in-law, can you leave me your WeChat? I want to ask you about our child’s education in the future...”

Fang Wenxiu fled for her life, saying, “You... you can ask Wuyang about that.”

Qiu Wuji lifted Lin Wuyang and put him in the car. After seeing the car leave, she turned around and glared at Chu Ge, saying, “Whose child is going to school?”

“Huh? Uh...” Chu Ge slowly backed away. “Hers, hers.”

Qiu Wuji raised her eyebrows in anger. “You want to have a child with her? Chu Ge, so you’re that kind of person!”

Chu Ge panicked and shouted, “I want to have a child with you!”

At noon in the residential area, there was complete silence. With such a loud statement, everyone in the neighborhood heard it.

Many people burst into laughter, and the sound of windows opening came from several places. People leaned out to look down, gathering to watch the scene.

Qiu Wuji blushed like a cherry and quickly pulled Chu Ge’s hand, hiding in the corridor like a flash.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Qiu Wuji gritted her teeth.

Chu Ge crouched down, covering his head. He felt like he was done for this time. If the hot-tempered Qiu Qiu didn’t beat him to death, it would be a miracle. But Qiu Wuji glared at him angrily for a while and suddenly said, “We are not married.”

Chu Ge was dumbfounded. “Huh?”

Qiu Wuji snorted and pressed the elevator button angrily. “Don’t think you can have all these thoughts just because you flirt with me. Qiu Wuji is a wandering child of the martial world. What’s the big deal about some teasing and touching? As for children and all that, you must be dreaming.”

Chu Ge: “?”

Something seems off about what she’s saying.

He felt more motivated than ever before, his eyes slightly red from writing, filled with ambition.

............

In the cab, Lin Wuyang groaned as he woke up, looking confused. “How did I end up in the car? Where’s Chu Ge?”

His wife scolded him angrily, “You went out and got drunk with some random people, and now you’re asking! Go live with him if you want!”

Rubbing his head, Lin Wuyang seemed to realize the situation and said strangely, “That’s weird. I was completely drunk, but I woke up so quickly, and my head doesn’t hurt. I’m quite clear-headed.”

Fang Wenxiu was taken aback. “They... they said they gave you sobering tea.”

Lin Wuyang contemplated for a moment and whispered, “His girlfriend is extraordinary... Well, he doesn’t want people to know, so I won’t say anything either.”

Pausing for a moment, he smiled gently at his wife. “He’s not just some random person. He’s a good buddy. It’s a pity we didn’t become close friends earlier.”

“He gets you drunk, and he’s considered a good buddy? Are you men all foolish?”

“Heh... You wouldn’t understand,” Lin Wuyang whispered softly. “To invite you to his own home when you’re feeling down, to treat both of us busy spouses, to accompany you when you’re drunk... You may not think much of it, but in this day and age, people like him are rare...”

Fang Wenxiu pondered for a moment and realized, “Now that you mention it, it’s quite rare. If it were me, I might complain if someone invited me home and I ended up getting drunk and causing a fuss.”

“That’s why Zhang Qiren has changed so much, but he still treats Chu Ge as a brother... At least Zhang Qiren has good judgment when it comes to people,” Lin Wuyang leaned back wearily in the back seat and whispered, “He’s better than me.”

Fang Wenxiu whispered, “Now that everything is settled, stop overthinking...”

Lin Wuyang smiled and didn’t reply.

Suddenly, his phone made a notification sound. Lin Wuyang took it out and glanced at it, his expression turning cold.

There, on the screen, was a text message from an unfamiliar number: “Chief Lin, if you cooperate with us, we can help you become a department head. What do you say?”

Although it was an unfamiliar number, Lin Wuyang was well aware of who was on the other end. He lazily replied, “Don’t even mention promotion. Even if I were screwed over, I wouldn’t be in the same nest as a rat.”

“Why bother, Chief Lin? In this world today, stubborn practical types like you don’t have much of a future...” the person on the other end said. “I won’t hide it from you, this time you won’t be promoted. It’s partly because you’ve offended people before, and partly because we made an effort. No one wants to see a troublemaker like Lin Wuyang.”

“I can’t even be considered a practical type,” Lin Wuyang seemed to have known this would happen, and he lazily continued, “As someone with a background in Chinese literature, you might as well say I have the qualities of a pedantic scholar.”

“Chief Lin, that’s an interesting statement. So being a pedantic scholar is now more of a compliment than being a practical type?”

“At least there’s one difference... For the people I respect, I can have a few more words, but for a rat like you, Zhang Xiaoren... just stay far away in Nanjiang, where it’s nice and cool,” Lin Wuyang responded leisurely.

After saying that, he added the person to his blocklist and remained silent.

“Practical type...” he suddenly laughed to himself, “This guy actually reminded me—Even if I’m currently in a deputy position, can’t I treat myself as the main role? Those useless individuals, they’re just rubber stamps.”

Fang Wenxiu looked into her husband’s eyes, and the previous frustration and desolation seemed to have vanished. His eyes were shining again with a renewed spirit, a feeling of a man who refuses to admit defeat and has something to prove.

So, you want to mess with me?

Determination and ambition, unleashed in this drunken declaration, surged forth completely.
