Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 144: The Goddess Isn’t What He Thought, He Regretted It
Lin Ranyue was dialing her ex-husband Su Zhen.
There are some people who, even if they were once deeply in love, become accustomed to cursing at each other over time.
Lin Ranyue was truly furious!
Although her eldest son, Xiaoyun, had never been close to her since he was a child, he grew up to have a very goal-oriented personality.
But, he was still her own flesh and blood after all.
What did Su Man count for, to deserve marrying Xiaoyun!
If it had been Xiaoyun’s own idea and he was absolutely certain about marrying Su Man, Lin Ranyue wouldn’t have been so angry.
A son who’s grown up doesn’t need his mother’s control, and if it comes to it, she could just act as if she’d never had this son.
But the fact that Su Zhen had a hand in this made Lin Ranyue explode with anger!
Su Zhen, that bastard, is such an idiot!!!
Recently, Su Zhen had been having a tough time with nothing going his way.
Just six months ago, he was a proud and successful businessman.
In the Federal Empire, at over forty years of age, he was still in his prime with plenty of opportunities for development.
And now, he was sitting on the sun lounger on the balcony, squinting in the sunlight, wrinkles around his eyes.
The tea by his side had gone cold, and he didn’t even feel like calling a robot to refill it.
He was leading a life appropriate for someone who was over a hundred and fifty years old.
Du Weiwei was nowhere to be seen; she might have been out shopping with friends or perhaps getting a beauty treatment.
Overall, after marrying his long-time crush and living with her, Su Zhen discovered that the goddess was nothing like he had imagined!
She was genuinely kind.
But she couldn’t do anything, and she would ask Su Zhen to do everything!
Housework? Joke, they had bought three domestic robots, and Du Weiwei couldn’t do anything around the house.
The kitchen? Joke, it might as well have been Su Zhen’s extra room!
Du Weiwei even had the nerve to say, "A’Zhen, the food I cook isn’t as delicious as the food you cook, I love eating your cooking the most.
"The baby will surely like it too."
Fine, considering the child in Du Weiwei’s belly, Su Zhen put up with it.
Although Su Zhen had been removed from the management of Su Family Restaurant by the old man and cut off from the family, he had accumulated some Star Coins and properties over the years.
Lin Ranyue never asked him for money to spend.
And so, what Su Zhen had accumulated could all be taken with him.
However, today Du Weiwei wanted to buy a flier, asking him for Star Coins.
Tomorrow she wanted to go out shopping for clothes and jewelry, also asking him for Star Coins.
The day after, she complained of a stomachache and wanted a medical check-up, still asking him for Star Coins!
Su Zhen, seeing the numbers in his account continuously shrink, truly felt a sense of panic!
Yet, Du Weiwei was pregnant, so he couldn’t make her go out to work and earn money.
And Su Zhen himself... having been accustomed to being a big boss, you expect him to go work for someone else.
He couldn’t lower his pride to that extent!
Not long ago, Su Zhen planned to win over the Food God, thus having a chance to show off in front of his father.
He didn’t even aim to snatch back the right to inherit Su Family Restaurant.
Su Zhen just wanted, at the very least, to get the management rights to a branch!
But who would have thought, after he had invested so much Star Coins, the Food God simply threw a casual sentence at him, telling him to contact Su Wan if he had any issues?
That had really made Su Zhen so angry he almost had a fit!
If he could just directly contact Su Wan, that girl, would he bother spending so many Star Coins to tip in the livestream to get in touch with the Food God!
What also troubled Su Zhen was the matter of Xiaoman’s marriage.
Su Zhen truly doted on Xiaoman, and so he thought about finding her a good match.
Initially, Su Zhen actually wanted Huo Yichang to marry Xiaoman.
In his view, Huo Yichang was a good lad. Xiaowan had poor health and simply wasn’t suitable for a child like Yichang.
But who could have imagined that Xiaoman simply wasn’t interested in Huo Yichang!
Yet given the current circumstances, a husband may truly be hard to choose, which is why Su Zhen thought of his own sons.
Especially his eldest son, Su Yun.
Xiaoyun is so outstanding, being a Beastman and all.
Once he graduates from Empire University, he’ll either join the First Star Squad or surely some other important department.
After Xiaoman marries Xiaoyun, her life would definitely be a comfortable one!
But Su Zhen could never have anticipated that Xiaoyun would actually refuse!
Just not long ago, Xiaoman was crying over a comm call, sobbing pitifully for ages.
Su Zhen sighed softly.
Since eldest son Su Yun always had strong principles and was a Beastman, he probably couldn’t be counted on anymore.
Looking ahead, it might be better for Xiaoman to marry Xiaoni instead.
Just at that moment, the long-silent comm suddenly rang, and Su Zhen couldn’t think why, given his current state of decline, anyone would remember him.
When he saw it was Lin Ranyue’s name, Su Zhen jumped up from the lounge chair in excitement!
He straightened his collar, then belatedly realized that the other party was just making a comm call and not projecting their image.
He felt slightly disappointed.
With a mixture of excitement and complex emotions, Su Zhen answered the call.
The next moment...
"Su Zhen, are you laying eggs at home? It took you ages to answer the call!"
"How did I hear that you’re actually planning to have Xiaoyun marry that Su Man? Have you lost your mind!"
"Let me tell you, Su Zhen! Keep your ideas away from my son. Xiaoyun won’t do! Xiaoni won’t either! If you’re so keen on marriage, go marry her yourself!"
Su Zhen was scolded to the point of blood spurting out.
However, strangely, he wasn’t angry.
Instead, he felt that the vigorous Lin Ranyue was particularly lively and charming.
Helplessly, he said, "It’s just that Xiaoman is turning twenty soon; in a month, she’ll be celebrating her twentieth birthday!"
"Ha, she’s about to turn twenty and will be assigned a husband by the Main System, so you’re in a hurry? When Xiaowan got married that day, and Huo Yichang didn’t show up, what did you do?"
"I..."
Su Zhen was at a loss for words.
But was he really to blame?
Xiaowan had her biological mother by her side, the old patriarch doted on her, and the Lin Family and others all cherished Xiaowan.
But Xiaoman is so pitiful.
What’s wrong with being a little kinder to Xiaoman?
But Su Zhen knew that if he said this out loud, Lin Ranyue would definitely become extremely angry.
So, he didn’t say it.
"Let’s talk about the children’s issues later. Ranyue, how have you been recently?"
"Pretty good."
Su Zhen felt a sourness in his heart, and just as he was about to say something, the electronic door beeped, and Du Weiwei walked in from outside.
She curiously said, "Ah Zhen, who are you chatting with that your eyes are red?"
Su Zhen hadn’t reacted yet, but Lin Ranyue on the other end of the comm heard everything clearly.
Wasn’t that the voice of the ever-so-tea-like Du Weiwei?
Lin Ranyue suddenly spoke loudly, "Is that you, Weiwei? Long time no see. We should go shopping and have a coffee together sometime, shouldn’t we?"
The expression on Du Weiwei’s face became extremely ugly in an instant!
She bit her lip and looked towards Su Zhen.
Su Zhen missed Lin Ranyue so much, which is why he had the sound on speaker when she called.
But now, it was too late to switch the mode!
