My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 118: Stop Boasting!

Wang Yan, Gu Na, and Hou Mu were all doing quite well for themselves. After leaving, Wang Yan had gotten married and started a business with her husband; their company was now worth tens of millions. Gu Na’s family already owned an enterprise valued in the hundreds of millions. Hou Mu was actually the least successful of the three, but he had still joined a company and become a senior executive with an annual income of around a million.

Of course, all their achievements paled in comparison to the Yang Qi of the past. After all, he had been worth a billion! While they were all successful, forget about comparing them to the current Yang Qi—there was already a vast chasm between them and the man he used to be.

Yang Qi smiled. "Are you connected to the Qin Family? Why else would you attend their funeral?"

He was genuinely curious.

Before Wang Yan and Gu Na could speak, Hou Mu said smugly, "You probably don’t know this, but I’m an executive at the Qin Group now! As for Wang Yan and Gu Na, their companies are closely tied to the Qin Family. They naturally had to come for the funeral of Qin Tian, the Qin Family’s young master. But you... didn’t you go bankrupt a long time ago? What gives you the right to be here?"

Yang Qi suddenly grinned. "What if I told you I’m here because I killed Qin Tian?"

"What?!" The three of them froze for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Keep dreaming. If you really killed Qin Tian, do you think the Qin Family would have let you go? Qin Tian has been dead for several days, and you’re still alive and kicking," Hou Mu mocked.

"That’s right, Yang Qi. Stop talking nonsense. That’s nothing to be proud of!" Gu Na said with a frown.

Wang Yan’s eyes fell on Ye Qianqian, and she seemed to have a realization. "I heard Ye Fei successfully started a new business. You must have come here riding on his coattails. No wonder you brought Ye Qianqian with you!"

"So that’s how it is! I never thought the brilliant genius from back then would fall so low, coming to a funeral just to curry favor with the Qin Family. Have you no shame?" Hou Mu sneered.

This guy was really getting the biggest kick out of it.

Yang Qi simply smiled with contempt. A mere buffoon. I could crush an insect like him with a single slap. He’s nothing compared to the Zhang Family I just destroyed, let alone the current Qin Family. Today, my goal is to wipe out the Qin Family.

Gu Na frowned. She had followed Yang Qi back then because she was fond of him. The Yang Qi of the past was not only talented but also brimming with confidence. How did he become like this? Facing their mockery, he didn’t even dare to say a word in rebuttal. Is this what happens after failure? Does a person really become a coward? What a pity! He’s even stooped to attending someone else’s funeral just to curry favor. Alas, what a waste. The high-spirited young man from back then is gone, isn’t he?

She suddenly felt a sense of relief. Leaving Yang Qi because of her family crisis back then had been the right decision, even though she once thought she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Wang Yan was even more excited. She had once pursued Yang Qi relentlessly, even trying to seduce him, but she had failed. Back then, Yang Qi was like a steel wall, completely focused on his research. She had left in a fit of anger.

Both women had once harbored feelings for Yang Qi, and though their relationships ended for different reasons, seeing him in his current state made them feel a secret thrill and a sense of relief. They weren’t gloating, exactly, just feeling that they hadn’t made the wrong choice back then. Wang Yan had been determined to find a husband more outstanding than Yang Qi. Gu Na felt similarly; if a man she couldn’t have ended up too happy or too capable, it would have thrown her mindset into disarray. Seeing Yang Qi’s misfortune made them feel much more at ease. Even though they felt it was indecent, they couldn’t help but feel happy.

Still, there was a difference between the two. While Gu Na was secretly pleased, she wouldn’t mock Yang Qi. After all, she had once truly loved him.

Wang Yan was different. She had already said plenty of things to kick him while he was down back when he went bankrupt. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I really can’t understand how I ever fell for a loser like you. I’m so glad you rejected me. It let me find a husband who is a thousand times better than you!" Wang Yan said sarcastically.

"Alright, Wang Yan, Hou Mu, that’s enough," Gu Na interjected, unable to listen anymore. "Yang Qi was our companion once. We all worked hard together. He even helped fund our startups."

Of course, her words were tinged with a condescending sort of pity and sympathy. In her mind, Yang Qi was now an object of pity, not someone to be looked up to.

"Oh, stop pretending, Gu Na. You’re happy to see him down on his luck, too, aren’t you?" Wang Yan laughed. "Back then, your parents pretended to be sick just to trick you into coming home. They didn’t want you to be with this guy! It just proves that the older generation knows best. Look at him—he was successful for a few years and then went bankrupt."

Gu Na didn’t refute it. She used to resent her parents for interfering, wanting to pursue her own love. But now, it seemed they might have been right.

Hou Mu looked at Yang Qi and sneered, "You must regret rejecting Wang Yan back then, right? After all, she’s much better than that woman who cheated on you."

"She is better. I’ll admit that," Yang Qi said calmly, taking a sip of red wine. At least Wang Yan wouldn’t cheat on her man. In that respect, she was indeed better than Li Qiutong.

"Heh, it’s useless to regret it now. I already have a husband, and I’m not that kind of fickle woman. Besides, Yang Qi, you’re not worthy of me anymore!" Hearing Yang Qi’s admission, Wang Yan was ecstatic, finally getting the chance to trample all over this man.

Gu Na sighed. Yang Qi really was a pitiful sight.

Just then, Ye Qianqian, who had been eating quietly, set down her food and said with a grin, "I’ve been listening for a while now. My Brother Qi isn’t bothering with you fools because he doesn’t want to. Do you really think he cares about you? Any one of the women by his side now is better than you. Ever heard of Ye Lingyue? Lin Qingxuan? Bai Yumei? They’re all his women!"

"Qianqian, don’t talk nonsense!" Yang Qi frowned. In his heart, there was only room for Lin Qingxuan.

"Hahaha... Did you hear that, Ye Qianqian? He denied it! At least he’s more honest than you are. You really overplayed your hand with that bluff!" Wang Yan laughed until she shook.

"It wasn’t a complete bluff," Yang Qi said nonchalantly. "Of those three, one of them is indeed my woman."

"Damn, just when I thought you were being honest, it turns out you’re just full of hot air, too," Hou Mu scoffed. "Who do you think those three are? The young lady of the Jingzhou Lin Family! The young lady of the Jingzhou Ye Family! And the top celebrity of the moment, Bai Yumei! Which one of them could you possibly be worthy of?"

"You wouldn’t understand," Yang Qi said, not bothering to explain.

"Fine, fine, we don’t understand," Wang Yan said suddenly. "How about this: come work for my company. I still have faith in your skills."
