Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 509: Make the Cut When It’s Time

Ji Yu didn’t give him any opportunity, she just wanted to find a fiancé quickly. This way, maybe Hu Jianyu would feel at ease, and perhaps his illness would disappear as well.

She had been considering this matter for a long time.

Now, it indeed felt like the right time to finalize it.

Hu Jianyu looked at his daughter, helpless as he wondered what she was thinking to make such a decision.

"Yu, once you pull back the bowstring, there’s no turning back. You need to think it through. Right now, it’s still possible to change your mind. But if you truly end up with a fiancé, things might become troublesome later."

On some matters, they needed to remain rational.

When Ji Yu heard these words, her expression was calm—it was clear she had already thought these things through.

"I know. That’s why I never intended to push myself too hard. All I want is to find someone to lean on and ensure no one close to me has to worry unnecessarily. My family matters deeply to me."

"Since you’ve made your decision, there’s nothing more I can say. I just hope everything goes smoothly and no unnecessary drama arises later."

But Jiang Huai wouldn’t let things go that easily—he was practically destined to cause chaos.

When he heard about this decision, the first thing he did was rush to accompany her to the matchmaking event.

"What’s the point of these petty tricks? Do you honestly think I wouldn’t see through them?" Ji Yu found such antics an absolute waste of time, and Jiang Huai himself should already know that they would never end up together.

"I’ve already bribed everyone outside; no one will be willing to step in as your fiancé. No matter who you’re set to meet today, the only person standing in front of you will always be me." He didn’t feel the least bit ashamed about it.

After all, chasing the ideal of love was never something disgraceful. If the two of them ended up together, that would be the optimal result.

It was honestly the first time Ji Yu had heard something so absurd.

Every word he uttered was unbearably annoying.

"Ji Yu, you’re the kind of person that makes people love you and hate you at the same time. If you’re really looking for a fiancé, why can’t you choose between the two of us? At least that way, it would feel fairer for us both."

By this point, they were all on the verge of breaking down, and hearing his words just made things even worse.

"First of all, the reason I held this matchmaking event was to eliminate both of you as options. I’ve never considered either of you suitable for me."

Her tone was decisive—after all, people with fundamentally opposing values couldn’t possibly be compatible as lovers.

Just like the current situation, everyone knew the truth deep down.

Ji Yu had no idea what else she could say.

The only thing she could acknowledge was that there was truly something wrong with this person.

"Suitability isn’t something you know until you try. Besides, haven’t you already lost your previous memories? Since that’s the case, let me help you retrieve them." Even now, he refused to give up, convinced that there was still room for things to turn around.

"Jiang Huai, shouldn’t you show at least a shred of dignity? Stop acting like a pitiful wretch begging for my favor. Everything you’ve done only disgusts me; none of it holds any significance to me!"

Sure, maybe any man could have done what he did—but the sincerity behind it? That was entirely uncertain. Especially the things he said—they sent chills down her spine.

"Yu, this is my way of loving you. Why won’t you just accept me? In my heart, these matters must involve you and no one else."

When it came to emotions, some people truly lacked restraint.

Every time Ji Yu saw him act this way, she felt like he had gone insane. With such a promising future ahead of him, why insist on tying himself to a warped tree like her? Their relationship wasn’t nearly as complicated as he made it out to be.

"Ji Yu, how can you be so cruel to me? In my heart, you’re the most important person. But you seem to treat me as if I don’t exist. Do you believe me if I say I could kill you right now?"

At this moment, he had entered a state of complete frenzy. His bloodshot eyes and his words painted him as seconds away from losing control.

Ji Yu didn’t understand what he meant half the time.

But there was one thing she did grasp: this person clearly had some mental issues. If they kept him here much longer, something bad might happen.

"Jiang Huai, if you have mental health problems, just tell me. There’s no need to raise a fuss here. I could accompany you to a psychiatric clinic and help you figure out if your brain is functioning properly."

She couldn’t help but respond sarcastically, convinced there was no way this person would change.

"Yu, don’t you understand yet? I’ve already gone crazy. The only thing I care about is you. And the thoughts that fill my mind... they’re far from pleasant."

Jiang Huai had never been one to hide his emotions, so his displeasure and fury were utterly evident on his face at this moment.

An opponent like this was surprisingly straightforward to deal with.

"If you truly want my life, I’d be willing to give it to you. After everything you’ve said, I don’t think I have many days left to live anyway."

Ji Yu had been someone who valued her own life—but ever since encountering this ordeal, she felt as though her life didn’t matter anymore.

Not far away, just outside the door.

Gu Qixiao didn’t know what he should do at this point. All he could do was stand quietly outside, observing the situation and realizing that someone indeed had come to stir up chaos.

"Why is this person taking so long? Does he really want to find a fiancée or not? And someone as exceptional as Miss Gu—it’s only fair that we should get a chance."

Listening to the chatter of others, he knew they had absolutely no possibility.

If even people like them could succeed, the result would be incomprehensible.

"Why does it have to turn out this way?" Sometimes Gu Qixiao couldn’t accept it either. He couldn’t understand which step he had taken wrong to lead to this situation.

"Our story still needs an ending."

But the kind of ending Ji Yu spoke of... he wouldn’t believe in it, nor would he accept that kind of promise.
