Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband
Chapter 87: Revenge

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Revenge

Previously, Cai Xun relied on his glib tongue to secure numerous deals.

But this time, both Ji Yu and Feng Qinqin had seen through him.

Naturally, they wouldn’t show him any kindness.

"Oh my, isn’t this Mr. Cai? Weren’t you previously negotiating deals with the Gu family? How come this time you’re working on such a small project?"

Feng Qinqin never held back when speaking to Cai Xun, and seeing him now, she couldn’t resist mocking him.

For a moment, Cai Xun’s expression turned awkward; he hadn’t expected to run into them here.

"The previous project was snatched away by your Feng family. I can’t starve, can I? Besides, my company is doing so well now—it’s fine to work on any project."

He had to quickly come up with an explanation.

But deep down, he resented the sudden presence of Ji Yu and Feng Qinqin.

If the business partner fled because of this, who knew what might happen next.

Ji Yu raised her brows slightly. "Oh, really? Your company’s still operating? Did you manage to solve the issue of that severed funding chain from last time?"

They were all aware of the matter, though Cai Xun had never confessed to anyone.

Funding issues were a sensitive topic before negotiations; unsurprisingly, the other party’s face quickly darkened.

"Mr. Cai, why didn’t you mention this before?"

Seeing the other party’s heightened vigilance, Cai Xun knew that negotiations were pretty much dead in the water.

"Don’t listen to the nonsense these women are spewing! That woman was my ex-girlfriend. She even stole my project before—how could she ever say anything good about me?"

As he spoke about the matter, his expression became somewhat twisted.

To him, it had always felt like the project rightfully belonged to him.

Yet when it ultimately ended up back in Feng Qinqin’s hands, it was indeed aggravating.

Ji Yu’s delicate, well-crafted face bore a faint smile. "Is that so? If I’m not mistaken, didn’t the Gu family give you plenty of opportunities? Instead of cherishing them, you blame others for your own failure?"

They understood much more about this incident than Cai Xun probably realized.

Upon hearing this, Cai Xun’s expression visibly tightened.

"Don’t go spouting nonsense, or I’ll call the police on you."

He found Ji Yu irksome to begin with, and now he saw this as an opportunity to escape quickly.

"By all means, call the police. But why not talk about the past first? Since you benefited quite generously from Qinqin, isn’t it time to return what you owe?"

Ji Yu knew Feng Qinqin had always been lavish with her boyfriend. Now that they had broken up, wasn’t it only right to clear the air and reclaim the benefits?

Speaking about her ex, Feng Qinqin found herself feeling rather embarrassed. It was undeniable her judgment back then hadn’t been the best—that was why she’d treated such a scumbag so well.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Cai Xun had no intention of continuing this pointless argument. Knowing trouble was bound to follow, he shoved Ji Yu aside, making a quick dash to escape.

Ji Yu almost lost her footing, but someone behind her reached out to steady her.

"Thank you..."

When she saw who it was, she was momentarily taken aback, her words catching in her throat.

"What’s wrong? Don’t recognize me anymore?" Hong stared at Ji Yu eagerly, as if terrified she wouldn’t remember him.

Ji Yu’s expression turned a bit helpless. "Didn’t I tell you not to return home for the time being?"

"I knew you weren’t doing well here in the country. How could I just sit abroad and do nothing?"

Hong had long wanted to return but followed Ji Yu’s prior instructions to stay away. Now that they were reunited, there was no way he would leave again.

Ji Yu sighed, knowing full well Hong’s character. "Fine, since you’ve already come back, then stay."

Her previous marriage was over, so there was no need to concern herself with such things anymore.

Hong’s face lit up with joy, surprised that Ji Yu would agree so readily.

"Perfect timing. Qinqin is here too. Let’s have a meal together."

Ji Yu suddenly found herself nostalgic about the past. Over the past three years, she’d occasionally missed them.

Seeing them again now felt like a surprising twist of fate.

"Sister Yu, why have you been getting so much flak online lately?"

Hong couldn’t help but recall the drama circulating on social media, wishing he could drag those people out to put an end to the nonsense and stop Ji Yu’s name from being dragged further.

Ji Yu chuckled lightly, accustomed to such situations by now. "What they’re saying has nothing to do with me. Besides, I’ve already proven my innocence in my own way. There’s no need to dwell on it."

She’d long learned how to let these things go.

But now that Hong was back, perhaps many of these issues would become easier to handle.

"Can you help me investigate who’s behind this latest wave of fake posters?"

Ji Yu was eager to know who was orchestrating the recent smear campaign.

The previous culprits hadn’t provided any satisfying answers.

Ji Yu wasn’t the type to back down so easily.

Hong perked up instantly. "Alright. I’ll send you the information on this person tomorrow morning. But Sister Yu, you need to be extra careful—lately, it feels like trouble keeps finding you, and there might even be more extreme tactics ahead."

Ji Yu had been vigilant about this all along.

But for now, things seemed relatively quiet.

Returning home, Ji Yu mulled over the matter.

Hong certainly worked fast.

The next morning, the information had already been sent to Ji Yu’s phone.

"Sister Yu, it seems this person previously received treatment from you."

Oh, more than that.

As Ji Yu scanned the details, she once again found herself sighing over Song Xuan’s antics.

She’d always suspected Song Xuan harbored a grudge against her, but she hadn’t anticipated such an intense level of animosity.

"Sister Yu, what are you planning to do?"

"For now, let’s leave it alone. I’ll handle it." Ji Yu had warned Song Xuan before, but the latter’s insistence on using such despicable methods showed she’d been problematic from the start.

This time, Ji Yu didn’t go directly to Gu Qixiao. Instead, she arranged to meet with Song Xuan.

It just so happened that it was time for a follow-up medication appointment.

After switching medications, Ji Yu maintained a calm demeanor. "Assistant Li, could you please step out for a moment? I have some things I need to discuss with Miss Song privately."

Assistant Li was hesitant, mainly worried Song Xuan might say something outrageous.

"Don’t worry, I wouldn’t harm my patient," Ji Yu said, disdainful of such behavior.

"Alright. If anything comes up, please call me immediately, Doctor Ji." He truly feared the two might end up fighting.

Once Assistant Li left, Song Xuan’s expression turned impatient. "Why are you looking for me? Surely you’re not here to dig up information about Xiao, are you? Xiao belongs to me—you won’t be able to take him away."

Her obsession was evident; no matter the occasion, she had to declare this claim.

Ji Yu arched a brow. "Really? I have no interest in your Xiao for now. But I am much more curious about you."
