The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 166

Chapter 166: Chapter 166

But Fu Youhan’s lips curled into a cold sneer: "Do I look like I’m pouting? I’ve been dumped!"

After speaking, Fu Youhan poured himself another glass of alcohol and drank it down in one go.

Ye Chen was somewhat startled: "What? Dumped? Then it’s Xiao Moxi who’s at fault, leaving someone like you, handsome and considerate, what a loss for her! Where can she find another golden thigh like you?"

But Fu Youhan sneered lightly: "If she really needed a golden thigh, that would be good."

Feng Ming has woken up, and Jiang Moxi doesn’t need to bear the heavy medical expenses anymore.

Now, Jiang Moxi not only rarely shows up at Night Color, she’s even planning to resign from her tutoring job at Ling Hua’s house.

She is very serious about severing all ties with him, that’s why Fu Youhan is so heartbroken.

"Forget it, I don’t know how to comfort you, I’ll keep you company in drinking to the bitter end."

Ye Chen didn’t know how to persuade him, so he simply opened a bottle of strong liquor and began to drink from it directly.

Later, they both drank until they were completely drunk...

The day Jiang Moxi moved to her new place, Ling Ye just happened to call her.

"Moxi, how about going out with me tonight for a big task?"

Ling Ye’s secretive tone made Jiang Moxi frown slightly: "What task?"

"A bastard owes my mother a final payment and refuses to pay up."

Jiang Moxi summed it up—the so-called big task Ling Ye mentioned was nothing but — debt collection!

"This is something your mother should handle herself; it’s better if you stay out of it."

Jiang Moxi did not approve of Ling Ye rashly getting involved, as the adult world has its own rules.

But Ling Ye said in frustration: "But my mother’s business is having cash flow issues lately, these past few days she’s been receiving non-stop debt collection calls."

Ling Ye had asked Ling Yinan if the situation was very serious.

But every time, Ling Yinan only smiled at him and said, "It’s nothing, don’t worry about mom."

However, as the debt collection calls became more frequent, his mother’s tiredness and anxiety began to show more clearly on her face.

That’s why Ling Ye was preparing to secretly help his mother recover the final payment.

"Forget it, I’ll figure out another way."

Ling Ye was about to hang up the phone.

But how could Jiang Moxi not understand that after Ling Ye hung up, he would definitely still find someone to go collect the debt with him.

Because Ling Ye has always believed, since his mother and father divorced and there’s no one by her side to protect her, he, as the only man in the family, should do his best to look after his mother.

Worried that Ling Ye might stir up trouble, Jiang Moxi could only call out to him: "Wait for me, I’ll finish what I’m doing and come find you."

In fact, Ling Ye didn’t have much hope for today’s debt collecting mission.

But Jiang Moxi’s response instantly boosted his confidence.

"Okay, I’ll wait for you." After repeatedly thanking her, Ling Ye finally hung up the phone.

Jiang Moxi had lived in Tianqin Bay for a while and didn’t have many belongings.

And even though some of the clothes in the room were added by Fu Youhan later, she had no intention of taking them with her.

Just like when she first moved into Tianqin Bay, when Jiang Moxi left, she only carried a backpack.

Inside the backpack, there was only her old laptop and a few sets of clothes to change into.

What she didn’t know though, was that Fu Youhan was watching her departure from a distance in a car.

After seeing Jiang Moxi casually mount her motorbike and ride away with her backpack, a trace of desolation surfaced in the depths of Fu Youhan’s eyes.

In the front seat, Chi Jing quietly observed Fu Youhan through the rearview mirror.

Fu Youhan had just woken up from a hangover at Night Color, and he wasn’t in good shape, his face showing a sickly pallor.

Chi Jing had just persuaded him to go home and rest, because he had to attend a charity gala officially hosted by Yan City that evening.

But Fu Youhan had him drive to Tianqin Bay, yet didn’t get out of the car, just sitting there silently, gazing in the direction of the gate.

Chi Jing was at first puzzled as to what was so interesting about the gate of Tianqin Bay, only to then witness the scene of Jiang Moxi riding away on her bike.

Then, he could feel an inexplicable heaviness in the car, like a butterfly’s wings soaked with water.

He couldn’t fathom what Jiang Moxi’s departure meant to Fu Youhan; he only knew that the car was chilling to the bone at this moment, making one shiver...

The news of Jiang Moxi moving into her new home quickly spread from Yuan Zhou’s mouth to Si Lin’s ears.

But Si Lin declared, "From now on, any news related to that bad woman, just don’t tell me!"

Yet no sooner had he finished speaking, he asked Yuan Zhou, "Does she have a lot of luggage?"

What if she couldn’t handle it herself and ended up crying?

Should he call and take the opportunity to ask if she needed help?

However, Yuan Zhou informed him, "Just a backpack, she probably doesn’t need you to step in to help."

Then, Si Lin burst into fury, "Which eye of yours saw me wanting to help her? For that unappreciative woman, I’d rather she cries all alone."

Yuan Zhou: "..."

Wishing someone to cry all alone, yet why do you make exceptions to help her time after time?

But Yuan Zhou knew Si Lin was in a fit of anger, so he didn’t speak his mind bluntly and just asked, "Are you attending the charity dinner tonight?"

"Going. The old lady keeps nagging. If I don’t go, it feels like I’m being treated as a soul in need of salvation," Si Lin’s tone was filled with despair.

Just because Luoxia had a performance at tonight’s charity dinner, the old lady kept pestering Si Lin to go with her, and it was almost driving Si Lin mad.

If it weren’t for wanting to escape the image of Jiang Moxi that kept surfacing in his mind, he would have had a falling out with these two long ago.

After Jiang Moxi arrived at her new home, she unpacked a few items from her book bag and placed the newly bought cookies onto the shelf, then went out again.

About half an hour later, Jiang Moxi and Ling Ye met up.

"How do you plan on collecting the debt? Putting a sack over the head and beating them, or tying them up directly, threatening them with a few slashes if they don’t pay up?"

Jiang Moxi cut directly to the chase with Ling Ye.

But Ling Ye shook his head, "No, such a crude method of debt collection won’t do, my mom would be heartbroken if she found out."

Although Ling Ye was well-known for fighting in two major colleges, he was a good boy in front of his mother, Ling Yinan.

He didn’t want to tarnish the image his mother had of him over such a trifle matter and make her sad.

"Then what’s your plan?" Jiang Moxi was somewhat surprised.

She had thought that Ling Ye was looking for a fight when he sought her out.

But all Ling Ye did was take out two sets of waitstaff uniforms.

"That old fart named Cao, relying on his wife’s fortune, has secretly found a mistress behind her back. It’s said that tonight he even plans to bring that mistress to the charity dinner hosted by Yan City officials..."

Ling Ye spoke only this much, but Jiang Moxi already grasped his plan.

It was probably about them disguising themselves as waitstaff, snapping some evidence of the old man with his mistress, and threatening him to pay off the balance or else they would show the evidence to his wife.

"Are you sure this will work?" Jiang Moxi asked.

"It should work, that old guy is extremely afraid of his wife," Ling Ye replied.

After finishing, he hesitated a bit, "Actually, I should have called Huahua for this. But you know, if Huahua was caught, she wouldn’t be able to resist at all..."

"Fine, I’ll help you," Jiang Moxi didn’t bother with idle talk and simply grabbed the waitstaff uniform to put on.

"I knew you were reliable!"

After a spurt of flattery from Ling Ye, he also said, "Although I can’t help with your unrequited love for my little uncle, I can still take some photos of my little uncle to comfort your heart."

Jiang Moxi rolled her eyes, "Thanks a lot, great nephew!"

Ling Ye: "..."
