The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 381 - 3: Quan Jin Sold Her

Not saying the phrase ’We’re both innocent’ wouldn’t have been a big deal.

But once it’s said, it seems to carry some unintended implications.

He didn’t even use a respectful title, just referred to her as ’she’.

However, Quan Jin wasn’t here to confront anyone; he was here to negotiate with Quan Yin. Playing Tai Chi with his fifth uncle wouldn’t work; he’s of a lower generation and has missed many meals, he’d just get tripped up.

So he decided to be straightforward and said, "I’m planning to divorce that woman, but Grandma doesn’t agree, so there’s no way to proceed with the divorce. Since you, fifth uncle, are interested in her, I’ll turn a blind eye and make a concession. You can do whatever you want, but you need to persuade her to divorce me."

Quan Yin was holding a teacup, and his thumb gently scraped along the rim.

Hearing Quan Jin’s words, he smirked inwardly. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Feelings are truly the cheapest thing.

"Are you sure you’ve thought this through?" Quan Yin asked.

Quan Jin raised an eyebrow: "What, are you going to take the elder’s stance and try to reconcile us, fifth uncle?"

Quan Yin raised his eyebrow: "Of course, as an elder, I can’t just let you as a younger generation mess around in front of me."

At this point, Quan Yin did adopt the elder’s demeanor.

"Come on, fifth uncle, do you think I don’t know your tactics?" Quan Jin spared him the decency, not bothering to expose him.

Quan Yin laughed, then fell silent for a few seconds. When Quan Jin visibly started to look impatient, he said, "You haven’t met Miss Gu yet, have you?"

Quan Jin: "What do you mean?"

Quan Yin said, "She’s very good."

Quan Jin laughed: "When you say a woman is good, fifth uncle, in what way do you mean?"

There was a playfulness in the words.

Quan Yin thought of that woman’s aloofness towards him and looked at his nephew, whose words showed nothing but disdain for Gu Yuan. For some reason, the satisfaction in his heart outweighed the smile on his face.

He repeated the earlier question: "Are you sure you’ve thought it through?"

Quan Jin chuckled softly, his tone indifferent: "I said, I’m crazy about wanting a divorce, is that enough?"

"Enough."

That’s more than enough.

Hearing Quan Yin’s answer, Quan Jin was a little surprised. Using this as leverage with Quan Yin, he wasn’t sure if Quan Yin would compromise.

How could Quan Jin not know what kind of person Quan Yin was? He knew clearly even when he was abroad.

In his younger days, promiscuous and flirtatious, mingled among countless women, once even had one who showed up at the Quan Family pregnant and demanding marriage, but those were insignificant matters. Power is a wonderful thing, especially in a family like the Quan Family. Such things aren’t even considered scandals, any random Quan Family member could settle it with a snap of their fingers, let alone require Quan Yin to personally intervene.

In terms of seniority and age, Quan Jin could only follow behind Quan Yin.

He was just a junior.

Although he liked to play ordinarily, he had his own way. He’s not into the whole woman thing; he truly enjoyed a lavish lifestyle. The reputation of being a libertine was just for show; if others believed it, he didn’t care.

Reputation? What is reputation!

Does someone from the Quan Family need a reputation?

Who cares!

However, after meeting Gu Xueli, he finally understood why life needs to be enjoyed in the moment.

It’s not like he liked or loved her very much. All the affection he expressed to her was just coaxing her; actually, it was just a temporary interest. He didn’t even know how long this interest would last.

He hoped it would last longer since such enjoyment was rare. If it quickly lost its charm, it would be meaningless.

At this moment, despite not liking tea, Quan Jin picked up the teacup again and toasted it toward Quan Yin: "Fifth uncle, happy cooperation."

Quan Yin curled his lips, not moving his hand, looked at him, and slowly said, "Those who dare to cooperate with me, have no room for regret, you better think it over."

Quan Jin never knew that right from the photos, it was all a trap.

And after entering this trap, he was completely led by the nose, totally unaware of it.

The saying ’Ginger gets spicier with age,’ Quan Jin would deeply understand this not long after...

...

Gu Yuan had absolutely no idea that Quan Jin had already ’sold’ her to his fifth uncle.

While she was busy to the point of losing track of time, Quan Jin called her, and between the lines, he was saying ’I’ve missed you,’ but it essentially boiled down to missing her beautiful body; he just didn’t spell it out clearly.

Gu Yuan couldn’t deal with him just yet; she had to finish what she was working on before she had time to pay him any attention.

"I’m a bit busy right now, I’ll contact you later," she said, softening her tone.

But he didn’t seem too pleased and asked her, "Your WeChat is your phone number, right? When will you accept my request? I’ve sent it days ago but haven’t heard anything."

He added, "Don’t you use WeChat? Or do you just not want to add me as a friend at all?"

Gu Yuan: "The latter."
