chapter 117

Ji Qingqing frowned. She was fine before, but now the full effects of the alcohol were hitting her. She was nauseated and her stomach felt very uncomfortable. She impatiently rubbed her face against Lu Lixing’s shoulder and said, “…I feel uncomfortable.”

Lu Lixing had mysophobia, but his condition wasn’t too serious. Ji Qingqing reeked of alcohol and she looked like she was about to puke. Lu Lixing tried to quickly push her away from him, but his efforts were fruitless because Ji Qingqing clung tightly onto him.

T/N: Mysophobia – fear of germs & uncleanness.

Ji Qingqing looked unwell.

“If you vomit on me, I will throw you out!”

Lu Lixing had just finished speaking when Ji Qingqing covered her mouth in discomfort. Then, she vomited directly on him.

“…” Lu Lixing’s complexion turned green.

Ji Qingqing felt much better and happier after puking on Lu Lixing. When she smelled the scent of vomit on him, she pushed him away in disgust.

“It stinks.”

The driver looked back in horror, “Sir…”

“Drive the car!” Lu Lixing’s expression was dark as he took off the jacket that was soiled by Ji Qingqing.

The driver quickly opened the windows to the car. The wind entered the car, dispelling the smell of the vomit and alcohol inside the car.

Ji Qingqing started to feel uncomfortable again. She grabbed the ledge of the window and stuck her head out to breathe in some fresh air. Lu Lixing quickly pulled her away from the window.

“Ji Qingqing, give me a break!”

Ji Qingqing didn’t have any strength left in her body as she lay motionlessly in Lu Lixing’s arms. Her mind was muddled, but the cold wind sobered her up a little.

“If we get married in the future, you should ignore them. Don’t give them money even if you come knocking at our door.”

Lu Lixing knew who Ji Qingqing was referring to, he calmly replied, “I understand.”

Ji Qingqing tilted her head and stared at him. She asked, “Do you think I’m unfilial?”

Lu Lixing looked at her in silence.

“If it’s for grandpa, then I would willingly take care of him for the rest of his life. But my parents, they…I give them money every month. I transfer everything I earn each month to them, but it will never be enough for them. I realized that their greed will never be satisfied no matter how much money I give them. Whether it is 100 billion yuan or 1 trillion yuan, they will never be satisfied! So, don’t take it personally and ignore them, okay?”

“Are you trying to help me save money?”

“Of course! It’s better to donate your money than giving it to them!”

“Do they treat you poorly?”

Ji Qingqing had a headache as she recalled her memories. She chuckled and said, “They paid my tuition and supported me until I grew up. I didn’t go hungry or cold. I never lacked anything. Do they think they treated me well?”

Lu Lixing was silent.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about it anymore. It doesn’t matter anymore…Lu Lixing, I envy you so much. You have a good grandpa who cares for you…” Ji Qingqing looked at him enviously and said, “Why don’t I have a grandpa that cares for me like yours?”

“You have one now.”

Ji Qingqing laughed, “That’s right, I have a grandpa that cares for me now. But why didn’t I have one before? I only have parents that only know how to ask for money. I worked hard and saved up enough money to buy a house…I don’t mind giving them money in the past because they raised me. But just when I wanted to buy a house using the money I’ve saved up, they told me to use that money to pay back their son’s gambling debts instead!”

Lu Lixing put his hand over her trembling hands to calm her down.

“Did you know? The debt collectors held a knife to my brother’s hand. My brother was kneeling right in front of me when they chopped off his hand…”

T/N: I’m pretty sure she’s talking about her parents and siblings in her previous life because her brother in this life is still a student = too young to gamble.

Ji Qingqing gritted her teeth and said fiercely, “At that time, I swore to myself that this will be the last time I will be helping them. I paid off their debt and repaid the money they used to raise me. I told them that I won’t give them a penny in the future!”

Lu Lixing didn’t speak as he listened silently to all the grievances she suffered.
