My Perfect Enemy is Finally Broke Novel - Chap 82
Chapter 82
After returning home, Ji Ran turned around and went back to the room without saying a word.
On the way, his cell phone rang countless times, all from Mrs. Ji’s assistant. He blocked the number, and the other party called again from an unknown number. Ji Ran simply turned off his phone.
The lights were not turned on in the room, the curtains were closed tightly, and the light in the room was dim. Ji Ran threw his phone on the table and lay down on the bed.
He buried his face in the pillow until he was about to suffocate, then turned away and breathed fresh air.
Qin Man parked the car and was in no hurry to enter the house. Instead, he took out his cell phone and called Liu Chen first.
”The procedures will be completed in two weeks.”
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened again. Liu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said cautiously: “I understand. What happened? Do you need my help?”
He said calmly: “No, it’s a private matter.”
After hanging up the phone, Qin Man turned around and entered the house. He opened the bedroom door and saw the person lying inside. He sat on the head of the bed and reached out to rub his hair.
”Are you addicted to rubbing?” Ji Ran felt the warmth in his palm and said this after a long time.
Qin Manying responded naturally: “Well, it’s very soft.”
Ji Ran didn’t respond.
He savored it on the way home.
He found that he was not sad at all. He even thought that even if Ji Guozheng had just died on the operating table, he would probably only have one emotion left –
Unwilling to do so.
Zhao Qingtong has not yet redressed her injustice. She has been despised by everyone. She has been dead for so many years, and now she is still being criticized by others…
After causing such serious harm to others, there is no reason to let go so easily.
Qin Man lay beside him and stayed silent with him.
After a moment, the person next to me suddenly asked: “What version did you hear before?”
Qin Man raised his eyebrows: “What.”
”About me and Zhao Qingtong.” Ji Ran turned to look at him.
Qin Man hesitated for a moment, then told the truth: “What I heard… wasn’t a good thing.”
Ji Ran asked: “Do you believe it?”
As soon as these words came out, Ji Ran himself was stunned.
Ever since he became sensible, he has never cared about what others think. As long as the other party didn’t do anything mean and didn’t say it in front of him, he would treat the rest as passing by and irrelevant.
His own life does not need anyone’s approval.
But at this moment, he urgently wanted to know what Qin Man thought of him.
Qin Man: “I…”
”Forget it.” Ji Ran interrupted him and twisted his neck back, “Don’t say anything, just pretend I didn’t ask.”
”When I first heard your name, I didn’t take it seriously at all.” Qin Man laughed and kept talking, “I was busy taking exams at the time, so how could I have the energy to care about other people’s affairs.”
Ji Ran muttered: “I asked you to stop talking.”
”The first time I saw you later, was it in the cafeteria? You were wearing a school uniform and you were as thin as a monkey.”
”You are like a monkey, and your whole family is like monkeys.”
”…Okay, I guess.” Qin Man lowered his eyes and smiled, “After that time, I often caught you fighting with other classmates…”
Ji Gas said: “They came to provoke me themselves!”
”I know.” Qin Man said helplessly, “Can you let me finish what I’m saying.”
”I saw you fighting with others, and in the end, those people didn’t get any favors.”
nonsense. Among those cowards who are so tired of beating people, who can beat him? Ji Ran buried it in his heart.
”Every time you leave arrogantly.” Qin Man held his chin and smiled softly, “Always hide and cry secretly?”
Ji Ran’s expression froze.
”I also always like to go to the banyan tree on the hill behind the school, sit on the branch and wipe my tears…”
Ji Ran: “…you fart.”
”Occasionally, Lao Xing’s control is too strict and you can’t get out. So you’ll go to the teaching building next to it that hasn’t been opened yet.”
”…I didn’t.”
”My favorite classroom is the one at the end of the corridor on the fourth floor.”
”In the first semester of your sophomore year in high school, you picked up a dog on the side of the road after a fight. It seemed to have been abused and refused to go with you, so you stayed there and waited for the people from the pet store to come. Just left.”
”Then every Friday after school, you will go to the pet store to see him until he is adopted…”
”…” Ji Ran stood up suddenly, his ears turned red because he was told the truth, “What the hell, are you following me?!”
Qin Man couldn’t help laughing: “I said I bumped into each other by chance. Do you believe it?”
”I believe in a ghost!”
”That’s it.” Qin Man said confidently and openly, “I’m just a pervert.”
Ji Ran was shocked by his rogueness.
He really couldn’t imagine that this expressionless, indifferent learning machine would sneak up behind him after school every day.
”I’ve met you many times. I know better than anyone what kind of person you are.” Qin Man said.
Ji Ran was speechless and looked at him blankly.
After a while, his Adam’s apple moved slightly: “You are really a… flatterer.”
Qin Man chuckled and was about to say something.
”Actually, Zhao Qingtong -” Ji Ran gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment, “she is not as bad as others say.”
This was the first time Ji Ran told others about Zhao Qingtong. In the past, even Cheng Peng only knew a small part of it.
The story is very simple. It is nothing more than a drunken boss who took away the innocence of a female star in a drinking game.
After discovering that the female star was pregnant, her agent immediately contacted the big boss, who ordered an abortion. In order to save her child, the female star gritted her teeth and went to the boss’s house.
The old man took a fancy to the child and discussed it repeatedly with the palace official, who finally nodded. So the female star quit the entertainment industry, gave birth to the child despite rumors and rumors, raised the child firmly amid abuse and discrimination, and finally died in a car accident.
A woman’s youth ends in just a few words.
After Qin Man listened, the smile on his lips had almost disappeared. He was silent for a while and asked, “How do you know these things?”
”She has the habit of writing a diary.” Ji Ran paused, “Ji Guozheng sealed his seal very thoroughly. Although I don’t have evidence now, there will be traces of what he did, and I will find it… ”
”I believe you.” Qin Man interrupted him.
He rubbed the back of Ji Ran’s neck soothingly, “As long as you are willing to tell me, I will believe you.”
Ji Ran’s mouth was still slightly open. He looked at the person in front of him, several words wandered around his mouth, and finally he just softly spit out a syllable.
”……Um.”
It was already nine o’clock in the evening, and neither of them had eaten dinner.
”I’m going to cook some noodles for the whole night.” Qin Man sat up and saw that the people around him still had their eyes closed, and said, “You must endure it first and eat before going to bed.”
After the door closed, Ji Ran slowly opened his eyes.
He sat up with his hands, opened the closet, opened the safe hidden inside, and pulled out a light blue diary from the deepest part.
The notebook is quite old and the pages are almost full. It’s Zhao Qingtong’s notebook.
The first and middle sections are all insignificant daily routines, recording the trivial matters of Zhao Qingtong’s life. Among them, joining the industry, filming, and becoming famous are just stories in a few pages.
Until a certain page, the originally delicate and graceful handwriting suddenly became cluttered. The woman nervously and fearfully recorded the major events in her life, and traces of the pen and ink being blurred by tears could be seen.
Turning back a few pages, there was an extra B-ultrasound photo on the paper.
”Thank you for coming to my world, thank you.”
Under the photo, there is a neat and small line of words. It can be seen that she wrote very seriously, stroke by stroke.
Ji Ran sat on the ground, his back pressed against the wardrobe, staring closely at these words.
He hadn’t opened it for three years, but when he opened it again, it still felt familiar.
Before meeting Ji Guozheng, Zhao Qingtong was a very quiet person. She doesn’t seem to get along well with others and often writes about her troubles in her diary.
After becoming pregnant with Ji Ran, she became a lonely person, and no strangers appeared in her diary.
”I had a severe reaction to the pain. I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it was a physical problem. I don’t know if it will affect the child. I’m worried and praying.”
”The baby kicked me. It was the first fetal movement. Let me commemorate it.”
”I fell down while taking a shower and sat on the ground for more than ten minutes without being able to stand up. I was so scared.”
…
”The boy was born. His assistant took a look at me, and the assistant then told me that he named the child Ji Ran.”
”Xiao Ran has a recurring fever today.”
”Xiao Ran has learned to call mom, I’m happy.”
”Xiao Ran became a Young Pioneer.”
”Xiao Ran has been injured a lot lately. I have to go to Nanshan to pay homage to the Bodhisattva in the next few days.”
From this page, the diary takes another small turn.
From here on, every page will be stained with Zhao Qingtong’s tears, and the dates between each diary entry will become longer and longer——
”Xiao Ran was bullied by a classmate. His face was covered with wounds, and he even had to help me wipe away my tears… I was so useless.”
”Today, I had an argument with Xiaoran for the first time. He said that I was an irresponsible adult. I think he was right. I can’t even protect myself, so what qualifications do I have to raise a child?”
”Grandma Xiaoran came to see me today and said she wanted to send Xiaoran abroad, but I didn’t agree. This was the first time I had a quarrel with that family. I’m so selfish, knowing that he doesn’t have a good time around me, but I still I want to keep him.”
”Today, he invited me out to meet. I haven’t seen him for more than ten years, and I’m a little scared, afraid that he wants to send Xiaoran away again. But I won’t compromise.”
The diary ends abruptly here.
On this day, Zhao Qingtong had a car accident on the road and never came back. This diary also followed the owner’s departure and was perfectly hidden in the pillowcase.
Ji Ran had a sullen face and closed the diary irritably. Because he kept turning the pages for too long, some of the pages at the back were already tilted up. Ji Ran lowered his eyes and caught off guard, he saw a line of small words among the white papers.
He was stunned and quickly turned to the page——
”He is the rainbow after the rainstorm, the sprout after the disaster.”
“It’s also a gift from God to me.”
”I love him forever.”
There was no signature, no date, and no clear indication of who “he” was. Like excerpts taken on a whim by the owner of the diary.
Ji Ran stared at this page blankly. After a few seconds, he hugged the diary tightly in his arms, his nose suddenly sore, his eyes instantly turned red, and he whimpered softly.
