Chapter 318: 317: Diverting Some Attention to My Mother, So I Don’t Have to be a Monk for Life (Third Update)

Translator: 549690339

The night was getting late.

Song Zhizhi lay wearily on her bed.

From time to time, they would engage in marital activities. Every time after, she would just lay there, not even wanting to wiggle her toes.

The man who took the initiative, however, was vigorous and lively.

Song Zhizhi drowsily slept on a certain someone’s embrace.

Ji Baijian held Song Zhizhi tightly in his arms.

His eyes slightly moving, he saw the cell phone screen by the bed light up.

He reached out and grabbed his phone.

The screen automatically unlocked, revealing an unread message, “Ji Baijian, I’ve had some time to think about this. I would regret it for the rest of my life if I can’t win you over.”

Ji Baijian ignored the message.

Just as he was about to put his phone down, another message popped up. “I know you won’t reply and you probably just glanced at my last message. But I must say what I need to say. Today you sent me to a banquet with people from the Commercial Management. You knew your wife will ask me for help, didn’t you? You know I have been looking for a breakthrough in my cooperation with Commercial Management, so you thought of this method for me. And you are aware that your wife is in trouble now, but I am just the person who can lend her a hand. Ji Baijian, not only did you get me a favor, but you also saved your wife’s career. This is a tactic that no one except you can think of! Do you realize that you could bring disaster if you fell into the wrong hands?”

So.

He didn’t want to fall into anyone’s hands, nor did he want to harm anyone.

He usually kept his phone on silent when at home, but this time he simply switched it off.

He didn’t agree to cooperate with Jun Mingyu. Although he knew that he couldn’t avoid dealing with the official family in his life, this wasn’t the right time for him to take sides.

The reason he gave a suggestion under Jun Mingyu’s persistent bombardment of messages and calls was not a last resort as much as it was his intricate planning. He thought of many ways to undermine Qian Guanshu and Ye Wenhan. The only safest and most effective one was to let the official family confront Ye Wenhan directly.

The official family has been watching keenly over the years. Once they got an opportunity, they would not give up easily. All he had to do was watch how things unfolded.

Just as he put down his phone.

The phone rang suddenly.

Song Zhizhi twisted her body uncomfortably. Naturally, her phone was ringing.

She reached out impatiently, eyes closed, searching for her phone.

Ji Baijian watched her, smiling indulgently. He reached over to pick up her phone. Seeing the caller’s name, he answered it for her.

A loud voice came from the other side, “Song Zhizhi, how late will you be out there?! Aren’t you going to go home this late, or are you planning to cuckold Ji Baijian?! Do you know that I’ve been waiting for you outside for a long time. Are you also tormenting Xiaolang like this, having her wait and wait and wait for you …”

“Yin Qin.” Ji Baijian interrupted him, his deep voice cutting off his excited speech.

A two-second silence on the other side, then a slow, “I’m sorry to have disturbed.”

Suddenly, the call was hung up.

Song Zhizhi groped around for her phone for a while. When she opened her eyes and saw Ji Baijian holding her phone, she took a moment to react. “Who called me?”

“Yin Qin.”

“Ah.” Song Zhizhi cried out, “I forgot to tell Yin Qin that I’ve gone home. He said he would pick me up tonight.”

She seemed a bit guilty at that moment.

“It’s okay. He’s already gone home,”

“Did he get really mad earlier?” Song Zhizhi still felt somewhat guilty.

“No.”

Song Zhizhi was skeptical.

Ji Baijian put down her phone and pinned her under him. “My dear, you seem to be rather spirited.”

Ji Baijian, please stay away from me!

Yin Qin was holding his phone, absolutely furious.

He was shaking with anger.

Yet he didn’t dare vent his anger on Ji Baijian.

That man could hold a grudge. If he insulted Ji Baijian and offended his wife, he would probably suffer the consequences.

He angrily threw his phone into the driving compartment.

Damn, he had waited outside the whole evening.

He drove home.

His mood was still somewhat agitated. It wasn’t merely because Song Zhizhi had stood him up. Just thinking about Luo Xiaolang being exposed made him extremely upset.

He had gone to see Weng Cheng that night.

These little moves could only be his doing.

But no matter what, he wouldn’t admit, and without evidence, Yin Qin could only seethe with rage!

But when he thought of the news that would be released tomorrow, he still couldn’t stay calm.

He drove home.

His father was watching TV in the living room at home, and his mother must have been in her room.

Whenever his father was around, his mother would avoid him if she could. It was clear to see she really had great disdain for his father.

At this moment, Yin Qin sits directly on the sofa next to his father.

It surprises Yin Bin that his son rarely takes the initiative to seek him out.

He straightens his body, showing the stern demeanor of a father.

Yin Qin seems a bit casual in comparison; lounging on the sofa, he says, “Luo Xiaolang, who helps me with my live streams, got photographed by reporters and exposed. What do you think I should do?”

Yin Bin doesn’t answer.

Yin Qin turns to look at him impatiently and says, “Dad, I’m asking you.”

“Is this how one asks for help?” Yin Bin puts on a high and mighty demeanor.

Yin Qin doesn’t understand why his father has to be so obsessed with maintaining face even to the point of courting death.

Looking back at how they’ve been dealing with things over the years, it does seem suicidal.

Speechless, Yin Qin straightens up and asks slowly, “Dad, how can I help Luo Xiaolang avoid being exposed? I don’t want to get her into trouble! I’m asking for your advice.”

“There’s no use begging me!”

Yin Qin gets angry.

Is this old man trying to tease him?!

Just as he’s about to explode,

Yin Bin begins to speak, “Since she’s already been photographed by reporters, the only one who dares to leak your news is Wenfeng Media, which is the biggest competitor of the Milky Way Group. Even if I intervened, do you think they would give me face?”

“You could’ve just admitted outright you couldn’t do anything about it! You businessmen always like to beat around the bush…”

“Perhaps I can’t stop the news from being exposed, but at least I know how to get Luo Xiaolang in a bit less trouble,” Yin Bin speaks directly.

Yin Qin suddenly becomes obedient, looking at him with hopeful eyes.

“Instead of allowing the other side to expose Luo Xiaolang’s identity, it’s better to openly admit your relationship with her. When you don’t know what the other side wants to do with your news, why act as their puppet? The best way is to take the initiative before the news becomes a big deal, thus making it uninteresting to the public and have no effects whatsoever,” Yin Bin tells Yin Qin, “So you should know what to do next without me telling you, right?”

He’s not a fool. With everything spelled out so clearly, of course he knows what to do.

Yin Bin stands up from the sofa, appears to be ready to go back to his room to rest.

Looking at his father’s receding figure, Yin Qin says, “Dad, if you would divide some of the energy you use in the business world and apply it to my mom, you wouldn’t have become a lifelong monk.”

Yin Bin freezes for a moment.

At this moment, Yin Qin has also exited the room.

As he leaves, he roars, “My mom’s figure is so good. I feel sorry for you!”

His voice is very loud.

Because he fears his dad might not hear him.

And his mom did hear his loud shouting.

Qin Keqin is coming downstairs to get some water.

She didn’t expect to hear her son’s unabashed voice as soon as she was on the stairs.

She looks somewhat grim and appears very indifferent as she walks past Yin Bin.

Suddenly, Yin Bin says, “I heard you have a great figure.”

Qin Keqin pauses and turns around, “And how does that concern you?”

“Qin Keqin, whose name is with yours on the marriage license?”

“A dog’s.”

“Qin Keqin!” Yin Bin is furious at this moment.

Qin Keqin leaves with her back to Yin Bin, paying no attention to Yin Bin’s temper.

However, there’s suddenly a smirk appearing on her face.

Being able to trigger Yin Bin that much gives her a great sense of achievement.

Furious, Yin Bin went straight back to his room.

He’d have to be mad to feel tempted by Qin Keqin.

What good would a nice figure do?

He has lived alone for half of his life. It’s not a big deal!

He keeps telling himself to calm down.

He breathes heavily, trying to control his rising temper.

After a while, it seems that he has finally calmed down.

But suddenly, his son’s words about Qin Keqin having a great figure resurface in his mind…

He thinks carefully.

That was such a long time ago.

His heart suddenly skips a beat, and his body experiences a slight fluctuation…

Yin Bin rushes directly to the bathroom, the cold water pouring over himself, nipping the situation in the bud.

He would never allow himself to be tempted by Qin Keqin.

Never ever!
