Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 2

Chen Jili finally turned around and raised his eyebrows. There was a trace of impatience in his eyes. What trouble was this woman making?

Seeing that he was not convinced, she moved and instead picked up the divorce paper on the table and walked directly to Chen Jili. She handed him the divorce paper and the brush.

Chen Jili didn’t raise his hand. His eyes just swept over the content on the paper, and then there was a trace of ridicule on his face. The person who wanted to have children with him a few days ago was saying this?

Stupid and ridiculous.

He turned and wanted to go, he didn’t want to talk to her.

“Chen Jili, you sign the paper. I will leave Chen’s house immediately and never be entangled with you again.”

Chen Jili turned back. His eyes were unwilling to stay on Ning Qing’s face more. He was displeased and said, “Are you so bored?”

Ning Qing looked at the man in front of her. He had always ignored her and didn’t take her words seriously.

“Wasn’t this what you have always wanted. I will fulfill it today. Why? You still don’t believe it?”

Chen Jili snorted and turned around, his deep eyes had a hint of playfulness.

“Why? Didn’t you say that you want to have a child before being separated from me.”

Having a child! Ning Qing laughed at herself, but she couldn’t suppress the soreness in her heart.

She always wanted to have a child belonging to them, eyes like him, nose like him, and lips like him. It was best to be exactly the same as him.

That would be like having him.

But it was her wishful thinking after all.

That day, he returned home drunk and spoke his heart.

Ning Qing knew that in this life it was impossible.

The love she insisted on collapsed that night, leaving nothing but a mess.

Chen Jili looked down at this woman who was playing tricks. Didn’t she know that the more she played tricks, the more disgusted he was with her?

Within the three years of their marriage, her tricks got bigger. Now she was threatening him with divorce. Was this woman too unrestrained, or did she not take him seriously? She thought that he would be afraid of her threat?

“Well, how can I disappoint you!” Chen Jili’s tone was full of maliciousness.

After which he took the brush from Ning Qing’s hand and signed his name quickly.

He then stared at Ning Qing’s face, he wanted to see her panic-stricken and embarrassed look.

Inexplicably as he was anticipating, he was more determined in his heart that she would beg him within a moment. She was only using this as a means to intimidate him, and had no real thoughts of separation.

However, there was a possibility that she would tear off the paper with her sloppy temperament, and would not admit her fault.

Either way, this stupid woman digged a pit and jumped on her own. She deserved it!

Ning Qing looked at the divorce paper in her hand. All the depression and pain she felt for many years were drained out in a flash, and she felt that she was alive again.

It turned out that she really let go of him.

Chen Jili didn’t expect it. Ning Qing was afraid that the ink was not dry. She took the paper and blew on it. After the sign was dry, she folded it carefully and put it into her sleeves.

Then, without turning back, she lifted the curtain away.

Seeing Ning Qing leave, Chen Jili froze for a moment. Did she really want to separate? He immediately thought that with her temperament she must be playing other tricks. Did she think that he would chase her?

Chen Jili sneered.

Besides, if she voluntarily broke up with him, Chen Jili, would not believe it. After so many years, she finally climbed into his bed with unbearable means and became his wife. Would she give up?

He thought that he would be threatened again. So he went to the study room to get a few books, and fled from Chen’s courtyard.

　　…

Ning Qing, who left Chen’s house, hired a carriage to leave Sucheng. She came to a place called Qingshuipan, a small village dozens of miles away from Sucheng.

Looking at the house with the small courtyard, Ning Qing felt a long-lost peace in her heart. Perhaps this was the life she wanted.

In these years with Chen Jili, she had tried her best to catch up with him, trying to become like Li Shuangshuang. She tried hard to imitate her, but in the eyes of Chen Jili, she was just a ridiculous dong shi xiao pin.

She would never learn Li Shuangshuang’s gentleness and virtue, and her outstanding talents.

She was still her, the woman who was so vulgar.

Miao:

东施效颦 (dong shi xiao pin) is based on a story of the ordinary woman ‘Dong shi’ and the Chinese beauty ‘Xi Shi’. Literally the idiom translates into “Dong shi copy frown”.

西施 Xi Shi is one of the Chinese beauties. Her beauty is such that it shines through even when she frowns from illness. 东施 Dong Shi is an ugly woman who desperately wants to become pretty. Dong Shi sees Xi Shi frowning and copies her frown, but unfortunately for Dong Shi, it only makes her uglier.
