Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 5

Chen Jilifu took off his jacket again, made his bed, habitually laid on the outside of the bed, and went to sleep.

In the middle of the night, he got thirsty. He touched the cupboard beside the bed. It was empty and there was no tea.

He was really angry. She didn’t even prepare tea? This was not the case before. Even if the two were no longer happy, she did her duty as a wife.

He got up, poured tea, drank it and quenched his thirst.

When he went to bed again, he found that the bedding was still neat on the back of the bed.

He suddenly remembered the papers he signed a few days ago.

He was startled!

She wouldn’t really leave now!

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Anyone could leave him, but she would never leave him.

But why was there a trace of confusion in his heart?

Chen Jili turned around and touched the flame on the table. He lit the oil lamp, and the room lit up.

He looked at her makeup box, it was still there.

Just as he guessed! How could she leave him!

His heart fell back to its original place.

When he came back on weekdays, she sat in front of the bronze mirror and dressed up.

He didn’t know what was inside. He was not interested in knowing. In the end, it would be just some ornaments from her house.

He laughed at himself.

But where did she go?

She just wanted a child, and since they were husband and wife, as long as she behaved, why not give her a child!

But his eyes swept to the corner of the wall. Wasn’t there a box? Why was it gone?

That box was her dowry!

Chen Jili heart sank. He took a step, opened her closet and found it empty.

He then opened her makeup box and found it empty as well.

His mind went blank.

In addition to these, what else belonged to her. Apart from these, there was no longer anything to confirm that she was still there.

Chen Jili went through the house and couldn’t find anything that belonged to her.

Was she really gone?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

But what kept appearing in front of him was the night she decided to leave.

It was hard to wait till dawn before going out. Chen Jili saw Shen Ma.

“You tell her to move back. How can she leave the house? She does not understand the rules at all!” His tone was full of condemnation.

Shen Ma glanced at the young master, and said disrespectfully, “You are separated, the lady will not come back.”

She was a slave, and she should not be qualified to be angry with her master.

In the past few days, something was wrong with her lady. She also rewarded her with many jewellery and silver saying that it was her money for her retirement.

Sure enough, the lady broke up with the master that day. She packed up things, and made an early plan to leave. When she returned to the house, it was already empty, and she knew that lady was gone. She left a letter telling her not to get worried and to take care of her body.

Thinking of this, Shen Ma was uncomfortable.

“You dare to say this to me. Does she want me to bring her back in a big sedan chair? You tell her, it is impossible!” He was a little angry.

In this marriage, she was the only one who bowed her head to him. Now that he was asking about her, she should be content.

“The old slave doesn’t know where the lady is.”

Chen Jili thought that she was angry.

“Shen Ma, she has always been close to you. You don’t know where she is? Do you think I will believe it?”

“The old slave really does not know where the lady is now. Believe it or not, what this old slave said is true.”

Was she really not in the house? Where would she go? Her parents and sister-in-law moved out of Sucheng, and the only one who could speak to her was Ersao. But Ersao knew that they weren’t in harmony, and she would definitely not let her move into her house.

He looked at the sky outside. There were still things that needed to be dealt with in the business. No matter where she went, since she wanted to make trouble, just let her. She would come back to him naturally.

She would not leave him.
