Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 88

This chapter is sponsored by Mei Na!

Chen Jili came back very late that day. Li Shuangshuang didn’t wait for him. In the next few days, Chen Jili left early and returned late. Li Shuangshuang didn’t find a suitable opportunity to talk to him.

According to the person who was beside him, Chen Jili was still looking for Ning Qing. Upon hearing this news, Li Shuangshuang accidentally scratched her palm in anger.

The wound was deep to the bones. She didn’t stop the bleeding but covered her chest and watched the bright blood drip on the carpet. Li Shuangshuang’s face grieved with a sorrowful smile.

She waited for so many years. She thought that she had no chance with him and married someone. But the opportunity came again, the man died, and Ning Qing finally left him.

She couldn’t wait any longer. She wanted to ask Chen Jili for a future. Because her heart was restless, the peace that she had always been afraid of had now become her obsession.

She always thought that Chen Jili’s marriage to Ning Qing was forced due to the marriage contract, which came from the arrangement of his father Chen Wangxiang and the transaction between the two families. Chen Jili had no feelings for Ning Qing, so she was determined to wait for him to marry her.

Now she didn’t think so. She was eager to be his woman. Only when she became his woman could she live her life steadily in this East courtyard. She knew that Chen Jili was a responsible man.

The maid who came into the house saw Li Shuangshuang’s hand, then looked at the blood on the carpet, and the plate in her hand almost fell.

Li Shuangshuang said with a smile, “No need to panic. It’s nothing. I heard that there is a Jinchuang ointment in the master’s room. You can help me get it.”

The maid left quickly. She not only brought Jinchuang ointment, but also Chen Jili. (Chinese medicine for external skin wounds)

“How did you get hurt?” Chen Jili looked at such a large pool of blood on the ground and was concerned.

“I scratched it accidentally, it’s nothing. How come you come back early today?”

“Such a big wound is nothing. You should be careful. If the little maid didn’t come to ask me for medicine you wouldn’t have even told me about it.”

Chen Jili spread the medicine he brought on the wound and let the girl wrap the wound with a clean veil.

After everything was done, the maid cleaned up the blood stains on the carpet, and Li Shuangshuang welcomed Chen Jili to the inside room with her injuries.

The interior was separated by gauze curtains. Inside the bed curtains, bedding and pillow cases were repurchased according to Li Shuangshuang’s preferences and embroidered with various patterns that she loved. They were pink and purple.

Chen Jili helped her to go to bed. He covered her with a quilt and told her, “Have a good sleep. I will send someone to bring some more medicine.”

Li Shuangshuang knew that he wanted to leave after he had finished speaking. She didn’t care that there was a maid in the outer room, she plunged into Chen Jili’s arms and hugged his waist.

“Jili, don’t go tonight, stay with me,” she said in her most gentle voice.

But the body between her arms was obviously stiff. He gently pulled her arm away and said, “You are injured, take a good rest!”

He was refusing her again. She felt that her courtesy and humiliation was useless in front of him.

Li Shuangshuang couldn’t help but ask, “You used to say that you wanted to give me status before touching me. It’s no longer the case now. Do you dislike me? Do you dislike that I had another man? But all you know is not what I wanted. I was forced by my sister-in-law as they had no free money to support me. I had to marry. I was also helpless. Jili you also said you would marry me as a wife but you didn’t. How will I, an orphan, live?”

Chen Jili looked at the woman in front of him. Facing her questioning, he was silent. He promised Mr. Mu that he would take good care of her. But with the situation at that time, coupled with his father’s oppression, he couldn’t keep his promise. He could only use silver to compensate her, but she didn’t want money. She wanted to marry him.

He did owe her. Therefore, he took care of her without complaint and tried not to let her be wronged. Yet she still suffered the wrongs and tasted bitterness.

“Shuangshuang, I got you back because I was afraid that you would be bullied by that family, not for any other reasons,” Chen Jili’s voice sounded exhausted. The woman was too troublesome.

“Ji Li!” Li Shuangshuang was stunned, and then fell into Chen Jili’s arms. She said softly, “I don’t ask for fame, I don’t ask for anything. I just want to be able to stay by your side and serve you, alright?”

“It’s fine if we didn’t get married as long as we are together. You said that you like me, didn’t you? I always remembered it.”

Chen Jili did say that. He remembered that when he saw her for the first time, she was so beautiful, so different. All the eyes of boys were focused on her, and he was the same.

But at the same time, he also felt that the little girl Ning Qing looked at him with bright eyes. The little girl tried hard to cover up, but she still provoked him.

This little girl had a close relationship with him. She had been his little fiancee for several years. He also had some unclear feelings about her. He didn’t understand what it was.
