Title: My Wife is My Life!
Translator: Fuyu
Chapter 83 - Imminent death warning: within the next two hours, please go pick up your wife, Ji Qingqing, from work and bring 99 roses with you. (4)
"Assistant Director Li, how do you want this matter resolved then?"
"Look, you've already gotten back your endorsement deals. You're not suffering much loss. You and Weiwei are artists in the same company. The two of you will often bump into each other while working here. Don't be too demanding over trivial matters, okay? How about this? Weiwei will apologize to you and that'll be the end of the matter."
Ji Qingqing coldly looked at Assistant Director Li as she listened to him speak. She didn't speak for a while as if she was seriously considering his words.
However, her reply wasn't pleasant to hear.
"Assistant Director Li, I don't agree with your words. What do you mean by trivial matters? I suffered a month of cyber violence. How can an airy apology be a sufficient resolution?"
"What else do you want then?" Gu Shaoyu sneered. "What do you mean by cyber violence? The stuff that's written about you online, is any of it false? I only dumped you a few days ago, and you already found a parvenu to leech off of. What a fickle woman!"
"Fickle?"
Gu Shaoyu looked at her with scorn. "Spending half a million yuan in ten minutes. Ji Qingqing, you haven't changed at all from when you were kept by me. Who's the idiot that you found to spend money on you? Does he not know about your reputation?"
"Kept by you?" Ji Qingqing sounded as if she had heard an absurd joke.
When the novel's Ji Qingqing and Gu Shaoyu had been together, the original owner had truly been in love with him. She wasn't with him for his money and took her status as his girlfriend seriously.
"Mr. Gu, stop joking. The belt that you're wearing right now was bought by me. If we follow your logic, you're the one that was kept by me."
"Ji Qingqing! You..."
The phone that Ji Qingqing had placed on the table rang and cut of Gu Shaoyu before he could continue ranting.
When Ji Qingqing picked it up, she saw that the caller was Lu Lixing.
Shen Weiwei took this opportunity to persuade Gu Shaoyu. "Shaoyu, don't be like this. Calm down."
Persuaded by Shen Weiwei, Gu Shaoyu immediately calmed down. "What is it? Is that parvenu calling you?"
Ji Qingqing couldn't be bothered with him. "Hey... I'm at Tianyu Entertainment. Do you need something?"
Lu Lixing asked her on the phone, "When are you going home?"
Ji Qingqing looked at Gu Shaoyu, that annoying troublemaker. "I'm not sure. Maybe a bit later?"
Lu Lixing said on the phone, "Wait for me then. I'll pick you up from Tianyu Entertainment in the evening."
Gu Shaoyu said, "Ji Qingqing, you're not allowed to leave until this matter is settled!"
Shen Weiwei said in a shaky voice, "Shaoyu, don't be like that. It's my fault. Don't be so mean to her."
"Enough! Stop arguing over each other. Calm down. We came here to resolve a problem, not start a new one!"
Ji Qingqing rolled her eyes at them and perfecuntorily said to Lu Lixing, "Okay, sure. I'm hanging up if there's nothing else."
After ending the call, Ji Qingqing rolled up her sleeves.
Just because she didn't flip out, these two people thought she was a pushover?
Right now, she had Lu Lixing, a supporter that was as monumental as a mountain on her side!
Translator Ramblings: For a while, I found the tasks given by the system funny and part of that is because Lu Lixing is only annoyed by them, but in part 77, he seems so worn down. I find him pitiful. He's being held hostage by a system when he hasn't done anything wrong.
I was hoping that taking a month’s break from translating it would change how I felt, but I still don’t like the direction that the author went with the story. I’m dropping My Wife is My Life at chapter part 83 (raw chapter 21). I'm sorry to disappoint you guys. I’ll be replacing STP with Marrying the Soft-hearted Villain.
