After the Divorce, I Unlocked a Perfect Life

Chapter 169: Chapter 131: Even a Breeder’s Pig Wouldn’t Dare to Mate 7 Times a Week, Right?

"Brother Jiang!"

Just as he got in the car after leaving the mall, Lin Jiang heard someone call out. It was Qin Youyou, whom he hadn’t seen in a while.

"Here to grab a bite?" Lin Jiang asked with a smile.

"Nope. I’m meeting my sister for lunch today. Are you free? Want to join us?"

"Sure, let’s go."

She opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. Qin Youyou was texting on her phone, and Lin Jiang glanced over to see she was chatting with Qin Yangyang.

He hadn’t seen her for a few days, and Qin Youyou’s style of dress had changed significantly.

She was wearing white capri pants, flats, and a beige, round-collared blouse. She’d also been holding a tweed-style jacket, which she had only just taken off when she got in the car.

This slightly professional-looking outfit was a stark contrast to her usual sporty style, making her seem much more mature.

"Haven’t seen you in a few days and you’ve already changed your style."

"Don’t even mention it. I’m going to be chained to the company from now on."

"That busy?"

"There’s just so much to deal with. It’s incredibly frustrating." Qin Youyou slumped against the seat back dejectedly and said,

"I came to pack up my things today and list my apartments here with an agency to rent them out. I won’t have many chances to come here anymore."

"Sounds like you’re planning to take over the family business completely."

"I have no choice. My sister is too strong-willed, and no one can control her. Since she doesn’t want to go back, my parents can’t do anything about it. So I’m the one being sacrificed."

Although Qin Youyou loved to have fun, she knew how to prioritize the bigger picture. The bond between the two sisters was stronger than he had imagined.

He drove the car, and they soon arrived at Jinghe Law Firm.

After parking the car, Qin Youyou took out her phone, ready to make a call.

"Don’t bother. Your sister’s coming out," Lin Jiang said, looking at the entrance.

Her unchanging woman’s suit complemented Qin Yangyang’s stern aura. One look was all it took to know this woman was not to be trifled with.

"Yangyang!"

Before Qin Youyou could even speak, a man’s voice called out from a nearby SF90.

The car door opened, and a young man got out. He wore black sunglasses and was dressed in an exceptionally trendy fashion.

A look of visible disgust appeared on Qin Yangyang’s face. She clutched her bag and quickened her pace, heading toward Lin Jiang’s car.

"Holy crap, why is that guy here?" Qin Youyou said with annoyance.

"You know him?"

"His name is Li Wuyang. He’s a rich kid and one of our family’s shareholders. He’s been chasing my sister recently, and she’s sick to death of him."

’Just as I thought,’ Lin Jiang mused. ’Most women are loyal creatures; they can’t even be bothered to spare a glance for a simp.’

"Yangyang, wait up."

Li Wuyang caught up to her. "I booked a table at a Western restaurant, a new three-star Michelin place. Let’s go check it out."

"Sorry, I have plans."

"Sis!"

Qin Youyou called out from the passenger seat.

Hearing her voice, Qin Yangyang picked up her pace and walked toward Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang thought this sunglasses-wearing simp would give up and leave, but to his surprise, the guy actually followed them and greeted them with casual familiarity.

"Youyou, you’re here," Li Wuyang said with a smile.

"I came to ask your sister to dinner. Since you’re here too, let’s all go together."

"Okay." Qin Youyou looked at Lin Jiang.

"Brother-in-law, Brother Yang is my sister’s friend. Let’s all eat together tonight."

Qin Yangyang: ???

’Useless at everything else, but number one when it comes to making up crap, aren’t you?’

"Huh? Your brother-in-law?"

Li Wuyang’s expression became visibly awkward. Only then did he notice Lin Jiang sitting in the driver’s seat.

He then glanced at the car he was driving. ’This Maybach isn’t cheap. He must have some pull.’

"They’ve been together for a long time. Since we have time today, let’s all eat together," Qin Youyou said with a grin.

"Isn’t my brother-in-law handsome? A perfect match for my sister, right?"

"Uh... yes, a perfect match..."

Faced with a situation like this, Li Wuyang’s single-core CPU was clearly short on processing power.

"Come on, let’s go eat. One more person is no big deal," Qin Youyou said cheerfully.

"And today, everything will be paid for by my tall, handsome, powerful, and domineering brother-in-law."

Qin Yangyang rolled her eyes. ’She’s getting more and more ridiculous.’

"Yangyang, I’m going to head out. Let’s have dinner together some other time."

"Okay."

Li Wuyang turned and left. Qin Youyou muttered, "Why can’t that guy just give up?"

"Just ignore him."

Qin Yangyang got in the car, but seeing Qin Youyou in the passenger seat made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"I’m not sleeping over at your place tonight," Qin Youyou shouted toward the car window, loud enough for anyone outside to hear.

"You two are too much! You go at it until the middle of the night, every single day, not even taking a break on the weekend. It’s messing with my sleep. I’m never staying at your place again."

Lin Jiang: ???

Qin Yangyang: ???

’Even a breeder’s boar wouldn’t dare mate seven times a week, would it?’

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Qin Yangyang pinched Qin Youyou from the back seat, her delicate face blushing crimson.

"Well, I could see he wasn’t giving up. I had to give him a strong dose of reality."

"You’ve completely ruined what little reputation I had."

"It’s just normal stuff between a man and a woman, totally normal. No one will overthink it. Let’s roll, time to eat!"

Qin Yangyang rolled her eyes, not knowing what to say to her.

The three of them arrived at the hot pot restaurant they’d decided on. Since they were all close, they casually ordered some food and started eating.

"By the way, about the divorce, is there anything you need me to do? Or can you handle it yourself?"

"Huh? What divorce?" Qin Youyou asked, completely confused.

"You didn’t tell her?" Lin Jiang asked, looking at Qin Yangyang.

"It’s not exactly good news, so I didn’t mention it."

Qin Youyou studied the two of them. "Why do I get the feeling you two are hiding some unspeakable secret from me?"

Qin Yangyang’s hand froze, and the meatball she was about to put in her mouth fell.

"Your head would be better off thinking about company business."

"My head is about to explode from thinking about it, so don’t you dare bring up the company." Qin Youyou looked at Lin Jiang, her gossip-loving side showing.

"Brother Jiang, why are you getting a divorce? I never heard you mention anything about it."

Lin Jiang didn’t hide anything and explained the situation to Qin Youyou.

"Holy crap, that woman must be crazy."

"Alright, let’s drop it. Hurry up and eat."

The meal wasn’t for anything important, so it quickly devolved into idle chatter.

"Sis, you’ve only had two meatballs and a few vegetables. That’s not nearly enough. Eat some more."

"I worked so hard to lose this weight, I can’t gain it back..."

Just as she finished speaking, Qin Yangyang felt someone kick her under the table. It couldn’t have been anyone but Lin Jiang.

His intention was self-evident.

"Besides, you’re not fat. A few more bites won’t hurt."

"Fine," Qin Yangyang said, looking aggrieved.

Since they weren’t drinking, the meal for the three of them ended quickly.

"I’m not leaving today, I’ll stay at your place," Qin Youyou said.

"Huh? Stay at my place?"

"If I go home, Mom will just nag me again. I really don’t want to go back."

"Well..." Qin Yangyang paused, sneaking a glance at Lin Jiang.

’I have plans to work out with Lin Jiang tonight. If Youyou comes to my place, I won’t be able to get away.’

Lin Jiang was also a bit helpless. ’There’s nothing I can do about this.’

"What’s wrong? You don’t want me to come over?"

"If I said I didn’t want you to, would you actually not go?"

"Of course not."

After dinner, Lin Jiang paid the bill and drove back to Century Triumph.

On the way, it was obvious that Qin Yangyang didn’t want Qin Youyou to come over.

Or rather, she didn’t want her to come over *today*.

But Qin Youyou was slow on the uptake and didn’t think anything of it.

After dropping off the Qin Sisters, Lin Jiang drove away.

The two of them stood there until his taillights disappeared in the distance.

"Let me tell you, you absolutely cannot tell Lin Jiang about our family’s affairs. Not a single word."

"Relax, I didn’t say a word."

...

A few minutes later, Lin Jiang parked the car back in his own spot.

[Task Complete (The Workings of Capital): Reward Super-Alloy Extendable Baton, 40 Points]

He saw the game notification as soon as he got out of the car.

He opened the "Super Fun" app. Bubble’s followers had already surpassed 100,000.

’The follower growth is really fast.’

When he got home, there was a rectangular package at his door.

He took the package inside and closed the door.

It felt quite heavy in his hands. Without a doubt, it was the reward from Tongzi.

He opened the delivery box. Inside was a black metal case that felt very well-made.

After opening the case, he saw the empty space was filled with rigid foam. In the center lay a black extendable baton. It was made of super-alloy but looked similar to stainless steel.

The baton’s design was extremely simple, with no fancy decorations.

In its retracted state, it was about 20 centimeters long. Extended, it was over 60 centimeters. It weighed about one kilogram. He hefted it in his hand and swung it through the air a few times. It felt quite handy.

"Tongzi, this piece of equipment is barely green-tier. Even if you won’t give me an orange-tier, you could at least give me a purple-tier."

Tongzi didn’t respond. Lin Jiang muttered to himself,

"I wonder if there will be other equipment in the future. As long as it’s not cosmetic ’fashion’ items, anything else is fine. I probably couldn’t afford those."

’This task is complete too?’

Lin Jiang opened Qiu Yunong’s account and saw she had 100,023 followers!

’She only had a little over twenty thousand yesterday, but today it shot up to one hundred thousand!’

He looked closer and realized the video they shot yesterday had gone viral!

It already had over 9 million views, which was astounding.

BZZZT BZZZT BZZZT—

Lin Jiang’s phone buzzed. It was a video call from Qiu Yunong.

"Brother Jiang! Brother Jiang! The video from yesterday blew up! My followers broke 100,000!"

"Looks like you caught a wave of traffic. Persistence pays off."

"Actually, I have you to thank. I wouldn’t have gotten such good results otherwise."

"Why? Is it because I was in it?"

"Hehe, not you. Your home was in it."

"What does my home have to do with it? Weren’t you always recording videos here before?"

"Aiya, just go look at the comments and you’ll see."

Lin Jiang opened the comments section and saw there were already over twenty thousand of them.

"What have I done to deserve seeing a young master from Century Triumph making skits for us."

"Mine are bigger than hers, Young Master, please favor me. WOOF WOOF WOOF."

"My mom wants me to ask if the Young Master likes 42-year-olds."

"A loud crack in the sky, your old slave makes a grand entrance."

"No need for a crack in the sky, this old slave brought her own sound system."

After reading the comments, Lin Jiang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"When you edited the video this morning, you left the location tag on, didn’t you."

"You always gave me the edited content before, so I never paid attention to that stuff. I posted it from your house today and accidentally left it on."

"It’s a small issue. Now that the account has 100,000 followers, there’s no need for these kinds of tricks. Don’t forget who you are."

"Hehe, got it, Brother Jiang."

After talking about the account, they chatted a bit more before Lin Jiang hung up and opened his attribute panel.

’Once I finish Qin Yangyang’s task, I can open the Treasure Chest.’

DING-DONG—

The doorbell rang again. He glanced at the video intercom.

The person at the door was, to his surprise, Qin Yangyang!
