Chapter 349 – Yuan Qi Awakens

Yuan Yong arrived very quickly; Yuan Qi and Ye Jing didn’t have to wait long. This also demonstrated how much Yuan Yong valued his daughter Yuan Qi.

“Dad…” As soon as Yuan Yong entered, Yuan Qi immediately saw him.

At first glance, Yuan Qi noticed that her father’s mood seemed quite bad. This kind of expression was rare for her, but she knew it was the expression her father wore when he was very angry and furious, and it was quite frightening.

“Dad…” Before Ye Jing could finish his call, Yuan Yong had already taken a few steps towards him and immediately threw a punch at his face.

With a thud, the fist struck Ye Jing’s face, making a very loud noise.

Unprepared, Ye Jing let out a pained wail. When he looked up again, his face was already swollen, red, and blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

It was clear that Yuan Yong had used considerable force with that punch.

Ye Jing even felt that his teeth were a bit loose.

Moreover, after throwing the punch, Yuan Yong intended to continue swinging.

Ye Jing was terrified and quickly hid behind Yuan Qi.

To be honest, facing Yuan Yong like this, Ye Jing was scared.

Ye Jing was only about 1.73 meters tall, with a delicate and slender physique.

In contrast, Yuan Yong was nearly 1.90 meters tall, with a tall, muscular build.

When the two stood together, there was no comparison in strength.

Perhaps it was because he couldn’t attain what he desired or ‘because he couldn’t eat grapes, he said the grapes were sour’. Previously, Ye Jing had looked down on Yuan Yong’s large, tall figure, thinking he was just an uncultured brute.

“Dad, what are you doing? Are you crazy?” Yuan Qi hurriedly tried to stop him.

“Qiqi, move aside. Today, I’m going to kill this beast.”

“Dad, is there no other way to talk things out? Must you resort to violence, especially in the president’s office? Please calm down.”

“Qiqi, you don’t even know what this beast has done. He doesn’t deserve your protection.”

Considering his pregnant daughter and the presence of Jiang Wenxu, Yuan Yong’s temper was slightly restrained.

“Dad, aren’t you here because of the cancellation of Ajing’s study abroad opportunity? Didn’t you promise me that Ajing would be able to go abroad?”

Yuan Yong was so angry he laughed, “Good that it was canceled. Do you know why his name was crossed off?”

Yuan Qi shook her head.

Ye Jing had a bad premonition and was about to say something when Yuan Yong spoke first.

“Because he’s a beast. Before you, he was already married with children—two kids!”

“Qiqi, he has always been deceiving you.”

“Do you think such a heartless man would return after going abroad? Do you think he would contribute to society and his country after his studies? Nonsense! As soon as he can go abroad, he’ll leave you and the child just like he left his wife and children in the countryside, without a second thought, and never come back!”

Yuan Yong’s words hit Yuan Qi like a thunderclap, leaving her momentarily stunned.

“Qiqi, look clearly at the true nature of the person you’ve always loved and protected.”

Yuan Qi stared blankly for a while before reacting. She turned around and looked at Ye Jing.

“Qiqi, let me explain. I didn’t mean to deceive you. I was just afraid you would be upset if you found out.”

“Qiqi, I didn’t marry her willingly. I don’t love her at all. The person I love most is you.”

“Qiqi, please believe me.”

“…”

Yuan Qi asked in a daze, “So, you really did get married and have children back in your hometown?”

Ye Jing was silent for a moment before nodding.

He knew that if Yuan Yong said so, then his past had definitely been investigated.

So denying it would be useless.

He finally understood why his study abroad opportunity had been canceled. Damn it.

Why did he have to find out now, of all times? Why couldn’t it have waited until after he went abroad?

Now… everything was over.

Ye Jing knew that with this revelation, his chance of going abroad again was a pipe dream.

Now, the only thing he could hold onto was Yuan Qi.

So he grabbed Yuan Qi’s hand, his eyes pleading.

Actually, if this had happened before, Ye Jing’s pleading and aggrieved expressions would have softened Yuan Qi’s heart, and she would have compromised.

But now, Ye Jing seemed to have forgotten that he had just been punched by Yuan Yong, leaving his face looking like a swollen pig’s head. This made it hard for Yuan Qi to feel any sympathy.

Nevertheless, Yuan Qi was deeply hurt by the truth.

It was only then that she realized.

Everything her father had told her before was true.

It turned out that Ye Jing was truly not a good person.

He was able to abandon his wife and two children back in his hometown, so he could just as easily abandon her. If he really went abroad, then even if she learned the truth later, she would have no one to turn to, no place to cry, no one to confide in.

Ye Jing had concealed everything so well.

She hadn’t noticed anything before.

Maybe it was her own foolishness.

Looking back, it seemed that Ye Jing’s feelings for her were only a façade, using her as a stepping stone.

She had been nothing more than a tool for him.

Yuan Qi didn’t understand why she suddenly saw things so clearly. Her mind, which had seemed veiled in mist, suddenly cleared up.

She realized that she had been deceived by Ye Jing and recognized how foolish she had been before.

She even saw how much she had hurt her father with her actions.

Clearly, before meeting Ye Jing, she wasn’t like this. She might have been somewhat naive, but she wasn’t stupid or foolish.

In reality, Yuan Qi’s perception was correct.

Her encounter with Ye Jing was part of her original fate as a cannon fodder.

In the original plot, after Ye Jing went abroad, Yuan Qi, who had been abandoned and learned the truth, didn’t awaken. Instead, she went mad because she couldn’t accept the reality.

Now, the reason she was able to awaken so quickly was because of Xu Jinning.

In the grand scheme of things, because of Xu Jinning’s intervention, Ye Jing was unable to go abroad, causing the plot to shift and Yuan Qi’s fate as a cannon fodder to change and awaken.

Thus, Yuan Qi, now awakened, realized just how confused and irrational she had been before.

At this moment, Yuan Qi was terrifyingly clear-headed, as if she had instantly become a different person.

“Qiqi, you…” Ye Jing felt an increasing sense of dread as he saw Yuan Qi’s gaze towards him gradually become indifferent and calm.

“Ye Jing, I didn’t expect you to be that kind of person. Since you already have a wife and children, I, Yuan Qi, cannot be part of a situation where two women share one man. So…”

“I will be divorcing you.”

“And…”

She looked at Yuan Yong, her eyes full of guilt. “Dad, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have ignored you before. I will divorce Ye Jing, and as for this child…”

She looked down at her belly. “Dad, please take me to have an ab*rtion.”
