Chapter 5: Married Women

Things in the world are always so coincidental, the woman who cried on the phone, the woman who Gu Feng argued with Yu Jingxi, was actually the one I was looking for. Connecting the dots of today's events, I already have a synopsis of a story about her in my head. A rich young grandmother who was troubled by divorce, when she was frustrated, took a subway that she would never have a chance to take, met a candid photographer, and then called her sister for comfort, and then the angry sister found Gu Feng for her sister's anger, if Yu Jingxi only had one sister, things should be like this.

"How many sisters do you have?" I blurted out.

"There are a few more, only one, of course."

"What's it called?" I was anxious to know what the woman was doing, and continued to ask.

"Why do you ask this?" After speaking, Yu Jingxi looked at me with another strange look.

"Just ask."

"My sister's name is Yu Qingyan." She took off her shoes and walked up to me, consciously pouring herself a glass of wine.

Yu Qingyan, this name is really in line with her temperament.

"She's Gu Feng's wife?"

"For the time being, not for a while. If I hadn't come back in time, my sister would have been cheated by something that wasn't human. ”

"How?" I suddenly became interested in listening to the little Mustang talk about her sister, and although it was all mundane and trivial, I was attracted to listen to it all the time.

"The woman outside Gu Feng came to the house to make trouble when she was pregnant with a child, forcing my sister to divorce Gu Feng, my sister was soft-hearted, and she was persuaded by Gu Feng's rhetoric a few times, and she actually agreed to the divorce, and she didn't ask Gu Feng for anything. Then I must be worthless for my sister, if you want to sign a divorce agreement, you have to peel off a layer of skin on the Gu family, my sister's eight years of youth have been spent in their Gu family, and now she is swept out of the house silently, there is no such cheap thing in the world! ”

"Your sister is short of money? Or are you short on money? Whenever this kind of tearing of the skin occurs, human beings always like to measure the weight of feelings by the amount of money, and she seems to be no exception.

"When there are no emotions to speak of, money is the most practical thing. My sister and I are not short of money, but Gu Feng has to pay the price, and I want him to pay what he values most! This marriage is going to leave him, and he will be upset, heartbroken, and regretful! ”

"Understood, Miss Justice." Yu Jingxi told me that I suddenly thought of these four words to describe her, and she is also an interesting person.

"Huh?" She looked at me with some bewilderment, as if she hadn't reacted to her sister's story.

"Say you."

"Oh! Don't count, I just can't see my sister being wronged. Speaking of which, she is too kind, and people like to hold soft persimmons and pinch them hard! Especially Gu Feng, a two-faced person, now I can see through him, I was really blind to call him his brother-in-law for eight years, bah blah blah. She has a posture that she can't contain, and she can unfold n kinds of imagination on her own with a little talk, which probably refers to people like her.

"This has nothing to do with kindness, maybe your sister has already seen through Gu Feng's character, and it just so happens that the appearance of that junior made her make up her mind."

"Such an insightful ......" she looked at me with a complicated look that made me a little uncomfortable. Maybe she noticed something unusual about me, but she wouldn't know more.

"I've watched a lot of movies." It is often said that life is like a play, and as a demon, I am the best audience to watch them perform various acts. I have lived for thousands of years, and I have seen the warmth and coldness of the world for thousands of years, and many things that happen to everyone in every era seem different on the surface, but the essence is the same. Just like Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing in the Water Margin, the author created these two characters in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and people who have read this story for hundreds of years have all scolded these two novel characters, but this kind of characters and similar stories are still staged repeatedly in reality.

"Imagination is abundant." Yu Jingxi gave me a thumbs up and pulled back the small curls on her forehead. Looking at her, I suddenly remembered the embarrassed appearance of that woman wearing my baseball cap, a little cute and a little mature, it was really indescribable.

"What are you stealing fun?"

"Nope." I immediately straightened up a grim face again, and collected my wandering thoughts.

"It's hard to imagine that your ice cube face can actually smile, and you smile so beautifully, a heart is almost melted by your laughter." Yu Jingxi shook her head and kept looking at me, but her tone didn't seem to be sincere.

"There are so many things you can't imagine." Not many days have passed since I said this, and I have really done a lot of unimaginable things one after another, things that even I didn't imagine—stupid things.

I found you in less than a day, Yu Qingyan. It's the first time I've remembered human names so clearly, and the first time I've thought human names are so good, is rock climbing something I'm about to do? The answer is imminent. A week after that, I let go of what I didn't really matter, what could I call it insignificant? As long as it's not about her Yu Qingyan, everything can be called inconsequential now.

With a little curiosity, I began to ask Banlu to investigate a qiē about her. Family, background, upbringing, personal files are all not spared. But after I calm down, I will introspect again, why am I doing this? Demons never do it for the sake of humans, so should I put down my pride as the Thunder Monarch for an unclean soul? For the sake of a woman who has only met once, it seems that I can't do that part, and besides, I am still on a mission to revive the underworld, I should find the Spirit of Light and return to the underworld, and after a week of investigation, my initial fanaticism faded little by little.

"Madara, what have I been up to lately?" I sat alone on the top floor of the tallest building in Ginza Times Square, staring at the computer screen on my desk, on which was a resume of Yu Qingyan, and in the upper right corner there was a two-inch photo of her, at that time she was only in her early eighteen, with a little green and youthful vitality on her face.

"Only one thing, to investigate a filthy soul." Spotted Deer glanced at the computer and then at me.

"An unclean soul indeed." I spoke with half loss and half hesitation, the kind of soul that the demons disdained the most, the soul that even the hellhound of the spotted deer looked down on, a married woman. But does uncleanness in this sense really represent her uncleanness? Her temperament is obviously so different and so uncorroded by the world.

"Your Highness, you are a little off track right now, and the spotted deer must warn you that this is an extremely dangerous thing, especially with unclean souls." Spotted deer is clearer than me, and his sensibility regardless of the occasion has become rational in this matter.

"Aside from your prejudice against her soul, what do you think of her?"

"Want to hear the truth?" Banlu held his chin in one hand and his arm in the other, and paced back and forth in serious thought.

"Of course."

"She is not fit for Your Highness. You also know that human beings are not the same as our genderless demons, in their society there is a difference between men and women, and it is absolutely taboo for women to be together. Adam and Eve, who stole the forbidden fruit, does Your Highness remember what happened to them? ”

"Cast out of the Garden of Eden." But these are two completely different things, I don't think it's so strict, I'm just curious about Yu Qingyan as a human being.

"Yes, you can leave the world at any time, but she can't, unless she ......" As a hellhound, Spotted Deer thinks a lot, and he is already thinking in the human way of thinking, and even thinking about them, which I am not as good as him.

"Unless she dies." Death is nothing to us, so I said it easily, but behind this easy sentence I had an extra layer of worry. Worry comes from an emotion that humans call unbearable. Heart, humanoid demons have no heart. But demons need hearts, and they need people of the Spirit of Light to give this heart full of emotion, so that we can truly become a perfect species of soul and body in one.

"That's right, but demons must not destroy the order and cognition of human beings, this is the warning of the seven fallen angels before we come, I hope Your Highness has not forgotten."

"Yes, I didn't forget it." How could I personally do something to guide her to death, it is the duty of the god of death, and I can't cross the line to snatch their jobs. Besides, I don't want her to fall into the dark.

"So......" Spotted Deer waited for me to make a decision.

"I don't have to check it again from tomorrow." I sighed and made up my mind, but my eyes stayed on the photo. I suddenly envied the crane, that cunning guy used his male identity to deceive a lot of women after coming to the world, if I also chose to be a man before I came, wouldn't there be any taboos?

"I don't think it's necessary from now on, Your Highness." Banlu approached me, turned off the power on my computer screen, and looked at me very strictly.

“ok。” After saying that, I popped out a light blue photoelectric with my middle finger, and the computer on the table immediately sparked and turned into a pile of waste.

"Throw it away with all her stuff." After a small sabotage, I stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass window, my face was reflected in the blue-gray window, why was there a trace of loss in this face that had never been expressionless. Things are thrown away, but I also remember what should be remembered, how to clear the memory? A question keeps circulating in my mind, Yu Qingyan, should I meet you or not?

"Your Highness, then Banban is now rearranging tomorrow's itinerary for you?" After cleaning up the destruction site, the spotted deer walked into my office with a tablet.

"Okay." I'm still standing in front of the window, frozen.

"Your itinerary tomorrow morning is to attend the equity hearing of the banking committee, and there are two appointments in the afternoon, one is to hear about the acquisition plan of ZX Group, and the other is that Mr. Gu of Gufeng Group wants you to find time to have dinner together."

"You know I don't have the habit of eating with humans, the last one to cancel." Although Gu Feng didn't know how he offended me, he had been trying his best to please me recently.

"The location is at his house." Spotted deer deliberately added a sentence with an obvious purpose.

"Put Gu Feng on the blacklist of QM, and then remove all the projects that Gu Feng is now cooperating with us and change to a partner." When I thought of his relationship with Yu Qingyan, I was even more angry, and I simply wanted to cut off his financial route.

"Are you sure you won't go?" My bias was obvious, so Spotted Deer didn't say yes, just asked me again.

"No, no." When Banlu asked me where to eat, I actually hesitated. Gu Feng's home, so will it be Yu Qingyan's home? Or does he live in his junior's house?

"Okay, then Banlu confirms your itinerary one last time, the morning is to attend the equity hearing of the banking committee, and the afternoon is to listen to the acquisition plan of ZX Group, Your Highness only has this ......"

"Enough, get out!" I couldn't stand his chatter any longer, and finally I yelled.
