Quick Transmigration The Prodigal Son Chapter 45

The Crazy Dog Who Became A Loyal Hound (1)   

“You're just the wife I bought with money. What qualifications do you have to manage me?” 

“Don't forget, who was the one who helped your family pay the debt your father owed the loan sharks.” 

“You eat my food, use my items, spend my money, what right do you have to educate me?” 

“Do you believe that I can kick you out of the house any time if you make me angry?” 

“……………” 

The end of the memory. Jiang Zhe opened his eyes, desperation and turmoil in his eyes. 

Jiang Zhe: “System.” 

System: “En?” 

Jiang Zhe: “You really aren't playing with me on purpose?” 

The system's little voice was especially pure, with a tinge of naive innocence: “No. Host, you're thinking too much ~~~” 

Jiang Zhe: Ok, he understood now. 

Being plotted against such a capable person, he was afraid he couldn't hold back very well. 

If the original soul of the previous world was secretly sc.u.mmy, then the original soul of the world was openly and publicly sc.u.mmy. 

The Jiang family could be said to know the Mo family long ago. At the start, they were both workers. Later on, they lost their stable job. 

Father Jiang made a desperate attempt to go to the sea to do business. He took advantage of the opportunities from the reform, riding the winds to wild success, becoming the richest man in Dragon City in one shot. 

Father Mo was more cautious, continuing his original footsteps. Later, he learnt that his former friend had become successful and his mind was disturbed. Using alcohol to deal with his frustrations, he met a group of shady friends and embarked on the road of gambling without looking back. 

It was reasonable to say that there was no connection between the two. However, while Father Jiang was successful, his son wasn't. He didn't have any capabilities, but had learned a lot of bad habits. They were also a family of new-found wealth. Any lady with a slight discerning eye, good character, knowledge and appearance would all look down on his son.

On the other hand, Father Mo was a rotten tree that bore good fruit. Father Mo himself was incompetent, Mother Mo was weak and helpless. However, their daughter, Mo Ling, was brave, strong and kind. 

It could be said that without Mo Ling, the Mo family would have collapsed long ago. 

Father Mo owed loan sharks, and the Mo family had borrowed from everyone they could borrow from. In the end, Mo Ling had no choice but to find Father Jiang, explain her reasons for coming, and write down an IOU. Although her att.i.tude was sincere and respectful, it was not one that belittled herself due to her circ.u.mstances. 

Father Jiang appreciated her very much. In addition, he had carried Mo Ling when she was young. The Jiang and Mo families could actually be said to know each other thoroughly. 

As for Father Mo's gambling addiction, in fact, it was not impossible to cure, but the Mo family couldn't bear to do it. Father Jiang might as well make more from it. 

Once he had that idea, Father Jiang could not sit still. He privately sent people to investigate Mo Ling, and the news that came back made him more satisfied. 

In the end, he asked people to pick up Mo Ling and put out his conditions, directly showing his hand. 

The Jiang family helped the Mo family repay the debt that Father Mo owed, and bought a house and one million cash as dowry. At the same time, as an additional condition, Father Jiang came out to help Father Mo completely quit his gambling addiction. It didn't matter how he did it as long as the results were good.

What Mo Ling had to do was to marry the original soul and bear children for the Jiang family. It would be better if they got along, if not, she had to stay in the Jiang family for at least ten years. 

This condition was not considered harsh, but it also wasn't anything good. 

Mo Ling struggled on her own and graduated from a prestigious university. It can be said that without Father Mo dragging her down, she would definitely have had a promising future. 

Instead, for the sake of the original soul's family's help, she married a rich playboy. 

In fact, the two still had a honeymoon period after marriage, but the original soul was used to playing around. Mo Ling was moved by him at that time, and naturally disagreed with him going out to drink and play. 

As the one with absolute authority between the two, the original soul was as arrogant as they could get, casually spouting out hurtful words. 

Then Jiang Zhe came. 

Jiang Zhe: ……………

There was never a pot of food that was so far from him before == 

It was now two years after they had gotten married. The young couple was only sweet in the first half year of their marriage. The days after were filled with small quarrels every three days and large arguments every five days. 

The original soul had a big temper, always winning the argument at the end. Consequently, whenever Mo Ling saw him now, she completely ignored him, neither hearing nor asking. 

However, the original soul once again did more wrong. He felt strange in his heart when Mo Ling ignored him, so he would provoke her. His att.i.tude was cold and hot, making Jiang Zhe not know what to do. 

The two still had no children yet, and Father and Mother Jiang were in a hurry, often urging Mo Ling. 

Mo Ling could only swallow her bitterness. The only comfort was probably that Father Mo finally quit gambling. Although his whole person exuded “dejection”, as long as he stayed at home obediently, the Mo family's mother and daughter were extremely grateful, praying to Buddha. 

Jiang Zhe looked at the empty room and turned on his handphone to check the day. It was Sunday, Mo Ling should be back in the Mo family's home. 

Sigh, don't know what to do in the days to come. 

The original soul had blocked all his roads. == 

Now, even if he treated Mo Ling well, Mo Ling would only be more wary of him.

Extremely heartbreaking. 

It would be better if Mo Ling wasn't the person he was looking for. If she was, the consequences would be simply unimaginable. 

He laid down on the sofa, his whole person the epitome of “depression”. 

Suddenly, there was a movement in the doorway. Jiang Zhe's eyelids moved, but he couldn't lift his spirits. 

Mo Ling put down the bag, walked in and saw the man on the sofa. 

The man's eyes were drooping, a shadow forming under his eyelashes, making people unable to see his eyes. 

Giving people a sense of melancholy. 

However, Mo Ling did not have any unusual expression. She was used to Jiang Zhe's periodic strange behaviours. 

The maid came over and asked her what she wanted to drink. She shook her head. Turning, she went upstairs. However, when she pa.s.sed by Jiang Zhe, she unexpectedly paused and unexpectedly opened her mouth, “Mom asked me about you today, if you have time” She thought about it, but still didn't say the remaining half of the sentence. 

After returning home today, her mother asked about their relations.h.i.+p. Mo Ling couldn't avoid it, only briefly telling her about it. Even so, she was still nagged by her mother, telling her to be warm and considerate, that the Jiang family was their great benefactor, not to be an ungrateful wolf etc. 

She couldn't be more annoyed and found an excuse to run out. 

Pa.s.sing by Jiang Zhe, she initially wanted to ignore him like she used to. It's just that her mother's words still rose to her mind. 

[Men all want face. You can't always oppose him, you just have to follow him.] 

Mo Ling snorted at that. Her mother was too deferent to her father, that's why their family ended up the mess it was today. 

Not knowing what happened to her today, once she took a second look at him, the words were already out of her mouth without going through her brain. 

Mo Ling pursed her lips, already antic.i.p.ating how Jiang Zhe would ridicule her. 

It would undoubtedly be about how she was reaching above her means, like a toad that wants to eat swam meat, daydreaming every day. After that, he would despise and badmouth her family.

She was used to it. 

However, this time, she waited for a long time, but didn't receive the cold ridicule she expected. 

She was surprised and looked down at him, their eyes meeting. She unexpectedly found that the man's eyes had a little, cough, complex emotions. 

This was really strange. 

Since Jiang Zhe didn't want to care about her, she also didn't have to rush headfirst into his abuse. Turning her head, she headed upstairs.

After she left, Jiang Zhe helplessly covered his face with his hand, his heart dying from sadness. 

Although he had guessed it earlier, but during the moment when it was confirmed, he still heard something breaking inside. 

That pair of eyes were too familiar. 

System, you're too vicious!!! 

Since his set personality was a rich playboy, he also didn't have to be proper. Taking off his shoes, he flopped over and slept on the sofa. 

He was quiet. 

But. 

Ten minutes later, Jiang Zhe gave up and got up, going to shower in the bathroom. His OCD or whatever, it was really frustrating. 

He took a quick shower, wore a bathrobe, and went to the room to sleep. 

Any troubles could wait till he was awake. 

At night, Mother Jiang knocked on the door. Jiang Zhe sleepily got up and changed into a set of fitting casual clothes. 

He followed the original soul's habit, rolling his sleeves up to the middle of his arms, and opening his collar slightly, revealing his wheat-coloured skin.

His eyes were deep and forceful, his nose was high, his lips were s.e.xy. Dressed in such an unrestrained manner, his body exuded an unbridled and arrogant air. 

Jiang Zhe: …………… 

Other people didn't find it strange, but Jiang Zhe himself actually found it quite uncomfortable. 

The Jiang family had no rules about talking while eating. At the dinner table, Father Jiang reprimanded his son as usual. "Ask you to find a proper job, but you don't listen. Every day, you only know how to eat drink and have fun. One day when I'm dead, what would you do?"

If it was the original soul, he would have probably have reb.u.t.ted with a single sentence: If there's wine today, then I'll get drunk today, let tomorrow's worries come tomorrow. 

Then Father Jiang would be extremely angry, flinging his hands to hit him, Mother Jiang would try to dissuade him from doing so and Jiang Zhe would dodge, another chaotic night. 

However, now that the core had changed, Jiang Zhe simply couldn't say such words, only lowering his head to ate and reduce his sense of existence.

TN: If anyone is wondering why it skipped to Chapter 45 and missed my previous announcement, it's because I'm unable to find free chapters for previous arc thus it was skipped altogether. The chapter count will continue as per the original novel. Thanks for understanding!
