Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess 209 Ye Xinya 40

Just in case the plot would still have something store against Ye Xinya, Jiang Li brought her back abroad and even settled there.

The wedding had been arranged and planned by a professional hired by Facebrink's CEO. Although the relations.h.i.+p between them and the leads were no longer as strained, they didn't invite them to their wedding. It was Jiang Li who denied the thought without even thinking twice. Ye Xinya naturally had no problem with that. In her opinion, the visitors didn't matter as much as the those who would be married themselves.

How did Han Su and Ren Lian received the news of not getting invited?

Ren Lian: They must probably be angry because they thought they are ahead of us.

Han Su: I think so too. But what's the matter with losing in that aspect?

Ren Lian: Hide your smug smile first before asking that question again.

If Jiang Li learned of these two's a.s.sumptions, he would definitely scoff and say, "Thinking too much is really a disease, you two. Tch. Who would want to a.s.sociate to people always attracting troubles? What if they go to the wedding and then trigger anothe plot again?"

Well, the wedding happened. Life goes on. And time pa.s.sed by.

...

James Zuckerberg was not truly warm to Jiang Li but since the man did give him his last name and even called him his son despite having no blood relation with him, Jiang Li reciprocated the goodwill by declaring that his Jiang Corporation who had later grown as big as Facebrick would forever be allied with the Zuckerberg.

For him, this might not be much, but the remnant truly appreciated James since he was the first father figure who at least showed some care to him. That rascal from the Jing family and Long Cheng were not decent people so despite James Zuckerberg being indifferent and as expected from a self-made billionaire, a calculating utilitarian, the remnant had treated him as his true father and wanted to do something for him. Jiang Li, the borrower of the body had to do his bidding since he had to live a live honest the Original's feelings and beliefs.

This led to him creating a will that upon his death, half of everything he had founded and earned would remain the properties of the Jiangs, while half would go to James' family.

The world did not get why he had to make a declaration and will for an obvious matter, but the father nodded in praise but his att.i.tude towards Jiang Li did not change. Anyway, the latter seemed not that hungry for attention and fatherly love. He was plenty enough from his wife and children.

'I have to leave again...' When he had become an old man in that world, Jiang Li sighed and looked at the bright sky that could be seen from the open verandah of his chateau. Seated on his rocking chair, he laughed. His aged wife thought he was happy due to the kids who were playing and rolling on the gra.s.s by the lawn so her gaze softened.

"Host's time in this world will be up at 21:00 today." The mechanical voice of the muted system rang in his ears, delivering a news that without him knowing, he had started to dread.

However, Jiang Li acted as if he didn't hear it, continuing to watch the scenery around him.

Nighttime fastly approached. Jiang Li went to bed earlier than usual and chatted with Ye Xinya there. They talked about their days in the school, the weird tutorial sessions she had with him and their time abroad. After she talked about their kids and how they alternated with fetching them from kindergarten and elementary, she lowered her eyes, hardly suppressing the tears from the wrinkled corners.

Sitting on the edge of their bed, she looked at the old man who always listening to her endless chattering. The rocking chair was now motionless and the person seated on it had now closed his eyes, breathing completely undiscernable.

Ye Xinya stood up laboriously, movements as slow as a turle due to old age catching up with her. Step by step she walked towards him and when she finally arrived in front of his seemingly sleeping figure, she forced a smile on her aged face. Her expression looked tragic. How could it not be tragic when at the same time she was crying so badly.

 "You're still as crafty as ever, and now you're leaving before me, Jiang Li." There was a hint of sorrow and sulking in her tone because she felt like her husband had just wronged her.

However, when she hugged his still warm body so tightly, it showed how afraid she was afraid that even the sh.e.l.l that he left would vanish in the air. "Old man, you dared left earlier than me and I bet you're now feeling scared there. But don't worry. You won't be lonely in the after life. I will be coming soon to you. I love you."

...

The departure this time was surprisingly not as painful as when he left Jiang Ying Yue's world. But because he was now very sure that at least in his future journey, someone out there would be accompanying him, the faint ache in his heart was more bearable. He knew it wouldn't linger for long since in the next world, once he found her again, the days would be better. 

"Host will be transferred to the first official world now..."

When Jiang Li clicked the option to leave the previous world, the system's mechanical voice echoed in his brain, seemingly like a broken record since it had repeated the same words more than a dozen times.

Alongside that came the usual darkness which always accompanied his transfer to the next destination. After that was silence.

'Am I in the next world already?'

When close to ten minutes already pa.s.sed, impatience blossomed in his heart, hence the question. In his opinion, so much time already pa.s.sed.
