It's good that the three of them live together, so they'll have company. Ye Jin thinks this kind of life—rich, leisurely, and without a man—is pretty good.
If it weren't for Xie Haoyu threatening her with a knife, Ye Jin felt that her current life was exactly the retirement life she had always dreamed of.
Today, as usual, she took the nanny's car back to the Su Family's old house in the suburbs. However, as soon as she entered the house, she noticed that the atmosphere inside was somewhat different.
She looked around and saw a somewhat dark-skinned and disheveled man sitting on the sofa, wearing faded clothes that had been washed a lot. Upon closer inspection, she realized that this was none other than her cheap husband!
He finally escaped and came back! Life has been so good lately that she almost forgot she had a husband who was kidnapped and on the run overseas!
Although she and Su Chengjing didn't have a deep relationship, his safe return was still a good thing.
Ye Jin was about to smile and welcome him when she suddenly froze.
[Wait! According to the original story, my cheap husband met his soulmate on his way back from escaping. Should I divorce him and give way to him?!]
Sitting on the other side of the sofa, Lin Xiwen changed upon hearing Ye Jin's thoughts. Her mind raced as she frantically recalled Su Chengjing's appearance when he returned. He shouldn't have had any women with him, but it was also possible that he had placed them somewhere else.
However, these matters can only be investigated later; the most important thing now is to appease my daughter-in-law.
She quickly stood up and said, " Xiao Jin, look, you and Chengjing are really destined for each other. He just got back and you're already home. I haven't even had a chance to tell you yet."
Ye Jin put on a sweet smile, but inwardly she was complaining.
[Heh, I wouldn't dare hope for that. If I were to get in the way of Su Chengjing's true love, I wouldn't have a good ending.]
Lin Xiwen sighed inwardly. It seemed that unless she could prove that her son didn't have another woman, Ye Jin wouldn't believe her.
But it would be difficult to produce evidence in a short time, so she turned to look at her son, who was still standing there, motionless.
" Xiao Jin, you have no idea how much effort this silly boy went through to escape the island, hiding his identity and avoiding kidnappers. He hid so thoroughly that he even fooled the people I sent to find him. He didn't have legal status, and it took him a lot of trouble to escape to a neighboring country on a smuggling ship. It took him two or three months to finally contact the Su Group's branch there and finally return home."
"I really don't know whether to call him lucky or unlucky, but at least he returned safely."
Then she shouted at Su Chengjing, "Your wife is back, why are you standing there? If it weren't for Xiao Jin supporting me these past few days, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to make it. If you dare to do anything to betray her, don't blame me for being impolite."
The man who was called did not get up, but looked at Ye Jin with a very complicated and inquisitive gaze.
However, that look only lasted for a moment, and soon it became clear and bright, belonging to Su Chengjing.
The man still looked travel-worn, but a bright smile appeared on his face. "You've really had a hard time while I was away, my wife."
Being called "wife" again after half a year felt very strange to Ye Jin.
[Ugh, why is he suddenly being so cheesy! I'm not used to it! I don't remember him being like this before! And his eyes always seem weird, could it be that he's already thinking about how to dump me?]
However, she still retained the memory of how she dealt with Su Chengjing before, and subconsciously revealed a gentle smile, "This is what I should do, after all, this is also my home."
Although she knew Ye Jin was feeling awkward, Lin Xiwen was still quite satisfied seeing the two getting along harmoniously. "That's wonderful, now our family is reunited. From now on, as long as we work together, there's no obstacle we can't overcome."
[With Su Chengjing back, the Su Group can naturally resolve most of the crisis with his abilities. It's just a pity that we might not even be family anymore.]
[I don't care about divorcing that jerk, but I'm really going to miss my wonderful mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Sigh, I'd only just started getting along with them.]
Although Ye Jin inwardly complained, she outwardly appeared moved and echoed, "Yes, Mom, Chengjing's safe return naturally means that our Su Family's fortunes will turn around, and everything will go smoothly from now on."
Su Chengjing nodded and said, "Mom, you can rest assured now that I'm here. I've already found out who's targeting the Su Group and who kidnapped me, and I will definitely not let them get away with it."
Chapter 34
However, Lin Xiwen interrupted him as soon as he said this.
"Son, don't put so much pressure on yourself. The Su Group is doing very well now, and we've already found the mastermind behind it all. We've already laid out a plan to deal with him, and he won't be able to cause any trouble. As for you, you've suffered a lot since you escaped back here. Just rest well first, and then you can slowly take over the work."
"Besides, Xiao Jin is a great help in stabilizing the current situation for me. If you dare to betray her, I won't let you off the hook!"
Su Chengjing was somewhat stunned. They had already stabilized the situation and found the mastermind behind it all?
As soon as he entered the Su residence, he found the atmosphere to be very different from what he had expected; it was far too calm!
Even if they deliberately created this to stabilize the market, the calm on the servants' faces was completely genuine, a stark contrast to how he looked when he returned from his previous life.
Yes, Su Chengjing has been reborn.
He died unwillingly in his previous life, and perhaps Heaven noticed his resentment, so when he opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the past.
Unfortunately, he couldn't be reborn before he was kidnapped. When he regained consciousness, he found himself kidnapped and taken to an island in the Pacific Ocean.
However, he was not discouraged; he was already incredibly lucky to be reborn. Using his experience from his previous life, he successfully escaped the island where he had been kidnapped, and then went into hiding, waiting for an opportunity to return to his country.
