After the Divorce, I Unlocked a Perfect Life

’He was really pulling out all the stops to get back together.’

He drove toward Dao Yi Design to find Liang Shuhuo.

The office could be renovated too. He would have to talk to her about that.

’Once the office is renovated, I’ll do a "secretary series" photoshoot with Qiu Yunong.’

’Perfect.’

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ—

Lin Jiang’s phone buzzed. He glanced at it and saw a message from Li Yueting.

Li Yueting was Lin Jiang’s cousin, his uncle’s daughter. She was about to start her senior year of college and was preparing for the graduate school entrance exams.

Li Yueting: "Bro, studying for these exams is so hard. I don’t wanna live anymore. But if I had a cup of coffee, I think I could keep going a little longer."

Seeing the message was from her, Lin Jiang didn’t reply and just kept driving.

Not even a few minutes later, another message from Li Yueting arrived.

Li Yueting: "Heh, men. You’ve changed. You don’t even reply to my messages anymore."

Li Yueting: "Men are all the same. Find someone new and forget all about your old flame. I can’t go on."

Soon after, Li Yueting sent a video. It was filmed from a window, and her voice could be heard in it.

"Bro, the wind is so strong today. I’m so scared."

Li Yueting: "Not going to answer me, huh? I’m sending this video to your mom. I’ll tell her you drove me to my death."

Lin Jiang glanced up, saw the light ahead was red, and slowly brought the car to a stop.

Lin Jiang: "You should think this through. People in developed countries aren’t having kids anymore. If you reincarnate now, there’s a high probability you’ll end up over with Brother San, drinking water from the Ganges River from birth. So, want to reconsider?"

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ—

Li Yueting started a video call.

After answering the call, Lin Jiang set his phone aside.

No face appeared on the other end of the call, just a pair of feet.

"Man, this is what you get for not replying to my messages. You only deserve to see my feet."

"Woman, you don’t even get to see my feet."

"Huh? Where are you? Why is it all pitch black?"

"You aren’t worthy of seeing my face."

"Oh, come on, don’t be like that. I haven’t seen you in forever. Let me see what you look like now."

"What do you think I look like? Still got one nose and two eyes."

"Lin! I can’t believe you’re treating me like this! And after I even bought you a bottle of face wash from Japan! You don’t appreciate my kind gesture at all."

"Are you trying to make me mutate or something?"

"It was mainly because it was cheap. I can’t afford the expensive stuff. Now hurry up and let me see if you’ve gotten all haggard after your divorce."

"My heavenly good looks are not for the eyes of a mere mortal like you."

Just then, the video feed switched.

Li Yueting had a pleasant, oval-shaped face with well-defined features and fair skin. Her hair was tied back in a simple ponytail. Since she appeared to be in her dorm room, she wasn’t wearing any makeup; it looked as if she hadn’t even washed her face.

"I’ve shown my face, now it’s your turn."

Lin Jiang picked up his phone from the storage compartment, flipped it over, and aimed the camera at the car’s sunroof.

"I want to see you, not this thing!"

"You flipped your camera, and I flipped mine. We’re even. No one’s at a disadvantage."

"Lin! How can you be so..."

Halfway through her sentence, Li Yueting stopped short.

"That’s a sunroof, right? And that’s not your minivan."

"Am I not allowed to get a new car?"

"Well, sure you can, but knowing you, you wouldn’t buy a car unless you had a lot of money. Did you strike it rich recently?"

Li Yueting wouldn’t let it go. "Spill it, where’d you get the money?"

"Earned it as a male escort at a club."

"What?! You actually work at a place like that?! Your mom paid for your education for nothing! From now on, you’re no cousin of mine!"

"100,000 a month, starting."

"I’ve given it some thought... and blood is thicker than water. You can still call me your cousin."

"Bro, all honest work is noble. There’s no shame in earning money with your own two hands. Don’t feel bad about it. Your cousin will always support you."

"Bro? Why’d you go quiet?"

"Are you guys hiring? Do you think my dad could get a job there?"
