Quick Transmigration: Hehe, the gluttonous girl is here!

The atmosphere in the living room was a bit eerie.

Xu Qingyu went to the kitchen, brewed four cups of tea, and brought them over.

The porcelain cup made a crisp clinking sound as it hit the glass coffee table.

Jiang Li stared blankly at his trembling fingers.

[Tongzi, why is Xu Qingyu shaking like this?]

[Honey, he's probably feeling incredibly guilty because of your comment about repaying evil with kindness.]

Zhou Yanchuan sat on a single sofa.

His expression was complicated, and his gaze remained fixed on the sofa opposite him.

His nominal wife and his brother were sitting there.

Jiang Li was completely encircled in Zhou Chiye's arms.

Zhou Chiye leaned back on the sofa, one hand on Jiang Li's shoulder.

His large, well-defined hands gently kneaded her soft, delicate shoulders and neck.

This is a relaxed yet possessive posture.

"Brother, now that we've talked it out..."

Zhou Chiye finally spoke.

He tilted his head slightly, his tone sounding like he was negotiating, but his eyes showed no room for compromise.

"You can come up with a plan for what to do next."

Zhou Chiye's fingers slid down Jiang Li's nape and pinched her lower back.

He felt the girl's body go limp, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Yanchuan felt a splitting headache as he watched his younger brother's oblivious displays of affection.

He picked up the teacup in front of him and took a big gulp.

The bitter tea rolled down my throat, barely suppressing the irritation in my heart.

"I need time."

Zhou Yanchuan looked at Zhou Chiye, his tone filled with weariness and resignation.

"The company just went public today and is currently in the eye of the storm."

"If a scandal involving family troubles were to break out at this time, the stock price would definitely plummet."

He paused, as if organizing his thoughts.

"Xiao Li no longer needs to pretend to be my wife in front of outsiders."

"At home, you are free."

"But I hope this matter can be kept secret for now. Once the company's situation stabilizes, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chiye let out a very soft, cold sneer.

The beauty mark at the corner of his eye slanted slightly upwards, carrying an undisguised mockery.

"Brother, you've got a really good plan."

"Even at this point, you still want to use her as a shield?"

Zhou Chiye sat up straight, releasing the oppressive atmosphere that had been hanging over him.

Zhou Yanchuan's expression tightened: "That's not what I meant."

"So what do you mean?"

Zhou Chiye tilted his head to look at him, the beauty mark at the corner of his eye making him exude an indescribable coldness.

"You won't let go after you've finished using it, you have to wait until you're done before you'll let go?"

Zhou Yanchuan's face turned extremely ugly.

He knew he was in the wrong, but he really couldn't afford to lose now.

"Zhou Chiye! Don't push me!"

It looked like the two brothers were about to start arguing again.

Jiang Li knew it was time for her to go on stage.

She stretched out her slender white fingers and pressed them against the back of Zhou Chiye's hand that was resting on her shoulder.

Zhou Chiye looked down at her.

The boy, who had been full of hostility, visibly loosened his shoulder line by half an inch after she pressed him down.

He took her small hand in his own and played with it in his palm.

Jiang Li gently patted him, signaling him to be quiet.

Then she raised her head and looked at Zhou Yanchuan across from her.

"Brother Yanchuan."

Her voice was calm, without the nasal tone she had when she cried before, and without any feigned weakness.

"I can give you time."

Zhou Yanchuan's eyes lit up.

"It can also be used to help you transition."

Zhou Yanchuan's expression softened slightly, his eyes filled with ecstatic joy.

Xu Qingyu also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Li gratefully.

Zhou Chiye's brows furrowed immediately, his dark eyes fixed on her.

Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Li gently pinched his waist.

"But not indefinitely."

Jiang Li changed the subject.

"One month, at most one month."

A month from now, no matter how well you've resolved things, I will move out.

Zhou Yanchuan frowned:

"Move out? What if your parents ask if you live alone..."

Jiang Li smiled faintly.

"Brother Yanchuan, you should be better at making up excuses than I am."

These weren't harsh words, but Zhou Yanchuan felt as if he'd been slapped in the face.

His face turned bright red, his lips pressed into a thin line, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Xu Qingyu gently touched his arm from behind.

"Yan Chuan, say yes."

Xu Qingyu's voice was very low.

Zhou Yanchuan closed his eyes briefly.

"it is good."

His voice was dry.

"I'm fine with moving out, I'll provide the house..."

"That's none of your concern, brother."

Zhou Chiye's voice broke in, carrying a lazy confidence.

"I'll arrange where she stays."

Zhou Yanchuan felt a throbbing in his temples as he looked at his younger brother's matter-of-fact expression.

"Zhou Chiye, you're only nineteen. How are you going to support her? You haven't even gone to college yet..."

"Give me the money."

Zhou Chiye's bluntness is speechless.

"I have over two million now."

Zhou Yanchuan was stunned.

More than two million?

He remembered that he had given Zhou Chiye a maximum of 200,000 yuan before. When did it become more than 2 million yuan?

Zhou Chiye did not offer an explanation.

"And there's also the 15% equity you gave me, enough for me to buy whatever I want."

Besides, brother, I'm not you.

I won't make her feel insecure.

That's so hurtful.

Zhou Yanchuan's face flushed red and then turned pale.

Jiang Li silently gave Zhou Chiye a thumbs up in her heart.

[Honey! Your little wolfhound has a really sharp tongue! It's like a knife stabbing right into my heart!]

He's standing up for me.

[It's okay to vent your anger, but don't laugh! Your persona right now is that of a pitiful ex-wife who's just been heartbroken! Hold it in!]

Jiang Li quickly pursed her lips and maintained her expressionless face.

Zhou Yanchuan took a deep breath, clearly trying his best to control his emotions.

"Okay, one month."

His voice was terribly hoarse.

"Move out in a month, and I'll explain it to the outside world."

He looked at Jiang Li, his eyes filled with exhaustion and guilt.

"Little Pear, during this time... if you need anything, just say so."

Money, a house—anything I can give.

"Need not."

Jiang Li shook her head.

"I told you, consider this repaying a debt of gratitude; you don't owe me anything anymore."

She said it so calmly.

So calm was Zhou Yanchuan's heart that it felt as if something had dulled and crushed it.

I don't owe you anything.

It means that from today onwards, they are completely cut off from each other and have no further connection.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chiye slid his hand down two inches from Jiang Li's shoulder and wrapped it around her waist.

The force wasn't strong, but he almost pulled her halfway into his arms.

He didn't say anything, but just lowered his head and rubbed the top of her head.

Like a wolf cub that has finally brought its prey back to its territory.

Zhou Yanchuan looked away.

Xu Qingyu stood up, walked to Zhou Yanchuan's side, and said softly:

"Yanchuan, let's go."

Zhou Yanchuan remained silent for a few seconds, then stood up.

He took two steps, then stopped.

He had his back to them, and his voice was muffled.

"Zhou Chiye".

"Um?"

"If you dare to make her suffer any injustice."

Zhou Yanchuan didn't turn around.

"I'll be the first to not let you off the hook."

"Brother, you're really something."

Zhou Chiye raised an eyebrow and sneered.

"But don't worry."

He glanced down at Jiang Li in his arms, his eyes darkening.

"I can't do anything to make her feel wronged."
