My nemesis has finally gone bankrupt

Chapter 3 - How Much For A Year?

After resting at home for a day, Ji Ran's body recovered.

He possessed a physique better than most people and rarely fell sick. A small injury like this only needed some sleep to make it feel better didn't need to be mentioned.

It was just that, he didn't feel like moving at all. His legs were still numb and thus, he lazed at home for an entire day.

When Yue Wen Wen's call rang once more, he'd just finished blacklisting Qin Man.

Ever since Qin Man refunded the 20,000 yuan, they hadn't exchanged another word. The more he looked, the angrier he became. In the end, he didn't even accept the money and directly cut off their conversation.

He had only thought of blacklisting the other after refreshing his Wechat moments half a minute ago.

In reality, Qin Man also hadn't posted much and was the very opposite. He'd gone to check out Qin Man's Wechat moments and saw that this person didn't apply any special settings like 'only available for 3 days' or 'only available for half a year'. Especially in comparison with Yue Wen Wen's 'only available for 3 days' WeChat moments, there were far less posted. Out of five, four were of his family's dog; an American bully, extremely ugly and muscular.

Just like its owner!

The post he created this time wasn't about his dog but rather had a simple sentence.

"Looking for a job."

When Ji Ran read these words, his eyes nearly popped out. He repeatedly zoomed in on the avatar icon for confirmation before finally believing this truly was posted by Qin Man.

Qin Man actually knew how to use this sort of messaging app?

One of the reasons why Ji Ran hated him was because he was too proud and aloof, just like his step-brother.

Ji Ran is an illegitimate child. His mother was nothing more than a nameless star who had a one night stand with Father Ji and became pregnant with him.

Father Ji originally didn't have any intentions of recognising her position once he knew of this matter. The Ji family was much too complicated; his legitimate wife was from a marriage of convenience – a strong, independent woman. He didn't intend to have a fall out with his wife for some random bastard who appeared out of nowhere.

However, the old madame showed up in the end and from what he heard, she'd talked to lady Ji for an entire night. No one knew how many benefits they'd discussed, but Lady Ji finally relented, allowing Ji Ran and his mother to find a place to stay.

His mother was very different from other mistresses. They'd brainwash their children to fight against the legitimate son for their family properties from the moment they were born. However, his mother had instead reminded him time after time, to lower his head and live with his tail tucked between his legs. No matter what, he shouldn't covet what didn't belong to him, lest he dies without even knowing how he'd died. To live a life of mediocrity, earning a few grand every month was enough.

After more than ten years of constant reminders, Ji Ran was only thirteen when his mother passed away in a car crash.

Naturally, there was no way an illegitimate son could live with the legitimate family and so, he survived outside, all by himself for over ten years. There wasn't any need to mention the other Ji family members, Ji Ran rarely saw his father over these past few years.

But just because he was out of sight, it didn't mean he no longer existed.

Although his father couldn't be bothered, there was still the old madame who helped him enrol into a school.
