Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs - Chapter 206

Chapter 206: Even If It’s One Wife and Two Husbands, I Won’t Give Up

Ji Buwang raised his brows. “So that really happened.” The anxiousness in his body lessened again.

Shao Qiyang couldn’t help but clench his fist when he heard that. How could Second Brother do this? Jingzhe was such a wonderful person, yet he didn’t cherish her and had even gotten involved with Mu Xue.

Mu Jingzhe looked at Ji Buwang and asked in a low voice, “Why are you here?”

“Why do you think? How could I not come?” Ji Buwang asked in turn.

Mu Jingzhe immediately felt a little guilty. After all, Ji Buwang had confessed his feelings to her before, so it was normal for him to come upon learning that Shao Qihai had returned. But… wasn’t it a tad inappropriate for him to come like this?

“Let’s go home first. I’ve told you before that I know Shao Qihai too. He’s not dead and he has returned now. I should go see him.”

Shao Qiyang gritted his teeth tightly. Wasn’t it a provocation for him to visit at such a time?

Before he could speak, Ji Buwang had already taken the lead and walked forward. Shao Qiyang wanted to say something but stopped himself and followed him. He didn’t know that the four of them were already giving other people a show.

In particular, Ji Buwang’s arrival had made the eyes of the people of Great Eastern Village sparkle with excitement. They had thought that since Shao Qihai had returned, Ji Buwang wouldn’t come anymore. They hadn’t expected him to still come. Was he going to publicly compete with Shao Qihai for Jingzhe?

“That’s not so good, no? After all, that’s Qihai’s wife, right?”

“Go and see what Shao Qihai did first. I saw Mu Xue go to the Shao Residence. She went in, and Jingzhe came out to hide from them.”

Great Eastern Village was having a jolly good time gossiping about this matter. Usually, they wouldn’t reveal it when they were in public, but privately, they knew everything. They only wished they could go back with Mu Jingzhe and the others to watch the show.

Mu Jingzhe returned to the Shao Residence with Ji Buwang and Shao Qiyang. She first confirmed from the entrance whether Mu Xue had left. When she stuck her head in, she saw Shao Qihai.

Shao Qihai frowned when he saw her do that. “Why didn’t you come in since you got home?”

Mu Jingzhe stood up and walked in. “Where’s Mu Xue? Is she gone?”

“Mm.” Shao Qihai was about to say something when he saw Ji Buwang and Shao Qiyang behind Mu Jingzhe.

When he saw that Ji Buwang had actually swaggered in, Shao Qihai’s pupils constricted. “Ji Buwang?”

“Shao Qihai, long time no see.” Ji Buwang waved his hand with a beam.

“Long time no see.” Shao Qihai gritted his teeth. Why was this person so eager to steal his woman? He was still alive, couldn’t he see that? Upon seeing Ji Buwang’s beaming face, Shao Qihai was furious. Why was this person so thick-skinned? Why didn’t he look sheepish at all?

Unable to help himself, Shao Qihai commented sarcastically, “You came here very quickly. You sure act fast, huh.”

“I can’t compare to you. It’s only the second day, and you’re already meeting your old flame in front of Jingzhe and pouring your hearts out to each other.”

Ji Buwang’s shocking words came out of his mouth as he smiled. This was also the reason he didn’t feel sheepish. He was open and aboveboard.

Shao Qihai’s expression changed. He then glanced in the direction of the workers. “Don’t talk nonsense!”

He shot Ji Buwang a warning look. “Come in so we can talk.” It seemed better to speak in private lest he startled others with his shocking words again.

The group of them entered the kitchen. Shao Qihai gave Ji Buwang a deep look. “Ji Buwang, there’s a limit to joking. I hope you won’t spout nonsense in the future.”

“I don’t have any ill intentions. I think it’s a good thing. I said it to bless you.” Ji Buwang was very innocent. “This is just right. You and Mu Xue can pick up your relationship where you left off, and Jingzhe and I can continue to be together.”

Mu Jingzhe was about to pour water for Ji Buwang and even nodded when she heard the first half of the sentence. However, when she heard the second half, her hand trembled and she almost dropped the cup.

When had they gotten together? Mu Jingzhe looked at Ji Buwang in shock and saw Ji Buwang wink at her.

“When did you two get together?”

“You two have gotten together?”

Shao Qihai and Shao Qiyang asked questions angrily in unison. Their tones were the same, and the shock and anger on their faces looked copied and pasted.

Ji Buwang looked at the two brothers with a teasing expression. Even Shao Qihai couldn’t help but glance at Shao Qiyang.

Shao Qiyang couldn’t care less about their gazes. His mind was filled with thoughts of when the two of them had gotten together.

Mu Jingzhe reacted, quickly looking at Ji Buwang. “Don’t spout nonsense…”

Ji Buwang felt aggrieved. “You just said two days ago that you were going to be responsible for me, have you forgotten? Jingzhe, you can’t be like this. You can’t abandon me after toying with me.”

Abandon him after toying with him? Was that how one used that phrase? Mu Jingzhe choked.

Ji Buwang didn’t give Mu Jingzhe a chance to speak. He lowered his head and coughed before looking at Shao Qihai and Shao Qiyang. “This is what happened. Jingzhe said that she would be responsible for me.”

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but shove Ji Buwang. “Don’t…” She had just held the wrong hand. Why did it sound so different coming from his mouth?

“Don’t be afraid, Jingzhe. We have to let them know sooner or later. We might as well tell them now. I can’t wait anyway.”

Ji Buwang shot Mu Jingzhe a gaze, telling her to calm down, and looked at Shao Qihai. “Shao Qihai, Jingzhe and I already have a relationship. I hope you can give us your blessing.

“I don’t think I’ve wronged you. After all, you were dead previously. Your marriage had already been abolished. I have the right to pursue her, and Jingzhe has the right to fall in love and get married.

“We didn’t do anything wrong, so I hope you won’t be angry. After all, I didn’t destroy your marriage. I didn’t become a third party either. We’re open and honest.”

Ji Buwang’s words made Shao Qihai’s mind explode. “No, based on what I’ve heard, the two of you aren’t together…”

“Then your news source might be delayed.” Ji Buwang interrupted Shao Qihai.

Shao Qihai gritted his teeth. “I can’t accept it. I’m still alive, so I’m her husband. Her legitimate husband.”

“No, you’re not. You’ve already died once. Your relationship with her has been annulled.”

“No, my situation is special. As long as I’m alive, our relationship is valid.” Shao Qihai and Ji Buwang quarreled.

Shao Qiyang was worried that they would start a fight upon seeing them oppose each other in such a tit-for-tat manner. Unexpectedly, a second later, Ji Buwang suddenly stood up and stood behind Mu Jingzhe. He tugged at her sleeve and spoke in an aggrieved tone.

“Jingzhe, no matter what, you have to be responsible for me. I won’t back down even if we are one wife and two husbands.”

Mu Jingzhe: “…”

Had she transmigrated to a matriarchal world this time?

Shao Qiyang: “…”

Who was he? Where was he? What was he doing?

Shao Qihai: “…”

‘Dafuq? One wife and two husbands?’

The veins on Shao Qihai’s forehead popped twice as his fist cracked. “Don’t talk nonsense. One wife and two husbands? What kind of joke is this?” Was he trying to anger him to death?

“Who’s joking? I’m not. Anyway, I won’t give up. From now on, let’s just rely on our own abilities,” Ji Buwang retorted.

“There’s no such thing as relying on one’s own ability. No matter what, I’m still the proper wife… husband. Give up.” Shao Qihai had been forced to say things like ‘I am the proper husband’. God knew why he had to say such things.

“Proper husband? So what? Although I appeared after you, I’m also a legitimate husband.”
