Chapter 32: Goodbye, Scumbag

Chapter 32: Goodbye, Scumbag

Min Yizhou’s only flaw was that he came from a poor rural background.

However, he himself was quite ambitious and had relied on his own abilities to get into the neighboring 233X University.

Lei Yating had mentioned that his grades were excellent, that he received generous scholarships, represented the university in competitions, and worked part-time as a tutor in his spare time to earn money.

Rather than buy new clothes for himself, he had saved up money to buy Lei Yating a Christmas limited-edition lipstick set from a certain foreign brand, costing a full 1,700 yuan.

Lei Yating had only casually remarked that the colors looked beautiful, and he quietly bought it as a gift without saying a word.

Just a few days ago, she had been showing it off like a peacock.

And now, only a few days later, after accepting a lipstick gift set worth 1,700 yuan, she had broken up with him.

To Bai Xiaoxiao, it felt like Lei Yating had deliberately deceived someone’s sincere feelings and scammed him out of a lipstick purchase.

Oh, not just the lipstick. The Pandora bracelet on her wrist and the colored-gold necklace around her neck had also been bought by that idiot downstairs.

Pei Ye said, “Maybe she has her own reasons, such as the guy cheating on her or something.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in shock.

She denied it outright.

“How is that possible? Where would he even find the time for that?”

Her boyfriend squeezed every possible gap in his schedule to work part-time jobs. He was so busy every day, where would he find time to fool around with someone else? Didn’t Lei Yating know that?

If he really wanted to cheat, why would he confess to Lei Yating instead of pursuing a prettier girl?

Could it be that he had been blind when he confessed, and now his eyesight had been cured?

Pei Ye: “...”

While they were talking, the argument downstairs became increasingly heated, or more accurately, Lei Yating became increasingly heated on her own.

She grabbed the bouquet of roses and threw it at Min Yizhou’s feet. Her expression was agitated as she shouted curses. Min Yizhou, who had been anxiously trying to explain himself moments ago, suddenly turned cold.

“What did she say?”

Pei Ye helped relay it.

“She said Min Yizhou’s mother is a sharp-tongued old woman who brings misfortune to her husband, that she’s illiterate, filthy, and disgusting...”

“That’s way too much, isn’t it?”

Bai Xiaoxiao and the others were stunned.

Breaking up was one thing, but personally attacking someone’s mother?

Downstairs, Min Yizhou’s face was cold.

“Yating, my mother didn’t have an easy time raising me.”

“My parents didn’t have an easy time raising me either!”

Lei Yating trembled with rage. What filled her mind were the scenes from her previous life after she had been hacked to death, when the house her parents had bought for her was occupied by that disgusting mother and son.

The scumbag had been born from his mother, but had she sprung out of a rock?

Min Yizhou clenched his fists.

“I know! I know they all had a hard time. But I’ve never insulted your parents, nor shown them any disrespect. I’ve never demanded that you be especially filial to my mother either. What gives you the right to humiliate her like this?”

Lei Yating seemed determined to vent all the resentment and grievances from her previous life.

“Because your whole family is trash! A bunch of parasites! A bunch of garbage!”

Pei Ye had thought Min Yizhou would become so angry that he would hit someone, but unexpectedly, he still restrained himself.

“Then let’s break up! Pretend I never came today! From now on we’re strangers with no relationship whatsoever, so, I want you to take back every word you just said. Otherwise, Lei Yating, I don’t mind hitting women!”

Min Yizhou wasn’t completely without a temper. He would never hit his girlfriend or future wife, but if someone maliciously insulted his mother, he definitely would.

Men and women were the same.

If a man mouthed off, he would hit him. If a woman did it, the same applied!

Perhaps because Min Yizhou had still refrained from violence even after being pushed this far, and had shown considerable restraint, the surrounding spectators unexpectedly sided with him, making Lei Yating even angrier and more furious.

Those gossiping busybodies had no idea what kind of beast Min Yizhou would become in the future!

To avoid becoming even more of a laughingstock, she could only offer an apology in a stiff tone.

In the end, Lei Yating added one more sentence.

“As for everything you bought me, don’t worry about it. I’ll transfer every cent back to you. Otherwise, you might think I was after a poor pauper’s money.”

Min Yizhou pressed his lips together, his eyes brimming with anger.

“No need. Just consider me blind!”

Seeing that the male and female leads had both left, the others dispersed as well.

When Lei Yating saw Min Yizhou leave, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Breaking up was good. Without Min Yizhou and his mother, she would never repeat the tragedy of her previous life.

No matter how well Min Yizhou had behaved before, it was all just an act put on by a phoenix man in order to obtain an urban household registration and a house. She would never be fooled again.

After such a commotion, Lei Yating became something of a celebrity.

When she returned to the dormitory, Bai Xiaoxiao asked her with a smile.

“Yating, did you really break up with Min Yizhou?”

Lei Yating looked at her through half-lidded eyes.

“We broke up!”

Why keep garbage around? Save it for New Year’s ancestor worship?

Bai Xiaoxiao said, “Since you’ve broken up, that means he’s single now. You won’t mind if I pursue him, right?”

Lei Yating was indifferent.

“If you want to dig a man out of the trash can, why would I mind?”

Bai Xiaoxiao curled her lips.

“Fine. Just don’t regret it and go crawling back to him.”

Lei Yating sneered.

Regret?

Heh heh, she actually hoped Bai Xiaoxiao would slam into that wall. Let her get together with Min Yizhou so they could ruin each other’s lives and benefit society.

When Bai Xiaoxiao got cheated, beaten, and killed, then she would know how stupid she had been.

Watching Bai Xiaoxiao put on makeup and dress herself up beautifully, Lei Yating sneered repeatedly in her heart.

She really looked like a bitch in heat!

“I’m going to comfort that handsome little guy who’s heartbroken from a failed romance. Wish me victory.”

With a cigarette between her lips, Pei Ye asked, “If she goes over there like that, won’t she get beaten up?”

No matter how bad Bai Xiaoxiao’s relationship with Lei Yating was, they were still roommates.

If Min Yizhou ended up hating her by association, then Bai Xiaoxiao boldly running over to pursue him had a ninety-nine point nine percent chance of getting the door slammed in her face.

In reality, Bai Xiaoxiao wasn’t stupid either. She wasn’t really planning to pursue Min Yizhou. She had only said that to disgust Lei Yating.

Lei Yating saw through her childish little trick and didn’t react at all.

Time flew by, and Friday after classes arrived.

No supernatural incidents had occurred over the past few days, and Dormitory 4021 returned to its usual peace.

Afraid that her enormous appetite would frighten people, Pei Ye had eaten outside all week.

The owner of the Shaxian snack shop saw her every day and always greeted her cheerfully.

Naturally, money flowed out like water as well.

“Looks like I need to find a way to make some money. Who knows when I’ll finish piggybacking on those main storyline missions.”

Looking at her steadily shrinking savings, Pei Ye worried about money for the first time in her life.

Those main storyline missions were all stepping stones for Lei Yating to level up, increase her prestige, and enter the world of Celestial Masters.

Aside from the ridiculous mission names, she didn’t know the details, and naturally couldn’t skip over Lei Yating’s role in them.

If the information had been more detailed, for example if Pei Ye had been able to read all of Peerless Good-for-Nothing Little Celestial Master Has a Red Packet Group, she wouldn’t need to wait for Lei Yating to slowly level up before triggering the plot.

Unfortunately, the dungeon system of Love and Raising a Child was far too terrible and unreliable. She had only received a summary of the plot, and the content involving the main storyline missions was especially sparse.

Unable to determine how long it would take to complete the main storyline missions, Pei Ye could only first find a way to earn money and support herself.

After thinking things over, she ultimately contacted Zhu Chun’an.

“How do you people usually take jobs?”

The state promoted the elimination of feudal superstition, and fewer and fewer ordinary people believed in ghosts.

Under such circumstances, how did Celestial Masters make a living while slaying demons and exorcising evil?

Zhu Chun’an had been somewhat busy lately, and his replies had become noticeably slower.

“Celestial Masters who join the Special Investigation Department take orders from the Celestial Masters Alliance. The Alliance assigns missions according to circumstances.”

“What about Celestial Masters who haven’t joined the Special Investigation Department?”

Zhu Chun’an sent her an app installation package. Its name was rather distinctive as well, Break Through the Dimensional Wall.
