To Defeat Scum, You Must Start Early, My Lady Chapter 88 – What Does It Mean to Scold the Trash and Torment the Dog?!

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: What Does It Mean to Scold the Trash and Torment the Dog?!

Song Zhizhi headed downstairs to find Ji Baijian.

From a distance, Yin Qin saw Song Zhizhi approaching through the back garden and muttered, “Your fiancé is here. I’ll get out of your way, so I don’t third-wheel.”

“Take Tank with you.”

“Why?” Yin Qin bristled with indignation.

At that moment, he looked like a ruffled rooster.

“I’ve explained already — don’t want to be a third -wheel.” Ji Baijian stood up.

Yin Qin, visibly annoyed, grabbed hold of Tank.

Whose idea was it to get a dog anyway? Whose?

He must have had his head caught in a door, always talking about buying a dog, buying a dog, buying a dog…

Yin Qin walked off in a huff, passing right by Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi was about to greet him, but then she saw Yin Qin leading Tank away, scowling as if someone had wronged him.

She gave up calling out to him, suspecting that Ji Baijian had probably caused some mischief with his ‘young wife’.

She stopped in front of Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian gave her a slight smile, “Awake now?”

“Mmm.” Song Zhizhi took his hand of her own accord.

Ji Baijian’s hands were big, capable of entirely engulfing her small ones.

“I’ll take you for a stroll.” Ji Baijian took the wheel for once.

“Okay.”

They walked through the expansive back garden of the Ji family’s mansion, past numerous plants, bonsai trees, outdoor sculptures, an outdoor swimming pool, an indoor flower shed, and a glass tea house. It was like a high-end club.

As Song Zhizhi walked alongside him, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Don’t you think your house is too big?”

“Yes, it is.” Ji Baijian affirmed, “Can’t help it though, we have too much money.” “That’s a blatant display of wealth!” Song Zhizhi couldn’t hide her amusement.

But she had to admit, the three richest consortiums in Jin City indeed had staggering wealth. Although the Ye Family held power over their fate, in terms of wealth, the consortiums indeed surpassed them. It was just like the oft-said saying – the nation’s coffers couldn’t match the assets of its citizens.

“We won’t live here after we get married?” Ji Baijian suddenly asked.

“Why?”

“Would you like to live here?”

She wouldn’t prefer that.

Firstly, adapting to a new family would prove difficult, especially considering the strict rules of the Ji family. Secondly, no matter how much private space she’d get, she would still feel watched. Gossipy whispers intimidated her a bit too. Thirdly, and most importantly, she wanted to cultivate her relationship with Ji Baijian in private after marriage. She felt the sweetness of their bond should just be shared between the two of them…there was no room for others.

“Will your father agree? As the eldest son?” Song Zhizhi asked. “My father is strict but not as conservative as you think.”

Alright then.

Seems like she was meddling too much.

“You didn’t answer me yet?” Ji Baijian furrowed his brows.

“I want to live alone with you.” Song Zhizhi declared, one word at a time.

Ji Baijian smiled, “Alright.”

That simple word seemed to be filled with an abundance of affection, causing ripples in her heart.

They walked to a pavilion and sat down on a swaying chair, one each.

“Ji Baijian, did you get the dog for me?” Song Zhizhi asked.

Ji Baijian just smiled without saying a word.

“Because I once lost one, so you decided to help me raise a new one?” Song Zhizhi continued.

Ji Baijian maintained his amiable silence.

“But…” Song Zhizhi turned to look at the seemingly lazy Ji Baijian, “my dog was much smaller than this one. It was a very, very little dog.”

“I know.”

Yet you still bought such a big one.

“But haven’t you grown up now?” Ji Baijian retorted.

Song Zhizhi was left speechless.

So, that’s how this man thinks.

Song Zhizhi pouted.

She heard Ji Baijian’s pleasant voice say lightly, “I will return all that you have lost, but with interest.’ Hmm.

Song Zhizhi looked at Ji Baijian.

Did he mean… he intends to treat her even better to make up for all the pain she’s suffered?

Song Zhizhi bit her lip slightly.

Suddenly, she stood up from the rocking chair.

With half-closed eyes, Ji Baijian watched her movement.

Song Zhizhi moved closer to Ji Baijian.

Given the semi-reclined position of the rocking chair, Ji Baijian looked up at her, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, as he gazed at her adorably blushing cheeks.

Ji Baijian was silent for a few seconds. He didn’t respond.

He just felt Song Zhizhi hugging his arm very, very tightly… so tightly that his heart started to race.

Yin Qin couldn’t bear revolving his life around a dog.

He came to find Ji Baijian with Tank and ended up witnessing a rather eye-watering scene.

Damn it!

Wasn’t the deal about tormenting the unwanted suitor?

What on earth did dog torment mean!

Furious, Yin Qin dragged Tank away.

Tank seemed to lag behind, as if unwilling to leave.

Yin Qin pulled at Tank, “What are you gawking at? As a single dog yourself, don’t you find this embarrassing?!”

Tank looked confused at Yin Qin’s outburst.

Nevertheless, he followed Yin Qin as they moved a little further away. Meanwhile, the embrace between Song Zhizhi and Ji Baijian finally came to an end.

Song Zhizhi’s cheeks were even redder.

They nestled for a long while.

Only then, Ji Baijian lifted Song Zhizhi.

But, just how strong were his arms?

Even while seated, he could lift her up.

Wholly surprised, Song Zhizhi found Ji Baijian standing up from the chair with her.

“I’ll take you home,” Ji Baijian said.

“Don’t we have dinner?

“No need.”

“Oh.” Anyway, she felt too pressured dining here.

Still holding her hand, Ji Baijian led her through the back garden, away from the Ji family mansion.

Meanwhile, at a window upstairs.

Zhang Qingmei sipped her beauty tea leisurely on the balcony, while Ji Baili leaned against the edge of the balcony.

“Who would have thought Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi get along so well?” Zhang Qingmei mused.

The corners of Ji Baili’s mouth seemed to lift ever so slightly, “Who knows?!

And by the way, some old monster.”

The ‘old monster’ was naturally, Ji Baijian..
