Quick Transmigration The Prodigal Son - Chapter 1

The Eldest Young Master’s Gentle Wife (1)

On the disco-lit and foggy dance floor, men and women in formal attire and short skirts moved and gyrated their bodies.

The bar was covered with fog, the music was deafening, and people were dancing madly everywhere.

In one corner, a man with gold-rimmed glasses sat on a leather sofa, his lean bony fingers playing with a glass of wine.

From time to time, someone came forward to talk, but they were all politely rejected by him.

He was like a beautiful but unreachable flower, completely inconsistent with the indulgent and unrestrained environment. Nonetheless, many still tried to approach him despite knowing that their efforts were futile.

His friends next to him watched on jealously, “Jiang Zhe, you can really attract people.”

“Of course. In the entire group, our Jiang Zhe is the most famous bachelor – handsome, elegant, impeccable character and successful. In the whole group, who has ever said a bad word about him?” A man in a suit smiled and gave a thumbs up.

“Yeah, our Big Beauty Jiang has charmed all the women in the group. He really doesn’t give us any space to play.”

“Yes, that’s right. You know our design department’s Lin Biao? Her body, appearance, personality and work ethics are all first class. But more importantly, she is also deeply in love with our Big Beauty Jiang. I heard that Lin Biao liked A’Zhe since junior high school, and has chased him till today without even regretting once. I say, A’Zhe, with such an infatuated beauty who loves you, you should just accept her.”

“Yeah. I see Lin Biao fawning over you every day. Us single dogs’ dog food has become more and more flavourful.”

The man who was silent throughout heard the words, looked up and just smiled.

“I’ve talked so much, but you haven’t said a word. Beauty Jiang, you are too reserved. I’ll have you know that this is a bar. At this rate, people looking at us might even think we are in some kind of serious meeting.”

His group of friends raised their voices, chanting for him to drink as punishment. Jiang Zhe couldn’t pass on it, and he raised his glass. Coincidentally, his phone vibrated and he put down his glass, saying, “Sorry, I have to take a call.”

“Which big beauty is calling this time!”

“Go, go.”

Jiang Zhe smiled apologetically and left his seat. He found a quiet corner and pressed the answer button, “Hello, I am Jiang Zhe. May I ask who am I speaking to?”

“We are from XX hospital. Your girlfriend, Ms. Lin Wei, was in a car accident and has been sent to the emergency room. I hope that you can come as soon as possible. Hello… Mr. Jiang, are you listening? Hello? Hello? ……… Dududu…”

Jiang Zhe’s blood ran cold. He didn’t even know how he arrived at the hospital. When he followed the nurse’s instructions, ran to the ER, and saw the bright red glare of the operating light, it finally hit him and everything went black before his eyes.

Before he fainted, he heard a mechanical voice asking him, “Do you want to save your girlfriend?”

Jiang Zhe replied without hesitation, “Yes.”

“Then bind with me.”

…… ………

Pushing the memory back, Jiang Zhe sat at a table. His fingers were clasped together, elbows on the table, chin resting on his hands, eyes dulled, his whole being looking extremely sluggish.

Shui Gen stood for a long time, secretly observing their family’s Eldest Young Master, and found that the Eldest Young Master has not moved since he sat down, resembling a statue.

Shui Gen became anxious, whispering, “Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Master?”

Jiang Zhe came back to his senses, turned to look at him, and asked indifferently, “What is it?”

Shui Gen scratched his head, not knowing how to respond. Finally, under the Eldest Young Master’s hard probing gaze, he closed his eyes and hardened his heart to say, “Eldest Young Master, Lady Qiu Yue will be performing at tonight’s Bai Hua Men. This servant has already gotten the tickets.” So don’t be in a daze anymore.

Jiang Zhe was shaken. He forgot that the original soul had already gotten tired of his dull wife, and was looking towards the outside world of beauties.

Qiu Yue was the first beauty he encountered. She had thorns and was difficult to capture. The original owner spent a month’s time, but only managed to say a few words with her.

He was such a failure.

Jiang Zhe retracted his hand, got up and stretched. Shui Gen followed behind with a fawning face. “Eldest Young Master, are you going out now? This servant shall call a car.”

“No need.” Jiang Zhe raised his hand to stop him, and thought about it, “Take the ticket and sell it. I will rest at home tonight.”

Shui Gen: ???

Jiang Zhe frowned, “Still not going?”

“Yes, Eldest Young Master. This servant will go right away.” Shui Gen quickly ran out.

Jiang Zhe turned his sight away from the scurrying servant and walked over to the bookshelf. He took out a book, and sat back at the table, calmly reading the book. The sunlight spilled in through the windows, and the golden glow softened his face.

At a corner outside the house, Cui Xi held a wooden tray and smiled. She whispered to her family’s Young Mistress, “Congratulations, Young Mistress.”

Li Cai Wei calmly asked, “What is there to congratulate about?”

Cui Xi, with an innocent face and a naïve aura, said chirpily, “The Eldest Young Master recently liked that beauty Qiu Yue. However, he asked Shui Gen to sell the tickets. This shows that Eldest Young Master’s heart has grown tired of playing outside, and that he will stay at home quietly to spend the rest of the days harmoniously with Young Mistress.”

Li Cai Wei peeked at the man reading the book in the house, murmuring to herself, “Is it?”

“Of course.” Cui Xi’s sharp hearing caught the soft murmur, and immediately answered.

Looking at the chicken soup in her hand, Cui Xi tentatively probed, “Young Mistress, let’s go in. Otherwise, the chicken soup will turn cold and unpalatable.”

Li Cai Wei: “You send it in.”

Cui Xi: “Ah?”

Cui Xi stared blankly at her Young Mistress who just walked away, her face full of confusion.

“What’s wrong with the Young Mistress? The Eldest Young Master has clearly stopped looking at other females already.”

Never mind, she won’t bother about it anymore. She’s only a maidservant, as long as she does her job well, things will be fine.

Cui Xi carried the chicken soup into the house. Jiang Zhe heard that it was sent by the Young Mistress, and drank it out of politeness.

Cui Xi left with a sweet feeling in her heart, and immediately returned to tell the news to Li Cai Wei.

“Initially, the Eldest Young Master didn’t want to drink it. However, when I said it was the Young Mistress who sent it, the Eldest Young Master drank it.”

Cui Xi described the situation energetically. At the end, she found that the Young Mistress’ mood wasn’t very good and hesitantly asked, “Young Mistress, are you not happy?”

Li Cai Wei adjusted her mouth, “No.”

“Oh.” Cui Xi was dubious, but she retreated at Li Cai Wei’s gesture.

Li Cai Wei stood in front of the window and looked in the distant direction of Jiang Zhe, laughing depressingly at herself.

What was she still waiting for? Even if there was no Qiu Yue this time, it was difficult to guarantee that he will not have a Ming Yue or Bao Yue in the future.
