Scumbag Forcing Me to Divorce? Watch Me Turn Around and Marry a Powerful Capital Tycoon! - Chapter 73

No one could have imagined just how fired up Cheng Zijun was right now.

He had waited so long.

So, so long—just for today!

Now Cheng Group and his own name had both skyrocketed onto the trending searches.

Very soon—

Cheng Group’s stock price would surge!

He would rise from the ashes and become the number-one figure in Huaguo’s gaming industry!

Just thinking about it made Cheng Zijun’s face shine with unrestrained smugness.

Seeing that expression, Lin Yuze hurried to explain, “It’s not like that! Brother Zijun, you misunderstood! It’s Jiang Ning… Jiang Ning, Impulse Studio, and their new game Glorious Pinnacle that are trending!”

“Jiang Ning really did finish a triple-A game with Impulse!”

“And after Glorious Pinnacle launched last night, downloads have already passed one hundred million!”

More importantly—

Glorious Pinnacle didn’t even have half a negative review.

Impulse Studio had truly completed the first domestic 3A title.

Not just domestically.

Its quality was top-tier even in the international scene.

Lin Yuze continued, “Their game is not only blowing up in Huaguo, it’s gone viral overseas too. I heard that GD from abroad already sent representatives to negotiate licensing!”

GD!

The international titan of the gaming world.

And now—

Even GD was lowering itself to cross the ocean just to negotiate with them. That alone proved how outstanding Glorious Pinnacle was.

Once Impulse sold the overseas rights, the whole studio would ascend on the spot.

Even if Impulse stayed exactly the same afterward, no one in the next thirty years would surpass them.

“What?!”

Listening to Lin Yuze, Cheng Zijun felt like he must be dreaming.

Yes.

He had to be dreaming!

Jiang Ning!

That little country girl—how could she possibly complete a 3A game in a single month?

Impossible!

Completely impossible!

How could everything flip overnight?

Yesterday, the person under the spotlight had been him.

It was him!

It should always have been him!

“Fake! It must be fake! Lies! You’re lying!” Cheng Zijun roared, “What is Jiang Ning anyway?! She was nothing but my lapdog. How could she have the ability to make a 3A game?!”

“Brother Zijun, I know it’s a shock, but…” Lin Yuze sighed, “It’s true. Jiang Ning really did it.”

Only now—

Did Lin Yuze finally dare believe the rumors.

The reason Cheng Zijun had been the ‘once-in-a-decade dark horse’ was—at least eighty percent—thanks to Jiang Ning.

Otherwise—

Why would Cheng Group collapse the moment she left?

Why would the struggling Impulse Studio suddenly soar to the top?

Just like the name of their game—

Glorious Pinnacle.

The blood drained from Cheng Zijun’s face. His hand shook as he grabbed his phone from the desk.

He unlocked it—

A flood of news notifications popped up.

Every headline was about Impulse and Jiang Ning.

【The Mysterious Miss Jiang!】

【The Mother of 3A Games!】

【Impulse Studio Turns the Tables—Crushing the ‘Once-in-a-Decade Dark Horse’】

【Impulse Studio’s Secret Partner Revealed】

【Impulse Nearing Signing with GD】

Staring at the headlines, Cheng Zijun was utterly stupefied. Cold sweat poured down his forehead.

He was supposed to be the one in the news!

It should’ve been him!

Why did Jiang Ning get to step over him and soil his reputation?!

Impulse was now the center of national attention.

Then what about Cheng Group?!

He had poured all his money, his future, his everything into this game.

No.

Cheng Zijun couldn’t accept it.

He refused to accept losing so pathetically!

Right—

There was still Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning loved him. She would definitely help him.

Since she helped Impulse rise—

He switched to his WeChat page.

Jiang Ning still hadn’t accepted his friend request.

Bang!

Unable to contain himself, Cheng Zijun hurled the phone to the floor.

“Brother Zijun!”

Lin Yuze jumped at the outburst.

Cheng Zijun glared at him, eyes bloodshot. “Go tell Jiang Ning this—she’s achieved her goal! I’ll agree to remarry her! Tell her to come home immediately!”

Disgusting.

Jiang Ning was absolutely disgusting.

She had done all of this just to force him to remarry her.

He had underestimated her.

Before this, even if he were beaten to death, Cheng Zijun would never remarry Jiang Ning.

But now—

Things were different.

Impulse had developed a 3A game. If he didn’t act fast, even the Skyward Awards would be snatched by Impulse. By then, Cheng Group would collapse completely, becoming a relic of the past.

As the CEO of Cheng Group, Cheng Zijun would never allow that.

No matter what.

No matter the cost, he had to survive this immediate crisis.

So—

He had to endure.

Even knowing it was Jiang Ning’s trap, he had no choice but to walk into it.

Lin Yuze’s eyes widened. “Re-remarry?!”

“Yes!” Cheng Zijun forced down his disgust. “Isn’t this what Jiang Ning wants? Why do you think she did all this? To get my attention! Her ultimate goal is remarriage!”

No one understood Jiang Ning better than him.

They had been married less than a year, but Jiang Ning had worshiped him.

She put on heavy makeup for him.

She wore gray for him.

Because he liked bland food, she never touched anything spicy.

Because he liked orange perfume, she wore it every day.

After the divorce, she dropped the makeup and changed to a pure, innocent style—just to lure him back.

Then she joined Impulse.

Everything she did was for one purpose—

To remarry him.

Because Jiang Ning couldn’t live without him.

Lin Yuze stared at him like he was insane. He forced himself to reply calmly, “Brother Zijun, what you need to think about right now is not remarriage. It’s how to keep Cheng Group afloat. We put all our capital into Starfall. But Starfall flopped, and Glorious Pinnacle became the dark horse. Many partners are terminating their contracts.”

Although he now doubted everything he once believed about Cheng Group’s success, he still held a shred of hope that Cheng Zijun had some business talent left.

If he really were a dark horse, this setback shouldn’t be fatal.

Cheng Zijun rubbed his temples, exhausted. “Cut the nonsense. Go contact Jiang Ning and tell her to get over here!”

“…Sorry, Brother Zijun,” Lin Yuze shook his head. “I don’t have that ability. If you think you have what it takes to make Jiang Ning remarry you, then go find her yourself.”

“What did you say?”

Lin Yuze had always been his follower—obedient, unquestioning.

Yet today—

He dared talk back?!

Lin Yuze met his gaze. “I said I’m sorry. I can’t contact Jiang Ning.”

Then, like making a monumental decision, he removed his employee badge. “Brother Zijun, Jiang Ning will never remarry you. Stop dreaming. And… I should leave Cheng Group now.”

“You’re leaving?!” Cheng Zijun was stunned.

“Yes.”

“You’re sure?”

“Very sure.”

Cheng Zijun laughed in fury. “Fine! Go! But listen—you won’t be stepping foot into Cheng Group ever again!”

Lin Yuze didn’t respond. He simply gave Cheng Zijun a final glance, then turned and walked away.

Watching that departing figure—

Cheng Zijun grabbed a vase and threw it.

Crash!

The vase shattered against the wall.

He would regret it.

They all would.

Just wait.

Jiang Ning would come back to him soon.

Cheng Zijun strode out of the room and ordered the butler, “Uncle Wang! Find Jiang Ning’s address!”

He would go to her himself.

Shen Garden

In his study, Shen Jingnian sat before his computer.

On the screen—

The world of Glorious Pinnacle glimmered.

Shen Jingnian had played the game all night.

Yet he still wasn’t tired.

The developer of this game was a true genius.

She had rewritten the history of domestic games.

But…

Was this “Miss Jiang” the same Jiang he knew?

Thinking of this, Shen Jingnian narrowed his phoenix-eyes slightly, the corner of his lips lifting in anticipation.

“Meow!”

Little White launched itself into his lap.

“Xiao Bai, get down. You stink,” Shen Jingnian lifted the cat by the scruff and set it on the floor, face full of disgust.

He had a cleanliness obsession.

He only held Xiao Bai right after its bath.

It hadn’t bathed in over a month.

He went to the bathroom to wash his hands, but paused—

Wait.

His hands… didn’t smell that bad?

In fact, they smelled faintly fragrant.

A familiar scent.

Shen Jingnian stopped washing, returned to the study, crouched down, and held out his arms. “Come. Let Dad hold you.”

Xiao Bai: !!!

Has Dad been possessed?!

Terrifying!

Before the cat could react, Shen Jingnian lifted it into his arms.

Yes.

This scent.

Like winter plum blossoms—cold yet subtly sweet.

And to Xiao Bai’s utter shock—

The always-cold Shen Jingnian not only held it, he sniffed it nonstop.

The little cat blushed furiously.

Meow meow meow?!

So Dad loved it this much?!

Besides Dad—

The only other person who ever sniffed it like this…

Was Ning Ning.
