After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Lin Mengchuan looked at Qi Mu'an and said with a smile, "Big cousin, how old are you? Do you still need to complain to your parents?"

"Lin Mengchuan, you..." Qi Mu'an's face turned red with anger, "A real man honors his bet, are you trying to be a scoundrel now? Have you forgotten what you said?"

Lin Mengchuan stood up, supporting himself with his hands on the ground. "That's right, I'm just being a scoundrel. Second cousin, don't think that just because you married Qiao Ran, I'll give up on you. Don't forget, you can get a divorce even if you're married."

"Besides, you're secretly married now, and no one knows you're married, so I can pretend you've never been married."

Qi Muci laughed in exasperation, "Where do you get the confidence to think that Qiao Ran will divorce me and come back to you?"

Lin Mengchuan paused for a moment, then said, "Because what I want, I will definitely get!"

Qi Muci's eyes turned sharp. "Lin Mengchuan, Ranran is a person, not an object. You don't even understand the most basic respect. You are not worthy to mention her name at all."

Qi Mu'an shook his head at Lin Mengchuan, "Mengchuan, I really didn't expect you to still be so naive."

Lin Mengchuan stood motionless, watching the Qi brothers' departing figures, and gritted his teeth, saying, "I will not admit defeat easily. What I cannot have, you can forget about having either."

Xu Qing felt a chill run down her spine after hearing Lin Mengchuan's words. "Brother Chuan, don't do anything reckless. Murder is illegal."

Lin Mengchuan turned around and glared at Xu Qing, "Are you out of your mind? Why would I kill her?"

Xu Qing: "Then what did you mean by what you just said?"

Lin Mengchuan: "What I mean is, I want to find a way to break up my cousin and Qiao Ran and make them divorce."

Xu Qing: "Breaking up someone else's marriage will be punished by lightning."

Lin Mengchuan: "Have you ever seen someone die from being struck by lightning?"

"Yes, I saw it in the news before," Xu Qing replied seriously.

Lin Mengchuan rolled his eyes at Xu Qing and stormed off.

Xu Qing quickly caught up with him, "Brother Chuan, we're brothers. To be honest, I think you're a bit obsessed. Are you really too deeply in love to extricate yourself, or are you just trying to spite your cousin?"

Lin Mengchuan did not answer, because he did not know why either.

Anyway, he was still unconvinced. He originally thought that as time went by, he would gradually forget about Qiao Ran.

But recently he discovered that not only had he not forgotten her, but his desire to have her had become even stronger.

He now struggles with this intense desire every day.

This feeling is similar to when he was a child and wanted a certain toy. If his family couldn't give it to him, his desire for that toy would become stronger and stronger until his family gave it to him.

If you say he's obsessed, then he is.

He was determined to get Qiao Ran, and even if he couldn't, he couldn't let Qi Muci get her.

"What would you do if your cousin took away your most desired toy?" Lin Mengchuan asked abruptly while changing clothes in the locker room.

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, "But, Brother Chuan, your second cousin is right. Qiao Ran is a person, not an object. People have feelings. I think Qiao Ran likes your cousin, otherwise she wouldn't have remarried so quickly."

Lin Mengchuan smiled contemptuously, "Xu Qing, I'm not surprised at all that a woman like Qiao Ran wants money and a powerful backer, not love. She was willing to have a whirlwind marriage with me back then, and she'll do the same with my cousin now."

"Actually, I suspect that this was a deal between Qiao Ran and my cousin."

Xu Qing: "You're saying their marriage was a transaction?"

Lin Mengchuan said confidently, "That's right, I've thought about it carefully. After Qiao Ran divorced me, she immediately signed with my cousin's company, and then went to Licheng with my cousin to film a TV series."

"Isn't it obvious? Signing a contract to act was the condition for Qiao Ran to agree to marry my cousin. Maybe her contract even included these additional conditions. Do you know what that means?"

Xu Qingzhen didn't understand. "What does it mean?"

Lin Mengchuan chuckled, "It means that Qiao Ran doesn't love my cousin at all, which is why I'm confident I can separate them."

Xu Qing didn't respond; she was speechless at Lin Mengchuan's inexplicable self-confidence.

Seeing that Xu Qing remained silent, Lin Mengchuan said smugly, "Don't you think my reasoning makes a lot of sense?"

Xu Qing gave a forced smile and began to tidy up Lin Mengchuan's clothes.

My phone suddenly rang in my pocket.

He took it out to check, then nudged Lin Mengchuan with his elbow, "It's Jiang Jingjing. Why is she calling me? Why didn't she call you?"

Lin Mengchuan glanced at Xu Qing's phone screen, his expression turning impatient. "I've blocked her."

Xu Qing held her phone, unsure whether to answer or not.

Lin Mengchuan walked away on his own.

He had no choice but to answer the phone while holding up their clothes, "Ms. Jiang, hello, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Jingjing sat on the sofa in her living room, looking at her newly done manicure, and said in a coquettish voice, "Mr. Xu, what are you saying? Can't I come to you for no reason?"

Xu Qing gave a fake smile, "Hehe, of course."

Jiang Jingjing: "Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. Is Meng Chuan with you? He left his watch at my house. Can you ask him for me whether I should bring it to him or he should come to my house to pick it up?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing deliberately said loudly, "Brother Chuan left his watch at your house?"

Lin Mengchuan turned back and mouthed to Xu Qing, "Throw it away."

Jiang Jingjing: "Yes."

Xu Qing stopped and whispered to Jiang Jingjing, "I'll send you an address later. Could you please call a local courier for me?"

After saying that, Xu Qing mentally complained that Lin Mengchuan was a spendthrift, since all his watches were custom-made and limited editions.

It's not cheap at all.

How can you just throw it away like that?

If Lin Mengchuan doesn't want it, you can give it to him.

Jiang Jingjing said with difficulty, "Mr. Xu, it's inconvenient for me to call a courier. You know I'm an actress. If others find out I live here, I'm afraid I won't have a peaceful life anymore."

Xu Qing: "After I'm done with my work, can I come to your house to pick it up later?"

Jiang Jingjing was also unhappy, "I'm afraid if you come, what if the paparazzi take pictures? It would be better if Meng Chuan came by himself."

Xu Qing was confused. "Aren't you afraid the paparazzi will photograph Meng Chuan?"

Jiang Jingjing: "That's different. After all, Meng Chuan and I have had physical intimacy..."

Xu Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Alright, just say you want to see Lin Mengchuan, isn't that enough?

They went through such a big circle.

Because of this, Xu Qing's goodwill towards Jiang Jingjing vanished instantly.

"Then just throw that watch away. Brother Chuan said he doesn't want it anymore. That's it, Miss Jiang. I'm driving." Xu Qing hung up the phone after saying that and hurried to catch up with Lin Mengchuan.

He was certain that Jiang Jingjing would never lose the watch and would definitely use it as an excuse to see Lin Mengchuan.

Lin Mengchuan stood at the gate, waiting for Xu Qing in the cold wind.

He was thinking about how to break up Qi Muci and Qiao Ran.

Find a beautiful woman to seduce Qi Muci?

Few men can resist the temptation of beauty, and Lin Mengchuan felt that Qi Muci was no exception.

Xu Qing chased after Lin Mengchuan and complained, "Brother Chuan, Jiang Jingjing is too difficult to deal with. She insists on seeing you."

Lin Mengchuan's eyes darted around, and he asked, "Do you think Jiang Jingjing is pretty?"

Xu Qing, unsure of Lin Mengchuan's intentions, paused before replying, "She's quite pretty. In the current domestic entertainment industry, she's definitely one of the top actresses. What's wrong, Brother Chuan? Have you changed your mind?"

Lin Mengchuan: "Yeah, I want her to seduce my cousin."
