Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Half an hour later.

In a dilapidated guesthouse.

Ye Chen carried the drunk Qian Jiali to the front desk to register.

When Ye Chen came to the county town before, he took a bus and rushed all the way.

They had originally planned to find Qian Jiali as soon as possible and go home.

But now Qian Jiali is hungover and desperately needs rest. If the vehicle is bumpy, she might vomit uncontrollably.

Ye Chen then made a last-minute decision to stay overnight in the county town.

Before leaving, he told Tian Xiaohui to keep the door closed.

It's just one night, it should be fine.

"Five yuan a night at the guesthouse, pay and register!"

At the front desk, a middle-aged woman with a stern face took out a registration form.

His eyes swept over Ye Chen with a hint of disdain, and he muttered under his breath.

"Young people are really setting a bad example. A woman drinking so much, isn't she just letting others take advantage of her?"

Ye Chen was too lazy to argue with the other party, so he reached into his pocket and blushed.

Oops!

I don't have enough money on me!

In this day and age, a technician in a state-owned factory earns only eighty or ninety yuan a month.

Five yuan is a huge sum of money for Ye Chen, a gambling addict.

When he arrived, Ye Chen hadn't expected to spend the night in the city, so he wasn't prepared.

After much hesitation, Ye Chen could only plead.

"Sis, how about this? I'll write you a note, and I'll bring you the money tomorrow after I go home and get it!"

"That won't do. Who knows if you have money or not? What if you just pack up and leave tomorrow and never come back?"

The middle-aged woman pursed her lips and refused outright.

For a moment, Ye Chen, holding Qian Jiali, stood frozen in place, unsure whether to leave or stay.

"What happened?"

Just as Ye Chen was struggling with his decision, a gentle voice came from behind him.

A young man walked into the lounge behind the reception desk.

The other person was wearing a Zhongshan suit, with his hair combed back, and he looked neat and tidy, giving off a noble feeling at first glance.

The middle-aged woman saw the young man and immediately approached him with a fawning expression.

"Boss, this kid's got a woman he's snagged somewhere, wants to stay at a guesthouse, but he doesn't have any money and insists on getting an IOU!"

"This is my wife, not a woman I abducted!"

Faced with this statement, Ye Chen frowned and argued.

Unexpectedly, before the young man could respond, a familiar figure emerged from behind him.

"Ye Chen, you... weren't you seriously injured? How come you're better?"

Accompanied by surprised voices, Ye Chen's third ex-wife, Luo Ling, appeared.

Compared to Ye Chen's rural attire, Luo Ling's clothes seemed completely out of place!

A dress accentuated Luo Ling's youthful energy.

Her exposed skin was exceptionally delicate, giving her a pampered appearance!

Luo Ling and the young man stood together like a perfect couple, while Ye Chen, her ex-husband, seemed like a complete stranger in comparison.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen's face darkened.

Luo Ling was originally from the city, and her father was a capitalist.

Having never lifted a finger since childhood, she should have had no connection with Ye Chen, a country bumpkin.

But fate is cruel. Two years ago, Luo Ling's father was classified as one of the "four categories" and was subjected to criticism and sent to the countryside.

Luo Ling was also forced to go to the countryside as an educated youth, hoping to use this opportunity to seek refuge.

But after all, she was a young lady from a wealthy family; Luo Ling had never experienced hardship.

He went out to work in the fields, but accidentally fell into a ravine.

If Ye Chen hadn't happened to pass by and reached out to save them, they probably would have frozen to death in the mountains.

Out of gratitude for Ye Chen saving her life, Luo Ling married him.

At the same time, it is also to rewrite the nature of the family.

As a young woman, Luo Ling was open-minded and was willing to accept Ye Chen living under the same roof with his two ex-wives.

Unfortunately, although Ye Chen has made some changes, he remains idle and lazy.

Every day, he would spend any money he earned on gambling.

Luo Ling was angry at his lack of ambition and saddened by his misfortune, which is why she divorced Ye Chen a week ago!

In his previous life, after Ye Chen recovered from his serious injuries, Luo Ling had disappeared. Later, he found out that she had married into a wealthy family.

She married the son of a county leader and became an official's wife.

Seeing Luo Ling with a man, Ye Chen's mind naturally wandered.

This woman, perhaps knowing she wouldn't wake up, has already found a new home and is preparing to flee, right?

"Miss Luo, do we know each other?"

"I wouldn't dare have anything to do with you, after all, we're not on the same wavelength at all."

In Ye Chen's mind, Luo Ling must have abandoned him for wealth and status.

Upon seeing each other again, he naturally showed no kindness whatsoever.

After saying this, he picked up Qian Jiali and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute..."

Unexpectedly, Luo Ling panicked completely when she saw Ye Chen's decisiveness.

He chased after the young man, disregarding his presence.

"Ye Chen, you stop right there! What kind of attitude is this?"

"I went to great lengths to save your life, asking friends for help everywhere. You can't even support me, and yet you look at me like that?"

Luo Ling stretched out her hands, blocking Ye Chen's path.

Upon hearing this explanation, Ye Chen was stunned for a moment.

So, does this mean Luo Ling didn't start something and then abandon it?

Was there a hidden reason why she married into a wealthy family in her past life?

Just as Ye Chen was wondering, Luo Ling turned around, glanced at the young man, and said coldly.

"Young Master Zhang, now that Ye Chen has woken up, please pretend I didn't say anything just now."

"I'm leaving first, and I hope we'll never see each other again!"

With a stern face, Luo Ling grabbed Ye Chen's arm and walked a long way in one breath.

They stopped only after turning a corner.

He turned around and coldly explained to Ye Chen.

"I know you misunderstood, but let me tell you, I have nothing to do with Zhang Shaoyang!"

"You sought him out before to save you. After you were seriously injured, the doctor examined you and found that the county hospital's equipment was outdated. You had to be transferred to a large hospital in the provincial capital to be saved."

"I sought him out because the Zhang family has some connections, and I wanted to use Zhang Shaoyang's connections to save your life first."

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized what was going on after hearing this explanation.

It turns out that Luo Ling was not after wealth and status, nor was she someone who started a relationship only to abandon it later!

There's more to the story than meets the eye when someone leaves in their past life!

Seeing Ye Chen remain silent, Luo Ling continued...

"That bastard, he's trying to take advantage of me! He said he could save me, but not for free, and he insists I marry him!"

"That's a pipe dream! I, of course, won't let her have her way!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's misunderstanding was resolved, and a deep sense of apology filled his heart.

So that's how it is!

No wonder Luo Ling married into a wealthy family in her past life; it was clearly because someone used her life as leverage!

Luo Ling wasn't an ungrateful wretch who left without saying goodbye; she probably disappeared back then to conceal the truth!

He had been confused for decades in his previous life, still wondering why Luo Ling was so heartless.

Looking back now, it's clear that I was being petty and letting my ex-wife down.

Seeing Luo Ling's arrogant expression, Ye Chen's eyes welled up with tears.

Now, all three ex-wives have returned!

It is truly a rare and precious time to reunite.

I must repent and reform myself so that they can live a good life!

Having made up his mind, Ye Chen stepped forward and nudged Luo Ling's shoulder with his own.

"I'm fine now, so Miss Luo doesn't have to suffer anymore."

"Come on, come home with me!"

"Who wants to go home with you? You coward, can you even support me?"

Luo Ling frowned and said disdainfully, but before she could finish her sentence, she still stood in the same row as Ye Chen.

"I'm not doing this for you, but for Xiaohui and Jiali. If I leave, they'll be heartbroken."

"By the way, what's wrong with Jiali? She smells like alcohol?"

"What exactly happened?"
