The Billionaires Ex wife

In the height of summer in August, the city was shrouded in a blanket of heat with no escape. Until a rainstorm poured down last night.

Jie Ran nestled in a small sofa by the window, holding a book, but her gaze was fixed on the floor-to-ceiling window. The rain picked up again in the afternoon, showing no signs of letting up.

The originally sultry world was split open by the rain, like a sword, and the heat dissipated. Even through the window, one could feel the coolness.

Lost in thought, a knock on the door interrupted Jie Ran. She didnt want to respond, but remembering how Aunt Zhao had panicked yesterday when she ignored the knock and called the family driver to break down her door, fearing she might do something rash...

To avoid a repeat, she spoke softly, "Leave it at the door, Ill eat later."

Aunt Zhao felt relieved hearing her voice and placed the fruit plate on the ground. As she left, she looked back at the door, shaking her head with a mix of pity and sympathy.

The Ji family was a prominent household, and their residence alone was worth tens of millions. It wasnt a place where someone like Aunt Zhao, a minor character, would sympathize with Jie Ran.

Three days ago, Jie Ran had a high fever, and neither of her parents came back to see her. After recovering, the girl locked herself in her room.

Aunt Zhao truly felt the girl was pitiable, with a father who didnt care and a mother who didnt love her.

Moreover, every servant and driver in the Ji family knew that Ji Qingli and Pei Yuan were on the verge of divorce.

Jie Ran pulled her gaze back and clearly saw herself in the dressing mirror next to her. She wore a pure white nightgown, with thick, black, and healthy long hair that fell smoothly on her shoulders, untouched by any chemical dyes.

Her cheekbones were not only beautifully rounded but also had skin that was blushingly fair, with large, clear, and clean black eyes that resembled glass beads.

Such a pure and moving appearance instantly took Jie Ran back ten years.

Three days ago, Jie Ran woke up from a high fever. Her last memory was of the car accident she was in, the unbearable pain throughout her body, and then she fell into a coma...

When she woke up again, she was in her familys villa from a decade ago. After seeing her face in the mirror for the first time, amidst shock and disbelief, Jie Ran finally confirmed one thing: she was reborn.

She had actually returned to her seventeen-year-old self.

...

The impact of being reborn was too great for Jie Ran, who hadnt stepped out of her room for three whole days. It wasnt until the sound of a car mingled with the rain.

Jie Ran got up and stood by the window; her room was on the second floor, facing the front door, allowing her a clear view of the car pulling in at that moment.

Coincidentally, her parents, who hadnt shown up even when she had a high fever, returned almost simultaneously.

The complete failure of Pei Yuan and Ji Qinglis marriage was something Jie Ran remembered well before the start of her sophomore year in high school.

She never expected that upon her return in this life, she would have to witness this divorce battle again. If there was one thing Jie Ran wanted to change in her rebirth, it definitely didnt include her parents divorce.

She didnt rush downstairs until the sound of clanging arose from downstairs.

After a moment of silence, Jie Ran decided to stand up.

This was the first time she had left her room since her rebirth. As she walked down the stairs, standing at the corner of the staircase, she took in everything in the living room.

The Ji familys house was decorated with elegance and taste, after all, both Ji Qingli and Pei Yuan were excessively wealthy.

However, at this moment, whether it was the chairs or tables in the living room, or even the famous paintings hanging on the wall, all were adorned with sticky notes. Jie Ran glanced at the painting on the wall, seeing a red sticky note with Pei Yuans name written on it.

This was her mothers name.

Not far away, a blue sticky note bore Ji Qinglis name.

At this moment, Pei Yuan and Ji Qingli were sitting in the living room. Since the sofa was bought by Pei Yuan, Ji Qingli no longer had the right to sit on it, so he sat on an antique chair he had purchased.

Their faces were relatively calm; all the arguing and bickering had already taken place.

Pei Yuan looked up and said calmly, "I will take the things I bought in the house, and the child will follow me in the future."

Ji Qingli immediately raised his head and said with some displeasure, "Why should the child belong to you?"

Jie Ran was still thinking whether she should wear a blue or red sticky note when they started discussing it. She quietly listened. To be honest, the last time her parents divorced, Jie Ran did not the scene.

Pei Yuan sent her to the Pei familys ancestral home for two months, and when she returned, the property and she were clearly divided.

Jie Ran followed her mother, but Ji Qingli would give a large sum of alimony every year.

She looked at Ji Qingli, sitting there, and even from such a distance, she could see the provocation on his face. He didnt really want Jie Ran; he just habitually didnt want to give what Pei Yuan wanted.

This was a habit accumulated over their years of marriage.

Pei Yuan sneered, "Are you saying that following you means acknowledging some unknown woman as their mother?"

"You shouldnt speak so harshly," Ji Qingli said, feeling his secret was exposed and immediately becoming angry.

However, he still barely restrained himself from getting angry.

Pei Yuan looked at the man in front of her with a cold smile and did not want to argue with him anymore: "The child is mine, and you give money."

Ji Qingli wanted to say okay directly, but he turned his head and saw Jie Ran standing at the stairway, coughing lightly: "Ran Ran is here too, let her choose for herself."

Jie Ran quietly looked at Ji Qingli, who was obviously much younger than ten years later.

Suddenly, she remembered that in the last life, after the divorce, Ji Qingli quickly found a new love, or more accurately, he was in a hurry to divorce Pei Yuan for a new love.

Without Pei Yuan or Jie Rans obstruction, Ji Qingli quickly formed a happy and harmonious family with his second wife and her daughter.

This indeed had little to do with Jie Ran because under Pei Yuans strict requirements, she was admitted to Stanford University after graduating from high school and entered a Wall Street investment bank in the United States after graduating from university, only to return to the country at the age of twenty-six.

Unexpectedly, after she went to City B for work, she found that the person known as Miss Ji was her fathers stepdaughter, who not only flaunted what belonged to Jie Ran outside but also arrogantly confronted Jie Ran.

Jie Ran didnt care about these things, but no one could take what belonged to her.

Moreover, because Pei Yuan had an indifferent attitude towards men after the divorce and never remarried, her fathers new wife actually thought that Pei Yuan still had illusions about Ji Qingli and repeatedly sabotaged Pei Yuans company behind her back.

Perhaps it was too easy to snatch other peoples things, so these people not only had no guilt but even showed off in front of the owner.

Jie Ran hadnt had time to deal with that mother and daughter when she was reborn.

In these three days, she locked herself in her room thinking about the past ten years of hard work under Pei Yuans strict requirements, as if she had finally leveled up a small account, but overnight she was knocked back to the
