Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Goodbye

Jiang Moli took a plastic bag containing a poop-shaped object out of her purse and tossed it to Lu Tingting.

Lu Tingting instinctively caught it.

Only after catching it did she realize what it was, and she quickly threw it to Wu Meixia.

Wu Meixia shrieked and, in turn, tossed it to Song Ke.

Song Ke, holding the soft, mushy bag of poop, was too scared to move. "AHHH, it’s so gross! Get it away from me!"

Jiang Moli said, "Don’t scream. Scream again, and I’ll shove it all in your mouth."

Song Ke was so scared she immediately snapped her mouth shut.

’I’m not eating poop!’

With a mischievous smile, Jiang Moli opened the plastic bag, picked up a lump with her finger, and, under the nauseated gazes of Lu Tingting and the other two, laughed. "It’s made of chocolate and roasted soybean powder."

"You’re lying! If it’s made of chocolate, why does it stink?"

"It stinks because I added fermented tofu. The smell is awful, but it doesn’t affect the taste."

Hearing this, a skeptical Lu Tingting leaned in for a sniff. She really could smell the sweet scent of chocolate. She dabbed a tiny bit on her finger and put it in her mouth.

Because of the roasted soybean powder and fermented tofu, the chocolate’s flavor wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad either.

Seeing Lu Tingting eat some, Wu Meixia and Song Ke also tried a bite out of curiosity.

"It really is sweet!"

"It’s just a little stinky. It really does smell a lot like poop."

Song Ke was already a glutton, and she was hungry now, so she couldn’t resist digging out another lump and popping it in her mouth.

A few passersby pointed at the four of them with strange looks in their eyes.

Jiang Moli waved them away. "Nothing to see here! Even if you look, it’s not for sale."

"Ew, gross! Who would want to buy that!"

"Eating poop on the street, that’s disgusting. They have no sense of public decency!"

『Disgust Value +4. 40,000 Yuan Credited.』

Song Ke had wanted to eat more, but hearing this, she quickly pulled her hand back.

Hearing the Disgust Value get credited, Jiang Moli was thrilled. "Come on, I’ll treat you all to a meal at a restaurant."

Because of Jiang Moli’s poop-eating stunt, Lu Tingting and the others had left the wedding banquet before the dishes were even served.

Now that they knew Jiang Moli wasn’t eating real poop, they no longer felt disgusted and happily followed her into the restaurant.

Meanwhile, back at the wedding banquet, even though Jiang Moli was gone, what she had done left an indelible memory on the guests.

Everyone was talking about Jiang Moli. Someone who didn’t know better might have thought she was the one getting married today.

Zeng Haiyan was about to go insane with anger.

You only get married once in your life. It was supposed to be full of beautiful, romantic memories, but it had been turned into a disgusting joke.

’That Jiang Moli deserves to be hacked to pieces!’

As guests and old classmates spread the word, the tale of Jiang Moli "eating poop" became widely known. Even though she didn’t leave her house, Disgust Value was credited to her account every day.

In just a few days, her mission progress reached 9901/10000.

...

The day before she was set to leave for Menghai, Yang Lijiong held a farewell dinner for Jiang Moli at Rongfeng Building.

Besides Yang Lijiong, there was also Chen Lan and her younger brother, Qian Ling, Wen Jingerui, Chu Shan, Lu Tingting and her trio of best friends, and Lin Jianfeng and his partner, all seated at a large, round table.

Yang Lijiong had personally arranged the menu, with every dish chosen according to Jiang Moli’s tastes.

"Let’s have some drinks. Do you want white wine or red?"

Knowing Jiang Moli enjoyed a drink, Yang Lijiong had specially brought two bottles of alcohol from home.

"She can’t drink!"

Lu Tingting and Qian Ling said at almost the exact same time.

Jiang Moli said, "I can drink. Just a little bit."

Qian Ling said, "You can’t."

Lu Tingting added, "If you dare drink, I’ll go home and tell Grandma and the others."

Yang Lijiong looked at the three of them, seemed to guess what was going on, and put the alcohol away. "Let’s not drink, then. Drinking can lead to trouble, and we don’t want to mess up tomorrow’s train ride. Let’s have juice instead."

Although there was no wine to drink, Jiang Moli got her fill of gossip.

Qian Ling’s great-aunt had previously introduced Qian Ling to a blind date, a man named Hong Hua. Last month, he married Qian Ling’s younger cousin, Qian Rong.

A few days ago, Qian Rong ran back to her parents’ house, demanding a divorce.

Apparently, Hong Hua had been kicked in the family jewels as a child, which affected his development. To this day, his "thing" was still about the size of a ten-year-old boy’s.

Qian Rong’s family was furious and went to Qian Meizhen to demand an explanation.

Qian Meizhen claimed she didn’t know anything about it.

But Qian Rong’s family wasn’t to be trifled with. After asking around, they found out that Qian Meizhen had not only accepted a 100-yuan matchmaker’s fee from the Hong Family, but had also used Hong Hua’s connections to secure a school enrollment for her grandson.

Pushing her own niece into a pit of fire for 100 yuan and a school spot—it was utterly shameless!

"My second uncle brought a hammer and smashed up my great-aunt’s house. My second aunt was even more ruthless—she went straight to the school and reported him by name. That Hong Hua has already been suspended from teaching. The Hong Family has been causing trouble for my great-aunt for the past few days, and they even beat up my great-uncle."

Hearing this outcome, Jiang Moli felt a sense of profound satisfaction.

"So, you see, when a man is getting on in years and still isn’t married, it might not be that he’s old... but that his ’little brother’ is too small."

Wen Jingerui and Lin Jianfeng felt as if they’d been shot through the heart.

Jiang Moli waved at them. "I wasn’t talking about you two."

Everyone at the table simultaneously turned to look at Chen Zhiyuan.

Besides Wen Jingerui and Lin Jianfeng, he was the only other man there.

Chen Zhiyuan quickly said, "I’m only twenty-one this year! I don’t count as ’getting on in years’ yet!"

The whole table burst out laughing.

It was still early after dinner, so everyone went for a walk along the Ring River to aid their digestion.

Yang Lijiong and Jiang Moli walked side-by-side at the back.

Yang Lijiong said pointedly, "So, is there good news?"

Jiang Moli sighed. "Actually, it’s a beautiful misunderstanding."

Yang Lijiong nodded. "I have something with the troupe tomorrow, so I won’t see you off. When I get a chance to go to Kun City, I’ll come visit you."

"Qiongqiong, let’s have a hug."

With that, Jiang Moli opened her arms and gently hugged her.

"Qiongqiong, I’m so happy I got to be friends with you."

Yang Lijiong raised her arms to hug her back. "Me too."

...

On the platform, An Hui held Jiang Moli’s hand, instructing her carefully, "If you need anything, call home and we’ll mail it to you. Especially your medicine, make sure you have it on hand ahead of time."

"Okay, Mom. You and Dad take care of yourselves. You too, Auntie."

Ma Hongmei nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Dahai said, "Once you get there, live a good life with Xiao Cheng. Don’t fight. And come back to visit whenever you have time."

Jiang Moli opened her arms and hugged Jiang Dahai. "Dad, take care."

Jiang Dahai froze.

The last time he had hugged his daughter was more than ten years ago.

His daughter had been quietly angry with him for a long time because of the arrival of Li Hongying and her daughter.

Even after she wasn’t angry anymore, as she grew older, she was no longer willing to be overly close to him.

A sense of happiness mixed with heartache spread through his chest, and Jiang Dahai couldn’t stop his eyes from getting wet.

He raised a hand and patted Jiang Moli’s back a couple of times. "Okay. Good!"

Jiang Moli let him go. "Don’t wear yourself out, but don’t be idle either. If you meet a suitable partner, bring her home. Life is short, so enjoy it while you can."

With his relatives right there, Jiang Dahai’s old face flushed with embarrassment. "Alright, alright, I know what I’m doing. You don’t need to worry about it."

Jiang Moli turned to Lu Tingting and ruffled her hair. "My good niece, listen to your family. If they tell you not to marry a man, then definitely don’t marry him."

Lu Tingting rolled her eyes and shoved a bag of fruit into her hands. "You should worry about yourself. Take these to eat on the way."

As she spoke, she glanced at Jiang Moli’s stomach. "Take care of yourself!"

"I’m going. Goodbye."

After waving goodbye to everyone, Jiang Moli turned and boarded the train.

WHOOO—

Amidst the long whistle, the train slowly pulled away from the platform.

Watching the city scenery recede outside the window, Jiang Moli’s heart swelled with an indescribable reluctance to leave.

’All good things must come to an end. Please forgive me for leaving first.’

’Goodbye.’
