Chapter 1199: I’m Actually A Good Person

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

3 days later, in the afternoon.

The campus was still bustling. For many students, it was a relatively peaceful day, because a certain scumbag was absent from class again.

As soon as it was time for school to end, Tiffany, lead of the Discipline Inspection Department of the student union, was about to go to the student union office when she saw Python walking from the opposite side.

Python was also from a remarkable family, but Tiffany knew that she and Chen Rui were in the ‘same group’, so she had a bad impression of Python. The relationship was only a nod at best.

This time, Python was not silent as usual. Instead, she handed a USB flash drive and a document to her, “He asked me to hand them to you.”

Tiffany frowned as she took a look at the stamped and hand printed document. Even she, who was always calm, couldn’t help being stunned.

Python didn’t say much, and she turned away.

Tiffany hurried into the student union office. She turned on the computer and inserted the USB flash drive. There was only 1 video file in it.

There was a sentence at the beginning, “I, Chen Rui. Roland, officially cancels the engagement with Tiffany. Mammon…”

Tiffany stayed where she was mixed with surprise and joy. She was actually speechless for a moment.

In another place, Kia also showed a surprised expression. She had a letter and a bank card in her hand.

In the hospital, George. Wales, who was inexplicably transferred to the intensive care unit, was also surprised, especially after being told that someone had paid for all the treatment in advance.

A similar scene was happening in many places at the same time.

A certain kindergarten.

Chen Rui was talking on his mobile phone, “Okay, thank you, Python. Other things are not important. The key is to go on the path you believe in. I will bear all the consequences myself.”

There was another question on the phone, which made Chen Rui slightly taken aback. He replied, “I’m sorry, I just don’t want to… regret it more.”

There was silence on the phone for a long time before she hung up.

Chen Rui took a deep breath, and he turned his eyes back to the little girl in front of him, “Duoduo, do you like this kind of pig head biscuits?”

“Mommy said that I can’t eat things from strangers.” The little girl’s cute voice said so, but her round eyes were fixed on those biscuits. Although this baby was in a different world, she was still so cute.

“Duoduo, we are already friends, so we are not strangers anymore.” Chen Rui stroked his ‘daughter’ on the head, and looked at the vigilant kindergarten teachers – There were also 2 familiar faces. One was Veronica while the other was actually the Dragon Valley Sissy Karru.

Chen Rui grinned at Karru, “Don’t be nervous. I’m actually a good person.”

Karru, “…”

Chen Rui smiled at Veronica again, and he said softly to Duoduo, “Eat the biscuits later. I’ll wait for mommy with you here, okay?”

When Veronica and the others heard that he was waiting for Catherine together, they, who seemed to be facing a great enemy, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, a beautiful figure appeared in the vision.

No doubt it is the Dark Shadow Empire’s Royal Majesty Empress. Uh, no, it is ‘my beautiful teacher’.

“Mommy!” Duoduo exclaimed happily. Chen Rui picked up Duoduo and greeted her.

Catherine’s pupils shrank suddenly when she saw Chen Rui, “Why are you here?!”

“Let’s go out and talk.” Chen Rui carried Duoduo and walked outside the kindergarten.

Catherine clenched her fists and followed behind him.

The ‘family of three’ walked for a while, and Chen Rui finally stopped in a deserted place.

“You should buy a car. Walking from kindergarten to home isn’t a short distance. What’s more, you have Duoduo with you.”

“Stop talking nonsense! What on earth do you want to do?!”

“Don’t worry. I mean no harm.”

“Is this still called ‘no harm’? You’re more shameless than I think! Didn’t you say that we will never see each other again? Now you are actually threatening me with Duoduo!” Catherine gritted her teeth, “Let my daughter go or I will immediately call the police!”

“It should be ‘our’ daughter.” Chen Rui did not show a panic expression. Instead, he showed a calmness that was strange to Catherine, “I have found out a lot these days. Duoduo is indeed my daughter. Considering the time, it seems that ‘I’ am indeed a scum.”

Catherine suddenly thought of a possibility, and her facial expression became paler, “No matter what, I will never give up on Duoduo!”

“You misunderstood.” Chen Rui put Duoduo down, and he stuffed the box of pig head children’s biscuits into his daughter’s arms.

Catherine immediately strode forward and held Duoduo in her arms. She saw a big envelope handed over by him, “What is this?”

“Take a look yourself.”

Catherine looked suspiciously at Chen Rui, who looked as usual, before she finally put down the Duoduo. She opened the envelope and took out a transparent document bag. The top one was a check, of which the amount was so large that even Catherine couldn’t help being startled. Nonetheless, she soon showed a disdainful expression, “Your offer is much more generous than that of your director father who wants to settle the matter, but I didn’t accept it last time. Do you think I will change my original intention this time?”

Chen Rui shook his head, “The money is not for you, but for Duoduo. The things for you are below.”

Catherine opened the file bag and flipped through the documents with an intense shocked expression on her face, “Are… are you crazy?”

“I’m not crazy. I’m just doing what I should do.” Chen Rui watched Catherine quietly as if he was watching the Dark Shadow Empire’s empress who said ‘worth it’ in the battlefield, “You take good care of these things. You can use them when the time comes.”

Catherine was still in shock. She lifted the documents, “Do you know what it means once these things are made public? Not only you but the entire Roland Family…”

“Of course I know. You’re a smart person, so I’ll give it to you.”

Catherine looked at Chen Rui’s clear gaze as if meeting this man whom she hated so much for the first time. Then, she slowly shook her head, “No, you are not him. Who are you?”

“As expected of you, Catherine. You are the first person to ask this question,” Chen Rui looked around with a hint of regret flashing across his eyes, “Unfortunately, even if this point is discovered, there is still no way to get rid of this world, No doubt, it is not an ordinary illusion. Is it a ‘world’ that reflects the mind? Or is it really a real mirror world as the damn prophet said? It seems that I can only choose 1 of the nodes…”

Even if Catherine was very intelligent, she didn’t understand, “I don’t understand what you mean?”

Chen Rui smiled and said, “There is always darkness and light in people’s minds. I’m either another person in the mirror or just a phantom that is about to disappear. If one day I disappear, the other side of the mirror… which is that evil guy is back here again. Then you can hold your destiny in your own hands. Not just your own destiny. I know you have the courage and the wisdom.”

With that said, Chen Rui walked up to Catherine, squatted down, and kissed Duoduo. Then, he stood up, walked straight forward, and waved to Catherine with his back facing her.

“No matter what kind of existence I am or what kind of existence you are, it’s nice to see you and Duoduo again.. Take care…”

Watching that figure go away, a strange emotion surged in Catherine’s mind. Even she couldn’t believe that this kind of emotion would actually breed on the person she hated the most.

“Mommy, is he daddy?”

“Me also… don’t know. Let’s go home, baby.”

Half an hour later.

Chen Rui’s car stopped at the gate of the villa.

“Don’t worry, Kovax, I have a measure of these things. Now I’m going to do the most important thing first. When it’s over, I’ll immediately call my father to explain it myself. Now I’m turning off the phone, so don’t bother me.” Chen Rui decisively turned off the phone and got out of the car.

After entering the villa, Lanliza greeted her immediately, “Young master, you are back.”

“Are both guests here?”

“Yes, they are. They are all in the study on the second floor.”

“After I enter the study, I will turn on the highest level of anti-theft security. From now on, no one is allowed to approach the study under any circumstances.” Chen Rui gave Lanliza an order and walked toward the second floor.

In the study on the second floor, there were 2 people: A man and a woman.

When the man saw Chen Rui walking in, he smiled, while the woman looked extremely vigilant.

“Alucier, Athena.” Chen Rui shrugged and said, “Sorry for keeping you 2 waiting.”

These 2 people were actually the 2 key figures in this world, plus Chen Rui himself, the 3 ‘nodes’ were all together.

Before, when Athena was ‘invited’ to come here, she had already prepared for the worst, but she was surprised when she saw that the school’s most prestigious principal, Alucier, was also there, so she was confused about Chen Rui’s purpose.

This ‘scumbag’ actually calls the principal by his name directly as soon as he comes back. No doubt he is extremely arrogant. Athena couldn’t help but clenched the little dagger hidden in her sleeve for self-defense.

“I didn’t feel it was ‘a long time’. On the contrary, I was very surprised by your speed. You made a decision so quickly? It seems that it’s time to choose.” Alucier’s casual attitude surprised Athena even more. She couldn’t understand the meaning of those words.

“Sooner or later, it will come anyway. It’s better to end it sooner.” Chen Rui walked forward slowly, “Before this, I had something I wanted to do for a long time…”

Before he finished speaking, Alucier was punched hard in the face in Athena’s exclamation. He lost his footing immediately and fell down on the sofa.

“Principal!” Athena stood in front of Alucier furiously— This bastard is actually so lawless. He beat Alucier, this respected principal, in front of me!

It took Alucier a long time to recover. He slowly sat up on the sofa. Then, under Chen Rui’s stunned gaze, he spat out a miniature sports mouthguard from his mouth, took out a healing spray from the bag he brought to spray the wound, and wiped the wound with a medical cotton.

That relaxed posture seemed to have anticipated this punch.

Shit! Damn prophet!

Chen Rui clenched his fists a little bit, feeling the urge to punch again.

TL: What’s his choice?
