Monique did not expect that an old and cringy movie would make her burst into tears. By the time they walked out of the cinema, it was already midnight. Brucille had a new found relation to the male lead in the movie.
The difference was that the male lead in the movie died, while he was reborn after his death.
Walking out of the cinema, he gently held Monique’s waist, took her hand, and said affectionately, “Monique, I will make you the happiest woman in the world.”
Monique let out a deep sigh. Then, she stopped in her tracks and looked into Brucille’s eyes.
“Tell me honestly, are you hiding something from me?” Monique asked.
“Of course, you don’t know how many moles there are next to my belly button.” Brucille joked.
Monique felt that he had become more and more daring lately and quickly pushed his hand away. Brucille, however, did not let her get away and pulled her into the car.
Just as they were about to get intimate, someone knocked on the glass window. Monique’s hair was a mess, and she did not dare to look up.
Brucille’s face was full of rage as he rolled down the glass window.
He saw a gorgeous lady, who said with excitement, “Excuse me, my car’s tire had burst. Can you help me change it to my spare tire?”
Little did she know that Brucille was in a bad mood because of her untimely interruption, and that hearing the words “spare tire” made him even angrier.
“No, young lady, do I look like a spare tire to you? Besides, you should look for repairmen if there’s something wrong with your car, not me.” Brucille roared.
The young lady was tall and slender. When she leaned downwards, her white neck was exposed, and the blue gemstone that hung around her neck was particularly attractive. She looked at Brucille awkwardly and didn’t know what to say.
Monique gave Brucille a few soft punches from behind. “Where is a lady going to find a repairman in the middle of the night? Do you have no kindness for others?”
Brucille turned around and looked at his wife in the passenger seat in disbelief.
He said sulkily, “Honey, don’t you know that I’m only kind to you?”
Monique bit her lips and said wittily, “Alright, I’m in a good mood today. I can consider certain things.”
Brucille’s eyeballs instantly made a 720-degree rotation in his eye socket, and he flung the door open. The lady’s car was a Porsche, the big kind.
Brucille found a spare tire in the trunk, but was extremely surprised when he took out the tire. “Young lady, is this your car?”
The lady said hesitantly, “This car belongs to my best friend. I borrowed it from her for my date tonight.”
Brucille was about to go crazy, because the spare tire was flat too!
He bought the spare tire to the passenger’s seat and showed it to Monique. “My dear wife, do you think I can blow into it until it’s full?”
Monique said understandingly, “Young lady, it’ll be very difficult for you to find someone to patch up your tire at this hour. Your spare tire is flat and can’t be used either. Why don’t you leave your car here and get someone to repair it tomorrow?”
Brucille was elated as Monique finally said something reasonable and sensible.
Nevertheless, the lady in front of her started crying. “This car is a rental. If I don’t return it before 8 o’clock tomorrow morning, not only will I have to pay for the rent, I’ll have to pay for the repair fees too.”
Brucille threw the spare tire back into the trunk and said with great frustration, “Young lady, did you really need to rent a Porsche for a date? Couldn’t you take a taxi? Besides, you are not a man.”
If it were a man who rented a luxurious car for a date, he could understand.
The lady cried so much that her makeup was ruined, Monique had no choice but to get off the car to console her. The lady then said, “My boyfriend’s family is very rich, and my boyfriend loves me very much. It’s just that his mother is very particular about marrying a girl from a family of similar status, so he advised me to rent a car. Who would’ve known that something would happen to the car.”
“Call your boyfriend immediately and tell him to come solve this problem for you. My wife and I have things to attend to.” Brucille said in annoyance.
He slammed the lid of the trunk. He didn’t want to spend the night watching over some weird lady.
The young lady cried even more, “My, my boyfriend is sending his mother back to her hometown. He’s probably more than 100 kilometers away right now. How is he going to help me…”
Monique, who was either overflowing with kindness or with the pure intention to annoy Brucille, said, “Hubby, everyone has difficult times. We should help her look for a car repair shop nearby, okay?”
Ever since his rebirth, this was Brucille’s closest attempt to success when it came to his wife, yet he still failed in the end. He found a tire shop that was 23 kilometers away, and spent an extra 500 yuan to get the staff to get out of their beds.
By the time he sent the weird lady away, it was already five o’clock in the morning, and Monique was already sleeping soundly in the backseat.
He drove the car slowly into their yard. Monique did not wake, she curled up in the back seat like a sleeping beauty. How was he going to control his beastly nature in front of a sleeping beauty like this?
So he gently and slowly carried Monique back to her bed. Monique put her arms around his neck and kissed him hard on the face.
“Thank you, hubby. I am tired, you should go to bed soon too.” she said softly.
Hubby?
Hearing the word ‘hubby’ come from Monique, Brucille felt content. He finally understood why Jack jumped into the sea. Maybe Rose had said the word ‘hubby’ to him as well.
He covered Monique with a blanket and returned to his room.
He turned on his laptop to check his income from the global stock market. However, because the amount he started with was too small, the profit was insignificant as well.
Thinking of the Oceanic Group that had been snatched over by Benedict Leung, his mere pennies were not worthy of a mention when compared to Benedict’s assets that were worth billions.
Therefore, he could only simmer down and continue to work hard to earn money. His road to success was still a long one, so he had to continue working hard.
He turned off his laptop, turned on the air conditioner, and had a good sleep.
The next day, everyone else in the family went to work. He hurried to Lucky Plaza to check on the renovation progress of his company. The renovation was almost completed, and all he needed to do was to buy furniture for the office.
He walked over and asked, “Based on our current progress, when should I start buying furniture?”
“Mr. Yip, the project here will be completed within three days. Your request is relatively simple, so the construction can be done relatively faster as well. These are the materials that will be added to the later construction. Please take a look and sign for confirmation.” the worker said.
Brucille signed his name directly without even looking at it.
Three days later, he would be able to have his own working space. By then, he would only need to hire one person to clean up after the place and another to manage the financial aspects of the company.
The thought of this lifted his mood.
In the meantime, Jerry and Flynt were waiting for Brucille in a teahouse. He left Lucky Plaza and went straight to the teahouse to get an update on Maxwell’s news.
