Ji Yanchen, who was originally vicious, got instantly dumbstruck and stood rooted to the spot.

… 

Later on, at the Ji family’s private hospital, Du Jiuyuan had just woken up and was being questioned by the police. It turned out that the renovation workers had called the police when they left. When the police arrived, they saw blood all over the floor alongside the unconscious Du Jiuyuan. Ji Yanchen was also being questioned by the police and his face was full of impatience.

Ji Jingchen who was dressed in a high-class handmade suit came into sight. Ji Yanchen’s tone changed. “Brother…”

Ji Jingchen looked at Du Jiuyuan, who was in the ward, with a gloomy face. Gu Xingchen was also with him. He glanced at Ji Yanchen and said something to the police. The police outside the door called for his colleagues to leave.

Ji Jingchen walked into the ward and closed the door. His whole body looked gloomy. Since the wedding day, Du Jiuyuan had not seen Ji Jingchen. She had not even heard any news about him. Neither of them expected that they would meet under such circumstances.

“Does it hurt?” In the end, it was Ji Jingchen who spoke first.

“I’m alright,” Du Jiuyuan said perfunctorily.

Ji Jingchen saw Du Jiuyuan’s pale face and knew that she was not telling the truth. He pulled a chair and sat in front of her.

“How are you going to deal with Yanchen’s matter?” Ji Jingchen could not find another topic to talk about, so he could only ask this question. 

“Huh? How do you think I can deal with it?” Du Jiuyuan asked in return.

“I won’t let him be detained,” Ji Jingchen said bluntly.

Du Jiuyuan didn’t say anything else. She snorted lightly. She knew it would be like this. Ji Yanchen was Ji Jingchen’s younger brother, a person he had to protect no matter what. How could he give her the right to choose?

“Ji Yanchen, get over here!” Ji Jinchen saw that Du Jiuyuan was uncomfortable with his hostility, so he changed his target.

Ji Yanchen was at the door. When he heard Ji Jingchen’s voice, he said obsequiously, “Bro… I didn’t do it on purpose. She lost her balance and fell with a push.”

“Apologize!” Ji Jingchen ordered.

“Why? She still…” Before Ji Yanchen could finish his sentence, he felt a pain in his knee. Ji Jingchen had kicked him. 

“Apologize! Otherwise, it’s time for me to send you to Africa,” Ji Jingchen threatened.

The Ji family has business in Africa as well, but they did not have anyone to take care of it. Ji Yanchen was most afraid of being sent there. When he thought of the horrible days in Africa, Ji Yanchen felt uncomfortable all over.

“I’m sorry!” Ji Yanchen glanced at Du Jiuyuan who was lying on the hospital bed. The words that came out of his mouth seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Du Jiuyuan’s expression was calm, as though she had not heard him.

Ji Jingchen glanced at Ji Yanchen. Ji Yanchen repeated vaguely, “I’m sorry!”

“You’re not being sincere enough,” Du Jiuyuan said. 

When Ji Yanchen heard this, he immediately stood up. “Du Jiuyuan, I gave you face, you…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ji Jingchen gave him another kick. Ji Yanchen squatted down again in pain, his brows furrowed tightly. Ji Yanchen looked at his brother with a pleading look. Ji Jingchen turned his head away and ignored him.

“Du Jiuyuan, I’m sorry,” Ji Yanchen said in a low voice.

“Mr. Ji, if it’s not a sincere apology, I don’t want it.” The corners of Du Jiuyuan’s mouth rose slightly. Her pale little face made people feel sorry for her.

Ji Jingchen stared at Ji Yanchen like an eagle. He, who was squatting on the ground, only felt a chill run down his spine.

In the end, Ji Yanchen pretended to realize his mistake under Ji Jingchen’s authority. “Miss Du, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have attacked a woman. Please forgive me.”

Du Jiuyuan knew that Ji Yanchen would never realize his mistake. She had only made the right gamble today. Ji Jingchen had only lent Ji Yanchen his men and did not know what he was going to do. Ji Jingchen himself would never attack Du Jiuyuan.

“Forget it, get out!” Du Jiuyuan sighed. She was too insignificant right now and did not have the means to fight with the Ji family.

Ji Yanchen felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders and he left as though he was fleeing from a disaster.

“I will compensate for all the damage that Ji Yanchen has caused. I will arrange for the renovation works. In a while, the hospital Dean will come personally to check on you,” Ji Jingchen did not leave and said in a business-like tone.

“Ji Jingchen, I cannot sue him, but from now on, the Ji family should not appear in front of me, including you.” Du Jiuyuan was heartbroken. She had heard such a tone more than once or twice. In life, not everything could be treated as a business..
