Chapter 744: Ji Yingjie Gets Beaten by the Seventh Oldest 1

At Wan'er's home.

Wan'er personally prepared a table of sumptuous dishes and invited her aunt to sit at the head of the table.

Jian Yining opened a bottle of red wine that had been cellared for many years and respectfully poured a glass for her aunt!

"Aunt, if we juniors have done anything lacking, please be generous and don't hold it against us." Jian Yining held his glass with both hands, his attitude respectful.

Wan'er followed suit, imitating her husband's manner as she respectfully raised her glass to toast her aunt: "You are a person of great magnanimity, please forgive us this once."

Ji Yingjie's lips curled upward in a mysterious smile, but she did not raise her glass.

She swept a sharp, piercing gaze over the two of them, as if she could look straight into their hearts.

Neither of them dared to meet her eyes; that is how people with a guilty conscience behave.

Finally, Ji Yingjie spoke: "Sweet little mouths, saying such pleasant things, but I fear the wine isn't quite so simple, is it?"

Jian Yining's heart skipped a beat.

Had she seen through the fact that he had put sleeping pills in the wine?

That shouldn't be; he had been very discreet.

Of course, one couldn't admit to such a thing; as long as one wasn't caught red-handed, one must deny it to the death!

"Clap!"

Jian Yining slapped the table, feigning anger: "You are going too far. We are treating you with courtesy, how can you slander us like this?"

"It doesn't matter if you slander me; in your heart, I will always be an outsider anyway. But even if you don't trust me, you can't distrust Wan'er, right? She is your own niece, blood is thicker than water, a close relative whose bones may be broken but whose tendons remain connected..."

Jian Yining was eloquent, while Wan'er listened from the side, her heart pounding with fear.

She really wanted to plug her husband's mouth.

He was talking too much; why couldn't this man stop once he started?

He should have just left it at that.

The wine pot on the table was a Mother-Child Pot, which the two of them had bought while traveling because they thought it was fun.

This type of wine pot looked perfectly normal on the outside, no different from a regular one.

In reality, it contained a hidden mechanism with a partition inside, allowing it to hold two completely different liquids.

The lid of the pot was the key to the mechanism.

When pouring, one simply gave it a light turn, and a different type of wine would come out.

The glass of wine for Ji Yingjie had been spiked with high-potency sleeping pills; half a glass was enough to make her sleep for three days and three nights.

Meanwhile, the wine in their own glasses was normal.

The two had already agreed that once she was drunk, they would quietly send her to the Yu Wanqing Psychological Clinic to be hypnotized, so she would forget about these two nieces!

And then she could go back to the Ji Family and stay there.

She should stop wreaking havoc in Jiangzhou.

Some relatives are better off not having at all!

Ji Yingjie was even worse than those relatives who came just to sponge off others; those people only wanted money, while she wanted people.

Being constantly targeted by relatives is fatal; they will use moral kidnapping against you.

The plan was good, but things didn't go as expected.

Ji Yingjie had seen through it.

Even though the two of them denied it desperately and refused to admit anything, and Jian Yining even "flew into a rage from shame" to counter-attack, pinning a big moral label on Ji Yingjie.

But it was useless; no matter what, she simply refused to drink the wine in her glass.

Ji Yingjie swapped the glass in front of her with Jian Yining's and commanded: "You drink this one."

Jian Yining:...

He was dumbfounded.

He couldn't drink it; he had to find an excuse to refuse.

The excuse was easy to find, and Jian Yining said indignantly: "Aunt, our Jiangzhou is a land of ceremony, and the people of Jiangzhou have manners. Swapping wine glasses is something only peers do. There is an order of seniority, and I cannot do this."

Wan'er:...

She admired her husband, admired him to the point of prostration.

He was so good at making up lies; this mouth could talk a dead person back to life!

How did he come up with that?

But while he had moved his wife, he hadn't fooled Ji Yingjie.

Ji Yingjie smiled slightly, her expression mocking: "Can't swap, is that so? Easy."

As she spoke, she casually tossed the wine in front of her onto the floor, then pointed at the glass in front of Jian Yining and said: "Drink! One cannot refuse what an elder bestows!"

Jian Yining:...

Completely dumbfounded.

Now he had no excuse.

He really wanted to slap himself twice; his mouth had been too fast just now, and his brain hadn't kept up.

He had spoken too definitively, and now he couldn't take it back.

What was he to do?

He couldn't think of a way.

Wan'er, however, suddenly picked up the glass in front of her husband and poured that wine onto the floor as well: "A mosquito fell into the glass, it can't be drunk anymore."

He secretly gave his wife a thumbs-up in his heart; she was too excellent, his wife was reliable at critical moments.

The little tricks the couple were playing were all seen by Ji Yingjie.

Now she didn't want to watch anymore; she stood up and left.

Before leaving, she dropped a sentence: "Next time you use drugs, use more sophisticated methods. Things like the Mother-Child Pot are everywhere on the street; they aren't rare."

……

Hospital.

When Ji Yingjie returned home, she did not see Nianyin, but she heard from a neighbor about the ambulance coming over.

Only then did she know that Nianyin had been hospitalized; this girl was too ruthless to herself.

Finding the hospital was not a difficult task, and she felt a bit guilty in her heart now.

Letting Nianyin do it herself was just to make her go easy on herself.

Who knew that girl would be so honest?

Seeing Lao Qi in the corridor, that bit of guilt in Ji Yingjie's heart vanished instantly.

"Why are you here? Get lost!"

Seeing Ji Yingjie, Lao Qi's state of mind was completely different from their last meeting.

If it weren't for this old witch, Nianyin wouldn't be in such a miserable state!

He pointed his finger at Ji Yingjie and warned her viciously: "Ji Yingjie, I'm warning you, if you dare to lay a finger on Nianyin again, I will take your life!"

He was serious.

But to Ji Yingjie's ears, this sounded just like a joke.

Being threatened by a man?

That was something that had never happened in Ji Yingjie's life; in her world, men were timid, cowardly, and ignorant creatures, and she looked down on them from the bottom of her heart.

Now that she was actually being threatened by a man, wasn't it just like listening to a joke?

"You aren't qualified to talk to me, get lost."

If it had just been that, Lao Qi wouldn't have been particularly angry.

But then Ji Yingjie added another sentence: "Later, I'll break Nianyin's legs too, and then find a hundred men to serve her."

Her original intention was that Lao Qi was not worthy of Nianyin; even if Nianyin were a cripple without hands or feet, Lao Qi still wouldn't be worthy of her!

The women of the Ji Family are high and mighty.

They are not something just any man can possess.

But to Lao Qi's ears, the meaning changed completely!

He was even more convinced that Ji Yingjie was a wicked old witch; Nianyin had not had it good in her hands, she had suffered plenty of abuse from her in the past, and now she wanted to bully Nianyin even worse in the future?

No way.

Not a chance.

He had to give her a lesson to taste.

Thus, Lao Qi beat Ji Yingjie up on the spot!

Ji Yingjie had no room to fight back at all, she could only let out

……

Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu were hiding in a corner watching the spectacle.

Neither of them intended to go out and stop it.

Not only were they watching the spectacle, they were also providing commentary.

"Tsk tsk."

Shi Youxuan leaned her head on her husband's shoulder and praised: "Lao Qi is really not bad, he's so angry that he's hitting someone, yet he still has restraint, avoiding the vital parts everywhere."

Sheng Hanyu turned his head to look at his wife and reminded her: "Don't you feel uncomfortable at all? The person being beaten is your aunt."

Her aunt was being beaten, yet she didn't look uncomfortable at all; she even looked quite satisfied.

"Not at all."

Shi Youxuan widened her big eyes, her expression as innocent as could be: "Don't you think she deserves to be beaten?"

"Deserves it, she's long deserved to be beaten!"

Sheng Hanyu didn't dwell on this question, and the couple continued to watch.
