Chapter 745: Ji Yingjie Gets Beaten by Lao Qi 2

The two of them not only ignored it, but also blocked the Security Guard who was preparing to go over and intervene: "It's fine, that woman owes money and won't pay it back, let them hit her a few times to vent their anger."

"She won't be beaten to death, we've been watching for a long time..."

"We all know each other, you don't need to worry about it, and there's no need to call the police!"

The Security Guard didn't know Ji Yingjie, but he knew Sheng Hanyu and his wife.

When a big shot speaks, it naturally carries weight; if they said not to worry about it, then they wouldn't, so he left.

Ji Yingjie was beaten quite miserably.

But they were all flesh wounds, and no bones were broken.

Ji Yingjie was used to being pampered and spoiled, and she was always surrounded by Guards protecting her, so she never needed to practice martial arts for self-defense; that was why, when she was beaten this time, she didn't have the slightest ability to parry!

Lao Qi finally stopped.

Ji Yingjie climbed up from the ground, her face bruised and swollen, her eyes looking as if they were spitting fire: "You, you just wait for me, I will definitely not let you off!"

She turned around and left the hospital in a huff.

Ji Yingjie was about to be driven mad with anger.

Having lived for so many years, this was the first time she had suffered such humiliation!

Being beaten in public, ahhhhhhh, when had this ever happened? A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!

"Beep—"

Shi Youxuan's phone rang, and when she looked, it was her aunt calling.

She made a gesture for silence to Sheng Hanyu, then went to the side to answer the phone, pretending she knew nothing: "Aunt, is something the matter?"

"Shi Youxuan, where are you? You, right now, immediately, send Lao Qi to Prison, lock him up for the rest of his life and don't let him out!"

Ji Yingjie was driven mad with anger, her voice even changing pitch.

"Huh?"

She asked knowing the answer: "Why? How did Lao Qi provoke you to make you so angry?"

Ji Yingjie:...

She almost blurted it out, but the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back down by force.

She couldn't tell the truth!

If she told her niece herself that she had been beaten black and blue by her niece's husband's bodyguard, and she didn't even have the ability to fight back, that would be too shameful.

Face is very important.

Especially for a person of status like Ji Yingjie, face is even more important.

If this matter were to spread, would she even be able to face people in the future?

"I have something urgent right now, I'll call you back later."

"Beep, beep, beep—"

Without waiting for her niece to respond, Ji Yingjie hung up the phone, preparing to call Lao Qi.

She didn't have Lao Qi's number, so she called Nianyin.

When Nianyin's phone rang, Lao Qi had just entered the Hospital Ward, preparing to confess to her and apologize.

"Nianyin..." He had just started when the phone rang.

"The Clan Leader is calling me, help me answer it."

Nianyin meant for Lao Qi to answer the phone, hold it to her ear, and then leave.

But Lao Qi answered it directly and took it away: "Hello! It's me!"

Ji Yingjie gritted her teeth: "You are exactly who I'm looking for!"

"You listen to me carefully, you are not to tell anyone about what just happened, including Nianyin; if you say a single word about it, I will kill you."

Lao Qi:...

"Okay!"

Although he hadn't figured out why he shouldn't talk about it, this was doable!

He wanted to ask, do you want to talk to Nianyin?

Because Nianyin was urging him from the hospital bed: "Give me the phone, why did you answer my phone?"

"Beep, beep, beep—"

A busy signal came from the phone; she had hung up.

Lao Qi showed the phone to Nianyin, looking bewildered: "If I told you that the person your mother was looking for was me, would you believe it?"

"Mm."

Nianyin nodded; she believed it.

The Clan Leader often did things that were beyond comprehension, but everything she did was right, and she didn't need to explain herself.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

She thought of what had just happened, and she still felt uncomfortable inside.

Lao Qi said: "I won't leave until I've finished what I have to say. Can you let me finish?"

Having calmed down for a while, she wasn't as angry as she had been just now.

Nianyin had been in the Hospital Ward by herself just now, reflecting on things.

It was true that there was no reason for her to be angry; she wasn't anyone to Lao Qi, so she had no reason to lose her temper at him.

Seeing that Nianyin didn't object, he took it as her tacit consent: "I have had girlfriends before, but no girl has ever moved me like you have. Nianyin, I am serious; you don't have to rush to accept me, but please don't rush to reject me either."

"Give me a chance, a chance for us to understand each other, okay?"

Nianyin turned her head away, not looking at his face.

She muttered in a low voice: "Smooth talker, you probably say that to every girl."

Lao Qi was anxious.

He raised his right hand and swore: "If I have ever said such things to any other girl, may I be hit by a car when I go out and die a horrible death."

Nianyin said faintly: "You swear so fluently, you must have practiced quite a bit. You don't need to swear to me, I'm not anyone to you."

Lao Qi:...

He was completely at a loss; nothing he said worked.

He was incredibly anxious, but he noticed a hint of a smile at the corners of Nianyin's mouth, a bit cunning and also playful.

So he smiled too.

His face looked embarrassed, but his heart was sweet.

Underground Castle.

Ji Yingjie paced back and forth in the room, her face swollen like a pig's head.

That damn man, he hit so hard!

Although he avoided the vital points, with her face swollen like this, how was she supposed to go out and see people?

She had just applied some medicine, but the more she looked, the angrier she got, and she simply smashed the mirror!

She was so angry.

The more Ji Yingjie thought about it, the angrier she became.

She was angry not only because she was beaten by Lao Qi, but also because Shi Youxuan sent Shi Ran abroad and Wan'er hid the three children, all of which made her furious.

Didn't she just want a child?

Why was it so difficult?

Her own nieces guarded against her as if she were a thief, which made Ji Yingjie feel deeply aggrieved.

She wouldn't harm the children; taking them back was to cultivate them as the Heir of the Ji Family, with countless wealth and supreme power. Why couldn't they understand her painstaking efforts?

That's right.

Her successor was originally set as Nianyin, but Ji Yingjie later felt it was inappropriate.

Nianyin had the bloodline of a Servant in her bones, and the education she had received for many years was that obedience was paramount!

She had the ability but lacked the boldness.

Besides, she had originally thought she wouldn't live long and feared the Ji Family would have no successor, so she had no other choice but to adopt Nianyin as her foster daughter.

Nianyin was a foster daughter, and she could treat Nianyin as her own biological daughter, but Nianyin truly lacked the noble bloodline of the Ji Family; this was a fact that could never be changed!

Therefore, she still leaned toward Shi Ran and Wan'er's three children.

Anyone would do, preferably Shi Ran.

However, she didn't have the right to be picky, as they wouldn't give her a single one.

Ji Yingjie felt that her sincere heart had been fed to the dogs.

She was wholeheartedly good to them, but her two nieces just didn't appreciate it.

She was heartbroken and wanted to go back.

This dump of a place, Jiangzhou, was really not meant for people to stay in. The grievances and frustrations she had suffered here were more than she had experienced in the Ji Family for decades.

She couldn't stay in this place; she had to go back immediately.

Midnight.

Jian Family Hospital.

The door to Nianyin's Hospital Ward was opened gently, and a black shadow flashed inside quickly.

"Who?" Nianyin said sharply.

"Me."

Ji Yingjie was displeased: "Can't you even recognize me when I come in?"

"Clan Leader?"

Nianyin was overjoyed and was about to turn on the light when she was stopped by Ji Yingjie: "Don't turn on the light."

"Okay."

She didn't dare to turn on the light, but she also didn't dare to continue lying down.

Nianyin struggled to get off the bed and knelt in front of Ji Yingjie: "Clan Leader, the last incident was all my fault, please punish me."

"Forget it, you've already been punished, so there's no need to mention this matter again in the future."

Nianyin's hands were wrapped like ping-pong paddles, and Ji Yingjie felt guilty when she saw it.

Without comparison, one couldn't tell the good from the bad; the attitude of her two nieces toward her versus the attitude of her foster daughter toward her—who was perfunctory and who was respectful was clear at a glance!

"Rest well, I will come to pick you up to return to the Ji Family in a week." After saying this, Ji Yingjie left.
