“I don’t know, but Grandmother Ji is not an unreasonable person.” This would also be the last hope for Du Jiuyuan.

Otherwise, no one would be able to persuade that annoying man, Ji Jingchen.

“Do whatever you want to do. If you really can’t get it done, we’ll go back to Zhongshan together. Auntie will take care of you for the rest of your life!” Du Ling held Du Jiuyuan’s hand and said in an imposing manner.

...

Three days later, Du Jiuyuan was discharged from the hospital after undergoing a series of examinations. Other than her voice being a little hoarse, she no longer felt any discomfort.

Ji Jingchen personally came to pick them up. “Yuanyuan,?shall we go home?” It was rare for him to ask her about her wishes.

“I want to go back to the apartment. The Ji family home makes it hard for me to breathe.” Du Jiuyuan had listened to Du Ling’s series of nagging over the past three days and one thing was clear. She could not go against Ji Jingchen for the time being.

She did not wish to escape death once again like the time when they were trapped in the forest fire.

“Okay.” Ji Jingchen was silent for a while before replying.

This time, Ji Jingchen sent Du Jiuyuan to the apartment and promptly left. However, the four bodyguards guarding Du Jiuyuan in the hospital earlier were now stationed near her apartment.

Du Ling took the initiative to take on the responsibility of cooking for Du Jiuyuan. According to her, Du Jiuyuan had just been discharged from the hospital and needed proper care.

The two of them went out to buy vegetables together. Two big men followed behind them. Du Ling was a little angry, but there was nothing she could do. After all, they were only doing things according to their master’s orders.

After returning to the apartment, Du Ling began to remove the bones from the chicken. This was a secret technique that she had learned for a long time and had a 70% success rate.

Knock, knock, knock—

There were a few loud knocks on the door. Du Jiuyuan went to open the door.

Tang Yingxue immediately rushed in. She came alone.

“You’re really here, Du Jiuyuan. Are you regretting your decision? You’re worse than a dog for leaving Brother Jingchen. Tell me, what kind of bewitching soup did you give him?” The visitor was clearly not a friendly person. Plus, there was no Mrs. Ji by her side, so Tang Yingxue was acting particularly impudent.

Du Jiuyuan was about to speak when a fresh carp was thrown straight at Tang Yingxue.

“Ah... what is this?” Tang Yingxue hurriedly tried to dodge, but it was already too late. The carp hit her squarely in the face.

“Oh my little carp, why are you being so immature and naive? Look, you finally got into trouble and bumped into something, aren’t you just a little unlucky?” Du Ling completely ignored Tang Yingxue’s existence. She grabbed the carp and played with it as if she was going to launch it at Tang Yingxue again.

“You... how dare you treat me like this?” Tang Yingxue was scared and felt uncomfortable at the same time, so she ended up shouting.

Du Ling turned around and left with the fish in her hands.

“If you are able, go ahead and ask your Brother Jingchen to agree to divorce me and then marry you instead. That would be far better than coming here to pick a fight with me.” Thanks to Du Ling’s intervention, Du Jiuyuan’s mood got much better.

Tang Yingxue used her coat to wipe her face. Her makeup was a little messy now, and she looked very embarrassed.

“You...” Tang Yingxue was about to continue shouting when Du Ling appeared again with a kitchen knife and the same carp in her hand.

“I told you to be obedient. I don’t know what kind of dirty thing you bumped into, so I have no choice but to kill you now and use you to make soup.” Then, Du Ling raised her hand and ended the carp’s life.

“Do you want to drink the fish soup together?” Du Ling’s hand was covered in fish blood as she walked around in front of Tang Yingxue.

Tang Yingxue was scared out of her wits as she staggered away.

“To deal with a sl*t, you have to use special methods to intervene. The most important thing is that you can’t get angry.” Du Ling washed her hands as she imparted her experience to Du Jiuyuan.

Du Jiuyuan nodded, right as a special ringtone sounded. It was the unique ringtone that she had set for Ji Jingchen.

Previously, she had always looked forward to hearing that ringtone, but now she felt that it was ear-piercing.

“Tang Yingxue went to the apartment?” Ji Jingchen immediately questioned Du Jiuyuan upon answering the phone.

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Could it be that Tang Yingxue had immediately complained about this incident to Ji Jingchen upon leaving?

“Did she hurt you in any way? If you wish, I’ll get someone to stop her.” It seemed like Ji Jingchen would definitely be scolding Tang Yingxue right after he hung up the phone later. This sudden change of attitude made Du Jiuyuan feel somewhat at a loss.

Du Jiuyuan did not reply. The two of them just held the phone in silence. They began to compete to see who would speak first.

“Is it Jingchen? Come over for dinner tonight!” Du Ling shouted. She saw that Du Jiuyuan was just standing there in a daze. Du Jiuyuan held the phone in her hand without making a sound.

“Okay.” Ji Jingchen replied with one word and then hung up the phone, not giving Du Jiuyuan a chance to refuse.

“Auntie, what are you doing? I don’t want to see him.” Du Jiuyuan wouldn’t call back, neither could she stop Ji Jingchen from coming over.

“It’s useless to run away. Do you think you can get a divorce by hiding? Let him come. Auntie will test the waters for you..” Du Ling had a malicious smile on her face, and no one knew what plans she had in mind.
