Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Why would I want a divorce?” Ji Jinchen took a sip of water and asked.
“Of course you should get a divorce. Du Jiuyuan’s background is not good enough for you, and she can’t compete with those two from your family,” Lu Ziang, who was dressed in red, interrupted.
Lu Ziang was a popular male celebrity in Hong Kong’s entertainment circle. His fans were not limited to age. From seven or eight-year-old children to seventy or eighty-year-old people, he had fans from all walks of life, including the daughters and socialites of the upper class.
“Actually, she’s a fighter.” Ji Jingchen drained the water in his glass. It was clear water, but he felt like he was drinking a strong shot of alcohol.
Du Jiuyuan grew up in the mountains with her grandfather. She was definitely not comparable to those greenhouse flowers.
Wine does not make one drunk. No, no, no. Water does not make one drunk.
Jiang Cheng did not dare to touch Du Jiuyuan. He just followed behind her. Du Jiuyuan did not want to be controlled, so she wandered aimlessly inside the bar. This bar was very different from the one she went to on Lili’s birthday. Indeed, the world of the rich was much better than that of ordinary people.
“Sister Jiuyuan, do you know that Brother Jingchen has come to the bar tonight?” An extremely discordant voice sounded. Li Ruyan and saw that Du Jiuyuan deliberately came to find trouble with her.
Du Jiuyuan was tired. Since she had made up her mind to divorce Ji Jingchen, no matter what Li Ruyan said, it meant nothing to her.
Moreover, even if Ji Jingchen divorced her, he would definitely not marry Li Ruyan. After being his wife for five years, this matter was abundantly clear.
“You are Du Jiuyuan? Are you out looking for a new husband?” The person beside Li Ruyan was called Lin Rumo. She was a typical brainless person.
In the past few years in the Ji family, Li Ruyan had done many bad things to her under the guise of someone else’s name.
Du Jiuyuan wasn’t willing to argue with them. She turned around to look for Jiang Cheng, but she couldn’t find him. She did not rush away earlier, so why was Jiang Cheng gone, all of a sudden?
“Watch your mouth. Ji Jingchen is the one who won’t sign the divorce papers.” Du Jiuyuan had never been a person who was at the mercy of others. She was under the roof of the Ji family and wanted to be Ji Jingchen’s wife, so she did not resist at all.
“Who knows what tricks you used? Ruyan is a hundred or a thousand times better than you. Ji Jingchen is really blind.” Lin Rumo was wearing heavy makeup. It was obvious that she was a veteran in the bar.
Du Jiuyuan was just about to argue when a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
“Then you have to open your eyes and see if I’m really blind or not.” When Jiang Cheng saw Li Ruyan, he went back to look for Ji Jingchen. It wasn’t that he wanted to create an opportunity for Jingchen to save the damsel in distress, but Li Ruyan’s identity was special,?thus he felt that Ji Jingchen had to teach her a lesson personally.
Seeing Jingchen right in front of her, Lin Rumo was stunned on the spot. She had never expected Ji Jingchen to be here at this moment. Neither had she had expected him to protect this woman so much.
Li Ruyan was very happy. “Brother Jingchen!” After all, she was not the one who had said those words just now, but Lin Rumo. She had used this trick many times and had already gotten used to it.
Ji Jingchen completely ignored Li Ruyan. His gaze fell on Lin Rumo’s face, and he said in an imposing manner, “I was blind to marry her. Can’t the same be said about you? Or has the Lin family been too peaceful recently?”
Ji Jingchen was just like that. He was always involved in big benefits, the kind that would help his family increase their status and reputation. The Lin family was also quite famous in Hong Kong city, but compared to the Ji Corporation, it was nothing.
“CEO Ji, please don’t take it out on the Lin family. It’s not worth it to quarrel with the Lin family over such a woman. You should know that the Lin family is not to be trifled with,” Lin Rumo said.
If she admitted her mistake, Ji Jingchen might have actually let the Lin family off the hook. Du Jiuyuan thought to herself.
“The Lin family is not worthy, and you are even more unworthy. Go back and tell your father to meet Mrs. Ji personally. I want the both of you to apologize to Mrs. Ji. Otherwise, be prepared to bear the consequences.” After Ji Jinchen said that, he pulled Du Jiuyuan’s hand and walked out.
“Brother Jingchen...” Li Ruyan shouted, unwilling to give up.
Unfortunately, the three of them continued to walk away. Ji Jingchen pulled Du Jiuyuan and walked in front, while Jiang Cheng followed behind them.
At the hotel.
Ji Jingchen had not left since he sent Du Jiuyuan over. He sat on the sofa and looked at Du Jiuyuan. Du Jiuyuan completely ignored him. She hung up her clothes, poured herself a glass of water, and prepared to enter the bathroom.
“Du Jiuyuan.”Ji Jingchen saw that she had no intention of talking to him, so he called her name.
“What’s the matter?” Du Jiuyuan turned her head out of politeness, but her tone was very cold.
“Du Jiuyuan, do you have to talk to me like this?” Her silent attitude made Ji Jingchen feel very depressed. He realized that he had already lost her.
“Then, what about the way you talk to me? Ji Jingchen, have you ever respected me? Or do you only treat me as your subordinate who has to obey all your orders?” Du Jiuyuan asked calmly. She was now like a doll without any emotions.. He could not understand her at all.
