After Divorcing, She Became An Absolute Beauty Chapter 24

This was why no matter how Madam Ji tried to fix the two of them up, it resulted in failure.

“Our Yuanyuan is an outsider to her. Who knows how much she has been bullied. Today, I want to set things right for her. If you don’t deal with this little minx, Yuanyuan won’t hold a wedding with you, and she won’t go back to the Ji family.” Du Ling held a large banquet today for a couple of reasons. Firstly, she wanted to teach Ji Jingchen a lesson, and secondly, she wanted to buy some time for Du Jiuyuan.

It would be best if she could drag it out until Grandmother Ji came back. That way, Du Jiuyuan would have a chance of getting a divorce.

Du Ling had different thoughts from most of the elders. The idea of sacrificing everything else for the sake of one goal did not appeal to her. She only wanted to make her Yuanyuan happy.

Du Jiuyuan glanced at her aunt. She had touched Ji Jingchen’s sore spot. He hated being threatened the most.

“Got it.” However, Ji Jingchen merely replied calmly to Du Ling. He did not look angry at all.

“Okay, as long as you understand, we’re good. It’s getting late. Go back and rest early!” Du Ling smiled and ordered him to leave.

She had achieved her goal for the day.

Ji Jingchen got up and was about to leave, but his stomach churned. He went to the washroom. Jiang Cheng hurriedly followed him.

At that moment, the doorbell rang, accompanied by a few loud knocks on the door. Du Jiuyuan moved closer to the door and opened it.

Old Madam Ji had come. Once she saw that it was Du Jiuyuan who opened the door, she gave her a hard shove. Du Jiuyuan was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

Du Ling was the first to react. She charged forward and gave Old Madam Ji two slaps. Then, she went to help Du Jiuyuan up.

Tang Yingxue followed behind Old Madam Ji. Her eyes were red and it was obvious that she had cried.

Du Jiuyuan wanted to say something, but Du Ling sent her back inside. Then, she came out and walked in front of Tang Yingxue. She gave the girl two slaps as well.

“You… you imbecile! You’re but a small fly, how dare you hit me!” Tang Yingxue was about to pounce on Du Ling but was stopped by Old Madam Ji.

Old Madam Ji had noticed two pairs of men’s leather shoes at the door. She rubbed her face with one hand and her brain worked quickly. Could Ji Jingchen be here?

Tang Yingxue followed Madam Ji’s gaze and also saw the men’s leather shoes.

However, her brain was not as fast as Madam Ji’s. She sneered.

“Du Jiuyuan, you’re a promiscuous woman. You’re hanging on to my Brother Jingchen while sleeping with other men. Your aunt isn’t a good person either. She’s helping you with your infidelity!” Tang Yingxue was struck dumb and spoke without restraint.

This was how she spoke to Du Jiuyuan when Ji Jingchen wasn’t around.

“It seems that I must now inform Grandmother to expel you from the Ji family.” Although Ji Jingchen went to the bathroom, he could hear the voices outside clearly.

He almost vomited out everything that had entered his stomach. He washed his face and forced himself to come out.

After all, Tang Yingxue was adopted by Old Madam Ji through formal procedures. If she wanted to be completely disposed of, they would have to go through the grandmother of the Ji family.

“Brother Jingchen, that woman hit me!” Tang Yingxue turned pale with fright when she saw that the man in Du Jiuyuan’s house was Ji Jingchen. She habitually acted coquettishly with him.

Ji Jingchen ignored her and instead searched for Du Jiuyuan. Du Ling sighed, pointed to the room. Ji Jingchen pushed the door open and entered.

Du Jiuyuan already felt that she had been wronged. Now that she had an outlet for her feelings, she felt even more wrong.

She quietly wiped her tears, her face burning with pain.

Ji Jingchen came in and immediately carried her in his arms, preparing to go to the hospital.

“What are you doing? Put me down! Your family bullied me, so did you!” Du Jiuyuan burst into tears as if she was going to cry out all the wrongs she had suffered over the past few years.

“Let’s go to the hospital.” Ji Jingchen said while he ignored the resistance from Du Jiuyuan and carried her out of the door.

“Jingchen, I…” Old Madam Ji covered the left side of her face. She was trying to explain, but she wanted to show Ji Jingchen that she had been beaten up too.

1

“Jingchen, leave this to me. Just take care of Yuanyuan,” Du Ling interrupted Old Madam Ji. She could handle these two alone.

1

Ji Jingchen left Jiang Cheng behind and took Du Jiuyuan to the hospital.

When they arrived, Ji Jingchen was the first to fall. He really could not eat spicy food at all, and his irregular diet all year round caused his stomach to be very weak.

1

Because Ji Jingchen was carrying Du Jiuyuan, she also fell to the ground.

1

The nurses on the first floor hurriedly carried Ji Jingchen onto a stretcher and sent him to the emergency room.

Du Jiuyuan was also given some medicine. Her face did not hurt much, but it was swollen badly.

“It isn’t a serious problem, Ji Jingchen’s stomach will be fine in a while..” The doctor informed Du Jiuyuan.
