The young man shook his head slightly. There was no use for him to go to the hospital with this illness. He could only wait for the medicine to take effect.

“I’ve encountered someone who isn’t feeling well, but I’ve already given him his medicine. Please wait for a moment. I’ll leave when he’s better.” Du Jiuyuan respected the young man’s wishes.

As expected, not long after, the young man’s pale face eased up slightly and his breathing gradually became smoother. Seeing this, Du Jiuyuan did not say anything else and got into the car to have Peter send her home. Too many things had happened today. Du Jiuyuan went home, took a bath, and slept until dawn.

The next day, she was about to drive to the studio when Jiang Cheng called her early in the morning and asked her to come to the Ji family home. Du Jiuyuan hesitated for a moment before agreeing to do so.

As soon as she entered the house, she felt the heavy atmosphere as usual, and the maids did not dare to speak. Ji Jingchen’s eyes were black and blue. He had not slept the whole night. He was still wearing the set of clothes that Du Jiuyuan had matched for him before the event, and his hair was a little messy.

Madam Ji was wearing her regular home clothes. She stared at the large dark circles under Ji Jingchen’s eyes and sat opposite him. Her face was pale as if she had fallen seriously ill.

“Why did you call me here?” Du Jiuyuan walked over and asked without even taking off her shoes.

Ji Jingchen glanced at her, and the destructive aura emanating from his body softened slightly. He pointed to the sofa next to him and gestured for her to sit down. Du Jiuyuan sat directly next to Ji Jingchen because the sofa on the other side was very close to Madam Ji.

Not long after, Tang Yingxue carried two heavy suitcases out of her room. No one went up to help her, just like when Du Jiuyuan left the Ji family home earlier.

Du Jiuyuan was a little puzzled and looked at Ji Jingchen. Ji Jingchen didn’t say anything. He merely glanced at Jiang Cheng, who was standing at the side.

Jiang Cheng instantly understood and said calmly, “At three o’clock in the morning, Captain Gu managed to get the culprit talking and found out that someone was behind all of this. We also found out that all of the hotel’s waiters had received an additional 50,000 yuan in their accounts. One of them even had an additional 200,000 yuan in her account. This money was transferred directly from Madam Ji’s account.”

Jiang Cheng deliberately enunciated every word clearly. With every word he said, Madam Ji’s expression became even more unsightly. This wasn’t because Ji Jingchen had found out about her crime, but because he had spoken about it openly.

Madam Ji had countless reasons to harm Du Jiuyuan, the resentful child who had caused the Ji family to lose face. She wasn’t afraid of being found out. She originally thought that even if Ji Jingchen found out, he would not reveal it. After all, she was his stepmother, and Du Jiuyuan was just a sl*t!

Du Jiuyuan was not surprised after hearing Jiang Cheng’s words. She had already guessed that these two people were behind it. After all, she had just provoked the arrogant Madam Ji a few days ago.

Tang Yingxue pushed her bags over. Her eyes were already swollen from crying, and she looked at Madam Ji pitifully. Madam Ji couldn’t stand Tang Yingxue looking like that. She looked at Ji Jingchen as if she wanted to say something, but before she could open her mouth, Ji Jingchen’s unyielding voice slowly sounded, “Today, either she leaves the Ji family, or you’ll be the one leaving instead. Make your choice!”

“Ji Jingchen, I’m your stepmother. You want to chase me away for the sake of a woman who embarrassed you and made the Ji family the laughingstock of Hong Kong City?” Madam Ji stood up angrily.

“Since you have already said that you are just my stepmother, are you going to break ties with your stepson for the sake of a woman from an unknown origin?” Ji Jingchen asked in return.

Du Jiuyuan did not know if she hallucinating, but she felt that Ji Jingchen’s words had a hidden meaning behind them. Combined with Madam Ji’s attitude toward Tang Yingxue, she seemed to have discovered some extraordinary secret.

Madam Ji was instantly rendered speechless by Ji Jingchen’s question. She could not refute him, so she could only grit her teeth and say, “Yingxue, get out and live elsewhere for some time.”

Tang Yingxue still wanted to say something to plead for herself, but Madam Ji shook her head.

Things had already come to this point. Ji Jingchen had asked her to choose either Tang Yingxue or herself to move out of the Ji family. This was already a very light punishment. If this continued, it wouldn’t be of any benefit to the two of them.

Tang Yingxue didn’t say anything else. The previous incident involving the 100,000-yuan dress had already made Madam Ji unhappy. Although it was Madam Ji’s idea to make Tang Yingxue take the blame this time.. It could be said that the two of them had offset each other, and Tang Yingxue could only endure this.
