nDu Jiuyuan didn’t have the habit of picking up an unfamiliar number, so she rejected the call once more. However, she did not expect the other party to still continue calling her. Du Jiuyuan picked up the call and pressed the recording button without speaking first.

n

n“Du Jiuyuan, do you still remember me?” A female voice sounded. Du Jiuyuan felt that it sounded very familiar, but she couldn’t recall it no matter how hard she tried.

n

n“You are?” Since the other party could accurately call her name, it could not possibly be a wrong number.

n

n“Ji Jingchen is not someone you can have. Leave him!”

n

n“Oh!” Du Jiuyuan hung up and added this number to the blacklist.

n

nSuch mocking calls in the middle of the night were common. Du Jiuyuan had been too busy recently and forgot about this.

n

n“What bad luck! I don’t know why so many people adore this annoying man!” Ji Jingchen had just come up when he heard Du Jiuyuan say this.

n

nHe thought that she was jealous and ignored her. It was currently work time in the United States, so he had a video conference to attend.

n

nHis stomach was empty and it felt very uncomfortable.

n

n“Du Jiuyuan, go ask the servants to get me something to eat. I have a meeting soon.” Ji Jingchen’s stomach was really uncomfortable.

n

n“Okay.” Du Jiuyuan originally wanted to refuse, but when she thought of the “large banquet” his aunt had arranged for him, her heart softened.

n

nThe Ji family’s kitchen had the freshest ingredients every day. Du Jiuyuan did not trouble want to others. After all, the servants would never lend her a hand anyway.

n

n“Young Madam, do you have any orders?” Uncle Fu went up to her with a fawning expression.

n

nDu Jiuyuan shook her head. She really hated these people who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

n

nIn the past, when she was in the Ji family, these servants would ignore her.

n

nOpening the fridge, Du Jiuyuan took out some pork ribs, Chinese yam and millet, ready to make porridge for Ji Jingchen.

n

nUncle Fu personally went over and peeled the Chinese yam, then left as if nothing had happened.

n

nTwenty minutes later, the millet porridge and pork ribs Chinese yam were ready. “Uncle Fu, I’ll have to trouble you to take these upstairs for me.” Du Jiuyuan didn’t move and called for him.

n

n“What trouble? It’s no trouble. Young Madam, let me do it.” Uncle Fu did not call for help either. He personally carried the porridge up to Ji Jingchen.

n

nDu Jiuyuan cleaned up the kitchen and slowly went upstairs. Halfway there, the front door opened. Madam Ji and Tang Yingxue entered.

n

n“How dare you come back here?” Tang Yingxue saw Du Jiuyuan and thought of the two slaps she had received from Du Ling.

n

n“Whether I come back or not, it is none of your business” In the past few years, Du Jiuyuan had restrained her temper and continued to tolerate all abuses. It was all for the sake of Ji Jingchen.

n

nNow that she was prepared to leave Ji Jingchen, how could she tolerate this outsider?

n

nMadam Ji was ignited by Du Jiuyuan’s unyielding attitude. “Du Jiuyuan, you went back on your word. Divorce is your trick, right? Tell me, what drug did you give Jingchen?” Madam Ji could not understand why Ji Jingchen had changed so much in his treatment of Du Jiuyuan.

n

n“If you’re so capable, ask him to divorce me. Stop him from pestering me.” Du Jiuyuan found the entire situation funny. She stood in the middle of the stairs, her eyes full of ridicule.

n

n“Du Jiuyuan, even if Brother Jingchen made you his wife, you can’t be so arrogant! Auntie is your mother-in-law after all. You’ve gone too far.” All of a sudden, Tang Yingxue softened her tone. It turned out that Uncle Fu had come down.

n

nHe lowered his presence and went down the stairs.

n

nDu Jiuyuan was expressionless. “Are you done? I’d like to go upstairs and rest.”

n

n“People who grow up in the remote countryside are uneducated. Our Ji family has been very unlucky to have a daughter-in-law like you…” Madam Ji revealed her true colors and scolded Du Jiuyuan.

n

nIf this had happened before, Du Jiuyuan would usually listen quietly and not care at all. But, now that she had made up her mind to live for herself, how could she endure this kind of ridicule?

n

n“Ha, if you have the ability, then ask Ji Jingchen to divorce me then. I’m the unlucky one to have married into your Ji family.” Du Jiuyuan had seen and learned a lot about how to anger people.

n

n“Get a divorce then…” Madam Ji was interrupted before she could finish her sentence.

n

n“I’m not going to divorce her. If you mention this word again, then you can take your sweet little adopted daughter and leave the Ji family together.” This time, Ji Jingchen did not only want Tang Yingxue to leave, but also Madam Ji.

n

nHis tolerance toward her had reached the limit.

n

nMadam Ji and Tang Yingxue had a common problem, and that was they were both afraid of Ji Jingchen.

n

nTang Yingxue loved and feared him, but Madam Ji did not dare to resist him.

n

n“Brother Jingchen, she was the one who disrespected auntie first.” Tang Yingxue refused to give up and insisted on speaking in a sweet voice.

n

n“Put away your pretentious act. It’s disgusting.” This time, Ji Jingchen didn’t ignore Tang Yingxue, but directly pointed it out.

n

n“Brother Jingchen…” Tang Yingxue was pulled away by Madam Ji and the two returned to their room.

n

nDu Jiuyuan slowly went upstairs. This farce had really tired her out.

n

n“I don’t mean to order you around.. I just have a stomach ache,” Ji Jingchen explained, following closely behind Du Jiuyuan.
