Ji Wan thought Zhou Zechuan was a light in her life. She willingly hid her brilliance and entered into a secret marriage with him for two years, content to be his kept woman. However, she didn'...
Chapter 355 There is a Feud
Just as she was daydreaming, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was Xia Guoguo calling.
"Sister Wan, stop sending messages. I'll come to your room and talk directly." Xia Guoguo's voice was filled with anxiety.
A few minutes later, Xia Guoguo knocked on Ji Wan's door.
"Sister Wan, something happened." Xia Guoguo said anxiously as soon as she entered the room, "He Wanqing spread rumors about you and Hua Junyi everywhere in the hotel, saying that you had originally planned to meet up, but you thought his skills were not good enough, so you temporarily replaced him with Chi Wenyan."
Ji Wan was shaking with anger. "How could she confuse right and wrong like this? It was clearly Hua Junyi who touched me."
"Not only that," Xia Guoguo continued, "she also implied that there was an improper relationship between you and Hua Junyi, saying that you beat him because he refused some of your requests."
"This is ridiculous." Ji Wan was furious. "Why is she targeting me like this? I don't know her at all and have never offended her."
Xia Guoguo hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "Sister Wan, you really don't know He Wanqing? I heard that she and you seem to have some grudges."
Ji Wan frowned, "Celebrate a festival? What festival?"
"I don't know the details, but I heard the hotel staff chatting and they said that your two families seem to have some historical grievances." Xia Guoguo explained.
Ji Wan was stunned, thinking carefully about the name He Wanqing. Suddenly, a long-lost memory came to mind.
"Wait, He Wanqing, the He family..." Ji Wan's eyes widened, "Could she be He Fenfen's daughter?"
"He Fenfen? Who is she?" Xia Guoguo was confused.
Ji Wan was silent for a moment, his expression gradually becoming complicated. "Sit down, I'll tell you a story."
Xia Guoguo sat curiously on the edge of the bed, waiting for Ji Wan to speak.
"My mother had a close friend when she was young, He Fenfen." Ji Wan's voice was low and calm. "My mother had just divorced at the time, and life was very difficult for my brother and me. He Fenfen took the initiative to invite us to live with her, saying that she would help my mother through her difficult times."
"He sounds like a good person." Xia Guoguo said.
Ji Wan sneered, "On the surface, yes. In reality, she's been interested in my stepfather for a long time. Less than half a year after we moved in, she seduced him, and the two of them started a secret relationship."
"Oh my God." Xia Guoguo covered her mouth in surprise.
"What's even more terrifying is that she not only snatched my stepfather away, but also tricked my mother into signing a transfer agreement, transferring the clothing store that my mother had worked so hard to run to her name."
Ji Wan's voice was filled with suppressed anger, and he became more and more angry as he spoke. "My mother lost her lover and career overnight and almost collapsed."
"This is too vicious." Xia Guoguo said indignantly.
Ji Wan nodded. "My mother later developed mental problems and almost committed suicide. My brother found her in time and saved her. Since then, my mother no longer trusted anyone and never made friends again."
"Then He Wanqing is..."
"He Wanqing should be He Fenfen's daughter." Ji Wan's expression became serious. "If that's the case, it makes sense that she would target me. She might be seeking revenge for her mother."
Xia Guoguo looked at Ji Wan in shock. "Sister Wan, this is terrible. Why would she want to retaliate against you? It was clearly her mother who did the wrong thing."
"Hatred is irrational." Ji Wan said with a wry smile, "In her eyes, it might be that my mother took away the life that should have belonged to her mother."
The two fell silent, and the atmosphere in the room became solemn.
"However, I still need to confirm whether she is really He Fenfen's daughter." Ji Wan said thoughtfully, "After all, He is not a rare surname."
Xia Guoguo took out her phone and said, "I can check it for you."
As the two were discussing, Ji Wan's phone suddenly rang. She took a look and saw it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?" Ji Wan answered the phone cautiously.
"Hello, are you Ms. Ji Wan?" asked a strange male voice.
"I am, who are you?"
"I'm from Yucheng Central Hospital," the male voice continued. "A Mr. Hua Junyi is being treated at our hospital. He has your contact information in his personal belongings. We'd like to inform you that his condition is not good and he may need a second surgery."
Ji Wan's heart tightened. "I understand. But Mr. Hua and I are not familiar with each other. It may be that this contact information was left behind due to work relationship."
"Oh, is that so." The other party seemed a little disappointed. "Sorry to bother you then."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Wan's hands trembled slightly. "It's from the hospital. They said Hua Junyi might need a second surgery."
"That's a really serious injury." Xia Guoguo said worriedly, "Sister Wan, did you really just kick him?"
Ji Wan recalled the scene and said uncertainly, "I remember only kicking once, but I was too nervous at the time and probably couldn't control my strength well."
"How about we go to the hospital?" Xia Guoguo suggested, "At least we can show our concern and maybe alleviate some misunderstandings."
Ji Wan hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "It's too risky to go to the hospital now. Someone from the Hua family must be there."
If she goes, she will be in danger.
As he was speaking, Ji Wan's mind suddenly flashed back to the scene of Ye Yang organizing a double surfing competition.
Everything that happened that day replayed before my eyes like a movie.
At that time, Hua Junyi harassed her, she fought back and fled back to the competition venue, she was embarrassed when she asked Chi Wenyan to be her partner but was rejected, she was surprised when Chi Wenyan changed his mind, and the final game was exciting.
"When Hua Junyi attacked me, I was really scared," Ji Wan recalled. "I didn't expect a kick would hurt him so badly."
Xia Guoguo comforted her, "It's not your fault. He was the one who harassed you first."
Ji Wan remembered Fu Qichuan's previous concerns and guessed that Ji Wan might face legal consequences.
If the Hua family really pursues the matter, how can she prove her innocence?
After all, she has no evidence at the moment.
"I'm not just worried about the legal issues," Ji Wan sighed. "If this gets out of hand, my situation at the company will be very awkward. After all, the Hua family is a big family in Yucheng, and the company can't afford to offend them for my sake."
Just then, Xia Guoguo's phone rang. She glanced at it and her expression suddenly changed. "It's Mr. Fu."
She quickly answered the phone, and after listening to a few words, her expression grew increasingly serious. After hanging up, she looked at Ji Wan, "Boss Fu said that the Hua family has begun investigating everyone involved in the event, especially the women who had contact with Hua Junyi. They suspect that a woman who was harassed by Hua Junyi is taking revenge on him."
Ji Wan felt dizzy. "Do they have any clues pointing to me?"
Xia Guoguo shook her head. "Not yet, but Mr. Fu suggests that you stay in the hotel and don't go out easily."
