Ji Huai flew into a rage, "Why do you have to pick on Xiao Yun?!"

Ren Anjing made no attempt to hide her disgust, "Just because she is Ye Jianjia's daughter, and even more so because she will become a stumbling block for Han Chen!"

"Ji Hanchen is to be the head of the Ji family; he can't just think about personal matters all day long."

Ji Huai felt that his wife was simply unreasonable!

He sighed deeply, "You're too controlling. From a young age, you've forced Lao Jiu to live according to your demands. You never consider whether Lao Jiu is willing or not, or whether Lao Jiu is happy or not. What mother is as cold-hearted as you?!"

Ren Anjing didn't care.

It's better to be cold and ruthless than to spoil Yao Xueying. Yao Xueying pampered Ji Lun and indulged him, but didn't she just ruin him?

If you're born into a wealthy family, don't even think about being an ordinary person; you're destined to live in a world of struggle.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Her children can eat, drink, and play like Yao Xueying's children, but once they get caught up in the power struggle within the wealthy family, can Ji Lun outmaneuver Ji Hanchen?

Obviously not.

What she taught Ji Hanchen was the ability to survive in the brutal struggle.

Ren Anjing didn't think she had done anything wrong.

Ji Huaitai understands Ren Anjing's personality: domineering, assertive, stubborn, and uncompromising.

With Lao Jiu in trouble, he could also fall at any time, and someone has to inherit the Ji family business.

However, Xiaoyun's engagement to Lao Jiu cannot be cancelled.

Ji Hanchen remained unconscious all night and did not wake up the next day.

Xu Qingyun sat on the bench, drowsy but still maintaining an elegant posture.

Hearing the crisp sound of high heels, Xu Qingyun instantly snapped back to reality.

It was Ren Anjing who arrived.

Ren Anjing didn't come alone; her assistant was with her.

Upon seeing them, Fang Qing immediately walked over and nodded professionally, "President Ren."

Then, she glanced at Fang Nuo and said, "Brother."

Ren Anjing hummed in agreement and walked toward Xu Qingyun with a strong sense of pressure.

"Didn't you leave? Why are you still here?!"

"I'm going to take care of something."

Xu Qingyun returned here after Shen Luo and the others left last night.

Ren Anjing sneered, "Since you don't want to stay here so much, there's no need to put on an act."

Xu Qingyun frowned.

She and Ren Anjing were never compatible, so anything she said would be superfluous.

However, when she got back last night, she overheard Fang Qing talking to Fang Nuo on the phone.

"Brother, please help me. I like President Ji. As long as I can get past President Ren, I'll have a way to marry President Ji. Xu Qingyun? I've already driven her away."

Xu Qingyun thought about it. She didn't want to cause trouble, but Fang Qing had indeed made her feel uncomfortable yesterday.

Ren Anjing's questioning just now was clearly because of Fang Qing.

"According to Secretary Fang, Ms. Ren is grooming Secretary Fang to be Ji Hanchen's wife?"

Ren Anjing immediately narrowed her eyes and looked at Fang Qing.

Fang Qing was also shocked, never expecting Xu Qingyun to ask such a question in front of Ren Anjing.

"Mr. Ren, I..."

"Secretary Fang, I hope you have the self-awareness that you are not a suitable candidate for Ji Hanchen's wife." Ren Anjing was very impolite.

Fang Qing's face turned pale and then red, as if she had been slapped hard, leaving a burning sensation.

Embarrassment made her purse her lips tightly, and after only two seconds of silence, she immediately swallowed her humiliation and said, "I'm sorry, President Ren, I shouldn't have coveted President Ji."

Ren Anjing: "It's good that you know."

She wasn't worried about Fang Qing because she posed no threat.

But Xu Qingyun was different; her son was too infatuated with this girl.

"Miss Xu, please leave. I'll be here during the day."

Ren Anjing didn't want to see Xu Qingyun.

Xu Qingyun pursed her lips, glanced at Ji Hanchen again, and then left.

Fang Qing thought for a moment and couldn't help but speak up: "President Ren, I may be impolite to say this, but Miss Xu doesn't seem to like President Ji, at least I can't sense it."

Ren Anjing pinched the bridge of her nose. "Mind your own business."

Then, she looked through the glass at Ji Hanchen in the intensive care unit.

When will I wake up? Will I even be able to wake up?

**

Ji Hanchen's car accident did not cause a stir online; all the news was suppressed.

The fate of a top-tier heir to a wealthy family remains uncertain; any news of this would inevitably cause stock market volatility.

The Lu family owns the largest media outlet in China. With Lu Chuan keeping things under control, this matter won't spread.

However, this matter still came to the attention of some people.

Xu Jia happened to be at the scene of the car accident, and she stopped her car to watch the commotion with Li Nannan.

She saw Ji Hanchen's car and followed it all the way to the hospital.

She thought that if Ji Hanchen suffered amnesia, she could openly stay by his side, tell him that they had slept together and then get married.

Unexpectedly, Ji Hanchen was seriously injured and became a vegetable.

"Mom, I have to return the jade pendant! Ji Hanchen is in a vegetative state, and I don't want to marry someone in a vegetative state."

Liang Wanrou glared angrily at her daughter, "Can't you calm down? You keep threatening to return the jade pendant. What if he wakes up?"

Xu Jia pouted, "I heard it with my own ears, and it's very likely I'll never wake up."

"Shut up!" Liang Wanrou shouted angrily. This marriage contract was never Xu Jia's to begin with.

Xu Qingyun doesn't know yet. Once she does, her daughter will be completely out of the picture.

Liang Wanrou was restless, and she didn't know why.

She went to the Buddhist hall, lit three incense sticks, and then knelt down to worship Buddha.

A rattling sound came from behind the shrine, clearly the sound of chains being moved.

Liang Wanrou's eyes narrowed instantly, and she warned in a low voice, "Don't force me to lay a hand on her."
