Ji Mingjing reminded her, "You are just an outsider. The key is that the Yan family is not an impenetrable fortress."

Shangguan Wu's delicate brows furrowed slightly: "You're right, the second branch of the Yan family is still dreaming of a marriage alliance with the Ji family. Alright, I'll make a call to Rou Rou first, goodbye."

Ji Mingjing: "..."

Could he say that Shangguan Wu's "use and discard" attitude is exactly like the shameless Gu Si?

Unfortunately, Shangguan Wu was unaware of his thoughts. Even if she had known, she would have only asked him: "Haven't you heard of a wife following her husband's lead?"

Shangguan Wu called Yan Yirou and said, "Ji Xianli's parents have come to the capital. There's a 90% chance they'll go to the Yan family to coerce and bribe them into withdrawing the police report. Remember to remind your aunt that if it's hard to refuse, just close the door to visitors."

Yan Yirou was taken aback for a moment, then said solemnly, "Okay, I understand. I'll tell my mom right away."

Shangguan Wu hung up the phone, turned over, and went back to sleep.

Yan Yirou immediately called home.

“Mom, if Ji Xianli’s parents come to our house to persuade you to drop the report, you must not agree. If they try to coerce or bribe you, think about Dad’s leg. Dad is so old and still has to suffer like this. If the bullet had gone slightly astray, you would be a widow. It’s all thanks to Ji Xianli.”

Gu Chenye on the hospital bed: "..."

She may say one thing, but why did she twist his arm?

Madam Yan on the other end of the phone: "..."

If the bullet had been slightly off-target, it probably wouldn't have hit my husband's leg.

Yan Yirou twisted hard, but felt no pain at all. She looked down and saw that she had twisted Gu Chenye's hand.

That's awkward.

She stared at Gu Chenye for three seconds, then silently turned her face away, and said in a high-pitched voice, "And me too! I almost didn't see the sun this morning, sob sob sob. If your son-in-law hadn't come back, you would have been waiting for the white-haired to bury the black-haired, waaaaah..."

Gu Chenye: "..."

Is this what those guys always say, "Women's words are deceitful"?

Even though there wasn't a single tear, her voice sounded like she was crying.

Madam Yan on the other end of the phone was heartbroken. If her husband hadn't needed someone to take care of him, she would have gone to the hospital to see her daughter.

"Sweetie, Rou Rou, don't cry. Mommy promises you, I will never see anyone from the Ji family. Ji Xianli dared to treat you like this, he must go to jail!"

"Mmm, thank you, Mom."

"Rou Rou, I'll come to see you in the hospital when your dad is feeling better."

"Mom, I'm not hurt. It's Gu Chenye who's injured. I'm taking care of him at the hospital."

"Oh, then Mom will come to the hospital to see him tomorrow to thank him for saving you."

"..."

Yan Yirou was completely bewildered. Wasn't she supposed to wait until her father was feeling better before coming to the hospital? How did it suddenly become tomorrow?

Wasn't she just an accident?

But isn't Ms. Yan going too far? Why is her status even lower than Gu Chenye's?
