At the hospital.

Ji Fuying was peeling fruit, but she seemed distracted. Should she hire a caregiver?

Although the two of them had that kind of relationship before, she now felt completely unfamiliar with Ji Yan.

Unfortunately, Han Xiao was also injured and hospitalized, leaving Ji Yan as the only person who could take care of her.

Normal care would be fine, but taking a bath or using the toilet is something she simply can't do.

Ji Yan leaned against the headboard, resting his chin on one hand, his gaze fixed on Ji Fuying, who looked conflicted.

What is she thinking?

Could it be that she doesn't want to take care of him and wants to ask someone else to do it for her?

"Um... Ji Yan, let me hire a caregiver for you." After hesitating for a long time, she cautiously probed.

"Hiss..." Ji Yan was so excited that he sat up abruptly, accidentally aggravating his wound. "What did you say?"

His eyes held a clear threat. This heartless woman, doesn't she even know who he was hurt for?

"I think it would be more convenient to hire a caregiver, and it's for your own good too."

"I'm not comfortable with strangers touching me, so... no."

"Then you shouldn't take a shower or use the toilet."

Ji Fuying was also a little angry. Why be so arrogant? Would touching her cause a piece of flesh to fall off?

"Alright, I got hurt for you willingly, so I won't force you to take care of me. Go back and rest, I can take care of myself."

After saying that, he turned to look out the window, his back view appearing lonely and desolate.

This made Ji Fuying start to doubt herself. Was she too cruel?

After all, he got injured because of her. It wouldn't be right for her to just leave him at the hospital and go home by herself.

After much internal struggle, she decided to stay and take care of him.

There was nothing she could do; she owed someone her life.

......

Qingfeng Hall.

There was still a screen separating them.

The sound of shattering porcelain came from inside, along with a woman's angry shouts.

"He actually killed Xing Chu?"

“And Ye Sheng, he’s dead too,” Min Yue continued.

"Xing Chu really disappointed me. It would have been better if she had died, but she also caused Ye Sheng's death. She's really useless."

It's worth noting that she expended countless hours and resources to cultivate these four exceptionally talented individuals.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yan broke both of her arms in one go. As expected of the head of the Ji family, he is decisive in everything he does.

Right now, she only has two people left who she can use, but fortunately, these two people don't usually show up.

Very few people know about them, and it's not easy for Ji Yan to find out about them.

“Min Yue, you and Xing Su don’t contact me for now. I’ll contact you if I need anything.”

"Okay, Aunt Lan, then I'll go back to Country A."

Min Yue walked out of Qingfeng Hall listlessly, intending to head to Country A immediately.

Suddenly, a man with a cool and aloof demeanor appeared in front of her, looking at her with gentle eyes. "Min Yue, shall we talk?"

“Okay.” Min Yue nodded in agreement.

The two went to a nearby cafe and sat down facing each other.

The man's voice was slightly hoarse, "Going to Country A again?"

Min Yue picked up her coffee and took a sip. "Fu Zhengting, you called me over just to ask me this?"

Fu Zhengting gave a bitter smile, "Do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life?"

Spending your whole life as someone else's pawn, without any freedom.

You can't do the things you want to do, but you can't go against the rules of what you don't want to do.

Will she really be happy like this?

“I’m not like you. You have the right to choose, but I don’t.”

He was born into the Fu family, a powerful underworld family. Even though he was often overlooked, he was still the young master of the Fu family.

She was merely someone Aunt Lan bought from human traffickers; her identity was fake, her name was fake, and she would be a shadowy figure for the rest of her life.

"Have you never thought about breaking away from Aunt Lan and having your own life?"

“You and Aunt Lan are just partners, you can retreat at any time, but we are different.”

Once she escapes Aunt Lan's control, only death awaits her.

Isn't it better to live a wretched life than to die a miserable death?

“Perhaps…” Fu Zhengting hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Min Yue frowned. "Perhaps what?"

"It's nothing, have a safe journey." He still didn't dare to say those words, but simply raised his glass and clinked it against hers.

"Thank you, I'll be going now if there's nothing else." She put down her cup and left.

Fu Zhengting stared blankly at her retreating figure, unaware that this parting would last a lifetime.

......

At the hospital.

After a day and a night of getting used to each other, Ji Fuying had become accustomed to physical contact with Ji Yan.

I no longer have that urge to knock him away the moment I touch him.

At that moment, she was sitting on the sofa looking through the phone that Ji Yan had given her.

It contains videos and photos documenting Bu Yi's life from birth to the present.

"She's so small, and a bit wrinkled, not very pretty."

Ji Yan "..."

"He's grown up a bit and is starting to look cute."

"She can walk now. Look at her pretty little face, she looks a lot like me."

"Ji Yan, why can't I remember anything from the past even after watching so many videos and photos?"

Are these things not enough to move her?

"Don't worry, I'll tell you everything one by one."

"Hmph, you only say things that don't harm yourself, so I still have doubts about you."

"Yingying, it hurts me to hear you say that. Do you really think I'm that kind of person?"

Ji Fuying glanced at him. "Aren't you one?"

Xing Chu's affair was kept from her. If he hadn't taken matters into his own hands, she might have thought he still had feelings for that woman.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Once I'm healed, do you want to go back to Country A to see Buyi and her family?"

“I… there are still things I don’t understand. Xingchu is dead, but the people behind her are still here. I want to figure out whether she killed me on her own initiative or on the orders of the people behind her.”

Ji Yan sat up abruptly from the hospital bed. "Do you know who's behind her?"

She didn't lose her memory, so how would she know that Xing Chu had someone behind her?

Moreover, not many people know that Xing Chu is backed by Ji Lan.

How did she find out about this?

"I know, otherwise what would I be doing seeking revenge for?"

"Where did you get this information? Is it reliable?"

Ji Fuying pondered for a while before recounting how Jiang Yunshen rescued her from the sea.

Shao Yang and Shao Yu also recounted how they knew Xing Chu.

"So the person behind Xingchu is Jiang Longtian's wife... Jiang Lan."
