Chapter 120 Host, you are now a stranger...
Wen Han silently took a step back and closed the door.
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Kuo said coldly. "You don't think you can persuade me to change my mind by locking me up here, do you?"
There were no suitable tools in the dormitory. Rong Jun's barbell would work, but it was too heavy and could easily cause an accident.
"What exactly do you want?" Wen Han asked when she saw that Fei Nai'er had woken up. "Jing Yu has no grudge against you. Besides, offending the Jing family won't do you any good."
When Fei Nai'er saw a stranger enter the dormitory, she curiously took two steps closer and looked up at Jiang Kuo.
"Are you threatening me with the Jing family?"
"I'm doing this for your own good," Wen Han tried to persuade him further. "Even if you call the police, it might not be of any use. Besides, you have a stable job. Why take this risk?"
Jiang Kuo said, "What you said makes sense."
Wen Han was relieved to see how easily he had been persuaded, but then Jiang Kuo asked, "How much money are you willing to spend for that young boy?"
Wen Han asked incredulously, "You're actually blackmailing me?"
In the past, he was the one who took advantage of others, but today it was her turn. Wen Han gritted her teeth. No matter what, she had to stabilize Jiang Kuo first. It wouldn't be good if she let him go out and talk nonsense everywhere.
How much money do you want?
Five million.
"Five million!" Wen Han shouted. "How could a student like me possibly have that much money?"
“You can borrow it,” Jiang Kuo said. “Anyway, the Jing family isn’t short of money.”
Wen Han said, "Can I give you 200,000 first?"
He moved his finger, signaling Fat Nail to pounce on him.
Jiang Kuo stepped forward, blocking their view, and sneered, "Wen Han, has your love life ruined your brain?"
He placed his hand on Wen Han's shoulder, gently stroking it twice, but his tone was extremely contemptuous: "Two hundred thousand? Your family can't even earn two hundred thousand a year, right? And you're actually willing to obediently spend two hundred thousand to teach a rich young master? How come I never realized you were so stupid before?"
"Didn't you want money? You're still not satisfied even after I gave it to you." Wen Han thought he was out of his mind. "If you hadn't threatened me, I wouldn't have—"
Before he could finish speaking, Wen Han lunged at Jiang Kuo, trying to pin him to the ground, and shouted, "Fat Nai'er, come quick!"
The two people and the cat started fighting. Jiang Kuo was much taller than Wen Han, and the dormitory was small, so the fight was very limited.
Fat Nai pounced and bit Jiang Kuo's leg. Jiang Kuo cried out in pain and picked up the barbell from the Rongjun shelf next to him, intending to smash it on her.
Wen Han naturally rushed to grab it, and the two of them started vying for the barbell.
Suddenly, Jiang Kuo loosened his grip, and Wen Han fell backward, landing on his bottom with a pain that made him wince.
"Heh." Jiang Kuo took out his phone from his pocket and was about to dial a number when he suddenly felt a sharp pain and fainted.
Wen Han raised her head, and the bed curtains were pulled open, revealing Rong Jun's head.
"You can even use flying needles? That's amazing." Wen Han was glad that she hadn't offended Rong Jun before.
“He’s just temporarily unconscious,” Rong Jun said. “You should be thinking about what to do when he wakes up.”
Jing Yu is currently in the UK. After thinking for a moment, Wen Han called Chu Ji.
Fat Nai stepped on Jiang Kuo, and Wen Han paced anxiously back and forth in the dormitory.
“There’s no use in rushing,” Rong Jun said. “Bring a chair over and sit down to rest.”
Wen Han sighed, "How could I not be anxious?"
"What's the panic? Why is he only asking you for money and not going to your boyfriend's dad? Isn't he just a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong?"
With Chu Ji's arrival, Wen Han finally had someone to share the burden. Subconsciously, he felt that Chu Ji was smarter than him: "What should we do now?"
"Do you want him to suffer more, or are you planning to settle this privately?"
"ah?"
“If you want him to suffer more, then you can talk to Father, but then he probably won’t be able to be a doctor anymore,” Chu Ji said. “Or I can take him away and discuss it with him.”
If Jing Xu were to solve the problem, Jiang Kuo would probably end up at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Wen Han immediately said, "Let's choose the second one."
Seeing him fidgeting with his fingers, Chu Ji smiled and pulled him into her arms: "I thought it was something serious. What's there to be afraid of, hmm?"
Seeing the smile on his face, Wen Han comforted herself, thinking it wasn't a big deal.
Yeah, right.

That evening, Wen Han, who had been waiting for a message on her phone, finally received a message from Chu Ji.
Under Chu Ji's kind persuasion, Jiang Kuo sincerely realized that his behavior was wrong and that it was all just his wild guess. He would definitely forget about it.
Wen Han didn't know what methods Chu Ji used, and he hadn't seen Jiang Kuo at the hospital. He only heard from Dr. Wang that Jiang Kuo had been transferred to a remote area. He had been wondering about it, but he never expected that Dr. Jiang would be such a selfless person.
As for where they were transferred to, whether it was a small county or a remote mountain village, Wen Han didn't care. He breathed a sigh of relief, at least Jing Yu's matter wouldn't be revealed.
Chu Ji didn't rely on his own methods to get what he wanted. However, a month later, he finally arranged to meet Wen Han. Seeing that Wen Han was focused on eating hot pot, he casually remarked, "Father knows about you and Jing Yu."
Wen Han's hand trembled, and the beef fell into the dipping sauce, splashing the sauce directly onto her white clothes.
"What!" Wen Han was surprised at first. "When did he find out? No, if he knew, why didn't he do anything to me?"
I'm still studying at school and doing well.
Chu Ji took a sip of lemonade: "It's about Jiang Kuo's matter before. How could I possibly have such great abilities on my own?"
"That's impossible. I thought Jingxu would—"
Chu Ji quickly said, "You're just being unreasonable and trying to force us to break up. You're threatening me with my studies."
"Yes, yes, yes." Chu Ji really was the second worm in his stomach.
“I talked to my dad beforehand,” Chu Ji said with a smile. “When I went back to the Jing family, I found out what was wrong with my father, and now he’s not in the mood to mess with the kids anymore.”
It's Jing Xu's karma for having a son-in-law like Chu Ji. Wen Han was still basking in the joy that she and Jing Yu wouldn't be forced to break up. Chu Ji added, "But he definitely won't give up. He probably thinks you two might not last long and is waiting for you to break up."
Upon hearing this, Wen Han complained, "This Alpha is so petty."
Although Jing Feng and Chu Ji went back, they did not live with An Ning and Jing Xu in the old Jing family house. Instead, they moved to another house belonging to the Jing family.
Jing Zhao had been hoping her older brother would come back to help share the burden, but they couldn't stand the atmosphere at the Jing family's old house and ran away after less than two months. This caused Jing Zhao and Wen Han to complain at length about how he ran away instead of rescuing his sister from the fire.
Chu Ji said, "I don't know how Dad can stand it. The rules of the Jing family are really troublesome."
Wen Han recalled that An Ning's mentality seemed to be more like she had no other choice but to endure it for the sake of the child.
When he got back, he told Jingyu about it. Jingxu didn't cause any trouble for Jingyu, probably choosing to ignore it and pretend it never happened.
Thinking of this, Wen Han sighed and typed, "What can we do? He'll definitely still get angry in the future."
He has enough savings to buy a house, but how much can a newly employed doctor earn? Jingyu is studying to manage the family business, and if his father causes trouble, he will probably have to rely on Wen Han to support him for the time being, just like Jingfeng.
Wen Han suddenly felt a greater sense of responsibility on her shoulders.
Standing on the shoulders of predecessors, namely Jing Feng, Jing Yu learned from their mistakes and directly transferred the money to Wen Han's card.
Wen Han felt a brief moment of resentment towards the rich when she saw the amount in the bank card. Even if prices in the UK were higher than here, there was no need to transfer so much money!
When Jingyu told him that this was almost all the money, Wen Han immediately became worried: "No way, how will you eat if you don't have money? What if you get sick?"
Despite Jingyu's repeated assurances that he was fine and that he was currently investing, Wenhan still felt that Jingyu would be ruined by the British food.
The system silently went online and saw the entire chat history between the two.
"Host."
"Oh?" Wen Han asked with concern, "When did you get back? Did you have a good vacation?"
"Not bad." Although she almost got eaten by a fish while swimming, the system couldn't take it anymore and said, "Host, you're so unfamiliar to me now that I don't even recognize you!"
Wen Han asked in confusion, "Who upset you again?"
"If it were the original host, seeing you become like this... and actually feeling sorry for someone who can go abroad to study, they would definitely be so angry they would beat you to death!"
“Nonsense, I never had such a bad temper before, nor did I resent the rich that much,” Wen Han frowned. “You must have made it up in your head; it’s too exaggerated.”
System: "...Would you like me to play a video for you?"
Wen Han felt guilty and refused.
——
Liu Chuanze was halfway through high school when Gu Zong decided to send him abroad to study.
He invited Wen Han to the farewell party. When Wen Han thought about how the little boy who stood up for her on the subway and gave her a coin was now going abroad, she felt a little sad lying in bed and really felt old.
Thinking about the mess he made in order to deal with Gu Cheng, he felt he had really let down Liu Ruyan and Liu Chuanze. Maybe they would have had a better life. Gu Zong was heartless; who could possibly deal with him?
Carrying gifts, Wen Han arrived at the Gu family home, which she hadn't visited in a long time.
The old butler was no longer there to greet the guests. It was estimated that he would be fired by Gu Zong as soon as Gu Yuan entered. It was unknown whether Gu Zong would spare him out of consideration for their decades of service.
"Wen Han!" Liu Chuanze was restless from early morning, frequently glancing towards the gate.
Liu Ruyan is still as beautiful as before, it's only been a few years. But Liu Chuanze has changed drastically, you can't tell at all that he used to have a bit of baby fat.
Wen Han was utterly startled by his appearance: "You...how did you grow so tall!"
Where did that cute little boy with the face go?! And his voice has changed too!
When Liu Chuanze heard Wen Han say that, he smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
He is sunny and handsome, and although he looks like Gu Zong, he gives off a completely opposite vibe.
Gu Zong hadn't changed; he still looked terrifying, the kind of person who could feed a shark. He seemed a little surprised to see Wen Han, and his scrutiny made Wen Han quite displeased: "What's wrong?"
"You don't look as fierce as before," Gu Zong commented. "It seems you've indeed received more complaints."
Wen Han told himself to stay calm; it was best not to mess with such a ruthless character who could send his younger brother and son to jail.
Liu Chuanze blushed slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed. As a child, he had watched too many movies with his mother and believed that Wen Han must be his destined true love. Thinking about it, his heart was in turmoil, which made him quite a laughing stock.
Wen Han didn't notice anything amiss; he was still lost in memories: "Come on, it's been so long! Where are you going to school...?"
