Ji Yuwei was completely stunned.
He looked confused, as if he hadn't understood, and asked, "Big brother, what are you talking about?"
"Don't you know what my brother is talking about?"
Ji Qiyue stood aside, looking at Ji Yuwei with the same cold gaze as his elder brother, but with a hint of disgust.
"Niannian clearly told Grandpa not to eat deer antler, so why did you ask Aunt Li to make deer antler soup for lunch?"
"Do you know that because of this bowl of soup, Grandpa's old illness just relapsed, and he vomited blood and fell into a coma?"
"If Niannian hadn't come back in time, Grandpa would have almost been killed by you!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuwei's eyes widened, almost in disbelief: "...What?!"
Ji Yuwei hadn't taken the matter of asking Li Ma to add deer antler to the soup at noon to heart at all; she had long forgotten about it.
Originally, the deer antler could be stewed or not, but she just couldn't stand Jiang Nian's pretentious manner in front of her grandfather and fifth brother, and she didn't believe that Jiang Nian really knew anything about traditional Chinese medicine, thinking that she was just talking nonsense.
She refused to believe that stewing some deer antler could really cause anything to happen to her grandfather.
But now, hearing Ji Qiyue's words and seeing the expressions on his older brothers' faces, he realized how different things were.
She felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, and her spine instantly went cold.
Did something really happen to the old man?
If the old man really gets into trouble because of her stewed deer antler, the Ji family will never let her off the hook, and everything she has will be over!
Jiang Nian rushed back just in time... Was it Jiang Nian who came back and saved Grandpa?
Ji Yuwei then looked at Jiang Nian, who was standing next to Ji Yanli.
The girl simply stood there, yet she exuded a powerful aura that sent chills down her spine.
"...Big brother, I didn't mean to hurt Grandpa."
Ji Yuwei realized what was happening, and her eyes instantly filled with tears, filled with a pitiful fear.
Now that things have already happened, how could the Ji family not resent her? She needs to quickly shift the blame.
Ji Yuwei wanted to say that she didn't know that deer antler would cause her grandfather's illness, but Jiang Nian had clearly told her this in front of Fifth Brother yesterday.
With tears streaming down her face and her voice choked with sobs, she could only say, "Big brother, fifth brother... it's all my fault."
"I just felt that those deer antlers were hard to come by, and it would be a waste to just leave them unused, so I called a doctor friend to ask."
"That person told me that eating a small amount of deer antler would only be good for my grandfather's health, so I..."
"One of your doctor friends?"
Jiang Nian, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke coldly, "Which hospital does that doctor work for? When did you call to ask?"
"Now pull up the call logs. I want to see what kind of quack doctor can say such irresponsible things without even asking the patient about their prescription and diet."
"I……"
Ji Yuwei had only made up this excuse out of desperation, but she never expected Jiang Nian to take it so seriously. Her face immediately turned pale. "That's my friend, how could I give him..."
"Come with me."
Without saying a word, Jiang Nian grabbed Ji Yuwei's wrist and dragged her to the first-floor storage room.
"Ah! Jiang Nian, what are you doing? You..." Ji Yuwei screamed.
Jiang Nian was very strong, and Ji Yuwei couldn't break free at all, being dragged forward.
Neither Ji Yanli nor Ji Qiyue had time to stop them.
As the door to the storage room slammed shut, Ji Yuwei hadn't even had time to react before Jiang Nian grabbed her shoulders and slammed her against the wall.
Ji Yuwei cried out in pain as her back slammed against the cold wall.
But more than the pain, the moment she looked up and met Jiang Nian's eyes, she felt genuine fear.
The girl in front of her had such a cold and terrifying gaze that her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
She had never seen any high school girl with such a look in her eyes.
"Are you just jealous of me, or are you genuinely stupid?"
"If you're stupid, then be smarter in the future and don't do stupid things again."
"If you don't like me, come at me with whatever you want."
“If there is a next time, and Grandpa suffers any harm because of you, I will repay you tenfold or a hundredfold for the pain Grandpa has endured. Do you understand?”
After uttering this warning, Jiang Nian coldly released his grip.
Just then, Ji Yanli's slightly anxious voice came from outside the door: "Niannian, what are you and Yuwei doing in there?"
This Jiang Nian...
Jiang Nian learned about her true background and that she wasn't the real daughter of the Ji family, yet she dared to treat her like this.
But isn't she just a newlywed heiress who was only recently brought back by the Ji family? How much better is she than her?
Jiang Nian is so arrogant because the Ji family trusts her now that she saved the old man!
Ji Yuwei trembled all over.
Seeing Jiang Nian get up and walk out, as if she had made up her mind, she grabbed a fruit knife from the cabinet.
He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and slashed his arm hard. Blood immediately flowed from the wound after the blade cut through.
Just then, the door to the storage room opened.
Ji Yanli gasped when he saw what was happening before him.
Ji Yuwei, pale-faced, slumped to the ground, clutching her arm with her hand. Blood streamed from between her fingers onto the ground.
With tears streaming down her face, she weakly said, "Big brother, please don't blame Jiang Nian..."
“It’s all my fault today. She just wanted to vent her anger for Grandpa. If scratching me can make her feel better, I’m fine with it.”
