Ji Hanchen said in a low voice, "Ye Jingnan is dead!"
boom!
Xu Qingyun's eyes widened suddenly, and she sat up abruptly from leaning against the headboard!
This news was too shocking for Xu Qingyun.
Ye An had only been dead for a short time, and now Ye Jingnan was dead too?!
"How did you die?! To save me?!"
Xu Qingyun clearly remembered that Ye Jingnan helped her up at the time, and Xu Jia was heartless and crazy; she killed Ye Jingnan!
Ji Hanchen shook his head, his handsome face cold and stern. "He killed Xu Jia and Ye Xiao. He was shot dead by the police."
Xu Qingyun's head buzzed again, and she went blank for a moment.
Ye Jingnan killed Xu Jia and Ye Xiao? For her sake?!
Ji Hanchen didn't hide anything, "The medicine you took was developed by him and Ye An. He thought you couldn't be saved, and in despair, he had the idea of avenging you. Huo Yan tried to persuade him, but he didn't want to live anymore, so he took a desperate gamble and fired the gun."
Hearing these words, Xu Qingyun was unable to react for a long time.
Her feelings for Ye Jingnan were very complicated. On the one hand, she was grateful for the warmth Ye Jingnan had given her.
On the other hand, Ye Jingnan's deception also made her feel hatred.
She thought she and Ye Jingnan would be separated forever, but she never expected that Ye Jingnan would risk his life to avenge her.
But she didn't die.
If Ye Jingnan had known this news earlier, would he have been less impulsive?
Trying to calm herself, Xu Qingyun asked with difficulty, "Did he say anything before he died?"
Ji Hanchen nodded.
Just then, Huo Yan walked in from outside, and "he said a lot."
As he spoke, Huo Yan pulled up a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed, just like Ji Hanchen.
“At the time, I wanted to set the Ye family on fire, but Ye Jingnan said that I am your brother, and even if you no longer have the chance to call me brother, he hopes to protect me for you.”
"He said that when you are buried, he will tell you not to be afraid and to wait for him on the way. He didn't take good care of you when you were alive, but he will clear the way for you on the road to the underworld."
"Xiaoyun, Ye Jingnan did something wrong, but his feelings for you are genuine. When you're better, go and offer him incense."
Xu Qingyun gritted her teeth and nodded her heavy head with difficulty.
My nose feels sore, and my heart aches. I can't quite put my finger on what's hurting me; it's just a dull, aching pain.
Ye Jingnan, why do you have to do this?
He risked his life for her! He was so young!
Xu Qingyun tried hard to hold back her tears. She was never one to show her emotions outwardly, but at this moment she was struggling to hold back her tears.
"Yunyun." Ji Hanchen was a little worried about Xu Qingyun's condition.
So much has happened in the past two months. Even he felt immense pressure, with a suffocating feeling in his chest, let alone Yunyun.
Ji Hanchen was somewhat worried that Xu Qingyun might have a breakdown.
Xu Qingyun lowered her eyelids, her voice tense, "Ji Hanchen, Ye Jingnan died because of me."
“Hmm.” Ji Hanchen nodded. “It’s because of you, but Yunyun, to be cold and selfish, dying for you was his own choice. You can’t blame yourself for his death, otherwise Ye Jingnan’s death would be meaningless.”
Huo Yan nodded, "Ji Hanchen is right. Ye Jingnan knew you saved him before he died, and he left with a smile. For him, this was the best outcome. He was at peace, without regrets or worries."
Xu Qingyun knew all this, but it was a human life, and for the ten years before she returned to the capital, Ye Jingnan had been taking care of her as her older brother.
To be fair, aside from concealing the fact that he didn't rape her, Ye Jingnan treated her very well.
"What's the state of the Ye family now?" Xu Qingyun forced herself not to think about Ye Jingnan and directed her anger at the Ye family!
Huo Yan sneered, "What else can happen? They're in a complete mess. Can you believe that the number one wealthy family in Nancheng could fall to the bottom overnight? Ye Boyun is completely panicked now. He's gone to see our... my dad, and he's also gone to see Ji Hanchen's mother."
"And the result?" Xu Qingyun pressed.
"Ren Anjing would never do a losing business. If it weren't for the Ye Jingnan incident, she would definitely have cooperated with the Ye family to join forces against the Huo family."
"However, the Ye family is now beyond saving, and Ren Anjing would not risk helping the Ye family and becoming an enemy of the Huo family."
"After all, my mother, Ms. Ji Yaxuan, doesn't get along with Ren Anjing either, so she should be happy to confront her. Ren Anjing won't take the risk."
"The Ye family is like the ice on the river now. It looks solid, but as soon as someone steps on it, the ice will crack and they will fall into the icy water. No one dares to make any rash moves."
At this point, Huo Yan suddenly leaned forward, "Little sister, do you want the Ye family? I'll get them for you to play with!"
The casual tone of "get it" and "play with it" makes it sound like they're talking about a small thing.
Even if the Huo family is a behemoth, the Ye family is no small matter either; they still have a century-old foundation.
Xu Qingyun nodded, "Yes."
"Alright, then leave this to me. Sweetie, you just woke up, get some rest." Huo Yan said affectionately, and then patted her head.
He treated Xu Qingyun like his own younger sister.
Ji Hanchen gripped Huo Yan's wrist, his thick brows furrowed. "If Yunyun wants the Ye family, then I, her fiancé, will naturally deliver it. It's not your turn. I won't agree!"
Huo Yan chuckled, "Yunyun is my sister. Do I, as her brother, need your permission to give her a gift?"
"She's not your sister! Huo Yan, you keep talking about sister and brother. Even if Huo Xize isn't Yunyun's biological father, you and Yunyun are still half-siblings. What are you after for such a big deal?"
"I'm happy to do what I want. I, Huo Yan, have always done things as I please. Who cares what others think?" Huo Yan chuckled, pulled his wrist back, put his hand in his pocket, and turned to leave.
In the ward, Xu Qingyun's gaze followed Huo Yan, and she slowly raised her hand and placed it on the top of her head.
Suppressing his jealousy, Ji Hanchen asked with concern, "Does your head hurt?"
Xu Qingyun shook her head, "It's a little warm because of the lingering warmth from Huo Yan's hands."
Upon hearing this, Ji Hanchen felt a tightness in his chest. He pulled her hand away, then placed his large hand on top of her head and hummed softly, "My hand is warmer."
Xu Qingyun turned her gaze back to Ji Hanchen, "It's different."
"How is it different?! Yunyun, have you fallen for someone else?!" Ji Hanchen's eyes widened, his tone full of dissatisfaction!
Xu Qingyun frowned. "Of course not. It's that feeling of kinship. I can feel that Huo Yan really is my brother. But why? Like you said, even if there's a problem with the DNA, and Huo Yan is actually my father, then Huo Yan is still my half-brother. Why is he so good to me? It's impossible that he was born to my mother too, right?"
Ji Hanchen narrowed his dark eyes slightly. "I don't understand either."
"And another thing," Xu Qingyun paused before asking, "Is the DNA test done by Bai Ruiting 100% safe?"
Ji Hanchen remained silent.
He trusted Bai Ruiting's character, but his intuition told him that Huo Xize must be Yunyun's biological father.
Could it be... that Bai Ruiting betrayed him?!
