Xu Qingyun looked directly at Ji Hanchen with her clear, bright eyes and said bluntly, "I have both."
Ji Hanchen hummed in agreement, automatically ignoring the fact that Xu Qingyun was avoiding him. He picked up the ice pack, put it in his arms, warmed it for a moment, and then placed it on Xu Qingyun's face.
"Is it still cold?" Ji Hanchen asked seriously.
Xu Qingyun was slightly taken aback, then said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Ji, it's no longer cold."
Actually, avoiding him is the main thing.
Ji Hanchen frowned: "Yunyun, don't be so polite."
Xu Qingyun raised her hand: "Mr. Ji, I can do it myself."
"Call me Han Chen." Ji Han Chen's voice carried a hint of anger, and he showed no intention of letting go.
They always call him "Mr. Ji," as if they don't know each other at all.
Xu Qingyun didn't respond. After applying ice for a while, she felt her face getting cold and moved away.
Ji Hanchen took the ice pack away, unscrewed the ointment, and carefully applied it to her.
Xu Qingyun dared not look at him, slowly lowering her eyelids, her thick eyelashes trembling gently, and her breathing becoming much lighter.
The man's fingertips were somewhat rough, and when they rubbed against her face, they felt hot and slightly itchy.
Isn't this kind of action a bit too intimate?
Xu Qingyun wondered why Ji Hanchen cared so much about her, since she and Ji Hanchen had only met a few times.
Although the redness and swelling on Xu Qingyun's face were not so obvious after applying ice, there were still obvious red marks.
Ji Hanchen felt a lingering anger rising in his chest, as if a precious treasure he usually wouldn't touch had been wantonly smashed.
"Does it hurt a lot?" Ji Hanchen asked, his voice filled with concern.
Xu Qingyun's breath hitched; she could clearly feel Ji Hanchen's concern, which made her feel somewhat at a loss.
But it really hurts.
When she confronted Xu Sen, she felt only anger, but now, looking back, she still feels wronged.
Xu Qingyun couldn't understand how Xu Sen felt no remorse when facing his daughter who had been missing for ten years, the same daughter he had cruelly kicked out of the house.
Ten years have passed, and Xu Sen doesn't care how she survived, where she is, what she did, or what she went through. Instead, all he sees is hatred.
Is this really her biological father?
Xu Qingyun shook her head gently, letting go of her grievances. "It hurt then, but it's fine now."
Ji Hanchen felt a tightness in his chest, and a pang of heartache spread through him. "I'll take you home first."
After escorting Xu Qingyun back to her residence, Ji Hanchen personally saw her upstairs.
Just like last time, Ji Hanchen didn't go in; he just stood at the door.
"Mr. Ji, thank you." Xu Qingyun placed her hands on her lower abdomen and nodded slightly.
Ji Hanchen nodded. "Lock the door."
After Xu Qingyun closed the door, Ji Hanchen took a cigarette, broke it in half, lit it, and stomped out the cigarette butt only after it had burned out.
Back in the car, Ji Hanchen ordered in a deep voice, "Find out what happened to Yunyun at the Xu family."
Jiang Xun turned around and said, "President Ji, I have already investigated. Miss Xu was probably beaten by Xu Sen."
Not long after Xu Sen went upstairs, Miss Xu came downstairs with a handprint on her face.
"In addition, Miss Xu Jia said a lot of bad things about Miss Xu to those people, saying that she was kept by Xu Zhengyuan and that she liked to steal chickens and dogs. Her words were very offensive."
Jiang Xun dutifully reported that he knew his boss cared a lot about Xu Qingyun, so he had already ordered an investigation.
As Ji Hanchen listened, his face grew increasingly gloomy, his dark eyes seeming like a bottomless abyss.
"Cut off all business dealings with the Xu family!"
Anyone who dares to touch Ji Hanchen's precious treasure will have to pay a heavy price.
Jiang Xun immediately understood, "Yes, President Ji, I'll take care of it right away."
**
It would be easy for the Ji family to deal with whomever they wanted.
Overnight, all projects involving the Xu family were terminated.
The stock of "Hengli Construction," which Xu Sen founded, plummeted to its daily limit, resulting in heavy losses.
Xu Sen felt as if he had been thrown into an ice cave in the dead of winter, his whole body aching as if pierced by ice spikes.
"How could this happen?! How could this happen?!"
Liang Wanrou was also extremely anxious. "Old Xu, have you found out why everyone is suddenly targeting our family?"
Xu Sen roared, "How should I know?! It must be that man, he must be the Ninth Master of the Ji family!"
Ever since seeing Ji Hanchen at the banquet last night, Xu Sen has been convinced that the man is Ninth Master Ji.
Liang Wanrou's scalp tingled, and her lips instantly turned pale: "Husband, find the Ji family patriarch, find him! Regardless of whether that man is the Ninth Master of the Ji family or not, the only one who can save the company now is the Ji family patriarch."
**
The Ji family ancestral home.
Ji Hanchen strode into the entryway, glanced at Ji Huai in the living room, and asked in a cold tone, "What's the matter that you're in such a hurry to bring me back?"
"What else do you want to ask me? I'm asking you, did you do what happened to the Xu family?" Ji Huai questioned.
Ji Hanchen chuckled, sank into the sofa, and coldly retorted, "Xu Jia complained?"
"Ninth Brother, that's your future father-in-law after all. How can you treat him so cruelly in the future?"
Ji Hanchen's gaze sharpened: "I'll say it again, I won't marry her. If you want to marry her, you do it!"
"You bastard!" Ji Huai almost had a heart attack from anger. "What nonsense are you talking about? I could be that girl's grandfather by now."
"Knowing you can be someone's grandfather, you still want to be someone's father?" Ji Hanchen mocked, truly not knowing what the old man saw in Xu Jia.
Ji Huai pressed his hand to his chest, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, he's my own son."
"No matter what, you are not allowed to lay a hand on the Xu family again. If you do not fulfill the marriage agreement, I will kill myself."
