Ji Hanchen stood frozen in place, remaining silent for a long time.
Ren Anjing still felt sorry for him, after all, he was her son. So seeing him so distraught, she softened her tone and said, "Son, listen to your mother, break up with her. I'm doing this for your own good."
Ji Hanchen trembled, then suddenly looked at Ren Anjing, his fiery eyes as red as blood.
He laughed sinisterly and bloodthirstyly, "For my own good? If it were for my own good, why show it to me? Why didn't you tear this up? Then no one would know! You just want me to break up with Yunyun!"
Ren Anjing was so angry that she trembled all over. She raised her hand and slapped her son hard across the face.
“You are my son, the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to. Regardless of whether I wanted you before, I believe I have fulfilled all the responsibilities of a mother over the years. You may not believe me, you may misunderstand me, but I don’t want you to be a coward.”
"You and Xu Qingyun are destined not to be together. You're like a ticking time bomb. Do you really want to wait until you both have a child before you're forced to separate?!"
Ji Hanchen smiled painfully, "We will never have children."
"What do you mean? Xu Qingyun can't have children?!" Ren Anjing raised her voice.
Ji Hanchen didn't speak. His tall and imposing figure seemed to be shrouded in something, isolating him from everything around him, making it impossible for anyone to get close.
Ren Anjing remained relentless, saying, "If she can't get pregnant, then you two should separate even more. The Ji family needs an heir. Son, think it through yourself."
Ren Anjing pulled the loose-leaf paper back into her pocket, then got into the car and ordered Fang Nuo, "Drive."
**
Ren Anjing's car had already driven away, but Ji Hanchen was still standing there, leaning dejectedly against the car.
what to do?
What should he do?
Ji Hanchen looked at the Ye Group building not far away. It was only about a hundred meters away, but it felt so far away to him, as if he could never reach it no matter how hard he tried.
**
A city overnight.
"Why are you drinking in broad daylight?" Lu Chuan teased, putting his arm around Ji Hanchen's shoulder.
Ji Hanchen remained silent, picked up a glass, poured himself a glass of strong liquor, and downed it all in one gulp.
The spiciness burned his throat, leaving a stinging pain, and his voice cracked as if it had been torn apart. "Yunyun and I are breaking up."
Lu Chuan paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Do you think I'd believe that? Old Ji, this isn't funny. You're so devoted to Xiao Qingyun, how could you possibly break up with her? For her, you even gave up the enormous Ji family, so there's no reason for you to separate from her."
Shen Luo scoffed, "If you're willing to break up with her, pigs can fly."
Bai Ruiting smiled without saying a word, but the answer in his heart was the same as that of Lu Chuan and Shen Luo.
Ji Hanchen smiled sadly, his dark pupils shrouded in tears. "But what if she wants to break up with me?"
The three men were all taken aback.
Lu Chuan whistled, "If you put it that way, then I might believe you, after all, you love her more than Qingyun loves you."
Shen Luo sneered, "Impossible. Xiao Yun isn't that kind of person. I won't misunderstand her this time."
"Han Chen, is there some misunderstanding?" Bai Ruiting asked gently.
Ji Hanchen lowered his eyes. "She didn't mention it to me, but if she knew about our feud, she would definitely bring it up. We have a blood feud."
"What deep-seated hatred?"
The three men spoke in unison, their expressions all turning serious.
They knew very well that Ji Hanchen would never have that expression if it weren't true.
Ji Hanchen lowered his head and didn't say anything, then poured himself another glass of wine.
Finally, Ji Hanchen drank two bottles of wine by himself and got so drunk that he was unconscious.
Lu Chuan and Shen Luo drank with him whenever they could, and both got completely drunk, while only Bai Ruiting remained sober.
As always, he was the one who cleaned up the mess.
"Hanchen, I'll take you home. Qingyun called looking for you." Bai Ruiting helped Ji Hanchen up.
Ji Hanchen slowly raised his eyelids, giving a sorrowful smile, "I won't... I won't go back... to the Ji family... the Ji family... they... dissected Ye Jianjia... and took... her child..."
boom!
Bai Ruiting was as if struck by lightning, staring at Ji Hanchen in disbelief, his body stiff and his mind blank, as if he had been frozen in place.
A full minute passed before Bai Ruiting gradually regained his senses and recovered from his shock.
He's a doctor himself, and he knows how important anesthesia is for surgery. A woman, being dissected alive?!
To disembowel a child?!
How could the Ji family do something so heinous?!
Child abduction? Besides Xu Qingyun, who else did Ye Jianjia have?!
Bai Ruiting's mind raced, but then a handsome face came into view, startling him so much that he trembled violently.
Huo Yan?!
No, no, no, that can't be.
Perhaps it was Ye An. Ye An was willing to risk his own life to avenge Xu Qingyun and Ye Jianjia!
But Bai Ruiting thought of something else: his father had asked him to tamper with Huo Xize and Xu Qingyun's DNA test, which was obviously to prevent them from recognizing each other!
The Ji family?
Ji Yaxuan?
Ye Jianjia, Huo Yan...
Boom!
A terrifying thought formed in Bai Ruiting's mind: Huo Yan was Ye Jianjia's biological son, taken away by Ji Yaxuan to use her as a womb to seize power?!
Bai Ruiting's face was as white as paper. He quickly helped Ji Hanchen stand up, then called Jiang Xun, and together they took Ji Hanchen to the hotel.
