Ji Lun's eyes flashed with malice. "Who are you?!"
"You don't need to know who I am. All you need to know is that Xiaoyun is not someone you can touch!"
The man was very forceful and forcibly pried Ji Lun's hands off.
Ji Lun squinted and stared at the man for a long time before turning and leaving.
After he left, Xu Qingyun was a little surprised. "Cousin, what brings you here?"
Ye Jingnan ruffled her hair, his previous sharpness gone, replaced by his usual gentle demeanor. He said softly, "I was worried about you, and I happened to have something to take care of, so I came to check on you."
Xu Qingyun flinched; even though so many years had passed, she still couldn't get used to being touched by others.
Even if the other party is her cousin.
Ye Jingnan's eyes dimmed slightly. Seeing the lunchbox in her hand, he asked, "Haven't you eaten yet?"
"For Ji Hanchen."
"Ji Hanchen? The Ninth Master of the Ji family?" Ye Jingnan asked with a hint of doubt.
If Xiaoyun is willing to address someone by their full name, it means that the person is no ordinary person to her.
In such a short time, Xiaoyun got together with Ji Hanchen?
Ye Jingnan had been keeping an eye on Xu Qingyun's movements in Beijing, so he knew that she had moved to Ji Hanchen's place, but he firmly believed that the usually cold-hearted Xu Qingyun would not fall in love easily.
However, at this moment, Ye Jingnan was even more uncertain.
Xu Qingyun raised her eyes, "Cousin, didn't you know Ji Hanchen before this? Didn't you know Ji Huai?"
Ye Jingnan chuckled, "Xiaoyun, there's no need to test me. I really don't know. After all, we're not in the same world as a top-tier wealthy family like the Ji family."
Xu Qingyun lowered her eyes, "I'm sorry, cousin."
"No need to apologize to me, brother. Go find Master Ji first, and we siblings can have dinner together later to chat..."
Ye Jingnan paused for a moment before uttering the word "aunt".
Xu Qingyun's eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded, saying, "Okay."
**
Xu Qingyun raised Ji Hanchen's bed, then ladled out a bowl of millet porridge, sat by the bed, blew on it to cool it down, and fed it to him.
"Try it and see if it's hot."
Ji Hanchen kept looking at her.
Xu Qingyun felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. She lowered her eyelashes and asked softly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Is Yunyun hiding anything from me?" Ji Hanchen asked.
Xu Qingyun lifted her eyelids and met Ji Hanchen's deep, dark eyes. His eyes were unfathomable, and she could not discern any emotion in them.
Was he asking about annulling the engagement?
How should she answer?
She said she had no idea her fiancé was him before she called off the engagement?
But if Ji Hanchen asked her, "If she knew he was the one she was going to marry, would she still have broken off the engagement?" how would she answer?
Xu Qingyun didn't know.
While she remained silent, Ji Hanchen spoke again, "Yunyun, tell me, you won't hurt me, the car accident has nothing to do with you."
Xu Qingyun paused for a moment, "The car accident?"
"Old Liu has met that truck driver," Ji Hanchen said without hiding anything.
Xu Qingyun frowned. "So you suspect I'm involved in the car accident?"
Ji Hanchen remained silent.
He could move his left hand, so he picked up the phone and opened the photo Lu Chuan had posted.
The angle of the shot was perfect, showing her holding hands with Ji Lun, which could easily lead to misunderstandings.
Xu Qingyun confirmed that Shen Luo and Luo Chuan had indeed seen her and Ji Lun, and even took photos and sent them to Ji Hanchen.
They seem to have a deep misunderstanding about her.
“Jilun is harassing me, but we didn’t hold hands. I don’t know about Lao Liu going to see the driver, but he wouldn’t be the one who bribed the driver; he had no motive.”
"He didn't, so what about you?" Ji Hanchen asked again.
Snap!
Xu Qingyun placed the bowl on the sideboard and looked coldly at Ji Hanchen. "Do you think I have a motive?"
"Yunyun, I just want you to tell me yourself that you didn't." All Ji Hanchen wanted was for her to tell him directly.
"I don't."
Xu Qingyun spoke in a calm tone, then picked up her handbag and said softly, "Secretary Fang is outside. She can feed you. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
"Yunyun!" Ji Hanchen exclaimed anxiously.
Is she angry?
Xu Qingyun did not turn around.
Are you angry?
Yes, to some extent.
But she didn't know why she was angry.
She was used to being misunderstood. When she was a child, Xu Jia framed her in various ways. After going abroad, people falsely accused her of stealing, drug use, and prostitution. She had become strong and wouldn't get angry easily.
But why did Ji Hanchen's mere test make her lose her temper?
Xu Qingyun was somewhat annoyed and went straight back to Guyunfang after leaving the hospital.
She needed to know why Uncle Liu had met with that driver.
Ye Jingnan was also there when she arrived.
Over the years, it was my cousin who first contacted Uncle Liu of Guyunfang, so it's not surprising that they know each other.
Just as Xu Qingyun was about to go in, she heard Uncle Liu say, "Are you sure you don't want to tell Miss about this?"
Xu Qingyun stopped in her tracks and hid herself.
Ye Jingnan shook his head and lowered his voice: "Don't tell her for now."
Old Liu sighed, "If Miss finds out about the driver, I'm afraid she won't trust me anymore?"
How much money did you give?
"As you said, I gave them 200,000 yuan in cash," Old Liu answered truthfully.
Xu Qingyun was surprised and took two steps back, hiding herself even more tightly.
She didn't intend to eavesdrop, but it was clear that Uncle Liu and her cousin were hiding something from her.
Ye Jingnan said in a deep voice, "It's not much, not enough to arouse suspicion in you."
They didn't say anything more after that, and Xu Qingyun didn't listen any further.
