Xu Qingyun was completely unaware of all of this.
She gently withdrew her hand from Ye Jingnan's grasp, her tone indifferent, as if the intimacy from just moments ago had never occurred, "Thank you, cousin."
Ye Jingnan's eyes flickered slightly. "Xiaoyun, is something on your mind?"
Although Xiaoyun was a cold-hearted woman in the past, she was never as indifferent as she was now when facing him.
Xu Qingyun smiled faintly, like a snow lotus blooming in a glacier, serene and elegant.
"I do have some worries. I feel like my mother is hiding a lot of secrets. I even wonder if my grandfather's death is related to this."
"I've been back for so many days, and there's still no clue about what happened to Grandpa. Although I suspect Liang Wanrou did it, I have no evidence and I haven't investigated it in depth."
“Investigating things like this isn’t your forte, otherwise what would be the point of having criminal police? Alright, don’t blame yourself,” Ye Jingnan comforted her.
Xu Qingyun hummed in agreement. Her cousin's voice was as deep and gentle as ever, but she could no longer feel the warmth she once had.
What is my cousin hiding?
On the other side.
Ji Lun held his phone in his hand, staring at Xu Qingyun in the photo, a surge of anger rising in his heart.
He withdrew his cold gaze and headed straight for the hospital.
"Uncle, are you still lying down?" Ji Lun laughed mockingly, looking somewhat cynical.
Ji Hanchen slowly lifted his long eyelashes, a cold glint flashing in his dark eyes, like a fierce tiger, coldly and ruthlessly staring at Ji Lun.
"Uncle, don't worry, this is a hospital, with so many people watching. What can I do to you?" Ji Lun continued to mock.
Ji Hanchen snorted coldly, his eyes flashing even sharper, as if he wanted to pierce through Ji Lun: "Even if you want to do it, you have to have the ability."
Ji Lun dragged the chair to the bedside, sat down casually, spread his long legs, leaned forward, and moved closer to Ji Hanchen.
His eyes gleamed with malice, and he sneered, "Uncle, I've got something good for you."
As he spoke, he brought his phone close to Ji Hanchen's face.
Ji Hanchen glanced at it casually, then his pupils suddenly contracted.
Xu Qingyun and a young man were sitting in a French restaurant, with red wine and steak in front of them, and romantic pink roses adorning the table, creating an extremely romantic scene.
"Who is he?" Ji Hanchen's voice was extremely cold, suppressing endless anger.
Ji Lun raised his thin lips in a mocking smile, "Ye Jingnan, twenty-seven years old."
Ji Hanchen's eyes widened, a hint of shock flashing in them.
Ye Jingnan, the behind-the-scenes owner of Guyunfang, was mentioned by Shen Luo.
He had always thought that Yunyun had no other men around her, but he never expected that she had a close relationship with Ye Jingnan.
Ji Hanchen's heart pounded violently, feeling a strong burning sensation of jealousy in his heart.
His hand gripped the phone tightly, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force.
"Uncle, you should be able to tell that their relationship is not ordinary." Ji Lun's tone was full of sarcasm.
Ji Hanchen did not respond; his handsome face was frozen like ice, cold and terrifying.
"By the way, Uncle, I have some more news for you. Your fiancée is either Xu Jia or Xiao Yun."
The news struck like a bolt from the blue, causing Ji Hanchen's body to tremble violently. He instinctively tried to sit up, but the movement aggravated his wounds, causing him to fall back onto the bed in pain.
Ji Lun smiled brightly, "Uncle, don't be too happy yet. Although your fiancée is Xiao Yun, she has already broken off the engagement with Grandpa."
"Just when everyone thought you might become a vegetable and never wake up again, Xu Qingyun suddenly proposed to break off the engagement."
"Tell me, she knew you were her fiancé, so why did she break off the engagement? Was she afraid of living a life of widowhood, or did she simply not like you at all?"
Ji Lun's smile grew increasingly sinister, and his once beautiful peach blossom eyes became wicked and chilling, sending shivers down one's spine.
"Ah, I remember now. Grandpa even asked her if she liked you or not, but she said whether she liked you or not had nothing to do with breaking off the engagement."
"Uncle, as your nephew, I really feel sorry for you. It's your first time falling in love with a girl, and it all ends so tragically?"
Seeing Ji Hanchen speechless with shock, Ji Lun stood up, put his hands in his white trouser pockets, and turned to leave.
He came here today to tell Ji Hanchen about Xu Qingyun's annulment of the engagement, and now he has achieved his goal.
Before leaving, Ji Lun looked back once more, his lips tightly pressed together, his face tense, and his expression growing increasingly solemn.
Uncle, don't blame me for being cruel, but relationships are inherently a battleground, and all's fair in love and war, isn't that right?
Ji Hanchen lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, his face full of disbelief, his fists clenched but still trembling.
Yunyun, why are you so cruel?! Why did you break off the engagement?!
Fang Qing entered the ward, and Ji Hanchen's appearance filled her with worry. "Mr. Ji, are you alright?"
"Get out!" Ji Hanchen's voice was deep yet full of authority.
"Mr. Ji, I'm here for you..."
"Get out!" Ji Hanchen roared again, but suddenly everything went black before his eyes, he felt dizzy, his chest heaved violently, and he was breathing rapidly.
Fang Qing sensed something was wrong and immediately pressed the call button while shouting, "President Ji! President Ji, don't scare me, President Ji!"
Ji Hanchen's condition deteriorated again, and he was rushed into the operating room for emergency treatment.
Ji Huai and Ren Anjing rushed over after receiving the notification.
"What exactly happened? Where is Xu Qingyun? Wasn't she at the hospital with Ji Hanchen the whole time?" Ren Anjing demanded sharply.
Fang Qing kept her lips tightly closed, her expression solemn.
