Ye Jinyu knew she was unwilling, but what was the use of persuasion?
After he left, he left only two people to take turns keeping watch, and instructed them to keep a close eye on her to prevent her from causing any more trouble.
Although they were all powerful and influential people in Kyoto, some of them were born into the very top of the elite, and even families that had been passed down for decades or centuries were no different from ordinary people in their eyes.
Shi Wan is someone that Lu Jingyan and the Lu family cherish. The last incident was enough to make Ye Jiajia die a horrible death.
If it weren't for the old friendship between Old Master Ye and Old Master Lu in their early years, Lu Jingyan wouldn't have cared about his father's reputation at all.
After leaving, the old servant behind Ye Jinyu felt a little sorry to see the eldest young lady, who had been pampered by the Ye family since childhood, in this state. "Young master, the eldest young lady has hardly ever been away from the master and madam since she was a child. She has always been spoiled by the family. Now that she is locked up in this place, it is inevitable that she will feel a little lost."
Ye Jinyu stopped in his tracks, his eyes darkening. "If we continue to spoil her, the entire Ye family will be buried with her!"
"Before they arrive, just keep an eye on her and don't say anything else you shouldn't."
"Yes," the servant replied respectfully.
late at night.
After dealing with his family, Lu Jingyan returned to the bedroom, opened the door and saw that she was already asleep. He quietly walked to the bedside.
After watching her for a while, I whispered "Goodnight" in her ear, tucked her in, and then went to the study.
Inside the study, Lu Jingyan sat in a chair, flipping through a parenting book, and carefully marking and drawing on the pages with a pen.
The butler stood respectfully to the side. "Mr. Lu, our people have sent a message from the Ye family."
"Hmm?" Without looking up, she continued to take notes diligently.
"Ye Jiajia went mad and was sent to a sanatorium by Ye Jinyu. She injured several people at the hospital, and..."
Lu Jingyan finally looked up and raised an eyebrow, "Are you crazy?"
“Yes,” the butler replied respectfully, then paused before continuing, “she was yelling at you and your wife at the hospital.”
Lu Jingyan gave a cold laugh, "I imagine the insults were quite harsh."
The butler lowered his head and remained silent, taking it as a tacit agreement.
"Since she has such a foul mouth, let her experience the consequences. Her existence only threatens Wanwan. If necessary..."
A murderous glint flashed in Lu Jingyan's dark eyes, and the butler immediately understood, "Understood."
"Also," Lu Jingyan paused, "there are some things you shouldn't tell Madam."
He can handle the shady, low-class tasks.
"yes!"
...
The day after Lu Jingyan's successful marriage proposal, everyone except Chu Ningxuan and Song Yu took a plane back to Kyoto early in the morning.
Zhou Yun originally planned to stay in Ezhou a little longer to complete his previous travel plans, until a phone call summoned him back to Kyoto.
Kyoto.
Zhou Jin lay on the bed, his face as white as a sheet of paper, devoid of any color or life.
Ji Chu, along with several doctors, was giving Zhou Jin a full-body examination.
Zhou's mother, Lu Jin, lowered her head to wipe away her tears, gently stroking Zhou Jin's forehead with one hand. "My child, you have suffered so much since you were little, and now I have to torment you. I would rather suffer this pain myself."
Zhou Jin held Lu Jin's hand and gently comforted her, "Mom, it's just a simple check-up, it's nothing."
Lu Jin looked at her daughter with pity. Thinking of how her daughter had been plagued by illness since childhood, and how she had been sent abroad and had her identity concealed by the Zhou family, her heart ached. "I'm so sorry for making you suffer all these years. If it weren't for..."
Zhou Jin's pupils flickered slightly, but Lu Jin didn't continue.
If it weren't for Zhou Yuntao wanting Old Master Zhou to help him gain a foothold in the board of directors, he wouldn't have listened to the old man's advice and adopted that ungrateful Zhou Yun.
How could she raise someone else's child while her own daughter was left abroad to suffer from illness for years?
Thinking of Zhou Yun, a hint of resentment flashed in Lu Jin's eyes.
Zhou Yun first broke her promise and ran away before the surgery. Although she later donated her kidney, she severed ties with the Zhou family after handing over the management of the company to Zhou Jin.
Even if you've raised a dog for so many years, you should have developed some feelings for it.
Originally, after Zhou Jin returned to take over the company, she would never let Zhou Yun stay in this house again, no matter what.
However, Zhou Yun first issued a statement severing ties with the Zhou family, and then handed over all company management to Zhou Hou and ran away, which deepened her resentment towards Zhou Yun.
She still can't understand why Old Master Zhou insisted that Zhou Yuntao adopt Zhou Yun, even though he repeatedly told the Zhou family to treat Zhou Yun well on his deathbed and gave her all the best resources.
Zhou Jin noticed the expression on Lu Jin's face, and a flash of hatred quickly crossed his eyes.
Zhou Yun, you've taken my position, resources, and man for so many years, and now she's going to take them all back.
The resentment in her eyes quickly subsided into calm under Ji Chu's gaze.
Zhou Jin smiled gently, "Mom, Xiaoyun has been raised as the heir since she was little. She must have been under a lot of pressure to achieve what she has today. Besides, she has resigned from all her positions, so it's inevitable that she feels a sense of loss. Let her rest for a while. She will come home once she has thought things through."
Lu Jin patted her hand, "You should still worry about your health. You exhausted yourself again after this trip to the capital. If Zhou Yun were sensible, she should come back to assist you and manage these people for you."
That ungrateful Zhou Yun caused a huge uproar the moment they weren't watching her closely; she kept her relationship with Ji Chu a secret from them for a long time.
If it weren't for Zhou Jin mentioning Zhou Yun's changes when she and Zhou Yuntao went abroad to visit Zhou Jin, they would never have investigated her interpersonal relationships, let alone found out that the two of them were dating.
When they found out, they wanted to break up the two, but they didn't dare to do so because of Ji Chu's power.
She wanted Zhou Yun to marry into a wealthy family as soon as possible to help the Zhou family, but she didn't want her to live happily in the wealthy family.
"Mom!" Zhou Jin interrupted Lu Jin.
Caught a glimpse of Ji Chu's gaze, Zhou Jin lowered his eyes and shook his head helplessly.
"Isn't there Brother Ji Chu? With him taking care of me, I'll be fine." She finished speaking and gave Ji Chu a bright smile.
"Hmm." Ji Chu raised his hand and rubbed Zhou Jin's head.
“I’ll have my assistant help with the company matters. Your priority right now is to recover. It will hurt a bit when you have your blood drawn later. If you can’t bear it, just hold my hand.” Ji Chu gently stroked her cheek with his finger.
This face is the same as the face under that tree in my memory, yet it's also somewhat different.
"Okay!" Zhou Jin nodded with a smile.
Ji Chu looked at her with a gentle smile, her expression earnest and focused.
When Zhou Yun arrived at the door, she saw two dramatic scenes unfolding inside the ward: one depicting the deep affection between a mother and daughter, and the other showing the tender feelings between a man and a woman.
Seeing that there were many people in the ward, Zhou Yun did not go in.
Back on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, I lazily basked in the sun and enjoyed afternoon tea.
Zhou Yun slowly strolled up to the second floor after the doctor had completed all the examinations.
Ji Chu was leaving the ward when he ran into Zhou Yun, who was about to go in.
Their eyes met, and Ji Chu stopped in his tracks, while Zhou Yun ignored him and walked past him into the building.
