After settling Song Nuan in and letting her fall asleep, Li Jingchen left.
Ghost drove away from the garage.
There were few cars on the road in the early morning, so he sped up and reduced the journey from the garden to the Ouyang family villa, which originally took almost an hour, to ten minutes.
The servants have all gone to rest late at night.
Ouyang Chengyi had just returned from her debauchery when she bumped into Li Jingchen at her doorstep.
"Brother Jingchen, what brings you here?"
"Call Zhou Jing out."
In the darkness, the man exuded a fierce aura. Ouyang Chengyi carefully observed him, guessing what had happened, and then ran inside as instructed.
Not long after, Ouyang Zhoujing came out wearing only a thin sweater.
"Ah Jing, what do you want to see me about..."
"Bang!"
A fist suddenly landed on his face, leaving Ouyang Zhoujing somewhat stunned. Just as he raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, Li Jingchen suddenly threw a hook punch at his chin.
Li Jingchen was trained and was quite strong.
After two punches, half of Ouyang Zhoujing's face was numb, and he almost lost consciousness.
In fact, people like them face dozens of times more personal dangers than ordinary people from a young age. Even with bodyguards, everyone learns some self-defense skills.
He was no exception.
Ouyang Zhoujing took a step back, his eyes gradually darkening. "A-Jing, you'd better give me a reason."
Li Jingchen looked at him coldly, "You went to see Song Nuan today?"
"..."
A brief silence is equivalent to giving an answer.
Li Jingchen sneered, recalling Song Nuan's drunken ramblings. The fire in his chest burned brighter and brighter. His brother, whom he had grown up with, was being so intimate with his woman without his knowledge.
What a perfect example of "the darkest place is under the lamp."
He rolled up his sleeves and threw another punch.
This time, Ouyang Zhoujing was prepared and easily dodged the punch, but after dodging the first punch, he took the second one.
Time and again, even with his good temper, Ouyang Zhoujing finally lost his temper. "Li Jingchen, you're going to hit me for a woman? Are you out of your mind?"
"You still know she's my woman?"
Ouyang Zhoujing refused to back down and retaliated just as fiercely. The two wrestled and smashed flowerpots, the sounds of their fight especially noticeable in the dead of night.
Ouyang Zhoujing had long been dissatisfied with Li Jingchen.
During this time, Ouyang Chengyi had suffered countless grievances because of Song Nuan, and now he had even been expelled from school. He was aware of Ouyang Chengyi's problems, but he was also angry at Li Jingchen for speaking up for Song Nuan unconditionally.
The balance that the four major families had maintained for many years was gradually starting to crumble because of the appearance of Song Nuan.
Neither of them held back, and soon both were injured.
Ouyang Zhoujing spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.
His injuries were more severe than Li Jingchen's; every time he spoke, the pain aggravated the wound on his lip. "Have you vented enough?"
Li Jingchen rubbed his wrist and looked at him coolly.
"Zhou Jing, you're a smart man. I don't need to tell you how important Song Nuan is to me; you should be able to see that. You should nip your feelings for her in the bud as soon as possible, or next time it won't be as simple as a fight."
Ouyang Zhoujing chuckled.
Li Jingchen frowned, not understanding what he was laughing at.
"Is that what Song Nuan told you?" He dusted himself off, looking detached and indifferent. "If I had known she would twist the truth like this, I wouldn't have saved her today."
save?
Li Jingchen asked, "What happened?"
Ouyang Zhoujing sat down against the wall, bent his knees, and casually placed his hands on his knees. "She was almost raped by Qin Yuchuan at Qin's today, and I happened to see it."
"..."
Even in the darkness of the night, it was easy to see how unpleasant his expression was.
Ouyang Zhoujing smiled faintly, looking at Li Jingchen's displeasure, he felt surprisingly pleased, even though he didn't know where this inexplicable winner's mentality came from.
What did Qin Yuchuan do to her?
“He didn’t do anything,” Ouyang Zhoujing said calmly. “I arrived just in time; he didn’t have time to do anything.”
Li Jingchen's eyes changed slightly, finding these words extremely grating. What did he mean by saying he appeared in time?
"You bought her clothes even though she didn't do anything?"
“She’s been trembling.” Ouyang Zhoujing looked up at him and asked with amusement, “If I don’t buy her clothes, do you expect her to go back to see you wearing my clothes?”
Li Jingchen regretted not punching him a couple more times.
That boastful and smug tone is really annoying.
"What are you doing at Qin's Group?" Li Jingchen asked coldly. "Your company shouldn't have any dealings with Qin's Group, right?"
Ouyang Zhoujing chuckled, propped himself up from the ground, slowly walked into his car, opened the door and got in, then rolled down the window, "You beat me up like this, aren't you going to take me to the hospital?"
Li Jingchen gave him a cold glance, got into the driver's seat, and drove to the hospital.
He did not receive an answer to the question he had just asked.
Whether Ouyang Zhoujing says it or not is irrelevant; if he wants to investigate, there's nothing he can't find out.
By the time the bandaging was finished, it was already slightly dawn.
Both handsome faces were bruised to varying degrees. Without the medicine, they looked somewhat broken, messy, and wild. With the medicine, they looked rather comical.
"Don't even think about making a move on Song Nuan."
As Li Jingchen shoved the medicine into Ouyang Zhoujing's arms, he also gave him a warning.
You're overthinking it.
"Whether I'm overthinking it or you're just refusing to admit it, go back and think about it carefully."
The Ghost's body gradually disappeared.
Ouyang Zhoujing casually curled his lips. He wouldn't admit it? What did he have to deny? Song Nuan was indeed beautiful; no man could dislike her face.
But this doesn't mean he has any romantic feelings for Song Nuan.
...
When Song Nuan woke up, she had a splitting headache.
Looking at her surroundings, she was stunned for a moment before remembering that it was Li Jingchen who picked her up last night. She wondered if Li Jingchen had mentioned Qin Yuchuan while she was drunk.
Oh no—
Today is the day she and Qin Yuchuan are getting a divorce!
Drinking alcohol really leads to trouble.
She hurriedly turned on her phone and found that all of the dozen or so missed calls were from Qin Yuchuan. She put on her headphones, got up to wash and change her clothes, and called back at the same time.
The call was answered quickly.
"Song Nuan, have you had enough of your 'playing hard to get' game? Yesterday you were acting all virtuous and chaste, and today you're disappearing after the divorce. I don't have time to play along with you!"
"I overslept, I'm coming over now."
"Too late." Qin Yuchuan sneered. "I've been waiting for you all morning, and you're telling me you overslept? Looks like you don't really care about the divorce. In that case, let's not get a divorce. You can stay by my side for the rest of your life!"
"you--"
The call was disconnected.
Song Nuan slapped her forehead in frustration; the last sentence was absolutely terrifying.
She stood Qin Yuchuan up; he won't forgive her so easily. She needs to put this matter aside for a couple of days to let him calm down. The Song family's affairs are more important right now.
Inheriting the Song family business is now on the agenda.
"Going out right after sobering up?" Li Jingchen suddenly appeared as he was putting on his shoes in the entryway.
Song Nuan hummed in agreement, her head bowed. "The matter of inheritance can't be delayed, lest things get complicated. There's a shareholders' meeting today, I'll go first... Ah!"
She exclaimed in surprise, "What happened to your face?"
