Chapter 55 It's alright, he deserves to die.
Ji Tanyuan received Ji Qing's call around 4 p.m.
"Get down."
Upon hearing the deep voice on the other end of the phone, Ji Tanyuan exclaimed in surprise, "Dad?"
"I'm downstairs at Yini's apartment building. Get dressed and come down." Ji Qing's voice came with the sound of the wind.
“Huanghuang, your mother and I are here.”
When Ji Tanyuan went downstairs, she saw her parents waiting at the car door, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Sheng Wan stepped forward to tidy Ji Tanyuan's hair, "We've wronged Huanghuang, haven't we?"
Sheng Wan was physically weak, and even with makeup on, her face was pale. However, her attire was luxurious, and she exuded a dignified and elegant air.
This was the third time she and Ji Qing had appeared together in front of Ji Tanyuan. The first time was at her coming-of-age ceremony, and the second time was at her wedding. Usually, even when the two had to meet for business banquets, they would avoid Ji Tanyuan, for fear that they would get into a fight and upset her.
She choked up as she said, "I thought you wouldn't come."
Ji Qing patted her head and said, "Silly girl, you're not an orphan. What would you do if we didn't come to help with something this big?"
Ji Tanyuan lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, but I was just so angry. He went too far."
The puppy is very important to her.
Sheng Wan wiped away her tears, her eyes gentle. "It's alright, he deserves to die."
Ji Qing frowned and warned, "Sheng Wan."
Sheng Wan glanced at Ji Qing with a blank expression, devoid of any emotion.
Ji Qing also looked at his wife, "Be careful, don't forget what I told you in the car."
It means don't embarrass your daughter in front of your in-laws; if you can't help it, take two more tranquilizers.
He then looked at Ji Tanyuan and said, "Come with us to the hospital. Of course, it's not for you to apologize, but since the old man is in a coma, it's only right and proper for us to go and see him."
He was also uncomfortable. After all, he had felt so guilty that he couldn't sleep when Ji Tanyuan cried and said she was wronged last time. But he couldn't help but feel humiliated.
But now that Ji Tanyuan is being tormented like this, he would be even more sorry for his daughter if he continued to remain silent.
"Go ahead, your mother and I are here."
Ji Tanyuan understood. It wasn't her going to apologize, but her parents were going to apologize anyway, which made Ji Tanyuan even more unwilling. "I'm not going."
Sheng Wan knew exactly what Ji Tanyuan was thinking. "It's okay, your father deserves it. This is what he owes you. Who told him to arrange this marriage for you?"
Ji Tanyuan: "..."
“I agreed at the time.”
Sheng Wan said indifferently, "How old were you? You were 23 back then. What did you know? A bunch of people were bullying you because you were naive and had never suffered."
"Your limited work experience is completely inapplicable to animals. This kind of thing can only be done between animals. Let us handle it."
Ji Tanyuan squeezed her mother's hand and pulled her back before she could lose control of her emotions: "Mom."
The three of them eventually went to the hospital together.
Ji Tanyuan noticed the redness on Zhong Yan's face as soon as she entered the hospital, then turned her head away.
Ji Qing stepped forward and shook hands with Zhong Fangqi, first expressing his apology: "Huanghuang has been spoiled by us since he was a child. He can't hide his temper and has never suffered any grievances. I'm really sorry to have troubled you."
Zhong Fangqi smiled, implying that the Zhong family had wronged her, which was why she couldn't hide her temper.
But we can't hurt the old man for a dog.
Sheng Wan had a gentle smile, even more so than Ji Tanyuan. She wore a gray coat with pearl earrings, her makeup was exquisite, and she was well-maintained. She was truly a pampered noblewoman, more elegant than anyone else present. Her mental state and wealth were the main reasons for this.
"Yes, my dear in-law, you don't know, she usually has a very good temper, but she's not without one either, so she probably acted impulsively this time. She's young, after all, please be magnanimous."
Sheng Wan's voice was gentle, but her words carried a hidden meaning.
“How about this, let the two children sit outside for a while, and we’ll go inside and talk. My husband and I want to apologize to the children in person.”
The last four adults went inside, leaving only Zhong Jing and Wen Yi'an and Zhong Yan and Ji Tanyuan outside.
Zhong Yan and Ji Tanyuan each sat in a corner of the sofa.
The main reason was that Ji Tanyuan deliberately kept her distance from Zhong Yan; whenever Zhong Yan approached, she would leave.
Zhong Yan sighed, "Why are you avoiding me? I didn't do anything."
Ji Tanyuan looked down at her phone and didn't say anything.
Zhong Jing spoke up, "Tan Yuan, how's that pet nanny doing?"
Ji Tanyuan replied, "It's already been taken care of."
Zhong Jing nodded.
Zhong Yan glanced at his brother casually, trying to make conversation. Did he really need to ask?
While Ji Tanyuan was engrossed in her phone, Zhong Yan sat down next to her and pressed down on her leg as she tried to get up: "Let's talk."
"There's nothing to talk about."
Zhong Yan sighed, "No matter what Grandpa tells you, don't believe him."
Ji Tanyuan gave a forced smile, "If you don't believe him, do you believe you?"
Zhong Yan smiled and said, "Okay."
Zhong Yan's face was still a little red, clearly the slap was not light, and she stared blankly.
Zhong Yan took her hand and touched it to his face. "Don't worry, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Ji Tanyuan snapped out of her daze and immediately withdrew her hand.
Wen Yi'an stood up. "There's no one home, and Grandma still needs to be taken care of. I'll go back now."
Zhong Jing frowned: "Don't we have servants? Let's go home first."
Wen Yi'an refused, saying, "I'm not comfortable with that."
Zhong Yan's smile faded: "Sister-in-law, Grandma is old and can't handle any stress, you know that, right?"
Wen Yi'an paused in her act of getting up, then smiled and said, "Of course."
Zhong Jing also left; after all, the people inside were the second son's parents-in-law.
They probably can't get a divorce now, but they've reached a dead end.
