Chapter 54 Playing along, huh? You young people are quite the ladies' man.
When Ji Tanyuan caught up with the dog in her car, she could hear it barking from a great distance.
The sports car accelerated, then braked suddenly, drifted, and the silver sports car came to rest in front of the black sedan.
Ji Tanyuan got out of the car and walked to the other car.
The driver got out of the car, bowed, and said, "Madam."
Ji Tanyuan opened the passenger door. The man in the passenger seat was holding Big, not daring to move, looking up at her with a more pitiful look than the dog in his arms.
The dog in his arms was gnawing on a cow bone.
Ji Tanyuan didn't say a word, she just hugged the dog.
He turned and left without saying a word.
"Mrs."
"roll."
"Okay, sure."
The driver got into the car and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's none of our business now."
The colleague in the passenger seat exclaimed, "You have no idea! If anything had happened to that dog, I would have been dead!"
The driver sighed, "Being dead is more dignified than stealing a dog."
He thought to himself, "These powerful and influential people are really outrageous."
Ji Tanyuan postponed her trip back to Shanghai, sent someone to see Qi Fu and gave her compensation, and took the dog to Qin Yini's apartment after she had taken it for a medical check-up.
Looking at the person whose complexion hadn't recovered, Qin Yini couldn't help but curse, "What an old geezer!"
"The autocracy and feudalism, landlords and exploitation are displayed to the fullest extent."
Qin Yini looked at the person applying lipstick and said, "Where are you going? You're not going to stab me again, are you?"
She put the dog down and said, "Wait for me, I'll stay with you."
Ji Tanyuan closed the lid. "I won't go. I might go when he goes to the crematorium."
"You're going to get a divorce?"
Ji Tanyuan slumped her shoulders. "I can't stand their family anymore. Those two old people are like hanging zombies. I'm afraid I'll have nightmares."
Not just anyone can be a daughter-in-law of such a prestigious family; she truly admires Wen Yi'an now.
Qin Yini: "The more elite the family, the more psychological abnormalities they tend to have."
"Actually, I would suggest that you and Mr. Zhong live separately. This way, your personal feelings won't affect the businesses of both families, and you can maintain the most basic dignity of both families. This is the correct way to handle a marriage alliance."
“I used to worry that your uncles would hold you back, but now it seems that Mr. Zhong’s side is just as capable.”
"So, in this case, it's better to separate. Of course, I'm looking at it from the perspective of the nature of the marriage alliance."
Ji Tanyuan: "I mentioned it before, but the Zhong family was unwilling. They wanted both the benefits of the marriage alliance and family harmony, wanting both face and substance, as if I had to be grateful and sacrifice myself for it."
“They take my politeness for granted and are pushing their luck.”
At this point, Ji Tanyuan sneered, "Zhong Yan, you bastard, you ran away on your own."
The fact that the Zhong family managed to drive this Miss Ji to such a verbally aggressive state shows just how despicable they are.
"What are you going to do next?"
Ji Tanyuan looked at Qin Yini. Those bright, gentle eyes, which were usually smiling with their eyebrows curved, were now red, filled with negative emotions that shouldn't have been there.
Qin Yini had known Ji Tanyuan for many years. Ji Tanyuan was a few years younger than her. She had never seen Ji Tanyuan raise her voice. Elegance and politeness had always been part of her personality. She never expected that a marriage would force her to this state.
Qin Yini came over, hugged her and comforted her, "Call your dad now. Whether you listen to his advice or not, you have to tell him first. It shows that you have a family back home."
"At this time, don't think about carrying it yourself. The matter of pushing the old man into the pond must be handled properly."
Although they are friends and colleagues, and she is her legal advisor, they cannot give her advice when she is prone to impulsiveness. Marriage, especially when it involves family matters, is too private, and how to handle it must be discussed by the people directly involved.
Ji Tanyuan hummed in agreement.
Zhong Yan had just finished a meeting when she received her brother's call.
He couldn't believe it when he heard Zhong Jing say that Ji Tanyuan had pushed his grandfather into the pond, and he said that someone had framed her.
Zhong Jing was really something else. "I saw it with my own eyes, and I was the one who rescued the old man."
Ji Tanyuan left only after seeing him jump down.
"You participated? While I was away..."
"Zhong Yan, I'm not joking. Come back right now."
Zhong Yan loosened his tie. "Where's Ji Tanyuan? Is she injured?"
“She’s perfectly fine; she pushed Grandpa inside and went straight to find the dog.”
Zhong Yan sneered, "So, Grandpa made things difficult for my wife while I was away, and even threatened her with a dog?"
After saying that, Zhong Yan hung up the phone and called someone to have the surveillance footage hacked and garbled.
Zhong Yan threw her phone on the sofa, took off her shirt tie, and called Ji Tanyuan, but the other party did not answer.
She called Qi Fu again to inquire and learned that Qi Fu was injured while chasing a dog, and that Ji Tanyuan had sent someone to check on her.
Zhong Yan: "I'm sorry, I will arrange for someone to take care of your recovery and I have already made appropriate compensation."
"No need, no need, Madam has already given it to me. I'm the one who apologizes."
"It's not your fault."
Zhong Yan hung up the phone after speaking.
Ji Tanyuan still didn't answer his calls.
The black Maybach sped through the traffic, heading towards the airport.
Zhong Yan sat in the back seat, expressionless.
Autumn has arrived; it turns out his marriage is on the verge of collapse.
Assistant Liang and Chu He sat in front, not daring to utter a word.
Since the boss got married, the emotional range has been extremely wide.
Before marriage, I was with a detached person who seemed to see through the world's illusions in the next second; after marriage, I became a quirky person whose happiness and anger were both obvious.
Assistant Liang asked, "Should I call a meeting to prepare for risk control?"
Now that things have come to this, Ji Tanyuan has completely broken ties with the Zhong family.
At first, he couldn't believe it, thinking that his poor wife had been framed.
Here, Assistant Liang has to give Princess Ji a thumbs up. She's amazing, practically a god.
He usually seems harmless, but once he makes a move, he tries to destroy the mastermind behind the scenes without saying a word. He's too reckless.
That's why Assistant Liang asked if they were prepared for a falling out, since the two were bound together by so much.
Zhong Yan raised his hand to press his brow bone, lowered his head, and the carriage remained silent.
A shadow fell over his handsome features, his wedding ring was neatly placed on his finger, and the problem he now faced was how to minimize his losses and maximize his gains in a marriage on the verge of collapse.
"Be prepared, just in case."
Zhong Yan didn't go to find Ji Tanyuan. He could deal with the Zhong family himself, and he figured Ji Tanyuan would never come.
Actually, he didn't feel much. Now that he calmed down and thought about it, it was actually within expectations. He said that Ji Tanyuan was elegant on the outside, but inside she was a tiger who didn't know the immensity of the sky and the earth. She used to be as obedient as a quail, but now she has exploded like an eagle.
He went to the hospital, where a family was sitting in the corridor.
His parents, his brother and sister-in-law, and the hospital director, among others.
Zhong Yan stepped forward and stood in front of his father.
"Come at me if you have a problem."
Zhong Fangqi dismissed the others, and once only his family remained in the corridor, he fixed his hawk-like gaze on his youngest son, "Coming after you?"
“If Zhong Jing had been even a little later today, someone would have died.”
Zhong Yan lowered his head and said, "No, she wouldn't do that if she couldn't see that brother was there."
"Zhong Yan!" Zhong Fangqi roared.
He raised his arm and slapped him across the face, instantly turning Zhong Yan's face to the side.
The others were startled, and Zhong Jing stepped forward, "Dad, this isn't Ayan's fault."
"He has obediently agreed to the arranged marriage."
Zhong Yan's eyebrows twitched, and he touched his numb face with the tip of his tongue. "It's my fault."
"I shouldn't have knowingly dragged an innocent person into our family situation to satisfy your so-called 'family happiness.' A marriage of convenience is actually quite good; at least the other person doesn't have to be tortured."
He chuckled and then said, "From now on, no matter what, if Ji Tanyuan doesn't like coming to the Zhong family, then she won't come."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Fangqi became even angrier. His regret for impulsively slapping her instantly vanished, and he even wanted to slap her twice more.
“But I still have the surname Zhong, and she is still Mrs. Zhong. This is just to avoid unnecessary trouble from affecting our most fundamental interests.”
"Compared to so-called filial piety, it's clear that what my marriage with her needs more is appearances in public. We can't put the cart before the horse, can we?"
Zhong Fangqi sneered, "Playing along, huh? You young people are quite the ladies' man."
"Then what can we do? Get a divorce?"
"You dare!"
Zhong Fangqi raised his hand again, but this time Zhong Jing quickly pressed it down and advised, "Dad, he's deliberately trying to upset you."
As Zhong Fangqi glared at Zhong Yan, panting, his secretary made a phone call, saying that Ji Tanyuan's parents had arrived.
