"Yu, can’t you see that I like you?"
"I know you like . So what?" They had talked before; this kind of interaction now felt like there was no point in discussing anything.
"Yu, I don’t know what you’re thinking. Your heart doesn’t rember that man anymore, so why not try accepting ?"
He wanted to step forward and embrace Ji Yu but was slapped by her.
"Jiang Huai, you need to understand—it’s you who likes , not who likes you. With this disgusting attitude, who do you think you’re persuading?"
If it weren’t for the fact that she still had so much to deal with, Ji Yu might have outright argued with Jiang Huai.
"I have a lot of things to do right now. Stop wasting my ti here. There’s nothing more for us to discuss."
Hearing Ji Yu’s words, his heart felt like it was torn to pieces.
This ti, he didn’t just leave. Instead, he grabbed Ji Yu’s wrist directly, his gaze turning sharp.
"Yu, you cannot escape from the palm of my hand. Are you still thinking of going to Gu Qixiao? I’m telling you now—such a thing will never happen in this lifeti."
He pulled Ji Yu into his arms.
The situation made Ji Yu feel imnsely irritable; she didn’t even know what to say.
"Don’t do this."
In reality, she had already gripped the knife beneath her tightly.
"Yu, you can’t understand how desperate I feel right now. If you went through the sa things I did, you wouldn’t say such words."
He tried to kiss Ji Yu, but she dodged him.
"Don’t push . I really have no intention of being with you. I’ve said it before: as long as you save my father, I’m willing to marry you."
"You’re just using this as an excuse to string along. Why not be with right now?" His eyes were bloodshot, seemingly on the brink of madness.
Ji Yu genuinely couldn’t understand what was wrong with him—why he had suddenly beco so insane.
"If you keep pushing ..."
"What? Are you going to kill now? Think carefully—if you kill now, your father will be dood." Jiang Huai seed to already know sothing, his expression showing complete indifference.
Ji Yu was montarily dazed, and by the ti she snapped out of it, the knife in her hand had already been taken away.
"Yu, I knew you’d try to make a move against . Tell , why are you always guarding yourself against ?" He clearly resented the situation deeply in his heart.
Without her weapon, Ji Yu began to panic.
"Jiang Huai, don’t make hate you for the rest of my life. We can take things slow. I haven’t said anything unreasonable. I just hope you’ll understand—once my father recovers, I’ll be with you."
Tears stread down her face.
It was the one sight Jiang Huai couldn’t bear.
Yet now, he truly seed on the verge of madness.
"Yu, what are you thinking? Look at . Look at how much I care for you. Why can’t you accept now? Even if you’re with now, I would never hurt you or ignore Uncle Hu."
His words sounded determined, but Ji Yu felt his promises were far from convincing.
Their relationship had deteriorated to such a bad state—how could there still be a chance?
"Jiang Huai, stop acting like this. If you keep this up, I’ll lose it. When that happens, even I won’t know what I’ll do."
Jiang Huai said nothing further. Just when he wanted to press on, he suddenly felt a splitting pain on the back of his head and passed out cold.
Ji Yu stared blankly at the scene before her.
Only then did she realize that Ji Yuanzhou had arrived at so point.
A wine bottle was in his hand—it seed he had just acted.
"Yu, are you okay?" Ji Yuanzhou looked concerned, afraid she might be frightened.
Ji Yu shook her head. "I’m fine, but now that he’s been attacked, will he still help with my dad’s situation?"
Sotis she really felt stuck between a rock and a hard place.
"Yu, he will definitely handle it. He couldn’t bear to just let go of you like this." Ji Yuanzhou understood Jiang Huai’s feelings.
anwhile, there was sothing more urgent they needed to focus on.
Ji Yu tried to suppress her chaotic emotions, realizing it was best to remain calm under the circumstances.
"Yu, are you still feeling unsettled? If you’re upset, just scream at him or hit him. Whatever you do, don’t hold it in."
At this stage, there was no point in rushing.
"I don’t want to do anything like that. I just feel like everything happening right now is suffocating. Stuck in the middle, everything feels impossibly difficult."
She hadn’t always been this way.
"Yu, this isn’t your fault. You didn’t concern yourself with these things in the past. But now, you care."
If Ji Yu had no attachnts, she’d still be the carefree Ji Yu from before. But now, she had people she cared about deeply, family she couldn’t ignore, and she had to act in such a way.
Ji Yu felt a deep pang in her heart. "Yes, I truly do care now."
Not just Hu Jianyu but also Feng Qinqin and the others.
"Forget it, let’s not think about this for now. He’s already been hit; whatever cos next, we’ll deal with it later. Let’s talk about Qinqin’s situation instead—did you find anything today?"
Previously, they had already speculated that this matter was likely connected to the Feng family’s uncles and elders.
"Qinqin’s second uncle has been acting rather suspicious lately. I don’t know if it’s him, but his behavior is definitely unusual."
"Then we’ll start with him. If it’s not him, we’ll dig into soone else. I refuse to believe that they’d dare to kill soone now." Ji Yu took a deep breath, deciding her next course of action.
"Alright, but you need to stay safe. I don’t want anything happening to you." Ji Yuanzhou, despite caring about Feng Qinqin’s situation, never wanted Ji Yu to take unnecessary risks.
Ji Yu smiled, feeling that the situation wasn’t as unbearable as she’d imagined. "Considering everything, they probably wouldn’t dare to touch right now. Even if Jiang Huai and I aren’t on good terms, they’d still hesitate to act because of his involvent."
