"Jian Xi! It’s all your fault I ended up like this, isn’t it?"
It wasn’t an illusion; the last ti she fainted, she had seen Jian Xi!
Jiang Qing struggled to get up from the ground, her fierce face filled with resentnt. "You know Sernosen, don’t you? Him torturing like this was orchestrated by you, right?"
She laughed bitterly. "To think I was outsmarted by you despite being clever all my life!"
Jiang Qing staggered to her feet, pointing and raging at Jian Xi, "I’m going to tell Yuhan! I’ll tell everyone how you, this vicious woman, have ruined !"
As she was about to pounce, a large hand pushed her away.
Jian Sirun, his tall figure standing before Jian Xi in a protective stance, lifted his gold-rimd glasses and looked at her. "Are you alright?"
Jian Xi shook her head and cunningly hid behind her Fourth Brother, sweet-talking him. "How could I possibly get hurt in your territory?"
She had always been doted on by her brothers!
Jiang Qing roared as if she had gone mad. "Why do you all favor this little wretch so much! I’ll have Yuhan kill you for daring to treat this way!"
As she charged forward again, Jian Xi no longer held back. Stepping past her Fourth Brother, she harshly slapped Jiang Qing on both cheeks. "Jiang Qing, get it straight! You’re in my hands now, yet you still dare to be so arrogant!"
Jiang Qing stared at Jian Xi in disbelief. "You dare to hit ?"
"What, do I need to pick a special day to hit you?" Jian Xi said viciously, landing another slap. "These slaps today are to teach you how to behave. Don’t think you can be so unbridled just because you have Si Yuhuan backing you up."
Jian Xi twisted her sore wrist. Those slaps had taken all her strength.
Jiang Qing’s cheeks were already swollen. "You dare to hit ? I’ll fight you to the death!"
From a distance, Si Yuhuan ca over. Seeing Jiang Qing in a sorry state, attacking Jian Xi like a madwoman, he pushed Jiang Qing aside without a second thought and instinctively protected Jian Xi. Frowning, he scolded, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Qing felt like she was choking on her own rage.
One by one, they were all defending Jian Xi!
Where was she lacking?
"Yuhan! Jian Xi and this man are shalessly colluding! They’re in cahoots, and Jian Xi is having an affair with him! They deliberately used for drug testing and made end up like this! BOO HOO HOO! Look at , there’s not a single part of that isn’t bruised!"
Jian Xi imdiately retorted with feigned, white-lotus-like shock, "How can you spout such nonsense! I just ca to ask Dr. Sernosen about the surgical procedure for Grandpa. That’s when I ran into you, and you started hitting ! What a miscarriage of justice!"
When Si Yuhuan heard this, a sense of warmth flowed through his heart. Even though they were already divorced, she still cared so much about Grandpa.
Besides, the man standing before him was no ordinary doctor; it was clearly Jian Xi’s Fourth Brother, Jian Sirun, the renowned genius doctor. Jiang Qing, clueless about the situation, was slandering him without a second thought.
He felt quite ashad. Awkwardly, he bowed his head and called out, "Fourth Brother."
Jiang Qing stared at Jian Xi in disbelief.
In front of her, Jian Xi linked arms with Jian Sirun. "Did you hear that? This is my Fourth Brother!"
That one sentence made Si Yuhuan question how many tis he had misunderstood Jian Xi for no reason, and he felt sowhat guilty.
He turned to Jiang Qing with a stern face. "Just now, you were indeed about to hit Jian Xi. Even if you’ve contributed and suffered by testing drugs for Grandpa, you can’t be too overbearing!"
"I’m overbearing?" Jiang Qing was furious.
She glared at Jian Xi with venom. That woman was too good at pretending!
Jian Xi deliberately arched her eyebrows provocatively; her clear, bright eyes were filled with defiance.
Fighting magic with magic felt just too good.
"Jian Xi, I’ll tear your mouth apart!" Jiang Qing, enraged, charged again.
Si Yuhuan restrained her arm. "Jiang Qing, snap out of it!"
"Si Yuhuan, can’t you see? She did it on purpose! AHHH! I beca like this because of her! I won’t test this dicine anymore!"
Jian Sirun said coolly from the side, "Once the pharmaceutical trial has started, it cannot be stopped. Otherwise, you will have to pay a hefty penalty for breach of contract—two billion."
As he spoke, he took out an agreent.
Jiang Qing looked. It was the very pledge she had made to Sernosen a few days earlier to please Si Yuhuan.
She was truly going to be the death of herself with her own stupidity.
Jian Xi added from the side, "Paying the penalty is a small matter, but who will take responsibility if sothing happens to Grandpa because of a problem with the drug?"
Si Yuhuan’s heavy gaze fell upon Jiang Qing, pressuring her. "ngng, I hope you can stop making trouble. Just endure it a bit longer."
Jiang Qing was truly driven to madness. What was this? Was she being forced into an impossible situation?
It was as if she was being tied to a stake and roasted alive!
"Jian Xi!" She clenched her teeth, her eyes bloodshot like a madwoman’s. She wished she could tear Jian Xi to pieces and eat her alive.
Jian Xi sighed and, with so sympathy, patted her on the shoulder. "I know you loathe and wish you could kill , but that’s fate! You have to perform well! Future Mrs. Si, you need to keep it up. Good luck."
Jiang Qing was so overco with anger she almost vomited blood.
Jian Sirun reminded her, "My apprentice said you still have three doses of the dicine to test."
Jiang Qing trembled all over, as if staring into the depths of hell. "Yuhan! Yuhan, save ! I can’t test the dicine anymore! I..."
As the dicine was injected, Jiang Qing scread in agony, her heart-rending cries soaring to the heavens.
Si Yuhuan frowned tightly and turned to leave.
Jian Sirun’s lips curved into a cold smile as he continued the injection.
「Monts later.」
The man chased out and grabbed Jian Xi’s arm.
"What? Director Si, are you hesitating, with sothing you want to ask?" Jian Xi slapped his hand away, rubbing her palm. Those slaps earlier had been quite satisfying, but they really did hurt.
"Your Fourth Brother...?" Si Yuhuan finally couldn’t hold back and asked.
Jian Xi scoffed coldly. "Director Si, you need to be clear on two things. One, we are already divorced. I am free to do whatever I want and don’t need to explain anything to you. Two, my Fourth Brother is a very professional and talented doctor. With Grandpa in such critical condition, I couldn’t possibly not ask him to return and help."
Her delicate face clearly conveyed, ’I’m not familiar with you, please keep your distance,’ which greatly annoyed Si Yuhuan.
"Do you really need to speak to like this?"
Just monts ago, he had been touched by her kindness in asking Jian Sirun to rush back to the country.
Jian Xi articulated every word, "It’s very necessary. Otherwise, I’m afraid Director Si might forget that you and I are, at most, familiar strangers now."
She flicked her hair and strode away.
Yan Qing approached awkwardly and reminded him, "Boss, we should head to the hospital. The Old Master’s surgery is about to start."
"You go back first. Don’t worry about ."
Jian Xi had just turned a corner in her car when a figure suddenly appeared. Startled, she slamd on the brakes. The sports car’s excellent performance brought it to an instant halt. She widened her eyes, and upon seeing Si Yuhuan, she exploded, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"
Didn’t this man realize how dangerous that was!
If she hadn’t braked in ti, the consequences would have been unthinkable!
