Chapter 115: Someone wants to go to Peking University
At this point, the conversation has basically torn the skin with the other party.
Since Ji Yunqi knew Gu Ming’s plan, she had no intention of ending this matter on a good note. Since these scumbags regarded her as a tool for a political marriage, why should she still give them a good face?
“What are you talking about? Apologize to Xia Lei quickly. What nonsense are you talking about every day?”
Ji Yunqi leaned on the sofa, looking at the somewhat anxious Gu Ming with a playful gaze, a strange expression on her lips.
“You want to use me as a tool, why should I give you a good face?”
“Heh…”
“As my Gu family’s daughter, it is your duty to fight for benefits for the Gu family.”
When Gu Ming said this, his eyes became fierce. His strong desire for control did not allow anyone to escape his grasp.
In his opinion, since Ji Yunqi was his bloodline, it was her duty to return home and fight for benefits for the Gu family. She had no reason to refuse.
“What you said is really interesting. A few days ago, we were strangers. After knowing each other for only two days, you want me to sacrifice myself for you. Why?”
“Just because I’m your father. Parents’ orders and matchmaker’s words, why shouldn’t you listen?”
Ji Yunqi was so angry that she almost laughed when she heard this. What kind of talk was this? Was this person really the boss of such a large company? Why did he seem so brainless?
“If you want me to fight for benefits for the Gu family, you should at least let me enjoy the resources of the Gu family. But I have never received any help from the Gu family, so why should I help the Gu family fight for benefits?”
Ji Yunqi really didn’t want to talk to Gu Ming anymore. This person was completely brain damaged.
If she had been raised by the Gu family all along, then in this situation, it would have been understandable for her to sacrifice herself for the Gu family to gain benefits.
After all, enjoying the resources and giving back accordingly was an unspoken rule within wealthy and powerful families. If it were like this, she would have accepted it.
But the situation was completely different!
She had never enjoyed any of this, but these scumbags immediately wanted her to help them fight for benefits, and then asked her why she refused.
“You…” Gu Ming was completely speechless. He even felt that he was somewhat in the wrong.
But since things had reached this point, he couldn’t back down. If he backed down now, how would he maintain his reputation in the future?
“Yu Wei, have someone send Miss home and take good care of her. Remember, don’t let her go out, lest she get hurt!”
“Okay, Boss.”
As soon as the words fell, Ji Yunqi saw the assistant from before leading several tall and strong “suit thugs” into the office, all of them looking at her expressionlessly.
It was as if she wasn’t a person, but just an object.
Ji Yunqi instinctively clenched her fists.
If there were only a few people originally, she could have escaped using her combat skills, but now…
Let alone the fact that she was a pregnant woman now, even in her prime, she wouldn’t be confident in escaping when surrounded by so many burly men.
Judging by the situation, Ji Yunqi probably knew what Gu Ming intended to do. He probably wanted to lock her up in a room.
But so what? Ji Yunqi didn’t believe he could keep her locked up forever.
What a joke!
With decades of experience, although Ji Yunqi hadn’t achieved anything significant, her mindset was exceptionally good. Even in the face of being locked up, she was not afraid at all.
At worst, she’d wait a while before escaping. What a big deal!
She was carrying a child, and these people wouldn’t dare to do anything to her and the child. Thinking of this, Ji Yunqi felt somewhat indifferent.
However, it would be best if she could escape as soon as possible. It seemed she still had to think of a way to leave quickly.
These people, just looking at them, made her feel disgusted.
“Heh, that’s all the ability you have.” Leaving a harsh remark, Ji Yunqi reluctantly followed these people.
At present, the only thing she could do was to leave behind harsh words. Apart from that, there was nothing else. She was a pregnant woman, and she couldn’t fight these people head-on.
After Ji Yunqi left, Gu Ming and the other two sat down to discuss what to do next.
At this stage, to break through the encirclement, unity was inevitable, and to unite with justification, a political marriage was necessary.
So, it seemed there was no other way…
“Xia Lei, you’ve been wronged this time.”
Although Xia Lei felt unwilling and dissatisfied, he also knew he had no choice. Even though this person already had someone else’s child, he could only do as he was told.
Growing up, Xia Lei had never thought that he would become a “second-hand buyer”…
“Brother Gu, I’m asking, can we…” Xia Yuan didn’t finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.
Gu Ming frowned, looking unhappily at the old man in front of him. Why was this person so out of touch?
Can’t he see the situation? The best situation now is to force Ji Yunqi to marry in her current state. The child cannot be touched.
If the child were fine, they could force her to marry, and then it would be a done deal, and no one could do anything about it.
At that time, everything would be a family matter, and outsiders could not interfere, nor would the police have much room to meddle.
But once the child was gone, things would become a big deal. He also knew that Ji Yunqi had just been brought back. If anything happened to the child, it would be leaving a handle for no reason, and they would be the prime suspects.
The kind that could never be cleared…
“No, it would be leaving a handle for no reason. Xia Lei can take this loss.”
“Sigh…”
In the end, Xia Lei compromised. There was no other way. Perhaps the only consolation was that Ji Yunqi’s appearance was quite beautiful.
………
The assistant and his group sent Ji Yunqi back to her room and did not leave. Instead, they began to patrol the surroundings.
Ji Yunqi looked down at the group of bastards through the window. She hadn’t expected these guys to look so presentable. She thought they were a disorganized mob, and she could escape with a little strategy.
As a result, these guys actually had some scale. At least the patrol area had no blind spots, which made Ji Yunqi unable to find an opportunity to escape.
“Heh, after so many years, there’s still a day to contest with people.”
Facing this situation where her escape route was completely blocked, Ji Yunqi was not flustered at all, because she still had a trump card!
However, speaking of which, was what Lao Bi Deng said true?
Ji Yunqi remained skeptical.
Previously, when her father-in-law was talking, he said that if she caused any trouble in Kyoto, she could find him for help. However, neither her father-in-law, mother-in-law, nor her wife had ever told her what kind of identity her father-in-law had in Kyoto. From her recent inquiries in Kyoto, it seemed that there were no prominent Ye families in Kyoto.
Could it be that Lao Bi Deng just wanted to establish his presence with herself?
But that didn’t seem right either. Given Ye Lingyu’s personality, although he was a bit of an old child, he wouldn’t exaggerate when it came to promises.
Moreover, when she asked her father-in-law about the Gu family last time, her father-in-law’s eyes were full of indifference.
This way…
It seemed she had underestimated her father-in-law.
“Sigh…”
Ji Yunqi sighed slightly. It seemed she still had to rely on this “soft rice” she was eating, otherwise, it would be difficult to escape on her own.
But she could also observe the situation first. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law were still playing in Rongcheng, so she would wait until they returned.
She hoped that her father-in-law’s identity would give Gu Ming some face, otherwise, this matter would be difficult to resolve.
At the same time, at the Xia family…
In the hall…
“Dad, what do you mean? For Xia Lei to marry a pregnant woman home, what, buy one get one free?”
A middle-aged woman in an elegant dress sat on the sofa, looking at Xia Yuan, who was in the head seat, with great dissatisfaction.
How could her son marry a used woman, and she was pregnant? Even if the child was aborted, she would still feel disgusted. How could such a woman be worthy?
Xia Yuan’s brow furrowed. This was not the first time he regretted not teaching his daughter well when she was young. As a result, even though she was decades old now.
Her mind was still like a child’s. She always took things for granted. She felt that it should be as she thought it was.
If he had a choice, would he be unwilling to choose a good daughter-in-law for Xia Lei? But now there was no choice!
If they delayed any longer, the entire Xia family would be completely devoured, and then their entire family would probably be thrown out.
“Stop arguing! We have no choice now, and this is the only way.”
“Dad, Xia Lei is only 22 years old. He has a great future ahead of him. If it gets out that he’s raising someone else’s child, what does that mean? Wouldn’t that be a disgrace to our Xia family?”
“Hmph!”
Xia Yuan was also getting angry now. He was already unhappy today. Not only was his original plan completely disrupted, but his good daughter was also pressuring him.
“Then let’s treat that child as our Xia family’s child and take care of them, and then others won’t know?”
“Dad… you…”
“Shut up!”
Xia Pingyun wanted to say something more, but Xia Yuan was already angry. Even she did not dare to say anything more.
The thought of her son marrying a used woman made her furious. Since she couldn’t stop all of this from happening, she could only wait until she married into the family to properly deal with her!
In just a moment, Xia Pingyun had already thought of countless ways to trouble this “daughter-in-law”!
“Anyway, we have to be quick, otherwise we’re really doomed.” Xia Yuan’s eyes gradually became firm.
“Dad, you mean…”
“That’s right, the plan is brought forward, we won’t wait any longer, let them have the wedding directly. With so many people witnessing it, I don’t believe that girl can still run away?”
Xia Pingyun also revealed a sinister smile: “Good, good, just in time, I can go and meet her in advance.”
………
Time passed by the second…
In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed…
For the past few days, Ji Yunqi had been confined to her room. The entire courtyard was always patrolled, and they hadn’t found any loopholes at all.
Ji Yunqi was now sitting on a chair by the window, playing with a jade-green cane in her hand, looking at the black-clad men walking around below…
“Aren’t these people tired? They’ve been watching me for several days…”
For some reason, Ji Yunqi now really wanted to fight someone. She was confined here and was getting quite annoyed, and desperately needed a sandbag to vent her anger.
The key is that all these black-clad men were burly men, and she couldn’t beat any of them.
At this moment, Ji Yunqi wished Gu Yunzhi would provoke her. The problem was that this girl had just brought her food these past few days and then ran away.
She even came with a smiling face, which made Ji Yunqi feel a little embarrassed to hit her…
Click…
As the room door was opened, Gu Ming’s figure appeared at the doorway.
Ji Yunqi heard the sound and turned her head, but she remained slumped in the chair, with no intention of getting up.
“Say what you want, spit it out.”
“You… Hmph…” For the sake of the overall situation, Gu Ming still held back and didn’t say anything. Anyway, once she was married off, he would be free.
At that time, there would always be a wicked mother-in-law to discipline her. Let’s see if this girl could still be so arrogant then.
“Follow me.”
“Go where?”
“To your future in-laws’, to meet your future mother-in-law.”
Ji Yunqi was slightly stunned. Future mother-in-law? She was going to be married off so soon? Then she would have to ask Lao Bi Deng tonight.
But…
Future mother-in-law, isn’t that the mother of that Xia Lei kid? Someone who could raise a talent like Xia Lei was probably also a scoundrel.
Calling her over was probably to give this so-called future mother-in-law a show of dominance, right?
Ji Yunqi was no longer nervous, but rather a little excited.
As expected, with his wife not by his side, even though he was a woman now, it couldn’t change the impulse in his heart.
Just now, she was thinking about where to get a sandbag, and here it was, delivered to her doorstep!
Didn’t she have a legitimate reason to beat someone up?
She couldn’t beat those burly men outside, but could she, a noble lady, not beat them?
No matter what kind of woman, as long as she wasn’t a professional fitness enthusiast… a “King Kong Barbie,” she could beat them!
Moreover, she was pregnant now. Even if she injured someone, she would have an excuse and a reason to say she had pregnancy anxiety. After all… who would dare to openly oppose a pregnant woman?
“Hehehe~”
“You… What are you smiling about?” Gu Ming was startled by Ji Yunqi’s sudden sinister smile. Could it be that she had gone mentally wrong from being locked up for too long?
“It’s nothing. When are we leaving?”
“Right now.”
“Then what are you waiting for? Let’s go~”
Before Gu Ming could say “let’s go,” Ji Yunqi had already grabbed the jade-green cane in her hand and walked towards the outside.
Watching Ji Yunqi leave so nonchalantly, Gu Ming was dumbfounded. Wasn’t she refusing to marry? Why was she so eager now?
Could it be…
She had thought it through?
If that were the case, it would be great, saving him a lot of trouble.
However, he still had a lot of things to do today, so he could only have someone send her over to talk to Xia Pingyun alone.
This time, with no one to help Ji Yunqi, Gu Ming truly didn’t believe that Xia Pingyun couldn’t handle this stubborn girl.
After all, Xia Pingyun had confidently said yesterday that she could discipline Ji Yunqi, and specifically asked him to send Ji Yunqi over.
“Send her over.”
The driver looked at Ji Yunqi, who was resting with her eyes closed in the back seat, then looked at his boss, and finally sighed helplessly.
Although he felt some sympathy for Miss’s situation, he couldn’t disobey his boss’s orders and had to do as he was told.
As the car slowly drove away from the courtyard, Ji Yunqi also slowly opened her eyes.
Looking at the bustling traffic outside the car, normally, at this time, Ji Yunqi, as a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken, should be very nervous facing the prospect of being disciplined by a wicked mother-in-law.
However, she didn’t feel the slightest bit of nervousness. Instead, she felt… expectant and excited!
She even couldn’t wait to meet this wicked mother-in-law.
“Heh heh…”
Hearing a strange sound from the back seat, the driver, driven by curiosity, looked through the rearview mirror and saw a scene that made him tremble with fear.
In the rearview mirror, Ji Yunqi seemed to have no idea what she was doing, with an extremely bizarre and crazy expression on her face.
She looked like she was about to eat people.
As expected!
He knew it. He shouldn’t have gotten involved in the circles of these wealthy families. It was too terrifying…
Half an hour later…
The car stopped in front of another villa. As Ji Yunqi got out of the car, the driver drove away without looking back.
“What are you doing? Why are you running so fast? I haven’t even asked when they’ll pick me up.”
Looking at the departing car, Ji Yunqi felt resentful. Was she that scary? Why did this person run away so quickly? If she were his boss, she would definitely deduct his salary.
Ji Yunqi rubbed her shoulders and tidied her clothes a little.
Ji Yunqi did not dress up deliberately today. She was wearing a slim-fit pair of jeans, white sneakers, and a white jacket.
Oh, right, and a jade-green cane in her hand.
[Referencing a certain person’s e-sports ancient god]
However, Ji Yunqi stood outside the door for a while without anyone coming to greet her. She already had a vague guess in her heart.
It seemed it was the same as she thought. This so-called Xia family was also rude. Ji Yunqi no longer had confidence in the character of these people.
She was now very glad that she brought this cane, otherwise, her hands would hurt if she had to fight later.
But now, since the driver had run away, he probably wouldn’t be back for a while. So, it seemed she could only go in.
Ji Yunqi was not hesitant. She took the jade-green cane in her hand, put it on her back, and swaggered in.
Although she was pregnant now, she was only one month pregnant, so she was no different from an ordinary person. It wouldn’t affect her when she made a move.
Moreover, if the child was lost just like that… then she could accept it. It could only prove that the child and she were temporarily not destined. However, this situation generally wouldn’t happen.
After all, during the hospital examination, the child was very healthy, with no problems at all.
Walking into the villa, she saw decorations that were completely different from the Gu family.
In the Gu family, the hall was decorated with exquisite simplicity. From the appearance, it was not too luxurious, more like a slightly more refined home.
This was also why Ji Yunqi did not feel very disgusted in the Gu family’s home. After all, the environment was very important to a person’s mindset. In such a fresh and elegant environment, people’s moods would also be better.
Unlike the Gu family, the Xia family’s hall did not require close inspection to see. Although it was not extremely luxurious, it could definitely be considered somewhat ostentatious.
Some decorations were clearly not authentic luxury goods, but they had to be replaced with fakes to act as pirated copies.
This ostentatious decoration style made Ji Yunqi dislike it. It was too flamboyant.
Tap…
Tap…
Tap…
As a sound of footsteps echoed, Ji Yunqi looked towards the sound and saw a noblewoman in a red dress descending the stairs, with a look of disdain on her face.
“Yo, you’re here, my good daughter-in-law~”
Hearing the word “daughter-in-law,” Ji Yunqi instinctively clenched her fists. Did she deserve the title of daughter-in-law?
“Sorry, you can still call me by my name.”
Xia Pingyun’s eyebrows furrowed. Calling her daughter-in-law was looking down on her, and this stubborn girl was so unappreciative. It seemed she really needed to be disciplined properly.
As Xia Pingyun walked down the stairs and sat on the sofa, she looked at Ji Yunqi, who was still standing: “Girl, help me get a glass of water.”
Ji Yunqi put on a gentle smile and nodded: “Okay.”
Seeing Ji Yunqi obediently going to get water, Xia Pingyun was very satisfied. What was so difficult to control? Wasn’t she disciplined instantly?
However, just as Xia Pingyun was about to take the glass of water from Ji Yunqi’s hand, her hand suddenly paused, and she pretended not to catch the glass of water.
But Ji Yunqi wasn’t fooled. She quickly retreated, and the whole glass of water was spilled on Xia Pingyun.
“Oh my! What are you doing?!” This turn of events was something Xia Pingyun hadn’t expected. Logically, this glass of water should have wet Ji Yunqi’s pants.
To her surprise, the other party reacted so quickly!
Ji Yunqi looked at Xia Pingyun’s face, which was about to turn red, and was delighted.
As expected, people still needed to find some fun for themselves to make life interesting. What was the point of staying cooped up in the house all day?
Ignoring Xia Pingyun’s roar, Ji Yunqi picked up another glass of her own water and sat on the other side of the sofa, putting her leg on the coffee table, appearing as arrogant as possible.
“You… Who allowed you to sit like this? Didn’t your parents teach you manners?”
“Heh…”
Ji Yunqi took a sip of water, completely disregarding these words. If it were anyone else who was spoken ill of their parents, they would probably get angry.
But she wouldn’t, because she didn’t have parents, and no one had ever taught her. But so what?
She didn’t know if she had manners, but she knew that if some people continued like this, they would be sent to Peking University.
“So what? What can you do to me?”
Ji Yunqi said this arrogantly in front of Xia Pingyun, appearing completely unlike a delicate pregnant woman.
As expected, Ji Yunqi’s words completely made Xia Pingyun’s face turn red. In so many years, no one had dared to oppose her like this!
Seeing Ji Yunqi’s small arms and legs, she immediately became spirited, stood up, and walked towards Ji Yunqi.
“I’m telling you, you little brat, there are only two of us here today, and there are no surveillance cameras either. I’ll teach you what rules are today!”
“Is that so~ Then it’s really…”
“Great!”
……………..
