Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Du Jiuyuan understood why Ji Jingchen left in such a hurry. Not only did he have to deal with his company, but he was also afraid that he would end up saying things that he regretted.

Until now, Ji Jingchen still had not given up on the idea of holding a wedding. He had even invited Du Jiuyuan’s aunt over for the wedding.

“That woman hasn’t left yet? Why is she still in the Ji family?” After Ji Jingchen left, Du Ling asked Du Jiuyuan about Tang Yingxue.

“She’s Madam Ji’s adopted daughter. Perhaps she considers herself to be the daughter-in-law as well.” Du Jiuyuan did not hide anything from Du Ling.

“You’ve registered your marriage with Ji Jingchen for a few years, but she still hasn’t left yet?” Du Ling felt that Du Jiuyuan had suffered a hard time in the Ji family, which was why she was so angry at Madam Ji earlier.

“That’s not important. What’s important is that I want a divorce.” Du Jiuyuan’s gaze was firm, and so was her tone.

“I didn’t ask you just now. Why do you want a divorce? Is it because of that little girl? Don’t worry, the old woman can’t deal with me, neither can the young one.” Du Ling’s tone was fiery, it was a good thing that she did not make a move earlier.

“It has nothing to do with them.” It is true that over the years, Tang Yingxue had bullied Du Jiuyuan many times, including the fact that she had always boasted that she coveted Ji Jingchen. Yet, Du Jiuyuan’s decision had nothing to do with her.

What Du Jiuyuan cared about the most was Ji Jingchen’s attitude. He had disappointed her time and time again.

“In that case, could it be that that kid, Ji Jingchen, bullied you? Yuanyuan, you must remember that our Du family is definitely not a family who will tolerate any bullying...” Du Ling had always been like this, and she sincerely treated Du Jiuyuan like her own daughter.

“This isn’t something that can be easily explained. Auntie, just remember that I must get a divorce at all costs. I have made up my mind.” Du Jiuyuan hoped that her aunt could understand, or in the very least, not do anything to stop her.

Du Ling immediately calmed down. She understood that Du Jiuyuan must have suffered a great injustice.

‘This child had always been sensible since she was young. She would definitely not cause such a ruckus for no reason.’

“If you can’t explain it in a simple manner, then tell me slowly. Yuanyuan, you need to tell me what exactly happened.” Du Ling sat by the bedside and spoke in a gentle tone. She did not look like the same person as before.

All these years, Du Jiuyuan had only reported the good news to her only family member. Not a single bad news was ever shared. Because of this, Du Ling had assumed that Du Jiuyuan was living a happy life in the Ji family.

However, as someone who had experienced it before, Du Ling completely understood that life was not always smooth-sailing.

It was just that she never expected that Du Jiuyuan and Ji Jingchen would already have such a huge rift between them.

...

Within the next half hour, Du Jiuyuan calmly revealed the truth about her torturous years in the Ji family. She did not add any exaggerations to her story. She was so calm that it was as if she was telling someone else’s story instead.

Hearing her story, Du Ling became livid. She did not expect her niece to suffer so much injustice in the Ji family.

“Yuanyuan, stay here. I’m going to the Ji family to give them a piece of my mind. How dare they treat a member of our Du family unjustly. Grandfather is gone, but I’m still here! I’m going to seek justice for you!” Du Ling stood up, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to leave.

“Auntie, I can’t go through this divorce alone. Are you going to leave me alone?” Du Jiuyuan knew full well about her aunt’s temper, so she could only show weakness to dissuade the woman.

“Yuanyuan, don’t tell me you can’t bear to leave that man! I’m definitely going to meet the Ji family today to seek justice for you.” Du Ling understood Du Jiuyuan’s character. Du Jiuyuan would never show weakness without a cause.

Even if she really could not do it alone, she would not say a word.

“Auntie, there’s no need for that. Besides, knowing Ji Jingchen’s character, even if you go and teach Mrs. Ji a lesson, he would still continue with the wedding as per schedule.” Du Jiuyuan was clear about this point.

She had used up her chance to escape. Now, she could only act according to the circumstances.

Du Ling was puzzled. Du Jiuyuan pointed at the door of the ward. Du Ling was shocked when she opened it. There were four bodyguards standing outside.

“Ji Jingchen still has a lot of bodyguards lingering around. If I want a divorce, I can only rely on Grandmother Ji.” In the entire Ji family, only Grandmother Ji had ever shown a hint of warmth to Du Jiuyuan.

Since Ji Jingchen was in such a hurry to hold the wedding,?Grandmother Ji must be coming back soon. The only thing they could do now was to delay the date.

“Back then, Grandmother Ji went to Zhongshan to help with grandfather’s funeral. I thought that she would treat you well because of our many years of friendship, thus I agreed to her idea of taking you away to be raised. I did not expect you to suffer such grievances...” Du Ling could not help but remark.

She should have insisted on Du Jiuyuan to remain with her. As it was, the wound in Du Jiuyuan’s heart was greater than the ones on her body right now.

“But, Ji Jingchen is her biological grandson. Will Grandmother Ji choose to help you?” Du Ling calmed down when she saw Du Jiuyuan’s pale face.. She was a little worried for her only niece.
