Chapter 26: Temporary Alliance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This all happened because the man they adored had married Du Jiuyuan. Both Tang Yingxue and Li Ruyan, who looked down on each other, created a temporary alliance because of their love for Ji Jingchen.

“Brother Jingchen is going to be snatched away by Du Jiuyuan.” Tang Yingxue could only ask for Li Ruyan’s help. She really could not achieve victory alone.

She did not mention that Ji Jingchen had already asked her to leave the Ji family.

“She is taking full advantage of her status as the official wife. You’re really useless!” Li Ruyan, who was drinking coffee, sneered when she heard Tang Yingxue’s words.

“Don’t mock me. What should we do? Brother Jingchen still insists on having a wedding with her.” Tang Yingxue was patient and wanted Li Ruyan to make a move.

“Do you think the Ji family will accept a tainted woman?” Li Ruyan asked suggestively.

Tang Yingxue’s heart immediately rippled. Li Ruyan was right! The Ji family definitely would not accept a tainted woman..

Ji Jingchen didn’t send Du Jiuyuan back to the apartment. It was already late at night, so he brought her home.

“I don’t want to go back.” Du Jiuyuan didn’t get out of the car.

Jiang Cheng had called Ji Jingchen earlier to report on things that had happened. At the same time, he also mentioned a crucial point — Du Ling had already gone to sleep.

Du Jiuyuan then gave up on the idea of returning to the apartment, but she didn’t want to go back to the Ji family either.

The place was as depressing as ever. Five years of memories were still vivid in her mind. It was too painful.

“Don’t worry, I’m here.” Ji Jingchen had come back this time to deal with a few of the Ji family’s servants.

Previously, he would call the Ji family’s servants every few days to find out the situation at home.

More often than not, the news he received was that Du Jiuyuan had an argument with Madam Ji and Tang Yingxue. When Madam Ji called him, she told him about how Du Jiuyuan was bad, how she disobeyed her, and how she ran away from home.

Ji Jingchen knew that there was some falsehood in this, but he still reprimanded Du Jiuyuan. On one hand, he wanted her to tell him the truth, and on the other hand, he wanted her to be stronger.

However, Du Jiuyuan did not explain too much. Every time, she patiently listened to him obediently.

Over time, Ji Jingchen believed what the others in the family said.

In order to not make the situation any more awkward than it already was, Du Jiuyuan got out of the car and followed Ji Jingchen into the Ji family house once again.

Tang Yingxue and Madam Ji had not returned yet. When the butler saw Ji Jingchen, he came up to him with a smile, but when he saw Du Jiuyuan behind him, his disdain became obvious.

Ji Jingchen’s sharp eye caught this.

“Young Master, welcome back.” The butler called Uncle Fu only had Ji Jingchen in his eyes and completely ignored Du Jiuyuan.

“Don’t you see Young Madam?” Ji Jingchen put his hand behind his back and pulled Du Jiuyuan over.

“Hello, Young Madam.” Uncle Fu was a little surprised, but he still greeted nonetheless.

Usually, the servants of the Ji family treated Du Jiuyuan as an invisible person. They never showed her any respect, let alone lend her a helping hand.

Actually, it was not entirely their fault. Ji Jingchen had always been indifferent toward Du Jiuyuan. Coupled with Madam Ji’s instructions, over time, no one in the Ji family treated Du Jiuyuan respectfully.

“Uncle Fu, when I am not at home, have you ever acknowledged Young Madam?” Ji Jingchen motioned for Du Jiuyuan to go upstairs and glanced at Uncle Fu indifferently.

Uncle Fu kept silent and was slow to answer. This was a difficult question to answer. Moreover, Du Jiuyuan did not leave. She did not even shake off Ji Jingchen’s arm.

“Young Master, Madam said that this was all your idea.” In the end, Uncle Fu decided to reveal the truth. After all, Du Jiuyuan was here.

“Remember, in the future, Madam Ji is Du Jiuyuan while my mother-in-law is to be addressed as Old Madam Ji.”

In front of outsiders, this was normal and there was nothing wrong with it.

“Also, I never gave such instructions. Uncle Fu, I have your number. If there’s anything, I’ll directly communicate with you, understand?” Ji Jingchen didn’t probe further, but his tone warranted no arguments.

When Du Jiuyuan heard this, she did not want to listen any further. She patted Ji Jingchen’s shoulder and went upstairs alone.

“Go and call everyone over.”

Uncle Fu was afraid that Ji Jingchen would get angry, so he immediately called everyone over, including those who were already asleep.

“Hello, Young Master!” Certainly no one dared to express their complaints.

“I’ll only say this once. If you violate this rule, please leave the Ji family. Du Jiuyuan is my only wife, and she’s the matriarch of the Ji family. Do you understand?” Ji Jingchen rarely interacted with these people. That task was usually entrusted to Jiang Cheng.

“We understand.” Uncle Fu took the lead and everyone replied similarly to Ji Jingchen.

“If you leave the Ji family, don’t ever expect to find a job with similar pay anywhere else.” After Ji Jingchen said that, he went upstairs.

Only the servants were left standing there in fear. They knew very well how capable Ji Jingchen was.

In the future, they would really have to think twice about how to approach Du Jiuyuan.

Du Jiuyuan returned to her bedroom and changed into her pajamas. She was about to take a shower and go to bed when the phone rang. It was a call from an unknown number.

Du Jiuyuan rejected the call but the other party called again.
