Chapter 9

u can't afford to pay for a single strand of her hair!"Wong the manager was dumbfounded. What a Miss Ho, she clearly said her surname was Fu!No, the Huo family, the Huo family has a daughter-in-law fr...The doctor gave Fu Yan a full body check up.

Pushing the curtains open, I gazed at the tall man standing on the sofa in front of me. I took a deep breath before walking towards him, accompanied by the nurse.

This is the Huo family's hospital, Huo Mingzheng is their big boss, and the doctors know it.

This man is young, under thirty years old, yet he has taken over the Huo family. His status is noble, his aura is particularly strong, and he gives off an air of aloofness that scares many people away.

When he brought the woman in just now, his face was so pale and terrifying.

"Mr. Huo, the check-up is complete. There are no other injuries. He's just extremely fatigued from high mental stress and fell asleep."

Ho Mingzheng hummed softly, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes. He glanced at Fu Yanlang's dishevelled appearance, her face pale with tears and her hair tousled.

The nurse reapplied medicine to the wounds on his neck and hands, and covered them with clean bandages.

She slept soundly, her chest rising and falling slightly. The commotion here didn't affect her in the slightest.

Fu Yan is not someone who easily trusts others; she has a personality that lacks security from a young age. Who gave her a sense of security at this moment, allowing her to fall asleep without any defenses

Ji Lin heard that nothing was wrong, and wanted to go past and take Fu Yan away, but Cao Fang stopped him with a hand. "Young Master Ji, Mr. Huo hasn't spoken yet."

"Well then, should we have to wait for him to speak before discussing matters concerning our own family" Ji Lin glared coldly at them.

"Yes," Cao Fang replied respectfully, with a serious expression and not revealing anything.

Ji Lin was just about to lose his temper and push Cao Fang away, but Cao Fang reminded him, "There's a World Championship in a week. Ji Shao, are you really going to fight me If you get hurt, it will affect your game."

"Threatening me, are you"

Ji Lin's dedication to the competition is evident in his presence at the arena even this late, practicing diligently. His desire for a gold medal to validate his worth is palpable.

He ripped off his gloves and slammed them on the side, "Let's put it this way, you guys have wasted my hand today, and I'm taking Fu Yan away."

" Huo Mingzheng, don't push me to say something harsh. In a month you're getting engaged, don't make Fu Yan end up disgraced and ruined."

"Her." Ji Lin pointed at Fu Yan, who was lying quietly asleep on the hospital bed. Just thinking about it made him feel sorry for her.

You know how much she's hurting inside, please don't rub salt in her wounds.

Ji Lin knows better than anyone how much Fu Yan likes Huo Mingzheng. From the moment she first fell for him and shared her secrets with him, Ji Lin started to feel sorry for her carefulness.

If it weren't for the fact that she liked Huo Mingzheng so much, he would have fought Huo Mingzheng to defend his brother.

Cao Fang still wanted to stop Ji Lin, but Huo Mingzheng strode over and picked up Fu Yan, holding her in his arms.

Fu Yan's soft face was pressed against his chest, completely unaware of what had happened.

He glanced at Ji Lin, his voice cold and warning: "She belongs to the Huo family. Don't call her 'your Fu Yan'."

Ji Lin's chest felt tight with frustration. "That's all he heard after I spoke for so long!"

"Seeing him about to take Fu Yan away, Ji Lin cried out urgently, “ Huo Mingzheng you..."

"Mister Ji, Mr. Huo wouldn't harm Miss Fu." Cao Fang stopped him, one hand seemingly casually resting on his wrist, but in reality he exerted a subtle force that wouldn't hurt him.

By the time he managed to break free from Cao Fang, Huo Mingzheng's carriage had already left.

Behind him, Cao Fang was eyeing him hungrily, wary of him pursuing.

"Ai..." Ji Lin rubbed his messy hair, sighing to the night sky. "Yan'er, how did you end up with such a man May fortune smile upon you."

......

Fu Yan slept until the afternoon of the second day before waking up. Her whole body ached as if it had been crushed by a heavy object, she was almost falling apart.

She rolled over and almost died of pain.

It took her a while to remember what had happened last night. All these aches and pains were from several times she had bumped into the door.

After the ordeal, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Took out the phone from the bedside table, just about to call Ji Lin when the phone rang. It was Ji Lin calling.

"Yan'er, you're awake"

"Hmm," Fu Yan gave a nasal sound.

Where are you now

Fu Yan had a puzzled look on her face, “Home Wasn't it you who sent me back”

There was a pause on the other end of the phone. Ji Lin said something Fu Yan didn't understand, "At least he still has some conscience."

Before she could ask, Ji Lin asked her, "Are you hungry I'm packing food for you. Wait ten more minutes, sister."

After finishing his words, Ji Lin hung up the phone.

No wonder it was so noisy over there, he was packing things.

Fu Yan took her phone and rolled over, almost wincing in pain again, but still managed to sit up.

The blanket slipped, revealing her pajamas. She was startled.

Although she and Ji Lin are siblings, Ji Lin still knows his limits. He wouldn't be able to do something like changing clothes.

She was puzzled, so she got up and opened the door to her room.

The entrance hall is clean and tidy.

Last night, things were a complete mess.

Even this young master wouldn't be capable of such a thing.

As soon as she recalled what Ji Lin had said over the phone, she understood immediately.

He sent her back.

Her thoughts started churning again, and she couldn't hold back any longer, her nose felt a sting.

Last night she wanted to ask him, with a cold eye watching on, what would happen if Chen Rang violated her

Now that I think about it, I'm glad I didn't ask. Otherwise, I would have embarrassed myself.

None of that matters, what's important is that Huo Mingzheng wants to teach her a lesson.

>Season's greetings come quickly.

Before she came to Nánchéng, Fù Yān lived in Guǎngchéng. Even after all these years, she still loves the street food from Guǎngchéng and can't forget her father. She keeps his memory alive in this way.

Ji Lin bought everything that Fu Yan liked to eat. She had a poor appetite and only managed to eat a little. Ji Lin sat beside her, drinking plain water to keep her company.

He is an athlete and doesn't easily touch things outside of his sport.

"Chen Rang's injury assessment is out, it's self-defense." Ji Lin picked up his chopsticks and put a dumpling in her bowl.

Fu Yan nodded slightly, she had a grasp of the situation in her heart.

"Now that it's been determined, what happens next has nothing to do with you." Ji Lin put down his water bottle, a glint in his eyes flashing past.

Fu Yan was taken aback. This was the expression Ji Lin wore when he wanted to do something bad, “What do you want to do”

“It's nothing, I wanted to beat him up at first, but there were policemen around, so I couldn't be too blatant. I just had someone put something in his food, making him lie in bed and experience the feeling of desperately needing to use the toilet. He probably went to the bathroom ten times that day, pulling at his abdominal wound with every trip. It should have been fun for him.”

Fu Yan couldn't hold back, imagining the scene and bursting into laughter. A mischievous glint appeared in her eyes, "Then you have to up your game, make him both hurt and humiliated."

Seeing her smile, Ji Lin let out a breath of relief inside. He was afraid she had been scared to the point of holding back.

He then told Fu Yan another good news.

The police started investigating him, digging up his whole past. This piece of trash has been committing crimes for years; he's probably going to spend the next decade or so in jail.

The police wouldn't easily investigate, the Chen family was also influential and well-connected, if the family wanted to protect themselves, there were still ways. Fu Yan knew this very well.

"Did you speak" The Ji family's influence was several streets ahead of the Chen family.

Ji Lin shook his head. “I was just thinking that, someone kicked me from the front.”

"Who"

Ji Lin looked at her meaningfully.asn't Huo Mingzheng who was in trouble, his second reaction was that he thought the woman was Shen Wei and immediately frowned, but when he saw that it was Fu Yan, his brows furrowed even deeper."What...
