Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Ji family held an important position in Hong Kong city, and Ji Jingchen himself was well known as a resolute and decisive person.
Today was the day of his wedding, but the bride broke off the engagement in public. This was undoubtedly a big slap to the Ji family and Ji Jingchen’s face.
The situation had been pushed to the point of no return.
Ji Jingchen was completely aware of what Du Jiuyuan was thinking, but he was adamant in his heart that he would not get a divorce.
“Emcee, exchange rings!” This was the next step in the wedding process, and Ji Jingchen chose to proceed directly.
The emcee did not move. The wedding had already turned into such an awkward situation, how could they exchange rings now?
Grandmother Ji below the stage stood up, feeling a little agitated. “Yuanyuan, what did you say?”
“I’m sorry, grandmother, I don’t want to marry him.” Du Jiuyuan’s tone was sincere and apologetic.
This was the only way she could do it, although it would deeply hurt Grandmother Ji, who had given her endless care and warmth.
“Do you know the consequences of doing this?” The old lady took a deep breath and questioned.
“I know. If I publicly break off the engagement and make the Ji family lose face, the Du and Ji families will fall out with each other.” If it was possible, Du Jiuyuan did not want to use this method.
“Even after realizing this, you’re still adamant in carrying on with it?” The old lady’s tone was cold, and her gaze seemed capable of dismembering someone.
“I’m sorry, grandmother, I want to divorce him.” Du Jiuyuan was very determined.
“Since you’re so arrogant and don’t know what’s good for you, I...” Before the old lady could finish her sentence, Ji Jingchen interrupted her.
“Grandmother, let me handle this...” Ji Jingchen understood what the old lady would say next, but before he could finish his words, he was rebuked by her.
“The Ji family doesn’t do things that would make life difficult for others. She doesn’t want to be your wife. Are you still going to force her?” The old lady shook her head, her eyes filled with disappointment.
“Since you’ve made up your mind, the Ji family won’t keep you!” After saying that, the old lady collapsed.
In an instant, everyone was shocked and quickly reached out to support her from falling.
Ji Jingchen’s expression changed, and he rushed toward Grandmother Ji.
Du Jiuyuan’s bouquet fell to the ground. She stood rooted to the ground and wanted to go forward to check on her grandmother, but she was stopped by the crowd.
“Thanks to your drama, even the old lady was angered to the point of fainting.” Old Madam Ji looked at Du Jiuyuan in disgust.
Du Jiuyuan followed her without caring about anything else. The scene fell into chaos and the other members of the Ji family also followed.
Only the man who had been peeping at the door of the lounge in the corner was calm. He sat in his original position and quietly drank red wine. It would be a pity to not drink such good wine.
“President, aren’t we leaving?” The secretary next to the man asked.
“Such an interesting scene. We haven’t seen enough. Why should we leave now?” The man leisurely poured himself another glass of wine.
The secretary remained silent.
“Help me investigate this woman. She actually rejected a marriage in public. How interesting!” The man put down the glass of wine and prepared to leave.
The emergency room of the hospital was full of people. Du Jiuyuan had just taken off her high heels, so she was now standing barefooted on the cold ground.
“You are not welcome here. You can leave.” Old Madam Ji chased Du Jiuyuan away.
No one knew what was going on inside. Everyone was staring at the emergency room worriedly.
“I will leave, but not now.” Du Jiuyuan never expected that Grandmother Ji would faint from anger.
She thought that if she rejected the marriage in public, Grandmother Ji would be disappointed and sad. She did not expect such an outcome.
“Don’t be so hypocritical. Grandmother fainted out of anger because of you.” Tang Yingxue pushed Du Jiuyuan to the ground.
Du Jiuyuan ignored her. She kept her eyes on the emergency room. The door eventually opened and a nurse walked out.
Tang Yingxue rushed over. “Nurse, nurse, how is my Grandmother?”
“Who’s Yuanyuan?” The nurse asked.
‘That old fart is still thinking about an outsider at a time like this!’ Madam Ji thought to herself.
Tang Yingxue’s face also turned a little awkward.
Du Jiuyuan walked forward. She was barefooted, and her wedding dress got a lot dirtier on the way here. Her hair was also messy and she currently looked like a worn out princess.
The nurse could not help but take another look at her.
“I am Yuanyuan.” Du Jiuyuan revealed her identity.
“The patient wants to see you. Come with me!”
Du Jiuyuan and the nurse entered the emergency room. Ji Jingchen took a step back and leaned against the wall. He could not stand still anymore.
Old Madam Ji and Tang Yingxue looked at each other and smiled. No matter what the situation was, it was a good thing that the wedding did not go through.
Du Jiuyuan walked into the emergency room. Grandmother Ji was lying on the bed with all kinds of medical instruments beside her. None of these instruments had been touched and there was not even a doctor in sight.
“Grandmother, you...” Du Jiuyuan opened her mouth and her voice choked up.
“Yuanyuan, don’t cry, don’t cry, I’m fine. These old bones can take a few more hits, and I will live a few more years..” The old lady comforted Du Jiuyuan.
