Du Jiuyuan did not lie to Ji Jingchen. She was indeed dizzy and wanted to rest. After he left, she laid down and fell asleep not long after.
In her trance, Du Jiuyuan felt that someone was standing by her bed. She wanted to open her eyes, but she could not. It did not take long for her to fall into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Du Jiuyuan woke up. She was the only one in the ward. Everything that happened last night was like a dream.
The doctor came to check on her. Du Jiuyuan mentioned that she wanted to be discharged from the hospital, but the doctor reprimanded her sternly, “You youngsters nowadays just don’t pay attention to your own bodies. You hurt your head and your face is still so pale. Stay in the hospital for a few days to be observed!”
Du Jiuyuan had no way to refute the doctor’s words, so she could only stay for a few more days.
There was a faint fragrance of flowers in the room. After the doctor left, Du Jiuyuan stared at the bouquet of roses in a daze. Roses represented love. She did not understand what Ji Jingchen meant by sending her such a big bouquet of roses.
Although the wound on her forehead was bleeding a lot, the wound was not severe. After the nurse came over to change her dressing, Peter walked in with a food box.
“Miss Du, CEO Ji asked me to bring you breakfast.” Once Peter entered the room, he laid out the food and left quickly, not giving Du Jiuyuan the chance to refuse.
After a while, Du Jiuyuan thought that Peter had left and had to clean up on her own after eating. Unexpectedly, the door of the ward was pushed open again. Peter came in and quickly cleaned up before disappearing again.
The people around Ji Jingchen were a little unusual. Du Jiuyuan was injured on her head but her limbs were fine. She walked around the ward casually and called the renovation workers.
Firstly, she was afraid that Ji Jingchen would ask someone to take over and fire them. Secondly, she wanted to know how long it would take for them to clean up the mess.
The workers were already in the shop. Ji Jingchen’s men had also arrived. The walls that had been painted earlier had been splashed with paint. There was still a lot of cleaning to do on the floor as well. As a result, the opening time would only be delayed for a while. Du Jiuyuan felt a little regretful when she thought of this. She shouldn’t have only slapped Ji Yanchen once yesterday. She should have slapped him a few more times.
Peter had also sent over lunch. This time, Du Jiuyuan stopped him. “You don’t have to go out. I’ll finish eating very quickly.”
Peter did not listen to Du Jiuyuan and continued to walk out of the ward. He waited until Du Jiuyuan had finished her lunch before he came in to pack up and take the food away.
In the afternoon, Lili came and stayed for a while before she left. It seemed that she was afraid of meeting Ji Jingchen.
As night fell, Ji Jingchen held ninety-nine roses in his left hand and the Grandmother Ji in his right hand. Behind him were the three delivery men from yesterday.
Du Jiuyuan’s back was facing the door. Hearing the sound of the door opening, she did not move. “Just put down the food. I’m not hungry yet.”
“Are the both of us strangers now? You don’t even want to see Grandmother anymore?” A dignified and loving voice sounded. Du Jiuyuan hurriedly got up and went down to greet her.
“Grandmother, why are you here?” Seeing Grandmother Ji, Du Jiuyuan smiled.
Ji Jingchen put down the flowers and asked someone to put down the food. Then, he went out with the three people.
He had to tell his grandmother about this. Ji Yanchen was not sensible and told his Second Uncle about the whole thing. His Second Uncle was furious and wanted to find trouble with Du Jiuyuan. The only person in the Ji family who could suppress his second uncle was his grandmother.
“Why can’t I come? Yuanyuan, you are cruel. You haven’t come to visit me even once.” Grandmother Ji followed Du Jiuyuan to the bedside and sat down. She looked at her with endless gentleness.
A discerning person could tell at a glance that Grandmother Ji’s love for Du Jiuyuan came from the bottom of her heart.
“I was wrong, Grandma. Recently, I was busy with work at the studio and forgot to visit you.” Du Jiuyuan’s tears welled up in her eyes. She felt a little sorry for Grandmother Ji.
If it weren’t for Grandmother Ji’s help, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to win against Ji Jingchen in the divorce. In that situation, Ji Jingchen would have been able to force the emcee to take the next step.
“It’s good to have your career. If you need help, come look for me. You’ve been wronged by Yanchen. I will teach him a good lesson!” Grandmother Ji didn’t tell Du Jiuyuan about the quarrel between Ji Yanchen and his father. As long as she was still around, no one could bully Du Jiuyuan.
“Grandmother, don’t make things difficult for me. I’m fine. As long as he doesn’t come to find trouble with me in the future, I will continue to be fine. Let’s eat first! I’m a little hungry.” Du Jiuyuan pulled Grandmother Ji to eat together.
