Ji Yu regained the upper hand.
From the very beginning, she understood that he was a dangerous person. Instead of being afraid of him, it was better to stay calm now.
Jiang Huai grew increasingly satisfied with Ji Yu’s composure. "Ah, back then you didn’t think much of me, did you? But I’m curious to see if you’ve improved after all these years."
He wanted to see if Ji Yu could truly repair Charles’s face.
"If you’re eager to see the results, then please step aside first."
Ji Yu was confident in her skills. Since she had promised to treat Charles, she certainly wouldn’t go back on her word.
She took a deep breath. The surgery started.
Everyone waited for the results.
Mr. Li was slightly surprised to see Jiang Huai.
"Why can’t I be here? I just want to see Yu’s capability. Don’t worry, I won’t kill him this time." He had been waiting for this day for too long, and nothing would deter him now.
Mr. Li found his behavior increasingly incomprehensible.
If it were him in this situation, the person he would most want to kill would surely be Charles. Yet Jiang Huai appeared calm, entirely unbothered by the possibility of Charles recovering.
"Aren’t you afraid he’ll take everything from you?"
"If he really had that kind of ability, he wouldn’t have been forced into this situation by me in the first place. You and he are far too naïve." To Jiang Huai, it was all just a game.
If a situation did not pique his interest, he wouldn’t bother to intervene.
Now that Ji Yu was involved, his enthusiasm surged.
After Ji Yu completed the surgery, Jiang Huai eagerly stepped forward.
But unfortunately for him, Ji Yu still had no regard for him. "The surgery was a success, so perhaps that disappoints you."
"I knew you’d succeed. I’ve always wondered, if you had operated on me back then, would the pain have been less?"
He wanted to have a proper conversation with Ji Yu, to see how far she had grown, but her frequent indifference deeply unsettled him.
Ji Yu didn’t even know why, but every time she saw Jiang Huai, she felt like a powder keg about to explode.
"You don’t need to linger before me. Since you’re already dead, then go and die completely. No one wants you to come back."
"Is that so? Back then, you cried so sorrowfully. I thought you might at least still hold some sentiment for me. I don’t believe you’re truly so cruel." He stared intently at Ji Yu, seemingly searching her eyes for even a flicker of nostalgia.
Ji Yu found his behavior utterly repulsive.
Perhaps it was because she’d experienced too much of this kind of situation in the past, which made her feel this way now.
"I don’t want any interaction with you. I’m tired. I need to rest properly."
She no longer knew what she should do.
Seeing Ji Yu’s evident distress over this matter, Gu Qixiao quickly stepped forward. "If you’re tired, then go rest properly."
He ushered Ji Yu out of the hospital.
Jiang Huai had no interest in the remaining matters, but he anticipated Ji Yu’s next moves with some eagerness, so he decisively followed them.
However, when he saw the two of them embracing, he couldn’t bring himself to accept it.
"Yu, I advise you to be cautious. Getting involved with a man like him won’t lead to anything good." He clearly disapproved of Ji Yu and Gu Qixiao’s relationship.
Besides, Ji Yu’s actions earlier had already intrigued him. Now that he had encountered her again after such a long time, how could he so easily give up?
"Who I interact with has nothing to do with you, so don’t bother telling me about your concerns." Ji Yu responded calmly.
He had always liked speaking in this manner, and even now, he hadn’t changed in the slightest. But Ji Yu was no longer the submissive girl who let him toy with her. She had become someone capable of handling matters on her own.
Seeing Ji Yu beginning to push back, his excitement surged. "Yu, you really know how to captivate me. The current you is irresistible."
Suddenly, his desire to possess Ji Yu flared.
If he could win Ji Yu over now, perhaps the days ahead would be filled with happiness, he thought.
"Yu, I will definitely bring you back to my side. I know you belong to me."
To him, Ji Yu undeniably belonged to him.
Ji Yu couldn’t understand why someone like him existed in this world. Was there something wrong with his brain?
"Yu, there’s no point in engaging with someone . Let’s go."
Gu Qixiao reached for Ji Yu’s hand but immediately faced Jiang Huai’s venomous glare. It was as if touching Ji Yu’s hand would unleash his wrath entirely.
Gu Qixiao found this quite amusing, but he disregarded Jiang Huai’s expression entirely and firmly grabbed Ji Yu’s wrist.
Fury burned in Jiang Huai’s eyes like wildfire. The thing he despised the most had come to pass.
He couldn’t bear to see Ji Yu with anyone else. As long as Ji Yu belonged to another, he ached to murder Gu Qixiao right then and there.
"Yu, you can’t treat me . Didn’t you promise me you’d stay by my side? Now you’re going back on your word."
His anger at Ji Yu’s actions was palpable, yet it stemmed from a fabricated agreement between them that existed only in his imagination.
Ji Yu found it absurd. "I don’t recall ever saying such a thing. Even if I did, it would’ve been childish talk. Do you seriously think such words are credible?"
"I don’t care. I only know that you promised me back then, which means this is your obligation. You can’t give up on me." He stared fixedly at Ji Yu, as if he had long sealed this belief in his mind. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novelFirｅ.net
Ji Yu couldn’t understand his madness. "I’m engaged now, and we’ll be getting married soon. Your so-called promises are no longer valid. Besides, they’re merely figments of your imagination. If you’re spiraling into lunacy, don’t drag others down with you."
Ji Yu increasingly felt that Jiang Huai was deranged. Otherwise, how could he behave so grotesquely?
If he had even a shred of sanity, he wouldn’t be doing such disgusting things.
"Jiang Huai, you’ve lost your mind."
