Chapter 321 Chasing Wife to the Crematorium?
Jiang Huiyi raised her two beautiful eyes and tried to hug Duan Hongji and cry. Duan Hongji frowned and lifted her off his body by the scruff of her neck.
Jiang Huiyi felt as if fate was pinching her by the scruff of the neck. She couldn't believe that Duan Hongji was so cruel. She even jumped off the building for him, but Duan Hongji was still unwilling to accept a hug from her!
Jiang Huiyi felt a great sense of grievance. She looked at Duan Hongji with tears in her eyes and choked up, "Do you really hate me so much?"
Zhao Ruoming turned his eyes away miserably, fearing that he would not be able to hold back his laughter.
Duan Hongji didn't even want to look at her!
Jiang Huiyi broke free from Duan Hongji's big hand and asked sobbingly: "If you don't want to see me, why do you come to see me?"
When Zhao Ruoming turned his head, he saw his eldest son standing not far from him, staring silently at Jiang Huiyi and Duan Hongji. The pain and struggle in his eyes were so thick that they could be cut into a large plate.
This feeling of facing the Minotaur was too weird, especially since he was the other party of the Minotaur. This made Zhao Ruoming feel that his hair seemed to have turned yellow. Zhao Ruoming had to turn his head back to avoid the sight of his helpless eldest son, took a few steps back, and sat on the chair beside Jiang Huiyi's bed.
Jiang Huiyi's tearful eyes lightened up slightly. Duan Hongji sat down. This proved that he would not leave immediately!
Duan Hongji was still willing to stay with her - he was not completely tired of her!
Duan Jizhi's face turned paler and paler. He lowered his head silently, walked forward with a dead heart, poured a cup of tea, and then respectfully offered it to Duan Hongji.
"Father, please have some tea." Duan Jizhi whispered.
Zhao Ruoming had been busy all night and had not eaten or drunk anything, so he was indeed a little thirsty. He unceremoniously took the tea offered by his eldest son and took a big sip.
Seeing Duan Hongji taking the tea, Jiang Huiyi gently wiped her tears and said, "Jier, go ask Doctor Wu when I can be discharged from the hospital?" She still had a lot to say to Duan Hongji alone, but Duan Jizhi just stood there like a hammer, which was really inconsiderate.
Before Duan Jizhi could react, Duan Hongji, who was drinking tea, suddenly coughed violently!
Jiang Huiyi immediately stopped caring about Duan Jizhi and quickly stepped forward to pat Duan Hongji on the back: "Old Duan, what's wrong with you? Did you drink too quickly?"
Step-son...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Zhao Ruoming tried his best to hold back his laughter and said calmly, "It's okay, the tea is a little hot."
Jiang Huiyi hurriedly said, "Stepson! Didn't you see that your father was scalded? Why don't you go and get some warm tea!"
Zhao Ruoming thought that the noble son Duan Jizhi would get angry, but he just looked at the two of them sadly, said "It was my negligence, father", and went out to change the water.
In fact, this is a VIP ward, and whatever you want can be delivered by just pressing a bell. Even so, in order to make room for his father and mother to be alone together, Duan Jizhi left without complaint.
Zhao Ruoming stared at Duan Jizhi's back in amazement.
Oh my god! Duan Jizhi is really doing very well as a living bastard!
Zhao Ruoming was shocked and immediately asked, "203, what happened to Duan Jizhi?"
On the first day Zhao Ruoming came here, Duan Jizhi was still a PUA master. How come he suddenly turned into an AAA cuckold wholesaler?
I still remember that you could fool Jiang Huiyi with all your bullshit and made her cry like rain and feel guilty and want to go with you. But now, you have become Jiang Huiyi's strategist in her pursuit of love!
Oh my God! Not to mention changing the tea for Duan Hongji, Zhao Ruoming suspected that even if Jiang Huiyi asked Duan Jizhi to make water for her and Duan Hongji to wash their butts, Duan Jizhi would go and fetch a bucket with a cold face and a broken heart!
203 looked through the database and replied: "According to the big data, Duan Jizhi is currently in the stage of chasing his wife to the crematorium. This stage is the most humble moment for the male protagonist or the male supporting role in the entire story."
Zhao Ruoming chuckled, "Chasing Wife to the Crematorium? If it's Duan Jizhi, it would be more suitable to call it Chasing Wife to the Watery Burial Ground."
203 reacted smoothly: "Are you calling Duan Jizhi a green-haired turtle?"
203 has made rapid progress and can already understand Zhao Ruoming's humor, which is cause for celebration.
Zhao Ruoming complained: "When Jiang Huiyi loved Duan Jizhi, Duan Jizhi wanted to control her and called her all kinds of dirty and smelly names. Now that Jiang Huiyi has fallen in love with someone else, Duan Jizhi has come to his senses and is deeply in love with her again."
There seems to be some law of conservation of love between the male and female protagonists in some novels, and only one of the male or female protagonist can maintain love for the other.
Zhao Ruoming disagrees with the statement that belated affection is cheaper than grass. Weeds at least still have vigorous vitality, and they can grow again in the spring breeze even if they are not burned by wildfires; while belated and self-righteous affection is nothing more than a giant baby's self-pity, which will break with a single poke.
Since Duan Jizhi was enjoying his life, Zhao Ruoming would not bother him. Duan Jizhi was feeling very miserable now. The more his father Duan Hongji tried to stop him, the more he would think that his love was stronger than gold.
Only after seeing Duan Jizhi leave did Jiang Huiyi completely relax.
Duan Hongji sat silently beside Jiang Huiyi's bed, his expression unremarkable, and he did not take the initiative to talk to Jiang Huiyi.
Jiang Huiyi felt uneasy. Seeing that Duan Hongji seemed quite tired, she asked, "Old Duan, are you tired?"
I was very tired, but I am no longer tired after seeing you. Because you make me want to cry but I can't.
Zhao Ruoming inexplicably wanted to tell this pun, but it's a pity that Jiang Huiyi probably didn't get it.
Seeing that Duan Hongji didn't answer her, Jiang Huiyi continued to talk to herself: "Your hair has turned a lot whiter, and you have become thinner. You look much more haggard in these days."
If Jiang Huiyi continues to talk, Duan Hongji will have to take away the box tomorrow. Zhao Ruoming had no choice but to say, "I was discussing business with the people from the Di family yesterday, but we didn't reach an agreement."
"Oh." Jiang Huiyi didn't ask any more questions. Duan Hongji always attached great importance to the Duan family's business, and Jiang Huiyi didn't want to offend him in such a good atmosphere.
The room fell into a long silence. Boss Duan went to get some water and hasn't come back yet. He is such a considerate son.
203 whispered, "Host, Duan Jizhi is eavesdropping outside the door."
Zhao Ruoming: “…”
I'm convinced, I'm really convinced.
Thanks to the heroic couple Duan Jizhi and Jiang Huiyi, Zhao Ruoming felt that he had become the "scumbag" in the scumbag novel.
There was no way to keep being in this stalemate, so Duan Hongji slowly asked, "Why did you want to jump off the building?"
Jiang Huiyi was waiting for these words. Without any hesitation, she shed two tears: "What am I doing this for? Do you still care?"
Duan Hongji nodded: "That's right, I don't care." Then he stood up and left.
Jiang Huiyi panicked. Duan Jizhi was always the one who fell for this trick, so Jiang Huiyi habitually used it on Duan Hongji. But she forgot that the person in front of her was Duan Hongji!
This is her boss Crocodile. This man has no affection for Jiang Huiyi at all and only ridicules her for having too few students in the class!
Jiang Huiyi was suddenly flustered, and wanted to change her words to keep the other party, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Fortunately, Duan Jizhi, who was eavesdropping outside the door, saw her confusion and pushed the door open at the right time.
"Father, you've only been here for a while, and you're leaving now?" Duan Jizhi frowned and acted anxiously, "Aren't you going to stay here with mother?"
Red rain falls from the sky and the sun rises from the west. Duan Jizhi could even say such a thing! I dare not even think about what he can do in the future!
Duan Hongji stared at his eldest son with a meaningful look for a while. Duan Jizhi had been strictly disciplined by Duan Hongji since he was a child. Under such a gaze, the pressure was not small.
Fortunately, Duan Jizhi loved his father so much that even his father’s death stare could not shake his determination.
Duan Jizhi gritted his teeth, with a sad and angry expression on his face: "Father! Don't you care at all? Mother has become what she is now, all because of you!"
For whom? Me?
Zhao Ruoming looked back at Jiang Huiyi, who was lying on the pillow, tears streaming down her face, seemingly heartbroken. Unfortunately, Zhao Ruoming had a sharp eye, and he clearly saw Jiang Huiyi sneaking out of the corner to use an eyelash curler, curling her right-angled eyelashes back into a curled shape.
Zhao Ruoming really wanted to cover his eyes and sigh.
Duan Jizhi continued his performance: "Mother told me that you didn't want to see her because she made a mistake... But she is your legally married wife after all! How can a husband kick his wife out of the house just because she made a mistake? Do you know how those noble ladies out there plotted against your mother behind her back?"
Come on, there's been a big earthquake in the entertainment industry recently, and the nobles and wealthy people in Haicheng have also been implicated. Eight and a half out of ten were found to have supported male and female celebrities, participated in group sex, and secretly had affairs outside, causing a sensation in the city - everyone can turn a blind eye to these things in private, but when they are brought to the surface, it is a scandal that no amount of public relations can correct.
The ladies in Haicheng have been so busy lately that when they meet and greet each other now, they no longer ask "Have you eaten?" but instead ask "Have you divorced?" How can they have time to arrange things for Jiang Huiyi?
Duan Hongji said nothing, so Duan Jizhi thought that his father was moved by his persuasion, and continued: "Father, no matter what mistakes mother made, it's just a family matter. Why do you have to be so..." So heartless?
Duan Hongji suddenly spoke up, interrupting his son: "Are you educating me, your father, now?"
Duan Jizhi was shocked!
His mind was so focused on fighting for Jiang Huiyi's happiness that he even forgot himself for a moment!
How could he just give instructions to Duan Hongji?
Duan Jizhi spoke unconsciously, stammering, "Father, I, I didn't mean that..."
Duan Hongji asked, "Your mother wants to go home, right?"
Jiang Huiyi, who was lying on the bed, froze. She didn't expect Duan Hongji to say it out loud. She really wanted to go back to Duan Hongji, but when he pointed out her thoughts clearly, Jiang Huiyi still felt her face burning.
Duan Jizhi said stiffly, "No, my mother didn't say anything. I just thought about it myself... A harmonious family brings prosperity..."
When these five words came out of Duan Jizhi's mouth, even Duan Hongji couldn't help but laugh: "A harmonious family brings prosperity? Huh?"
Duan Jizhi was already sweating profusely, and the clothes on his back were all wet, but he still refused to give in: "Father... my three brothers are still single, and we need a mother..."
Zhao Ruoming: “.”
Zhao Ruoming never expected that Duan Jizhi could burst out with such a big anger, which made her unable to even vent her anger. She was afraid that she would burst out laughing in the middle of beating someone.
Duan Jizhi felt the pressure on him suddenly relieved. For some reason, Duan Hongji didn't seem as angry as before.
Could it be that something he just said hit the nail on the head for Duan Hongji?
Duan Jizhi was not a coward, but his IQ was blocked by love. After the pressure from his father faded away, Duan Jizhi immediately remembered what Duan Hongji had said.
So that’s it!
Duan Jizhi said quickly: "Father! You once said that you need a qualified heir and wife. Now I have lost this qualification. But mother is different! Mother comes from a noble family and loves you deeply -" At this point, Duan Jizhi paused briefly, "No one in this world is more suitable to be your wife than mother!"
Pressure creates motivation. Under the double pressure of Jiang Hui's love and Duan Hongji's father's coercion, Boss Duan has thankfully learned to speak human words and to impress his father with benefits rather than love affairs.
Duan Hongji smiled.
This smile was very charming, full of the charm and grace of a mature man. If Theodore was present, he would probably say a few more dirty words. But in Duan Jizhi's eyes, he felt relieved.
Duan Hongji patted Duan Jizhi on the shoulder, seeming to be quite pleased: "You haven't made no progress these days. It turns out that you still need to work on your temper."
Duan Jizhi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his nonsense was correct.
Duan Hongji turned around and walked back to Jiang Huiyi's bedside. Jiang Huiyi stared at Duan Hongji blankly, with an expression that was unclear whether it was disappointment or fear.
Duan Hongji stretched out a finger and gently scratched Jiang Huiyi's face, leaving a white mark.
Jiang Huiyi should have been happy to be touched so intimately by Duan Hongji, but she didn't. She just felt like she was falling into an icy cave.
Duan Hongji said in a gentle voice: "Yiyi, what about you? Have you made any progress?"
Jiang Huiyi nodded subconsciously, then shook her head.
Duan Hongji lowered his eyes, this action made his expression look a little softer. He glanced at Jiang Huiyi's legs and said calmly: "I'll give you one last chance. I hope you won't let me down this time."
Jiang Huiyi opened her mouth and wanted to ask Duan Hongji: If you don’t love me, how could you be disappointed in me?
This sentence was not spoken out loud because Jiang Huiyi saw Duan Jizhi's expression of crazy suggestion.
Duan Jizhi stood behind Duan Hongji, looking at Jiang Huiyi with a sad expression——
Never ask this man for love! He is only motivated by profit!
Duan Hongji smiled and said, "Yiyi, you should take good care of yourself in this hospital. I will come to see you when I have time."
