Ji Yunya put the phone back on the table and looked up at the visitor.
"The evidence is conclusive, Lady ng and Miss ng will face punishnt, but I’m afraid Mr. ng won’t let it rest. He’s already contacted quite a few people these past two days, and today he’ll be coming to see Old Master Yan."
"Letting them go to jail is too easy for them." Yun Ya curled her lips into a cold smile. Despite the animosity between the ng and Yan families, they were still in-laws. Although the ng family was at fault first, if she acted too ruthlessly, it might give others sothing to criticize. Yun Ya always knew how to put on a public face, and she didn’t mind showing so magnanimity.
She wanted the ng family to hate her but still feel grateful to her.
Jiang Xiang glanced at Yun Ya, "What does Miss Ji want to do?"
"Co to see Great-grandfather? That’s fine, I welco him with open arms."
——
The pine and bamboo were lush and green at Rongju Garden, apricot blossoms climbed over the walls, blooming brightly and beautifully in the spring breeze.
Yun Ya personally tended to Old Master Yan, giving him his dicine. Once he was asleep, she quietly left the room, carefully closing the door behind her.
"Miss Ji, you’ve worked hard." Yan Fu appeared behind Yun Ya, speaking in a deep voice.
Among so many descendants of the Yan family, not one asured up to Miss Ji, who hadn’t even entered the family yet. It was understandable that the old master cherished her.
"Uncle Yan, there’s no need to be so formal. Great-grandfather just fell asleep, and he’ll sleep until the evening. Rember not to let him eat too much at dinner...."
Yan Fu nodded.
Yan Fu escorted Yun Ya to the entrance of Rongju Garden, where a man in his fifties approached, exuding elegance, with intelligence and restraint visible behind his glasses.
"Mr. ng?" Yan Fu respectfully spoke, "Are you here to see the old master? Unfortunately, he just took his dicine and is asleep."
ng Changsheng’s gaze fell on Yun Ya, who didn’t miss the brief flash of coldness in his eyes. She smiled gently, without any sign of panic or timidity, "Mr. ng, are you here for Lady ng and Miss ng?"
ng Changsheng’s eyes were as sharp as daggers. Yun Ya smiled serenely, "It’s right to co to , the party involved."
"Mr. ng, this way, please."
ng Changsheng stared at her for a long mont, snorted coldly, and swept away with a flick of his sleeve.
Yun Ya turned to look at Yan Fu and smiled, "Great-grandfather’s health isn’t good, he needs peace and quiet. Such trivial matters shouldn’t disturb Great-grandfather."
Yan Fu’s eyes flickered, and he nodded respectfully, "Rest assured, Miss Ji, I will rember."
Only then did Yun Ya turn and leave.
"Mr. ng, have a cup of tea to calm your emotions." Yun Ya skillfully brewed the tea, gently filling ng Changsheng’s cup.
ng Changsheng took a deep breath, reminding himself to endure, and said coldly, "What will it take for you to let them go?"
In the curling steam, the girl’s face was as exquisite as jade, her expression serene, "Mr. ng, you’ve got it wrong. It should be about what you need to do for you to let go?"
"Don’t be too arrogant before you’ve even married into the Yan family. Do you really think I can’t do anything to you?" ng Changsheng’s words lacked conviction. The ng family was struggling, and without the connection to the Yan family, they would have been pushed out long ago. Now, a single Ji Yunya had him at a loss, a testant to his current situation.
"Oh? It seems Mr. ng has a plan, so why bother coming here?" Yun Ya sipped her tea, "Well, Mr. ng, I’ll not see you off."
"You..." ng Changsheng pointed at her, breathing heavily, never having been humiliated like this before, and left in a huff.
After taking a few steps, he paused, suddenly turning back.
"Miss Ji, I apologize on behalf of my wife and daughter. I hope you can be rciful and spare them...."
"Mr. ng, you did nothing wrong, why put yourself through this?"
In his heart, ng Changsheng repeatedly reminded himself that the character for ’endure’ holds a sharp knife over it, "I hope you won’t hold a grudge. I’ve spoiled Junci, but I promise to discipline her strictly in the future and won’t let her cause you any more trouble."
"Mr. ng is known for his integrity and is held in high regard, but his career has stalled for years. I suppose family issues are a burden, such a pity...." She ended with a regretful shake of her head.
ng Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat, as he hesitantly looked at the girl opposite him, her black eyes like gemstones, deep as an ancient well, drawing one’s mind in like a vortex.
This was a warning.
Both were clever, what was unclear?
Her slender fingers played with the porcelain cup, "Uncle Yan will soon return from abroad, and Aunt can’t even manage herself currently. Who do you think Uncle Yan will side with?"
With that, she glanced away.
ng Changsheng’s fists clenched, his teeth gritted, and after a while, words seed to squeeze out of his throat: "I know what needs to be done."
With ng Junci and Lady ng released from the police station, they seed to have a new lease on life.
Seeing ng Changsheng’s car, Lady ng imdiately rushed over, "Changsheng... This ti you must avenge Ah Ci and , we were both...."
"Shut up." ng Changsheng gave her a cold glance. Lady ng flinched instinctively; his gaze was terrifying.
