Chapter 1907: I Didn’t Want Her to Die For Me
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ji Qing felt as if her head had exploded after hearing Ji Fengmian’s words.
She had done so much and achieved so much, but she was still so determined.
“You gave up just like that? What is Brother Boyan to you?”
She tried her best to control her voice as her body tensed up.
“Who does he think he is? He’s my man. But other than me, I don’t have the right to choose not to have another woman in my life.”!!
“You… Why are you like this…”
“I’m like this. Is this the first time you’ve heard of me?” Ji Fengmian couldn’t be bothered to listen to her. “I don’t know how much you know about me, but you’ve really disgusted me. On the one hand, you’re telling me that you love him and you’re trying your best to stay by his side. You even want me to accept you. Do you really want me to continue being with him? Go out and grab any woman and ask who will choose to continue pestering you. If you win, I can’t win against you.”
“I didn’t!”
Ji Fengmian glanced coldly at the agitated Ji Qing before turning to leave.
Opening the door, her assistant greeted her, “Miss Ji.”
“Where’s Chu Boyang?”
It was rare to hear her asking about Director Chu. Although his face was pale, after being stunned for a few seconds, he immediately said, “Director Chu is in the company now… He will probably come over after he’s done.”
Ji Fengmian sneered. With such a precious child suffering in the hospital, how could he not come and take care of her personally?
“Miss Ji, why don’t you wait for him here…”
“No need, I’ll go find him.”
How could she have the patience to stay with Ji Qing?
Seeing that she was about to leave with an unfriendly expression, he was afraid that she would look for Director Chu and start a fight on the spot. He hurried a few steps and spoke quickly.
“Miss Ji, the reason why Director Chu arranged for so many people to guard Miss Ji Qing is because the criminal who kidnapped her back then has been released from prison these few days. Master is afraid that he will still take revenge on Miss Ji Qing, so he came to look for her…”
Ji Fengmian stopped in front of the elevator and his assistant immediately pressed the button.
“You don’t have to tell me this. Chu Boyang has a bunch of reasonable reasons for everything he does.”
The elevator door opened and Ji Fengmian walked in without hesitation. The assistant hesitated for a few seconds before stepping in.
Ji Fengmian frowned.
But she didn’t say anything. This hospital wasn’t hers, let alone the elevator.
“Miss Ji…”
“If you’re here to tell me how righteous, righteous, and affectionate Director Chu is, then don’t say anything. I don’t want to accept it. It’s useless even if you praise him as a god.”
The assistant looked embarrassed.
She also felt a headache.
Although Miss Ji was beautiful, her personality and temper…
What was Director Chu thinking? Why did he insist on having such a living ancestor?
The assistant didn’t know what to say and stood awkwardly beside Ji Fengmian.
“But…”
Ji Fengmian suddenly spoke and the assistant hurriedly looked over.
“I think that man might hate me more…”
The assistant was stunned. “Huh?”
Ji Fengmian didn’t respond. The elevator door opened and he walked out.
The assistant chased after her. “Miss Ji, do you want me to arrange for someone…”
“No need.”
The assistant slowly stopped and watched as her back disappeared around the corner of the corridor leading to the underground garage.
Shaking his head helplessly, he turned around and stepped into the elevator.
She couldn’t afford to offend him.
When the elevator closed, he happened to hear the sound of a car unlocking the door.
Then, her phone rang and Ji Qing fainted in the ward.
When she rushed to the ward, the doctors were busy.
After a round of examination, Ji Qing had a heart attack.
Fortunately, her condition wasn’t serious. After the emergency treatment, she woke up quickly.
The assistant heaved a sigh of relief.
After confirming the situation with the doctor, she remembered that she had to call Chu Boyang.
Ji Qing had rarely fallen ill over the years. When she heard that she had suddenly fallen ill and was pregnant, she immediately put her work aside and went to the hospital.
The assistant was waiting for Chu Boyang at the entrance of the hospital. When she saw him walking over quickly, she followed behind him.
“Her condition has stabilized, but the doctor said that in her current state, she doesn’t recommend continuing with the pregnancy. The child is fine this time, but there’s no guarantee that she won’t be so lucky next time. Moreover, we can’t be sure if her condition will be serious after seven months. When the time comes…”
Chu Boyang’s expression darkened. “Why did you suddenly fall ill?”
“Uh…”
The assistant paused.
The elevator door opened and Chu Boyang gave him a sidelong glance.
“Just now… Miss Ji came…” The assistant braced himself.
Chu Boyang frowned.
“She was here?”
“Yes, Miss Ji Qing invited her.”
“She came just because Ji Qing invited her?” Chu Boyang was a little puzzled. “When did she become such an easy-going person?”
The assistant shook his head awkwardly. He knew who she was, yet she insisted on pestering her.
—
Ji Qing had already woken up. Her face was pale and she looked haggard.
When she saw him, she smiled at him.
“I’m sorry to have worried you.”
Chu Boyang walked to her bedside with a straight face. He sized her up for a long time before saying,
“You can’t keep the child in your stomach. I’ve already confirmed the time with the doctor…”
Ji Qing’s already pale face seemed to have been drained of all blood. Her lips trembled and she couldn’t speak, but she kept shaking her head.
“No… I don’t want to!”
Chu Boyang narrowed his eyes and warned, “Ji Qing, this child isn’t worth your life.”
“But you’re worth it!” Tears streamed down Ji Qing’s face as she looked up at him. She mustered her courage to lay her cards on the table.
“Brother Boyang, I’ve done so much to stay by your side. I’m even willing to give up my life…”
“Ji Qing.” Chu Boyang’s deep and cold voice sounded. “Mian has lost her temper with me because of you back then. I think you know that I’m honest with you, so I felt that she was being unreasonable. Now, you can only make me feel that I should keep my distance from you.”
Ji Qing gradually calmed down. “I can die for you, but Ji Fengmian doesn’t even want to think about it. With her personality and temper, even if the two of you are together, you can only go along with her and not make her unhappy. Don’t you feel tired…”
“Why would she die for me?”
Chu Boyang’s words stunned Ji Qing.
“I want her to be with me, not to die for me. If she really wants to die for me, I might as well let go of her as soon as possible! As for her temper, I chose her. It has nothing to do with you.”
Ji Qing even forgot to blink.
So there was such an excuse.
So being willing to die for the other party was no longer something unforgettable?
She had to live well. He wanted her to live well too.
Such tacit understanding was rare.
She gave a bitter laugh and tears fell again. “So you won’t even look at me when I give you my life.”
Seeing her dejected look, Chu Boyang suddenly felt tired.
“Surviving is more important than anything else. You have to be responsible for your own life. I can’t take care of you forever.”
Was he trying to cut ties with her no matter what?
Ji Qing bit her lips hard and was silent for a long time before saying slowly,
“What I said just now… Can you pretend that I didn’t say anything… I was too impulsive…”
Chu Boyang glanced at her calmly. “Sure, but what I just said…”
“Brother Boyang, chat with me for a while. We haven’t spoken properly in a long time.”
Ji Qing interrupted Chu Boyang. Seeing his frown, she said,
“I just told Sister Mian a lot. Aren’t you curious about what we talked about? I think… Sister Mian won’t tell you too much…”
Chu Boyang stared at her for a while before unbuttoning his suit and sitting on the sofa.
Ji Qing smiled and said, “I’ve told her that I have heart disease. That’s why you’ve taken special care of me all these years. She keeps feeling that this child is yours. She won’t believe me even if I say that it’s not…”
“She also said that she believed it and had to bear the consequences of a possibility. If she didn’t believe it, she wouldn’t have to take any risks. So she doesn’t intend to continue with you.”
Chu Boyang’s expression darkened. His assistant had told him that she had gone to the company to look for him. He now knew why she was looking for him.
“I was too anxious. If not for her firm attitude just now, I wouldn’t have said those words to you…”
—
Ji Fengmian felt that perhaps she had really dug up Ji Qing’s family’s ancestral grave in her previous life, so God had asked her to repay the debt in this life.
Just as she opened the car door, a knife was pressed against her waist.
The next second, her mouth was covered.
When the man behind her asked nervously if she was Ji Qing, she instantly had the urge to tear Ji Qing into pieces.
Ji Qing had just told her about her “bitter and difficult” past, and Chu Boyang’s assistant was heavily guarded against her. It wasn’t difficult for her to guess that the man who had suddenly appeared behind her was Wang Chengwei, who had been released from prison not long ago.
The criminal who had just spoken was now holding a knife and about to stab her anytime. She wanted to curse.
“I’m not the one you need to find.”
“Nonsense!” The knife on her waist suddenly exerted more force. Ji Fengmian’s body stiffened and a sharp pain came from her waist.
Perhaps realizing that this place was not safe, Wang Chengwei quickly tied Ji Fengmian’s hands and pushed her into the car.
Then, he jumped into Ji Fengmian’s car nervously and drove away in a panic.
Ji Fengmian sat in the back and suppressed the fear in his heart. He looked at Wang Chengwei calmly.
“I’m not the person you’re looking for. You’ve really arrested the wrong person.”
“If you’re not her, then who are you? The man who came out with you has been guarding outside her ward!”
Ji Fengmian gritted his teeth. “What’s wrong with you? Who said that men can’t know other women? I’m going to visit a patient!”
Wang Chengwei seemed to have wavered and became even more flustered.
“Shut up!… I won’t believe you. You look familiar. There’s no reason why you can’t be Ji Qing!”
Ji Fengmian’s expression changed slightly and he stopped talking.
It would be difficult if she looked familiar.
She was the Ji Qing who indirectly caused his son’s death, but it was Ji Fengmian who caused him to go to prison and failed to take revenge.
If he knew that she was the person who had lied to him back then, he would stab her to death without hesitation.
The car drove towards the suburbs in the west and finally stopped at the foot of the mountain.
There were 100 long steps at the side. At the top was the cemetery. There were people going up and down.
Wang Chengwei didn’t intend to get out of the car immediately. He watched as the tomb sweepers went up and down.
Ji Fengmian guessed that his son had asked someone to move here.
It seemed that he had never let his son down.
Was he bringing Ji Qing here to avenge his son?
Her scalp tingled.
He would meet lunatics everywhere.
But nothing could happen to her now.
“Your son is up there?” she asked suddenly.
As if he had been stabbed, Wang Chengwei turned his head and glared at her fiercely.
“You’re still saying that you’re not her?”
“Just because I’m not her doesn’t mean I don’t know her. I’ve heard her talk about her…”
“She still has the cheek to tell others about this?!” Wang Chengwei became agitated. Ji Fengmian could clearly see his body trembling.
“If it wasn’t for her, my son wouldn’t have died. I only had that one son! In order to raise money for my son’s treatment, my wife died of exhaustion. Before she died, she begged me to cure my son. She couldn’t even close her eyes!”
Wang Chengwei’s agitated and angry voice was filled with guilt and endless hatred. It sounded like muffled thunder in the car.
Ji Fengmian’s eyes trembled slightly. She wasn’t sure what he would do on impulse.
“I’ve waited so long for this opportunity, but she snatched it away… My son would have lived. I’ve let my son and my wife down…”
“Indeed.” Ji Fengmian’s voice trembled slightly. “But it wasn’t easy for you to come here. Aren’t you going to visit your son?”
Wang Chengwei wiped the tears off his face and gradually calmed down.
Ji Fengmian continued, “There’s money inside. You can take it to buy some things. Your son probably doesn’t eat much snacks, right? Buy more for him and a bouquet of flowers for your wife…”
Wang Chengwei paused and opened the storage box. There were indeed a few notes inside.
He turned to look at her. “What tricks are you going to play?”
Ji Fengmian pursed his lips. “Buy me a bottle of water… I’m tied up by you now. What tricks do you think I can play?”
Wang Chengwei thought for a while before opening the door and getting out of the car. Naturally, he removed the car keys carefully.
Ji Fengmian frowned. After confirming that he had left, she quickly took off her shoes and pulled her bag over. She unzipped it and found her phone.
There weren’t many people in the contact list. The first person was Ji Qing and the second was Chu Boyang.
She didn’t expect Ji Qing to save him, so she could only call Chu Boyang.
After the phone rang for a while, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Ji Fengmian’s forehead.
Her gaze was fixed on the shop not far away.
Fortunately, the call was finally picked up. “Chu Boyang, you…”
“Sister Mian, Brother Boyang went out for something. He left his phone in my ward…”
