Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Yan Family Villa.

As soon as Yan Zhun and his family stepped into the villa, the Yan couple followed them. The tutor had just left, and the two sons were sitting in the living room eating fruit prepared by their mother.

Every time the children finish their tutoring sessions, the strict mother would carefully prepare some food for them to replenish their energy. Even though she felt sorry for her grandson's hard work studying, she would not interfere with her daughter-in-law's discipline of her grandson. The whole family approved of her daughter-in-law's educational methods.

She would only prepare some food and buy some rewards for the children after their tutoring sessions. Everything revolved around her daughter-in-law, and her son's opinions were secondary.

Just like Yan Zhun said back then, even if someone had to be kicked out of the family, that person would definitely not be Xiao Ni.

Now, Feng Xiaoni is the sole head of the Yan Group. Her father-in-law only visits the company occasionally, and Feng Xiaoni also makes the decisions regarding the children's education. The family respects their daughter-in-law's ideas, as Feng Xiaoni's parenting style is excellent and without any problems.

Whether it's Yan's mother, Yan's father, or Yan Feifei, they all agree. Yan Feifei has now taken over Yan's father's job and is capable of handling things independently.

"How is it? Is Hanhan alright?"

"Strict mother asked with a worried look on her face."

Yan Feifei's eyes were still red and swollen, and Feng Xiaoni also looked like she had been crying. Yan Zhun recounted what had happened, and after listening, the Yan couple both sighed, feeling uneasy.

"Old Yan, if you don't have anything to do tomorrow, let's go see the child after Shao Yu and Hao Lin go to school in the morning. It's really heartbreaking. Yuan Shu and Ji Hang must be so upset, and so are Han Cheng and Yao Yao."

Yan Haolin, still wearing his school uniform, looked a bit like Feng Xiaoni. He stood up and asked, "Mom, can we go see Sister Hanhan on Friday?"

The two brothers have evening self-study sessions from Monday to Friday, and they get back quite late. If they have extra classes, it's even later.

Yan Shaoyu's personality is somewhat like Yan Zhun's; he doesn't talk much, much less than Haolin. He chimed in, "Let's go together."

Feng Xiaoni thought about it for a moment. The children really should go see them, but she needed to go on a business trip on Friday. "A-Zhun, are you free on Friday?"

Before Yan Zhun could answer, Yan Feifei volunteered, knowing that the couple were both busy, one with surgery and the other with business trips. "Sister-in-law, I'll take them. Anyway, I don't need to go on this business trip."

Since Yan Feifei took over her father's job, she has traveled much less frequently, and Feng Xiaoni has basically taken on the main responsibilities.

"Okay, then you can go with your aunt and follow her instructions. Mom will be going on a business trip on Friday. You can manage your own homework, and I will check it when I get back."

The two children nodded, very self-disciplined, without any objection or complaint about the amount of homework.

When Han Guoguo and Su Yu returned home, Su's mother and father asked them about it and decided to go and see them the next morning. What they didn't know was that the Lu family couple also planned to go to the Ji residence the next morning.

Before going to bed, Han Guoguo sent a message to Su Xue: Xiaoxue, your brother and I have decided to let Cancan go home to stay tomorrow. We plan to have him go to the Ji residence every day to chat with Hanhan. Didn't Yan Zhun say that talking more will stimulate Hanhan?

The two of them were on the same page: I just came from Yao Yao's place. I just went to see Han Han with Xi Xi and the others. We were planning to do the same thing. I've already called Xiao Chen and asked him to come home tomorrow. Yao Yao also called Xiao Yu.

The moment those words were spoken, the gate to the Lu family villa opened, and a travel-worn Lu Qingchen returned in the darkness. Su Xue had just reached the top of the stairs when she turned to look at her son standing at the door, and asked in confusion, "Didn't I tell you to come back tomorrow? Did you hear me wrong?"

Su Xue tried hard to recall the words she used on the phone. She was sure she hadn't made a mistake in notifying him; she hadn't said she'd be back today.

Lu Qingchen was carrying a small suitcase. "Mom, didn't you say it was extremely urgent? What is it? Did my sister and Le Ge break up?"

"Pah, can you stop saying such unlucky things? Your sister and brother-in-law are doing great. Your sister has been staying at the Ji residence these past few days. How could they have broken up?"

Lu Jinnan, who had just entered the room, came out and was puzzled to see his son suddenly return. "Did you take a taxi back?"

Lu Qingchen bent down to change his shoes. He was also a miserable reserve prince, always getting into trouble. "What else can I do? I don't have a four-wheeler."

Lu Jinnan: "Don't you know your own level? You're dreaming of a four-wheeled vehicle. Walking is more suitable for you."

Lu Qingchen was unconvinced. "What new driver doesn't hitch a ride? They get more experienced the more they hitch rides."

Lu Jinnan couldn't help but remind him, "Our family sells real estate, not bumper cars."

Lu Qingchen: "............"

More than half an hour ago, Su Xue called her son after leaving the Ji residence. Her voice was choked with sobs. She only told him to come home and not stay at school. Lu Qingchen asked what was wrong, and his mother kept crying. Her crying made him panic, so he took a taxi back home.

Seeing their son's bewildered expression, Su Xue and Lu Jinnan came downstairs, pulled their son to sit on the sofa, and told him what had happened in the past two days.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingchen's face turned deathly pale. He was completely devoid of his previous nonchalant and joking demeanor. He opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a single word.

As she spoke, Su Xue started crying again. She raised her hand and wiped the corner of her eye with the back of her hand, and instructed, "From now on, you should go out less and wander around outside. Xiaoyu has also been called back by Yaoyao. You should go to the Ji residence more often and chat with Hanhan. You can even provoke Hanhan to beat you up."

As long as Hanhan can wake up, it's not a big deal if her son gets a beating, Su Xue thought to herself.

The accident happened so suddenly that even someone as composed as Lu Qingchen couldn't accept it for a moment. He opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't find the words.

A moment later, he picked up his phone and saw that it was already past 9 o'clock. As if guessing his son's thoughts, Lu Jinnan said, "Let's skip it today and go tomorrow. Xiaoyu will be back tomorrow too."

"Hmm." Lu Qingchen responded with mixed feelings, absent-minded, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

At three o'clock in the morning, a rumbling sound came from the courtyard of the Ji residence. The sound stopped after a while, but it was particularly jarring in the quiet night.

The girl turned off the engine, straddled the motorcycle with one leg on the ground, wearing black Doc Martens, jumped off, deftly removed her helmet and held it in her hand, and fiddled with her black backpack.

There was only a dim light inside the villa, and the curtains were drawn tightly, so no one could see what was happening inside. Ji Xinyu tucked her helmet under her arm and looked for her keys in her pocket.

After fumbling around for a long time without finding the villa key, I figured I must have forgotten to bring it. I had no choice but to take an unconventional route. I bent down to unlock the door, and it clicked open.

The person who opened the door was Ji Hancheng, who was wearing black pajamas. When he heard the roaring sound, he guessed that Xiaoyu had returned. "Didn't Mom tell you to come back tomorrow? Why are you back so late?"

Ji Hancheng stepped aside to let his daughter in. He glanced outside and saw the bodyguard in the shadows nod at him. He then closed the door.

Ji Xinyu thought about it again and again and felt that her mother's words were a bit strange. Since she went to college, her mother had never asked her to come home to live. Whether it was Hanhan, her or her brother, her parents always respected their wishes and never forced their ideas on them or made them do anything.

She tossed and turned in bed in her dorm for a long time, and finally decided to go home to find out what was going on. "I missed you all, so I came back. Dad, why are you still awake so late?"

Ji Xinyu looked up and met her father's tired eyes and the dark circles under them. "Dad, do you have insomnia?"

Seeing the smile on his daughter's face, Ji Hancheng wished that Hanhan would smile at him like that too, or even cry. His eyes were heavy, filled with helplessness, devoid of light, and very dim. "Xiaoyu, Daddy has something to tell you."

Seeing her father's serious expression, Ji Xinyu felt a strange sense of panic. "Dad, has something happened at home? Is it... my sister?"

The person in the family most likely to have an accident is Hanhan, so Ji Xinyu's first target was her older sister. Heaven knows how fast Ji Xinyu's heart was beating when she said those two words.

Ever since her sister went on the mission, Ji Xinyu has been praying for her sister's safe return every day. As long as there is no bad news, it is good news. When she fought with the mercenaries, her brother said that Hanhan would encounter these reckless bandits in the future.

What Ji Jiale didn't say was that her father had made protective preparations long ago, but Hanhan still got into trouble, which was what her father felt guilty about.

After a few seconds of silence, Ji Hancheng affectionately took the helmet his daughter had forgotten to put on the shelf and said in a low voice, "Hanhan is upstairs. Go see her and talk to her."

Ji Xinyu squinted at her father. She didn't see the joy of Hanhan's return on his face, only a depressed atmosphere and sadness. Her father looked very tired.

Without a second thought, she ran past her father and up the stairs, two steps at a time, gripping the handrail.

Downstairs, Ji Hancheng held the helmet he had taken from his daughter and fell silent. He didn't plan to follow her immediately; for some reason, he didn't want to see his daughter cry.

When Ji Xinyu arrived at Hanhan's door, she was a little timid and didn't dare to open her sister's door immediately. She held the handrail, paused for a while, and mentally prepared herself before closing her eyes and swishing open the door.

The scene that greeted her almost made her collapse to the ground. Her vision blurred, obscuring the room and the person lying on the bed. The first thing she saw when she stood at the door was not her sister, but those cold machines.

She was a medical student, and seeing these things gave her a bad feeling. What kind of good person would need so many instruments attached to their body?

Her legs felt like lead as she struggled to move to the bedside. Lost in her grief, Ji Xinyu was completely unaware that her brother was behind her, and Ji Jiale, who was following behind, did not call out to his sister.

He had to cry it out eventually; there was nothing wrong with it. He wanted his sister to release her emotions. He leaned against the doorframe with a gloomy face, feeling a bit like smoking and very irritable.

Hearing the noise, Tang Junyao pushed open the door and came out. When she arrived at her daughter's room, she saw her son leaning against the door frame with a gloomy face, not saying a word. The living room downstairs was brightly lit, so there was obviously someone downstairs.

Seeing her daughter struggle to walk to Hanhan's side, her trembling hands touching the cold medical equipment, she knelt by the bed, reached out to touch Hanhan's cheek, and asked in a soft, broken voice, "Sister, what's wrong?"

An even more broken voice followed, "Sis, you're lying. You said you wouldn't get hurt if you joined the special forces, you're lying."
