Bringing this up again!
Ji Ran felt so wronged she wanted to bite him.
She didn’t want to argue anymore. Instead, she began to express her determination through action.
When Dr. Zhou came over, she refused to let him examine her.
When they tried to feed her medicine, she spat it out. When they tried to give her an injection, she fiercely resisted: “Don’t bother with me, just let me die from this illness!”
“Enough!”
Fu Jingyuan narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed his anger as he coaxed her: “Be good, take your injection and medicine obediently. Once your fever goes down, I’ll allow you to move out.”
“Really, Uncle Fu?”
This was the first time Ji Ran had ever won in a fight against him.
She was overjoyed.
Little did she know, Fu Jingyuan’s eyes flashed with a fleeting, overwhelming murderous intent.
He wanted to see exactly which reckless young punk Ji Ran was going to meet.
The day passed quickly. Under Fu Jingyuan’s meticulous care, Ji Ran’s fever subsided by the next morning.
After breakfast, the young girl eagerly grabbed her suitcase, ready to move out immediately.
After all, there was only one hour left before the effective window for the emergency contraceptive pill expired.
She had to go buy it right away.
“Uncle Fu, I’m leaving. Thank you for taking care of me all these years.”
Ji Ran lowered her head as she said goodbye to Fu Jingyuan, not daring to look at him. Dragging her large suitcase, she hurriedly hailed a taxi outside the Bay One Villa.
“Driver, hurry, to the nearest pharmacy!”
Almost as soon as Ji Ran got into the car, a very low-key limited-edition Maybach began following her.
Secretary Zhang asked respectfully, “President Fu, shall we keep following?”
Fu Jingyuan, his eyes dark and brooding, didn’t open them, his knuckles already white from suppressed tension.
“Follow!”
It took Ji Ran half an hour by taxi just to leave the sprawling, maze-like outer grounds of Fu Jingyuan’s Bay One Estate.
As soon as she entered the pharmacy, she rushed in.
“Quick, doctor, get me a bottle of emergency contraceptive pills.”
Despite hurrying, it was already past the 72-hour window required for the pill to be effective.
It was too late. Ji Ran’s little face instantly fell, crumpling with disappointment.
But it was only about ten minutes past the deadline. Maybe it would still work.
Besides, what were the odds? How could Fu Jingyuan possibly get her pregnant from just one time?
Ji Ran comforted herself and swallowed the emergency contraceptive pill right there in the pharmacy.
Only after taking the pill did she start thinking about where she would live.
Ji Ran actually had quite a lot of pocket money. Although her parents traveled the world all year round and didn’t pay her much attention, her eldest brother transferred her one million a month, and Fu Jingyuan also transferred her one million a month.
She immediately booked a high-end apartment online.
Humming a little tune, the young girl gleefully thought she was about to break free from Fu Jingyuan’s control and gain her freedom.
But when it came time to pay the deposit, she discovered that her cards were frozen!
All three cards! Completely frozen!
She could tolerate Fu Jingyuan freezing her cards.
But why did her eldest brother freeze her cards too?
Fuming, Ji Ran immediately called her eldest brother, Ji Lichuan.
But before she could say a word, she was met with a scolding full of disappointment and frustration.
“Ranran, what’s going on with you? You just turned eighteen, and you’re already talking about dating? Don’t you know how easily deceived you are at this age? And you want to move in with someone? Are you trying to kill me?”
“Thank goodness Jingyuan is there to keep an eye on you. Otherwise, would you be trying to get pregnant and have a baby right away?”
“I’ve frozen your cards! Go back to the Fu family obediently and stop messing around! If you dare date anyone again, I’ll break your legs!”
Ji Lichuan, her eldest brother, was clearly the one who doted on her the most.
Yet he also despised those young punks the most.
As soon as he heard from Fu Jingyuan that she was in a relationship, he flew into a rage and immediately cut off her financial support.
But after all, she was his most beloved younger sister. Ji Lichuan softened his tone and began his earnest lecture.
“Ranran, you’re at that age where you’re easily swept up by romantic feelings and most vulnerable to being deceived by scumbags. It’s not that your big brother wants to stop you, but just look at what happened to your second sister back then… sigh!”
At the mention of their second sister, Ji Nanjin, both fell into a rare silence.
Even after hanging up the phone, Ji Ran remained dejected.
She knew her eldest brother had already been swayed by that scoundrel Fu Jingyuan.
Even if she tried to explain, it would be useless.
Fu Jingyuan had built such an upright image in her family that any protest would only make her seem immature.
She had no choice but to seek help from her second sister, Ji Nanjin.
“Driver, to Xishan Mansion.”
Her second sister, Ji Nanjin, was an aloof, world-weary beauty. She had entered the entertainment industry from a young age and was already a renowned film queen during her university years.
Unfortunately, at the peak of her promising career, she was deceived by a scumbag. At the height of her fame, she gave birth to a daughter and announced an indefinite hiatus from the industry.
Due to a difficult childbirth back then, her health had remained poor ever since, and she lived a secluded life.
When Ji Ran arrived, Ji Nanjin had just returned from Xiangshan Temple.
Nanny Zhang hurriedly stopped her: “Second Miss, the eldest miss just fell asleep. If it’s not urgent, perhaps you could wait a while.”
In recent years, Ji Nanjin had extreme difficulty sleeping and had been taking psychiatric medication. Ji Ran naturally wouldn’t disturb her now.
Ji Ran quietly pulled Nanny Zhang aside: “Nanny Zhang, is my sister still going to the temple regularly?”
Nanny Zhang nodded with a pained expression.
“Second Miss, you know how it was back then. When the young master betrayed her and impulsively married someone else, the eldest miss was so traumatized that she nearly lost the baby.”
Only visiting the temple brought her some solace.
Fortunately, over the years, Shen Ji, the young master who had betrayed her, had faced retribution—due to certain reasons, he ended up behind bars.
