Lovely Substitute Bride

"What's the matter?"    

Although Ji Kang had long gotten used to Ji Jingchen's voice, he still felt guilty and heartbroken every time he heard it.    

He paused and said, "I heard Yiyan and Cui Qin discussing just now. It seems like they are threatening you."    

Ji Kang was worried about Ji Jingchen Cheng's safety, so he told him about this matter.    

However, Ji Jingchen didn't believe it at all.    

To Ji Jingchen, there was nothing that he could trust.    

"Is that so?"    

"His voice is even colder." You called me to tell me if this is one of your schemes? "    

Ji Kang immediately shook his head when he heard that.    

"No, they didn't know that I had discovered them. Be careful, it might have something to do with Liu Ting … "    

Ji Jingchen's voice became colder after hearing that.    

"I don't want to hear my mother's name from you. You don't deserve it."    

Ji Kang was instantly speechless. A bitter smile appeared on his face.    

"Sorry …"    

"It might have something to do with your mother."    

Ji Jingchen said harshly, "You don't have to worry about that!"    

When Ji Kang heard this, he said helplessly, "Jingchen, you know that I mean no harm to you and your mother."    

"No malice? You let her give birth to me and keep her in the basement for twelve years? "    

"Don't say it wasn't your idea. If you don't agree, then why didn't you rescue her?"    

Ji Kang shook his head and tried to explain again, "No, I was drunk and Xu Cuiqin drugged me. I really didn't know about their plan …"    

"I'm also very regretful, but I simply don't have the right to speak at Ji Family …"    

Ji Kang smiled bitterly as he said that.    

However, Ji Jingchen turned a deaf ear.    

To his father who was related to him by blood, in his heart, he was a man worse than a rapist!    

Ji Kang knew that no matter how he tried to explain himself, he wouldn't believe him. He could only helplessly say: "There are a lot of things that happened in the past that you don't understand …"    

Sighing, he said, "I've told you everything I know. I hope you'll be careful and not get into trouble again."    

Ji Jingchen sneered: "Why are you telling me this?"    

"Because you are my son."    

Ji Jingchen said coldly, "Ji Yiyan is your child, and I don't have a father like you."    

After saying that, without waiting for Ji Kang's explanation, Ji Jingchen directly hung up the phone.    

Ji Kang wanted to say something, but he realized that the person had already left.    

He smiled wryly as he hung up the phone. Just as he was about to turn around, an angry voice came from behind him.    

"What are you doing?"    

Ji Kang was so scared that he quickly turned his head around and saw Ji Yuanwu standing behind him.    

He didn't know how long he had been standing there. Just how much had he heard of the conversation between him and Ji Jingchen?    

He suddenly felt a burst of panic in his heart.    

"Father, why are you here?"    

Ji Yuanwu looked at the phone in his hand with a dark expression.    

"If I still don't come, are you going to give away everything regarding Ji Family? "And to destroy Yiyan's plan!"    

Ji Kang shook his head and said, "Don't let the two of them bear the grudges that you left behind in your previous life. It's not easy for Ji Jingchen as well …"    

"He's pitiful?"    

Ji Yuanwu snorted discontentedly, "He stole the entire Ji Family, what's there to be sorry about?"    

He looked at Ji Kang, and said with disgust: "I thought you were just stupid, I didn't expect you to be so weak and useless! It's even worse than a woman! "    

"Even Cui Qin could not catch up, I really don't know why I made you stay back then! I won't give you a chance to sabotage our plans. "    

Ji Kang took a step back in fear when he saw Ye Zichen's expression.    

"Dad, what are you doing?"    

Ji Yuanwu raised his hand and called a few people over.    

"Since you think they are so pitiful, then take a good look at where they lived back then."    

With that, he said to the bodyguards, "Take him to the basement and lock him up. Without my permission, do not let him out!"    

Ji Kang's expression changed drastically.    

"What can't you do? "Dad …"    

Ji Yuanwu rolled his eyes.    

"I don't have a son like you."    

With that, he turned and left.    

Ji Kang wanted to continue chasing, but he was stopped by the bodyguards beside him.    

His face darkened as he berated, "Which one of you dares to touch me?"    

The bodyguards looked at each other, but they only listened to Ji Yuanwu's orders.    

Everyone knew that Ji Kang no longer had any real power in the Ji Family.    

They quickly sent Ji Kang to the basement and locked him up in the same place that they used to imprison Ji Jingchen and Liu Ting.    

It had been a long time since anyone had come to this small room, and a lot of dust had long since fallen from the ceiling.    

Ji Kang looked around and couldn't imagine how Ji Jingchen and Liu Ting spent so much time here back then.    

He sighed and sat down in the chair.    

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault …"    

If he had asked for more information and refused their requests, he wouldn't have ended up like this …    

Ji Jingchen had just hung off the phone with Ji Kang.    

He turned his head and instructed the butler, "From now on, you don't need to receive any calls from Ji Family."    

The butler nodded and quickly replied.    

Ever since that day, Wen Tiantian had a ring on her finger.    

Everyone in the castle knew that Ji Jingchen and Wen Tiantian's good news was coming.    

At this time, they definitely could not let anyone from the Ji Family stir up trouble.    

After receiving Ji Jingchen's order, the butler immediately notified the others.    

Anything related to Ji Family must be stopped outside the ancient fortress, so as not to disturb Ji Jingchen and Wen Tiantian.    

After Ji Jingchen finished with the order, he turned around and walked out.    

Wen Tiantian was standing in the garden, working with the staff to prune the rose wall in the yard.    

The two of them moved a little closer to each other.    

Ji Jingchen saw their actions and took a deep breath.    

After a while, his tense face finally relaxed.    

He walked over and stood between the two of them, with his bracelet on Wen Tiantian's waist.    

"How is it?"    

When Wen Tiantian saw him coming, she realized that she was too close to the gardener.    

She quickly avoided him, while carefully observing Ji Jingchen's expression, she was worried that his condition would take a turn for the worse.    

Although Ji Jingchen's performance was normal during this period of time.    

However, the things that had happened previously had truly shocked her, and she had no choice but to worry about them.    

The gardener also jumped in fright when he saw Ji Jingchen. He quickly nodded at him and quickly left.    

Now, everyone knew about Ji Jingchen's illness.    

To him, Wen Tiantian was more important than anything else.    

For the time being, they would try their best to avoid having any contact with Wen Tiantian. This was already a standard requirement in the castle.    

Ji Jingchen noticed Wen Tiantian was still sizing him up and said with a smile, "Don't worry."    

Wen Tiantian shook her head and pulled his hand.    

"Sorry."    

Ji Jingchen shook his head.    

"It's alright, you don't have to worry about me."
