Lovely Substitute Bride

She just looked at them coldly, "Whether you can understand it or not, you and I both know it. Tiantian is soft, but I won't be merciful to you. "    

"From today onwards, you are all in Ruan Family, and are not allowed to go anywhere other than your own courtyard!"    

Ruan Lee was once the Patriarch of Ruan Family after all.    

It immediately stunned Liu Meilan and her mother.    

Ruan Jiani pointed at her. "You, you …" What right do you have to do that? "    

"Just based on the fact that I've been the Patriarch of the Ruan Family for more than ten years, based on the fact that you're people of the Ruan Family."    

Ruan Lee sneered, "You don't want to follow the rules I set for you? Yes, you can immediately leave now, and from now on, you are not allowed to enter Ruan Family's gate again! "    

Were they going to chase them away?    

Ruan Jiani muttered to herself, unable to speak.    

No matter how scheming she was, she couldn't stop a single word from Ruan Lee.    

Looking for Ruan Lei?    

It was impossible for Ruan Lei to help them again. He had clearly said that if anything happened to them, Ruan Lei would not interfere.    

In other words, if Ruan Lee wanted to kick them out, they really wouldn't have any chance to resist.    

Liu Meilan looked at Ruan Jiani, then carefully glanced at Ruan Lee. After thinking for a moment, she finally gave in and nodded.    

"We won't go anywhere but our own courtyard."    

Ruan Jiani wanted to object, but Liu Meilan shook her head.    

The situation was better than the people.    

They had no choice but to obey Ruan Lee's orders.    

"I advise you to behave yourselves." Ruan Lee's deep gaze fell on Liu Meilan and Ruan Jiani, "Don't let me know you're up to something, otherwise, I won't let you off."    

She passed them and left the hall.    

Anger was written all over Ruan Jiani's face. "What's there to be proud of!?" "One day, one day …"    

When she becomes the Patriarch of Ruan Family, what about Wen Tiantian and Ruan Lee, she will drive them all away!    

"Don't be angry," Liu Meilan sighed softly. "Right now, the limelight is on everyone's minds. If we go into hibernation, it might be a wise move."    

Although she did not see them, she knew that there were people watching them from all around.    

Monitor their every move.    

However, Ruan Jiani felt that something wasn't right.    

"Mom, don't you think it's strange?"    

Ruan Jiani and Liu Meilan returned to their own room and closed the door before they started chatting.    

"Strange? What's strange? "    

Liu Meilan was completely befuddled and didn't understand what her daughter was saying at all.    

Ruan Jiani could only explain to her, "Think about it. Didn't she, Ruan Lee, go to the villa to recuperate? Why did she suddenly come back?"    

"Maybe he missed Wen Tiantian?" Liu Meilan thought for a moment.    

After all, Wen Tiantian had just returned from her honeymoon, so it was only natural for Ruan Lee to come visit her.    

"Your words make sense, but why would she want to settle the score with us when she came to see Wen Tiantian?"    

Ruan Jiani had a nagging feeling that there was a connection.    

She couldn't figure it out at the moment, so she wanted to ask Liu Meilan to keep her company.    

"Did Wen Tiantian say something to her?"    

Liu Meilan could only think of this possibility.    

Ruan Jiani retracted her gaze. She still felt that it wasn't that simple.    

She thought for a moment and finally said, "I have to check."    

"How do you check?"    

Liu Meilan frowned in disagreement. "Ruan Lee is staring at us, yet you still want to investigate?"    

"Don't worry, I have my ways."    

Ruan Jiani pursed her lips, her eyes brimming with confidence.    

"..."    

Wen Tiantian was not in a good condition. Even though Wen Hongyu and Ruan Lee were accompanying her and taking care of her every step of the way, she was still losing weight at a rate visible to the naked eye.    

Ruan Lee's heart ached every time she saw how weak Wen Tiantian was.    

"Tiantian, what do you want to eat today? I'll tell the kitchen to cook."    

Even though she was worried about the pain, she continued to smile warmly in front of Wen Tiantian.    

Wen Tiantian had no appetite, but when she saw Ruan Lee's expectant gaze, she forced herself to answer.    

Ruan Lee acted as if she had received some important instruction, quickly running to the kitchen and instructing the kitchen staff to do it.    

Wen Tiantian looked at Ruan Lee's back as she left, her expression somewhat gloomy.    

She didn't know if she would ever have the chance to show her filial piety to her parents again in the future.    

She could see that Wen Hongyu and Ruan Lee were both planning to make her give up her child.    

It was only because he was afraid of provoking her that he didn't mention it.    

Thinking of this, Wen Tiantian placed her hand on her abdomen.    

A flash of gentleness passed through his eyes.    

"Miss?"    

Xu Ping's voice came from outside the door.    

Wen Tiantian whispered, "Come in."    

She watched as Xu Ping walked in, then asked him: "What is it, do you need me for anything?"    

The butler nodded, "Miss, Mr Ji is here."    

Ji Jingchen?    

He came … Did you come to see her?    

Wen Tiantian nodded and did not say a word.    

For a moment, the butler didn't know what Wen Tiantian was thinking. He just stood there, waiting for Wen Tiantian's reply.    

After a long time, Ji Ping thought that Wen Tiantian wouldn't speak again, but he heard her sigh.    

"Let him come."    

Ji Ping hurriedly went into the living room to bring Ji Jingchen over after receiving his orders.    

Wen Hongyu and Ruan Lee were a little worried, so they followed Ji Jingchen to Wen Tiantian's bedroom.    

Wen Tiantian couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw them mustering such a large force. "Why are all of you here?"    

Wen Hongyu and Ruan Lee looked at each other, but did not say anything. They were worried that Ji Jingchen's overbearing attitude towards Wen Tiantian would make her sad.    

Although the two of them heard Ji Jingchen talk about the cause and effect of Tiantian's hospitalization, they both understood him.    

However, in front of his daughter and son-in-law, it was obvious who he trusted and feared the most.    

Not to mention that Wen Tiantian was pregnant right now, so she was a key target to protect.    

He couldn't afford to lose anything.    

These words were hard to say, so they naturally wouldn't say it out loud.    

Therefore, Ruan Lee came up with a better reason, "Jingchen rarely comes here. I came over to ask him what he would like to eat and told the kitchen to cook it."    

It matched the earlier question about what Wen Tiantian wanted to eat.    

Wen Tiantian did not doubt him and cast a questioning gaze at Ji Jingchen.    

Ji Jingchen's gaze only fell on Wen Tiantian's body as he replied, "Whatever Tiantian eats, I'll eat."    

He didn't pick.    

Ruan Lee glanced at him, then looked at her slightly moved daughter. She didn't say anything more, and left with Wen Hongyu.    

"What for? I looked at Ji Jingchen to prevent him from bullying Tiantian. "    

Wen Hongyu was on guard against Ji Jingchen like a wolf.    

Previously, he was quite satisfied with Ji Jingchen, but the present time was different from the past.    

Tiantian's illness was too severe, so they didn't dare to be careless.    

He wished that he could always be by his daughter's side.    

"As for the matter between them, it's best if we don't get involved."    

Ruan Lee saw through it more than he did, "If there's anyone in this world who can persuade Tiantian to give up on her child, then that person can only be Ji Jingchen. He also doesn't feel good about it."    

Compared to the unborn child, she and Wen Hongyu would rather see a healthy Wen Tiantian.    

No one wanted Wen Tiantian to take the risk.    

Wen Hongyu felt upset, but he had to admit that Ruan Lee was right.    

He sighed heavily.    

"That's all we can do now."    

Helpless, he had no choice but to accompany Ruan Lee to the kitchen.
