Chapter 149: Protecting the Weak

Ji Lingchen’s heart ached when he saw his wife weeping like that. He wished he could hug her and comfort her. How could he be angry? He smiled and waved at his wife. “Come here.”

Fang Xiaonuan shrank back and shook her head. “I’m scared.”

Old Master Ji said, “Xiaonuan, where did your courage go? Why are you so scared when you see Lingchen?”

Ji Lingchen’s gaze locked onto the bruise on his wife’s arm. His eyes darkened, and his mood instantly sank. He looked like a dangerous predator now, and his eyes were bloodthirsty.

Fang Xiaonuan was very observant. She immediately noticed that her husband’s expression had changed, but she thought that he was angry at her. She could not hold it in anymore and cried out loud.

Ji Wen frowned. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying again?”

“Hubby, I made a mistake.” She sobbed. Fang Xiaonuan admitted her mistake and continued crying.

The police officer could not stand it anymore. He opened the cell door and let Fang Xiaonuan out.

But Fang Xiaonuan did not dare to come out. She was afraid of being scolded by her husband.

Ji Wen asked, “Are you going out or not? If you’re not going out, I’m going out.”

The police officer pushed Ji Wen back and said, “You haven’t been bailed out. You can’t come out.”

Ji Wen was speechless. He pointed at Ji Lingchen and said, “He’s my biological uncle!”

The police officer looked at Ji Lingchen and then at the documents he was holding. “But CEO Ji is here to bail out his wife. He didn’t bail his nephew out.”

Ji Wen’s heart broke. It broke into pieces.

Lingchen’s heart also hurt upon hearing his wife’s painful cries. He simply walked into the prison and stood in front of his wife. He reached out to wipe the tears on his wife’s face and said extremely gently, “Be good. Don’t cry anymore, okay?”

Fang Xiaonuan pouted and barely stopped crying.

Only then did Ji Lingchen gently take her arm. He carefully looked at the wounds on it, and his eyes were filled with heartache.

Fang Xiaonuan sobbed. “Hubby, do you hate me?”

Ji Lingchen replied, “Hating you would not make my heart hurt this much.”

Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan could not hold it in any longer. She opened her arms and threw herself into her husband’s arms, starting to cry again.

A moment later, Feng Qi and Mayor Ji arrived.

Seeing the two of them, the police officer quickly saluted and greeted them. “Mayor Ji, Madam Ji, why are you here?”

Mayor Ji pointed at Ji Wen. “To bail him out.”

Ji Wen said with a slightly aggrieved tone, “Dad, Mom, you’re finally here. Quickly bail me out!”

The students next door were so shocked that they could not close their mouths. What was their relationship?

Feng Qi saw that her sister-in-law was also here and that she was crying. She was so worried that she forgot about her son. She walked straight to Fang Xiaonuan and asked, “Xiaonuan, what happened to you? Don’t scare me. Why are you crying like this? Are you hurt? Tell me!”

Fang Xiaonuan had a childish temper. She hugged Ji Lingchen and refused to let go. Sobbing, she said, “Sister-in-law, I’m… I’m fine.”

Feng Qi did not believe her. How could she be fine when she was crying like this? She asked anxiously, “Tell me the truth. Don’t make me worry. What’s wrong?”

Ji Wen walked over and pulled his mother’s arm. “Mom, your son is still here. Your son, me!”

Feng Qi did not even look at Ji Wen. She pushed him away and looked at Fang Xiaonuan worriedly.

It was Ji Lingchen who explained, “Sister-in-law, Xiaonuan is fine. She just saw and started crying. She’s acting coquettishly.”

Feng Qi was speechless.

Then, Fang Xiaonuan, who had stopped crying, nodded in agreement. “Yes, sister-in-law, I’m fine. I won a fight.”

Mayor Ji finished the bail procedures and came out with his son.

The six members of the Ji family left the police station together.

The students who were still locked in the cell did not speak for a long time. Now, they understood that they had gotten it all wrong!

The news that they learned today was enough to shock the entire capital!

Firstly, Fang Xiaonuan did not have a sugar daddy. The old man was her father-in-law!

Second, the school belle was already married. Her husband was the king of the business world in Jing City, Ji Lingchen!

Third, the Prince Charming was not only the son of an official, but also the heir of a rich family!

Fourth, the Prince Charming and the school belle were not together every day because they were in a relationship, but because they were family. They were aunt and nephew!

After thinking through these points, everyone was dumbfounded! Everyone recalled the content that was posted on the forum. How ridiculous and absurd!
