Yan Ji gave him a look as if he was a fool, turned around and went into the apartment building. Gu Chenye wanted to follow him, but she locked him outside the door.

When she got home and just turned on her phone to watch some videos to kill time, she received a call from Sheng Rugu: "I found a journalist friend I know, and I gave her all the evidence you gave me and the things you asked me to investigate. Once it's published, your disgusting face towards your adoptive parents will be known to the whole internet immediately. Then we'll see if those haters still have the nerve to say that you don't support your parents."

Yan Ji opened the browser and saw his own trending search as expected: "Post it."

"Okay, wait, I'll do you a big favor."

Without even having the chance to ask about her recent situation, Sheng Rugu hung up the phone in a hurry.

Outside the door, Gu Chenye was still knocking, but Yan Ji ignored him and went straight back to her room to take a shower. When she came out, there was no sound outside. She put on a facial mask, cooked herself a bowl of noodles, and took a nap. She dawdled until five in the afternoon before leisurely going out for dinner.

As soon as I opened the door, my eyes met the man's.

I don't know where he got a stool from. He is over 20 meters tall, but sitting on the plastic stool that is less than centimeters high, he looks so cramped. There is no trace of the leisure and ease that he had when he was a domineering CEO.

"Want to go out for dinner? What do you want to eat?" Gu Chenye almost jumped up from the stool. Seeing Yan Ji staring at him, he hurriedly straightened the wrinkles on his clothes and said, "My neighbor gave it to me. She said you don't go out until five or six o'clock recently."

As they were talking, the door next door opened with a click, but it was only opened a crack and no one came out for a long time.

"..."

It seems that loving to eat melons is a human characteristic and has nothing to do with race or country.

Yan Ji didn't want to stand here and be watched, so he closed the door and walked towards the elevator: "Mr. Gu, harassment here will result in a sentence. Your parents probably don't want to come abroad to bail you out for being arrested for sexual harassment. Let me remind you that people with a criminal record for three generations cannot take the civil service exam."

Gu Chenye said, "This is overseas, and the political review of ordinary civil servants is not that strict."

"..."

Yan Ji glanced at him, and the man immediately raised his hands in surrender: "I came here in a hurry and didn't bring the key."

"Find the property management, find the landlord," she stepped into the elevator, "don't follow me."

Under the pressure of her gaze, Gu Chenye really didn't move forward. He just stood at the door and looked at her like a man waiting for his wife. Just as the elevator door was about to close, his stomach growled. As if he had finally found an excuse, he quickly reached out to stop the door: "I haven't eaten since last night. Can I go downstairs and have a meal?"

"..."

"It's in the restaurant next to the community. If you don't say anything, it means you agree."

Yanji: "..."

There was only a tenth of a second between him speaking and entering the elevator, and she didn't even have time to react.

“Have you read the online reviews?”

As soon as the family search program came out, Gu Chenye asked Xie Fangze to investigate, but time had passed so long that no real evidence could be found. People in the town had either died or moved away over the years, and those who remained were afraid of being troubled by Zeng's wife's husband and were unwilling to serve as witnesses. Later, after much persuasion and giving a lot of money, he finally persuaded a few people to appear in the media.

This took a lot of time, and Xie Fangze only returned from that town with his men yesterday.

He had originally planned to make arrangements after asking Yan Ji's opinion today, but before he could make arrangements, the evil deeds of Zeng Sao's family were exposed, including the huge gambling debts owed by Zeng Sao's husband over the years. Now the Internet is full of curses on the couple.

"..."

Yan Ji didn't respond and didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.

She turned off her phone after talking to Sheng Rugu in the morning, so she didn't see the online public opinion, but she guessed it.

After going downstairs and walking all the way to the gate of the community, Gu Chenye stopped following. Now Yan Ji didn't seem to be so repulsive to him, so he didn't dare to push him too hard.

……

The case of Yan Ji was being hotly discussed online, so the press release went viral as soon as it was released. Sheng Rugu walked home while reading the comments online that cursed Zeng's wife and her husband.

Recently, the store has become more famous and has received more orders, so she simply rented a house nearby, which is only a dozen minutes' walk away.

Just as he was enjoying the melon, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him. Just as Sheng Rugu was about to turn around to look, he was hit hard on the back by a stick, followed by a man's vulgar curse: "It was you, a bitch, who asked the reporters to write nonsense, right? You fucking bitch, you're cutting off my source of income, I'll beat you to death..."

All kinds of dirty words came out of that person's mouth.

Sheng Rugu immediately guessed that the man was Yan Ji's adoptive father. He was afraid of angering him, so he didn't dare to say anything. He just held his head tightly and shouted for help. Fortunately, this was a main road and it was time to get off work, so there were many pedestrians, and the man was quickly subdued.

"Are you OK?"

Someone supported her and asked with concern.

Sheng Rugu turned her head blankly in the direction of the sound. A warm liquid slid across her neck. She reached out and touched it, and her hands were covered in blood.

"There's... something's wrong."

Dizzy and painful.

When she woke up again, she was in a hospital ward. The wound on her head had been bandaged, but her entire back and the back of her head were throbbing in pain. She also felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit. She suspected that she had suffered a concussion.

Perhaps because they were afraid of pressing on her injury, they made her lie on her side. Sheng Rugu didn't dare to move and could only lie there with her eyes open like a corpse.

"Are you awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Sheng Rugu thought he had misheard and looked up suddenly. After confirming that it was Yan Ji sitting on the couch by the window, he asked in surprise and joy, "Why are you back?"

Only then did she notice that the environment of this ward was so luxurious that she could not even imagine it.

"The police called me," she stood up and poured water for Sheng Rugu: "I'm sorry."

Fearing that Yan Ji would feel guilty, she waved her hand in a generous manner: "Hey, it's just a minor injury, it will be fine after some rest."

"There is a five-centimeter wound on the back of my head. It will leave a scar."

"..." Sheng Rugu wanted to hold it back, but after a full minute, he couldn't help it: "If it leaves a scar, then that part won't grow hair anymore? Woo woo..."

Yan Ji: "I'm sorry..."

"Why are you apologizing? You didn't hit me," she cried. She reached out to touch her head, but only felt a thick gauze. "Where's that bastard Ma Shuguo? I'm going to sue him and put him in jail for life. Didn't his mother teach him that a girl's hair is as important as her face? Wow, this ward is so good, how much does it cost a day?"

"..."

As soon as Gu Chenye opened the door of the ward, he heard Sheng Rugu howling like a ghost. Thinking that it was the pain from the wound, he asked Yan Ji, "Do you want a doctor to give you an injection to relieve the pain?"
