Ye Wanqing accidentally learned from Qin Zhuyu's casual chat that Mrs. Lin had personally stepped into the Ji family's door to seek justice for her.

At that moment, her heart was filled with indescribable emotion and warmth.

Although her foot injury gradually improved under the doctor's careful treatment, after three days of rest, she still could not walk freely, and every step was accompanied by slight pain.

This made her feel a little helpless, and her original plan to go to the Lin family's old house to express her gratitude to Mrs. Lin in person had to be put on hold temporarily.

The news that Mrs. Lin had personally gone to the Ji family for her spread quickly in the circle. From then on, those who had previously looked down on or neglected Ye Wanqing all changed their attitudes.

After all, who would dare to offend this daughter-in-law of the Lin family who has been recognized by Mrs. Lin?

In order to preserve the reputation and interests of the Ji family, Ji Xinyu's parents and Ji Yang had to make a difficult decision to give up Ji Xinyu.

Faced with overwhelming evidence, the fact that Ji Xinyu hit Ye Wanqing with his car was irrefutable, and the surveillance video clearly recorded the thrilling scene.

If Ye Wanqing hadn't reacted quickly, she would have died under the wheels.

Ji Xinyu has now been formally charged and is awaiting a preliminary trial in two months.

She was temporarily detained in a prison in the capital, unaware of what was happening in the outside world, and naively imagined that she would be free soon.

However, when Ji's mother told her the truth during her visit, her world collapsed in an instant.

"Xinyu, don't blame your parents. You are not the only child we have, and you are not the only one in the Ji family!" Ji's mother said with tears in her eyes, looking at her little daughter with eyes full of helplessness and heartache.

Ji Xinyu seemed to be struck by lightning. He trembled all over and looked at his crying mother through the glass window: "You have given up on me, haven't you?"

Mother Ji did not answer, but her tears had silently answered Ji Xinyu's question. At this moment, Ji Xinyu finally understood that she had been abandoned by her family.

"You did something wrong! Ji Xinyu, do you know what you did wrong?" There was pain and anger in Ji's mother's voice. She really couldn't accept that her beloved daughter would do such a lawless thing.

The mother and daughter started arguing in the visiting room. Finally, Ji Xinyu hung up the phone angrily and ignored her mother. Ji's mother was so angry that she left the visiting room trembling.

After returning to the cell, Ji Xinyu finally felt an unprecedented fear. Without the support of the Ji family, how long would she stay in prison? Although Ye Wanqing was not dead, she was guilty of intentional injury. What kind of sentence would await her?

Two months passed in a flash, and Ji Xinyu was sentenced to four years and five months in prison for intentional injury.

She was dissatisfied with the verdict and wanted to appeal to the Intermediate Court, but the Ji family no longer supported her. In despair and helplessness, Ji Xinyu finally gave up the appeal and accepted the verdict of the first instance.

As November quietly passed, Ye Wanqing's foot injury was completely healed.

There was only an obvious scar left on the instep of her foot, which was like a mark in her heart, always reminding her of that thrilling experience.

After Lin Xuan learned about this, he sent someone to bring scar removal cream from abroad. Ye Wanqing tried it with great anticipation, but found that the effect wasn't what she had hoped for. So, she put the bottle of scar removal cream aside and stopped using it.

After Ji Xinyu's incident, rumors began to spread in the circle that Lin Xuan and Ye Wanqing were about to get married. This made Su Zimo feel an indescribable emotion, and he rushed back from his trip.

"Sister Wanqing, are you getting married?" Su Zimo looked at Ye Wanqing, his eyes filled with a hint of uneasiness and anxiety. It was as if he had returned to that night seven years ago, when he had asked her the same question, and she had calmly handed him a glass of water.

Ye Wanqing smiled and handed him a cup of hot water: "Where did you hear that?"

"Everyone is talking about it." Su Zimo scratched his head awkwardly, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

Su Zimo and Ye Wanqing have always been known as brother and sister in the entertainment industry, but the outside world has never believed this.

They had always believed that Ye Wanqing was the financial backer behind Su Zimo, and that Su Zimo was the actor she had made famous. Now, with the news that Ye Wanqing was about to marry Lin Xuan, Su Zimo couldn't help but worry about his future.

Over the past two weeks, he had heard more than once that others had "congratulated" him on this matter, but in reality, it was just sarcasm. He knew that once Ye Wanqing got married, his "financial sponsor" would most likely abandon him.

So, after finishing filming, he didn't tell his agent Li Meng and bought a plane ticket to fly back. Ever since Ye Wanqing avoided him at the beginning of the year, he never had the chance to appear in front of her again.

This was after Qingming Festival, half a year later, the two met again.

Seven years ago, when Ye Wanqing was about to marry Lin Xuan, he had asked her the same question. Back then, she had also calmly handed him a glass of water and told him that she was indeed going to marry Lin Xuan. Seven years later, Su Zimo did not expect the situation to be so similar.

Ye Wanqing looked at him with a hint of tenderness and consolation in her eyes: "You are not young anymore. If you meet someone you like, just pursue him. It's time to have a good relationship."

She paused and continued, "As for my affairs, you don't have to worry about them. I will take care of it."

Su Zimo looked at her, opened his mouth, and finally swallowed his words. He knew he had no right to say those words to keep her. He lowered his head silently, drinking the hot water in the cup, feeling a mixture of emotions.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Lin Xuan is indeed an outstanding person. Whether in terms of appearance, talent or family background, he is a perfect match for Ye Wanqing.

After so many years of emotional entanglement, it was time for Su Zimo to let go. He looked up at Ye Wanqing, a relieved smile on his face: "I have saved a little over the years. Sister Wanqing, if you get married, you must tell me. I have to prepare a big gift for you!"

Ye Wanqing looked at Su Zimo, her eyes filled with relief and warmth. She also smiled and responded, "Don't worry. How could I possibly hide such an important matter from you?"

Twelve years have passed, and the once confused boy has transformed into a mature and steady man.

Just as the two were talking happily, there were light footsteps coming from the stairs.

Su Zimo subconsciously looked over there and saw Lin Xuan standing at the stairs. His eyes flickered for a moment, but soon returned to composure.

He turned to Ye Wanqing and said, "Sister Wanqing, I should go back. Sister Meng doesn't know I'm back yet."

Ye Wanqing nodded gently: "Be careful on the road."

"I'll text you when I get home." Su Zimo waved his hand and turned to walk towards the stairs.

When passing by Lin Xuan, he paused slightly and glanced at Lin Xuan out of the corner of his eye. That look seemed to contain thousands of words, but it eventually turned into a silent warning.

He said nothing, just stayed for a short while before continuing to go downstairs and leave.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly and walked in front of Ye Wanqing: "Why did he suddenly come here?"

"He thought we were getting married." Ye Wanqing answered with a smile, her eyes falling gently on Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan put his arm around her waist, his eyes filled with anticipation: "So do you want to get married?"

Ye Wanqing did not answer directly, but just stared at him quietly, her eyes full of deep meaning.

Lin Xuan understood her expression. Although he felt a little disappointed, he soon felt relieved. He lowered his head and gently kissed her lips: "It's okay. There's no need to worry about the throne in our family."

Ye Wanqing couldn't help laughing when she heard him say that: "Aren't you afraid that Mrs. Lin will be anxious?"

Lin Xuan smiled slightly: "Of course she hopes that we will get married soon so that she can hold her grandchild sooner. But Mrs. Lin is a reasonable person. As long as we are happy, she will not interfere too much."

Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows: "Then why did Mrs. Lin keep urging you to get married?"

Mentioning this topic, Lin Xuan was also slightly startled. Thinking back, wasn't it because Mrs. Lin kept urging him to go on blind dates that he and Ye Wanqing signed that so-called "contract marriage"?

He came back to his senses, gently stroked Ye Wanqing's cheek, lowered his head and touched his forehead to hers, looking at her affectionately: "Maybe Mrs. Lin thought I was not mature and steady enough at that time."

Ye Wanqing thought about it and nodded: "Indeed, you were quite playful back then."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan smiled, gently held her face, and kissed her affectionately again.

Now, he is no longer the cynical boy, but a man who is willing to give everything for Ye Wanqing. He no longer intends to live a conventional life, but only wants to be with Ye Wanqing and enjoy their sweet time.
