The next day, the sun shone brightly and a gentle breeze blew.

However, Ji Hancheng's mood was not as good as the weather; on the contrary, it was quite the opposite.

He hadn't slept in Fenghua Courtyard for a long time, and he couldn't sleep last night. He couldn't sleep at all.

That's why he had Xu Mingkai pick him up early this morning to go to the Ji residence to see Old Master Ji.

Grandpa Ji was leisurely having breakfast at the dining table. Seeing his grandson with a sour face, his mood improved even more.

She took a sip of soy milk and said unhurriedly, "You're here so early today to have breakfast with me. Assistant Xu is here too. Come sit down and have some with us. Aunt Ji, please add two more sets of chopsticks and bowls."

The quick-witted Aunt Ji brought over two sets of bowls and chopsticks, along with some breakfast.

Ji Hancheng stood still, and Xu Mingkai naturally didn't move either.

Grandpa Ji wasn't in a hurry and continued leisurely, "If you need me for something, you should have breakfast first. Have a seat."

Ji Hancheng reluctantly sat down, took a sip of milk, and asked, "Grandpa, did you have someone process her divorce last night?"

Upon hearing this, the old man concealed his joy. "That's right. The girl came to me hoping I would spare your life. She didn't want to keep you tied up like this. She tried to persuade me for a long time with great earnestness. So I will grant your wish, so that I won't hinder your true love because of this old man."

"Grandpa, where did I get true love from? You didn't even tell me about the divorce." There was a hint of grievance in her voice.

After finishing his breakfast, the old man wiped his mouth, glanced at his grandson, and then at Xu Mingkai, who was silently eating his breakfast to minimize his presence. "Why should I inform you? The divorce doesn't have to be with you. Besides, you're so busy, and you still want to date."

Ji Hancheng retorted again, "I am not in a relationship."

Grandpa Ji stared intently at his grandson. "Didn't you keep her trending on social media? Wasn't it all to give Miss Lu a proper status? Or was it to attract someone's attention?"

Ji Hancheng was speechless. He admitted that he had indeed asked Xu Mingkai to put him on the trending list, and that he did have some purpose, but he couldn't admit it.

Seeing that his proud grandson remained silent, Old Master Ji turned his gaze to Xu Mingkai, only to be met with a sharp and serious look in his eyes. "Did you order the trending topic to be posted?"

Ji Hancheng: "............" This is a veiled reference to him.

Xu Mingkai hurriedly denied it, "It wasn't me, I didn't."

Ji Hancheng knew that his grandfather had done it on purpose, and readily admitted, "I asked him to hang it up."

Grandpa Ji nodded in agreement and approval. "Then it's settled. What did you come here so early in the morning? Now that you don't like this marriage, I've personally ended it for you. You can do whatever you want. You're so free. Or did you develop feelings for the relationship and can't bear to part with it?"

Ji Hancheng was so angry he felt like he was about to burst, but he couldn't refute it. He had never felt so powerless. He stood up, unbuttoned the tight buttons on his collar, and said, "Grandpa, I'm going back to the company."

Grandpa Ji ignored him and instead said to Butler Ji in high spirits, "I'm in a great mood today, quickly bring me some more xiaolongbao."

Butler Ji smiled and went into the kitchen, taking out a few small steamed buns and putting them on a plate.

I placed it on the table as a reminder to Mr. Ji, "You can only eat so much, no more. Your wife will scold you for overeating."

After the old lady passed away, Mr. Ji became indulgent. A few years ago, he almost developed diabetes because he liked to eat sweets. After that, Yuan Shu paid special attention to his diet and managed it very strictly.

From any perspective, Yuan Shu is outstanding and dedicated.

However, Ji Hang's leg problem has worsened these past few days, so Yuan Shu accompanied him to Lancheng for treatment.

Old Master Ji frowned. "I know, but don't report me when my daughter-in-law comes back."

Butler Ji: "Master, are you really going to abandon the young master and just let them separate like this?"

"Otherwise, it's because this kid doesn't cherish her. Who can he blame? If he had just admitted that he cares about her, I might have been able to help him. But look at the way he acted just now, so arrogant that he didn't even recognize Yuan Shu. Humph."

Tiss Boxing Gym.

The man sweated profusely, his movements as swift as lightning, punching the equipment tirelessly.

His white shirt was soaked through, yet he continued to throw punches mechanically. Xu Mingkai, standing to the side, didn't dare to breathe and could only wait silently.

After leaving the Ji residence, Ji Hancheng did not return to the company. He was feeling frustrated after being scolded by the old man all morning, and he was venting his anger at the boxing gym.

"Oh, training? What a rare guest." Han Yue leaned against the doorway with his hands in his pockets, his legs propped up meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Ji Hancheng neither stopped what he was doing nor answered.

Xu Mingkai cautiously took a few steps back and said to Han Yue, "Young Master Han, why don't you try to persuade Young Master Ji? He's been hitting him for over an hour, almost two hours. If he keeps going, his hands will be ruined."

He himself dared not offer any advice, for the man would not listen to reason at all.

It might even affect South Africa.

But Han Shao is different; he won't be sent to South Africa.

How large is the shadow cast by Xu Mingkai on South Africa?

Han Yue chewed his gum and said unhurriedly, "Let him be crippled. Once he's crippled, things will be peaceful. No rush."

Xu Mingkai: Aren't you in a hurry? Then there'll be a disabled Young Master Ji in Beijing.

Han Yue didn't leave either. He just leaned lazily against the door, watching the man vent his anger with great interest. It was quite amusing. This was the first time he had seen Ji Hancheng like this.

After about ten minutes, Ji Hancheng was too exhausted to continue and collapsed to the ground.

Xu Mingkai wisely took the towel and some soda water and handed them over.

Seeing this, Han Yue also walked over and sat down next to him.

Xu Mingkai left the room, closing the door behind him with a heartwarming gesture, and let Han Yue comfort Ji Shao.

Han Yue propped himself up with his hands behind his back, half-lying down, and turned to look at Ji Hancheng, saying, "I'm unhappy because of the divorce." It couldn't be more direct.

"No, I haven't practiced in a long time, so I'm just practicing a bit."

Han Yue licked his molars and smiled, "I'm not reluctant. We've slept together once, after all."

Ji Hancheng looked at Han Yue with slight surprise.

He quickly regained his composure, "There's nothing to be reluctant about. I don't even like her. It's just an agreement."

Han Yue patted him on the shoulder and praised, "Good job, keep it up."

Keep being your proud and aloof self.

Han Yue understood perfectly. This man was too proud to admit it; he felt ashamed to have fallen for a wife he had been forced to marry. He was quite arrogant indeed.

He's waiting for women to chase after him, without even considering that his partner is like that.

Han Yue, who had gotten up and walked outside the door, spoke up, "Young Master Su recently sent Qin Kai to investigate the talent reserve project, which is a project of the Imperial Capital Hospital. Your ex-wife may be going abroad."

Ji Hancheng was stunned for a moment. Was she going abroad?

As Han Yue reached the door, Xu Mingkai asked, "How is Young Master Ji?"

Han Yue smirked, "You're courting death."

Xu Mingkai: So Han Shao's persuasion was in vain? Did he fail to persuade her, or is he unable to win back his mistress?
