Feeling the softness and sweetness on his lips, Jiang Chen was stunned right there, his eyes wide, filled with shock.

"Ahhh! Get together!"

"Get together! Get together!"

The people in the bar grew even crazier, egging them on.

Jiang Chen snapped out of it and hurriedly pushed Gong Lin away, about to speak, his gaze suddenly froze.

Not far behind Gong Lin, Ye Jingyi stood with her mouth wide open, a look of surprise on her face.

"Jiang Chen!"

Ye Jingyi, seeing Jiang Chen look her way, also snapped out of it and called out in a fluster, stepping forward to slap Jiang Chen.

"What's going on?"

"Who is she?"

"Right, that beauty just now said to let that hunk divorce, could this be his wife?"

"There's some drama to watch now!"

The people in the bar commented gleefully.

Slap!

Gong Lin grabbed Ye Jingyi's hand, her voice cold, "What right do you have to hit him?"

"I'm his wife; he's been with you behind my back, can't I hit him?" Ye Jingyi shouted angrily.

"His wife? Hmph." Gong Lin sneered coldly, "Ye Jingyi, you have no right to be his wife. Don't think I don't know that your marriage is just an agreement, and your entire family looks down on Jiang Chen. He has done so much for you, but you have never trusted him. What right do you have to interfere in his life?"

"You..."

Ye Jingyi's face went from pale to flushed with anger. Although she had never treated Jiang Chen well, hearing another woman point it out made her furious, she lashed out, "What has he done for me? He's nothing but a useless man living off a woman!"

"Is that so? Then what are you doing here looking for him? Don't tell me you came to comfort him," Gong Lin asked, her face cold.

Ye Jingyi was suddenly speechless, hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "I, I want him to treat my sister."

"Haha!" Gong Lin laughed, "Look at you all, you really treat Jiang Chen like a dog, calling on him when you need him and shooing him away when you don't. You summon him and dismiss him at will. Heh, you still have the nerve to come looking for him? When you treated him like that, did you ever think about his feelings?"

After chastising Ye Jingyi, Gong Lin took Jiang Chen's arm, looking at him tenderly, "Jiang Chen, don't mind them. What she can give you, I can too, and what she can't, I will. You've suffered so much in their family; with me, I will make you feel respected and cherished. Come with me."

Ye Jingyi watched dumbfounded as Gong Lin embraced Jiang Chen, her eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.

Gong Lin's words made her feel incredibly conflicted, and as she recalled how Jiang Chen was treated at her home, she suddenly felt the panic of losing something significant.

Jiang Chen's heart warmed as he looked gratefully at Gong Lin, but when he saw the confusion in Ye Jingyi's eyes, thinking of the confidante who had been his companion through countless hard times in his dream memories, his heart softened.

He gently pushed Gong Lin away, Jiang Chen said with a bitter smile, "Gong Lin, thank you for valuing me. But I'm sorry, I can't be with you; I love her."

Ye Jingyi's heart shook fiercely, seeing Jiang Chen reject Gong Lin like this, something deep inside her was touched.

"Jiang Chen, my brother-in-law and sister said they will apologize to you later, and they've agreed. Please, help my sister," Ye Jingyi said, her expression complex.

Jiang Chen nodded, "Okay."

He turned to look at Gong Lin, his voice full of regret, "I'm really sorry."

Gong Lin shook her head slightly, not saying a word.

"Let's go," Jiang Chen called to Ye Jingyi, and together they headed toward the exit of the bar.

Watching their retreating figures, a look of sadness appeared in Gong Lin's eyes, which slowly turned into determination; she murmured softly, "Jiang Chen, a good man like you, I certainly won't give up!"

…

Jiang Chen and Ye Jingyi left the bar and hurried to Jinhai First Hospital.

When he arrived at Ye Yanni's hospital room, Jiang Chen's expression turned cold as he swept a disdainful look over Zhou Ru and the others, staring intently at Wang Dongyang and Ye Yanni.

Zhou Ru and the others had ugly expressions as well, and upon seeing Jiang Chen enter without so much as a greeting, Wang Dongyang and Ye Yanni avoided his gaze.

No apology at all.

After waiting a bit longer, Jiang Chen let out a cold laugh, turned around, and walked towards the door of the ward.

Zhou Ru and the others' faces changed, looking at Ye Jingyi in unison.

"Hey, Jiang Chen," Ye Jingyi called out, quickly reaching out to grab Jiang Chen, and then turned to glare at Wang Dongyang and Ye Yanni, shouting, "Sister, brother-in-law, what did you promise me?"

Wang Dongyang and his companion exchanged glances, speaking with reluctance, "Sorry, okay?"

Not a hint of sincerity.

Jiang Chen's brows furrowed, and he took a step to leave.

Zhou Ru said in a stern voice, "Jiang Chen, Dongyang and Yan Ni have both apologized to you, what else do you want? You want us to kneel down and beg you?"

Ye Jingyi held onto Jiang Chen tightly, her face full of pleading as she looked at him.

Moved, Jiang Chen turned back and approached the bedside.

After taking her pulse, Jiang Chen took out the Silver Needle and administered a few needles to Ye Yanni, then, after withdrawing the needles, he turned and left without a word.

Ye Jingyi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed after him.

"Jiang Chen, my sister..." Ye Jingyi caught up with Jiang Chen and spoke softly.

"Her poison has been cured," said Jiang Chen indifferently.

Ye Jingyi's face lit up with delight, "Thank you."

"Mm," Jiang Chen nodded.

Without another word, Ye Jingyi turned and went back into the ward.

Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, watching Ye Jingyi's retreating figure with a complex expression before leaving the hospital.

"How did it go? What did Jiang Chen say?" Zhou Ru asked anxiously as soon as Ye Jingyi returned.

Ye Jingyi smiled slightly, "Jiang Chen said my sister's poison has been cured."

"Really?" Zhou Ru's face brightened, then she turned to Wang Dongyang, "Hurry, go get the doctor to check!"

"Oh, okay!" Wang Dongyang quickly nodded and dashed out of the ward.

Before long, the doctor arrived and after a thorough examination, he exclaimed in amazement, "It's a miracle! The toxins have been completely removed. How did you do it? Did you seek someone's help?"

Zhou Ru and the others' expressions shifted, and Ye Jianxiong said coolly, "We didn't seek anyone. The toxins just disappeared on their own. Maybe it's because my daughter's body is strong, maybe she has immunity!"

"That's impossible..." the doctor murmured in astonishment.

"Right, we didn't do anything, the toxins just disappeared on their own."

"Exactly, exactly!"

Zhou Ru and the others echoed this sentiment, determined not to acknowledge Jiang Chen's ability. They considered him useless!

Ye Jingyi frowned slightly, about to speak, when Zhou Ru glared at her fiercely, silencing her.

Full of doubts, the doctor left the ward.

"That Jiang Chen is such a bastard! He could have cured Yan Ni's poison but didn't, such an ungrateful wretch." As soon as the doctor left, Zhou Ru cursed outright.

Ye Jianxiong said coldly, "He is a bastard! I think he initially refused to cure Yan Ni's poison to retaliate, wanting us to beg him! Humph, he has no sense of gratitude at all, Jing Yi, you've picked up a white-eyed wolf."

"Jing Yi, bring him home less often in the future. A person like that doesn't deserve to enter our house. Your sister-in-law and I nearly lost our lives because of him; I don't even want to see him," Ye Yanni glared at Ye Jingyi.

Ye Jingyi stood there stunned, listening to her family's accusations against Jiang Chen, and once again found herself lost.

Jiang Chen had done a lot for her, but what her family said seemed plausible too.

What should I do about Jiang Chen?

Ye Jingyi's heart was in turmoil again.
