Transmigrated as the Chongxi Wife of a Critically Ill Young Lady - Chapter 40
Chapter 40
This time, Jiwanching was a little stronger than before. After Yan Shuang gave her a sedative shot, she nestled in Cen Xia’s arms for a while, and the tightness in her chest eased.
Cen Xia, on the other hand, felt guilty for not protecting her and letting someone exploit a loophole right under her nose.
Jiwanching raised her hand and gently touched her face.
Cen Xia came back to herself and lowered her head to kiss her lips. She looked into her eyes and sincerely called out “Sister,” tears streaming down her face.
Jiwanching used her index finger to wipe her own lips, gesturing for her to kiss her again.
Cen Xia obediently lowered her head and kissed her once more.
Jiwanching used the tip of her teeth to hook Cen Xia’s lower lip, holding it in her mouth and gently gnawing on it a few times before letting go.
Cen Xia looked up, and their eyes met.
Jiwanching raised her hand.
—”A punishment for Cen Xia.”
Cen Xia’s black, grape-like eyes blinked.
Jiwanching explained.
—”You’re not allowed to be so impulsive in the future!”
She still felt scared thinking about the image of Cen Xia picking up the laptop and about to hit someone. What if she hadn’t screamed at that moment? Would she have gone through with it? What if she had lost control and didn’t listen to reason? Would she have gone through with it? And if she really had, and if something had happened to Shaoyu, Cen Xia would be sent to jail, and what would she do?
Cen Xia nodded, and tears started to fall again, dripping onto Jiwanching’s forehead. She quickly reached out to wipe them away, repeating, “I’m sorry!”
Jiwanching held her hand and gently kissed it. After a long time, she managed to suppress the sadness in her heart. She bit Cen Xia’s hand hard, leaving a few clear teeth marks.
Cen Xia quickly dealt with her own emotions as well. When they faced each other again, she smiled.
Jiwanching’s mood brightened as she looked at her sweet smile. This time, she didn’t want to collapse weakly like she had before. She wanted to get better as soon as possible, to personally expose the people who had harmed her mother and give her a proper account in the afterlife.
She raised her hand, asking Cen Xia for permission.
—”Xiaxia, my body can handle it. I want to get up and use the computer to handle some things. It won’t take long. I’ll just lean on you, and you can supervise me. Is that okay?”
Cen Xia’s black eyes flickered. She wasn’t sure what Jiwanching was going to do, but she still nodded in agreement.
Jiwanching raised her hand to add.
—”The Ji family must be in chaos right now. I don’t want to miss this opportunity!”
Her eyes were determined.
Cen Xia vaguely guessed what she meant but wasn’t certain. She asked, “Sister, did you tell them that Ji Yanqing is not his biological daughter?”
Jiwanching nodded.
She had been holding back because she still cherished the sisterly bond she had with Shaoyu when they were young. But that person didn’t know what was good for her. She had crossed her boundaries again and again, harming the person she loved and stabbing her in the heart. Now, there was no need for her to hold onto that last bit of pathetic kindness.
She wanted to use this incident to open a door and attack, catching the Ji family off guard.
Shi Ranying wasn’t the only one who could use tricks and hire waves of media. Jiwanching had become a pop queen in the entertainment industry with one song. She not only had hundreds of millions of fans but also made connections with many big shots in the industry. It was just that during the year she was bedridden, she had neglected her social life, and her connections with friends in the industry had faded. But if she really needed help, even without their past friendship, and even if she was mute and couldn’t stand up, just based on her identity as the boss of Zhicheng, people would line up across the street to help her.
Jiwanching leaned on Cen Xia’s shoulder. In less than half an hour, she had messaged friends from various industries.
As she had expected, the Ji family was in chaos. Ji Yanqing was called back by Madam Ji on her way home.
Mr. Ji stared at Ji Yanqing’s face for a long time. For the first time, he yelled at Madam Ji, “She really is the bastard child you had with another man. Shi Ranying, why did you deceive me?”
An emergency shareholders’ meeting was imminent, and Madam Ji didn’t want to completely break face yet. She smiled and patiently explained to Ji Teng, “Honey, I’ve told you many times. Don’t listen to outsiders’ provocations. Yanqing is our child. Why don’t you believe me?”
Ji Teng almost jumped. He demanded, “Believe you? Look at her eyes, her nose, her mouth. Which part of her doesn’t look like that dead bastard from the Shao family?”
Madam Ji walked over and hugged Ji Teng. “Honey, calm down. Yanqing is the child I carried for ten months. How could I not know whose child she is? Don’t let outsiders provoke you. We are family!”
Ji Teng struggled and forcefully pushed her away.
Madam Ji lost her balance and fell to the floor, her forehead hitting the coffee table and bleeding.
Ji Yanqing hesitated for a moment, then walked over and helped her up. “Mom, are you okay?”
Madam Ji patted the hands on her arm and comforted her with tears in her eyes. “I’m fine, child. Mom is fine!”
She tried to use this pitiful appearance to move Ji Teng, but it backfired.
Ji Teng sneered. “Okay. Go and get a paternity test with her. If the results are okay, I’ll believe you!”
Shi Ranying paused for three seconds. She met Ji Teng’s bloodshot eyes and smiled gently. “Okay, Yanqing will go with you for a paternity test. This way, when the results come out, you’ll feel better.”
Ji Yanqing’s hand flinched. She looked up at her.
Madam Ji raised her hand and touched her hair. “Good child, listen to your mother. Be good.”
After that, she looked at Ji Teng again and said, “Honey, set a time. Let Yanqing go with you!”
She had already bribed the doctors at the private hospital over the past two years. What was a simple paternity test? She was sure she could handle it.
As Shi Ranying was thinking this, Ji Teng suddenly said, “Go to the First Municipal Hospital. Go now!”
He was a very suspicious person and had already guessed that Shi Ranying would pull some strings behind his back. But he still wanted to make one last stand. After all, he had been wearing this massive cuckold’s hat for so long.
Shi Ranying thought for a moment and nodded.
In this day and age, money talks. She had been in the business world for so many years. She could definitely threaten and bribe a few doctors at the hospital. And she was one hundred percent certain that no medical staff member would be as foolish as Yan Shuang.
The three of them went to the DNA testing center at the First Municipal Hospital late at night. After Ji Teng and Ji Yanqing went inside, Shi Ranying slipped a card to the doctor on duty and showed him her ID.
The doctor nodded, indicating that he knew what to do.
After Ji Teng was done, he asked the hospital to rush the results. The three of them sat on a bench in the hospital for six full hours, from the middle of the night until dawn.
When the test results came back as a non-match, Shi Ranying’s eyes went green. She instinctively looked at the doctor.
But the doctor acted as if nothing had happened. He held the medical report and explained it to Ji Teng word by word. Less than ten seconds after announcing the result, Ji Teng slapped Shi Ranying’s face right in front of the doctor.
He tried to slap her a second time but was stopped by the medical staff.
At this point, Shi Ranying knew there was no turning back, so she stopped pretending.
She smoothed out her messy hair and looked at Ji Teng with a red cheek. “So what if the results are out? The emergency shareholders’ meeting is right around the corner. Do you have the guts to announce to the outside world that your ex-wife was killed by your bad luck, and your current wife put this massive cuckold’s hat on you?”
Ji Teng heard the threat in her words. His fists were about to shatter, but in the end, he had no choice but to continue wearing the hat.
He grabbed her hair and dragged her out. When Shi Ranying was about to leave, she gave the doctor a look, her eyes filled with hatred from being deceived.
The doctor smiled faintly and suddenly spoke up. “Mr. Ji, wait a minute!”
Ji Teng’s steps halted. Everyone was hoping for a turn of events.
The doctor walked over with the card Shi Ranying had given him. “Ms. Shi, this is the First Municipal Hospital. All our results are fair and just. I’m sorry, but this is your card. Please take it back!”
Ji Teng’s anger flared. He stopped pulling her hair and started choking her instead. Ji Yanqing followed closely behind, and the family of three left the hospital in a state of disarray. As soon as they stepped outside, they were surrounded by reporters.
Flashlights continuously flashed on them. Shi Ranying’s hair was a mess, and Ji Yanqing’s mood was also terrible. She yelled at the reporters, “Stop taking pictures, you fucking idiots!”
“Is that Mr. Ji Teng?”
“Hello, Ms. Ji. We heard that the future heir of the Ji Corporation, who is with you, is not your biological child with Mr. Ji. I’d like to ask…”
“Mr. Ji, what are your thoughts on your wife cuckolding you?”
…
The scene was chaotic. All sorts of voices mixed together, with people saying all kinds of things.
The news quickly reached Jiwanching. The friend she had entrusted with the task sent her a message to report.
“Everything went according to your plan, General Manager Ji. It was very smooth!”
Jiwanching replied on her screen, “Thank you for your hard work. I’ll treat you to a meal later!”
After a while, Yan Shuang sent her a DNA test report and the video of the family causing a scene at the hospital, without any caption.
A little later, a TV station sent her an email.
“General Manager Ji, please review the report’s content. Let us know if there’s anything you’d like to add.”
Jiwanching quickly scanned it and then sent the test results and the hospital video that Yan Shuang had given her to the reporter.
The person gave her a thumbs-up. “You’re still the one, General Manager Ji. Killing your biological father with your own hands.”
Jiwanching only replied with three words: “Get it done!”
In short, her phone was constantly filled with messages. She propped herself up and replied to each one. Her back was already drenched in sweat.
Cen Xia held her and used a wet wipe to clean the sweat from her temples. She asked with concern, “Sister, if you can’t hold on, take a break. I’ll help you reply.”
Jiwanching shook her head. She stubbornly insisted on doing it herself. After she replied to the messages, she called Tang Shaoyun and instructed him to keep a close eye on the company’s business, to seize the opportunity to cut out the moles Madam Ji had placed in Zhicheng, and to help boost the comments section once the headline news was released.
After all the tasks were handled, Cen Xia carried Jiwanching to take a bath. When they came out, the top 5 trending topics were all about the Ji family of three, as well as Mr. Ji being cuckolded and Madam Ji’s shady attempt at bribery.
The comments section was even more colorful.
—”The dignified chairman of the board raised someone else’s child without even noticing.”
—”And it was the future heir, too. He was so spoiled (stupid) that he was blinded by love.”
—”This Madam Ji is incredible. Isn’t she afraid her dead husband will come back at midnight and ask for his child back?”
—”Rich people’s way of thinking. They even dare to try to bribe doctors at the First Municipal Hospital. The result… is so cringe. How embarrassing, hahaha!”
—”Speaking of which, as the chairman’s wife, she probably did a lot of this kind of thing in private, right?”
—”Maybe the chairman isn’t innocent either. When is the Ji Corporation going to go bankrupt? What a huge company, how embarrassing.”
—”Don’t worry. With this ‘child from another family’ in charge, bankruptcy is just around the corner!”
—”But the Ji Corporation was truly brilliant when the original madam was around. It’s really a case of ‘when the tiger’s away, the monkey becomes king.'”
—”Speaking of which, where is the original madam?”
—”She drowned years ago. Did you not know about such a shocking event?”
—”+1, but didn’t they say the original madam and her husband fell off the bridge together? Why did he live and she die? Could it be… [covers mouth]”
—”It’s possible. Adultery, rape… maybe it was premeditated.”
—”Move aside, everyone. I have a little secret. I heard the Ji Corporation’s chairman is a son-in-law who lives with his wife’s family [shocked]”
—”A son-in-law? Oh my god!”
—”Hahahahaha, a son-in-law, I’m dying of laughter!!!”
—”So he’s a freeloader! No wonder he was willing to be cuckolded for so long.”
…
Netizens called him a freeloader. They dug up many photos of Ji Teng in the business world. Some even took screenshots of Ji Teng’s face during a meeting and turned them into memes. They Photoshopped a green hat shaped like a watermelon rind onto his enlarged headshot, with a few big words next to it: “Chairman, be good, wear your green hat well~”
