“You, you…”
Di Mingjue’s chest heaved with anger. It was the first time a woman had dared to grab his chin and sternly warn him!
Seeing his flustered state, Jiang Ziyu’s lips curved into a slight arc.
She hadn’t deliberately provoked this man’s anger. Who told him not to be good? Both Daba and Erbao knew to be obedient when they were sick.
“Di Mingjue, you…”
Before she could finish, Di Mingjue began throwing things wildly again. A pair of scissors nearly cut Qianqian’s face!
Jiang Ziyu’s anger surged.
“Di Mingjue! That’s enough! You almost hurt Qianqian!”
“I’m telling you, I saved your life. If you bother me again, I’ll turn you back into a vegetative state!!”
Di Mingjue’s figure paused. He suddenly remembered the doctor’s exclamation that his recovery was a miracle. He hadn’t expected this woman to be a doctor and that she was the one who had woken him up.
However, even so, Di Mingjue was unwilling to accept her as his wife. He had a woman in his heart; she was the one he recognized as his wife.
He had suffered from heart disease since childhood. Six years ago, a heart transplant surgery almost killed him on the operating table. For the sake of family inheritance, he had an intimate relationship with a woman before the surgery and asked her to have a child. Because he didn’t know if he would survive, he hadn’t promised her marriage. He felt a great debt to that woman and had been looking for her for the past six years, hoping to make amends.
Even though he hadn't found any news after six years…
The man’s cold voice rang out again, “As long as you leave, I’ll give you a hundred million, as compensation for saving my life!”
Jiang Ziyu’s eyes were calm, and she let out a cold laugh.
“I can leave, but only after you are capable of taking care of yourself and Qianqian.”
“Young Master Di, hasn’t anyone told you? The Di family has changed hands. The Di family’s conglomerate, and the Di Jue Group you founded, are now managed by the Third Young Master Di.”
“Instead of targeting me and telling me to get lost, it’s better for me to take care of your health so you can reclaim your power and companies sooner.”
“The entire Di family is like a tiger’s den. While you were comatose for these three years, Qianqian was constantly bullied, and her voice was poisoned and rendered mute…”
Speaking of Qianqian, Jiang Ziyu’s voice choked with emotion.
Di Mingjue’s body trembled. “What did you say? Qianqian she…”
“Qianqian! Where are you? Let Daddy hug you.”
Qianqian, who had been hiding nearby, heard Di Mingjue finally remember her. Tears of excitement streamed down her face as she rushed over.
She sobbed and called out for her daddy, but not a sound escaped her lips…
Hot tears fell onto his chest, and Di Mingjue felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Heartache and self-reproach.
Qianqian was also in the car during the accident three years ago. Fortunately, she was unharmed. But her voice… who would attack a child like that? When he found the culprit, he would make them wish they were dead!
“Qianqian, Daddy is awake now. From now on, Daddy will protect you.”
“It’s all Daddy’s fault for letting you get hurt…”
Di Mingjue gently comforted Qianqian.
In Jiang Ziyu’s eyes, Di Mingjue didn’t care about losing power and status; instead, he was more heartbroken by Qianqian’s injury.
She hadn’t expected Di Mingjue to value Qianqian so highly…
Qianqian was already six years old, but she was still light, suggesting she had not been living well.
Now that his eyesight and body had not yet recovered, and he also had to deal with regaining power, he indeed couldn’t take care of himself and Qianqian.
This woman, brought in for good luck, could indeed be of use.
“I’ll allow you to stay in the Di family temporarily. We’ll sign a marriage agreement for one year. You’ll help me take care of Qianqian, and after a year, I’ll give you a sum of money to leave.”
Jiang Ziyu silently rolled her eyes. Qianqian was her daughter, of course, she would take good care of her. Did she need him to tell her?
However, one year was enough time. She could get to know Di Mingjue’s temperament, ensure his kidney source matched Daba’s, and then persuade him to undergo the kidney transplant surgery… But she was very worried that if Di Mingjue knew she had two more sons, he would fight her for custody of the children.
She had already lost Qianqian and Sibao; she could no longer bear the separation of her flesh and blood…
“Since your medical skills are so superb, can you cure my eyes?” Di Mingjue suddenly asked.
Jiang Ziyu collected her thoughts and haughtily raised an eyebrow. “You want me to cure you? Then you’d better be polite. If you make me happy, I’ll help you.”
Di Mingjue frowned impatiently. This woman was truly troublesome, daring to get on his nerves!
“Don’t push your luck. I can let you stay, and I can also drive you away!”
Jiang Ziyu let out a cold snort.
“Let me see if I can cure it.”
She stepped forward and inserted silver needles into the acupoints around Di Mingjue’s eyes.
A moment later, she removed the needles and concluded, “From what I can see, it can be cured. As long as I give you acupuncture daily and you get angry less often, your condition can recover in some time.”
“Mm.”
Di Mingjue squeezed Qianqian’s small hand. “Qianqian, in some time, Daddy will be able to see you.”
Qianqian’s eyebrows relaxed, and she was overjoyed.
Her gaze towards Jiang Ziyu was also full of anticipation and gratitude.
The next second, a fragrant, soft kiss landed on Jiang Ziyu’s cheek.
Jiang Ziyu hadn’t expected Qianqian to kiss her voluntarily, and her heart melted like marshmallow, feeling sweet.
“Don’t worry, my darling, I’ll work hard to cure your Daddy.”
Di Mingjue heard their voices and said displeasedly, “You and Qianqian need to maintain proper boundaries when interacting. Don’t let her become too dependent on you. Qianqian has a mother, so don’t let her reject her biological mother because of you in the future.”
She was Qianqian’s biological mother. No one loved Qianqian more than she did.
Now, her only concern was to make up for the love and pampering that Qianqian had missed. If Qianqian truly became addicted to her, she could then take Qianqian away.
Jiang Ziyu knew Di Mingjue couldn’t see, so she deliberately kissed Qianqian’s little face a few more times.
“Young Master Di, don’t worry, I have my limits.”
Jiang Ziyu provocatively looked at Di Mingjue. “As for you… a year of contractual marriage, only marriage without love. Can Young Master Di guarantee you won’t fall in love with me?”
Di Mingjue let out a cold scoff.
It was ridiculous. What aspect of this woman was worth his love?
He only had one woman in his heart, and he had been waiting for her return all these years.
Besides her, he couldn’t accommodate a second.
Just as Di Mingjue was about to harshly criticize Jiang Ziyu, the butler’s voice suddenly came, “Young Master, Young Madam. The Old Madam wishes to see the Young Madam.”
“I understand.” Jiang Ziyu replied and followed him.
Unexpectedly, Qianqian also came along halfway.
“Qianqian, do you want to see your great-grandmother?”
Qianqian smiled faintly and took out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket—it was a perfect score math test paper.
It seemed that the Di Old Madam treated Qianqian well, and Qianqian wanted to share her perfect score with her.
It was just a shame that the test paper was a bit torn.
Jiang Ziyu didn’t want to dampen Qianqian’s enthusiasm for sharing. She picked up Qianqian, and they headed to the main house together.
In the main hall, as soon as Jiang Ziyu appeared, the Di Old Madam waved to her with a smile.
“Good child, come quickly, try this Biluochun tea I’ve been saving.”
Although the Old Madam was over sixty, her dark eyes were bright and her demeanor vigorous.
She took Jiang Ziyu’s hand and earnestly instructed, “Good child, you are truly a lucky star for our Mingjue. He woke up as soon as you arrived.”
“From now on, you must live a good life together…”
Jiang Ziyu could tell that the person who cared most about Di Mingjue in the entire Di family was probably the Old Madam. It was no wonder Qianqian was close to her.
The Di Old Madam’s kind demeanor bore some resemblance to her maternal grandmother, and Jiang Ziyu’s tone softened involuntarily.
“Grandma, please rest assured, I will wholeheartedly take good care of my husband. And I will love Qianqian as if she were my own.”
“That would be for the best.”
Seeing Qianqian, who had always been reluctant to get close to people, nestled in Jiang Ziyu’s arms, the Di Old Madam was even more pleased.
“Qianqian, come, let Great-Grandma hug you.”
Qianqian excitedly rushed into the Di Old Madam’s arms and handed her the damaged test paper.
“Oh, Qianqian got a perfect score again! Our Qianqian is truly a little genius.”
As the Old Madam praised her, she also felt a little puzzled. “Why is this test paper so damaged…”
“Qianqian, can you tell Great-Grandma what happened?”
Qianqian sniffled aggrievedly and looked to Jiang Ziyu for help.
Just as Jiang Ziyu was about to tell the Old Madam about Qianqian being bullied at kindergarten, a sharp female voice suddenly cut in.
“Grandma, you must do justice for our Xiaohai! He was beaten by that little brat Qianqian at school and is now paralyzed, unable to walk.”
The next second, a woman dressed in opulent attire appeared, followed by several bodyguards carrying a dark, sturdy boy. Not far away, there was a thin woman holding a frail boy in her arms.
So it was them.
The ones who bullied Qianqian had come to make a false accusation.
She, Jiang Ziyu, was not someone to be trifled with. With her here, no one could bully Qianqian!
