Chapter 436: Chapter 436

Miss Ji pointed her phone toward the woman, her lips curling into an icy smirk.

Tang Yi saw the phone camera flashing repeatedly, panicked, and quickly grabbed the blanket next to her to cover herself tightly. She shivered all over, her face drained of color, as she stammered, "You... What are you doing? Hurry up and put the phone away!"

"Afraid to face what you’ve done, are you?"

Ji Wei sneered, "You’ve stooped so low as to seduce my father, so of course, I’m recording evidence. When my father sobers up, he’ll see your true colors—a woman who would stop at nothing to marry into a wealthy family. Tang Yi, after tonight, don’t even think about stepping foot into the Ji Family ever again!"

Tang Yi was utterly trapped in a state of extreme panic. Her only thought now was to escape.

If she could get away, she could claim that all of this was a setup and slander by Ji Wei, that she hadn’t done anything at all!

Suddenly, Tang Yi yanked herself upright, barefoot, and dashed desperately toward the door.

But just as she reached the doorway, she saw Uncle Zhao with two male servants blocking the hallway. One in front, one behind—they left her no chance to flee.

Ji Wei had anticipated that she would try to escape and had Uncle Zhao and the others ready before entering the room.

Ji Wei walked out leisurely, her gaze falling on Tang Yi, who was trying to shove the servants aside with all her might but was unceremoniously pushed to the ground, landing heavily.

The only shirt she had on was disheveled, nowhere near enough to cover her exposed skin. Under the piercing gazes of the men, Tang Yi felt an unbearable humiliation and retreated to the wall. Hugging herself tightly with both arms, her face was a mix of terror and disarray.

"Miss, how should we deal with this shameless woman?" Uncle Zhao glared at Tang Yi with disgust.

He had suspected her intentions for a long time, but Mr. Ji seemed to think highly of her. As just a housekeeper, there were words he had no place to say, so he had kept silent.

Now this fox spirit finally showed her true face. The way Miss Ji handled this—fast, precise, ruthless—was nothing short of satisfying!

"Lock her up for now. Tomorrow, when my father sobers up, let him deal with her himself."

Ji Wei had no intention of meddling in her father’s affairs; after all, he was an elder, and some respect should still be shown.

In the past, she wouldn’t have cared as much—she might have even had a fiery argument with Ji Yunli about his poor judgment. But now she had learned to see things more clearly, to leave room for others.

Because the fiercely unrestrained Ji Wei had died long ago, along with her newborn child.

Ji Wei put away her phone and was about to turn away when Tang Yi, restrained by the two male servants, suddenly looked at her and laughed bitterly. "Miss Ji, what makes you so smug? You’re nothing but a bastard. The vast inheritance of the Ji Family will never belong to you in the end!"

The words "bastard" — Ji Yunxiang had mentioned them before, and now Tang Yi was using the same insult against her. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NoveIＦire.net

This was no coincidence.

Seeing Ji Wei freeze in place, shock flickering across her face, Tang Yi laughed even more triumphantly. "What’s wrong with me liking Yunli? I’m still young and can give him a legitimate heir. We’ll live happily as a family of three. You have no blood relationship with Yunli at all. What makes you think you can meddle in my relationship with him?"

"He raised you for twenty years—that’s enough. Do you want to cling to him until death? Ji Wei, you’re unbelievably selfish! You’ve married Mr. Gu and find your own marriage blissful, but have you ever thought about Yunli’s feelings? He’s lived a decade without a woman, raising a daughter who isn’t even related to him by blood. Other than the teetering Ji Family, he has nothing left!"
