Dan Hanjieâs deep black eyes lingered on her face, confirming that she wasnât thinking about Jin Chenye, before he started the car again.
They returned to the Dan Group.
As soon as they entered his office, Qin Youxuan automatically took a seat on the sofa.
The corner of her eye caught sight of the court summons that had been delivered to her not long ago, and her eyes dimmed.
And then her thoughts drifted to that scene in the courtroomâ¦
âThe Qin Groupâs stocks are going to crash in the next few days. If you want to see Jin Lan get whatâs coming to her, you donât have to rush,â Dan Hanjieâs cold voice reverberated in her ears, and Qin Youxuan looked up at him subconsciously.
She relaxed her clenched hands a bit.
âYou saw this coming all along, didnât you? I was so naive, thinking that the law could reveal the truth and give me justice,â Qin Youxuan laughed bitterly, but her face became even brighter with her smile.
Dan Hanjie felt a flicker of unease.
Her reaction was calmer than he had expected.
No crying, no fussing, not even a hint of outrage about the injustice of the law.
She just calmly accepted the truth, then mocked herselfâ¦
âIâm here, I am your justice,â Dan Hanjie stepped forward, pulled her petite body into his embrace, felt her trembling, and held her tightly.
ââ¦Thank you.â Qin Youxuan, held in his arms, breathing in his familiar scent, sniffled.
ââ¦â
Again, those two words.
Dan Hanjieâs gaze darkened.
Why did he always find it absurd and thenâ¦unsettled, every time she thanked him?
â¦
The Qin family mansion.
After the excitement, Jin Lan quickly became exhausted and was sent back to her room to rest.
Meng Ziqi stood in the living room, seeing Jin Chenye just walking out of Jin Lanâs room, she approached him, âYe, is auntie okay?â
âThe doctor has checked her. She just had some emotional outburst, she will be fine after some rest,â Jin Chenye replied indifferently, his typically gentle face seeming somewhat distant. He walked towards the sofa.
âYoung master, here is the coffee you requested.â The butler put the coffee on the coffee table and respectfully withdrew.
âYe, now that auntieâs okay, you should be happy. Why are you drinking coffee? Iâve made restaurant reservations. Once auntie wakes up, shall we go celebrate?â Meng Ziqi looked hopefully at Jin Chenye.
âMy motherâs health is not good, the doctor advised her to get more rest, so we wonât go. Thank you for everything that has been done today. When Iâm free, Iâll pay a personal visit to thank your father,â said Jin Chenye with cold politeness.
He accepted the Meng familyâs favor while not giving Meng Ziqi any further opportunities.
Meng Ziqiâs face stiffened a bit, she hesitated before saying, âYe, are you still angry with me about the change in my testimony?â
âYou were coerced. How could I blame you? If it werenât for the help of the Meng family, it would have been hard for my mother to escape charges. I should be thanking you.â
âNo need, as long as Ye doesnât think Iâm causing more harm than good, thatâs enough. Also, my dad admires you a lot. If thereâs a chance for us to have dinner together, I believe heâll love to chat with you!â Meng Ziqiâs face was full of anticipation, her words filled with hidden indications.
âWeâll see, there will definitely be an opportunity,â Jin Chenye replied ambiguously. He put down his coffee after taking a sip, and stood up from the sofa, his handsome figure standing tall.
He pressed his temple, âIâm a bit tired, Iâll go rest. I can have the driver take you home.â
âThereâs no need, I can go home myself. I will come back to visit auntie when she wakes up.â
