Chapter 355 - Intrepid people will inevitably get hurt (2)

Zhu Yurun mustered up a weak smile that looked quite ugly. ”He was joking around with someone and probably didn't notice I was there too. He didn't mean to push me down the stairs. If I wasn't pregnant, I would have been able to easily roll down without getting injured. Those stairs weren't that high up. But as I was rolling down, my belly hit the steps...”

Ji Man slightly clenched her fist.

”It's okay. I've been so distressed lately. Once I saw him, I didn't want to marry anyone else, but he's not willing to marry me. So, what should I do?” Zhu Yurun's voice was somewhat hoa.r.s.e, and her smile slowly dimmed. ”I finally don't have to feel distress anymore. Isn't that great?”

Her heart ached a bit. Ji Man lowered her head to look. Nie Sangyu was being really kind-hearted. This matter had nothing to do with her, so why was she feeling such a strong sense of empathetic pain?

”Take care of yourself,” Ji Man quietly said, ”Once your health has recovered, who knows, you might meet a better man.”

”You're just saying nonsense.” Zhu Yurun waved her hand. ”There's no one that would marry a girl like me. I don't want to get married anymore either.”

Ji Man didn't know what to say. She just comfortingly held her hand and silently sighed.

”Your hand is so smooth.” Zhu Yurun smiled as she touched the back of Ji Man's hand. ”I'm tired. I want to sleep. You should go talk to my dad about canceling our wedding before you leave. I don't want to burden you.”

Ji Man stood up and tucked the quilt around her. ”Let's talk about the wedding later. You should rest first.”

Zhuer, who had been watching by the side, pulled Ji Man out of the room. Once they were out in the covered corridor, Zhuer said, ”Teacher Ji, don't look down on Miss. Miss is a really good woman. When she first met that heartless person, it wasn't like what she said...”

”Teacher Ji,” a.s.sistant Minister Zhu called out from a distance. When Ji Man turned her head, she saw that Zhu Shuyou was standing at a moon gate with a grave expression and gesturing for her to come over.

Ji Man glanced at Zhuer, then she walked over to a.s.sistant Minister Zhu. ”Sir Zhu.”

Qian Yingchen was also standing there, behind a.s.sistant Minister. There wasn't any strong emotion on Qian Yingchen's face, but Ji Man was surprised to see that he looked a bit haggard.

a.s.sistant Minister Zhu got right to the point by asking, ”Teacher Ji, are you still willing to marry Yurun?”

Ji Man nodded without hesitation. ”Yes.”

It was a series of devastating blows for a woman in this era to get pregnant out of wedlock and then suffer a miscarriage. Ji Man thought that Zhu Yurun was a rare treasure. Even if she was a bit too intrepid, it was worth trying to preserve her splendidly bright smile.

Qian Yingchen was left feeling stunned.

a.s.sistant Minister Zhu sneered and looked at him as he said, ”Sir Qian, did you hear that? My daughter has someone that wants to marry her. Please leave.”

Qian Yingchen looked at Ji Man with a furrowed brow. ”It's obvious that she doesn't love you. Teacher Ji, it can't be that you're the type of person who is willing to do anything for fame and profit, right?”

Ji Man smiled as she looked at him. ”Why does it matter if she doesn't love me? It's enough that I love her. Yurun has already suffered a lot. This one believes that Sir Qian isn't a person that's suitable to help erase the scars in her heart.”

Qian Yingchen pressed his lips together. He still wanted to say more, but a.s.sistant Minister Zhu decided to end the pretense of politeness. ”Guards, come here. Escort Sir Qian out. He's not welcome here.”
