Ji Younai had not slept well for two days and two nights.
It was bright early in the following morning.
Only after making sure that the female ghost that had been scaring her and wandering around the room for most of the night had disappeared, did Ji Younai go downstairs to have breakfast with Gong Siyu. She was mentally exhausted and dispirited, with dark eye circles.
It was the day that the verdict would be out in court.
Gong Siyu would be attending court with her.
They set off on their journey to the court in the Chaodong District of Beijing.
In the car, Gong Siyu raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at the young girl beside him who was dozing off. He remained still.
He had seen all her behavior in the past two days.
In the day, she would even fall asleep when having her meals and yawn while walking.
She had stayed up all night.
Gong Siyu secretly scoffed and mocked her in his head.
'Who told you to refuse to sleep in my room? You deserve it.'
Crossing one leg over the other elegantly, Gong Siyu flipped through the documents, which were all in English, and at the same time, kicked Ji Younai's slender calf which was as fair as snow.
With a hint of evil in his voice, he pretended to be aloof and asked, "So are you going to sleep together with me tonight?"
The young girl who had dozed off, accidentally knocked her head against the glass window of the Maybach Zeppelin, which caused her to be jolted awake. She then nodded profusely and squinted her almond-shaped eyes. She slowly and leisurely inched closer to Gong Siyu and wrapped her arm around his.
"Yes, I'll sleep together with you..."
Words were continuously coming out of her small mouth as she muttered adorably.
In the blink of an eye, she closed her eyes again as she wanted to sleep.
"So obedient?"
A devilish but charming smile graced Gong Siyu's handsome face.
"I feel like I'm going to have a sudden death if I don't sleep..."
"Well, why do you want to sleep with me?" he asked.
"... So that I won't be afraid."
'Ji Younai!'
When they arrived at the court, Ji Younai was surprised to be personally greeted and welcomed by a high judge of the Chaodong People's Courts. The court officials were all very respectful towards Gong Siyu too.
Ji Younai didn't expect her aunt and uncle to be there too.
To be more precise, they were arrested and forcefully brought there by the police.
The two of them looked rather disheveled and were in a complete mess.
It was a civil court which was not too big. There was no jury either.
After the judge announced the verdict quickly, everything was set in stone.
The court ordered Ji Cuihua and her family to immediately return all of the assets belonging to Ji Younai's deceased parents, back to Ji Younai who should have rightfully inherited them. They would also have to compensate her with a sum of five million yuan for the emotional distress that they had caused her.
That was only the outcome of the civil suit.
"Your assets will be returned to you, but we have another score to settle with your aunt."
Gong Siyu slightly drooped his head to whisper softly into Ji Younai's ear.
"What is it?"
Before Gong Siyu could say anything, Ji Younai saw two policemen escorting Ji Cuihua and her uncle to them.
"Mr. Gong, we have received all the evidence of Ji Cuihua instigating someone to commit murder, but we still have to ask this lady to come with us to the station sometime to have her statement taken. We also have to ask her a few questions and go through the process."
"Sure, that will do."
Gong Siyu glanced at the policeman from sideways with a cold gaze. He exuded an aura of nobility and was terrifyingly domineering.
Ji Younai noticed that her aunt was staring at her with a hideous look and a gaze that was full of hatred and indignation.
Her uncle also looked like he was out to skin her alive and drink her blood.
She cowardly shrank and hid behind Gong Siyu.
Since Gong Siyu was around, Ji Cuihua and her husband had no choice but to swallow their pride and bear with it. They finally found out about Gong Siyu's identity and realized that he was an esteemed heir and a terrifying figure whom they could not provoke easily.
However, Ji Cuihua glowered at Ji Younai for a moment.
The look on her face seemed to be saying—"I'm not going to let the matter rest just like that!"
"If I'm not living well, no one should live well either!"
She would definitely make Ji Younai pay the price!
-
Ji Cuihua was taken away by the police.
They were standing at the entrance of the Chaodong District Court.
The sky was cloudless.
The warm and gentle breeze that caressed Ji Younai's face also made her feel less sleepy.
She did not ask Gong Siyu why he had the evidence of her aunt harming her.
Since the beginning, she had always thought that Gong Siyu was an omnipotent person who had wide connections. It was as if he was a Doraemon that Heaven had sent to her.
'However, this Doraemon... is handsome, sinisterly, and flawless. He's one in a million and a perfect man!'
"Rich girl, what are your plans after your assets have been returned to you?"
Gong Siyu had seen the inventory of assets that belonged to Ji Younai's parents.
Their centuries-old courtyard house located in the first ring road alone was already worth hundreds of millions of yuan.
Why did he call her rich?
It was because she probably did not know what her ancestors did for a living.
"Plans? I haven't thought about it yet, but the first thing that I'm going to do is to find a place with good Fengshui and bury my parents' bodies together!"
Gong Siyu took a deep glance at Ji Younai and smoothed her long, fluttering hair.
The unique fragrance that was emanating from her hair made him feel comfortable, physically and mentally.
"It will take a day or two for the handover procedures to be completed, and two or three days for all your money to be deposited back into your account. If you're in a hurry, I can contact someone now to arrange it for you."
"No." She pouted and declined resolutely, "This is the last thing I can do for them as their daughter. Of course, I must do it myself. Gong Siyu, you're not my parents' son."
"..."
'It's easy to become your parents' son. We can just make a trip to the Civil Affairs Bureau!'
'With the red marriage certificate, I will have to call them my parents-in-law, won't I?'
Gong Siyu looked up at the sky and carefully thought about it.
Bai Feiran informed him that there was news from the Gong Family's main residence.
His family wanted him to find time to go home and meet with An Lan, the An Family's eldest daughter who had just graduated from Harvard University.
The An Family was extremely powerful and was one of the very few wealthy families that could contend with the Gong Family.
His biological mother was from the An Family.
Gong Siyu understood that political marriages between wealthy families were inevitable.
He reckoned that the Gong Family had probably already secretly arranged that marriage behind his back.
However what he hated most were such marriages between wealthy families, which were not built based on any true feelings.
His biological mother was a victim of such marriages. She died of postpartum depression when his half-brother was already born.
He put his long and slender arm around Ji Younai's thin shoulder and held her in his embrace.
Gong Siyu sighed.
It seemed that he had to carry out his plan to fool the little one into getting married sooner.
-
Four days later, Ji Younai got back everything that belonged to her.
The handover procedures had all been completed.
In front of an antique courtyard house at the end of an ancient alley in the first ring road of Beijing, there was a courtyard house with an iron door that was locked tightly. Donning a leather suit, a tall, foreign man with blue eyes and a slicked-back hairstyle, stood in front of Ji Younai. He handed over a key and a bank card to her.
The foreign man with blue eyes spoke to her in non-fluent Chinese that was mixed with some English.
"Ms. Ji, this is the key to the courtyard house. Keep it safe."
The PIN of the bank account is stated on the back of the card. You can change it as you wish. Ji Cuihua has sold the residence in the third ring road that your parents lived in before they passed on, at a high price of 25 million yuan, which has been deposited in your account. In addition, the savings and funds that your parents owned before they died, as well as the five million yuan that Ji Cuihua has compensated you for causing you emotional distress have also been credited to your account. There is a rounded-up total of 39 million yuan in there."
