CHAPTER 474: CHAPTER 474: SHE’S PROVOKED SOMEONE OUT OF HER LEAGUE

Liu Shufen didn’t care about anything else and bent down to pick it up.

The golden card was swiftly pinned down under Ji Wei’s foot.

Liu Shufen squatted and tilted her head up, her face full of confusion. "What are you doing?"

"You can take this card, but you have to agree to a few conditions." The greedy look in the woman’s eyes made her feel even more repulsed, and her voice carried no warmth.

"You... you say..." Liu Shufen looked at Ji Wei’s expression, feeling inexplicably guilty.

"First, from now on, you are not allowed to bring people to cause trouble, and you must not disrupt Grandma Li and Jia Ming’s life. Don’t even think about extorting anything anymore. Second, you are prohibited from slandering my mother in front of anyone. If I find out, not only will you get nothing, but your life will also be at stake. Do you understand?"

Liu Shufen didn’t know exactly who Ji Wei was, but from her words, mannerisms, and the fact that she could afford foreign bodyguards, she was clearly someone Liu Shufen couldn’t afford to mess with.

A person like Liu Shufen, who feared death and loved vanity, would definitely avoid provoking someone she couldn’t handle.

Liu Shufen nodded repeatedly, "Alright, I agree to everything you said!"

It was just some empty words; she would say them anyway.

Ji Wei’s lips curved coldly as she stared at Liu Shufen, seemingly seeing right through her thoughts.

After several seconds, she finally lifted her foot.

Liu Shufen lunged forward like a crony, picking up the golden card from the ground as if it were treasure, wiping off the dust with her sleeve.

"Everything you just promised has been recorded. If you dare to go back on your word one day, I’ll make sure you pay the price!" Ji Wei calmly pulled out her phone to issue the warning.

Liu Shufen hadn’t expected Ji Wei to have another trick up her sleeve. Her face turned pale immediately, and her hands trembled slightly while holding the card.

"The two of you can leave now!" Ji Wei said coldly, her voice carrying authority, which sent a shiver down Liu Shufen’s spine.

Gripping the golden card, Liu Shufen grabbed Big Black and walked out slowly. She had a lingering feeling that something wasn’t over, but for the moment, she couldn’t figure out what it was.

Perhaps Ji Wei’s imposing aura was too overwhelming, leaving her mind stunned.

After Liu Shufen left, Grandma Li sighed, "Little Wei, you’re really letting that woman off easy by giving her that card. Ever since she remarried, she hasn’t cared about Jia Ming at all—her eyes only see money!"

Ji Wei reassured Grandma Li by holding her hand. "Don’t worry. She doesn’t know the card’s password, so she won’t be able to withdraw a single cent."

Grandma Li’s mouth fell open in surprise, and as she came to her senses, she nodded repeatedly. "Good, good! That heartless woman needs to be taught a harsh lesson!"

"But I’ll share the password with you. If she ever starts to show genuine care for Jia Ming and changes her attitude, you can consider telling her. If she remains unrepentant, never let her know. All this money should be kept for Jia Ming."

"Good, that’s a wonderful idea!" Grandma Li clapped her hands in approval.

"Little Wei, you’ve been unconscious for more than half a day. You must be hungry. I’ll go make you something delicious." Watching Grandma Li leave happily, Ji Wei’s lips curled into a faint smile.

...

At the bedside, Ji Wei accepted the steaming bowl of millet porridge Grandma Li handed her and smiled faintly.

She lowered her head and sipped a few spoonfuls.

"Slow down, be careful not to burn yourself," Grandma Li cautioned as she stood beside her.

Ji Wei stared at the slightly steaming bowl of porridge, her gaze briefly vacant. Suddenly, she lifted her head and asked seriously, "Grandma, tell me the truth—what exactly happened that made Jia Ming end up like this?"

Grandma Li froze, her hands momentarily helpless. "I... I have chicken soup simmering on the stove, I need to go check on it..."

Ji Wei quickly grabbed her hand. "Grandma, please tell me. Sooner or later, I’ll find out anyway."

Facing away from her, Grandma Li’s lips trembled slightly.

"It’s because of my mother, isn’t it?"

Ji Wei’s voice was slightly hoarse, and after a moment’s hesitation, she still voiced the question.
