Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 543: Don’t Want to Be Polite

"I came here to get someone. If you don’t hand them over, I won’t back down easily." Ji Yu was firm in her stance—if they didn’t surrender the person, there was no way to settle the matter.

"Ji Yu, I suggest you don’t push things too far. Don’t think I don’t know your relationship with Jiang Huai isn’t that great, and you’ve already separated from Gu Qixiao," he said.

"What happens on my end doesn’t need your approval. But they’re definitely going to help me. Do you think they’ll take my side or yours?" Ji Yu wasn’t afraid of anything he said.

To her, this matter was not worth arguing in the first place.

"It’s you who provoked me first. Today, I merely want to take Qinqin away. If you don’t want me to take her, then be prepared to face punishment."

Ji Yu had never intended to become enemies with them. From the beginning, her stance had been clear—if they handed over the person, there would be no complicated entanglements.

"What if I refuse to hand her over today?" Uncle Feng’s response was absolute. His desire for that position had consumed him; if he failed now, all his previous efforts would be for nothing.

"Alright, then I’ll see just how tough you really are today." Ji Yu showed no mercy.

"Search the place immediately. If anyone dares resist, beat them directly."

With those orders, the individuals who had been behaving relatively politely suddenly turned aggressive. Seeing this, Uncle Feng realized that Ji Yu wasn’t going to give up until she achieved her goal.

The tense atmosphere thickened, and just then, the door was abruptly pushed open.

Jiang Huai entered, his head wrapped in bandages, his eyes sharp and menacing.

"Hurry up and hand her over. Resolve this issue here—I’ve got other matters to deal with. Stop wasting my time. The thing I despise most is people who waste my time."

Though nobody else understood what other matters he referred to, Ji Yu knew exactly what he meant.

Ji Yu wasn’t afraid of Jiang Huai’s retaliation; after all, this was a decision she herself had made.

"Yu, I can still help you with today’s matter, but once this is over, we need to settle things between us properly. I don’t understand why you chose to treat me like this at a time like this."

Some things truly seemed unpleasant.

Ji Yu didn’t know what to say. She could only think that everything Jiang Huai did was constantly hitting her sensitive nerves of disgust.

"Jiang Huai, regardless of everything, I still have to thank you for what you did today. You can do whatever you want to me afterward—even if you want to kill me, so be it."

She had already stopped fearing death, especially for the sake of the people around her.

"Ji Yu, do you really think I’d just kill you that easily? In my heart, you can only remain by my side—death will never be an option for you."

Though he appeared to smile, his eyes carried a chilling coldness.

At this point, there was no way he’d back down.

Ji Yu said nothing further, simply waiting for the results of the search.

Soon, they found the basement, where Feng Qinqin lay barely alive. Fury burned within Ji Yu’s eyes.

"Uncle Feng, is this what you meant when you said you hadn’t captured Qinqin?"

Uncle Feng had given up pretense by now. Initially, this issue was internal family business. Now that outsiders had become involved, he knew he couldn’t overpower them.

"You can handle me however you see fit, but that position is mine. It can’t belong to this little girl. What qualifications does she have to take the role of president?"

His heart burned with envy.

Ji Yu couldn’t help but laugh at his words. This matter had nothing to do with him from the start.

"If you weren’t her uncle, you couldn’t possibly survive in this company, yet you now claim she isn’t qualified for the position. Don’t you think that’s contradictory?"

Uncle Feng had never considered this, which was why he acted so brazenly.

"I don’t mean anything else—I just think things should go according to my plan. After all, she’s just a girl; how could she possibly inherit the family business?"

"What era are we living in? Are you still stuck in the mindset that girls can’t inherit? You’re truly outdated." Ji Yu hadn’t expected to encounter such feudal thinking at this point.

"Ji Yu, what gives you the right to interfere in the affairs of our company? Besides, take a look at the company you manage—what’s so great about it?"

He firmly believed women were incapable of achieving great things.

"At the very least, it’s managed far better than anything you’ve handled." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Ji Yu didn’t belittle others, but every move Uncle Feng made seemed like a joke to her.

"I’ll spare you for now. When Qinqin wakes up, how she wants to deal with you will be up to her. By then, you might find it impossible to even stay in this company—how could you possibly hope to remain president?"

She knew she couldn’t interfere much beyond this point; after all, her relationship with Jiang Huai had reached a boiling point.

"Yu, you should come back with me now. As for this woman, someone will take her to the hospital."

Ji Yu cared deeply for her friends, so Jiang Huai wouldn’t casually harm them.

"Brother, I won’t feel comfortable leaving it to others—why don’t I leave it to you? That way, it could even earn you some goodwill."

It was also a way to give Ji Yuanzhou a chance to show his favor.

But Ji Yuanzhou wasn’t comfortable letting Ji Yu leave just like that. "Yu, I was the one behind this matter from the start. Don’t carry all of this on your shoulders."

"I wanted to fight back—that’s all me. That strike should count as mine," Ji Yu smiled lightly. She didn’t dwell on it. Even if she died here today, she wouldn’t mind.

Jiang Huai found himself increasingly baffled by this woman beside him. Why was she so unafraid of death? Moreover, for all her actions, did she lack any guilt?

"Yu, why can’t you love me a little more?"
