The Girl Who Married a Tycoon Husband After Disfigurement

Chapter 49

Zhou Mucheng was preparing food, but he didn't know why he kept feeling a chill running down his spine.

Carrying a tray of food, he found an empty spot and sat down, quickly picking up his chopsticks and starting to eat. He needed to finish quickly and leave this place.

Lan Ji withdrew his gaze, his thin lips curling into a mocking cold smile. Eat away, eat your fill, then little master will beat it out of you.

After Zhou Mucheng finished eating, he put his tray down and hurried out of the dining hall.

Just as he stepped out of the dining hall, a lazy voice laced with cold intent came from the side, "Zhou Mucheng, let's have a bout."

Zhou Mucheng followed the voice and saw Lan Ji, wearing a mask, lazily leaning against the wall. His eyes behind the mask were emitting a faint cold glint. Zhou Mucheng had seen Lan Ji before, but every time he came to the Fighting Wolves Group, Lan Ji always wore a mask. Apart from the leader, no one had seen his true face.

"What's wrong? Too scared?" Lan Ji said with a mocking smile, his eyes full of provocation.

Zhou Mucheng pursed his lips. If it were any other time, he would have eagerly accepted the challenge. In the Fighting Wolves Group, his strength was among the top, but today he simply didn't have the energy.

"Qin Lie, isn't he the leader of your Fighting Wolves Group? How is it that he doesn't even dare to spar with me, truly embarrassing your Fighting Wolves Group." Lan Ji turned his gaze to Qin Lie beside him.

It was only then that Zhou Mucheng noticed Qin Lie was there too. He hurriedly stood up straight and saluted Qin Lie, "Leader!"

Qin Lie's sharp gaze swept over Zhou Mucheng, his voice icy cold, "Group Leader Zhou has forgotten the rules of the Fighting Wolves Group."

Zhou Mucheng swallowed hard in fear, "I accept the challenge, please instruct me!"The rules of the Fighting Wolves Group: Never shy away from battle, never retreat.

Lan Ji smiled triumphantly, placing his hand on Zhou Mucheng's shoulder, "Let's go, we'll spar at the training ground."

Zhou Mucheng could only follow.

Knowing that Zhou Mucheng would face off against Lan Ji, the members of the Fighting Wolves Group flocked to the training ground to watch the excitement. Everyone knew Zhou Mucheng's strength, but no one had seen Lan Ji in action, so they were curious about his abilities.

"Who do you think will win this match?"

"Definitely Group Leader Zhou. His strength is well-known. Apart from the leader and deputy leader, Group Leader Zhou's strength is the strongest."

"Go Group Leader Zhou!"

Lan Ji smiled in amusement, stepped forward, and made an inviting gesture towards Zhou Mucheng, "Your move!"

"Please instruct me!" Zhou Mucheng said, his fist unleashing a fierce attack towards Lan Ji. He wanted to settle this quickly.

Lan Ji raised his hand and caught Zhou Mucheng's fist effortlessly. With a slight exertion of force, a crisp "crack" resounded.

Cold sweat beaded on Zhou Mucheng's forehead, his eyes filled with shock. Lan Ji's strength was truly formidable.

Lan Ji curved his lips, raised his fist, and delivered a heavy blow to Zhou Mucheng's abdomen. For bullying his cousin, how could he let Zhou Mucheng off lightly?

"Urgh~" With a surge of intense pain, Zhou Mucheng felt his stomach churning violently, and the food he had just eaten came spewing out.

Lan Ji didn't stop, raining blow after blow upon Zhou Mucheng until he was lying on the ground, unable to get up. Only then did Lan Ji pat his hands, feeling unsatisfied, "Group Leader Zhou concedes."

Zhou Mucheng wanted to open his eyes, but Lan Ji had also struck his eyes, making it impossible for him to open them. "Have I offended you..." He felt like Lan Ji harbored a grudge against him, his attacks showing no mercy.

Lan Ji leaned down close to Zhou Mucheng's ear, "I'm Ling Yue's cousin."

Zhou Mucheng froze. No wonder he felt Lan Ji's presence seemed familiar - he was the one who had beaten him up yesterday.

Lan Ji walked over to Qin Lie, "I'm leaving."

"Hmm." Qin Lie gave a slight nod.

Lan Ji's gaze shifted, revealing a sly, fox-like smile as he leaned closer to Qin Lie, "Qin Lie, you could consider my cousin. She's quite a catch, and then we would be related by marriage."

Qin Lie did not respond to Lan Ji, his expression blank as he headed towards the office. His heart had long been occupied, and even if he could never find his Yue'er in this lifetime, he would never love another woman. No one could compare to his Yue'er.

"So dull." Lan Ji shrugged and walked towards his car.

Zhou Mucheng was helped up by two team members and sent to the hospital. After examination, it was found that his ribs, hands, and feet had all suffered varying degrees of fractures, requiring three months of rest and recovery.

Ling Yue heard the footsteps and knew Lan Ji had returned. She went to open the door and saw his radiant expression, "What good thing has happened?"

"Today, I gave that bastard another beating. For the next three months, he'll be bedridden." Recalling Zhou Mucheng's pitiful state made Lan Ji happy.

"Zhou Mucheng?" Ling Yue heard Lan Ji's words and immediately thought of Zhou Mucheng's name. The term "bastard" did fit his demeanor well.

"Yes, that bastard. His ribs, hands, and feet were all broken by me. Yue Yue, your cousin really helped you get some well-deserved revenge this time. For the next three months, he'll only have his bed to keep him company." Lan Ji felt extremely satisfied at the thought.

Ling Yue turned and went back into the room, bringing out a plate of sliced watermelon to give to Lan Ji, "This is a reward for you."

Lan Ji laughed heartily, took the watermelon, picked up a slice and popped it into his mouth, "Your cousin made a big business deal today. Oh, and this is for you." He took a check out of his pocket and handed it to Ling Yue.

"I have money." Ling Yue shook her head, refusing. Recently, her stocks had earned her over a billion yuan, making her a small wealthy lady.

"This is your cousin's allowance for you. If you don't accept it, your cousin will be upset." Lan Ji deliberately put on a stern face. Yue Yue had suffered too much in these years. From now on, he would never let Yue Yue suffer again.

"Thank you, cousin!" Ling Yue felt a warm current flowing through her heart as she accepted the check. So this was the feeling of having family - it was truly wonderful.

Lan Ji reached out to ruffle Ling Yue's hair but withdrew his hand when he realized it was stained with watermelon juice. "Silly girl, from now on, buy whatever you want. If you don't have money, just ask your cousin. No need to be polite with me."

"Okay." Ling Yue flashed a brilliant smile, her phoenix-like eyes glistening alluringly.

For a moment, Lan Ji was dazed. He needed to find a way to restore Yue Yue's appearance as soon as possible. A beautiful girl with such captivating eyes should naturally have a flawless face.

Time flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

It wasn't until Ling Yue received a call from Song Ziyuan that she remembered there was an auction today. Song Ziyuan told her that among the items on display at today's auction were many rare, priceless treasures.

"Yue Yue, let your cousin change your dressings." Ling Yue had just ended the call when Lan Ji walked in.

Every time he changed her dressings these days, Lan Ji could see Ling Yue's face getting better, and now the burn scars were almost invisible.
