âHowâs the family? The Southern hallsâ¦â
Ji Nan supported his back, gritted his teeth, and interrupted him. âDad, donât worry about anything else. Youâve to take care of your health right now.â
Ji Lingfeng narrowed his sharp eyes. Although pale and sickly, he couldnât hide the power in his bones. âIâm asking you a question.â
Ji Nan poured him a glass of water and handed it over. Seeing that Ji Lingfeng did not take it, he looked at him helplessly and said, âNian Nian helped resolve it. Those people donât dare to act rashly for the time being.â
Qiao Nian.
âNo, she canât get involved!â Ji Lingfengâs temples swelled as he propped himself up on the bed.
Ji Nan pressed him down. âDad! Elder Zhong said you have to rest in bed. Also, donât overthinkâ¦â
âMove aside!â Ji Lingfeng did not listen.

No one knew his physical condition better than him. He couldnât last much longer.
Since time was limited, he had to arrange everything in a short period of time.
Veins bulged on Ji Nanâs forehead. He stubbornly stood his ground and refused to move away. âThe doctor said you have to rest!â
Ji Lingfeng rarely saw him so disobedient. He frowned. But before he could get angry, Xie Yun rushed in from outside. Seeing the tense atmosphere between them, she seemed to know what they were arguing about. She slowed down and walked towards the bed.
âIf you want to argue, make it louder. Nian Nian has just returned and hasnât rested for even three hours. Itâs best if you vomit blood and faint again so that she wonât even have time to sleep.â
Ji Lingfeng calmed down when he detected the hidden meaning in her words.
Xie Yun placed the medicine she got from Zhong Yiliu on the bedside table and said without looking back, âI know what youâre thinking. You thought you had arranged everything, but in the end, not only did you not help her, but you also caused her to cut ties with the First Research Institute.
âNow, the Ji family is relying on her to suppress those restless people. Sheâs also taking on the familyâs mess. You should know better than me how many people in the independent continent want her life. She has offended more than half of the independent continent for us this time! If youâre still doing this for her own good, you shouldnât be stuck in a deadlock with Ji Nan here. Instead, you should cooperate with Elder Zhongâs treatment.
âBy the way, you donât know, do you?â
Xie Yun guessed he didnât notice this.
âNian Nian was the one who called Elder Zhong.â
With the Ji familyâs reputation, it was not guaranteed they could get Zhong Yiliu to fly over.
But Qiao Nian did it.
If Qiao Nian had not invited Zhong Yiliu in advance, Xie Yun imagined she wouldnât even have the chance to argue with him right now.
Therefore, even though they were quarreling, she was relatively calm.
âIf you donât want to drag her down, donât be stubborn anymore.â
Xie Yun looked into his eyes. âYou want to give the Ji family to her. Have you asked her if she wants it? With Nian Nianâs current ability, she really doesnât lack a Ji family.â
Initially, Ji Lingfeng was so agitated that he wanted to get up immediately. Now, it was as if all his strength had left him. He leaned back on the pillow again, his eyes unfocused and his expression tired.
âI didnât protect her mother back then, and now Iâm dragging her down. How can I face her after I die?â
Only Xie Yun understood who âherâ was.
She knew about Ji Lingfeng and Ji Qingâs past, as well as Ji Lingfengâs lifetime of regret.
She understood this manâs love and pain. Thatâs why she couldnât hate him.
âYouâll be letting her down if you continue being stubborn.â
If he continued like this, he would be letting Qiao Nian down for doing so much for the Ji family.
