Ji Gao looked at Du Liâs gentle appearance and thought of the disobedient Jiang He at home. At the same time that he was increasingly dissatisfied with Jiang He, he also liked Du Li more and more.
He walked to Du Liâs side and stroked the back of her head so that her head could lean against him.
âDonât worry, Iâll be with you and Lin Lin soon after Iâm done.â As he spoke, Ji Gaoâs gaze landed on Ji Lin, who was lying on the hospital bed.
Ji Lin was now in the late stages of uremia and was completely dependent on the hospitalâs medicine and equipment to maintain his life.
However, with the disgust and anorexia, Ji Linâs originally medium fat body was now so thin that he was only skin and bones. If one looked from afar, they would even think that it was a skeleton on the bed.
Coupled with the fact that Ji Linâs skin was dry and even peeling off, it made Ji Lin look a little terrifying.
At the thought of Ji Linâs nausea and vomiting, as well as his lack of energy and anxiety, Ji Gaoâs heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.
He did not understand why it was his favorite son that had to suffer such illness.
Du Li glanced at Ji Gao, who was looking at Ji Lin in deep thought. She couldnât help but reach out and push Ji Gaoâs waist. She reminded him gently, âHubby, donât you still have something to do? Then you can go and do it first!â
Hearing Du Liâs words, Ji Gao came back to his senses and recalled the news he had just received.
He nodded and said a few words to Ji Lin, who was awake on the bed, before leaving the hospital.
When Ji Gao found out about Jiang Heâs destination, the other party had already arrived at the Ji familyâs old residence.
Old Master Ji looked at Jiang He and nodded lightly. Previously, he still had the heart to deal with Jiang He, but after Ji Chenâs incident, he didnât want to see Jiang He, who had a deep relationship with Ji Chen, so his attitude towards Jiang He naturally became cold.
Jiang He did not care about Old Master Jiâs attitude. She sat down opposite Old Master Ji, and the corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile.
âDad, you really went through a lot of trouble to hide it from me. Only now do I know what you guys did behind my back.â
Old Master Ji was dissatisfied with Jiang Heâs attitude, especially after Ji Chenâs incident, he was even more unwilling to let anyone escape from his control.
He lifted his eyelids, and his blurred gaze landed on Jiang He. âIs this how you talk to me?!â
âWhat kind of attitude should I have if 1 donât use this attitude?â Jiang He sneered. âYou guys are targeting my son behind my back. Donât tell me you want me to be nice to you?!â
Old Master Jiâs face stiffened. He did not expect Jiang He to already know what they had done.
However, his expression quickly relaxed.
After all, he was not at fault in this matter at all. Naturally, he was not worried that Jiang He would cause trouble.
He gave her a mirthless smile. âSo thatâs what youâre here to talk about. Your parents know about this too. They approve of what Iâm doing.â
To Mr Jiang and Mrs Jiang, the most important thing was naturally the Ji Group. Ji Chenâs company could not be compared to the Ji Group at all.
They naturally would not agree with Ji Chenâs decision to leave Ji Group even if he did not want it. Therefore, they chose to stand by and watchthe Ji Group suppress Radiant.
âWhat my parentsâ views are, they are my parentsâ views. My views are mine. As Chenâs mother, I naturally wonât stop him from doing what he wants to do.â
At this point, Jiang He deliberately paused.
Her eyes turned cold as she continued, âBut I canât watch helplessly as you suppress Chenâer!â
Jiang Heâs expression was serious, and her stern expression was rather imposing. Even in front of Old Master Ji, she could maintain it slightly.
Old Master Ji gripped the walking stick in his hand tightly and sized Jiang He up.
Previously, he had always thought that Jiang He was stupid. Now, it seemed that she still had some brains and boldness. However, in front of him, it was not enough.
The aura around Old Master Ji became even more intimidating, and his blurred eyes became clear.
âThen what do you want to do?â
âItâs very simple. Revoke the Ji Groupâs ban on Chenâerâs company and compensate Chenâerâs company for the losses during this period of time. I think this shouldnât be a big problem for the Ji Group, right?â
Jiang He straightened her back.. Facing Old Master Jiâs pressure, she did not back down at all and revealed he
