Chapter 859: Chapter 859: It’ll be Good that He Didn’t Recognize Her

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ji Jianguo? This name was really too ancient.

A few of them looked a little stunned.

Among these people, Ji Yuanyuan paid close attention to Ji Zixuan’s expression.

After all, Ji Jianguo was always preferential to Ji Zixuan.

When he was young, he was also doted on by Ji Jianguo.

After he became sensible, he witnessed Ji Jianguo betray his family.

After a moment of shock, his expression became complicated.

“He’s sick. He has end-stage uremia,” Ji Yuanyuan continued.

“Actually, we heard some news a few years ago.” Li Yong sighed and said in a low voice. “That year, your biological grandmother passed away. After disappearing for many years, he came back and even brought back a wife and child.”

“It’s his stepson, not his biological son,” Li Lei added.

“I didn’t tell you because I didn’t think it was necessary.” Li Yong nodded. “It’s been so many years. He’s remarried outside, but he didn’t think of contacting you. Besides, your mother probably doesn’t want to hear about him.”

Li Yong sighed again.

“By the way, have you met? Did he recognize you?” Li Yong thought of this and quickly asked.

“I met him.” Ji Yuanyuan laughed bitterly. “I was standing right in front of him.”

“Then he…” Li Yong gasped.

Ji Yuanyuan shook her head. “He didn’t recognize me. He didn’t even find me familiar.”

Ji Jianguo looked at her as if she was a complete stranger.

Qin Mucheng reached out and held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand.

Ji Yuanyuan gently shook her head at him, indicating that she was fine.

After so many years, she had long lost hope for Ji Jianguo.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were related by blood, they would probably be worse than strangers.

Ji Jianguo did not recognize her, but she did not feel disappointed or sad at all.

Instead, she heaved a sigh of relief.

It was good that he didn’t recognize her.

If they didn’t recognize him, he wouldn’t disturb their lives.

“These few days, we’ll think of a way to make your parents come to the hospital as little as possible. Also, try to reduce the number of people in the hospital to avoid meeting them.” Li Lei said in a deep voice.

“Yes, I think it’s fine.” Li Yong nodded first.

“I agree too.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded in agreement.

Qin Mucheng naturally did not have any objections.

Only Ji Zixuan remained silent.

All four pairs of eyes looked at Ji Zixuan.

“Don’t worry.” Ji Zixuan smiled bitterly. “I have no objections.”

Seeing this, Li Yong waved his hand. “Alright, alright. You can all go back. The hospital isn’t a good place. Try not to bring the child here.”

People of their generation were more or less superstitious.

Usually, if the child was not sick or ill, it was taboo to let the child come to the hospital.

Ji Yuanyuan was a doctor and naturally did not believe in such things.

However, the elder had good intentions, so she could only listen.

“Although your grandmother is still in the ICU, it’s been so many years. This is the first time our family is so united. We still had to enjoy the New Year’s Eve dinner at night. Your grandmother will be happy to know about this.” Li Lei said.

“Understood, First Uncle, Second Uncle.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded.

Li Yong waved his hand again. “All of you go back. Your uncle and I will be fine.”

Then, he turned around and looked at Li Xiang and Li Nian. “We’ll take care of Grandma. If she wakes up, I’ll call the two of you immediately.”

Li Nian looked a little reluctant. “Grandma will definitely want to see me and Big Sister when she wakes up. Why don’t you guys go back, and we stay here?”

“Li Nian, I’m not in a good mood right now. You’d better listen to me.” Li Yong frowned.

Li Nian sighed deeply.

Li Xiang stood up with Tangtang in her arms.

Tangtang was afraid that Ji Yuanyuan would not want her anymore. She shouted at the top of her lungs, “Mommy, Mommy, huggie…”

Ji Yuanyuan went forward and carried Tangtang over.

“You and Mucheng can go first. I drove here. I’ll bring them.” Ji Zixuan looked at her.

“Then we’ll leave first.”

When she came down from upstairs, the sky was already dark.

After getting into the car, Qin Mucheng started the engine.

After Ji Yuanyuan placed Tangtang in the safety seat, she returned to the front passenger seat.

She had just sat down and had yet to fasten her seatbelt when Qin Mucheng reached out his hand.

Qin Mucheng’s warm hand wrapped around Ji Yuanyuan’s small hand.

His thumb gently caressed the back of her hand.

Ji Yuanyuan understood what he meant. She immediately smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I’m really fine. It had been so many years. The heart that should have been hurt had long been hurt, and the tears that should have been shed had all been shed. Besides, it’s not like I don’t have a father.”

Compared to Ji Jianguo, Zhang Kun was more like their biological father.

He took care of them and loved them day after day.

She was a little disappointed that Ji Jianguo didn’t recognize her.

However, it was only a small amount.

If it wasn’t Ji Jianguo today, but a classmate of hers from many years ago…

If the other party did not recognize her, she would also feel a little disappointed.

Qin Mucheng turned his head and stared into Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes.

Ji Yuanyuan did not dodge and just stared at Qin Mucheng.

A moment later, Qin Mucheng shifted his gaze away in relief.

He could tell from Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes that she was not lying.

Then, he was relieved.

Qin Mucheng started the car. He glanced at Tangtang from the rearview mirror and coaxed her. “We’re leaving!”

When Tangtang heard this, her small hand grabbed the seatbelt.

Qin Mucheng’s lips twitched, and he started the car.

When Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng brought Tangtang back to Grandma’s house, Li Xu and the rest were busy.

There were three stoves in the house: a clay stove, a gas stove, and a heater.

Zhang Kun, Qin Xiaomin, and Gong Wenbai each occupied one.

Inside the house, the smell was floating everywhere.

As soon as she entered, Tangtang couldn’t hold it in anymore.

She sniffed and murmured, “It smells so good-”

She dragged out her words, looking rather cute.

“Then eat more tonight.” Li Nian couldn’t help but pinch her little face.

Tangtang looked at Ji Yuanyuan with a wronged expression. “But Mommy doesn’t let me eat more.”

Li Nian laughed. “Who told you to eat so carelessly? Let’s see if you dare to do it again.”

Li Nian was cheerful and friendly.

The strange feeling of not seeing each other for a few years disappeared in less than two days.

Tangtang’s eyes widened, and her mouth twitched. She turned around and threw herself into Ji Yuanyuan’s arms.

Ji Yuanyuan quickly hugged her.

“I don’t like Uncle anymore. He’s mocking me,” Tangtang said sullenly.

“Wow, you even know what mocking means?” Li Nian laughed again.

Tangtang hugged Ji Yuanyuan’s little hand even more tightly. It was obvious that she was even angrier.

“Brat, don’t mess with Tangtang.” Qin Xiaomin happened to come in and slapped Li Nian’s butt.

Li Nian jumped to the side with a cry. He covered his butt and looked at Qin Xiaomin awkwardly. “Mom, how many times have I told you? Pay attention to your image.”

Looking at Li Nian’s embarrassed expression, everyone in the room could not help but laugh..
