Ji Zixuanâs halt made the expressions of several people present change.
Especially Zhang Kun, his expression was extremely ugly.
Ji Yuanyuan felt a little uneasy.
Big Brother seemed to be cold to everyone, but he was actually very sentimental.
After not seeing each other for so many years, would he have forgotten all the hardships and sufferings that the three of them had suffered?
Now that she saw Ji Jianguo leading such a miserable life, her heart softened? If that was the caseâ¦
Ji Jianguoâs expression changed when he saw Ji Zixuan stop in his tracks.
There was a faint smile in his eyes. He deliberately made some noise. âIâm old. My legs are uselessâ¦â
Before he could finish, Ji Zixuan left the hospital building.
When the others saw this, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
Ji Jianguoâs expression froze again.
He looked at the entrance of the inpatient building in disbelief. He could not believe that his son had ignored him, who was on the ground, and left so quickly.
When he came back to his senses, the group of people had long disappeared.
His wife stood beside him and said sarcastically, âYouâre really useless. Your son didnât even look at you. If he doesnât care about you, you really wonât be able to survive.â
Ji Jianguo struggled to get up from the ground. He looked at the door and muttered to himself, âHe will take care of me. He will.â
The woman sneered and crossed her arms, ignoring Ji Jianguo. At the hospitalâs parking lot, Ji Yuanyuan carried Tangtang into the car. Tangtang didnât sleep much last night and today. Therefore, she felt a little drowsy in Ji Yuanyuanâs arms.
Ji Yuanyuanâs right hand gently caressed Tangtangâs back, coaxing her to sleep.
âAre we going back?â Qin Mucheng asked softly.
Ji Yuanyuan looked down at Tangtang in his arms.
If they went back to their hometown, they would definitely not be able to sleep well at night if the whole family slept in one place.
âWait a moment, Iâll let them know.â Ji Yuanyuan said and was about to roll down the car window.
At this moment, a figure strode over.
Ji Zixuan got into their car.
âYouâre not driving anymore?â Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised.
âIâm not in a good mood,â he whispered. âIâll let my uncle drive my car.â
Ji Yuanyuan moved to the side and gave up her seat for Ji Zixuan.
Ji Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment. âWeâre going to the villa in the county,â she said softly. âCome with us.â
Ji Zixuan returned to his senses, âIâm sorry, I forgot. Iâll take their carâ¦â
âBrother, come with us. There are individual rooms on the first floor. We wonât disturb each other.â Ji Yuanyuan grabbed his arm.
She knew he must be feeling very complicated right now.
If he went back to his hometown, there would be so much noise that he wouldnât even have time to think.
Ji Zixuan was stunned for a moment before smiling bitterly. âSorry to bother you tonight.â
Ji Zixuan had always been a sensible brother and would never interfere too much in his sisterâs family matters.
Ji Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Ji Zixuan had accepted her suggestion.
Qin Mucheng started the car very quickly and headed to the villa area.
The county town was not big, and there were not many people on the road. In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the residential area.
Ji Zixuan was the first to get out of the car. He walked to the other side and helped Ji Yuanyuan open the door.
Tangtang was already sound asleep. Ji Yuanyuan got out of the car carefully, afraid that she would wake Tangtang up if she moved too much.
There was a parking space in front of the villa. Qin Mucheng quickly parked his car and got out of the car.
The keys to the villa were in Qin Muchengâs pocket.
He quickly opened the door of the villa and whispered to Ji Yuanyuan. âGive me Tangtang. Iâll bring her upstairs to sleep.â
Ji Yuanyuan hesitated for a few seconds but still accepted Qin Muchengâs suggestion and placed Tangtang in Qin Muchengâs arms.
She thought that Ji Zixuan might need to talk to someone.
She had to know what Ji Zixuan was thinking.
After Qin Mucheng brought Tangtang upstairs, Ji Yuanyuan turned around.
Ji Zixuan had already sat down on the sofa. He reached out to touch the sofa with a complicated expression.
âWhat are you thinking about?â Ji Yuanyuan sat down on the sofa on the other side and asked softly.
â1 remember when we were young. Dad and Mom were busy so that we would come to Grandpa Qinâs place on weekends.â Ji Zixuan chuckled. âI usually read there. That shelf used to be full of books.â
He pointed at a corner and said.
âWhen Grandpa moved back to B City, he took all his books back,â explained Ji Yuanyuan.
He then looked at the television cabinet. âYou usually watch TV with Grandpa Qin here. The two of you were polite to each other. Grandpa Qin wants to accommodate you to watch the childrenâs channel, but you want to accommodate him to watch the drama or the news channel.â
Ji Yuanyuan also laughed. âThatâs right. Second Brother usually canât stay idle at home. Heâll run out after a while.â
âWe also stay here when thereâs a game console at home.â Ji Zixuan added.
Thinking back to the time when they were young, the siblings looked at each other and laughed out loud.
However, as they laughed, the two of them could not laugh anymore.
Ji Yuanyuan let out a long sigh. âDo you still remember when Mom just got divorced and brought us to live in Eldest Uncleâs house? Almost every meal was porridge and sweet potatoes. Grandma asked Aunty to send some meat and vegetables over. Itâs just a small piece of meat.â
She gestured with her hands. âAfter stir-frying, there are only a few pieces.
Mom canât bear to eat them, so she let us eat them all.â
âYes, at that time, Grandmaâs family was also pitiful. That small piece of meat was divided by them.â
âBig Brother, have you forgotten why we had such a hard time when we were young?â
He stared blankly at his toes.
Had he forgotten? Of course, he hadnât forgotten.
âItâs been so many years. He has long paid off his debts and doesnât have to hide anymore. He had the time and money to get married and raise his stepson, but he never thought of looking for us.â
No matter what, they were Ji Jianguoâs biological children. After so many years, did Ji Jianguo really not miss them?
If he wanted to, he only needed to ask around, and he would know where they were going.
But he had never tried to contact them.
If they hadnât met at the hospital, perhaps they wouldnât have known until Ji Jianguo died.
âI know. I donât want to acknowledge him.â Ji Zixuan sounded a little disappointed.
Moreover, he might not be sincere in acknowledging you now.â Ji Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment before saying.
âWhat do you mean?â Ji Zixuan looked up in confusion.
Ji Yuanyuan sighed. Big brother was such a smart person, why did he become so slow now?
âDo you know what illness he has?â Ji Yuanyuan asked again.
What?!â Ji Zixuan was stunned for a moment before his expression changed. âYou mean?â
âHe has kidney disease. As long as he gets a healthy kidney, he can still live.
Tell me, who wouldnât want to live?â
Especially someone like Ji Jianguo. He didnât want to die. He wanted to continue living more than anyone else..
