Chapter 158 The Jiang Family Is Kind-hearted

Jiang Aiguo's call silenced everyone. Feeling their gazes on her, Jiang Lili stepped forward, took the receiver, and asked softly, "Is it serious?"

"The old couple of the Ji family came to see me at noon. I went to the hospital to inquire about it in the afternoon. This time it is quite serious. It is not the first time he has been hospitalized due to alcohol poisoning." Jiang Aiguo recalled the scene he saw in the hospital and shook his head. Ji Yushu's current situation was caused by himself.

"Although he liked to drink before, it was just one drink a day. When did he become an alcoholic?" Jiang Lili was a little surprised. In the plot, he was successful in his career and everything he wanted came true, so he naturally wouldn't be an alcoholic. Is he drinking now because he didn't have a son and his career was not successful?

"Maybe he started drinking after that woman ran away, and coupled with the incident at your college entrance examination wedding, those people looked down on him even more, so he drank even more. He probably thought he couldn't hear the gossip when he was drunk. I heard that he reeks of alcohol every day. I don't know if he can make it through this time." Jiang Aiguo didn't want Jiang Lili to come back secretly, but he was also afraid that she would be criticized because of this incident. People always tend to sympathize with the weaker party.

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Lili did not give an answer immediately. Jiang Aiguo also knew that she needed time to digest the news, so he ended the call quickly.

After the call ended, the warm atmosphere turned silent. After a long while, Jiang Yulan finally spoke: "I'll go back with you."

"No need, I can go back by myself. They are like this now. Are you still worried that I will be bullied?" Jiang Lili shook her head and rejected Jiang Yulan's suggestion. She had the obligation to go back to see Ji Yushu, but Jiang Yulan did not.

"Lili is right. Aiguo is still in Yuncheng now. Lili wants to go to the hospital to see him, so she can let Aiguo accompany him." Zhou Qingfen agreed with Jiang Lili's words.

"Yes, my uncle is in Yuncheng, Mom, you don't have to worry." Jiang Lili said and patted the back of Jiang Yulan's hand to comfort her.

"Lili, what you said makes sense. So when do you plan to go back?" Jiang Jianyi asked.

"Since we have to go back, we have to put on a good show. The sooner the better. We can fly back directly tomorrow." Jiang Lili quickly made a decision.

Jiang Jianyi nodded in agreement. Since he had chosen to go back, he had to leave no room for criticism. After thinking for a moment, he suggested, "Remember to let others know about this. Also, no matter what you buy for him or what money you give him, make sure to let others know so that they don't have the opportunity to blame you."

"I understand, grandpa." Jiang Lili nodded to indicate that she remembered it. These interpersonal relationships in life are also a kind of great wisdom.

"They asked Lili to go back. Maybe they wanted Lili to take care of him?" Zhou Qingfen frowned and guessed.

"Maybe it's possible to ask Lili to bring him to Beijing, but his current condition is not suitable for a long journey. If it really comes to this, you can agree to him first." Jiang Jianyi sighed helplessly after saying this.

"Why should I agree to him? Don't we still have Ji Mingyue?" Jiang Lili shook her head. She could agree to go back to visit Ji Yushu, but she would not agree to every request. She also had her own bottom line.

"That's true. I think Lili has a plan in mind. We don't need to worry too much." This time it was Jiang Yulan who comforted them.

"Since we have to go back to Yuncheng tomorrow, you should go to bed early." Jiang Jianyi urged her to go to bed quickly.

"I have to go back to school to ask for leave tomorrow, and I will probably leave in the afternoon. I'll go back to the room and pack some clothes." Jiang Lili said as she walked into the room.

After she entered the room, Zhou Qingfen whispered, "Sister, do you think he can survive this?"

"It would be best if he can't survive, but as the old saying goes, a scourge lasts for a thousand years. I don't know how long Ji Yushu will drag down Lili." Jiang Yulan hoped that Ji Yushu would just die this time.

"No one can tell for sure about this kind of thing. Let's wait for Lili to go back and take a look before making a decision." Although Jiang Jianyi had the same idea as Jiang Yulan, who could guarantee such a thing?

"Let's all go to bed early. I will take Lili to school tomorrow and then to the airport." After saying this, Jiang Yulan started to call Cheng Yuntian to ask for leave.

Jiang Lili, packing her luggage in her room, also felt a bit unreal. She had never imagined that the reason she returned to Yuncheng would be this. She couldn't help but wonder, now the people in the plot were so different from the plot, had the plot completely disappeared? No one would be constrained by the plot anymore. She was willing to go back for another reason: she wanted to see Ji Mingyue, perhaps judging from her condition whether the power of the plot had completely disappeared.

The next morning, Jiang Yulan drove Jiang Lili to school to ask for leave, and stopped by the dormitory to take her things home for the week. When she came out of school, Jiang Yulan was on the phone in the car. It sounded like something was going on in the workshop. After the call ended, she casually asked, "What happened in the workshop?"

"Zhao Dong asked me about my daily records. The orders have increased a lot recently, and the workshop has been very busy. Yan Wenyu's design sold well this time." Jiang Yulan's tone was full of relief. Only with Yan Wenyu and the others supporting her could Jiang Lili feel at ease.

"That's really good news." Jiang Lili also looked happy.

"However, the highest sales volume in the factory is still related to the three little ones. It seems that this alone can support the factory in the future." Jiang Yulan said with pride in her tone.

"It seems that the decision made at that time was the right one. After Youbei is established, we can consider collaborating with the three little ones." Jiang Lilixiang, Jiang Yulan was right, as long as this IP was built well, she and Cheng Yuntian could really make a living from it for the rest of their lives.

"Going straight to the airport now?" They had already put their suitcases for Yuncheng in the trunk when they left this morning. "Yeah, let's go straight to the airport," Jiang Lili nodded. She was also curious about Ji Yushu's current condition.

＊

At Yuncheng Hospital, Ji Yuanping and Chen Guilan had been so anxious they'd blistered at the mouth the past few days. They'd seen their third child, whose good behavior had meant he'd be released soon, but they'd never imagined something like this would happen to their second child. Over the past few years, the old couple had aged considerably due to the Ji family's poor reputation. Now, not only did they have to come to the hospital to see Ji Yushu, they also had Ji Wenwu and Ji Xingyue waiting to be cared for at home.

Since Ji Wenwu dropped out of school, he has been staying at home playing games every day. No matter how they try to persuade him, he won't listen. Ji Xingyue is sensible, but no matter how sensible she is, she is only three years old. If she hadn't been smart this time, the second child would probably have died.

Chen Guilan's face was filled with fatigue. "Do you think that girl will come back?"

"Even if she doesn't want to come back, that old fox Jiang Jianyi will let her come back." Ji Yuanping said in a firm tone.

"That's right. And that girl Mingyue, why hasn't she come back yet? We shouldn't have let her go to college. She has become wild in her heart. I don't know what kind of magic potion she fed to the second brother to make him trust her so much." Chen Guilan said hatefully.

"Okay, what's the point of talking about this now? Let's wait until they come back." Ji Yuanping sighed after he finished speaking. The hospital was asking for payment again. The money the old couple had in their hands was their life savings. It would be good if they could be saved, but if they couldn't, wouldn't they lose both their money and their lives?

"Okay, let's go back first. I don't know if Wenwu has eaten." Chen Guilan said as she glanced at the ward behind her, and then sighed. What happened to their family in recent years? Things were always going wrong.

"He's already a grown man, how can he starve to death?" Ji Yuanping's tone was full of displeasure when he heard her mention Ji Wenwu. He did not blame himself for doting on Ji Wenwu too much in the past, but only felt that Ji Wenwu was an ungrateful person.

Seeing that he was angry, Chen Guilan didn't say anything. In the past two years, Ji Wenwu's various behaviors really made her feel cold. She tried to recall that all the misfortunes in the Ji family seemed to have started with the second son's divorce. She regretted it so much: "Tell me, if we had kept it a secret from the Jiang family and quietly settled the mother and daughter, wouldn't our family have ended up like this?"

"What's the point of saying this now?" Ji Yuanping glanced at her. This was not the first time she had asked herself this question, but it was a pity that it was useless to ask it again.

Back at the ironworks, the old couple didn't know how many sympathetic looks they received along the way. Compared to such sympathy, they would rather continue with their previous disdain. As soon as they arrived home, Ji Xingyue came up to them and asked, "Grandpa, is my dad okay?"

"Has your sister come back?" Chen Guilan asked.

"No." Ji Xingyue shook her head.

"Where is your brother Wenwu? Have you seen him?" Chen Guilan still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

"Playing games in his room." Ji Xingyue pointed to Ji Wenwu's room.

"What a sin!" Chen Guilan patted her chest. Ji Wenwu is such an old man, and such a big thing happened at home, but he has never thought about sharing the burden with them. He still stays in his room playing games every day.

"Okay, stop crying and go cook." Ji Yuanping stopped him in a cold voice.

Ji Xingyue glanced at them and asked carefully, "Grandpa, can't Dad come back yet?"

"Not yet." Ji Yuanping waved his hand and motioned her to go away. Ji Xingyue could only go to her and Ji Mingyue's room. She stared at Ji Mingyue's things in the room, not knowing when her sister would come back.

Jiang Lili didn't go to the hospital immediately after getting off the plane. Instead, she returned to the cotton mill. Although it was not time to get off work, there were still many people in the yard. Everyone was a little surprised to see her: "Lili, why are you back? Aren't you going to school?"

"My father is in the hospital. I heard his condition is quite serious. I asked for leave to come back and see him." Jiang Lili's tone was a little sad.

"It seems to be true. I don't know what's wrong with Ji Yushu. He even drank himself into the hospital." Someone whispered to the people around him.

"Aunts, you guys chat. I'll go back and put my things away first. After that I have to go see my dad." Jiang Lili had achieved her goal, so she carried her luggage upstairs.

"This girl is really kind-hearted. Even after Ji Yushu treated her like that before, she still forgot about the past."

"That's right. In my opinion, the Jiang family is still too kind-hearted."

"That's right, the Ji family has done more than just those dirty things."

When Jiang Lili came downstairs, everyone's discussion was still going on. She waved goodbye to them and hurried off to the ironworks. After the previous banquet, the people at the ironworks had a very good impression of Jiang Lili. It was getting off work now, and seeing her, everyone couldn't help but ask, "Lili, are you back to see your dad?"

"Yes, I will come back to see him." Jiang Lili nodded gently.

"The Jiang family is kind. If I were Jiang Yulan, I would definitely not allow Lili to come back. Look, she's carrying so many things. Mingyue just came back, but she didn't bring anything."

Jiang Lili couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this. Ji Mingyue has returned? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but quicken her pace. As soon as she stepped into the yard, she saw Ji Mingyue. Her eyes were full of surprise. How did she become like this?
