Seeing Madam Ji's hysterical state, Ji Sinian and Ji Siyu found it hard to accept.
After all, their mother usually appeared elegant and noble in front of them.
"Mom, please don't do this."
Ji Sinian couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to support Madam Ji, saying, "The deed is done, we should think about how to minimize the impact now, there's no use in losing your temper like this!"
"What's the use now! My reputation is ruined. In this industry, reputation is the most important thing, don't you know that?"
Mrs. Ji shouted emotionally, "Your mother has been bullied like this, and you all still remain indifferent!"
"That's because you did something wrong first!" Ji Siyu couldn't help but say.
“I was wrong first, but I did this all for you guys. If you were any more capable, why would I have to do this?”
Madam Ji pointed at the two of them angrily and scolded, "Do you think I only took action three years ago? It's because I initially looked down on Ji Minxiu, but he performed too well. I only took action as a precaution, and in the end, just as I thought, look at him now, he's about to push you all out of the picture!"
What Madam Ji said was true, and neither the brother nor sister had anything to say.
They also wanted to assert themselves, saying that they could defeat Ji Minxiu fairly and squarely, without needing Madam Ji's help.
But they couldn't bring themselves to say it.
Because they all understood in their hearts that they agreed with Madam Ji's approach.
Ji Minxiu is no ordinary person, he's a prodigy!
Being a competitor to a genius like him is truly a nightmare for them.
Finally, Ji Siyu spoke first, "You can't do such a thing, it could kill someone!"
“I never intended for him to die. I just wanted to give him the antidote after his health collapsed and he lost his right to be the heir. I didn’t expect it to take so long to take effect.”
After Madam Ji finished speaking, she couldn't help but grit her teeth, "Moreover, if he hadn't suddenly stayed at home for more than a month, I wouldn't have believed that his health would suddenly collapse. It turns out that he had been planning this for so long!"
After all, the master had told her that with the intervention of modern medicine, the onset might be slower, so she had always been very patient.
If Ji Minxiu heard this, he would definitely say that it was just a very coincidental misunderstanding.
"Then why did you unplug his oxygen tube?" Ji Sinian asked in a low voice.
"I was too hasty. Look at what Ji Minxiu has been doing lately. He's always come out on top in assessments, and his reputation in the group is growing. I thought it was a good opportunity to get rid of him, and in a moment of impulsiveness..."
After speaking, Madam Ji slumped into a chair, exhausted. "Could this be fate? This little bastard's luck is so good it's enviable."
The Ji siblings also strongly agreed with this statement.
"Luck is also a form of strength."
At this moment, Old Master Ji walked in from outside and frowned when he saw the mess on the floor. "Looking at you like this, you don't look like the mistress of the house at all."
"Dad, what brings you here?"
Upon seeing Old Master Ji, Madam Ji was startled and immediately stood up in a fluster.
She hadn't expected the old man to come in person.
"I came here to ask you if you still want your two children to have a bright future," Old Master Ji said coldly without saying much more.
“Of course I wanted to,” Madam Ji quickly said, “but everyone knows about this now, and there’s no way to undo it. It’s all that little bastard’s fault…”
"Alright, you've wronged Xiaoxiu now, so you'd better not speak so recklessly anymore!"
Old Master Ji interrupted coldly, "The best solution right now is for you to leave the country immediately. As long as you disappear from public view, the public opinion will naturally subside, and things will be fine once the storm has passed."
"Going abroad..."
Madam Ji's eyes widened instantly. Was this an indication that she was to be banished?
"That's right, this is the only way right now. Don't worry, everything has been taken care of over there, you won't suffer," Old Master Ji said in a deep voice.
"It's all taken care of... Hehe... Dad, you're here to inform me, right? Why ask any more questions?"
Madam Ji murmured a few words in despair, then looked up hopefully at Ji Sinian and his sister, "You two are the same, wanting to send your mother abroad?"
"Mom, I'll prepare the money and everything for you, you won't suffer." Ji Sinian hesitated for a while, then finally turned his head away.
The successor cannot be decided so quickly. Although it has some impact now, they will be able to hold their heads high again once Madam Ji's matter subsides.
"Money, is it a matter of money? Doesn't Mom miss you? Doesn't she miss your grandparents?" Madam Ji, who had been strong her whole life, couldn't help but shed tears now.
"Mom, don't cry. Just think of it as a trip. We'll come to see you when we have time."
Ji Siyu couldn't bear it any longer and stepped forward to wipe away Madam Ji's tears, saying, "Just consider it a little grievance for our sake. Do you want to see us being pointed at and gossiped about when we go out?"
"Yes, Mom, if you stay in China, people will think of you as soon as they see us, and they will turn their anger on us. Is that what you want to see?"
Ji Sinian also sat down next to Madam Ji and gently advised, "But if you go abroad, even if they see us, they won't be so curious or malicious if they know you're not in the country."
“The children are right. If you really care about them, you should go abroad as soon as possible to minimize the impact.”
Grandpa Ji also said, "I will have someone spread the news of your departure abroad as soon as possible, and I will not let you suffer in vain."
Upon hearing this, Madam Ji fell silent.
She knew that this was indeed the best solution at the moment.
But she just couldn't accept it!
She suddenly realized that her current situation was no different from that of the mechanic's mother.
She's alone in a foreign land, and who knows how many years she'll have to stay. By the time she returns, the Ji family head's feelings for her will probably have grown distant.
hehe…
What goes around comes around; is this her retribution?
In the end, Madam Ji compromised.
The next day, news of Mrs. Ji's departure from the country became a trending topic.
However, news of Ji Minxiu's status as a legitimate child was soon revealed, instantly dominating the headlines and overshadowing the news of Madam Ji's alleged harm to Ji Minxiu.
"Damn it, this must have been done by the Ji family, deliberately using your public opinion to save Fang Xiulian's reputation."
Assistant Lin looked at the trending topics about Ji Minxiu while helping him pack his things to prepare for discharge from the hospital, and said indignantly.
"Forget it, since I've already agreed not to pursue it, what they do is none of my business."
After Ji Minxiu finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Assistant Lin and asked, "If I said I wanted to leave the Ji family and go out on my own, would you be willing to come with me?"
"What, go out and work on your own?"
Assistant Lin asked in astonishment, "Are you kidding me? Do you know how highly the entire group's top management values you? The position of heir is right in front of you, why do you want to go out and start your own business?"
