Chapter 219 Ancestor Worship
"What! Wang Yuting was taken away! And she's engaged to Chi Mingwei?!"
When Feng Hao got the news, he was completely stunned.
"Yes, Master. What should we do now?"
Feng Hao stood there for a while, thought about it and gritted his teeth.
"What else can I do? Go tell my second brother."
…
Feng Hao took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the ward with the lunch box. When he arrived at the door of the ward, he hesitated for a moment before gently pushing the door open.
Chi Wenyan was half lying on the hospital bed. When he saw Feng Hao come in, his gaze returned to the document in his hand.
"What's wrong? You look so tense."
"Second, second brother, there is something I have to tell you. Don't be angry when you hear it." Feng Hao scratched his head, not daring to look directly into Chi Wenyan's eyes.
Chi Wenyan paused while typing, his brows furrowed slightly.
"What's wrong? Why are you so hesitant? Did you poke a hole in the sky?"
Feng Hao gritted his teeth, almost crying. "It's Wang Yuting. She's been taken away, and... and she's engaged to Chi Mingwei."
When Chi Wenyan heard the news, his eyes widened slightly, and then his face was full of disbelief.
But soon he slowly leaned back against the head of the bed, and the surprise in his eyes was gradually replaced by calmness.
"This time it was my fault for neglecting the supervision. I asked someone to check the mental hospital's surveillance. It turned out that one of their people disguised as a nurse went in and took Wang Yuting out. My people were all sent away."
"Second brother, it's all my fault. I didn't keep an eye on her. I..." Feng Hao lowered his head, his voice full of regret.
Chi Wenyan waved his hand gently.
"It's not your fault. It's obvious that this was premeditated. What you need to do now is to pay attention to Chi Mingwei's movements. I will also arrange for my people to keep an eye on the two of them."
"Chi Mingwei and Wang Yuting are marrying each other, just treating her as a chess piece. How can a chess piece have so much freedom? She has many restrictions. It's not too late to take action now."
After hearing what Chi Wenyan said, Feng Hao felt a little better, but he still couldn't help sighing and blaming himself.
"Yes, I'm really sorry about this, second brother."
"Now is not the time to think about these things. We must first figure out what their purpose is."
Feng Hao nodded. He had to admit that Chi Wenyan’s emotional management was much better than his.
His originally restless heart became much clearer after hearing what Chi Wenyan said.
He tilted his head slightly, with a puzzled look in his eyes, and asked softly.
"Second brother, what on earth do you think Chi Mingwei is up to?"
Chi Wenyan sneered, his smile revealing the indifference and disdain of someone who knew everything.
"What new tricks can he come up with? It's nothing more than those few methods." Chi Wenyan raised his chin slightly, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
"Either he's trying to make things difficult for me in business, or he's bringing Wang Yuting around to disgust me, or else he's fabricating malicious rumors in an attempt to tarnish my reputation." Chi Wenyan's voice was filled with deep sarcasm. "He's like a clown who thinks his little tricks can do anything to me. Little does he know that all he's doing is making people see more clearly how narrow-minded and stupid he is."
When Feng Hao heard this, he felt that it was indeed the case.
He curled his lips, his face full of sarcasm.
"This guy is so stupid. Instead of taking the right path, he just wants to use these despicable means. Does he think that he can gain a foothold in the Chi family or suppress you in this way? It's simply wishful thinking. Those people in the Chi family treat him like a treasure, especially his father. I really don't know what's in their heads. They just let him do whatever he wants, and they are not afraid that he will ruin the reputation of the Chi family in the end." Feng Hao said, shaking his head.
"Well, now just keep an eye on their movements."
The two chatted for a while, and at the same time, Ji Wan got up, packed up, put on a simple sportswear, and went downstairs.
Ji Lin looked energetic in casual clothes, while Wang Lan looked lively and energetic in the same casual clothes.
"Wanwan, you finally came down. We have been waiting for you for a while." Ji Lin said with a smile.
"Brother, Xiaolan, I'm sorry, we got up a little late. Let's leave now." Ji Wan scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He had gone to bed early yesterday, but suddenly missed someone in the middle of the night and talked on the phone until midnight.
Ji Lin had a look of seeing through everything, so Ji Wan quickly walked around him and walked forward holding Wang Lan's arm.
A moment later, several people took the prepared offerings and drove to the mountain to worship their ancestors.
Along the way, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light, and the breeze brings bursts of fresh air, but the higher you go up the mountain, the more difficult the road becomes.
The path on the mountain is rugged and covered with stones of various sizes and tangled tree roots.
Wang Lan accidentally tripped over a stone and fell forward.
Ji Lin was quick to reach out and help, but he was unable to completely stop Wang Lan from falling.
"Xiaolan, are you okay?" Ji Wan asked anxiously.
"It's okay, I just twisted my foot and it hurts a little." Wang Lan frowned and quickly got ready so as not to delay the journey.
Ji Lin held her down, squatted slightly, and gently checked Wang Lan's feet.
"Lanlan, let me carry you up. This road is too difficult to walk on, and you can't walk on your own like this."
Before Wang Lan could answer, Ji Lin had already carried Wang Lan on his back.
Wang Lan hugged Ji Lin's neck a little shyly.
Seeing this scene, Ji Wan couldn't help but joked, "Ah, eating dog food so early in the morning, but I love it."
"Wanwan, stop teasing us." Wang Lan's fair face turned slightly red.
Ji Lin's handsome face also turned red, and he coughed. "Okay, stop arguing and get going. Wanwan, you should also watch your feet. If you can't walk anymore, just make a sound. We'll rest for a while."
"Don't worry, I'm in good physical condition."
Ji Lin carried Wang Lan on his back. Although the weight was increased, his steps were still steady. Wang Lan carefully wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Ji Wan walked beside them, occasionally reaching out to help move aside the branches blocking the way, and the few of them slowly walked up the mountain.
Along the way, the mountains and forests were so quiet that only their footsteps and the occasional bird calls could be heard.
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming spots of light that fall on the ground.
Ji Wan looked up at Ji Lin's strong back, feeling relieved that this workaholic brother had finally found his own happiness.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the cemetery on the hill.
The place is shrouded in tranquility, with tombstones standing quietly surrounded by neatly trimmed grass.
Ji Lin gently put Wang Lan down, then walked to the tombstone. His expression became solemn and pious, and his clear voice sounded like a clear spring in the mountains.
"Dad, Mom, I'm here to see you." Ji Lin's voice trembled slightly. He looked at his parents' names on the tombstone, his eyes full of longing.
"This year I lived up to your trust and found someone I love. Her name is Wang Lan. She saved me before and is a very good girl. She is kind and gentle, and she is very good to me and Wanwan as well. I like her very much. I think if you were still here, you would definitely like her very much too."
