"..." Seeing her smile, Ji Zhixia frowned.
Even though I heard what I wanted to hear from her, for some reason... I just felt like something was off.
Only the father and daughter came to the hospital today. Ji Pengfei went to the doctor's office, while Ji Zhixia, unable to beat Ji Zhinan, could only vent her frustration with words and hurl insults.
"Ji Zhinan, it's good that you have the self-awareness! You're a bastard, disgusting, a scumbag!"
"..." Ji Zhinan's face quickly darkened. Her eyes narrowed into slits, and her right hand clenched into a fist. Ji Zhixia thought she had misheard; she seemed to hear a "creaking" sound as if bones were moving...
Startled, Ji Zhixia panicked and shouted, "You've been living off my family for so many years, we've done our duty to raise you! Besides, my grandfather has been incredibly good to you. This is my grandfather's hospital room, how dare you hit his own granddaughter here!"
"..." Ji Zhinan, who was about to slap Ji Zhinan, suddenly stopped.
Seeing that she had taken her threat to heart, Ji Zhixia quickly added, "You ungrateful wretch, go ahead and hit me if you dare! Let the old man watch, let him see what he's been doting on all these years!"
After saying that, she pretended to be reckless and closed her eyes, appearing calm on the surface, but in reality she was trembling with fear.
"..."
Ji Zhinan fell silent, as if someone had pressed down on his mute acupoint.
The door to the ward was closed, so she couldn't see Grandpa Ji's current condition.
Just thinking about the old man lying there, barely breathing...
Ji Zhixia is right. In the entire Ji family, the only person who unconditionally favors her is her grandfather…
Ji Pengfei and his wife ignored her and loathed her; Ji Zhixia, knowing she wasn't her sister, bullied and humiliated her; even Mu Daxiang and his wife, upon hearing she wasn't a daughter of the Ji family, frantically tried to get Mu Zeyu and Ji Zhixia together, keeping them far away from her.
Only the old man treated me with all his heart.
The old man once said, "Grandpa hasn't reached the point of dementia yet. Although your parents treat you two sisters equally, it's obvious that they favor your older sister. So Grandpa will love you a little more, so that you and Xiaxia can enjoy the same amount of love."
It's not just a little more love, it's boundless favoritism...
In the end, Ji Zhinan chose to back down when faced with the infuriating Ji Zhixia.
For the sake of the old man.
This can be considered a way of repaying some of the kindness shown to them over the years.
Ji Zhinan looked up at the door of the intensive observation room. She was separated from Old Master Ji by the door, and she couldn't see him...
He lowered his eyes, his expression somewhat forlorn.
Ji Zhixia waited in vain for the slap to fall on her. She cautiously opened one eye, only to find that Ji Zhinan had chosen to leave in silence, her figure gradually disappearing into the distance.
…………
Qin Yu had been waiting outside. When he saw Ji Zhinan come out, he immediately went up to her and said, "Miss Ji."
Ji Zhinan turned and glanced at him, then continued walking.
Following beside her, Qin Yu explained, "I originally wanted to go over, but seeing Chairman Ji here, I thought my appearance might cause you unnecessary trouble..."
So he chose to stay quietly by his side.
"..." Ji Zhinan paused for a moment: "Thank you."
Qin Yu's concerns were not unfounded. He could handle this small matter himself, but if Qin Yu had appeared just now, it would have made the whole thing more than twice as complicated.
