“Dad, Xiaxia is indeed a bit willful, but she is still a child of the Ji family. The Ji and Mu families finally managed to appease the media through a marriage alliance, but now you have sent Xiaxia to a mental hospital. If the media finds out that Xiaxia is in a place like that, what will the Mu family think? How are we going to explain it?”
Every word Ji Pengfei spoke was tinged with resentment towards the old man.
The old man looked at the angry couple and asked, "Have you said enough?"
"..."
“If I don’t send her there, and the media finds out that Miss Ji has been rude and insulting to the nanny who takes care of her, and even beats and scolds her at the drop of a hat, we will be in the wrong!”
"This..." Madam Ji choked for a moment, instinctively protecting her daughter: "Xiaxia is still young, she's just a child, what could she know? And that damned nanny, she took so much money from our family and still dared to bite Xiaxia..."
Mrs. Ji blamed everything on the nanny.
"Enough!" The old man was in no mood to argue with them. "Ji Zhixia is emotionally unstable right now. It's good for her to calm down there."
The old man stood up and prepared to go upstairs.
"Dad!" Mrs. Ji called out unwillingly, but the old man ignored her completely.
Ji Zhinan had just come downstairs when she saw the old man preparing to come up. She called out "Grandpa" and obediently helped the old man, whose face did not look too good, upstairs.
As soon as the grandfather and grandson left, Madam Ji went berserk and started punching Ji Pengfei in the chest.
"Look at your dad, in his heart a wild child he picked up will always be more important than his own granddaughter! Ji Pengfei, let me tell you, I only have one daughter. If something happens to my daughter in the mental hospital, Ji Zhinan won't get away with it either. I'll strangle that little bitch, and nobody will be safe!"
Ji Pengfei's face was dark. He was already having a terrible headache because of things at the company, and now he had a mess to deal with at home.
He rubbed his temples, his head aching, and said with a hint of impatience, "I'll find out which hospital Xiaxia is in, and then I'll bring her back."
...
Mrs. Ji returned to her room in a huff. She sat down at her dressing table, feeling increasingly aggrieved. She reached out and threw the expensive moisturizing lotion on the floor.
The glass bottle shattered with a "bang," shards flying everywhere.
Aunt Min brought in ginseng soup and, seeing the furious Madam Ji, closed the door.
"Madam, please don't upset yourself!"
Mrs. Ji was even angrier and smashed another bottle of essence.
Seeing that the essence worth tens of thousands of yuan had become garbage, Aunt Min's heart was broken.
"It must be Ji Zhinan!" Madam Ji gritted her teeth. "It must have been that bitch who whispered in the old man's ear, causing him to lock Xiaxia up in a mental hospital. My poor daughter has been tricked by that vicious bitch!"
Aunt Min also disliked Ji Zhinan and immediately chimed in, "I've heard that too. Before the old master was going to send the young lady to the mental hospital, it was that bitch Ji Zhinan who went with him to the hospital. I don't know what trick that little slut used to make the old master misunderstand the young lady!"
"Ji Zhinan!" Madam Ji cried out the name in anger, "I raised her for so many years, and she turned out to be a beast who bites my daughter! A heartless wretch!"
"Madam, please don't be angry." Aunt Min quickly comforted her, "The most important thing now is to rescue Miss Ji. Aunt Min can see what Ji Zhinan is up to. She has her eyes on our Ji family, so she's trying every means to frame Miss Ji in order to oust her and take over as chairman..."
