As Ji Zhinan spoke, he became completely absorbed in his emotions, and tears streamed down his face.
She bit her lower lip, trying to be strong. She turned her head away and quickly wiped away her tears, tilting her head slightly to stop them from falling.
Ji Zhinan's vulnerable appearance is heartbreaking.
"Xiaxia!" The old man's tone became harsher as Ji Zhixia's words became increasingly outrageous: "Grandpa knows you don't like Nannan, but this is no joke. You can't pin baseless accusations on Nannan!"
“Zeyu was also involved in the incident with you. How could Nannan, with her small frame, possibly kidnap Mu Zeyu, a grown man?”
Ji Zhixia's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief: "Grandpa, you don't believe me?"
Old Master Ji said with a stern face, "Your emotions are unstable right now, and you probably don't even know what you're saying. You should rest first, and we'll talk about this later."
Ji Zhinan was sobbing softly beside him.
Mrs. Ji felt extremely uncomfortable seeing the old man talking about her Ji Zhixia on behalf of Ji Zhinan, and she said with a sob, "Dad, if Ji Zhinan is really innocent, why is Xiaxia so fixated on her? I think Ji Zhinan must have done something wrong; she's just shedding crocodile tears!"
"Mom... I know you love my sister more than you do, but I'm your biological daughter too," Ji Zhinan cried, questioning, "Why don't you believe me..."
The old man's expression changed slightly, and his cold gaze fell on Madam Ji.
Every child has a loving mother. When Ji Zhixia got into trouble, Madam Ji, as her biological mother, naturally believed her unconditionally and without reason.
"Xiuqin," the old man's tone became much heavier, "Nannan and Xiaxia are both children of the Ji family!"
The old man was giving Madam Ji a reminder.
Madam Ji naturally understood, but even though she was unhappy, she didn't dare to show it on the surface. She just shouted, "Xiaxia has been bullied. Pengfei and I will never let this go easily. We will find the culprit who hurt Xiaxia and make her pay a heavy price!"
Ji Zhinan sniffed: "I stayed at home for the two days when my sister had the accident. If Dad and Mom don't believe me, they can go and check."
Ji Zhinan reminded her that there were security cameras in the Ji family mansion.
"Yes, Dad!" she shouted excitedly, "We have security cameras in our house. Once we check them, the whole truth will come out!"
Grandpa Ji nodded: "I will send someone to retrieve the surveillance footage immediately."
Ji Zhixia disappeared the day before the incident. If Ji Zhinan was at home when Ji Zhixia had the incident, it would prove Ji Zhinan's innocence.
The surveillance footage could clear the granddaughter of suspicion; even without Mrs. Ji's prompting, Mr. Ji would have investigated it thoroughly.
Ji Zhixia was like a madwoman, lying on the hospital bed shouting and yelling, cursing Ji Zhinan with foul language. When she was emotionally agitated, she struggled desperately, and neither Ji Pengfei nor his wife could hold her down.
Ji Zhinan stood there looking pitiful. The old man felt sorry for his granddaughter and, to take care of Ji Zhixia's feelings, let Ji Zhinan leave first.
Finally, there was no other way but to call the doctor. The doctor gave her a sedative injection, and Ji Zhixia slowly fell asleep.
Mrs. Ji was worried about her daughter and asked the doctor with concern, "My daughter has just woken up. Will the sedatives be bad for her health?"
The doctor repeated his answer many times, his face full of helplessness: "Madam, please rest assured, our sedatives have no side effects. Miss Ji is currently emotionally unstable, so it's good that she's been given a sedative."
