The old man was really worried that his eldest granddaughter might get burned like this because he didn't know who she had offended. He was afraid that his younger granddaughter would also get into trouble.
When Aunt Min saw Ji Zhinan, hatred flashed in her eyes.
If it weren't for the decades-long relationship between him and his wife, and her tearful plea to the chairman to let him stay, he would have been kicked out of the Ji family by the old man long ago.
All of this is because of Ji Zhinan!
Filled with hatred, her words were extremely harsh: "Second Miss, what exactly do you mean? Eldest Miss is in trouble, and you're only coming now? Do you even consider Eldest Miss your sister?!"
Ji Zhinan leaned against the wall, looking at her with a half-smile, and retorted without any politeness: "I didn't treat Ji Zhixia as my own sister because I arrived late. So, does that mean Aunt Min rushed over so quickly because she treated Ji Zhixia as her own sister?"
She glanced at Madam Ji and said leisurely, "Mom, Aunt Min is waiting for you to recognize her as your goddaughter."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Madam Ji cried, her red eyes glaring at Ji Zhinan. "You little slut, even with your sister like this, you're still so sharp-tongued! If I don't beat you to death today, I'm not worthy of being your mother!"
As she was speaking, she was about to slap Ji Zhinan in front of so many people, but her hand was slapped away by Old Master Ji.
"You just hit and curse in public like that? Do you want to embarrass the Ji family?!"
The old man shouted, making Mrs. Ji feel guilty: "Dad, I didn't."
The old man's face was extremely grim: "Nan Nan came as soon as she received the news, what more do you want?!"
“Yeah, right.” Ji Zhinan replied lazily, “I don’t have super speed or teleportation ability. Mom and Aunt Min think I’m too slow, so why don’t you two pool your money to buy me a rocket? Then I can just dash over next time Ji Zhixia needs resuscitation.”
Grandpa Ji was amused by Ji Zhinan and gave her a flick on the forehead: "You little rascal, you're so glib!"
The atmosphere outside the emergency room was already oppressive, and now it felt even colder.
Ji Zhinan felt the sharp gazes coming from all directions, but she curled her lips and didn't care at all.
Apart from her grandfather, probably no one present wanted to see her, and Ji Zhinan was well aware of this.
However, she's not so weak that she has to endure being stepped on by any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
Receiving Aunt Min's unfriendly gaze accurately, Ji Zhinan glared back without hesitation, his eyes icy, adding an extra layer of chilling pressure to the already tense atmosphere.
Aunt Min felt a deep-seated fear from Ji Zhinan's sharp gaze and silently looked away, no longer daring to meet his eyes.
Everyone was focused on Mu Zeyu and Ji Zhixia in the operating room, and no one noticed Aunt Min's expression.
——
Three hours later, Mu Zeyu and Ji Zhixia finished their surgeries one after the other. The nurses wheeled them out, both of them wearing ventilators and covered in bandages, looking quite frightening.
"Doctor, how is my son?!"
"Is my daughter alright?!"
Both sets of parents rushed forward at the same time, saying in unison.
The doctor took off his mask and said, "If they had been brought in half an hour later, we wouldn't have been able to do anything. Their lives have been saved, but there's something we need to tell you in advance: Young Master Mu and Miss Ji have very severe burns all over their bodies, and the burn wounds are quite large, which will have a significant impact on both of them."
In other words, Mu Zeyu and Ji Zhixia are ruined.
Madam Ji has no other desires now; the fact that her daughter is alive is already a blessing for her family.
