Ji Chen left without warning during a rainy season in September, leaving his brother and sister heartbroken.
Ji's mother also fell into a coma due to the sudden death of her son.
The Ji family villa was in complete chaos, but fortunately Ji Hua was sensible and calm, and quickly made arrangements for the villa.
The doctor came to the house to diagnose Ji's mother.
"Madam Ji fell into a coma due to excessive grief, but it didn't have a major impact."
Ji Hua escorted the doctor out, asking about his grandmother's condition in detail along the way.
Upon learning of Ji Chen's departure, Qin Ziming quickly made arrangements and left the company to go to the Ji family villa.
A servant reported, "Young Master, President Qin has arrived."
Ji Hua, sitting helplessly on the sofa, was stunned for a moment. When the tall, slender figure walked over, he slowly got up.
What brings you here?
"Such a big thing happened, why didn't you call us?"
Ji Hua remained silent; he was too embarrassed to speak. Although he had reunited with his biological mother, he was still too shy to admit it.
Seeing him lower his head, Qin Ziming couldn't bear to say anything more and reached out to pat the boy's thin shoulder.
“Your mother is at a military academy. I couldn’t get through to her on the phone, so she must be busy. I sent her a WeChat message, and she’ll see it when she’s done.”
Ji Hua looked up and said, "Thank you."
He didn't need to do these things originally, but he did it because he loved the house and its inhabitants.
Shen Shiyi was stunned when she saw the message after class.
Ji Chen is dead. At this moment, she doesn't know what she feels. She seems to be not too upset, probably because they haven't known each other for long.
When Ji Han'er received the call from her mother, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Mom, Dad is gone." She no longer had a father.
Ji Chen was dragged into the crematorium, and as the door closed, Ji's mother fainted again from crying.
At the funeral, Shen Shiyi asked the school for three days off.
The atmosphere at the scene was somber as Shen Jiarou approached the crowd, holding chrysanthemums.
Upon seeing the portrait, Shen Shiyi expressionlessly put down the chrysanthemums.
Ji Han'er and his mother were burning paper money, while Ji Hua and Qin Ziming were entertaining guests.
Ji Han'er cried bitterly, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of black trouser legs. She looked up and saw her mother's familiar, gentle face.
The girl's crying was so moving that Shen Shiyi was embraced.
"Mom, I no longer...have a dad."
Shen Shiyi didn't know how to comfort her daughter, so she reached out and patted her back to comfort her.
Qin Ziming and Ji Hua both saw what was happening and watched the two embracing quietly.
This scene also moved those who came to attend the funeral.
Half a month after Ji Chen's death, the Ji Group ran into trouble.
Upon learning this, Qin Ziming asked his uncle to manage the group for a period of time, as he needed to rush to City A to help Ji Hua with his affairs.
When he arrived at the Ji Group, the lobby on the first floor was in chaos, with multiple media outlets present.
"What are the Ji Group's next plans?"
Questions such as "Who will take over the Ji Group in the future?" were asked.
Ji Hua watched the scene unfold with an indifferent expression, his fists clenched tightly.
"The Ji Group will be managed by a law firm until I come of age."
He still has four years until he comes of age. He just needs to be patient for another four years, and everything will gradually get back on track.
Some sharp-eyed media spotted a tall and imposing figure, and upon closer inspection, discovered it was the CEO of Suzhou City in W City.
"The president of the Su Group has arrived."
Qin Ziming walked towards Ji Hua and stopped in front of him.
"Are you alright?"
Ji Hua nodded slightly, and Qin Ziming smiled at him.
"rest assured."
"Dear friends from the media, thank you for your concern for the development of Ji's Group. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I will be temporarily serving as the chairman of Ji's Group."
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
The media outlets were abuzz with discussion: "What? The president of Suzhou Group is temporarily taking over as chairman of Ji's Group?"
When Ji Shuyu learned what had happened at his family's company, he was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.
Shen Shiyi could clearly sense that he was daydreaming in class, which was a major taboo in military academy.
"Classmates, although the autumn heat wave has arrived, we still need to stay focused and concentrate on our lessons."
Ji Shuyu understood her implied meaning and lowered his head awkwardly.
He was in deep trouble during a psychology class.
When the collateral relatives of the Ji family learned that someone was causing trouble, they all went to the Ji Group to cause trouble.
"What do you want? We have inheritance rights to this company."
"Don't touch me, or I'll sue you."
The room below was in a chaotic mess. In the reception room, Qin Ziming and Ji Hua sat facing each other.
“Your father, Ji Chen, once approached your mother and me, entrusting us to temporarily assume the position of executive chairman and help you and your sister manage the group. For the next four years, you should frequently visit various departments of the company to learn. After you turn 18, you can officially enter the group's management as the executive president.”
Ji Hua never expected that her father would make such a request and entrustment to her mother and her husband before his death.
Qin Ziming, afraid that he would overthink things, said, "Ji Hua, your mother and I have been married for many years and have known each other for a long time. You are, after all, her children. Whether it's out of love for her or not, the Su Group and I will always be your strong support. For the next four years, you only need to study, reflect, and take care of your health. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Qin Ziming's words moved Ji Hua.
All the words I wanted to say finally came out as "Thank you!"
He was never a talkative person to begin with, and in recent years, with his mother not around, he has become even more taciturn. His grandmother has worried about his personality many times.
The secretary came in to report, "Chairman, young master, there's trouble in the lobby on the first floor."
Qin Ziming looked up. "Who is it?"
The secretary looked at Ji Hua and said cautiously, "Young Master's uncles and aunts."
At this moment, Ji Hua's eyes were cold and his face was frigid.
Qin Ziming came with his lawyer this time. Hearing his secretary's words, his gentle and refined eyes smiled.
"Perfect timing, let's go meet them."
The three of them, along with their bodyguards, descended the stairs in a grand procession.
The security guards on the first floor had been instructed by their superiors not to allow anyone outside the group to enter.
When Qin Ziming and his group arrived, there were many media outlets at the group's entrance, and Qin Ziming was exhausted from looking at them.
"These people are living too comfortably; we need to add some fun for them."
The secretary standing next to him felt inexplicably cold upon hearing this.
Qin Ziming and Ji Hua are both tall, and even though the secretary was wearing high heels and standing behind them, she was still a head shorter than them.
"Chairman Qin is here, and Young Master Ji is here too."
The bodyguards surrounded the three people in the middle, blocking others on both sides.
"Dear friends from the media..." Qin Ziming's words were suddenly interrupted.
"He's just an outsider who's trying to seize our Ji family's property."
Ji Hua searched for the voice of the person who had come, and when he saw the excited man trying to sow discord, he sneered silently.
Qin Ziming, who was being scolded, was not annoyed. He glanced at his lawyer out of the corner of his eye and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since some people are dissatisfied and our media friends are so concerned about the Ji Group, we have no choice but to publish Mr. Ji Chen's will, which is notarized."
Upon hearing this, everyone started discussing it, and the other members of the Ji family immediately sensed something was wrong.
