Can he say that because the term 'sister-in-law' implies that she is his wife, he was simply happy about it?
Gu Chenye was too ashamed to say it.
Just then, Gu Jiu knocked on the door and pushed the food cart sent by the Gu family into the ward.
"Dinner's ready!" Gu Chenye's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Yan Yirou.
Yan Yirou couldn't help but laugh.
She wondered again if she was being too harsh on him, otherwise why would he have the illusion that she wasn't letting him eat?
Soon, Gu Chenye received thoughtful service from his girlfriend.
Gu Chenye appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was panicking.
He decided that when Mu Zhihang came next time, he would force him to change his sister-in-law's name to his sister-in-law's name!
But Gu Chenye never expected the next one to come so soon...
???
The next morning, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.
Shangguan Wu sat in the pharmacy, drinking honey water, listening to Du Wei report on the matter.
"The police transferred Ji Xianli's case to the court last night, and the trial will begin in five days."
"At six o'clock this morning, President Mu's men broke into the hotel, knocked out the Ji family's eldest son and his wife, and put them on a helicopter to fly back to Xizhou City."
"puff--"
Shangguan Wu spat out a mouthful of honey water.
Du Wei nimbly dodged to the side and handed the tissue box to Shangguan Wu.
Shangguan Wu took a tissue and wiped her mouth.
"Ji Mingjing was also at that hotel, wasn't he? He didn't stop it?"
Logically speaking, Ji Mingjing should not have let Mu Zhihang succeed, otherwise how could the Ji family save face?
No one cared about the eldest or second branch of the Ji family; they only knew that the Ji family was the number one family in the south, on par with the Gu family. Yet, they were just packed up and driven out of the capital!
I bet some people are already saying the Ji family is inferior to the Gu family, which is shameful.
“The Ji family head rested at Miss Rong’s Hua Rong Residence last night, so he should know about the eldest branch of the family by now,” Du Wei replied.
Shangguan Wu rubbed his forehead.
She never expected that Mu Zhihang would use such a simple and brutal method to get the eldest branch of the Ji family out of the capital.
Now look what's happened, we've offended Ji Mingjing.
Before Shangguan Wu could come up with a solution, his phone suddenly rang.
It was Ji Mingjing who called.
She sighed; just what she feared had come to pass.
"Hello."
Ji Mingjing's cold voice rang out from the phone: "Shangguan Wu, I haven't offended you, have I?"
Shangguan Wu said dryly, "This is a misunderstanding."
"You think I'd believe that? Ha, you don't want to see my older brother and sister-in-law? Tell me then, what are you doing looking for Mu Zhihang, who's all brawn and no brains?"
"..."
I don't care what you think, I care what I think!
Shangguan Wu silently replied in his heart before slowly speaking: "Patriarch Ji, with your intelligent, wise, knowledgeable, and well-informed mind, you should be able to guess that I hate trouble, and therefore hate the trouble caused by the eldest branch of the Ji family. But have you resolved this in advance?"
No!
While the eldest branch of the Ji family was contacting various parties in the capital to force me to step forward, you were still enjoying your boudoir!
However, I have no right to criticize you, so I can only ask others for help. President Mu has asked me for a favor, so what's wrong with me asking him for a small help?"
Ji Mingjing was overwhelmed by her barrage of praise.
But just because he thought of it doesn't mean he has to help solve it.
He's not her bodyguard.
She also said she had no right to criticize him, so conversely, he had no right to criticize her either?
Ji Mingjing laughed in exasperation: "As expected of you, Shangguan Wu."
Shangguan Wu, though not entirely justified, replied confidently, "Thank you for the compliment."
Ji Mingjing was surprised by her shamelessness. He scoffed, "However, for the sake of the Ji family's reputation, Mu Zhihang must pay the price!"
Shangguan Wu's eyelids twitched: "Please, Patriarch Ji, don't kill him."
As long as she's still alive, she can save the person.
Ji Mingjing understood her subtext.
Speechless.
Mu Zhihang is, after all, the eldest grandson of the Mu family. Even if he doesn't care about the monk, he should at least consider the Buddha's feelings. It's impossible for him to be beaten to death.
But it's still possible to cripple someone.
Otherwise, where would the Ji family's reputation be?
This is only because not many people know about it; otherwise, Mu Zhihang would have faced Ji Mingjing's wrath.
While Ji Mingjing and Shangguan Wu were on the phone, Mu Zhihang was beaten half to death by someone who appeared out of nowhere, but he refused to go to the city center hospital because he wanted to find Gu Chenye.
During Gu Chenye's recovery, Mu Zhihang appeared next door.
Except for sleeping in his own hospital room at night, Mu Zhihang had his bodyguards carry him into Gu Chenye's hospital room during the day.
Gu Chenye was so angry that he almost transferred to another hospital!
However, he knew Mu Zhihang's nature well; if Mu Zhihang transferred to another hospital, he would inevitably follow suit, so transferring hospitals wouldn't make much sense.
Because Mu Zhihang was there, Gu Chenye's ward was very lively.
After two days of this, Yan Yirou couldn't stand it anymore and forbade Mu Zhihang from entering the ward, and only then did the world finally have some peace and quiet!
Ji Mingsheng and his wife were knocked unconscious and sent back to the Ji family, which they considered a great humiliation and vowed to demand an explanation from Ji Mingjing!
At the same time, they requested the clan elders to intervene.
The elders of the Ji family discussed and decided that Ji Liansheng and Ji Lianju would go to the capital city to visit the Gu family.
Ji Lianju was close to the eldest son's family and had long regarded Ji Xianli as the next head of the family.
If Ji Xianli is not brought back this time, his status will be lower than that of his cousin Ji Liansheng when he returns to the clan.
When the two elders of the Ji family walked out of the Imperial City International Airport.
Ji Liansheng suddenly grabbed Ji Lianju's arm, his eyes fixed on the fleeting gray shadow, his whole body trembling uncontrollably: "I think I saw that person from back then!"
Ji Lianju was confused: "What, 'that person from back then'? Are you seeing things?"
Snap!
Ji Liansheng slapped him on the head.
