Fortunately, Ji Yuchuan didn't say anything else and picked up the mouse to get back to work.
Su Man looked at his pale and bloodless face and reminded him, "You have just recovered, so you can't overwork yourself."
"Yes, thank you."
Ji Yuchuan finished reading a document and then opened a form, with no intention of stopping.
After all, he is an adult, so Su Man couldn't really give him instructions. She could only pray that he was in good health and help her complete the task.

"What? Big brother's condition has worsened?"
When Ji Chen heard the news, he almost jumped three feet high, and his face was full of joy.
Ji Ruhai nodded. After all, he was Ji Yuchuan's biological father. He did not show too much joy, but a sense of ease and comfort appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"If those stubborn old men of the Ji family knew this news, they would definitely abandon their evil ways and join our side. We must take this opportunity to seize the Ji family."
After hearing Ji Ruhai's ambitious words, Ji Chen hesitated. "Will those old foxes believe it? Big Brother woke up in front of those senior executives before. I'm afraid they won't believe us so easily now."
He said this because, firstly, he was worried that he would be disappointed again, and secondly, he was afraid that if he showed off too much now, Ji Yuchuan would come to settle the score with him in the future and he would not be able to bear it.
Seeing Ji Chen's timid look, Ji Ruhai looked down on him somewhat. But it was precisely because of this that he liked Ji Chen more.
Ji Yuchuan usually acts like his father, always bossing his father around. He never gives his father any face in the company and often humiliates him.
Comparing the two, Ji Chen is more obedient and more like a son.
Thinking of this, Ji Ruhai became more patient. "Of course, we can't tell them directly, but we can hold a dinner party for them to see for themselves. We can use Yuchuan's recovery as an excuse to invite all the major families in the capital, including the senior staff of the Ji family."
"This is too grand."
Ji Chen felt a little unbalanced. When he was first adopted into the Ji family, he only invited people he knew to a small gathering.
Ji Yuchuan's condition had only improved, but he made such a big fuss about it.
In comparison, his family recognition banquet was so shabby.
Ji Chen was jealous but didn't want to say it out loud, so he said tactfully, "Right now, Big Brother and we are on two different sides. You invited so many people here. What if he takes the opportunity to win us over?"
Ji Ruhai sneered, "That would require him to have the strength to win him over. Didn't you hear what your mother said? Ji Yuchuan is now like a dead tree, and he could fall into a deep sleep again at any time. When the other wealthy families see how weak he is, they will have new considerations."
Ji Chen understood and flattered, "Dad, you are so shrewd. I believe that when those people see Ji Yuchuan now, they won't even have time to hide, let alone join his team. It's just..."
He was a little worried, "What if big brother doesn't want to come?"
Ji Ruhai was full of confidence, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

The next day, just after Su Man had finished breakfast, a servant came outside to report that Ji Ruhai had arrived.
Su Man said casually, "I see."
After a while, Ji Ruhai came in and saw Su Man eating fruit on the sofa, with no intention of even standing up. He was very angry.
Ji Ruhai said coldly, "My father-in-law is here. As a daughter-in-law, I should go outside to greet him. But you didn't go. Even though I'm here, you're still sitting there eating fruit. Do you even know what filial piety is?"
Su Man took a sip of juice and said with a half-smile, "So you came here today just to teach me how to be a good wife?"
Without getting Ji Ruhai's answer, Su Man stood up and patted her clothes. "Okay, since you insist on attending class, then I'll take the trouble to listen. Let's go to the study room? There's more atmosphere there."
"you!"
Ji Ruhai knew that he could not gain any advantage in the argument with Su Man, so he threw his hands and scolded, "I am busy managing the Ji family every day, so I don't have the time to care about you. I came to visit Yuchuan, so get out of my way."
"Come and see Yuchuan."
Su Man folded her arms and did not move. "You said you came at such an unfortunate time. Yu Chuan hasn't gotten up yet. You should sit down and wait."
"Ridiculous!" Ji Ruhai was furious. "I'm his father. How can a father wait for his son? Go wake him up."
Su Man was happy, "Oh, you still know that you are Yuchuan's father, I thought you forgot."
"Jin Man! Don't think I won't touch you just because Yu Chuan is on your side. I'm telling you, if I crush you to death, it'll be as easy as crushing an ant!"
"Oh, that's amazing. Do we need a round of applause?"
Su Man didn't wait for him to answer and started clapping. While clapping, she also praised him, "What should I praise you for? Bullying the weak? Even though you are old, your heart is still young?"
Ji Ruhai was so angry at Su Man that he would have strangled her to death if Ji Yuchuan had not acknowledged Su Man's identity.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Man estimated that Ji Yuchuan inside should have heard the noise and was ready, so she said leisurely, "Okay, since you really want to see Yuchuan, I'll go in and help you see if he's awake."
Su Man went upstairs and saw the servant at the bedroom door nodding to her. Then she whistled to Ji Ruhai downstairs, "Come up."
Hearing her tone of voice that was like teasing a dog, Ji Ruhai's eyes went dark.
He wanted to leave in anger, but he had not yet found out about Ji Yuchuan's physical condition, so he had to grit his teeth and go upstairs, almost breaking the stairs with his feet.

When Ji Ruhai entered the room, his face was darker than the bottom of a pot, but when he saw Ji Yuchuan, whose face was pale on the hospital bed, his attention was immediately diverted.
"Yuchuan, how are you?"
Ji Yuchuan's face was pale. He forced himself to maintain a decent sitting posture, "I'm fine."
Ji Ruhai looked at Ji Yuchuan and felt that he was just trying to show off.
It seems that Chen Yarong's information was correct, Ji Yuchuan is really going to die.
He pretended not to see Ji Yuchuan's sick face and suggested, "Since everything is fine, I plan to hold a banquet, firstly to tell everyone the good news that you woke up, and secondly to celebrate your birthday."
"banquet?"
"yes."
Ji Ruhai acted like an elder again, "Look, during the time you were sick, many noble families came to visit you. Now that you've recovered, we should also treat them well. We can't lose our manners."
Ji Yuchuan frowned, "It's too early now, let's wait for a while."
"Oh, that won't do."
The more Ji Yuchuan refused, the more excited Ji Ruhai became.
"I heard you've recovered. Many of my friends want to see you. I think we should do it this weekend. By then you'll be almost able to walk again."
What Ji Ruhai said was pure nonsense. There were only two days left until the weekend.
After two days, Ji Yuchuan was able to get out of bed in a wheelchair, let alone walk.
The goal was achieved, Ji Ruhai stood up and said, "Okay, you can have a good rest."
