The Hu family and the Ji family have officially broken ties. Speaking of which, Hu Ruixue was raised by Ji's mother, yet she was willing to commit marriage fraud for her son.
"I will never forgive them, no matter what." Thinking of the harm Xiaoxue suffered, Hu's mother trembled with anger. "She said she didn't know her son had problems. Who is she trying to fool? How could a mother not know her son's health condition? He was sent abroad before graduating from high school, and this is what happened. How dare she come to propose marriage? How can she live with herself?"
Hu's mother and Ji's mother have been friends for many years, often going out for meals, shopping, and beauty treatments. Now she feels like she was blind.
The person who came to act as a mediator was a wealthy woman in her forties. Her family was related to both families, and they usually interacted more with the Ji family. Ji's mother had asked to come to their house several times, and they could no longer refuse, so they came here to act as mediators.
To be honest, she didn't want to come. A grown man who couldn't win her over resorted to kidnapping and rape? And then wanted to commit suicide with her? What is this if not insane? They're all afraid to stay in Nancheng.
She only helps pass on messages and won't say a single kind word, otherwise she's afraid she'll go to hell after she dies.
"It's not that the Ji family won't punish him, but they want to avoid Xishan Hospital. They want to send him to a sanatorium abroad to ensure he never returns to China." The wealthy woman didn't see Hu Ruixue and didn't dare to ask. "In addition, the Ji family will offer Ruixue a generous gift as an apology. All of Ji Fansheng's real estate in China will belong to Ruixue, plus 10% of the Ji family's shares."
Xishan Hospital is a well-known mental hospital with excellent facilities, but what parent would want their child to go there? Especially since it's located in Nancheng; if everyone knew their Ji family's son was in Xishan Hospital and was mentally ill, the Ji family would be utterly disgraced.
Find an excuse to go abroad, then stay in a sanatorium for a while. Once Ji Fansheng's mental state improves, let him recuperate at the manor as before. This would benefit the Ji family's reputation, and also, sanatoriums abroad are much more humane than those in China.
Mr. and Mrs. Ji consulted many experts who said that delusional disorder is not a serious mental illness and that with proper management, their son could live a normal life. However, after going to Xishan Hospital, they were very afraid that their son had really gone mad.
“Sorry, I prefer to keep all dangers under my watchful eye. I don’t feel comfortable leaving him abroad. I’m already being lenient by not sending him to Anshan Hospital.” Hu Ruiyang narrowed his eyes. He wanted nothing more than to kill that beast; how could he possibly let him go?
Hearing Hu Ruiyang mention Anshan Hospital, the rich woman shuddered. That place was a hospital for severely mentally ill patients, and it was normal for several people to die there every year. The police wouldn't care, mainly because those people really couldn't be called human. Ji Fansheng at least looked normal; if he went to that place, he would be crippled even if he didn't die.
"Then I'll go back and tell them." The wealthy woman didn't linger, grabbed her bag, and left.
"You've ruined my Xiaoxue and you still want to run off abroad and live a carefree life? No way." Mrs. Hu took a sip. Don't think she didn't know the Ji family's plan. They wanted to lay low before releasing her. Dream on. Every family loves its own child. Her daughter suffered so much; how could a little money make up for it? The Hu family didn't care about those few stinking coins.
The Ji family is not what it used to be, and Ji Fansheng made a huge mistake this time. Ji's parents asked everyone who could help, but they all politely declined. The two sat on the sofa with worried faces and sighed.
“I told you long ago not to let him come back to China. What happened?” Father Ji slammed his hand on the table. “You let him come back as soon as he begged you, and now look what’s happened. The Hu family will definitely not let this go.”
Mother Ji covered her face and cried, “I spent more than half a month abroad with Xiao Fan this year. He behaved very well and did not have any relapses, so I agreed to bring him back. He has been back for so long and has not asked about Rui Xue. I thought he was really cured. Later, he told me that Rui Xue got divorced and he wanted to marry her. I thought that maybe if they got married, Xiao Fan’s illness would be completely cured.”
Which parent would want to admit that their child has a mental illness? Seeing Ji Fansheng's behavior, Ji's mother could only feel happy.
When Ji Fansheng was 15, his mother noticed he often talked to himself, sometimes even hugging a wisp of air and laughing and talking. This terrified her. She secretly asked a doctor and learned that her son had delusional disorder—he imagined a person and lived with him day and night. She couldn't understand it. She and her husband were both healthy, and her son had always been bright and intelligent; how could he have a mental illness?
His condition worsened, and he even wanted to introduce her to his friends. Mrs. Ji was terrified and finally told Mr. Ji about Ji Fansheng's condition. According to their observations, Ji Fansheng's object of his delusions was actually Hu Ruixue. The reason he fell ill at 15 was because he confessed his feelings to Hu Ruixue, and she rejected him. To be honest, Mrs. Ji harbored some resentment towards Hu Ruixue at the time, feeling that if it weren't for her, Ji Fansheng wouldn't have gotten sick.
He was sick, and fearing that people would find out if he sought medical treatment in China, Ji's father made the decisive decision to send Ji Fansheng abroad.
Ji Fansheng had been abroad for years, and through psychotherapy, he gradually improved. Little did he know that it was all an illusion; he wasn't cured, but rather his acting skills had become exceptional.
“We absolutely cannot go to Xishan Hospital. If we go there, Xiao Fan will be finished, and the reputation of our Ji family will be ruined.” Ji’s mother shook her head and cried while holding Ji’s father’s hand.
"Now you know? We've reached out to all the connections we could, but they either pretended not to understand or simply made excuses. Now, only the Sun family can help." Father Ji paced back and forth.
"The Sun family probably hates Xiao Fan even more than the Hu family. How could they possibly help him?"
“Xiao Fan is Angela’s father, after all. They don’t want Angela to have a mentally ill father. It would be embarrassing for them if word got out. Sending Xiao Fan abroad is good for them too. I’m warning you, he absolutely cannot be allowed to come back after he leaves this time. No matter if he goes on a hunger strike or commits suicide, he is not allowed to come back.”
"Absolutely, I will never let him come back this time." Mother Ji nodded firmly.
Father Ji sighed, as if he had aged more than 10 years in an instant, and brought generous gifts to the Sun family.
When he arrived at the Sun family's house, he couldn't even get in the door. He waited outside for more than an hour without any response. He knew that the Sun family hated Xiao Fan, but they had a child together. Didn't they care about any feelings for each other?
He took out a document from his pocket and asked the gatekeeper to give it to the Sun family. It was a share transfer agreement. As long as they were willing to help Ji Fansheng go abroad, Sun Qian could get 20% of Ji's shares.
Angela is Sun Qian and Xiao Fan's child, which means she is the granddaughter of the Ji family. Giving Sun Qian shares is equivalent to giving the child shares, so he doesn't feel bad about taking them.
After waiting another half hour, Sun Qian came out with the documents, returned them to Ji's father, and said with a slight smile, "When I was pregnant, Ji Fansheng left without a word. Aunt Ji knew we were together, but she wouldn't answer my calls. Hehe... This child has nothing to do with the Ji family. She's registered under my older brother's household registration; she's my older brother's daughter. Please make that clear. Hu Ruixue has always been the apple of the Hu family's eye. If they hadn't rescued her in time, she might not even be alive. If it were you, would you forgive the murderer who tried to kill your child? Uncle Sun, please go back. Putting aside our past grievances, even without this whole mess between Ji Fansheng and me, the Sun family wouldn't have helped. My parents are afraid of being gossiped about."
The Sun family was unwilling to help, and Ji's father couldn't find anyone else, so he could only let Ji Fansheng stay at Xishan Hospital for a while, and then find a way to send him abroad after the Hu family calmed down.
Because of Ji Fansheng, the Ji family has suffered a major blow this time, mainly due to the suppression from the Hu and Wang families. The Wang family is Hu Ruixue's maternal grandparents' family and holds a pivotal position in the political arena of Nancheng. It is because of the Wang family that Ji's father was unable to send his child abroad.
Hu Ruiyang was unaware of Ji's father's thoughts. If he had known, he would have definitely told him that the Hu family could never forgive Ji Fansheng.
With the help of a psychologist and her family, Hu Ruixue slowly recovered, but she lost a lot of weight. Shu Yan felt sorry for her, let alone her parents.
"This incident also has its advantages. My parents will definitely stop talking to me about finding a man in the future, hahaha," Hu Ruixue laughed.
Shu Yan rolled her eyes at her, looked at the security guard at the door, and whispered, "Isn't it unnecessary inside the company?"
The two men standing outside like guardian deities would surely frighten any customer who came in.
Hu Ruixue glanced at it and said, "No, I think it's fine."
She felt at ease mainly because Roger was there.
Shu Yan followed her gaze and saw Roger, the security captain who had saved Hu Ruixue last time. He joined the army a few years later than Fang Zeyu. At that time, Fang Zeyu was an instructor. After being injured, he returned to his hometown. He was originally assigned a job, but his father was seriously ill, so he did not take the job and used the money to pay for his father's medical treatment. Although he eventually passed away, he did not regret it.
Fang Zeyu told her this, and she then told Hu Ruixue.
"Gratitude and liking are different, don't confuse them," Shu Yan reminded her.
Hu Ruixue glanced at Shu Yan, then lowered her head. "I know, I'm aware of this, don't worry."
She and Roger are from completely different worlds. Of course, after this incident, the Hu family might not interfere in Hu Ruixue's love life. If she really gets together with Roger, her parents might even agree.
That noon, after Shu Yan finished her meeting and returned to her office, Jiang Pei told her that someone named Chen Fei was looking for her.
Chen Fei? It must be Zhang Huaxiu looking for her, right? Is she about to give birth?
