After they had finished their meal, Ji Ling was called away by Zhu Yaowu, who asked her to go there in person to figure out what needed to be done in the kitchen.

After Ji Jianhua returned to the hospital, Xu Fang asked her son to stay with her husband while she went to a nearby bathhouse to take a bath.

For more than half a month, Xu Fang has been staying by her husband's side day and night, and has not had the time to pay attention to other things. Now that her husband is getting better day by day, she can breathe a sigh of relief.

There were no outsiders in the ward, so Ji Jianhua told her about the factory. "My mother meant that the money would be Ji Ke's shares."

Ji Yong nodded and asked his son, "What do you think about this?"

"I don't know either." Ji Jianhua "I used to be disgusted with my mother for doing this, but after hearing what she said, I felt that my mother was not wrong, but I always felt sorry for Xiaoling."

Ji Yong looked at his son and said, "Jianhua, you should find a way to turn the factory's funds around. The family's money has other uses. As for what your mother said about Ji Ke investing in the company, just pretend you didn't hear about it. I will find a chance to explain the matter to your mother."

Ji Jianhua raised his head.

There was nothing his father said to blame him, but the way he handled things had already judged his choice.

"Dad, did I do something wrong? No matter what my mom said, I shouldn't have agreed?" Did he also hurt Xiaoling's heart?

"Don't worry, Xiaoling won't blame you. She is more generous than men. It's her family that has let her down." Ji Yong's voice slowed down when he mentioned his daughter. "The surgery fee cannot be paid by the Zhu family. Your sister needs to be able to stand up straight in the Zhu family in the future."

"Okay, your mother and I will take care of these things, so don't worry about it. Since you want to start your own business, then focus on it and postpone marriage for two years. Build your career first and then start a family."

Ji Jianhua nodded vigorously, "Dad, I'll remember that."

The conversation between father and son was not known to outsiders.

In the next few days, Ji Yong was able to get out of bed and walk for a while every day, and his complexion looked much better.

When the Ji family members are together, laughter can also be heard.

On the Zhu family's side, Kong Siya had always wanted to take advantage of the Ji family's return to have a meeting between the two families. Her thoughts were all shown on her face, but was stopped by Zhu Yaowu.

"Mom, the Ji family relied on our family for the surgery. If you meet them now, they can't hold their heads up in front of us. You should take it slow."

Kong Siya nodded, "You are right."

Then he asked, "Your father called and asked you to go back with the Ji family. Your grandmother refused to come back and wanted to stay there to take care of your eldest brother."

Zhu Yaowu had no objection.

As a result, he was startled by the words that followed.

"Wait until your eldest brother comes back at the end of the year to have the wedding, and then you can go back to school after the New Year."

"go to school?"

"You are on leave from school and haven't graduated yet. You haven't forgotten, have you?" Kong Siya looked at her son with a look that said, "If you dare to say it, I'll tell you, dad."

Zhu Yaowu opened his mouth and said, "I know."

"Okay, there's another meeting at the hospital this afternoon, so I'll be back later. Don't forget to give Xiaoling the soup I made."

"Mom, it's so hard"

"Bitterness can reduce heat. She's very angry now. What if she gets herself sick? I'm willing to make bitter soup for her despite my wicked mother-in-law. It's all for her." Kong Siya reminded her son before leaving, "By the way, drink a bowl too. I see you've been getting angry these days."

Zhu Yaowu: He is too rude.

In the hospital ward, Ji Yong was also asking his wife, "How much money do you have on you now?"

"Give Jianhua five hundred and ask him to buy some gifts for us to take back."

Xu Fang had no objection and took out five hundred and handed it to her son, "Go ahead, pick the good ones, don't save money."

Ji Jianhua took the money and left.

Afterwards, when it was just the couple, Ji Yong said, "You mentioned the matter of investing in Jianhua Factory, but that's not going to work."

Xu Fang lowered her eyes and didn't respond.

"If these things hadn't happened, I wouldn't object. Back then, the quarrel at home ended up like this because of Jianhua selling his job. It's not nice for us to be thinking about the children's things. As for Xiaoke, she wouldn't have any objection even if she knew."

"I'm not greedy for the money, I just want to save enough for Xiaoke's surgery."

"I'll find a way to pay for the surgery. At most, I can do more business at the factory and earn more dividends. Don't transfer all the burden we have to bear to the child." Ji Yong looked at his wife. "You have been hiding Xiaoke's illness. Is there any other reason?"

Xu Fang's face turned pale, and finally she shook her head, "No."

Ji Yong could obviously see that his wife was lying, but now was not the time to dwell on it, so he thought he would talk about it after getting home.

Then, he brought up the real business, "Don't touch the money borrowed from others, go back and pay it back. Keep 500 of our 4,500, and give me the remaining 4,000."

Xu Fang looked up, "What are you going to do?"

"Give it to the Zhu family, give as much as you have first."

Xu Fang silently took out all the money again, counted out four thousand, and put it beside the bed, "When are you going to Zhu's house?"

"No need to go." Ji Yong remembered what the nurse said that day.

Zhu Weidong's mother is the dean of the hospital. These days, while the family is not at home, the young nurse came to change the medicine. Ji Yong also made some inquiries and confirmed that the person was in a meeting in the hospital this afternoon. He wanted to take this opportunity to give the money.

After hearing this, Xu Fang was stunned for a moment, "Is this person performing surgery on you?"

"Yes, they have seen you, but we don't know each other yet. Now that we have heard about you, we can't just hide and not see each other." Ji Yong held his wife's hand, "I will go to see them and thank your family."

"I'll go with you." Xu Fang thought for a moment, "Like you said, I can't hide forever."

In the past, she cared about face and self-esteem, but after her husband got into trouble, she threw everything away. Now she still talks about wanting self-esteem, which only makes it more ridiculous.

When Kong Siya came out of the conference room, she saw Ji Yong and his wife waiting outside. She was stunned for a moment and walked over quickly.

"Why are you waiting here? Just ask the nurse to tell me if there is anything. You should rest more." Kong Siya's concern was genuine, and there was no trace of disgust or arrogance in her expression.

Ji Yong had met Old Madam Zhu and the Zhu brothers, and knew that the Zhu family had good character. Now that he saw that Kong Siya, as the dean, did not show any arrogance, he felt relieved.

"President Kong, I wonder if you will..."

"I have nothing else to say. Let's go back to the ward and talk. We are not strangers, so there is no need to be so polite." Kong Siya guessed the purpose of the other party's visit when she saw that he was waiting for her.

He greeted Xu Fang in a gentle manner.

Xu Fang's tense body slowly relaxed.

I couldn't help but feel envious.
