Old Mrs. Zhu was full of confusion, but she didn't dare to ask in front of others.

Her mind was still on her grandson. She saw her grandson quietly reading a book beside her bed. He put down the book only when he saw she woke up.

"The doctor said I can't eat anything now. I have to wait until tomorrow."

Old Mrs. Zhu said she was fine. When Ji Jianhua saw that the old lady had woken up, he hurried over to thank her.

Old Mrs. Zhu smiled and said it was okay. After asking, she found out that it was Ji Ling's brother. Ji Jianhua was tactful and saw that the old lady was a little weak, so he didn't bother her any more.

Ji Ling also sat up and tried to get out of bed.

"Hurry up and lie down. You were very brave last night." Old Madam Zhu immediately stopped him and said, "It's not too late to thank you after you get better."

Seeing the little girl respond obediently, Mrs. Zhu smiled.

Afterwards, the grandparents and grandchildren from the Zhu family talked in low voices, and the atmosphere was very lively, but the Ji family brothers and sisters were unusually quiet.

Ji Jianhua had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to tell his sister. His father didn't say much, but he could guess about 70% that he must have gone to borrow money.

But what if I explained it to my sister? Would my sister understand me after I explained it to her?

Ji Yong did not wait until dinner time to come back, but found Zheng Pingshun and explained the situation. Zheng Pingshun took him home directly, took money from his wife, and the two of them went to the hospital together with his wife.

When Ji Ling met Aunt Zheng for the first time, she did not feel strange, but rather felt very friendly.

"After hearing what your father said, I couldn't sit still. I should have sent someone to tell me a message long ago." Rong Silin held Ji Ling's hand distressedly. Seeing the wound on her arm, his eyes instantly turned red. "Child, you shouldn't run around at night even if you are angry. Fortunately, nothing serious happened. What if..."

"Si Lin, Xiaoling hasn't told you about her grievances yet, so don't let the child coax you anymore." Zheng Pingshun was afraid that Xiaoling would be upset, so he hurriedly persuaded his wife not to say anything nonsense.

Rong Silin said unhappily, "Do I need to complain about the grievances the child has suffered? Look at how badly she's been hurt. Even if Xu Fang didn't come, I would have dared to ask her face to face how she is a mother. As an aunt, I can't stand it. If she doesn't want this daughter, then give her to me. I want it."

"Okay, okay. I know you feel sorry for Xiaoling." There were outsiders in the ward, and Zheng Pingshun was afraid that his good friend's family scandal would be exposed and he would lose face.

But you are overthinking it. Ji Yong doesn't care about this.

He looked at his daughter on the hospital bed with concern. After he came in, his daughter didn't look at him, not even a glance.

Before the college entrance examination, his daughter refused to take it, but the relationship between father and daughter had never been so bad. Now his daughter is really heartbroken. Last night's danger, the fright and the fight, even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could imagine how helpless and scared his daughter was.

"I'm right. How can a mother be like this? I must have a good talk with her this time. She has focused all her energy on Ji Ke over the years. Why doesn't she think about how much she cares about Xiao Ling? The child doesn't feel the mother's love when she is with her. Instead, she suffers more grievances." Rong Silin didn't care about that. He held Ji Ling's hand and said, "I'm not afraid that your mother will be angry. Auntie will help you seek justice for this matter."

Ji Ling felt warm in her heart, "Auntie, I'm fine, forget it."

"Why give up? Then ask her if she still wants you as her daughter."

This was said without reservation, and the three generations of the Zhu family, grandparents and grandchildren, heard every word.

Old Mrs. Zhu thought that a little girl must have something going on if she came out so late at night. Now she heard that she was being bullied at home, and even outsiders couldn't stand it. Even if she didn't know what she had experienced, she knew that she had suffered a lot of injustice. Thinking of this, she frowned.

Zhu Weidong hung his head.

Zhu Yaowu was much more generous and watched the fun openly. Through the gaps between the figures, his eyes met Ji Ling's and he even smiled broadly in response.

He turned around and thanked Old Mrs. Zhu for saving his life. He also took the Zhu brothers' dinner and said he would go home and cook and bring it out.

Mrs. Zhu didn't say anything polite, so Rong Silin left.

Zheng Pingshun followed his wife away.

Now it was just the father and daughter, Ji Yong sat by the bed, "Your mother is impulsive. You didn't come home last night, so she didn't sleep all night either. She wanted to go out to look for you, but I stopped her. This morning, your eldest brother heard about your accident, so we two rushed over. She must be very worried at home now."

"This time, it's your mother's fault. Dad won't let you forgive your mother. You can do what you want. No matter what you choose, Dad won't blame you." Ji Yong was exhausted after a whole day and night. "Let's put this matter aside for now. Heal your wound first."

Ji Ling lowered her eyes and didn't respond.

Ji Jianhua looked anxious, "Xiaoling, this happened because of me. I'll go talk to mom."

"No need to say anything, just leave it at that." Ji Ling knew that if she didn't say anything, she would have to face these things in the future, so it would be better to solve them once and for all today. "My mother has a prejudice against me. It's always like this. In the end, I just apologize and it's over. In fact, it's quite tiring. Anyway, I'm going to college, so it will be fine after I leave home."

As for the relationship between mother and daughter, she was not the original owner, so since there was no family bond, forget it.

She didn't say it directly, but everyone in the ward understood her choice.

Zhu Yaowu even gave Ji Ling a thumbs up when he met her gaze.

That's good, she chooses to forgive, he really looks down on her.

Although they had only met a few times, Zhu Yaowu could see that Ji Ling was not a willful person. To be able to run out to the street so late at night, she must have suffered a great injustice.

Ji Ling was brewing her emotions: She felt like she would fail at any minute.

Ji Yong could guess that his daughter would be heartbroken, and after confirming it with his own ears, he still couldn't help but feel an endless sadness rising in his heart.

His daughter has grown up over the years. Although she is still very noisy, he knows that she just wants to get the attention of him and his wife in this way. As a result, the relationship between his wife and daughter has become increasingly strained. After the college entrance examination, the relationship between mother and daughter has eased, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, it has come to this.

He calmed down and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and several men in Zhongshan suits and Western suits came in and went straight to the bedside of Old Madam Zhu. They introduced themselves as students of Old Madam Zhu, and then Old Madam Zhu was also transferred away.

All this happened so fast. It only took a few minutes for the Ji family to come back to their senses when the ward became quiet.

"This Grandma Zhu must be from a high family background," Ji Jianhua said to Ji's father.

Ji Yong nodded, "Go and find out which ward she is staying in. They said there's no need to thank her, but we can't really not thank them. I borrowed 1,000 yuan from your uncle Zheng. Send 500 yuan over later and tell her to buy some food for the old lady to replenish her body."

After telling his son, Ji Yong felt bad again and stood up, "I'd better go there myself. Go get some hot water and cool down some warm water for your sister."

The father and son went about their business, and Ji Ling was the only one left in the ward. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she saw Zhu Yaowu coming back.
