Finally, Ji Jianhua and his sister went out to eat. As it was past noon and almost time for dinner, they bought some snacks on the roadside to fill their stomachs.

Along the way, Ji Jianhua talked about buying the venue, "Mom said that the money is enough, and if the venue cannot be returned, then keep it. I did this impulsively, and you have been wronged."

"Brother, it's all over. Besides, it's not your fault. It's because Mom has always disliked me, and it's because of my formula that made you sell your job. It's normal for her to vent her anger on me." After thinking about some things, Ji Ling felt relieved. "Brother, please pay more attention to Dad at home in the future."

Ji Jianhua heard something wrong and paused, "Okay."

Although his sister didn't say it directly, Ji Jianhua understood it. He was in a depressed mood and couldn't muster up any energy all the way to the hospital.

Watching Xu Wangting walking quickly into the ward from afar, Ji Jianhua asked suspiciously, "Is there something urgent going on, uncle? Let's hurry up too."

Ji Ling knew what her uncle was in a hurry to do in the ward, and now that he had decided to go to the Zhu family's house, she did not stop Ji Jianhua. However, when the brother and sister arrived at the door of the ward, before they could push the door open, they heard a quarrel coming from inside.

"Ten thousand yuan? This is the admission letter from Peking University. Is this all they gave?"

"They only give so much for Peking University's admission letter. Moreover, even after buying the admission letter, their family can't let anyone go to Peking University. After all, Ji Ling is the top scorer in the college entrance examination. They are afraid of being discovered, so they have to downgrade to another school." Xu Wangting was calmer at this time. "Don't get excited yet. I have also told them that this price is not acceptable. I will go and ask them and then give them an answer. They left a loophole. If you don't agree now, I will go and talk to them now."

With a bang, the door was pushed open. Ji Jianhua stood at the door with a gloomy face. "Don't tell me. My family doesn't agree. Even if my dad knew, he wouldn't agree."

Ji Jianhua looked straight at Xu Fang, feeling pain and disappointment, "Mom, how could you do this to Xiaoling? You've gone too far."

Xu Fang's body was trembling slightly. She didn't dare to face her son. When her eyes swept to Ji Ling, she glared at her son angrily. The words she said in a calm voice made people feel cold all over. "Ji Jianhua, I know very well what I am doing. Your father is lying on the hospital bed and his life or death is unknown. If you have anything to say, wait until your father wakes up before talking."

"No, I want to say it now." Ji Jianhua's voice was shaking with anger. "Mom, my dad is like this now, we are all worried, but Xiaoling's notice cannot be sold, even if I go to sell blood."

Xu Wangting was embarrassed. This kind of thing was shameful to begin with, and now that he was bumped into by two children, he, as an uncle, couldn't take care of it. What if the news got out? He couldn't explain it to his family.

Thinking of his own interests, Xu Wangting said seriously, "Xu Fang, the child is right. We are both confused about this matter. We can't ruin Xiaoling's future because of anxiety. We will think of a way to deal with the money issue later. You should also listen to the children's ideas. I will go back now to see if I can borrow some money from somewhere else."

Although he spoke beautifully, Xu Wangting felt guilty and did not dare to look at his nephew and niece, and walked away quickly.

There were only three people in the ward, a mother and her two children.

Xu Fang looked at Ji Ling coldly, "Are you satisfied this time?"

Ji Jianhua's eyes widened in disbelief, "Mom."

How can you be so righteous when you steal Xiaoling's things and exchange them for money?

Xu Fang said, "I can do anything now. As long as I can save your father, I don't care if you scold me or hate me."

"Then sell your job, my dad's job, and Ji Ke's college acceptance letter." Ji Ling said calmly.

Xu Fang's eyes widened sharply, "Your promise from the beginning was fake, and you have been waiting to say this, right?"

Ji Ling, "I'm not that cunning. Just now you said that you can give up everything. You both have formal jobs in our family, and you have two university admission letters. If we sell them together, the money will definitely be enough."

Xu Fang, "Ji Ling, you just want to go against me, right?"

"Mom." Ji Jianhua almost begged, hoping Xu Fang would stop talking.

Mom is so partial to this extent that anyone can tell. Does she really want Xiaoling to hate her forever? Xu Fang gritted her teeth and said, "Your dad got into trouble because of you."

Ji Ling already had the answer in her mind, but she was determined to ask it in person. Now that she understood, she didn't want to argue anymore. "As long as I pay for the surgery, I'll pay off all my debts, and you won't care what I do in the future. That's what you said at the beginning, and I've always remembered it. I'll go and get the surgery money these few days in exchange for my freedom and future."

After saying this, Ji Ling turned around and left without any reluctance.

In the ward, Ji Jianhua stared blankly at his mother who turned away with an indifferent expression. He opened his mouth, wanting to say a thousand words, but did not want to say a single word. He turned around and left weakly.

Ji Ling was no longer in the corridor.

The anger and sorrow in Ji Jianhua's heart turned into a raging fire. He rushed out of the hospital and headed straight for the compound where the Xu family lived.

In the hospital's inpatient department.

While she and Zhu Weidong were the only ones in the ward, Old Lady Zhu held her grandson's hand and said, "Weidong, you are 28 years old. Your grandfather became a father at the age of 20, and your father had you at the age of 22. Grandma is 70 years old and I don't know how long I can live. Now my only wish is to see you get married and start a family. Tell grandma the truth, do you want to delay getting married until now, or do you have someone you like and have been waiting for him/her?"

Zhu Weidong didn't say anything.

He has a cold personality and is devoted to his work, so he has no time to interact with women. If he really resists getting married, he would not accept the more than ten blind dates arranged by his family every year.

"There are no outsiders here. Tell grandma the truth. Don't let her die with regrets."

Even death was mentioned.

Zhu Weidong's expression remained unchanged, his brows slightly wrinkled, and he said, "Neither."

Old Mrs. Zhu patted her chest and looked at her grandson with hope. "It's good that it's not. It's good that it's not. Then what do you think of Ji Ling? How about arranging a blind date for you two?"

Zhu Weidong didn't say anything.

Old Mrs. Zhu sniffed and choked up, "If you don't want to, then don't. It's grandma's fault. You're buried up to your neck in the earth, and you're forced to do something you don't like. You don't have to force yourself."

Zhu Weidong's attractive peach blossom eyes were as cold as usual, "Okay."

Mrs. Zhu, who was still sad a second ago, suddenly had a big smile on her face. "Then tomorrow, tomorrow."

Zhu Weidong: Even though he knew his grandma was acting, he still couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

However, important life events cannot be delayed any longer.
