As if she had known that her son would refuse, Xu Fang did not get excited and continued to persuade her son calmly.

Ji Jianhua was going crazy with this attitude, "Mom, don't mention this matter again, and don't let Xiaoling know."

"Do you think this is for my sake, and that our mother-daughter relationship can still be repaired?" Xu Fang smiled, looking at her son bitterly, "Jianhua, you are still too young. Xiaoling hates me and no longer sees me as her mother. That's why I have this idea. If there is something that can connect you, your brother-sister relationship will still be there. Otherwise, you will only drift apart in the future. Jianhua, can you think from your mother's perspective?"

Ji Jianhua was silent.

He felt that he must be crazy to find these words reasonable, but he couldn't find any words to refute them.

As an older brother, he naturally didn't want to see his two younger sisters become strangers, but if he really agreed to the conditions proposed by his mother, how would he face Xiaoling?

This time, because of his rash decision, the family has been in such a mess.

Xu Fang knew that her son was soft-hearted. Seeing that he had shown signs of softening, her voice softened a little. "Jianhua, Mommy no longer expects Xiaoling's forgiveness, and Mommy doesn't have the face to ask for her forgiveness. She's married now, and it's not my turn to manage her in the future. She married a wealthy man, and the man's family is well-off, so she can't ask her parents for help. The only thing that can bring them together now is this matter, and it's the only thing I can think of."

"Jianhua, I'm begging you. I've never begged you in my life, and I've never bowed my head to anyone. Just pretend that I'm not good enough and that I'm causing you trouble. Just agree to it." Xu Fang lowered her head and wiped her tears.

Ji Jianhua held his head and said, "Mom, please don't push me."

"Jianhua, let me ask Xiaoling. You know her character, she will definitely agree. You won't agree with me doing this, right?"

Ji Jianhua's eyes turned red. "Mom, if you ask Xiaoling about this yourself, what's the difference between that and cutting flesh off her? Aren't you afraid that Dad will blame you?"

Xu Fang looked at her husband in silence.

She knew her husband would not agree, so she took care of things before her husband woke up.

In silence, Ji Jianhua calmed down and saw through his mother's intentions. For a moment, he could not find words to describe his feelings.

He staggered back two steps, his smile uglier than crying, "Okay, I promise you, are you satisfied now?"

"Satisfied." Xu Fang didn't dare to look at her son. She was afraid of seeing his disappointed look.

Ji Jianhua said coldly, "Mom, aren't you afraid that I will hate Xiaoke because of what you did?"

Xu Fang raised her head and stared at her son without mistaking his eyes. "Xiao Ke is your sister. She did nothing wrong."

Ji Jianhua sneered, "You are right, she did nothing wrong, it is us who are wrong."

With one word "we", we have grouped him and Xiaoling together and excluded Ji Ke.

It's not that Xu Fang didn't hear it, but she didn't care about it anymore. She also believed that her son would not be so cruel. With time, all this will naturally pass.

Outside the ward, Ji Ling slowly backed away holding a thermos.

Zhu Yaowu is also beside him.

The two walked out of the inpatient department and stood in the hospital yard. Zhu Yaowu couldn't help but curse, "What the hell."

He looked at Ji Ling, "Actually, you should be happy."

Ji Ling looked at him.

Zhu Yaowu, "You didn't follow your roots, you're not blind."

Ji Ling: You know what, it’s really comforting.

"Thanks, but I'm really not unhappy. My eldest brother is in charge of the factory. It's his business to decide who to let in as shareholders. Just give me the share when the time comes. I won't care about that."

Zhu Yaowu thought to himself, "That's not what I'm talking about. Do you really not care about your mother?" But it's really hard to ask this question.

Ji Ling narrowed her eyes, "Then thank you."

She pinched his arm and slowly took it down, "Brother-in-law, call me sister-in-law from now on."

Zhu Yaowu said, "Little girl, you are not even as old as me."

"Not as old as you, but still your sister-in-law."

"Do you dare to answer my call?"

"Should I give you another treasure bottle?"

Ji Ling chuckled, amused by him, "Okay, it would be best if I could accept yours."

"Okay, let's go back." Zhu Yaowu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her smile.

The two of them went in with a smile, and two figures walked out from behind a tree not far away. They were two young women, about the same age as Ji Ling, but they were dressed brightly and fashionably. They both wore black leather shoes, and it was obvious that they came from wealthy families.

"It's the first time I see Zhu Er trying to make a girl happy. It's quite fresh." The person who spoke was Chang Ya, who was wearing a red dress. She was 24 years old and was an intern in the hospital. Her mother was the director of the hospital.

Jiang Zheng withdrew her gaze calmly, "Who knows about him?"

Zhu Er is a well-known rogue in their circle who is capable of doing anything. With the support of the Zhu family, no one dares to mess with him.

"I heard that he was suspended from school because he made Grandpa Zhu angry. He is out to accompany Grandma Zhu and Zhu Weidong. He is back. Are Grandma Zhu and Zhu Weidong back too?" Chang Ya took Jiang Zheng's arm, "Come with me to Zhu's house."

Jiang Zheng's father is the director of the hospital and Zhu's mother works here, so they are naturally not outsiders and have watched these younger generations grow up.

"Zhu Weidong won't come back." Jiang Zheng looked at her, "He'll be there for at least a year, you know that."

Chang Ya curled her lips and said, "Forget it, I'm not going."

Jiang Zheng didn't say much.

Chang Ya likes Zhu Weidong, and only Jiang Zheng knows this. The last blind date arranged by the Zhu family for Zhu Weidong was with Chang Ya. Jiang Zheng thought it was a natural thing, but in the end, the two of them didn't get together.

Jiang Zheng has a cold personality, and she didn't ask further questions when her good friend didn't want to talk. Now that she can't let go, she doesn't understand what she is doing.

After Ji Ling returned to the ward, she saw Ji Jianhua forcing a smile but pretended not to notice.

In the next few days, she usually stayed in the hospital in the morning and in the guesthouse at night. When Zhu Yaowu was not busy, he would take her to the street to choose things to buy for the new house.

Ji Ling took the money Zhu Weidong gave her, but Zhu Yaowu disagreed, saying that the family had already prepared money for each son's marriage.

Afterwards, he asked Ji Ling curiously, "Did my elder brother really give you his salary?"

Ji Ling nodded.

Then Zhu Yaowu looked strange and was mumbling something.

Ji Yong, who was originally said to wake up the next day, woke up on the third day. He could not speak yet and did not stay awake for long. When he saw his wife, daughter and son were there, he forced a smile and fell into a deep sleep again.

Until the fifth day, people began to be more sober.

"I'm sorry to have made you worry about me." Seeing his wife become very thin, Ji Yong felt distressed and apologetic. He then looked at his son, "Where are Xiaoling and Xiaoke?"

I have been slowly resuming updates these days. This is the fourth day. I just stopped having a fever, and then maybe I haven’t recovered yet, my eyes are very dry 　　 　 (end of this chapter)
