Ji Gao looked at Du Li’s gentle appearance and thought of the disobedient Jiang He at home. At the same time that he was increasingly dissatisfied with Jiang He, he also liked Du Li more and more.

He walked to Du Li’s side and stroked the back of her head so that her head could lean against him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be with you and Lin Lin soon after I’m done.” As he spoke, Ji Gao’s gaze landed on Ji Lin, who was lying on the hospital bed.

Ji Lin was now in the late stages of uremia and was completely dependent on the hospital’s medicine and equipment to maintain his life.

However, with the disgust and anorexia, Ji Lin’s originally medium fat body was now so thin that he was only skin and bones. If one looked from afar, they would even think that it was a skeleton on the bed.

Coupled with the fact that Ji Lin’s skin was dry and even peeling off, it made Ji Lin look a little terrifying.

At the thought of Ji Lin’s nausea and vomiting, as well as his lack of energy and anxiety, Ji Gao’s heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.

He did not understand why it was his favorite son that had to suffer such illness.

Du Li glanced at Ji Gao, who was looking at Ji Lin in deep thought. She couldn’t help but reach out and push Ji Gao’s waist. She reminded him gently, “Hubby, don’t you still have something to do? Then you can go and do it first!”

Hearing Du Li’s words, Ji Gao came back to his senses and recalled the news he had just received.

He nodded and said a few words to Ji Lin, who was awake on the bed, before leaving the hospital.

When Ji Gao found out about Jiang He’s destination, the other party had already arrived at the Ji family’s old residence.

Old Master Ji looked at Jiang He and nodded lightly. Previously, he still had the heart to deal with Jiang He, but after Ji Chen’s incident, he didn’t want to see Jiang He, who had a deep relationship with Ji Chen, so his attitude towards Jiang He naturally became cold.

Jiang He did not care about Old Master Ji’s attitude. She sat down opposite Old Master Ji, and the corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile.

“Dad, you really went through a lot of trouble to hide it from me. Only now do I know what you guys did behind my back.”

Old Master Ji was dissatisfied with Jiang He’s attitude, especially after Ji Chen’s incident, he was even more unwilling to let anyone escape from his control.

He lifted his eyelids, and his blurred gaze landed on Jiang He. “Is this how you talk to me?!”

“What kind of attitude should I have if 1 don’t use this attitude?” Jiang He sneered. “You guys are targeting my son behind my back. Don’t tell me you want me to be nice to you?!”

Old Master Ji’s face stiffened. He did not expect Jiang He to already know what they had done.

However, his expression quickly relaxed.

After all, he was not at fault in this matter at all. Naturally, he was not worried that Jiang He would cause trouble.

He gave her a mirthless smile. “So that’s what you’re here to talk about. Your parents know about this too. They approve of what I’m doing.”

To Mr Jiang and Mrs Jiang, the most important thing was naturally the Ji Group. Ji Chen’s company could not be compared to the Ji Group at all.

They naturally would not agree with Ji Chen’s decision to leave Ji Group even if he did not want it. Therefore, they chose to stand by and watchthe Ji Group suppress Radiant.

“What my parents’ views are, they are my parents’ views. My views are mine. As Chen’s mother, I naturally won’t stop him from doing what he wants to do.”

At this point, Jiang He deliberately paused.

Her eyes turned cold as she continued, “But I can’t watch helplessly as you suppress Chen’er!”

Jiang He’s expression was serious, and her stern expression was rather imposing. Even in front of Old Master Ji, she could maintain it slightly.

Old Master Ji gripped the walking stick in his hand tightly and sized Jiang He up.

Previously, he had always thought that Jiang He was stupid. Now, it seemed that she still had some brains and boldness. However, in front of him, it was not enough.

The aura around Old Master Ji became even more intimidating, and his blurred eyes became clear.

“Then what do you want to do?”

“It’s very simple. Revoke the Ji Group’s ban on Chen’er’s company and compensate Chen’er’s company for the losses during this period of time. I think this shouldn’t be a big problem for the Ji Group, right?”

Jiang He straightened her back.. Facing Old Master Ji’s pressure, she did not back down at all and revealed her
