Ji Yu had been extremely busy recently.
Thinking about how meeting each other today wasn’t easy, they naturally needed to make the most of their time together.
"The situation last time has been mostly resolved, right?" There shouldn’t be a need to worry about the Ling family’s matters anymore.
Hearing this, Gu Qixiao felt a headache coming on.
"I really don’t understand what’s going on with their family. They’re always imagining everything to be as perfect as they envision it."
The problem is, what they’ve been doing is utterly terrible.
"I don’t even know what they’re fantasizing about anymore. They keep trying to force some kind of relationship between me and their daughter." The crux of the matter is that it’s impossible between the two of them, yet now they’re pushing things to this extent. Who knows what they’re thinking.
"Maybe, in their mind, only this would make your partnership with them more stable. After all, your collaboration is already on the brink of being canceled," Ji Yu said, trying to understand the other party’s perspective.
But handling this matter in such a way could result in significant risks.
Ji Yu didn’t feel there was too much wrong with it either—it was normal for them to harbor such thoughts at the moment.
"What they’re hoping for isn’t even particularly grand. It’s just that your partnership with them is on the edge of collapse, and they’re grasping for any chance to salvage it. They probably think this is the only way to solidify your relationship with them."
In their eyes, perhaps every major family is built on arranged marriages, but unfortunately, Gu Qixiao isn’t that kind of person at all.
"I have zero interest in their family, and their quality has been dropping, too. It makes me seriously question whether they’re doing this intentionally," he said.
Maybe this is a reason as well. Since they’ve failed to ensure quality, they’re attempting to compensate through other means.
But unexpectedly, this time something seems off.
Thinking about the situation made Gu Qixiao sigh helplessly.
"If they keep this up, I doubt the partnership has any chance of success." They had worked together for a long time, but now their performance kept going downhill. He couldn’t figure out what was going on.
"If they can’t improve their quality, we’ll just have to replace them. It’s not our fault. From the very beginning, they’ve had ulterior motives, and it’s something I find extremely repulsive."
When dealing with these things, Gu Qixiao operated on one principle—they shouldn’t try such low tactics, as it would only worsen their relationship.
"Let’s not talk about them anymore. Just thinking about them makes me angry. How’s your aunt doing?"
He knew Ji Yu had recently found a highly skilled neurologist, but he wasn’t sure if Madam Ji’s condition could be treated successfully.
"My mother’s condition has improved a lot. However, the doctor mentioned she may need surgery, but there are significant risks involved. He’s decided to consult his mentor first for advice."
Reaching such progress was already no small feat, but they still hoped to find a perfect solution, one that carried minimal risk, if any.
"If your aunt’s condition improves, there’s a good chance she’ll wake up. I just hope we can find a suitable method so she doesn’t have to suffer so much."
Brain surgery involves considerable risks, not to mention numerous potential complications.
"Yu, don’t worry. I’ve also reached out to several neurologists, and I hope their expertise can help your mother."
What happened caught them all off guard, leading to the current situation, but they would never let things drag on . At the very least, they had to ensure Madam Ji woke up.
Ji Yu also wished things wouldn’t turn out so disastrous. However, every bad thing seemed to have come at once, piling on her, making it hard to bear.
"I don’t know what’s been going on lately. It’s one thing after another, and there’s always someone causing trouble. We didn’t even do anything."
The most innocent person in all this was the one who had suffered the most—Madam Ji. She had done nothing wrong and didn’t even know the person involved, yet she had been harmed so cruelly.
"I keep wondering, if my mom knew about this, would she blame me?" From the very beginning, she had been terrified of this possibility, worried about what might come next.
If her own mother were to say such things to her, she might completely fall apart.
"Yu, you need to trust in the love your mother has for you. Even if she knew about this, she wouldn’t blame you at all. In her eyes, this has nothing to do with you—it’s the other party’s decision."
No one had any inkling of what Li Yu was planning when he did this. It was impossible for anyone to foresee this situation.
They rushed to the scene immediately after it happened, but they couldn’t stop the tragedy from unfolding.
They were racking their brains, trying to figure out what could be done.
But for now, there was so little they could do—they could only try to make up for it in other ways.
They could only hope the doctors they found this time would be helpful.
"Gu Qixiao, why is it that the world seems to have so many unpleasant things? Wouldn’t it be great if everything could go smoothly?"
Ji Yu was about to say more when someone called out to her. Get full chapters from novel⦿fire.net
"Miss Ji, someone outside is asking for you."
Ji Yu was momentarily stunned. She hadn’t expected anyone to come looking for her at this time. If she remembered correctly, she hadn’t scheduled any meetings recently.
When she finally met the person, she realized who it was.
"Oh, it’s you. I was wondering why I hadn’t run into any familiar faces recently. What brings you here? I’ve already told you—I wouldn’t perform another surgery for your face."
She had always stuck to her principles. Once she made a decision, she wouldn’t waver, no matter the circumstances.
The person’s face had deteriorated due to improper use of medication. She couldn’t understand what he was thinking when he chose to abandon the treatment she had initially prescribed.
"Miss Ji, I beg you, please help me. With this face, I can’t go anywhere or even make a living. You must understand that you’re the only one who can fix it. I really need your help," he pleaded, looking utterly defeated and pitiful in front of Ji Yu.
But if she remembered correctly, he had initially planned to use this face to deceive others.
