Ji Niandong bit her lip and hesitated, saying, "Little Uncle, why don’t you and Doctor Zhu chat for a while, and I’ll go in first and talk to my dad, okay?"
Her whole body radiated anxiety, and Lu Beichen held her hand tighter, "Since we came here together, we must face it together no matter what. I told you, no matter what happens in the future, I will face it with you!"
After he spoke forcefully, Ji Niandong nodded. With him by her side, she seemed to have more confidence.
Although Zhu Yiming was uninformed, he understood the situation, "Uncle Ji’s ward is independent, and there are people keeping watch around. No one will disturb him!"
Lu Beichen nodded and led Ji Niandong inside.
Ji Guoqiang had been recuperating in the high-class ward for so long that he was in good spirits, looking healthy and having gained some weight.
He had already dressed up, waiting there for his daughter to discharge him!
It was the first time he dressed up so energetically, having survived a near-death experience, he was quite emotional!
Sitting on the bed, he nervously rubbed his knees, unable to stop his legs from shaking.
But when he saw Ji Niandong being led in by a man, his face suddenly stiffened. This scene seemed identical to many years ago!
When Ji Niandong entered, she immediately noticed her father’s expression. After seeing it for so many years, she could tell with a glance he was on the verge of anger.
She swallowed, stood with Lu Beichen in front of him, and they both bowed, "Dad!"
"I’m not dead yet! What are you doing?!" He scowled, gritted his teeth, and glared at Ji Niandong, "And him, who is he?"
"Hello, Dad! I am...!"
"Shut up! I’m talking to my daughter, it’s not your turn to interrupt!" Ji Guoqiang scolded, and Lu Beichen stayed silent.
Standing by the door enjoying the scene, Zhu Yiming was having a great time. He had rarely seen Lu Beichen at such a loss; he almost wanted to give this uncle a big thumbs-up!
It was only then Ji Niandong raised her head, clenched her fists, her gaze resolute, "Dad, this is my husband. We’ve been married for almost two months! He is Lu Beichen; you should know him!"
Ji Guoqiang suddenly stood up from the bed, his slightly trembling body appearing tall and insignificant in front of Lu Beichen. He looked up at him, indeed a handsome, charming, and wealthy man!
He raised his hand and slapped Ji Niandong across the face, so fast that Lu Beichen had no time to react, "Lied to me about making money from acting, so I could stay in such a ward, with Professor Zhu Yiming personally performing the surgery! Turns out you really... really found a rich man!"
He raised his trembling hand, striving to finish his words gracefully!
Unable to bear watching, Zhu Yiming sidled up and said, "Even though it’s your family matter, and I shouldn’t interfere, Uncle, you’re going too far. Without your daughter, would you still be standing here?"
"Doctor Zhu, considering you saved my life, I won’t quarrel with you. Since you know it’s our family matter, please don’t meddle!"
After Ji Guoqiang finished speaking, Lu Beichen reached out to stop Zhu Yiming, who then turned to walk out, preferring not to see!
Lu Beichen then turned his head and softly asked the little woman beside him, "Does it hurt?"
Ji Niandong shook her head, but tears couldn’t stop flowing!
She seldom cried in front of others, hardly ever since childhood. Seeing this, Ji Guoqiang softened for a moment, but in the next second, he pushed Lu Beichen aside, pulling Ji Niandong along, "You go back with me immediately, tomorrow I’ll take you to divorce him!"
"I’m not going back!" Ji Niandong shook off his hand and stepped back.
Ji Guoqiang turned around, looking at her incredulously, and raised his hand to strike again, but Lu Beichen stopped him.
