"What you’re saying doesn’t move in the slightest. I think my current life is just fine."
At the very least, this outco is still a good one.
She’s doing well.
But going back to the Lin family—who knows what might happen there.
Seeing how Elder Lin is this shaless, there must be so sort of sche behind all this. It’s really not certain what it is yet.
Ji Yu had already seen through all of it, so there’s no way she would easily fall for anything just for money.
"Elder, there’s no need for you to keep going on like this. Why don’t you just state your purpose directly? If it’s sothing I can help with, I might consider it. But in most cases, I don’t think that’s likely."
She kept smiling, but Elder Lin had this feeling—Ji Yu seed to know sothing. Otherwise, why would she have that kind of look in her eyes?
His expression faltered slightly, as if he had been brought back to the early days of interacting with a certain soone.
"If you’re not going to speak, Elder Lin, I’ll take it as your silent acknowledgnt of my words. Now I suggest you stop obsessing over this and just head ho as soon as possible."
There’s no real sha in having your sches exposed. What’s shaful is insisting on continuing this nonsense—what’s the point of making trouble for no reason?
"I..."
At that mont, Ji Yuanzhou returned. Seeing this situation, he seed a little surprised. "And who might this be?"
"That’s the old man from the Lin family."
This ti, the Ji family was clearly united. Just seeing soone from the Lin family put them on high alert—if the Lin family really tried sothing shaless, like snatching soone away, they’d definitely do everything to protect Ji Yu.
Seeing this stance, Elder Lin seed to realize he couldn’t continue the conversation and wasn’t in a rush. "There’s no need for you all to reject so hastily. The benefits I can offer you are far greater than you imagine. Is an adopted daughter really worth this much effort from you?"
He’d returned to his usual calm deanor this ti.
But the words he spoke carried a vaguely threatening undertone.
Ji Yu’s eyebrows knit slightly. She had already anticipated that Elder Lin might say such things. "Elder Lin, if you want to target , that’s fine. But if you go after my family, don’t bla for making trouble for you."
Just because Ji Yu kept quiet didn’t an she was easy to bully. After all, everyone understood the principle of mutual respect, right?
"Kid, the waters you’re wading into run deeper than you think. What do you an by that?"
He looked at Ji Yu, curious about what kind of move she would make. This type of back and forth was probably cruel for everyone involved.
Ji Yu frowned. "The things you care about, I don’t. When the ti cos and your Lin family is utterly disgraced, you’ll have no one to bla but yourselves."
In this area, she had done her howork.
And besides, this ti, the Lin family had gone way too far. There was no way she could just let it slide.
Without saying anything further, Elder Lin gave Ji Yu a aningful look before leaving.
This ti, Ji Yu was even more certain—there was no way their reasons for wanting to bring this child back were simple.
"Yu, just do what you think is right. Mom, Dad, and your brother will never let you suffer."
They truly cared for her.
Ji Yu was deeply aware of their thoughts, and she couldn’t help but feel touched. "I’m planning to investigate their true intentions first."
At the very least, stumbling around cluelessly like this wasn’t an option—it was clearly disadvantageous for them.
"Will it be dangerous for you, Yu? You absolutely must not let anything happen to yourself. Even if they really co after the Ji family, we can still hold out for a while."
Ji Yu smiled, soothing their worries as best she could. "Don’t worry, Mom. It’s pretty simple for to investigate their affairs. You all need to stay safe too—there’s no telling how far these people will go."
They were still visibly worried.
But they trusted that Ji Yu wouldn’t say such things unless she was prepared.
And Ji Yu wasn’t planning to waste any more ti. On her way back, she imdiately called Hong, letting him know that this ti, they needed to be thorough in getting ready.
"Help look into whether this Elder Lin has any illnesses lately, like sothing that requires a donor."
Judging by Elder Lin’s condition, he didn’t look well. Yet he was still holding on—it seed he was quite resilient.
Hong was worried about Ji Yu’s situation. "If they really have such a plan, wouldn’t that put you in danger, Sister Yu?"
He didn’t know what Ji Yu had been through during this ti, but for sothing to weigh on her mind like this, it had to be serious.
"Don’t worry. I have so confidence in handling this. And I also know that if they go to such lengths, they must have done their howork beforehand."
Careful preparation was essential for these matters.
"Alright, then wait for my update. I’ll make sure to find out everything as quickly as I can."
Of course, when Gu Qixiao heard about this, he was also concerned. This ti, when he arrived, he was unexpectedly calm. "I know you don’t want to see , but I still need to make this clear—I want to protect you."
He didn’t understand why things had escalated like this. The fact that he had a hand in pushing it forward made him feel like a complete fool.
"Do you feel guilty? Actually, even without you, given their influence, they’d have found soon enough. Your involvent didn’t really make much difference."
Truthfully, his original intentions had been good.
Ji Yu smiled lightly. She didn’t want everyone around her staying so tense. "Can’t you all see that I’m doing fine? For them to co after , it’ll still take so ti."
Among the Lin family, ironically, the most fearso-looking Lin Wenyan seed to be the most reasonable one.
"I need you to help with sothing. Get Lin Wenyan to et —I have so questions I need to ask him."
At the very least, she needed to understand their true intentions.
Such a small favor—Gu Qixiao couldn’t refuse.
When Lin Wenyan heard that it was Ji Yu inviting him, he readily agreed.
"Why didn’t you just contact yourself? Didn’t I already give you my number before?" He seed genuinely puzzled by this.
Ji Yu simply ignored that question. "I can agree to your surgery request, but you’ll have to do a favor in return."
She was confident in this matter and knew he’d been preparing for the surgery for a while now.
"Really?" He seed a bit skeptical, given how resolute Ji Yu had been before.
