Ji Yu truly didn’t know what to say. Should she just say that this ex-husband is him?
If she didn’t say it, it seed it could easily lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Talking about this ex-husband makes feel repulsed. After all, I don’t have much of a relationship with this person. The two of us haven’t even t face to face." She could only choose a compromise and gently relay the matter to him.
She hoped he could rember this part of the past.
After all, their experiences seed so similar; it would be easy to figure it out.
Unfortunately, Gu Qixiao clearly didn’t have such a keen sense in this area.
"Since you don’t want to hear about it, I won’t bring him up again in the future." Gu Qixiao felt sowhat uncomfortable inside but also knew Ji Yu didn’t like hearing about this ex-husband.
"It’s not that I don’t want to hear it. I just think it’s a bit unfair to you. Why not talk about your ex-wife instead? That way, the two of us can be more even-handed."
As soon as she said this, Gu Qixiao clamd up completely.
Actually, it wasn’t sothing he couldn’t talk about; it’s just that the things back then were rather unpleasant for him.
"What? Are you afraid to speak now too?"
"It’s not that I’m afraid to talk about it. It’s just that we never actually t, and I did wrong by her." He didn’t rember much of what had happened back then, but he still rembered the words his father had said at the ti.
"So you do have it in you to play the role of a scumbag, huh?"
"How is that possible? It’s just that at the ti, too many things held back. Plus, I didn’t know this person at all, which is why I made such a stupid decision. Looking back now, no matter what, I should have cleared things up first."
But the affair was long over, and he didn’t know where his ex-wife was either. There was no point in revisiting it.
"Yu, I would never let you down, ever."
Ji Yu felt a bit helpless. She had explained things so clearly, yet he still couldn’t figure it out. She could only wait until the family eting to reveal the truth.
"Gu Qixiao, if you were to et your ex-wife, wouldn’t that be quite the surprise?"
Gu Qixiao thought she was just jealous and didn’t take her suggestion seriously. Instead, he comforted her.
"No matter what happened in the past, it’s all ancient history now. You are my present and my only one. I will never let you down."
Seeing how he couldn’t guess who his ex-wife was at all, Ji Yu decided to simply keep quiet.
"By the way, what’s your relationship with Ling Xia? Why did she say you secretly liked her?"
This was sothing Ji Yu didn’t want to rely on their one-sided claims to conclude. After all, they both seed a little crazy, and who knew if their words were true or false? It was better to clarify directly.
"When did I ever secretly like her?" Gu Qixiao displayed a thoroughly confused expression, completely unaware of such a rumor.
Especially after hearing about Ling Xia approaching her, his expression darkened.
"She can be extrely obsessed at tis. Whenever we encountered her, we tried to keep our distance. She didn’t harm you in any way, did she?"
He carefully scrutinized Ji Yu’s condition from head to toe.
Only after confirming that she was fine did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Why do you seem so particularly concerned about this? It’s not a big deal, really."
She had initially been puzzled, so she asked about the situation. Now, upon reflection, it didn’t seem like sothing that needed inquiry.
Such things couldn’t possibly be true.
"Yu, I’m very glad you ca to ask ."
This proved there was no major rift between the two of them. Clearing the air was better than anything else.
Ji Yu addressed the matter with genuine seriousness.
"Ever since you brought it up last ti, I’ve realized we should communicate properly instead of using a confrontational tone to hurt each other."
Such events, having happened once, wouldn’t occur a second ti.
Both of them were reasonable people who didn’t insist on a battle of life or death.
She had initially intended to continue speaking but then received a call from Feng Qinqin.
"What?!?" Her face instantly darkened.
She didn’t think twice, quickly putting on a coat and rushing toward the door.
Gu Qixiao noticed sothing was wrong and quickly stepped forward to support her.
"Yu, don’t get so agitated. Let go with you. Tell where you need to go, and I’ll drive you there. Okay?"
He tried his best to calm her down. It was his first ti seeing Ji Yu so worked up—sothing serious must have happened for her to behave this way.
"Take to the hospital. Hurry, get to the hospital." Tears were already welling up in her eyes, and she looked incredibly anxious. Gu Qixiao didn’t dare delay and took her straight to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, he finally learned what had happened—it turned out Madam Ji had been in a car accident.
"How could this happen so suddenly? What exactly happened?"
"We don’t know the specifics yet; the police are already investigating the cause of the accident." Ji Yuanzhou’s emotional state wasn’t great either, and it was evident in his tone.
Ji Yu’s face turned pale as she recalled Li Yu’s threats back then.
"It must be because of that things turned out this way. Why didn’t I take Li Yu’s threats seriously back then?"
"Yu, calm down. This isn’t your fault. And if you don’t want to do sothing you dislike, no one can force you." Gu Qixiao, worried about her condition, stepped forward to hold her in his arms.
Nestled in his embrace, Ji Yu gradually regained a semblance of rationale.
"I must find out exactly what’s going on." She couldn’t believe things had escalated to this point.
She had to investigate the truth of the incident and find out what motives were at play.
"Yuyu, let’s wait until Auntie’s surgery is finished first. I don’t think her condition is as bad as we imagined." Though damages certainly existed.
Feng Qinqin, having been beside Ji Yuanzhou from the beginning, understood how fragile he was now.
"I understand. After the surgery is done, once I’ve seen Mom’s condition, I will imdiately investigate the truth behind this. I absolutely won’t let the culprit of this incident get away with it." Ji Yu’s approach to the matter was deadly serious, showing no inclination to compromise.
