However, she did not forget to explain the surgery situation to Jiang Yaohuan clearly.
"Gu Qixiao, you should go and take care of your own business first. I’ll go review everything again. After I handle things, the two of us can et up."
Gu Qixiao was sowhat uneasy about leaving her alone. After dropping her off at the hospital, he finally departed.
Jiang Yaohuan had already been waiting for a while.
Seeing Ji Yu’s haggard appearance, Jiang Yaohuan was taken aback.
"Doctor Ji, what’s happened to you?"
"I’ve encountered so issues recently, so the surgery might need to be postponed for a while. But don’t worry—I will make sure your operation is successful."
She was very confident about this matter, but she also needed to deal with Li Yu, and many things were inconvenient for her to handle personally.
"This..."
"I understand this is very important to you as well, but until this matter is resolved, I cannot carry out a quality surgery." With other things weighing on her, Ji Yu knew she could not perform optimally.
Jiang Yaohuan understood this logic and could only nod, indicating his willingness to accept the delay.
"Doctor Ji, if there’s anything I can help with, feel free to let know—I might be able to assist."
"Thank you for your concern, but this isn’t sothing you should look into," Ji Yu replied with a smile.
Though her expression showed a smile, her eyes betrayed no warmth.
Jiang Yaohuan could see this was sothing likely very significant—otherwise, she wouldn’t act this way.
Normally, Ji Yu was very reserved and reluctant to leverage her connections. But since the opposition had already co knocking so blatantly, it was ti to show them that so people should not be provoked.
She dialed a highly unfamiliar number.
The person on the other end of the line sounded thrilled to receive her call.
"Doctor Ji, what brings you to contact ? Has sothing happened? Whatever you need, just say the word, and I’ll handle it for you."
"I need you to take care of soone for ," Ji Yu said bluntly, avoiding any unnecessary conversation.
If he sought harm against her mother’s life, then she would ensure his own demise first.
"That’s an easy task. Doctor Ji, just send his details in a bit."
The person was incredibly confident in handling such matters and promised to resolve everything thoroughly.
Ji Yu wasted no ti and had Hong send all the information on Li Yu to her phone.
The recipient confird receipt with an "OK" gesture.
"Doctor Ji, if you have ti, we should hang out together soti."
"If the chance arises, sure." Over the years, Ji Yu had interacted with all sorts of people—Li Yu wasn’t the only one from this line of work she had crossed paths with.
When Gu Qixiao ca to pick her up, he imdiately noticed her cold deanor.
He wasn’t quite used to seeing Ji Yu like this.
After all, while Ji Yu usually carried a detached air, she wouldn’t treat him with such frosty indifference.
"Gu Qixiao, I’m sorry. My current state might not be very favorable. If you feel my attitude right now is off, perhaps we should avoid seeing each other for the next few days."
Ji Yu was fully aware that her state of mind was not quite right.
A situation like this could easily lead to misunderstandings by others.
"Why would I misunderstand you? I know you’re unhappy inside right now, but I understand it’s not directed at ."
Recently, he had deployed people to surround Li Yu’s base.
So people act heedlessly without thinking things through, but they eventually need to pay the price.
Leaning against his shoulder, Ji Yu felt a faint sense of peace at last.
"Gu Qixiao, thank you for understanding ." Honestly, she had already braced herself for the possibility of not being understood. After all, not everyone could accept such matters.
"Yu, you need to trust that the bond between us isn’t that shallow. And I know you’re feeling miserable inside—how could I possibly demand that you smile at ?"
What he wanted was not just a smiling Ji Yu but soone who could share a lifeti with him.
Only in his company could Ji Yu find any semblance of tranquility.
Over this period, she had been pondering their relationship, and now it seed evident that they were indeed a perfect match.
"Once Mom is discharged, we should et each other’s families." Honestly, even if the past hadn’t been ideal, there was no need to feel awkward about it now.
Gu Qixiao would find out about it sooner or later—it was better to initiate the conversation and resolve everything upfront.
Before Gu Qixiao could respond, soone suddenly stopped them.
Ling Xia’s gaze toward the two of them was brimming with jealousy.
"Xiao, how could you be with soone like her? Didn’t you say you only liked ? How can you be with soone else?" She was acting hysterically.
Since last ti when she was taken to the hospital, Ji Yu had left her matter alone. But seeing her like this today only made the situation more startling.
"How could you..."
"Answer ! Why are you holding another woman’s hand? Didn’t you say you only liked ?" Ling Xia continued pressing Gu Qixiao relentlessly.
Gu Qixiao frowned, confused as to why she was saying such things—they barely exchanged words, so where did this delusion even co from?
Protecting Ji Yu at his side, he imdiately called Assistant Li to co and settle the situation.
Unfortunately, it seed Ling Xia had lost control completely. Out of nowhere, she brandished a knife and dashed toward them.
Already looking manic, she was now ard with a weapon, which naturally increased the danger significantly.
Ji Yu had no idea why such an incident would occur.
"Calm down first. If there’s sothing you want to talk about, let’s discuss it. I don’t understand why you would imagine such things, but there really is nothing between us," Gu Qixiao tried reasoning with her.
At the sa ti, he was worried that Ji Yu might get hurt.
Ji Yu stood, bewildered, staring at the escalating chaos.
"You’ve already gone behind my back and held another woman’s hand. How can I possibly forgive you? And you say there’s nothing between you? Do you believe I’ll kill her right now?"
Not only was Ling Xia out of her mind, but it was clear she couldn’t be talked down.
This reminded Ji Yu of the words Song Xuan had ntioned before.
"Looks like Song Xuan was right—she does seem to have a ntal illness, often fantasizing about a relationship between you two and even imagining you harboring feelings for her."
Once imagined often enough, such thoughts might start feeling real.
To Ling Xia, this was reality.
"Xiao, how could you abandon ? You once said you’d care for forever, but now you’ve fallen in love with soone else."
