Ji Yu couldn’t quite understand herself at this mont—why was she so fixated on this matter?
But their relationship had indeed improved significantly, and there was no need to keep hiding certain things. Her father’s tumor was not sothing worth concealing anymore.
However, because of this issue, so people at the company had begun to stir restlessly, thinking they could take the position for themselves.
When Ji Yu heard what they said, her expression was full of disdain, finding their words utterly repugnant.
"I don’t know what you all are thinking, but anyone who can spout such despicable words isn’t worth much. Just know this—take care of yourselves, and don’t co to the company again. Otherwise, it’ll be you who ends up unlucky."
At this mont, Ji Yu’s commanding aura was in full force. Her gaze was cold as she looked at them. This situation was their fault to begin with. If they had anything to say, they might as well just say it outright.
"I truly don’t know where you get the audacity to want to beco the chairman. My father is still alive. If you have anything to say, say it to . My father will never be cursed and forced away by the likes of you."
She had always been insistent on Hu Jianyu receiving treatnt.
They had already made their decision about this. Even if there were considerable risks, they would proceed with the brain surgery.
Hu Qianqian seed to have finally found an opening to speak, so she promptly said, "Ji Yu, stop being so willful. I don’t think you realize the situation. Uncle’s condition is worsening—he can’t handle this kind of tornt anymore. It’s best not to dwell on it at this point."
What it boiled down to was that they wanted the position but were pretending to act noble, as if everything they were doing was purely for the benefit of Ji Yu and her father.
"I’d like to see which one of you is capable of it. If you want the chairman’s position, you’d better show you’re up to the task."
If any of them had actual ability, they wouldn’t say such ridiculous things. Of course, so were genuinely unsatisfied.
"Yu, if you keep going like this, you might push them to retaliate fully. I think you should ease up a little—don’t keep pushing like this," soone advised her.
There were still people who got along with Ji Yu fairly well. Hearing about the situation left them feeling very conflicted, unsure of how to face her.
"Uncle Guo, if you have sothing to say, just say it directly. There’s no need to hesitate—I know you too well to not understand what’s on your mind."
Sotis, that’s just how things are.
No one wants to endure tornt at a ti like this.
Ji Yu’s words stirred a sense of caution within him.
"You should just go ho and take care of your father, child. If anything really cos up, we’ll handle it on this side for you."
Deep down, they still cared about their old ties to the Ji family.
Then there was the matter of Ji Yu, Jiang Huai, and Gu Qixiao.
These people knew about it too. If things continued to be this chaotic, they could end up resenting her.
"Uncle Guo, I just don’t want to leave the job I love. On top of that, my father can’t let go of right now. If I leave the company at a ti like this, it’ll be torture for him."
When Ji Yu left, she didn’t forget to point out that she would absolutely not compromise on this matter.
She didn’t know why, but after leaving the company, she felt a stifling heaviness in her chest, as if sothing was weighing on her heart, refusing to be released.
Unconsciously, Ji Yu found herself back at the Ji family ho. Looking around at the familiar surroundings, a wave of confusion welled up inside her.
"Yu?" Madam Ji was a bit emotional when she saw her.
It had indeed been a long ti since they’d seen one another. This unexpected reunion felt like a small surprise.
Ji Yu didn’t know what to say. The situation in front of her filled her heart with unease.
"Why does Gu Qixiao treat like this?" she asked abruptly, without any preamble.
"He bullied you? Impossible. Soone like him bullying you? His heart is completely consud with thoughts of you. If he truly bullied you, now that would be unusual," Madam Ji replied, unconvinced.
She had spent enough ti around the two of them to maintain composure in this matter.
"If people don’t go a little crazy in their final monts of life, they may never get the chance to be wild. Why not give it another shot between you two?"
Madam Ji appeared surprisingly calm, as if this was no big deal at all.
But Ji Yu could sense her mother’s deep sadness—she was simply hiding it to avoid showing it to those around her.
"Mom, do you think I’ll never find soone I truly like in this lifeti? I don’t even understand myself—why am I so cold and unfeeling toward him?"
"That’s your subconscious protecting him. Deep down, you know all too well what kind of consequences he would face if he rembered you," Madam Ji said gently, patting her hand comfortingly.
This soft reassurance helped calm Ji Yu’s turbulent heart, at least for the mont.
"Yu, don’t be afraid—I’ll always be by your side. If anything happens, just co to ," Madam Ji said. She saw no barriers between them, believing she could care for Ji Yu even if they weren’t related by blood.
"You’ve lived with us for so long, you should know better than anyone how we feel. No matter what you do, we’ll support you. Just don’t make the wrong choice."
Matters of the heart always ebb and flow, but not in this kind of way.
Ji Yu grew anxious, unsure how to remove what was on her phone.
"Yu, stop obsessing over all these pointless things. Get so proper rest," said her mother, who had a knack for providing comfort.
Ji Yu rested her head on her mother’s lap and drifted off in a daze. Even as she fell asleep, her heart remained clouded with confusion.
"What’s this with Yu?" Mr. Ji asked, surprised at the scene when he ca ho.
