Chapter 185: Finding Help
Situ Jingyi arrived at the Ji Family Mansion’s garage in a fiery red sports car, parking it with a blinding glare. She got out of the car in a panic and happened to run into Grandfather Ji.
She nervously called out, “Grandfather, why are you here?” It seemed like a redundant question! This was Grandfather Ji’s home, so of course he would be here!
Grandfather Ji smiled kindly and said, “Jingyi, shouldn’t I be the one asking you that? My dear, what’s gotten into you today? You’re so flustered! What happened? Are you looking for Weiwei?”
Situ Jingyi forced a smile with difficulty. “Grandfather, please go rest. I know my way!”
Suddenly, Grandfather Ji said earnestly, “Jingyi, I watched you grow up. I treat you like my own granddaughter. If our Xiao Yu did anything excessive to you, please don’t take it to heart! After all, Xiao Yu is a straightforward person, and you grew up together. Please be more understanding in all matters. When you go back, speak well of Xiao Yu to your Dad. After all, your Dad is the expert when it comes to hotel operations!”
Situ Jingyi hadn’t expected Grandfather Ji to say this and was suddenly speechless. How should she respond?
Not long ago, Ji Xiangyu had slandered her father. She had casually agreed, “Grandfather, don’t worry. I’ll always remember the affection the Ji Family has shown me! Grandfather, I’m going to find Weiwei now!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed off!
Grandfather Ji glanced meaningfully at Situ Jingyi’s retreating back. Situ Haonan was probably about to cause a storm, but if the Situ Family couldn’t defeat the Ji Family decades ago, what ability did they have to win now?
The mobile phone in Grandfather Ji’s pocket vibrated. He took out his phone and answered, “What is it?”
A voice came from the other end, “Master, the Young Master has secretly found out about what happened five years ago. Should we stop him?!”
Grandfather Ji’s wrinkled old face broke into a slight smile. “Let him continue investigating. He’ll see things more clearly later. It’s better if we don’t stop him. Keep a close eye on Situ Haonan’s actions. Don’t make a move unless absolutely necessary!”
After the other party responded and hung up, Grandfather Ji, leaning on his cane, walked slowly step by step to the study room. He sat in the vast study, propping his chin in his hand, lost in thought!
On the other side, Situ Jingyi hadn’t come to the Ji Family to find Ji Weiwei at all. She went to Li Mei’s bedroom. Ji Junhua was abroad for a performance, so only Li Mei was in the bedroom!
Pushing the door open, she saw Li Mei sitting elegantly on the sofa, looking through a magazine. Situ Jingyi immediately rushed over, crying, “Aunt Ji, what should I do?”
Li Mei affectionately stroked Situ Jingyi’s hair and comforted her, “Jingyi, don’t be sad! Tell Aunt Ji quickly, what did Xiao Yu say to you?!”
Situ Jingyi was immersed in her own emotions. “Yu, he hit me!” she said with a sob, pointing to the redness and swelling on her face. “He actually hit me, Aunt Ji, you have to stand up for me!”
Li Mei couldn’t bear to look at the redness and swelling on Situ Jingyi’s face. She was shocked. In her eyes, Ji Xiangyu wouldn’t hit someone casually. She figured he must have been extremely angry this time!
She asked uneasily, “Jingyi, stop crying and tell me what Xiao Yu said to you!”
Perhaps it was Li Mei’s sudden stern and serious expression that made Situ Jingyi stop crying. She choked out, “Yu said I should think carefully about what happened five years ago, and that he never wants to see me again. He gets very angry when he sees me!”
Although Ji Xiangyu hadn’t explicitly stated what happened five years ago, from his words, it was certain that he knew something!
“Is that all?”
Situ Jingyi nodded. “That’s all. He told me to get lost and not to appear in front of him!”
Li Mei patted Situ Jingyi helplessly and comforted her, “Xiao Yu was just saying things in anger. It’ll be fine in a few days, Jingyi, don’t be too sad! As for that woman, Aunt Ji will handle her properly for you. I promise she won’t appear by Xiao Yu’s side again!”
With Li Mei’s words, Situ Jingyi felt relieved. She finally showed a smile and said, “I knew Aunt Ji loved me the most!”
Li Mei looked into the distance. If not her own precious child, then who else would she dote on?
