Chapter 100: Here comes another attempt to gain sympathy.

"I understand."

"During this time, pay close attention to the hospital's situation and don't let anyone get close." Ji Wenyuan had a suspicion in his heart and was preparing to investigate.

The doctor nodded. "Alright."

After getting a general understanding of the situation here, Ji Wenyuan walked over to Xiao Hong's side. "Mom, it's nothing serious."

"It's just that Dad is getting older, so the time he'll wake up is uncertain. We might need to be patient and wait." Ji Wenyuan looked at Xiao Hong's anxious appearance and felt the manifestation of her love.

"Okay..."

Xiao Hong's voice trembled slightly, and her entire body shook uncontrollably.

"Wenyuan, your father... if anything happens to your father, what should I do?" Xiao Hong's voice choked up, and tears overflowed from her eyes.

The two had been husband and wife for decades and had long since grown accustomed to each other.

"He'll be fine."

Ji Wenyuan gently patted Xiao Hong's hand, softly comforting her.

Even though he said that, Ji Wenyuan's mind was also in a mess.

Over the years, there had been basically no contact between him and his father, but in his heart, Ji Tianming was still an indomitable figure.

"Mom, let me take you back to rest first."

"Your health is very important right now."

Ji Wenyuan supported Xiao Hong, preventing her from collapsing.

"I want to take a look at your father."

Xiao Hong's voice trembled as she desperately tried to control her emotions.

"Alright."

After Ji Wenyuan agreed, he led Xiao Hong to the outside of the ICU, where they gazed at Ji Tianming from a distance.

On the hospital bed, Ji Tianming's face was pale, and he was wearing an oxygen mask.

A man who was usually vigorous, resolute, and humorless could only lie in a cold hospital room at this moment.

"Wenyuan, when your father wakes up, don't be stubborn with him anymore, okay!"

"For your father, Lin Qingyuan is a sore spot."

"You found his ex-girlfriend; what do you think your father would feel?"

"How could he possibly accept it!"

At a time like this, Xiao Hong also began to reject the marriage between Ji Wenyuan and Jian Qingya.

"That child seems nice."

"But there is no fate between you two." Xiao Hong didn't use harsh words, yet every word weighed heavily on Ji Wenyuan's heart.

No fate?

He never believed in such things; he believed that everything was created by himself.

"I understand."

But at a time like this, Ji Wenyuan didn't dare to say anything defiant.

If he had restrained his temper a bit, he wouldn't have angered his father to this extent.

"Mom, I'll take you back to rest."

"Okay."

Xiao Hong didn't want to stay and become a burden, so she let Ji Wenyuan take her back to the villa.

After dropping her off, before Ji Wenyuan even had a chance to rest, he received a call from Xiao He. "President Ji, there's a problem with the overseas company."

"Many of our people have been bribed, and some even sold company secrets."

"We currently have no clue about the other party's situation."

Ever since Ji Wenyuan noticed a problem in the overseas market, he had immediately sent Xiao He out.

He didn't expect that upon investigation, the problem would be so significant.

"I understand."

"Find a way to keep an eye on things over there for now; I can't get away recently." Ji Wenyuan was also anxious, but he truly couldn't divide himself.

"For the overseas market, don't make any moves yet. Observe the situation carefully and see if you can find any loopholes."

"Focus on that person's movements."

After calmly giving these instructions, Ji Wenyuan hung up the phone.

"Wenyuan, what's wrong?" Xiao Hong asked worriedly, seeing the look on Ji Wenyuan's face.

"There's a small problem in the overseas market."

"Don't worry."

Ji Wenyuan lightly patted Xiao Hong's shoulder. "Mom, it's late. You should rest first."

"I'll check on a few things and then go to sleep."

"Okay." Xiao Hong nodded, not wanting to cause Ji Wenyuan any trouble.

After watching Xiao Hong go upstairs, Ji Wenyuan began to log onto the website to search.

However, after searching for a long time, there were no traces; everything about that person seemed to have been erased.

Ji Wenyuan's brow furrowed, realizing the problem was far too thorny.

Country M was not an advantageous region for him.

It seemed he would have to go there in person.

Thinking of this, Ji Wenyuan closed his computer, lightly shut his eyes, and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

So tired.

The next day, when Ji Wenyuan woke up, he found himself on the sofa with a small blanket over him.

He tapped on his screen and felt a surge of excitement when he saw several missed calls.

Could it be Xiaoya?

Upon clicking in, the joy in Ji Wenyuan's eyes instantly dimmed.

They were all calls from the company.

Meanwhile, Jian Qingya was receiving a call from Lin Qingyuan.

"Xiaoya, both your families met yesterday. Are you preparing to hold the wedding ceremony?"

Lin Qingyuan asked cautiously.

Jian Qingya had just arrived at the studio when she received such a call, and her mood instantly soured. "Qingyuan, these matters have nothing to do with you."

"Can you please not ask about my private life, and don't interfere?"

This was the first time Jian Qingya had spoken so directly.

"I'm very grateful to you for saving me, but we've long since ceased to be boyfriend and girlfriend."

"No matter who I am with, it has nothing to do with you." Every word Jian Qingya said caught Lin Qingyuan by surprise.

He didn't expect Ji Wenyuan's presence to have such a significant impact on Jian Qingya.

It seemed his risky move this time had only barely managed to keep Jian Qingya around.

"Xiaoya, I didn't mean to. I just couldn't help it. I'm sorry..." Lin Qingyuan immediately placed himself in a subordinate position and apologized to Jian Qingya.

"It's just that running into you guys was so unexpected for me."

"I didn't expect Ji Tianming and Xiao Hong to have such a kind side."

"I've never seen Ji Tianming smile like that before."

There was a sense of loss in Lin Qingyuan's words, making it impossible to say anything more to blame him.

"But when they saw me, their eyes were full of such loathing."

"Xiaoya, he's my father too. Why does he have to hate me so much?"

Lin Qingyuan's question left Jian Qingya unable to answer for a moment.

"Does my birth really make him feel like I'm a stain? Is that it?"

At this moment, Lin Qingyuan was extremely pessimistic, and his mood was exceptionally low.

"Qingyuan."

"You couldn't choose your birth, and none of this is your fault."

"This is a mistake made by the previous generation."

After thinking for a long time, Jian Qingya still offered a few words of comfort.

She had also noticed yesterday that Ji Tianming's attitude toward Lin Qingyuan was very poor.

She didn't understand what kind of story lay behind it all.

She truly couldn't understand how someone could actually not love their own child.

"My mother took me and lived cautiously for so many years, fearing we would cross paths with them again."

"But Xiaoya, I also really want to have a father's love."

"Why can't he look at me more?" Lin Qingyuan's tone became increasingly sorrowful.

Jian Qingya opened her mouth, but for a long while, she couldn't say anything.

She didn't even know how to comfort Lin Qingyuan now.

"Xiaoya, they will definitely find out about our past."

"The Ji Family will definitely force you to divorce Ji Wenyuan!"
