Chapter 166 Madam Ji Seeks Help

With no classes today, An Xiaoyue watched a video on CPR projected onto a screen in the living room on the first floor.

She needed to prepare for the medical skills competition, so Fu Shengyang went to Songtao Garden to keep his grandfather company.

After finishing the phone call, Aunt Cui put down her work of drying clothes and came downstairs to find her.

"Young Madam, the Old Master called to say that Madam Ji has arrived and requests your presence at Songtao Garden."

An Xiaoyue pressed the pause button. "I'm coming right away."

"I'll go with you." Aunt Cui was worried about her walking alone on the road.

The young mistress's belly was pointed, making her already thin legs appear even thinner. Cui Ma was afraid that she might not be able to stand firmly or accidentally slip and have an accident.

"No need." Fu Shengyang will definitely come to pick her up.

Cui's mother wanted to persist, but her eyes had already caught sight of a tall, slender figure outside the door.

The young master came to pick her up himself, so there was no need for her to escort the young mistress there.

An Xiaoyue also heard Fu Shengyang's footsteps as he walked up the steps, and she glanced at the doorway.

When I looked away, I met Cui Ma's meaningful eyes.

An Xiaoyue immediately lowered her eyelids, concealing her clear, watery eyes.

Aunt Cui smiled and said, "Since the young master has come to pick up the young mistress himself, I'll continue hanging up the clothes."

She deliberately emphasized the word "personally".

An Xiaoyue lowered her head and hummed in response.

When Fu Shengyang arrived, she put on her shoes and followed him.

"Why has Madam Ji come to our house?"

Previously, Madam Ji had called her several times to ask if she had time to have afternoon tea together because of Ji Yubai's situation, hoping to find out who Ji Yubai liked.

She politely declined them all.

The main reason was that she was always busy with things. First, she was busy reuniting with the Leng family, and then there was a school competition. In addition, Lingxi was indeed not in Beijing.

But this doesn't mean she didn't keep her promise to Madam Ji in mind. She was thinking that after finishing the medical skills competition, she would definitely go and see Madam Ji before giving birth.

But no one expected that Madam Ji would be so anxious, coming directly to Fu Garden to find her.

"He's probably still in a hurry. Ji Yubai can't live without Attorney Zhong. Even with a family-arranged marriage, he won't back down."

Fu Shengyang was also completely confused. Aunt Ji didn't say anything, only that she wanted to see Xiaoyue.

Ji Yubai is only a few days younger than him, turning 29 this year. Their marriage is still undecided, and their parents are getting old and worried that they might not have the chance in the future, which is why they are urging Ji Yubai to get married.

An Xiaoyue didn't understand Madam Ji's obsession. Why did she have to know who Ji Yubai liked?

“Lingxi has no such thoughts. Even if Madam Ji knows about Lingxi, it won’t help. Can she persuade or force Lingxi to marry Ji Yubai? Matters of the heart cannot be resolved by mere persuasion.”

Although An Xiaoyue didn't understand, when she stood in front of Madam Ji and saw Madam Ji's haggard appearance, she couldn't bring herself to say the same tough words she had just spoken.

“Aunt Ji.” An Xiaoyue noticed the dark circles under her eyes and called out softly.

"Xiaoyue, I'm so glad to finally see you." Madam Ji looked her up and down, and she was indeed as well-behaved and sweet as she had imagined.

"Aunt Ji, have you encountered something unpleasant lately?" An Xiaoyue asked with concern.

"It's all because of that brat Yu Bai. I really have no other choice. I just want to ask you to help my aunt and tell the girl Yu Bai likes not to say that she likes ambitious people. Yu Bai is too ambitious. He works from early morning to late at night every day. It makes me feel bad. I still prefer his carefree and irresponsible self. The current Yu Bai feels very unfamiliar to me."

As soon as Madam Ji opened her mouth, tears streamed down her face. She took a handkerchief and kept wiping them away, her voice breaking into sobs.

“He has been busy with work-related social engagements. His father advised him not to work so hard, but he said he should be an ambitious person and not rely on his family.”

"Last night, something really happened. He's lying obediently in the hospital now. The doctor said it was caused by drinking too much alcohol, which led to acute pancreatitis."

An Xiaoyue, being a medical student, naturally knew the dangers of acute pancreatitis. "Is President Ji in the intensive care unit or a regular ward?"

After crying for a while, Mrs. Ji felt better after venting her emotions. "He was admitted to the intensive care unit last night, but the doctor said this morning that he has passed the critical period. After the doctor finishes his work, he will be transferred to a regular ward this afternoon."

It took the three of them a moment to realize how serious the events of the previous day had been for the Ji family.

"Is Uncle Ji staying at the hospital?" Fu Shengyang asked.

Upon hearing this, An Xiaoyue glanced at Fu Shengyang and understood.

Fu Shengyang had told her that the two elders of the Ji family had a son, Ji Yubai, late in life.

During Ji Yubai's hospitalization, only his two elderly parents were there to help him.

She suddenly understood why Madam Ji came to Fu Garden to find her after Ji Yubai's accident.

With her only child lying in the intensive care unit, Mrs. Ji had nowhere to confide her worries and fears, so she came to Fu Garden.

"Yes." Mrs. Ji was moved. "Your uncle stayed up all night at the hospital."

He's usually the one who scolds Yu Bai the most, but when something happens to the child, it's this strict father who's the most worried and afraid.

"I'll pack up and go to the hospital to take care of Yu Bai. You and Uncle Ji should also take care of yourselves."

Madam Ji's tears welled up again; true friendship is revealed in times of adversity.

"Shengyang, thank you, Auntie." Madam Ji said, squeezing Fu Shengyang's hand tightly.

It's her fault for not being lucky enough to have another child; otherwise, she wouldn't be in this situation now.

In Fu Shengyang's heart, Madam Ji had once given him motherly warmth and love.

He patted Mrs. Ji on the shoulder to soothe her, saying, "I happen to be on vacation at home."

After a while, Madam Ji's tears finally stopped.

Looking at An Xiaoyue's pointed belly, she roughly guessed why Sheng Yang was on vacation at home.

"Xiaoyue, I'm sorry for bothering you so much before." She apologized, admitting that she had repeatedly failed to consider the pregnant woman's needs and only thought about her own son; it was her lack of consideration.

“I understand that your aunt has already gone.” An Xiaoyue hugged Madam Ji, hoping to offer her some comfort and warmth in her moment of helplessness.

Madam Ji was open and honest, which made An Xiaoyue feel a little guilty. She secretly told herself that she should try to see things from other people's perspectives more often in the future.

As for Ji Yubai's illness, she wouldn't tell Zhong Lingxi.

If Lingxi likes Ji Yubai, she definitely won't sit idly by.

Even if Ji Yubai drank himself to death today, Lingxi would not say she liked him against her will if she didn't like him.
