208: Mr. Ji is discharged from hospital

That night, many people tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Song Yuan and Gu Shiyu, however, slept soundly.

The two of them stayed at the Old Residence for a night, while Ji Qingxue returned to their wedding room with Gu Shiyuan.

In the morning, Grandma Gu was practicing Tai Chi fan in the courtyard, and Song Yuan came back from his run and joined her for a while.

The Old Lady couldn't stop smiling,

"Song Yuan, after Shiyu gives birth, you must pass this good habit on to her. You young people sit in the office for long periods; you need exercise even more!"

Song Yuan recalled that before his wife got pregnant, they used to go swimming a few times a week at a set time.

Although they never actually swam, it still counted as exercise.

"Old Lady, we used to exercise regularly. After Shiyu gives birth, I'll take her with me."

The Old Lady nodded,

"When Gu Shiyuan's leg gets better, bring that boy along too."

"Alright."

After breakfast, Song Yuan first dropped Gu Shiyu off at her company, then returned to his own company.

On the way, the two chatted idly.

Song Yuan said,

"President Ji is being discharged today. I'm going to pick him up. Do you want to come?"

Gu Shiyu picked up her phone and looked at her work schedule for the day,

"I'm a bit busy this morning, but... I can have Gu Shiyuan fill in. Raise a younger brother for a thousand days, use him for a moment. Today, I'll let him handle things independently. At worst, I'll leave my assistant with him."

Song Yuan chuckled, saying,

"That's fine. He needs to be tempered. Your assistant has been with you for many years; he should be very capable. Let him venture out!"

Gu Shiyu had a change of heart,

"Then why should I go back to the company? I won't. I'll go with you to Fengxue Entertainment. We can leave together, saving you the trip to Hengyue to pick me up and wasting time on the road."

Song Yuan laughed, saying,

"Alright, if you don't mind being bored, you can stay in my office. President Ji is being discharged today; I have a premonition there will be big moves."

Gu Shiyu had thought of this point, preferring to push back her work rather than miss out. Since she was already involved in the Ji family's affairs, she decided to protect Ji Qingxue well.

If Ji City needed any assistance, they were willing to help.

Gu Shiyu immediately called Gu Shiyuan, telling him to take the driver's car to the company. There was a contract to sign that morning, a deal worth tens of millions, and the contract was already finalized.

If there were no other issues, he could sign it directly, which would be good practice for the boy.

Gu Shiyuan readily agreed over the phone.

Gu Shiyu followed Song Yuan directly to Fengxue Entertainment.

Song Yuan settled her into his office and had HR get her some water.

He then called everyone for a morning meeting to confirm the daily work progress.

Song Yuan timed it perfectly. An hour later, the meeting ended. He took a sip of water and returned to his office. Gu Shiyu was sprawled on his desk, munching on beef jerky.

She looked like a complete foodie.

Song Yuan felt a little like laughing. His wife was so cute. She seemed to have gained some weight recently, and her face was a bit rounder than before.

But he didn't dare to say these things; she would be unhappy if he did.

"Shiyu, we should go."

Gu Shiyu was so bored she was almost falling asleep. She perked up when she heard Song Yuan's voice,

"Are you done with work?"

"Yes, we can go now. Any later, and we might miss President Ji's discharge."

Song Yuan took the remaining snack bags for her, so she could eat them in the car if she got hungry.

He drove straight to the hospital.

At the hospital, Ji Qingxue ran up and down, completing all the discharge procedures.

Ji City's assistant drove the bulletproof car from the Ji family's garage to the ground floor.

Ji City changed into his usual suit. Despite being ill, his aura was undiminished.

Song Yuan and Gu Shiyu arrived just as Ji City was leaving his ward, preparing to go downstairs.

Gu Shiyu whispered,

"That was close; we almost missed picking him up."

Song Yuan handed over the flowers he bought,

"President Ji, congratulations on your recovery."

Ji City took them into his arms, then handed them to Ji Qingxue, who was standing nearby,

"Song Yuan, Xiao Gu, thank you for all your help with my family during this time. We may have to discuss work matters later. I need to go home first and deal with some family affairs."

He didn't say it explicitly, but everyone understood.

The score for Ji Qingxue being pushed into the artificial lake the day before yesterday hadn't been settled yet. Ji City would not allow anyone to openly harm his daughter in this world.

Song Yuan and Gu Shiyu responded,

"President Ji, if there's anything you need help with, please don't hesitate to tell us."

Song Yuan handed over a list of guests who attended the Old Lady's event that day,

"These are the names of the people who came to the Ji family that day. I've investigated all of them and included photos. Qingxue, you can take a look and see if you can match any of these faces from memory?"

Mentioning that day's incident made Ji Qingxue's blood boil. She took the document Song Yuan handed her. On the list, color-printed photos of the corresponding people were attached after their information.

She looked through each one, trying to recall the blurry faces in her mind.

But none of these faces matched.

"Brother Song Yuan, I'm really sorry to trouble you, but there shouldn't be anyone who pushed me here. Those people might not have been invited by Old Lady at all. They might have snuck in during the chaos, or perhaps they were assassins hired by someone!"

As she analyzed this herself, she felt a chill run down her spine, but the facts were clear: what happened that day was aimed at taking her life, and it wouldn't be simple.

Ji City was silent for a moment, then said,

"Our family has a traitor. All the servants in the Ji family need to be replaced, especially the butler."

After a brief chat outside, the few of them got into the cars.

Song Yuan drove his car, following Ji City towards Peninsula Villa.

At Number 13 Courtyard, three luxury cars drove in.

The bodyguards Ji City had his assistant find had already been disguised as landscapers, cleaners, and so on, and many had been placed inside over the past few days.

Even though he knew the company was in chaos, he still decided to deal with family matters first.

If the home was not peaceful, the company would be even more turbulent.

As soon as Ji City's car drove in, Madam Ji received the news.

The Old Madam was so anxious that she didn't even grab her walking stick, leaning on a servant and taking hurried steps towards the building where Ji City lived.

The house had already been thoroughly cleaned by the servants the day before.

Ji City sat on the sofa in the living room, having long anticipated that the Old Madam would be the first to come looking for him.

His task today was to deal with all these messy affairs.

The Old Madam entered with resentment, her eyes wide as she glared at Ji City, not caring that Song Yuan and Gu Shiyu, outsiders, were also present in the living room.

"Ji City, you don't put me, your mother, in your eyes at all now, do you? Song Liya, you have no respect for me, your mother-in-law, do you?

Your unfilial daughter talks back to me every day, and you two don't plan to educate her, do you?"

Ji City gave a bitter laugh,

"Mom, speak to me. My wife and daughter are not wrong. They once gave you ten parts of respect. Feelings between people are mutual. Have you ever given others respect?"

The Old Madam's aura was not weak at all,

"I am the elder of this family. No matter the occasion, they have no reason to talk back to me or get angry with me. You don't discipline them, and you come to accuse your own mother?"
