Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

After lunch, Han Yue received a call from Manager Tiss saying that Miss Wei had encountered a problem and he needed to handle it.

After hanging up the phone, she said a few words to Ji Hancheng and walked away without giving Lu Jinnan a second glance.

Lu Jinnan, his face dark with worry, was left in Ji Hancheng's room pondering. "Young Master Ji, do you think Young Master Han would actually like men? He hasn't had a woman by his side for so many years. I really suspect he has a problem in that area."

Ji Hancheng continued looking at the documents and signing his name, saying casually, "You're overthinking it. Even if he likes men, you're not his type. Someone like you won't pique his interest. You should focus your attention on Miss Su. You haven't brought back a single useful piece of information in all these days."

Lu Jinnan was indignant about this, and he insisted on pulling out a useful piece of information, "I actually have some information. First, transfer the medical expenses to me."

Ji Hancheng's eyes showed a hint of doubt. He took out his phone with some hesitation. Lu Jinnan was eager to know how much money this guy was going to give him. "You're being discharged this afternoon." This guy is too noisy. Staying in his hospital room every day is hindering his plans.

"If I'm discharged from the hospital, how am I supposed to gather intelligence for you? I still need to take revenge. I won't leave the hospital."

Ji Hancheng threatened calmly, "Fine, I'll tell your mother you like men."

Lu Jinnan squinted and rubbed his cheeks, "Damn, you're ruthless." It's easy to imagine how much Lu's mother values ​​the matter of Lu's daughter-in-law. If you hit the snake where it hurts, and your mother misunderstands your preferences, things will turn upside down.

Lu's mother went to great lengths to find a wife for Lu Jinnan. She pushed Lu's father to work overtime at the company and made Lu Jinnan live in the hospital to retire early, all for one purpose: to find a wife he liked. If she were told at the last minute that Lu Jinnan liked men, even if it was a lie, Lu's mother would probably call 120 (emergency services).

"Fine, you win. Pay up." Even brothers keep clear accounts; the loss I suffered this morning can't be left unpunished.

The unscrupulous businessman Ji Hancheng wasn't so easily persuaded. "Tell me the information first, and I'll decide how much to pay based on its value. I'll transfer the money to you when you get home this afternoon."

"Could you be any more cunning? Fine, I mentioned your name a few days ago, and Su Xue really dislikes your presence."

Ji Hancheng frowned slightly. What did it mean to dislike his existence? Did it mean he wanted him to die?

After a pause, Lu Jinnan said helplessly, "It's probably because what you did before was unreliable, and you're already on your sister-in-law's blacklist. Also, Su Xue said that you're not good enough for their Yao Yao now. Everyone needs a strong support system. Do you know who your sister-in-law's support system is?"

Ji Hancheng smiled slightly and raised an eyebrow. "I know."

Lu Jinnan leaned forward slightly and asked curiously, "Do you know who is so powerful that you're not even worthy of them?"

"What's it to you?" he said dismissively.

Lu Jinnan found Ji Hancheng's behavior very unusual. Just a few days ago, he had been encouraging him to gather intelligence, but today he seemed uninterested and didn't seem to care much. What was going on? A thought flashed through her mind, "Did you apologize to your sister-in-law?"

"Hmm." His usual concise response.

"You didn't even apologize to me, and I got beaten up this morning. You have to pay double the medical expenses." If Ji Hancheng had told him, I wouldn't have gotten beaten up this morning. My face probably wouldn't be smooth for ten days or half a month. I'm so upset.

Ji Hancheng wasn't going to take the blame. "You got beaten up because you were foul-mouthed, not because of me. I can give you some money for medical expenses at my discretion. As for revenge, whoever hit you, go find them. Do you even have the guts?"

Lu Jinnan was provoked, "I said I'd make her kneel at my feet, just you wait and see, there's nothing I can't handle."

Lu Jinnan rambled on for a while before Ji Hancheng ruthlessly kicked him out. He packed his things and left the hospital.

When she got home, she even took a picture of Ji Hancheng lying down at home, with the caption, "Here's the money."

With a ding, I received 1000 yuan in WeChat income.

Lu Jinnan thought he had misread it, so he sat up, rubbed his eyes, counted the zeros after the 1, confirmed it was 1000, and then blurted out a national treasure before calling Ji Hancheng directly, "Young Master Ji, do you think this number is appropriate?"

The person on the other end calmly said, "I added 200 too much, keep the change."

Lu Jinnan angrily threw his phone down, muttering under his breath, "Don't let it fall into my hands."

One o'clock in the afternoon.

"Thump, thump, thump..." The sound of his cane hitting the ground indicated that Old Master Ji, escorted by his bodyguards and butler, had arrived at the door of room 1314. He stopped and instructed, "You stay at the door, I'll go in and take a look."

Butler Ji replied respectfully, "Yes, sir."

Instantly, two bodyguards stood at the door, their hands clasped in front of them, standing ramrod straight, giving off a serious aura. The nurses dared not chat anymore. They knew that the patient in room 1314 was special, but seeing it with their own eyes still touched them a little.

When Grandpa Ji pushed open the door, he saw Xu Mingkai playing on his phone on the sofa. Upon seeing Grandpa Ji enter, he immediately stood up and said, "Grandpa."

He glanced at his grandson working on the bed and said, "Yeah, you've worked hard."

Xu Mingkai was very sensible. Having stayed in the Ji family for so many years, he naturally felt that the old man had something to say to Young Master Ji. "It's no trouble at all. I'll wait outside, sir. Call me if you need anything."

The old man was pleased, "Xiao Xu is so sensible. You should learn from others how to be perceptive."

Xu Mingkai gave an awkward laugh. How could he let the young master learn from him? Before leaving, he pulled up a chair and placed it by the bed for Old Master Ji to sit on, and then left the room discreetly.

Grandpa Ji, leaning on his cane, slowly sat down, looking at his grandson who was signing the papers on the bed with utmost seriousness. "You've stayed for so many days, what are the results yet?"

After signing the last document, Ji Hancheng straightened his long, slender fingers, put down the black pen, leaned back on the bed, and shifted his gaze from the document to the old man. "Grandpa, what kind of effect do you want?"

Old Master Ji, exasperated, slammed his cane down, the crisp sound echoing through the ward with a menacing tone. "Is this the effect I wanted? You need to understand what your ultimate goal is!"

"Remarry."

Grandpa Ji felt a little less disgusted with his grandson. He wasn't stupid after all; he finally knew what he wanted to do. But he still sighed, "It's good that you know what you want. You're not like a headless fly. All these days you haven't achieved anything, so it's useless. Can't you just give in? If you're discharged, where will you get so many opportunities to get close to the girl? You can't just stay here like an idiot forever."

Ji Hancheng: "............" Is Grandpa really his biological son? He's already making progress, you know.

After a long pause, he managed to stammer out, "I apologized, but she... hasn't forgiven me yet."

Grandpa Ji finally managed a slight smile, the marks of time etched on his face. "That's more like it. Slow and steady wins the race. You hurt that girl so deeply, how could she forgive you so easily? Not hitting you is a good start. Keep trying, and don't do anything rash. What do you do every day now? You're not just standing there waiting for your wife, are you?"

He coughed awkwardly. The pursuit of his wife was a long and arduous journey, and he even needed his grandfather's supervision. It was somewhat embarrassing to face the situation directly. "Ahem, let's deliver the flowers."

After thinking about it, Grandpa Ji agreed, "Hmm, it's a bit old-fashioned, but at least it makes you stand out. You didn't sign your name, did you?"

Ji Hancheng shook his head. The app stated that not signing his name would leave a good impression on her and make her feel that her thoughts were being considered.

The old man was a little incredulous at his grandson's sudden enlightenment. "Have you been taking any emotional intelligence training courses lately?" Logically speaking, his grandson was a straightforward man, and giving gifts quietly was not his style.

When the old man guessed correctly, Ji Hancheng's eyes darted around a little, but he still lied, "No, I'm in the hospital every day, where would I go for training?"

Grandpa Ji thought about it and agreed. "Hmm, you've finally come to your senses. In the future, put the girl's thoughts first when you're doing things. Don't always put yourself first. You're not that important."

Ji Hancheng was speechless. "Grandpa, are you sure you came to see me, or not to annoy me?"

"If I didn't come to see you, who would I have come to see? You heartless wretch! Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm going back for my afternoon nap. Keep up the good work." The old man slowly got up, leaning on his cane, and walked briskly towards the door, not giving his good-for-nothing grandson another glance.

As they reached the door, the butler said, "Master, the young mistress is in her office." His voice was so low that only the two of them could hear him.

"Okay, I'll go check. Don't give anything away. Call Dr. Tang."

When they reached the door, Old Master Ji politely knocked, his voice loud and kind, "Is Dr. Tang here?" The butler and bodyguard couldn't help but admire the old man's acting skills; he was pretending to be completely amnesiac and not recognize the young mistress.

Tang Junyao turned her head at the sound and was startled, but quickly remembered that Grandpa Ji was calling her Dr. Tang.

She immediately stood up and walked to the door. The old man spoke first, "Dr. Tang, I'd like to talk to you about my grandson's condition. Is that convenient?"

Tang Junyao smiled as she watched Grandpa Ji's serious demeanor. "Convenient."

As they reached the corner at the end of the corridor, bodyguards and the butler stood guard, preventing anyone from getting close. "Girl, isn't Grandpa's acting worthy of an Oscar?"

Tang Junyao chuckled. Grandpa Ji was truly kind and adorable. "Grandpa Ji, you're amazing, thank you." She was grateful that the old man hadn't exposed their relationship in public, thus preserving her dignity. Otherwise, if the hospital staff had found out, who knows what rumors would have circulated.

It's unlikely to be much better; at worst, they'll be looked down upon by wealthy families, or abandoned after rising to power through dubious means.

The old man knew what her "thank you" meant, and smiled, his face etched with the marks of time. "No need to thank Grandpa, it's what Grandpa should do. It's not easy for you working at the hospital, and there are always troubles in crowded places. How could Grandpa cause you any trouble? Why didn't you come to see Grandpa when you came back?"

Tang Junyao paused for a moment and then said, "Grandpa Ji, I..."

The old man interrupted her, "If you feel it's not appropriate, that's fine. From now on, we can meet outside and bring the little one along so I can meet him."

Tang Junyao suddenly looked up, her eyes wide with shock. She suspected that the old man knew the truth, and that Ji Hancheng might be...

The old man saw fear in her eyes and began to comfort her, "As long as it's your child, it doesn't matter who the father is, Grandpa will accept him."

At this moment, Tang Junyao was unsure whether the old man knew or not.

She didn't refuse the old man's request, and said, "Okay."

"You've suffered, it's the Ji family's fault. You're a good child. Whether you forgive that brat or not is your decision, Grandpa won't interfere. Well, it's a deal between us, you and the little guy will bring him to see me later."

Tang Junyao smiled and nodded. The old man was already over 80 years old. She didn't know his exact age, but she didn't know how much longer he could live in this world. It would be good for Xiaoyouzi to see him.
