Back at Yixinyuan, freed from the constraints of bodyguards, Ji Hancheng openly entered Tang Junyao's home on the 25th floor, dressed as a man.

The place he had always longed to climb over the wall to get into, he actually entered in this way today.

Tang Junyao's mind was filled with the bodyguard's words that he might not be able to save her, which kept playing in her ears on repeat, as well as the bloodstains on Xiaoyouzi's face and body.

Having been a doctor for so many years, she had never felt that the color of blood could frighten her so much, to the point that her scalp tingled.

Ji Hancheng followed her into the room and quickly scanned its layout. The house was large, but how come such a large house only had two rooms? The master bedroom was a bit large, and the second bedroom was also quite large, with two beds. It must be the nanny's room.

He bent down and gently placed the small pomelo on the ground, looking at the absent-minded woman, and said, "You help him take a bath, I'll make a phone call." He had to find something for her to do; she'd easily overthink if she just sat there.

After saying that, Tang Junyao picked up Xiaoyouzi and went to the master bedroom.

In the bathroom, she filled the bathtub with water and helped Xiaoyouzi take off her clothes one by one. The bloodstains stung her eyes again. She didn't know whose blood it was, whether it was Aunt Wu's or Aunt Zhang's, but it certainly wasn't Xiaoyouzi's.

Concealing the sadness on her face, she tried to force a smile, "Was Lele scared today?"

Little Yuzi's eyes darted around, as if she remembered Grandma Zhang's words, "Grandma said to protect."

Tears welled up in her eyes immediately, blurring her vision. Everything was so bright that even the image of Xiaoyouzi became blurry. She bathed her son by instinct.

Sniffing, Xiao Youzi noticed tears on his mother's cheeks and clumsily reached out his chubby little hands to help wipe them away. However, his hands were already wetter than her face in the bathtub, and after being wiped by her son, her cheeks were completely wet, making it impossible to tell whether it was more water or tears.

Ji Hancheng went to the familiar balcony to smoke, took out his phone and called his grandfather, getting straight to the point: "Grandpa, can I borrow someone?"

Old Master Ji on the other end of the line snorted in a deep voice, "You're short of people?"

He didn't want to argue with his grandfather today, so he said directly, "Something happened to her, so I asked Aunt Ji to come and help take care of her for a while. I don't trust the new one."

Grandpa Ji became agitated. He naturally knew who this "she" was. Who else could make his grandson so concerned? He could guess with his toes, "What happened?"

It's hard to explain in just a few words over the phone. "I'll talk to you after I've dealt with it. Please have Aunt Ji come to Yixinyuan first."

Grandpa Ji agreed without hesitation, "Okay, take good care of the girl."

After saying that, Ji Hancheng sent the unit and floor number to his grandfather.

After finishing a series of tasks, it was already 1:30 pm. Xiao Youzi was a little dizzy after taking a bath, so Tang Junyao made him 250ml of milk powder. He fell asleep while drinking it, before he had even finished the milk.

Now that both of her nannies have run into trouble, she's at a loss. She can only take some time off and then find another nanny. But Xiaoyouzi is very wary and finds it hard to accept strangers. If all else fails, she'll have to resign. No job or position is as important as her son, so she has to give up something.

It turns out that you can't always have your cake and eat it too.

The man who came in after finishing his call saw her sitting on the bed in a daze. He felt uneasy. He took off his suit jacket and threw it on the sofa. He walked towards her and slowly squatted down in front of her. He didn't hold her hand, afraid that she would be offended. He just squatted down in front of her and said softly, "Don't worry, things may not be the worst. I've called Aunt Ji from the Ji residence."

She hadn't expected him to act so quickly; she had just been thinking about the nanny.

Seeing that she didn't speak, he assumed she wanted to refuse. "Don't rush to refuse. I don't mean anything by it. If you really don't like the people here taking care of you, I'll have them leave as soon as you find someone suitable. But you can rest assured about one thing: Aunt Ji is a very conscientious person and won't mistreat her son. She's definitely more reliable than anyone you find outside. Aunt Ji has been in the Ji family her whole life; she's practically family. Hmm? Is that alright?"

She was silent for a moment, a thin mist rising in her eyes, which she held back from crying. She thought she could be strong and handle everything. "Thank you."

Seeing her holding back tears, his chest ached, and his heart clenched. So this was what it meant to love someone—to have your mood change because of their joys and sorrows. He stood up, took out a tissue, and gently wiped away her tears. "When Aunt Ji arrives, we'll go to the hospital. Everything will be taken care of." And I'm here too.

After a pause, he asked again, "Something happened to the Lan family's bodyguards. Should we tell your brother?"

Tang Junyao shook her head without hesitation. Others might not know the rules of the Lan family, but she did. As the bodyguard personally chosen by her brother, she had almost caused Xiaoyouzi's accident, and her brother might punish Baihu.

I remember once, Xixi stood up for a girl in college and got into a fight with a group of men. During the scuffle, Xixi was injured. Of course, by the time the bodyguard arrived, Xixi was already injured. Then the group started fighting, and the bodyguard also got a head injury. The other side had more people and suffered a loss.

However, after returning home, her brother still severely punished the bodyguard, even though the bodyguard was injured. At that time, Tang Junyao asked Xixi why the injured bodyguard was severely punished. Xixi said that this was the rule of the Lan family. If you fail to protect the person you are assigned to protect, you will be punished, no matter what your reason is. If the person you are protecting is injured, you have not fulfilled your duty. If you have put your heart into it, you can reduce the occurrence of this kind of thing.

What she said seemed to make sense, but it also felt a bit domineering. However, this was the Lan family's long-standing family rule, and she couldn't interfere. Her uncle and brother had their own ways of doing things.

Since Baihu was already injured, and Xiaoyouzi was safe, she decided not to let her brothers know, so as not to worry her uncles. She developed a sense of trust in Ji Hancheng, always feeling that he could handle things well.

"I'll listen to you." He was referring to the matter of the Lan family's bodyguards.

"Don't go to work for a while. I've arranged for you to take two weeks off. This car accident is serious. Stay home with your son until I find out the details. I'll send someone to protect you." This must never happen again.

The words "I'll listen to you" touched Tang Junyao's heart. It's always touching to have someone support you when you're feeling helpless.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood.

Because he had been protected by the Lan family's bodyguards, he didn't send any more people to avoid conflict with the Lan family's bodyguards and offending the Lan family's eldest brother-in-law, which would be a loss.

Aunt Ji arrived very quickly, in less than 20 minutes.

The doorbell rang, and Ji Hancheng got up to open the door. His wife, Ji, greeted him first, "Young Master."

He thought it was just Aunt Ji who came, so he stepped aside to let her in. But the first person to step in wasn't Aunt Ji, but his mother, Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu knew it wasn't very good to come uninvited, but she was still worried. After all, he was her grandson. "I'll lend a hand. You all go do what you need to do."

Yuan Shu felt guilty towards her son, so she came today with a purpose: to make amends through her grandson, which could also be considered an indirect way of making amends to her son.

Before coming, Grandpa Ji had already told her everything about his grandson. Yuan Shu didn't know how to face Tang Junyao now. Her son was extremely fond of her now, and after the incident, he stopped going to the company and left it directly to his father.

However, the two are divorced, and what's complicated is that they have a child. What should they be called?

So I simply went straight into the kitchen.

Ji Hancheng was silent for a moment, then turned and went into the master bedroom. "Sister-in-law Ji is here, let's go. Um... my mother is here too. If you feel uncomfortable, I'll tell her not to come again."

This is a classic case of forgetting one's mother after getting a wife.

She really hadn't expected Yuan Shu to come, but since he was already there, it wouldn't be good to turn him away in front of her. Besides, Yuan Shu didn't seem to have done anything to wrong her.

She didn't see Yuan Shu when she went out of the room. She looked around and found her in the kitchen. Since Yuan Shu didn't seem to be coming out, she didn't go to greet her.

Because she didn't know what to call her—Mrs. Ji, Aunt, Madam...

Aunt Ji greeted her politely, "Miss Tang, is there anything I should be careful about?"

Miss Tang?

Ji Hancheng's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at his wife, his face demanding an explanation.

Noticing the young master's sharp gaze, Aunt Ji straightened her back and said, "The master told me to call her Miss Tang from now on. He said that Miss Tang will be the Ji family's granddaughter from now on, and the Ji family happens to have no granddaughters." After reporting, the master's confidence was undeniable.

Grandpa is just causing trouble and making things difficult. I'm speechless.

Ji Hancheng: "If you don't know anything, just call. The formula and bottles are in the second bedroom." He had just scanned the room and found that most of the baby's things were in the second bedroom, while the clothes were in the master bedroom.

She was a little surprised when Ji Hancheng said the baby formula was in the second bedroom; when did he become so thoughtful?

Before leaving, Tang Junyao gave Ji Sao some instructions. As for Yuan Shu, she still didn't come out of the kitchen, as if she were just an auntie who came to cook.

When they got downstairs, he didn't get into the car immediately. Instead, he walked around to the front of the car, opened the passenger side door in advance, and waited for her to get in.

After she was seated, he got into the driver's seat, turned around and said, "Seatbelt." He added that he would definitely drop the "Ms. Tang" title once everything was settled.

Are you kidding me? The child's mother has become a god-sister? Has the grandfather lost his mind?

Tang Junyao fastened her seatbelt and sat there a little nervously. When she calmed down, the bloodstains on Xiaoyouzi's clothes would appear in her mind from time to time. Every spot was vivid in her mind, as if they were right in front of her.

He knew she was anxious, so he drove a few minutes faster than usual, and the car arrived at the hospital entrance in less than 20 minutes.
