Upstairs, Ji Xinyu was massaging her sister's legs. At that moment, she was very glad that she had chosen such a major. Her mother was a neurosurgeon who could check on her sister's condition at any time, and she was an orthopedic surgeon who could help her sister check the injuries on her hands and legs.

There was a few knocks on the door. After all, Lu Qingchen and Su Can at the door were both men, so it was important to be mindful of certain things. "Come in."

After Ji Xinyu finished speaking, she hid her sister's hand under the blanket.

She stopped crying, took a nap, and told herself to be strong, not to give up, and to share her parents' grief. When she turned around and saw the two of them, she said, "Why are you back too?"

Lu Qingchen walked quickly. As soon as he saw the injured Ji Xinhan, his gentle face immediately turned cold, as if covered with frost. He complained to Ji Xinyu, "Damn it, are we still friends? Couldn't you have just made a phone call for such a big thing for a few cents?"

Ji Xinyu originally wanted to explain that she also found out last night, but seeing the tense faces of the two, she didn't want to explain anymore. Both Lu Qingchen and Su Can were frowning, their brows so furrowed that they could trap flies. Su Can, who was usually very talkative, was just staring at Hanhan with his lips tightly pursed.

"Aren't you supposed to get out of school tomorrow?" Ji Xinyu's tone was flat, revealing no emotion, as if Hanhan really was just asleep.

This was the first time Lu Qingchen had seen Ji Xinhan so badly injured. In his memory, Ji Xinhan never cried. She was always cheerful and in high spirits, like she was on steroids. She could even throw a punch every now and then. He felt a little nostalgic. Thinking about it made his heart ache.

He pulled up a chair and sat down beside her, glancing at Ji Xinhan's face, which was covered in bruises and injuries. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke, trying to provoke her, "Didn't you say you wouldn't get hurt? Didn't you say you were indestructible? Invulnerable to swords and spears? You were just spouting nonsense. You've been proven wrong, haven't you? You weakling, if you've got the guts, get up and hit me."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Ji Xinyu smiled and reminded her, "Hanhan is just asleep. She heard everything you said. Be careful she doesn't bring up old grievances when she wakes up."

Lu Qingchen continued to provoke him, hoping that Ji Xinhan would suddenly get up and beat him up. At this moment, he felt itchy all over. "What kind of skill is it to bring up old grudges? Ji Xinhan, if you have the guts, then hurry up and get up and beat me up. I'll give you three moves."

Su Can, who is usually glib and can even make the dead seem alive, was speechless this time. He just stared blankly at Hanhan, his brows furrowed ever since he came in. His mind was filled with images of Hanhan chasing and hitting him, and the more he thought about it, the more upset he became.

Ji Xinyu's eyes flickered, "When Hanhan wakes up, even if she gives you a one-handed handicap, you might not be able to beat her, right, sis?"

The three of them stayed in the room for about two hours. Su Can occasionally said a few words, but it was mostly Lu Qingchen and Ji Xinyu who chatted.

Before leaving, as Lu Qingchen reached the door, he turned to Ji Xinyu, who was secretly wiping away tears, and said, "Cell phones aren't just for show. Call us if you need anything. We always keep our phones on."

Ji Xinyu didn't say anything, but just nodded silently.

Since Xixi said her parents were coming, Tang Junyao and Ji Hancheng decided not to sleep and waited in Hanhan's room.

Before 1 a.m., the Lan family pushed open the gate of the Ji residence and went straight upstairs without even carrying their suitcases. The leader was Lan Chumu, followed by Shen Muyun, Lan Yunchen, Yan Na, and Lan Zhiyu.

The door was pushed open, and everyone in the room turned around and stood up at the same time, saying, "Uncle, Aunt, Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law."

Shen Muyun walked over and hugged Yao Yao with heartache, unable to bear to scold her, "You child... how could you not say anything?"

Everyone stood by Hanhan's bedside. Lan Zhiyu called out softly, but when the person on the bed did not respond, he frowned. After everyone had looked at Hanhan, their expressions were not good.

Lan Chumu's eyes were also covered with a layer of mist, which he gently wiped away with his hand.

Ji Hancheng explained Hanhan's condition in detail. Lan Chumu nodded, her feelings complicated. Lan Yunchen was in low spirits and patted Ji Hancheng on the shoulder, saying, "It's all up to us. Even if we have to give everything, we can wake Hanhan up."

Yan Na patted her son's head, who was also looking downcast. "You stay here with Hanhan for a while. Dad and Mom will go downstairs to discuss something."

Tang Junyao stepped out of her aunt Shen Muyun's embrace, apologetically asking, "Sister-in-law, why did you let Xiaoyu come along? Doesn't he have school tomorrow?"

Yan Na explained, "As soon as the child heard that Hanhan was in trouble, he asked Yunchen to help him ask for leave. It's okay, he has plans."

Lan Zhiyu has always been self-disciplined. He never does anything without a plan. Even if something happens unexpectedly, he has a way to make amends. This is something he completely inherited from Lan Yunchen. He is always prepared for a rainy day and has a good plan.

Ji Xinyu, Ji Jiale, and Lu Yiyue all came over. No one in the entire villa was asleep. Soon after, Yuan Shu and Ji Hang also arrived.

After Lu Yiyue called over the Lan family, everyone moved downstairs. Lan Yunchen and Ji Hancheng were discussing solutions. Before coming, Lan Yunchen had contacted many overseas neurosurgeons and spent a lot of money to invite them. They would come to the capital one after another tomorrow to diagnose Hanhan.

In fact, Ji Hancheng knew that no matter how many came, it would be the same; Hanhan wouldn't wake up immediately. Three groups of doctors who had come to see Hanhan in the past few days had already left, and the results were all the same.

He didn't want to refuse his brother-in-law's good intentions, and he also harbored a sliver of hope that he might encounter a Hua Tuo (a legendary Chinese physician).

A gentle person is gentle no matter when or what age they are, and Shen Muyun is like that right now. She speaks softly and gently, still wearing a plain cheongsam, with one-third of her hair tied up and secured with a hairpin. "Xixi and Xiaoyue were planning to come over, but I told them they don't need to."

Tang Junyao nodded, took her aunt Shen Muyun's hand, and looked at Lan Yunchen, "Brother, thank you."

Lan Yunchen glared at his younger sister, feigning anger. "I haven't even criticized you yet. If Xixi hadn't told you, were you planning to keep it a secret for a few more days? The older you get, the bolder you become."

Tang Junyao lowered her head guiltily, her brother guessing her thoughts. Yan Na knew that Yunchen wasn't really criticizing Yaoyao, but rather feeling sorry for her. She nudged Lan Yunchen and gave him a look. "Yaoyao, your brother is just worried about you, afraid you'll overthink things. But in the future, you still need to inform us about everything. There is a distance between Lancheng and the capital, but that distance won't be a reason for us not to come. Hanhan's matter is more important than anything else. Not just Hanhan's matter, every child is more important than the company."

Yan Na spoke with absolute certainty, and every word she uttered conveyed what the Lan family wanted to say. Sure enough, the next second Lan Yunchen spoke up, his expression serious, "Remember what your sister-in-law said, there can't be a next time."

Tang Junyao assured her, "I understand, it won't happen again."

Ji Hang had a blanket covering his knees. "Chu Mu, thank you for your hard work."

"If something happens to our own child, we will rush back to see them no matter where we are. Isn't our whole life's hard work for our children?"

Ji Hang nodded in agreement, thinking to himself that it was a blessing for his son to have Yao Yao as his daughter-in-law; such a family was not common.

They say true friendship is revealed in times of trouble, and Lele's daughter-in-law is good too. Yueyue stays by Lele's side day and night. Several times at night, they saw this girl getting up to stay with her grandson and granddaughter in their room. During the day, they went out together. Ji Hang and Yuan Shu have seen it all.

Yuan Shu wasn't a talkative person, but she could chat with Shen Muyun for a while, mainly because Shen Muyun was easy to get along with and it was comfortable to talk to her.

An hour later, Ji Hancheng told everyone to go and rest. The Lan family always kept rooms at the Ji residence and the Han family residence, and they would clean them regularly.

The next day, the doctors that Lan Yunchen had found successively diagnosed Hanhan, and as Ji Hancheng had expected, the results were all the same. His mood was not greatly affected, and he had already accepted it.

In contrast, the Lan family members were much more depressed. Shen Muyun turned away and wiped away her tears after hearing the diagnosis, and Yan Na also frowned, never expecting this result.

After the doctor left, Tang Junyao sent Lele and Yueyue to work. There was no point in having so many people around; Hanhan would probably need some time to process things before waking up.

They just didn't know if this timeframe was a week, a month, or a year...

All we can do is wait.

Tang Junyao: "Sister-in-law, why don't you take Xiaoyu to see Aunt Yan? Aunt Yan must miss Xiaoyu."

Yan Na did have this plan; she intended to visit her parents' home and then return. "Then I'll come back later."

"It's alright. You're rarely back, so spend more time with your aunt."

Lan Yunchen: "I'll take your sister-in-law there and be right back."

Tang Junyao nodded, not daring to contradict her brother.

Finally, Tang Junyao invited her aunt and the others to visit the Han family for a while. She didn't want everyone to stay at the Ji residence because of Hanhan's situation, feeling depressed. After a few days, she and Ji Hancheng came to terms with it. As long as there was hope, it was fine to just wait.

Yan Na and Lan Yunchen took their son to the Yan family home, while the Lan family couple went to the Han family home to find Han's mother.

That evening, the Ji residence was unusually lively; the original somber atmosphere had lessened considerably, and a different atmosphere had emerged.

Downstairs, Han Yue, Lan Yunxi, Su Xue, Lu Jinnan, Yan Na, Lan Yunchen, Yan Feifei, Han Guoguo, and Su Yu were all drinking tea and chatting.

Yan Zhun came once during the day, but didn't come over in the evening because Feng Xiaoni was away on a business trip.

Upstairs, it was a different scene altogether. A large table had been moved into Hanhan's room, and several people were playing cards, specifically a game of Double Deduction. Ji Xinyu and Lu Qingchen were on one team, while Han Yichen and Su Can were on the other. The other people were sitting and watching, and all the children were huddled together, forming a circle around the table.

Everyone cried when they arrived, and Han Yinuo cried the most. Her eyes were as shallow as Lan Yunxi's, and she was easily moved.

After everyone had finished crying, Lu Qingchen disliked the atmosphere. It felt like Hanhan had left. She was just asleep; they should have used a cheerful atmosphere to wake her up.

He simply couldn't believe that this lively girl could sleep for so long without getting up and playing with them.

That's how this card game came about.

Han Yichen scratched his head, feeling that his cousin's card skills weren't very good, and complained, "Do you even know how to play? I've already used up all my points, and if this keeps up, I'll get double-defeated."

Su Can was constantly arranging the cards in his hand, feeling that his younger brother was being a bit noisy. "Stop making noise, let me see. You're messing up my train of thought."

Han Yichen was very worried about Su Can's card skills. A few cards kept falling out of the hand he was holding, as if he were playing with his cards face up. He couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, are you any good?"

Everyone laughed at the mention of "cousin". Yan Shaoyu was more honest, "Brother Can's hands are a bit too full to hold the cards, there are too many, and there's a 2 stuck in the middle."

Su Can's card-playing skills are actually not very good. He probably inherited Guo Guo's skills. Guo Guo also really has no talent in card skills. Every time they play, Su Yu cheats so that Guo Guo can win.

Guoguo can only win if she cheats relentlessly.
