Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?
Chapter 25: There Must Be Something Wrong With This Drug
“You brat, you never focus on anything, and you are never interested in the company. It's okay, I'm not forcing you. Since you got married, you have always been emotional. I know that you don't feel good inside, but you can't mess around like this!"
“Dad, please trust me. Both of these companies have significant opportunities to make a profit in the next few years.”
Ji Hongwen was just about to say more but stopped in surprise.
This daughter was always so stubborn. Ever since his mother died and he remarried, he was even more disrespectful to her as a father. Rarely would they not end up fighting every time he called.
However, earlier he said, “Dad, please trust me.”
Such a sincere and courteous attitude was very different from the way Ji Nuan usually spoke…
Ji Hongwen was stunned for a moment, and his tone remained unfriendly. “Come back to Ji's house now and clean it all up. I'll send the driver to pick you up!"
“No need to pick me up. I'll drive myself." Ji Nuan's cold was healed. Originally, she planned to visit Xia Tian after changing into clothes. He slowly said, “Xia Tian was involved in a car accident a few weeks ago. Legs cracked. I'll stop by the hospital to visit him first.”
"good. Be careful with your safety while driving and do not let your guard down.” Although Ji Hongwen's tone of voice sounded as cold as before, his tone warmed slightly.
Ji Nuan smiled. “I'll be back before six. Father, don't forget to have Aunt Qin save food for me.”
“…”
Ji Hongwen was completely unaccustomed to facing such a gentle princess. After half a day, he still could not make a sound and directly hung up the phone.
...----------------...
It was past six o'clock in the evening when Ji Nuan drove back to Ji's house.
The car drove into the front yard of the Ji family's old residence. Ji Mengran was on the second floor balcony playing with her phone. When he saw Ji Nuan, he immediately put down his phone, glancing at her in surprise.
“Female sister? Why are you back?”
Ji Nuan did not seem to notice him. After parking the car, he went in.
Aunt Qin had already come out to greet him. “Firstborn, you're finally back. It's been months since I last saw you!”
"Aunt Qin, do you miss me?" Ji Nuan smiled as she reached out to hold Aunt Qin's elbow.
“Of course I miss you, how not? Mr. Ji said that you will be back for dinner tonight, so I specially made your favorite boiled ribs and steamed lotus root!” Aunt Qin happily patted her hands. "Since you came back, do you want to stay home for a few days?"
Ji Nuan had yet to reply when she saw her stepmother, Shen Heru, approaching as she stepped through the door.
Seeing that he had actually returned home, Shen Heru looked brightly smiling as he entered—pushed Aunt Qin aside—and pulled Ji Nuan's hand while saying, “Nuan Nuan, , if you still don't return, your father will have rushed to the Mo family that demands you.”
Ji Nuan glanced at him while coldly and calmly pulling his hand back. He turned to ask Aunt Qin, who had been pushed aside, "Where is my father?"
Aunt Qin hurriedly replied, "Master Ji felt unwell in the past few days. Earlier he said that he would return to his room to take medicine before getting off.”
Some medicine?
Ji Nuan's expression did not change, but she accelerated her steps towards the stairs.
“Ai, Nuan Nuan, don't argue with your father once you get back. Ai, son, why are you walking so fast.” Shen Heru nagged from below looked very reasonable, while turning to stare intently at Aunt Qin.
Aunt Qin retreated without saying anything more.
Ji Nuan quickly arrived outside the door of Ji Hongwen's room. Just as he was about to knock, he heard the sound of a glass of water being placed on the table and pushed the door open forcefully.
A hard "peng" came from door—
Ji Hongwen was holding two white pills as he turned to stare at Ji Nuan who suddenly barged in. He immediately frowned sadly. "How old are you? Do you know how to behave? Even when opening the door, you have to make so much noise!”
"Dad!" Ji Nuan walked over, stopping her from putting the pill in her mouth. "What medicine is this?"
Ji Nuan took the pill in her hand and took the small medicine bottle on the table, scanning it.
“This is the medicine that Aunt Shen had specially brought home from overseas when she went abroad some time ago. This is a complete set of body supplements. There are pills and tablets,” Ji Hongwen replied simply, looking at him sadly.
“Don't you say you'll be back before six? It's almost 6:30 at night! Bad feeling of time!”
“It was rush hour before; there was a traffic jam,” Ji Nuan explained as she continued to hold the pill bottle tightly.
In his previous life, he felt that his father had died very strangely.
Back then, because he was on bad terms with his family, he could not remain by his side in his final moments. He only managed to see her one last time before she died in the hospital and did not even have a chance to understand the cause of her death from the doctor. However, on his death certificate, it was written that the cause of death was respiratory failure and sudden cardiac arrest.
In his impression, his father's health was always very good. He was only fifty years old when he died. How could his health deteriorate dramatically in the span of a few years?
Even if the Ji family went bankrupt, leading to a series of misfortunes, the stress should not have affected him to the point where his heart stopped overnight, causing his death.
Back then, he was not at home and therefore it was not clear the situation. Earlier when she heard Aunt Qin say that she was taking her medicine in the room, Ji Nuan suddenly recalled this.
His father was not sick, why did he have to take medicine all of a sudden?
Shen Heru said that this is a supplement, is it true?
Ji Nuan did not forget that the Shen Heru family had some members who studied medicine and learned to produce it. It's definitely not simple.
“Why are you still holding my medicine? Quickly put!" Ji Hongwen stood up, pouting at Ji Nuan, "Also, the matter about those two companies, you better explain it well today!"
Ji Nuan raised her eyes, changed the subject and spoke seriously, “Daddy, can I take this medicine for a few days? I'll let the people from the state Food and Drug Administration check what's inside.”
Ji Hongwen frowned and angrily spat, “Omong is empty! What are you checking! I've been married to your Aunt Shen for several decades. And you even suspect the medicine he bought? No wonder even though the two of you called her Aunt Shen, Meng Ran and she were like a pair of mothers and children when you treated her like an enemy, never showing her the good side!"
The room door was suddenly pushed open again. Ji Mengran gently opened the door, stuck her head inside and asked with a face that looked obedient, “I just passed by and heard voices from the room. Dad, Brother, you just came back, and you two fought again?”
"It's none of your business, go!" Ji Hongwen glared at the door.
Ji Mengran let out an "Oh" sound and then gently closed the door again.
Although she was scolded by her father, Ji Mengran was not affected at all and was instead pleased with the disaster as she left.
Ji Nuan had just returned for a while, and she had already argued with their father. There will be a good show to watch tonight!
