Chapter 1459: Who understood whom?
Pei Ge left the girl’s ward; Ji Ziming, who was waiting with the others outside, quickly pulled her in his arms when he saw her come out of the room . “What did she tell you?”
She laughed, appearing to be secretive . “Nothing much . ”
Du Chunlan dashed right in . Feeling the man’s intimidating aura, the director followed the mother into the room . This left the couple by themselves in the corridor .
“Let’s go; I’ll tell you once we’re back at my ward . ” She gripped the man’s hand and led him in the direction of the lift .
When they reached the VVIP ward, the man hugged her from behind . His cold gaze met her beautiful eyes as he asked aloofly, “Are you challenging me?”
“I don’t dare . That girl is so filial and intelligent . I hope that when she grows up, she can stay by our side and work under us . ”
“That’s all?”
“That’s all . Do you think that Niu Niu would be rude to me?” Her cunning eyes baffled the man .
“Ziming, I want to visit Hong Qiang over the next few days . ” She put her head against his shoulder .
“Alright . We’ll wait for him to consider it for a few days first . We’ll visit him again once he grows impatient . ”
“Mhm . My thoughts exactly . ”
Madam Ji brought her grandson to visit Pei Ge the next morning . The moment Ji Chi entered the ward, he could not wait to get to his mother’s side and even lightly touched her bandaged calf .
His mother was having porridge, while his father, who was sitting at one side, saw his action . The man’s brows twitched, but he remained silent .
“Pei Ge, did the doctor tell you how long it’ll take for your leg to recover?”
“Mom, there’s a saying that goes: ‘It takes a hundred days to recover from a pulled muscle or bone fracture’; Pei Ge’s injury requires her to rest well . We’ll head back back once she recovers enough . ” The man was settling company matters using his tablet PC when he spoke . His secretary forwarded all the contracts which required his signature to be printed and sent to their business partners thereafter .
“Hey, is the pork ribs soup tasty? I got a well-known chef from one of the best restaurants in the capital to prepare it for you . ”
“Thank you, auntie . ” Looking at the soup in the container, the grease floating at the top made her nauseous .
“Then, why aren’t you drinking?” Pei Ge finished the porridge but left the pork ribs soup untouched .
“I just had breakfast, and I’m not hungry anymore, so I’m keeping it for later . ”
She found a reasonable excuse for her action .
“Really?” The older woman did not really believe her because the expression on the latter’s face was one of disdain and unwillingness .

“Really, mom . When I wanted to drink some of the soup you brought over before, she wouldn’t even let me have a sip . ” The man lifted his head and shot his son, who was next to his mother, a glance . “You’ve been visiting your mommy lately, so why haven’t you thought of bringing something for her?”
“Hey, don’t scare Ping An,” reminded his woman softly .
“Why aren’t you speaking?” He merely kept his dark eyes on his son . The coldness in them seemed capable of freezing the boy over .
“I-I…” The lad stammered .
“You don’t have to bring me anything . It’s okay; I’m already very happy that you always visit me . ” Pei Ge put down her utensils, unable to fathom why the man was treating their son like this .
“Ge Ge, I’m just teasing our son . Must you be so overprotective?” The corners of Ji Ziming’s lips curled up, and the openness of his face showed that he was not in a bad mood .
“Alright, alright . You’re always pulling Baby’s leg . ”
Madam Ji defended her grandson and pouted at her son . “Mom doesn’t object to you accompanying Pei Ge here at the hospital, but you should still give Jingwan a call . I know that you’ll just say that that ‘daughter-in-law’ was chosen by me, but as my son, could you bear to see me and that young lady at odds with each other because of you?”
“Why don’t I give her older brother a call tonight, instead? Will that work for you?”
The man lowered his head and continued to work on the files he had in hand . He could not continue reading the sentences on the documents . He could not allow Qu Jingwan to continue staying in Ji family especially after knowing her ulterior motive . He did not even want to give her a second glance, let alone hearing her voice .

“Fine . I’ll go back and tell her that . You have no idea that these few days you’re not home, she’s been drinking outside . It’s always our driver picking her up when she’s too drunk to go home by herself . It’s our family who’s doing her wrong . ”
“Our family isn’t doing her wrong . ” The iciness in his voice could be felt .
“You’re the one who chose to keep her around . Though it’s for Baby’s sake, you still agreed to it . Plus, she’s our family’s publicly acknowledged, future daughter-in-law . No matter where she goes, her face represents ours . I just don’t wish for anything to happen to our family because of her . ”
“Mom, if anything happens, I can settle it . ”
“Since you can settle everything, what’s this situation with Jingwan? Why don’t I see you handling it properly?”
His mother’s retort caused the iciness in his eyes to intensify along with the darkening of his aura .
“Mom, you still don’t know what sort of person she is . ”
“I still don’t know? I still don’t know?” asked the older woman repeatedly . She personally chose that lady for her daughter-in-law and he opted to keep the missy around . Now, he’s saying that I don’t understand; who’s the one who doesn’t understand in the end? Between us, Who left that lady at home and made me to be the one who doesn’t understand?
“You’ll know next time . ” Ji Ziming decided not to argue with his mother over this . He walked to his woman’s side, flipped open the blanket, and carried her down the bed . He then placed her in the wheelchair . “You delivered what you wanted to deliver and saw the person you sought to visit . It’s time for you to head back home . I’ll take Pei Ge down for a breather . She hasn’t left her room for two days now . ”
“Then, take good care of her; I’m bringing Baby back home . ” Seeing how her son was acting, the older woman also did not wish to stay here longer . After all, it was not her style to fight with her son in front of this woman and her grandson .

“Mhm . ”
The man hummed aloofly . He did not even turn to look at his mother during the one- or two-second wait for the glass door to open .
“Pei Ge, I’m heading back home . I won’t visit you over the next two days . I’ll be bringing my grandson out to play; is that okay?”
“Auntie, you don’t have to visit me every day . I’m already overwhelmed . If you want to bring him out, go ahead . Ping An needs to be in a good mood, so I support it . ”
“It’s good that you support it; then, I’ll take my leave now . ”
The older woman left her ward with the boy . The glass door opened and closed . The man did not push her out of the room . After making sure that the grandmother-grandson pair had reached the ground floor via the elevator, he pushed her back to the bed and put her on it .
“You should give Qu Jingwan a call . ” Pei Ge looked at him with her beautiful eyes . The slight smile on her lips did not escape his eyes .
