Chapter 317 The Painful Past (24)
Wen Li never imagined that the boy who used to wear tattered clothes and couldn't even afford breakfast would turn into a rich man with a big company at home in the blink of an eye.
Wen Li followed Ji Tingyang to Ji's house, her pupils dilated slightly as she looked at the extravagant and luxurious villa.
"This, is this really your home?" Her eyes were full of disbelief.
The last time she met Ji Tingyang in the villa area, she didn't take it seriously. She thought she was here to work part-time like herself. She never expected that he actually lived here.
Just when Wen Li was stunned, the housekeeper came over with a glass of water and said, "Miss Wen, please drink water."
Wen Li was at a loss for a moment and took the cup from the housekeeper in a panic, "Thank you, thank you..."
The housekeeper smiled at her and then walked to the backyard to continue taking care of the newly planted flower beds.
From the corner of his eye, he occasionally glanced secretly into the living room. When he saw the gentle expression on Ji Tingyang's face, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He used to work at Ji Yiyun's house, and he knew about the Ji family's affairs, and he felt very sorry for their three children.
Especially Ji Tingyang, as the eldest brother, is only a few years older than his younger siblings, but he has to shoulder such a heavy responsibility, and his face always shows a cold determination that does not match his age.
Because he didn't trust them, when Ji Yiyun's villa was sold, he took the initiative to ask Ji Tingyang to work in the Ji family.
Now that I see Ji Tingyang taking the initiative to bring friends to play at home, I always feel relieved that the child has grown up.
The eldest young master is finally no longer withdrawn, and his face is no longer cold.
The housekeeper happily took care of the flower garden, secretly deciding to treat Miss Wen better in the future and let her continue to be friends with the eldest young master.
In the living room.
After more than ten minutes of calming down, the shock in Wen Li's eyes had receded, and she put on a full smile again, "Your home is so beautiful, I must feel good living here every day."
"If you want, you can come and live together." Ji Tingyang said.
"Ah?" Wen Li was stunned, and then the smile on her face froze, "Don't make such a joke."
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious." Ji Tingyang's dark eyes were deep.
Wen Li's eyes flickered unnaturally, and she changed the topic hastily, "This vase is so beautiful."
Although she didn't look at Ji Tingyang, she could feel his hot gaze on her, which made her panic.
Because she had a part-time job next, Wen Li only stayed at Ji's house for a while and then left.
Ji Tingyang looked at her leaving back with a trace of annoyance in his eyes, worried that she would alienate him because of his actions just now.
However, it was not as Ji Tingyang feared. Wen Li still got along with him as before and would still send him messages to complain about what happened in school.
Ji Tingyang also breathed a sigh of relief.
This day.
Ji Tingyang was doing work in the company. After flipping through the documents on the table, he frowned.
I missed a document when I went out today.
Ji Tingyang took out his mobile phone and was about to call the housekeeper when his fingertips paused in mid-air.
The housekeeper is not at home today on leave.
Ji Zeqiu and Ji Yuqiao are in school.
Just when he was hesitating whether to go back by himself, a message from Wen Li popped up on the screen of his mobile phone.
[Let me show you, the weather is nice today. 】
Ji Tingyang paused and called Wen Li, "Do you have time now? I forgot a document at home. Can you help me get it?"
Of course Wen Li was willing to help and agreed immediately.
After Ji Tingyang said thank you, he picked up another document and read it.
Time passed by. Seeing that two hours passed, it was enough time to come here twice.
Ji Tingyang frowned slightly and was about to call Wen Li when he saw her calling.
He answered, "Are you downstairs? I'll pick you up..."
"Ji Tingyang, your brother has a fever. The fever is very serious. He is in the hospital now."
Wen Li's urgent voice interrupted Ji Tingyang's words.
Ji Tingyang was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly, "Which hospital? I'll go there now..."
On the way there, he felt uneasy.
While I was worried about Ji Zeqiu's illness, I blamed myself for being busy with work and neglecting them. I didn't even know that Ji Zeqiu was sick...
He promised his mother that he would take good care of his younger brothers and sisters.
His mind was a mess and he rushed to the ward.
The first thing he saw when he came in was Ji Zeqiu's hand holding Wen Li tightly.
Ji Tingyang was stunned for a moment.
"Ji Tingyang, you're finally here." Wen Li's nervous mood eased, and her cheeks were a little embarrassed. "The nurse came over just now and said that she had to go through the hospitalization procedures. I don't have so much money..."
"Well, I'll do it now." Ji Tingyang's body moved and his eyes returned to Ji Zeqiu again, "Is he okay?"
"The nurse just gave him a fever-reducing injection, and his body is no longer so hot." Wen Li said.
Ji Tingyang nodded, his eyes once again glanced at Ji Zeqiu's hand holding Wen Li's, and he went out silently.
Not long after Ji Tingyang left, Ji Zeqiu finally woke up in the hospital bed and slowly opened his eyes.
His hand tightened again, and his throat hoarse due to fever shouted anxiously, "Mom..."
He turned around and saw a girl looking at him with crooked eyebrows and a little happiness in her expression.
"Great, you finally woke up!"
"Um...your hand hurts me so much. Can you let go?"
Ji Zeqiu realized later that the hand he was holding in his dream was actually hers.
He immediately let go and said sorry.
"It doesn't matter." Wen Li shook her head and raised a sweet smile, "If you are still uncomfortable, it doesn't matter if you continue to hold it. I can give you some strength and help you get better soon."
At that moment, Ji Zeqiu's body suddenly froze.
The scene in his dream just now came to his mind again.
"Why is Zeqiu still having a fever?" A sigh sounded in his ears, and a warm touch came from his forehead. "Mom is so worried about you. Get well soon."
"Didn't you also say that you want to buy a beautiful little dress for your mother? How about we go buy a little dress after you get better?"
His little hand was held tightly, and a warm kiss fell on the back of his hand. "Do you feel the power that mom gave you? Get better soon..."
That dream was so warm.
Ji Zeqiu's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his eyes felt sour.
Wen Li saw his red eyes and became nervous instantly, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell again? I'll call a doctor for you."
"There's no need to call a doctor." Ji Zeqiu grabbed her hand and squeezed it slightly, "Just...just hold my hand..."
Although Wen Li didn't know why, she still held him as he said.
