After learning that Jiang Ying was staying in the First People's Hospital in the city, Lin Xi rushed to the city hospital by car. Because they were afraid that the Wang family would find Jiang Ying, even the village party secretary didn't know which ward Jiang Ying was staying in.
All I know is that it is Aunt Lin Xi who is taking care of Jiang Ying now.
Lin Xi called her aunt Jiang Mei on the way, but the call didn't go through until she arrived at the hospital.
Jiang Mei just received her call and pretended that nothing happened. When she heard that Lin Xi had returned to the city and went to the hospital immediately, she was so angry that she scolded her on the phone, but in the end she still told her the ward where Jiang Ying was.
When Lin Xi arrived at the hospital, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. It was dark and the hospital was quieter than during the day.
She went to the third floor of the inpatient department and walked along the corridor looking for a ward.
Suddenly, when she passed by a doctor in a white coat, her hand was grabbed by someone. Lin Xi turned around and saw the female doctor holding her wrist.
She was about to ask something, but when she saw the other person clearly, she was stunned.
The female doctor smiled at Lin Xi, "It seems you still remember me."
"My name is Suiran." The female doctor pointed to her work badge.
Of course Lin Xi remembered her, because she once handed a pack of tissues to Sui Ran. At that time, Sui Ran was standing at the door of Ji's house crying.
She was the girlfriend of Ji Junxing's uncle.
"Hello." Lin Xi nodded lightly at her, and she tried to pull her hand back with force.
But Sui Ran asked, "Are you here to see a patient?"
Lin Xi hummed, "My mother is in the hospital, and I have to go see her now. Sorry, I can't chat with you."
Although she didn't let go, she pointed her chin at Lin Xi's neck and asked, "Are you going to see your mother with all these injuries?"
Seeing that Lin Xi didn't understand, Sui Ran took out his phone from his pocket and turned on the front camera to let Lin Xi see the scratches on his neck. There were several bloody cuts, which were obviously caused by someone's fingernails.
The scene was chaotic before, and although Lin Xi had a knife in her hand, she still suffered some losses.
"This needs to be disinfected." Sui Ran looked at her neck, then grabbed her arm and went to his office.
Lin Xi struggled for a moment, "I still have to go..."
"It seems your mother is not in a hurry at this moment." Sui Ran interrupted her and said directly: "Your mother is already in the hospital. If she sees you like this, can she still recover well?"
Finally, Lin Xi didn't refuse.
When I arrived at the office, I went to the nurse's station to get disinfectant and cotton swabs.
While disinfecting Lin Xi, she asked, "What's wrong with your mother?"
Lin Xi was silent for a moment, but then smiled and said, "I'm a doctor here, maybe I can help."
"My mother's name is Jiang Ying. She was beaten and admitted to the hospital." Lin Xi said immediately after hearing this.
Sui Ran was stunned and frowned slightly, "Your mother's name is Jiang Ying?"
"Do you know my mother?" Lin Xi was a little excited. She asked, "Is my mother's condition serious now? Is she okay?"
"Your mother's ribs were broken and she needs to be hospitalized for recuperation." Sui Ran said.
Lin Xi clenched her hands tightly.
Sui Ran looked at her and sighed in his heart. The doctors and nurses in this department all knew about Jiang Ying's situation. Because the police came to question her a few days ago, her husband was suspected of murder.
Later, when Sister Jiang Ying was arguing with the police, everyone in the ward could hear it.
Everyone then realized that his child was hit and killed, and the perpetrator had fled for a few years, thinking he had escaped the limelight, and came back. Unexpectedly, he told everything after drinking.
Although he can be considered cold-hearted, he is a doctor and has seen many lives and deaths in the hospital.
When I heard about this, I felt a little sad.
She didn't expect that Jiang Ying's daughter was the little girl in front of her.
"I heard about your father's situation. Is there anything I can help you with?" Sui Ran asked.
Lin Xi stared at the wall blankly. "I want to go see my father, but they said that family members can't see him now."
"I have a lawyer friend who is quite famous in this city. How about I call him for you?" Sui Ran suggested.
Lin Xi was startled and nodded immediately, but after nodding, she asked: "Can you talk to this lawyer? I don't have much money on me at the moment, but I will go back and collect it."
"Money is not a problem." Sui Ran felt a little distressed when he saw her panicked look.
Then he went out and made a phone call.
Lin Xi sat nervously in the office waiting for her to come back. When she came back, she nodded gently and said, "He will come over later."
"Thank you." Lin Xi looked at her, full of gratitude.
Sui Ran chuckled: "At the beginning, I didn't say thank you to you either."
Lin Xi knew she was talking about the pack of tissues and immediately shook her head: "That was just a small matter, it can't be compared to this."
"Your family and the Ji family..." Sui Ran thought about it and asked anyway.
Lin Xi looked at Sui Ran, thought for a while, and finally told him the relationship between her family and the Ji family.
After listening to it, Sui Ran was stunned for a long while, and then he said softly after a long time: "Time flies."
"I guess Ah Xing has never said anything good about me in front of you, right?" Sui Ran glanced at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi shook her head, "He's not the kind of person who likes to say bad things about others behind their backs."
Sui Ran looked at her with a chuckle.
After a while, a man in a suit came in. As soon as he entered the door, he introduced the two people. The man nodded and said directly: "I have already asked my friends on the way here. I can only say that the family members should be mentally prepared. The deceased has a brother-in-law who works in our city's judicial system and has a high position."
"What do you mean?" Sui Ran frowned, "Can they turn black into white?"
The man shook his head. “That’s impossible, but it may have an impact on sentencing.”
"No, we can't do this." Lin Xi was shaking all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. The joy and happiness she had just felt when she was looking forward to the lawyer coming completely disappeared.
Lin Xi's face was as pale as paper, and she said in a sad tone, "My father is a good man. He shouldn't be punished like this."
"Lin Xi, don't be afraid, the situation hasn't reached the worst yet." Sui Ran immediately comforted her.
Sui Ran looked at the lawyer and asked in a low voice: "Can't you think of a solution?"
"I'll try my best, but I hope the family members will also try their best. After all, this is a life. There is a great possibility of intentional homicide and manslaughter."
Hearing this, Sui Ran asked the lawyer to leave first. She talked to Lin Xi.
After the lawyer left, Sui Ran looked at Lin Xi and whispered, "Lin Xi, let's go to Beijing."
Lin Xi stood there, looking at her blankly, and then she heard Sui Ran say, "I know that when you are young, dignity is more important than anything else. I also felt this way when I was young. That's why I lost the person I loved the most. Lin Xi, go and beg the people of the Ji family, so that you can save your father."
The dignity of youth is more important than anything else.
But is it more important than my father’s life
Lin Xi nodded.
Then she took the lawyer to Jiang Ying's ward, and the lawyer needed a family power of attorney. When Jiang Ying learned the lawyer's purpose, she struggled to get up from the bed and wanted to thank him.
Wait until the signature is completed and then come out.
The lawyer looked at Lin Xi and asked, "Is there anything you need me to bring to your father?"
Lin Xi opened her mouth, but her throat choked when she thought of Lin Yaohua.
After a long while, she whispered, "My father is a very honest man. He has never fought with anyone in his life. He must be very scared now that he is locked up in that kind of place."
She raised her head, looked at the other person, and spoke in a firm voice.
"Please, tell him."
"When Lin Xi grows up, she will save him and take good care of this family."
Because it was too late, Lin Xi couldn't go back to Beijing and could only wait until tomorrow. At night, she went to Lin Zheng's room and wiped his photo frame again and again.
That day, even though she was choking up, she didn't shed a single tear.
She'll hold up.
The next day, she arrived at the airport early.
When she arrived at Ji's house, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Lin Xi didn't even have time to eat lunch.
As soon as she entered the door, Ji Luchi, who was playing in the living room, was the first to notice her and jumped over happily, "Sister Lin Xi, you're here."
Although Lin Xi was not in the mood to play with him, she still reached out and touched his little head.
"Chichi, is Auntie home?"
Ji Luchi tilted his head, "Sister Lin Xi, are you asking about mom? She and dad are in the study. Grandpa is back."
Lin Xi was stunned.
At this time, Wen Xuan came down from upstairs and saw Lin Xi. She immediately smiled and said, "Lin Xi, you are here."
Her smile was a little forced.
"Aunt Wen, I..." Lin Xi opened her mouth to speak, but there was a tapping sound from the second floor, as if something was knocking on the floor.
Until Lin Xi looked up and saw a white-haired but energetic old man standing there.
"Is this Lin Xi?" the old man asked.
Wen Xuan nodded immediately, and she whispered to Lin Xi, "Lin Xi, this is Jun Xing and Chi Chi's grandfather, you can call him grandpa too."
"Grandpa." Lin Xi shouted.
Unexpectedly, Grandpa nodded and said gently: "Lin Xi, come with me to the study."
"Dad." Wen Xuan shouted.
At this time, Ji Wenqing looked at her and said calmly: "Do you think I, an old man, want to eat Lin Xi?"
Lin Xi didn't know what Grandpa Ji was going to say to her, but she followed him upstairs and into the study. Ji Xuanheng was still in the study. When he saw Lin Xi come in, he was shocked and was about to speak, but was coaxed out by Ji Wenqing with his cane.
"Lin Xi, sit down." Ji Wenqing gently asked her to sit down.
Lin Xi sat down anxiously. To be honest, this was her first time meeting Ji Wenqing. Before that, he had been recuperating in Switzerland.
Ji Wenqing looked at her and asked softly, "The college entrance examination is only a few days away, right? I heard Wen Xuan said that your grades are very good."
Lin Xi thought about it and said, "It's not bad."
"But your Aunt Wen said that you should have no problem getting into Tsinghua University or Peking University." The old woman's tone was kind, which made Lin Xi relax.
She said: "I will try my best to pass the exam and not let my aunt down."
"Tsinghua University and Peking University are indeed the best universities in our country." Ji Wenqing nodded, until he said: "But if someone gives an offer to MIT and chooses Tsinghua University instead, do you think this person is a fool?"
Lin Xi was stunned.
She stared at Ji Wenqing blankly.
"It seems that you don't know about this." The old man's eyes were sharp and he immediately saw Lin Xi's confusion.
He said: "I just didn't expect that such a fool would appear in our Ji family."
Lin Xi came back to her senses after a long while. She said, "You mean, Ji Junxing gave up going to these two schools?"
She knew that Ji Junxing had applied to these two schools before. At that time, he said that it was Ji Xuanheng who insisted that he try. Besides, the number of high school students admitted to these two universities in China each year was only in the single digit. He comforted Lin Xi that he might not be admitted.
Later he didn't mention anything, and Lin Xi thought he was not admitted.
She was also afraid that Ji Junxing's self-esteem would be hurt, so she never discussed these things in front of him.
"I already know about your family's affairs. I feel very sympathetic. Don't worry, the Ji family will definitely help you with this matter." Ji Wenqing looked at the helpless look of the little girl and sighed.
At this moment, Lin Xi's heart felt like it was being pulled by two silk threads.
She was so squeezed that she couldn't breathe.
"But I hope you and Ah Xing can keep your distance from each other in the future." Finally, the old man spoke again.
Lin Xi raised her head and looked over numbly. She had heard too much bad news in the past two days. She asked, "Is this a condition?"
Ji Wenqing looked at the tears in her eyes, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "This is a request, a request from an old man."
Lin Xi finally couldn't help it, she cried and asked: "Why can't I be with him?"
Is it because her family is poor
Ji Wenqing had experienced too many things in his life. He saw through the girl's mind. He asked, "If I say that our Ji family is willing to pay for you to go abroad and let you go to the United States with Ah Xing, would you be willing?"
Would you like to
Not only can she save her father, but she can also get others to spend money to send her abroad.
"As long as you want, I can pretend that I never said that."
Lin Xi sat on the chair, and the blood in her body rushed to her head. She clenched her palms tightly, and a voice was shouting desperately in her heart.
I do.
Tell grandpa quickly, I do, I do.
She sat there, her whole body felt like it was torn in two, and the voice in her heart kept shouting.
But if she said this, would it be fair
Just now, Grandpa Ji spoke to her in those words. He said it was not a request, but a plea.
Because he knew that he could not give anything to Ji Junxing, and she would only become a burden to him. Today, she asked for help from the Ji family. Could she still accept the Ji family's financial support to let her go abroad with peace of mind
She can't.
Finally, the voice in my heart disappeared.
Ji Wenqing looked at the girl who was stiff in the chair like a stone statue. He stood up, leaned on his crutches and looked out the window. He said, "Look, your self-esteem doesn't allow you to make this choice. But if you don't go, do you think Jun Xing will go?"
"Children like you take self-esteem too seriously. And children like Ah Xing take you too seriously. I used to be an open-minded father, thinking that as long as my son was happy, that was enough. But in the end, I ended up with a gray-haired man sending off a black-haired child."
When Lin Xi left, Wen Xuan nervously asked her what Ji Wenqing had said to her.
She shook her head and even smiled and said to Wen Xuan: "Grandpa just asked about my grades. The college entrance examination is coming in a few days, and grandpa told me not to be nervous."
Wen Xuan seemed relieved.
Ji Wenqing was standing on the stairs. After hearing her words, he sighed for a while.
This time, Lin Xi rushed back to her hometown with Ji Wenqing's secretary.
The lawyer asked her to collect a joint letter from all the villagers to plead with the judge.
Lin Yaohua is a good man. When the village party secretary told the story, all 73 households in Tongshui Village came to his house to sign and put their fingerprints. Even the 80-year-old grandmother in the village came.
When each person pressed their fingerprint, Lin Xi bowed to them.
She hadn't been home for three days, and Ji Junxing asked to see her again.
He said, "No, I'll come find you tomorrow."
"Don't come." Lin Xi raised her voice and said, "I'll be back soon."
"I can pick you up when you come back. It's just right for me to come back with you." Ji Junxing said nonchalantly.
Lin Xi finally got anxious and said, "Don't come. Do you listen to me?"
She had never been so strong before, and this time it was rare. She heard the other party suddenly laugh.
Until he whispered, "Listen, I listen to you."
Lin Xi went back four days before the college entrance exam, knowing that her father had not yet been released. But if her father knew that she had given up the college entrance exam for him, he would definitely feel guilty even if he was released later.
She was going back to her battlefield.
She finally returned to Beijing and Ji Junxing came to pick her up.
As soon as he saw her, he reached out and pinched her cheek, "Are you satisfied now? I listen to you."
She looked at his carefree expression and felt so satisfied in her heart.
The huge rock that had been weighing on my heart for the past few days seemed to have really become a lot lighter at this moment.
At the airport, he directly held her hand. Lin Xi was so lazy that she didn't let go, and the two held it tightly.
In this way, the college entrance examination finally arrived amid everyone's expectations and fear.
Ji Junxing didn't have to take the exam, but he came to see her off every day. When Lin Xi came out, she would always see him first. He handed her water and wiped her sweat.
The head teacher, Sun Liru, was standing not far away, but at this time, even the teacher looked at them with understanding.
Finally, I got to the last exam.
When there was still half an hour left, Lin Xi looked at the test paper in front of her and saw a wet spot on it.
She will be leaving in half an hour.
When she came out, she went to the bathroom to wash her face. Fortunately, Ji Junxing didn't notice that she had cried.
Lin Xi's exam venue was at the school. She pulled Ji Junxing and said, "Shall we take a picture?"
When taking group photos a few days ago, Lin Xi didn't come because of family matters. Jiang Yimian cried out that it was a pity and said that she should take another photo alone with Lin Xi and then photoshop her in.
She thought about it and realized that she had never taken a photo with Ji Junxing.
"Teacher Sun, can you help me take a photo?" Ji Junxing looked for Sun Liru and directly pulled her to take the photo for them.
Lin Xi was a little embarrassed.
But Sun Liru was calmer than them and said directly: "Lin Xi, stand closer, closer."
After all, it happened in front of the class teacher, so she was still embarrassed.
Suddenly a hand was placed on her shoulder, and she was gently pulled into his arms.
She looked up and Ji Junxing lowered his head, and this scene was frozen in time.
All around were the sounds of students communicating with each other.
Mixed with crying.
Three years have passed, their three years of high school, these three years of almost asceticism, are completely over.
Ji Junxing looked at the crying and noisy candidates around him, calmly touched her head, and said softly: "Lin Xi, we'll see you at Tsinghua University."
Half a month ago.
Chen Mo and others were the first to know that Ji Junxing had rejected MIT.
Xie Ang opened his mouth in surprise.
Gao Yunlang was the first to react. He frowned and asked, "Is it for Lin Xi?"
"Yeah." Ji Junxing spoke frankly.
Chen Mo held it in for a long time, and finally said angrily: "Ah Xing, you are obsessed with beauty."
"Get out." Ji Junxing shouted angrily.
But then he said, "I want to wait for Lin Xi to go out together. She will definitely be admitted to Tsinghua University, and she majors in science. When the time comes, she will be able to apply to study abroad from Tsinghua University, and she will definitely get a full scholarship."
"Your plan is great." Xie Ang nodded.
Chen Mo slapped Xie Ang, looked at Ji Junxing seriously and said, "You really don't regret it? To be honest, this opportunity is too rare. MIT only accepts a few Chinese students a year. You just gave it up like this."
"What's there to regret? It's just a few years later."
Chen Mo sighed: "You like Lin Xi so much that you are crazy about her."
This time, Ji Junxing, who rarely interacted with them, was silent for a moment and finally spoke.
"I'm not crazy. I like her so much that I want to spend my whole life with her."
So she must be in his future plans.
The author has something to say: I know everyone likes to read sweet stories, but it is really difficult for an author. When I only write sweet stories, I will be criticized for being brainless and stupid.
But when writing about the ups and downs, my fairies will be sad again.
I have tried to shorten this content to two chapters.
In fact, you should understand that what hinders them is not their family background, but the dignity and gap in their youth.
From Lin Xi's perspective, could she accept Grandpa's help and then accept Grandpa's money to send her abroad? She couldn't.
From the perspective of a grandfather, Ji Junxing loved Lin Xi so much that he gave up such an important thing for her. He seemed to see his youngest son's past. Even though he knew he was wrong, he still tried to stop her.
From the young master's perspective, he only postponed going abroad for a few years, and he believed that Lin Xi would definitely get a full scholarship to go abroad with him. He felt that doing so would not affect his life.
Each of them made the right choice for themselves.
And when they meet again, they will re-examine their choices today, grow up, and take on real responsibilities.
Okay, I know you guys are having a hard time today.
This chapter will give out 500 red envelopes, regardless of time. If you want red envelopes, you'd better say more, so that Brother Tong can notice you.
