This Won’t Be a Waste of Energy

Ji Haoyu’s head leaned back slightly, but he did not reveal a displeased expression. He only raised his eyes to look at the male reporter and said, “Grandpa is still unconscious, but his vital signs are stable. He’s receiving treatment in the hospital now. As for which hospital it is, please forgive my painstaking efforts as a junior. Grandpa needs to rest now, and it’s not suitable for others to disturb him.”

Hearing Ji Haoyu’s words, most of the reporters believed him. After all, with Ji Haoyu’s current identity, he should not lie. Moreover, this matter was unusual, so it was not up to others to say that he was lying.

However, there was no smoke without fire. Overnight, rumors spread that Old Ji had passed away from illness. How did it become nothing serious in Ji Haoyu’s mouth?

“Reporters, you don’t have to be suspicious anymore. After my grandfather recovers, all the rumors will be resolved!” After Ji Haoyu finished speaking, he quickly squeezed out of the reporters under the escort of the security guards who had rushed over.

These reporters did not dare to go forward to stop him. After all, Ji Haoyu’s words were very clear. If they did not relent, it would seem as if they were forcing Ji Haoyu to admit that his grandfather was dead.

After entering the corporation building, the employees, who were usually respectful to Ji Haoyu, felt even more threatened today. Even if Old Ji did not die, his sudden acute illness would probably affect Young Master Ji’s mood.

However, Young Master Ji acted as if nothing had happened. His expression was no different from usual. After quickly getting into the elevator, he went straight to the office on the top floor.

He had not finished his work before the new year. His grandfather’s matter had indeed affected him, but Ji Haoyu knew all he could do now was stabilize everything so that he would not disappoint his grandfather’s trust.

…

This morning, Wang Yunzhong’s family was also eating breakfast.

The nanny applied for leave and went home. She could only come back after New Year’s Day. The three meals a day at home became the old lady’s job.

However, she said nothing. Anyway, Wang Yunfa’s matter had just passed, and he had become more honest recently. He watched the shop alone every day. In order to teach him a lesson, the old lady didn’t help recently.

Otherwise, in less than two days, Wang Yunfa’s thoughts would surge again. The old lady knew her son.

“You two eat first. I’ll send it up to Qianqian.” The old lady placed the bowls and chopsticks and called for Wang Yunzhong and the old man to eat.

She had to carry the breakfast she had specially prepared for Xu Qianqian upstairs. Xu Qianqian’s body was very precious during her pregnancy, and her requirements for breakfast were especially strict. If she didn’t eat well in the morning, her mood for the rest if the day would be affected.

Therefore, the old lady did her best to make Xu Qianqian’s favorite food every day. Even if her appetite had decreased drastically because she was pregnant, as long as she was happy, it was alright.

As soon as the old lady went upstairs, Wang Yunzhong couldn’t help but look at the old man and say, “Dad, I asked Xiao Mei that day. She might not be coming home for New Year’s Day this year.”

The old man stopped eating porridge for a moment. When he heard this, he looked up and lowered his head to continue eating porridge. After a while, he said, “That’s good too. It saves everyone from looking at each other coldly. It’s more important to be happy during New Year’s Day.”

When Wang Yunzhong heard this, he couldn’t help but sigh. “Dad, take care of Mom more. I’ve tried my best to improve my relationship with Xiao Mei. I’ve achieved some results at first, but she interfered later. Isn’t this a waste of effort?”

When Wang Yunzhong thought of this, he was filled with anger. What he had done was already very obvious, but the old lady couldn’t control her temper. Even if Wang Yunmei wasn’t around, she couldn’t stop talking. When she thought of it, she muttered a few words.

It had to be known that people could not be nagged at. The more this old lady nagged, the more resentment she felt towards Wang Yunmei, the more she would believe her words.

How could the old man not know this logic? It was not that he had never reminded the old lady, but she could not control her mouth. He could not possibly tape her mouth, right?

“Xiao Mei has been soft all her life. Now that she suddenly became hard, it’s inevitable that your mother won’t be used to it. Especially since she became like this after her conditions improved, your mother feels even more upset. She feels that Xiao Mei won’t listen to her because she’s rich now,” the old man said truthfully. “Besides, Xiao Mei did something wrong with those two courtyards in South City. How could she cheat her brother of his houses? Your mother’s roots are in this. I’m afraid she won’t be able to recover from this in this lifetime!”

When Wang Yunzhong heard this, he immediately reminded him, “Yunfa deserved it! He’s been ignorant and incompetent his entire life. How much money did Xiao Mei spend on him in the past? Just paying off his gambling debts was tens of thousands of yuan. When he got married, he still had to ask Xiao Mei for money. He sold that yard to Xiao Mei for a hundred thousand yuan willingly. He also has my yard, but didn’t I say nothing?”

The old man couldn’t help but look up at the indignant Wang Yunzhong. His expression turned cold as he said bluntly, “Didn’t you say something? Didn’t you want to help Yunfa get the money back in the beginning? You changed sides because you knew Xiao Mei’s current situation! If Xiao Mei had nothing today, you might have said something.”

After being exposed by the old man, Wang Yunzhong looked embarrassed. He couldn’t help but panic. “Dad, you can’t say that. Yunfa begged me. I already gave him the courtyard. I don’t care if he sells it or what he does with it. Besides, he was unreasonable in that matter. Xiao Mei’s transaction with him was legal. I can’t get it back just because I speak up for him.”

“Alright, alright!” The old man interrupted Wang Yunzhong impatiently and put down the bowl in his hand angrily. “What’s the use of saying this now? In short, if you want to repair your relationship with Xiao Mei, Dad will support you. Regardless of whether or not you have a goal, it’s always a good thing to have a better relationship with your biological siblings.”

“But we have to take it slow with your mother. She’s been holding a grudge for a long time. It’s not something that can be resolved with just a few words or a day or two!”

“It’s even more so for Yunfa… In his eyes, Xiao Mei cheated him of a million yuan. No matter when we meet in the future, they’ll probably be enemies. You don’t have to worry!”

The old man was a perceptive person, especially as the head of the family. He could see the situation and relationship of everyone in the family at a glance.

If not for the fact that they favored boys over girls, this family might have had a different scene under a smart person like him.

In the end, Wang Yunzhong could only nod. He didn’t ask the old lady to repair her relationship with Xiao Mei for him. He just hoped that she wouldn’t cause trouble for him.
