PDLP Chapter 287 Depression
Chapter 287 Depression
As soon as Ji Xinyu's figure disappeared behind the gate of the Lin family's old house, Mrs. Lin's face instantly darkened, as if the sun was blocked by dark clouds.
"Butler, what do you think about this? How come the youngest daughter of the Ji family suddenly became so unpredictable?" There was a hint of confusion and dissatisfaction in her voice.
The housekeeper frowned slightly, as if recalling the past. "Madam, do you still remember the time when the Ji family brought Miss Ji Xinyu to celebrate your birthday? She was shy and quiet back then, and you once praised the Ji family for being able to raise such a gentle girl."
The Ji family had served in the military for generations, and it wasn't until Ji Xinyu's father's generation that they began to venture into the business world. The Ji family had many active and lively men, and Ji Xinyu's ability to maintain such innocence and quietness in such an environment was truly remarkable.
"Yes, I still remember that birthday party. Ji Xinyu came with her brothers to celebrate your birthday. I even asked her what year she was in college, and she shyly replied that she was a sophomore."
Mrs. Lin's eyes flashed with memories, but then dimmed again. "I never thought girls would change so much. She would become like this now."
She pointed to the medical certificate left by Ji Xinyu on the table, her tone filled with helplessness and anger, "Go and deliver this to Lin Xuan. Tell him it's from Ji Xinyu. He'll know what to do with it."
The butler responded, picked up the diagnosis and went to find Butler Wang to arrange the matter.
Lin Xuan had just finished his business trip and returned to the company when he received this medical certificate from the old house. He originally thought it was some important document from his mother, but when he opened it, he saw that it was Ye Wanqing's medical certificate. His face instantly turned cold.
He looked up at his assistant Zhao Yu and said in a low and firm voice, "Was this sent from the old house?"
Zhao Yu nodded and answered cautiously: "Yes, Mr. Lin, he said that Ji Xinyu sent it to the old house."
Before Zhao Yu finished speaking, Lin Xuan's face was already terribly gloomy: "Prepare the car, I want to go somewhere."
He picked up the diagnosis, put it back into the envelope, and strode out of the office.
In the afternoon, Ji Xing'an was presiding over an important meeting when his secretary rushed in, looking nervous and anxious. Although the meeting was already underway, Ji Xing'an's secretary had no choice but to interrupt the meeting after seeing the identity of the visitor.
"Mr. Ji, there is a very important guest who wants to see you." The secretary's voice was a little apologetic and nervous.
Ji Xingan frowned, a sense of foreboding welling up in his heart: "Who is it?"
He did not arrange any meeting.
The secretary walked over to Ji Xing'an, whispered Lin Xuan's name in his ear, and added, "Boss Ji, I see that Boss Lin looks very unhappy."
"What does it mean that you look very bad?" Ji Xing'an asked.
The secretary didn't answer, but just used his eyes to signal Ji Xing'an to go and see for himself. Ji Xing'an frowned and sighed helplessly: "You guys continue."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the meeting room. Through the glass window, he saw Lin Xuan sitting in the reception room from afar, his gloomy face seemed to be dripping with water.
Ji Xing'an stopped in front of the reception room door and instructed his secretary, "Go check what Ji Xinyu has done recently."
The cooperation project between the Lin and Ji families had been completed in the first half of the year. Lin Xuan's visit to him at this time was obviously not for cooperation. Apart from Ye Wanqing, there was no one else who could make Lin Xuan personally take action.
Since it involves Ye Wanqing, it must be related to Ji Xinyu.
The secretary was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Okay, President Ji, I understand."
Ji Xing'an then pushed the door open and entered the reception room, forcing a smile: "Boss Lin, how come you have time to come to my place today?"
Lin Xuan ignored his greetings and threw the envelope on the table. "You should know why I came. I haven't settled accounts with Ji Xinyu for what she did last time. Do you, the Ji family, really think my girlfriend is easy to bully?"
Ji Xing'an went forward and picked up the envelope. When he opened it, he found Ye Wanqing's diagnosis of depression. He was so shocked that he was speechless. "Ms. Ye...how could she be like this?"
He continued reading and found that Ye Wanqing had been suffering from depression for some time. Although this made him feel a little relieved, he immediately became nervous again.
He raised his head and met Lin Xuan's cold eyes. His words were trembling and helpless. "My family sent this to her. They said Ji Xinyu personally delivered it to her."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Xingan's face turned pale: "Ji Xinyu...how could she do such a thing?"
He wanted to defend Ji Xinyu, but when he opened his mouth, he found himself speechless. Lin Xuan had no interest in listening to his explanation at all:
"Boss Ji, although our two families may not have a deep relationship, we have always maintained the principle of reciprocity. If the Ji family insists on making things difficult for me, Lin, then I will have no choice but to fight them to the end!"
Ji Xing'an felt bitter in his heart. He knew very well that his sister's behavior this time had crossed the bottom line. Not only did it anger Lin Xuan, but it also cast a shadow on the relationship between the two families.
"My mother has always been reluctant to meddle in the trivial matters of us younger generations, but Ji Xinyu took the initiative to bring this matter to her face. This is not only disrespectful to her, but also makes her unhappy.
Did she still naively think that after seeing all this, her mother would stand up and oppose my relationship with Ye Wanqing? She was totally wrong! If my mother knew, she would probably feel even more distressed for Ye Wanqing and pity her.
Lin Xuan's tone was filled with unquestionable determination, and his eyes were like torches, as if he could see through people's hearts:
"Mr. Ji, if you can't discipline your sister properly, then I will have to take action myself. But please believe me, if I take action, I will definitely not show mercy. I'm afraid Ji Xinyu's life will not be as carefree as it is now."
There was a hint of threat in his words, but he also revealed his deep love for Ye Wanqing: "Please take this diagnosis back to Uncle Ji for review and let him know about this.
If there is any news about Ye Wanqing's condition, I will not hesitate to blame the Ji family. After all, the truth will eventually come out, and if it is leaked, the Ji family's reputation will be affected.
After saying that, Lin Xuan stood up, straightened his suit, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination. He turned and left without the slightest reluctance.
Ji Xing'an watched Lin Xuan's departing figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that this incident had touched Lin Xuan's bottom line. If no action was taken, the relationship between the two families would probably reach a freezing point.
He sighed, his face becoming increasingly gloomy, and he was secretly thinking about how to properly handle this matter.
At this time, Ye Wanqing was immersed in the sea of books and was unaware of the turmoil in the outside world.
She was wearing an elegant white dress with long hair draped over her shoulders, looking like a fairy from a painting. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto her body, giving her a golden glow.
Suddenly, the roar of a car engine broke the silence. She frowned slightly and looked out the window, only to see a black car slowly approaching.
The familiar license plate number instantly made her understand the visitor's identity. She gently put down the book in her hands, a faint smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She knew that no matter how turbulent the outside world was, Lin Xuan would always be her most solid support.
She turned and went into the house, picked up an exquisite glass, poured a glass of water, and then stood quietly in front of the window, waiting for Lin Xuan to arrive.
