Ji Yueze had just fed Bai Yiyan some congee and soothed her to sleep when his phone suddenly rang. He quickly turned on the vibrator, picked up his phone and quickly walked out of the ward.
"Brother!" Ji Yueze answered the phone in a low voice.
"I just got the news that Cheng Jianhong jumped out of his office and failed to save him." Ji Xiaohan"s solemn voice sounded from the other side.
"Dead? Did he commit suicide? Or is someone trying to silence him? " Ji Yueze"s face was full of shock. He didn"t expect Cheng Jianhong to die like this. He still wanted to redeem himself. Xiao Yan didn"t even meet with him and he actually committed suicide just like that.
"The police determined he committed suicide. Maybe he was under some kind of threat, so he had to die to save his life." Ji Xiaohan also felt that this was happening too fast and too strange.
"It would seem that he has no other choice. He knows too many secrets. There are some people who do not want him to live." Ji Yueze said while laughing at himself.
"You should talk about this matter when Bai Yiyan"s mood gets better. Let"s hang up first." Ji Xiaohan then hung up the phone. Holding the phone, he went back to his bedroom from the balcony. Under the warm wall light, he saw his shrunk daughter. Her cute sleeping face was like a quiet and pure angel.
Tomorrow was the day Youyou would return home. His daughter would stick to him for no reason these few days, always waiting for him to come home before she slept. Furthermore, she would have to hold one of his arms to sleep every time.
Ji Xiaohan couldn"t help but chuckle. The feeling of being needed by his daughter was really good.
"Daddy, pee!" It was unknown if the sound of the door opening had woken Ji Xiaonai up, or if she felt that there was no father beside her. She suddenly woke up and sat up, rubbing her eyes as she muttered.
Ji Xiaohan quickly walked over and carried his daughter out of the bed before bringing her to the bathroom.
"Why isn"t Mommy back yet? If I don"t come back, I"ll be an adult now! " Ji Xiaonai was still very resentful. She had never been separated from Mommy for so many days, so she had always been looking forward to it.
Ji Xiaohan looked at her small body. In this period of time, she hadn"t grown much. She had gained a lot of weight and was as pretty as a doll.
Ji Xiaonai peed herself before pulling on her pajamas. When she looked up and saw her father laughing, she asked in dissatisfaction, "Daddy, what are you laughing about?"
"It"s nothing. I just felt that my little princess had grown up a bit slower, and had asked dad to accompany you more!" Ji Xiaohan bent down and picked up his daughter, then returned to the big bed in the bedroom. The little guy rolled around and found a very comfortable sleeping position, then he blinked his big eyes and asked curiously: "Grandma told me to grow up faster, but you told me to slow down, so should I do it faster or slower?"
Ji Xiaohan also laid down on his back and hugged his daughter, letting her head rest on his arm. "Daddy doesn"t know, as long as you are healthy and safe!"
"Oh!" The little guy was in a deep slumber. Not long later, he fell into a dream again.
Ji Xiaohan glanced at her and pinched her cheek. Then, he closed his eyes in satisfaction.
The news of Cheng Jianhong committing suicide was not reported out. The internal department had already sealed off the news, but the rumors were still spreading and everyone was panicking.
It is a pity that in the last few days before his death, a scandal about finding a subst.i.tute to conceive for his son broke, causing everyone to have a whole new level of respect for him. Within a few days, he jumped off the building and committed suicide, and those who were unaware of the situation to think that he committed suicide out of shame.
Bai Yiyan stayed at the hospital, worrying that she would still bleed. However, after the injection, she stopped bleeding and her emotions had stabilized.
"When do I have to testify? I"m better now, too, anytime. " Bai Yiyan ate her fruit and turned around to ask Ji Yueze. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She wished she could make Cheng Jianhong pay for his heartlessness earlier.
"Xiao Yan, there"s something I don"t want to hide from you. Actually, you don"t need to testify against Cheng Jianhong anymore. He has already ?? "He"s dead. Last night, he jumped off a building!" Ji Yueze slowed down his plucking of fruits as he stared at Bai Yiyan with his deep eyes.
Sure enough, her expression froze. Her beautiful eyes widened as she looked at him in disbelief: "Dead? Last night? "
"Yes, jumping off a building in his office. Xiao Yan, will you feel sorry for him?" Ji Yueze"s heart ached as he saw her pale face and trembling lips, but he didn"t know what to ask.
Bai Yiyan was confused and confused. Her mind was blank.
Would she be sad? Probably not. She had always hated him.
"I haven"t even seen his face yet, how did he die? I have a lot of questions I want to ask him. " Bai Yiyan"s eyes turned red. She tried her best to hold back her tears, but they started to roll down her cheeks.
No matter what you want to ask him, he has already paid the price for his actions. Moreover, my big brother said, the one who forced him to die was not you, but himself, so his death must be in exchange for the life of his son. In the end, he is willing to sacrifice his life for his son, but is not willing to be responsible for your daughter. Ji Yueze reached out his hand to hold her small hand tightly and consoled her in a low voice.
Bai Yiyan still couldn"t speak for a long time. She couldn"t tell what she was feeling.
Perhaps she was sad that she had not met him and asked him why he had abandoned her.
"Xiao Yan, the doctor said that you can"t get too excited. It"s bad for the baby, so you have to control your emotions. Actually, I wanted to hide it from you, but this matter can"t be concealed sooner or later." Ji Yueze was very worried about her. Seeing her lower her head in silence, he was worried that she would break down and affect her baby.
Bai Yiyan laughed self-deprecatingly, "I"m fine. In my heart, my father is someone else, not him. Whether he dies or not has no effect on me."
Bai Yiyan previously had an adoptive father who treated her like her own child. However, her fate was not good and she was not even loved for a few years before she pa.s.sed away. At that time, Bai Yiyan cried for several months and always thought that he was her biological father.
"Alright, as long as you can think it through!" Ji Yueze reached out his hand and caressed her face.
Pei Ying was sitting in the living room. When she heard Bai Wanqing and her father making a ruckus, she angrily ran downstairs and yelled, "What are you guys arguing about? Was he going to continue living this life? Wasn"t my dad betraying Bai Yiyan to save your life? "
Bai Wanqing covered her face, unable to cry. However, she felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart.
Pei Hong scolded his daughter: "Say less. Don"t talk to your Aunt Bai like this ever again."
Although Pei Hong didn"t like Bai Yiyan, he still had some feelings for her. He was also deeply aware of the inhumane nature of this life-and-death exchange.
