Chapter 1551: Occasionally Showing Weakness, the Effect is Quite Good

The doctor dared not provoke Ji Yingjie and gave an ambiguous answer: "Observation is required. Within 24 hours, no one can say for sure what the situation is. The patient is currently dizzy and lightheaded, so she must rest."

"Okay, thank you, Doctor."

Yuke was already in a panic, and she had no energy to parse the meaning behind the doctor's words.

Since she had been hospitalized, she felt the problem was not minor.

Yuke walked into the Hospital Ward, and Ji Yingjie immediately closed her eyes and furrowed her brows.

"A-Auntie, how are you feeling?" It was the first time Yuke had spoken to Ji Yingjie so politely.

"Dizzy..." She was weak and breathless, her voice as thin as a thread, as if she could stop breathing at any moment.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I was just too angry... Oh, in short, it's my fault." Yuke apologized and admitted her mistake; the more she said and the more sincere her attitude was, the happier Ji Yingjie felt.

She was happy inside, but on the surface, she had to put on an act of being near death, posturing and pretending.

Shi Yucheng rushed over at this moment.

"How are you? Is it serious? Does your head still hurt? Are you dizzy?" He grabbed his wife's hand, feeling incredibly distressed.

His daughter had caused a scene at his wife's office, and that was when she had been injured; that was the news he had received.

Seeing his daughter sitting to the side looking very angry, Shi Yucheng immediately flew into a rage at her without asking about right or wrong: "Why are you always looking for trouble? Is your old habit acting up again?"

His eldest daughter had often caused trouble in the past; there was basically never a time when she was idle.

Later, she had paid a huge price for what she had done, and after that, she had lived a quiet and honest life, but because this time it was the eldest daughter's fault that his second wife was injured, he naturally assumed it was his daughter's fault!

"I'm sorry, Dad, I was wrong." Yuke did not defend herself, only offered an apology.

The two children also came over, sobbing "wail-wail" by their mother's hospital bed; their mother had thick gauze wrapped around her head, eyes tightly shut, not saying a word, and the two children cast resentful glares at their half-sister.

Kexin said sternly: "Bad woman, I won't forgive you for hurting my mother. You just wait!"

At this time, Ji Yingjie opened her eyes and said weakly to the two children: "Don't cry, I'm not dead yet. Wait until I'm dead to cry. You are not allowed to talk to your sister like that; she is your eldest sister."

Shi Yucheng said: "What dead or alive? Don't say such unlucky things. A scourge like you is going to live for a thousand years."

"I have a big life. If the angle had been slightly different, I wouldn't be seeing you today, let alone a thousand years, I wouldn't even see tomorrow's sun."

"Don't blame Yuke. It has nothing to do with her; it's all my fault. I thought we were all one family, could good things go to someone else's house?"

"I didn't expect Yuke to oppose Zhihao becoming the Chamber of Commerce President so fiercely. If I had known earlier that she was unwilling, I wouldn't have let him be that president..."

Ji Yingjie rarely showed weakness.

When she did show weakness occasionally, most people really couldn't handle it!

Kexin's temper was very similar to Ji Yingjie's, and she was used to being overbearing at home. Seeing her mother in such a pitiful state, she immediately flew into a rage again.

"Bad woman, you've bullied my mom to this point, I'll kill you!"

She bared her fangs and brandished her claws as she lunged at Yuke, and Shi Yucheng and his son hurriedly grabbed the younger daughter.

"Don't go crazy, she is your sister."

"Kexin, don't be impulsive, this is your sister."

"She is your sister, not mine. Let go..."

Shi Ketian said: "We were all born to the same father; she is my sister and your sister too. Do you think the matter isn't big enough yet? Stop stirring up trouble..."

The father and son pulled on her together; Kexin was a young girl after all and couldn't possibly break free, so she was finally dragged out of the Hospital Ward while cursing and swearing.

Ji Yingjie cursed her son from head to toe in her heart.

She was very satisfied with her daughter's performance, feeling that her daughter was the most thoughtful!

Now that it was just her and Yuke left in the ward, Ji Yingjie couldn't be bothered to keep pretending to be sick and began to negotiate terms with Yuke.

"You saw how your brother and sister behaved just now. Your father is in a very difficult position. This is all your fault. If you hadn't been so headstrong, it wouldn't have come to this!"

Yuke was almost angered to the point of vomiting blood and retorted: "Which one of us is actually headstrong? If you hadn't insisted on making my husband the Chamber of Commerce President, I wouldn't have bothered to come find you..."

Knowing she was in the wrong, Ji Yingjie interrupted her: "Let's not talk about this. This matter is already a done deal and cannot be changed. You've also pushed me to the hospital, so how about we call it even?"

Call it even?

That meant no one would pursue it anymore, right?

Yuke didn't want to "call it even," but she truly had no better way to resolve all of this right now.

The look Kexin gave her just now made her heart tremble; what kind of resentment was that?

But she didn't blame Kexin.

Her reaction was normal; if a mother was hurt and her children remained indifferent, that would be what's truly chilling.

Her brother Ketian was more like their father, while Kexin was more like her mother. The arrival of these two children made Yuke realize that her relationship with Ji Yingjie was not necessarily antagonistic.

Although she didn't like Ji Yingjie, she was her father's wife. They had no blood relationship, but they shared common relatives: her father, Ketian, and Kexin.

So Yuke compromised and agreed to Ji Yingjie's proposal; the matter would be considered even!

On the day of the Chamber of Commerce President's inauguration ceremony, Yuke personally helped her husband put on his suit; it was a perfect fit and he looked very handsome!

Yuke didn't tell him that she had this suit custom-made by hand; the price of the suit was more than his annual salary as a Village Chief.

As Chamber of Commerce President, although he didn't have much real power, the people he would be in contact with were all wealthy; dressing too shabbily would make people laugh.

Yuke kept urging: "Keep your wits about you when you're out there. Don't tell everyone everything. It's best to speak less and keep a composed air..."

Gu Zhihao was puzzled: "Isn't it impolite not to speak?"

Yuke:...

She explained patiently: "It's not what you think. If you talk too much, people will see your true thoughts, and your bottom line will be exposed to others."

"They will know you are easy to bully and will bully you without restraint. If you are sparing with your words and keep a straight face, no one will know what you are thinking, and they will be wary of you..."

"Oh, I see. Just like my brother-in-law, right?" Gu Zhihao had a rare moment of enlightenment.

"Yes, just learn from him."

Although he couldn't grasp the essence, imitating the form was still good; it was better than his own way.

Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, her husband suddenly slumped into a chair: "Oh, there are too many twists and turns in this. I'm a bit worried I won't be able to handle it. It would have been better not to be this president. Honey, do you think it's too late for me to regret it now?"
