Chapter 213: Two hundred thirteen This voice is his daughter!_1

At this moment, almost everyone’s attention was drawn to the Rolls-Royce.

"Wow! Is that little gold statue for real?"

It was their first time seeing a car with gold on its hood, how much must that car cost!

"It looks like gold!" The speaker was Chief Ma, who had already walked over and started feeling the little gold statue.

"Goodness, that little figure must weigh dozens of grams."

No one knew that the little gold statue alone was worth hundreds of thousands; it was definitely not priced by the gram.

Uncle Guang didn’t explain, just smiled.

"It’s getting late, let’s go," Wu Shuhui said to Ji Pianran.

Ji Pianran nodded her head, looking apologetically at everyone, "Sorry, we still have things to do, so we’ll be leaving first."

"Yeah, come to our house for dinner some other time," Gu Chen also smiled at everyone.

After saying that, Gu Chen placed the items he brought in the trunk, and the group of four set off while carrying Tangtang.

A few people stood on the spot watching the dust kicked up by the Rolls-Royce.

"I feel like I’ve seen this car on TV before, the kind rich bosses drive, the really wealthy kind?" Sun Yang scratched his head, recalling.

His family had just bought a color TV, and he had seen this car on TV, driven by the Gambling King.

It seemed like only the very wealthy could afford such a car.

"No way, is Pianran’s family that rich?" Someone exclaimed in surprise.

"Damn! I only knew Pianran was pretty, didn’t expect her family to be this rich too, and she even married Gu Chen, that guy has such good luck," Chief Ma sighed with envy on his face.

"Damn it! Back then, it was only because that kid Gu Chen had the advantage of being close to water and got to the moon first. Only then did we learn about Ji Pianran coming to the village, and she got married to Gu Chen not long after. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be his business at all!"

"Cut the crap, as soon as Ji Pianran arrived, she only had eyes for Gu Chen. Forget you, even I couldn’t chase her down. Who could compete when she lived at Aunt Cui Lan’s house?"

Indeed, Ji Pianran’s arrival had caused quite a stir.

A rare beauty, the village hadn’t had such a gorgeous person for many years.

"It’s all my mom’s fault, saying I was too skinny to father children well, blocking me from chasing Pianran. Otherwise, it’d be me riding in a luxury car right now."

The group of men started boasting, getting increasingly excited.

The women nearby couldn’t stand it any longer and couldn’t help but interject, "Enough already, you guys think you can compare with Gu Chen? Besides, let me see you wrap up some land?"

All they thought about were good things, without looking at what they were capable of.

Could they compare with Gu Chen?

"Not to mention his cooking, which is exceptional, but he’s also generous. He invited so many people for the feast when he wrapped up the land, no skimping at all, all genuine materials. If it were you, who knows how much you’d scrimp!"

"Exactly, it was us badmouthing them first, but look at them, brushing it off with a light laugh. Not only did they not get angry, but they also invited us to dinner another day. Now that’s class!"

Village women really hit the nail on the head with their remarks, leaving the men rolling their eyes in disagreement.

...

Meanwhile, Gu Chen and his group had already set off towards the hospital.

He sat in the passenger seat, his mind occupied with his own thoughts throughout the journey.

In the back, Wu Shuhui was holding Tangtang with such affection, never feeling that she could cuddle her precious granddaughter enough, always wanting to hold her close.

Gazing out the window, Ji Pianran couldn’t stop the scenes of meeting her father and Xiao Chu from flooding her mind.

After all, it had been so many years since she’d seen her father, and he was now seriously ill.

She was genuinely worried about him.

The Rolls-Royce drove smoothly on the road to the hospital and soon arrived at the destination.

Uncle Guang directly drove the car into the hospital, parking it in the only spot available right below the inpatient department.

Gu Chen couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim, damn, rich people do have privileges, with parking spots so close to the inpatient department.

The four of them got out of the car and headed towards the elevator.

...

Upstairs, Ji Guangsheng was lying in bed, while Ji Chu looked on with a worried expression, watching the meal just delivered by the chef and attempting to persuade him.

"Dad, please eat a little more," he implored.

People need food to survive, and now, he was only eating so little each day, not even meeting the daily nutritional requirements, let alone improving his health.

Can this body ever recover?

Ji Guangsheng lay in bed with his eyes closed, his expression tranquil, but he wasn’t asleep, he just wouldn’t speak.

He didn’t want to talk.

He didn’t want to eat, and it wasn’t just because the food was unappetizing.

Honestly, people his age had long since lost that much interest in food.

Eating was merely a tool for keeping oneself alive.

It was just that he truly had no appetite, he couldn’t eat.

He had too many worries.

Just that morning, Secretary Xiao Wang had paid another visit.

He reported that the second son had been stirring up several employees at the unit, spreading rumors everywhere that if the Ji Family didn’t change its leader soon, the Ji business would be doomed for sure.

The man had even started his own small company, luring employees to quit with offers of jobs in his business.

He had the gall to call it not burying talent.

The most ridiculous part was that there were actually those who quit their jobs over this, causing real trouble.

Although a dozen or so employees couldn’t possibly shake the foundations of the Ji business, continued occurrences like these caused panic among the staff, which was trouble after all.

Moreover, he had just arrived in Huangxian, only just establishing his footing.

This was a new company!

His brother’s instigating behavior was simply unreasonable.

Yet, their father had instructed on his deathbed that no matter what the second and third sons did, they must be given a position in the company to support their families.

The third son was not so bold, incapable of raising any serious storm.

But this second son, though he wasn’t capable of causing major disasters, was a constant source of minor troubles.

A real headache.

Because of his father’s last words, Ji Guangsheng had turned a blind eye to the second son’s actions, but now, his brother was becoming more and more excessive, as if Ji Guangsheng were afraid of him.

He pondered with his eyes closed how to get the second son to settle down for a while.

Then he heard the wooden door of the sickroom creak open from the outside.

Ji Guangsheng assumed it was Wu Shuhui coming back from praying, so he did not open his eyes and continued to lie in bed.

At this moment, Ji Chu, who was sitting at the bedside, was already stunned with surprise, having forgotten even to stand up.

He just widened his eyes at the person who came in.

This person, dressed in a woolen coat, with a ponytail, and a graceful appearance, was his own sister!

His most missed relative.

A strong vibration emanated from his heart.

He even forgot to breathe.

Mom and Uncle Guang actually brought sister in?????

And there was also Gu Chen, the one who sold him the matsutake mushrooms?

He was holding a child who looked strikingly like his sister!

What in the world was going on?

Before he had time to think, he saw his sister stagger over to their father’s bedside, tears quickly forming in her eyes, glimmering like ripples in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.

Her lips trembled as she struggled to compose herself.

It was a while before she could speak, her voice quivering.

"Dad...."

The man lying in the hospital bed, Ji Guangsheng, visibly shivered.

That voice?

Pian Ran?

It was his daughter!
