Chapter 240: Two hundred and forty - TangTang actually climbed up to the rockery!_1

The little one was so excited by the colorful balloons.

Clapping her chubby little hands, she cheered, "Uncle, look, that red balloon, it’s so pretty!"

Seeing Tangtang happy made Ji Chu happy too.

Right then he said, "In a couple of days, I’ll take you to Haicheng, we’ll go on a hot air balloon!"

Huangxian is a small county, after all, it’s somewhat backward.

But Haicheng, it really has everything.

Hot air balloons on the mountaintop, roller coasters in the parks, and even a safari park with animals running all around.

Guaranteed to give the little one plenty to play with!

Seeing how much Ji Chu doted on the child, Ji Pianran stood by, watching, her face alight with a tender smile.

"If you spoil her like this, what if you spoil her rotten?"

Ji Chu just shrugged, his hands spread wide.

"If she’s spoiled, I’ll just have to take care of her~"

Such an adorable little ball of cuteness, he wished he could keep her with him every day, dealing with kids was so much easier than dealing with adults.

"By the way, sis, have you thought about taking over the family business?"

Ji Chu looked at Ji Pianran, his eyes full of longing.

He really wanted to return to school, he couldn’t get used to the deceit and intrigue of the business world.

Having to package himself up every day, acting mature in front of everyone was truly exhausting.

Now that Ji Pianran had finally come back, bringing such an outstanding brother-in-law with her.

Ji Chu really felt like going back to school.

One’s mood is greatly influenced by the circle they are in.

For Ji Chu, what suited him best and made him happiest was actually school.

Ji Pianran was taken aback, her eyes shifting to Ji Chu.

"Why do you say that?"

To be honest, she knew her brother’s character the best.

He really wasn’t suited for business, but the Ji Family’s vast estate definitely needed an heir, Ji Pianran was very clear about that.

"Because I’m not right for it, sis, don’t you know me?"

Ji Chu spoke with a face full of helplessness.

"I still want to go back to school. At least for now, I really don’t have any plans to do business."

He had been pushed into it, forced to take the helm.

Just like when Ji Pianran was forced to marry Xu Qingmu, she had no choice.

But while Ji Pianran could run away, Ji Chu could not.

If he ran away with the Ji Family in such difficulties, it would really be the end of them.

For the sake of the family, he had to toughen up and enter the business world.

But now it was different, with their dad getting better day by day and his sister bringing such a capable brother-in-law.

All the problems seemed to be unraveling.

So Ji Chu hoped Ji Pianran would agree to return and take over the Ji Family’s estate.

In that case, it would also mean that his sister and brother-in-law’s life was on an upward path.

The brother-in-law was already impressive, and with the backing of the Ji Family tree, it wouldn’t take long for him to become one of the top figures.

And he himself would be freed.

It was a win-win situation.

To be honest, Ji Pianran also wished for Ji Chu to go back to school; he was her little brother, and she wanted his life to be easier.

But she really wasn’t cut out for business.

She needed to think this over more carefully.

Just as she was mulling over it, she saw Uncle Guang and Gu Chen coming over from the riding grounds, each holding a lunch box.

Ji Pianran hurriedly waved at Gu Chen, greeting him with a smile.

"Gu Chen, over here!"

When Xiao Tangtang heard Mom calling Dad, she instantly paused, her little eyes searching for her father’s figure.

She couldn’t help it, she really did love her daddy!

Tangtang looked around but still couldn’t find her father, getting rather anxious. Then she gritted her teeth and climbed up the artificial hill next to the fountain!

It was the tallest point; from there, she could see her dad!

No matter what, she had to find her father!

At the moment, Ji Pianran and Ji Chu were both looking towards Gu Chen, completely oblivious to the little one’s actions.

The artificial hill wasn’t tall, and the little one had over two hundred balloons tied to her arms; she quickly climbed to the top in one go.

Indeed, the higher you stand, the farther you see.

She could now see her daddy, who was walking over with Grandpa Guang.

She waved her hand excitedly while shouting loudly.

"Daddy, daddy, Tangtang is here!"

As she waved like that, hundreds of balloons wobbled in the air at the highest point, instantly drawing the attention of many people.

"Look, look, how beautiful!"

"Wow, how many balloons are there!"

"Such a small child, how did she climb up the artificial hill? That’s too dangerous!"

"Indeed, whose child is this!"

Hearing everyone’s voices, Ji Pianran then looked towards the artificial hill.

At that glance, her limbs were struck with chills, and her legs went weak.

My God, in just a minute or two, how did this little girl climb up there!

That’s too dangerous!

Even Ji Chu couldn’t help but get goosebumps all over!

That’s too dangerous!

If she falls, she’s sure to be hurt badly!

Gu Chen, whose face was still smiling a moment ago, felt his scalp tingle instantly.

His heart rose to his throat!

This child, how did she climb to the top of the hill!

He hurriedly tossed the lunchbox in his hands to Uncle Guang and took two steps at a time toward the artificial hill.

This is life-threatening!

This child, how did she climb so high!

"Tangtang, don’t move, Daddy is coming over right now!"

In the time it took to say those words, Gu Chen had already reached the foot of the artificial hill.

Seeing Gu Chen coming, the little one spread her plump arms, cooing, "Daddy, hug, daddy hug~"

These past few days, Daddy was always busy and hadn’t played with her.

She wanted Daddy to play with her!

Seeing her little body wobble, Gu Chen’s heart clenched tight.

Gu Chen had just climbed one step upward when he immediately started dislodging mud and debris.

Only then did he realize that this wasn’t made of stones at all!

It must have been a mixture of cement and sand but had become unstable over the years.

He couldn’t go up at all!

Gu Chen brought his foot back and said anxiously to Tangtang, "Tangtang, come down quickly, if you come down, Daddy will play with you, okay?"

Hearing that Daddy would play with her, the little one didn’t hesitate and made to come down, but this artificial hill was still a hill, especially for such a small child.

This artificial hill was still a hill after all, easy to ascend but difficult to descend, very steep.

The little one had no idea how to get down.

She looked at Gu Chen blankly.

"Daddy, Tangtang is scared...."

Ji Pianran was also in a panic and shouted loudly, "Tangtang, don’t move recklessly, please don’t move."

It was so high, and Tangtang was such a young child; if she slipped and fell, it would really be life-threatening!

The little one was already a bit scared.

Seeing the anxious expressions of her mom and dad made her even more frightened.

Now the crowd around her was getting bigger, all coming to see what was happening.

Seeing so many people, the little one was truly nervous and scared, not knowing what to do.

She burst into tears instantly.

"Tangtang scared, sob sob, scared."

Despite Tangtang’s small frame, her crying was earth-shattering.

It sounded so anxious.

Everyone involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat.

"Should we call the police? Let them come, they’ll know what to do."

"That won’t work, it’ll take too long, the child can’t stand still for that long!"

Everyone was chiming in, one after another.

Gu Chen carefully surveyed the area, choosing a spot closest to Tangtang.

He looked up, staring intently at his daughter.

"Tangtang, don’t cry, jump down, daddy will catch you."

Ji Pianran watched with a heart-wrenching feeling as Gu Chen said, "That’s so high, what if she falls."
