Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Live Well to Meet the People You Want to See
She didn’t know that the disheveled image of her was fully captured by someone in an SUV across the street.
Xiao Mingwei stared at the girl outside, his lips slightly moved, "Drive the car over there."
The bait was about to take the hook.
The driver made a U-turn at the intersection and stopped right next to Ji Ling, honking the horn twice to catch her attention.
She looked towards the gradually lowering window with a venomous gaze.
"Miss Ji, do you need help?" Xiao Mingwei asked calmly.
His gaze fell on the disheveled her, those eyes filled with malice and unwillingness were exactly what he wanted.
Ji Ling stared at him and asked coldly, "What’s the condition?"
Xiao Mingwei chuckled lightly, "Miss Ji is indeed intelligent, I won’t beat around the bush with an intelligent person, I can help you get everything you want... the condition... is simple, it just depends on whether Miss Ji is willing to give it."
Xiao Mingwei’s unabashedly invasive gaze landed on her.
The wet chiffon dress clung tightly to her skin, accentuating her figure, and indeed it was hard not to be moved.
Ji Ling felt intense disgust and nausea inside, but thinking of her current plight and Yun Yue’s duplicity, she couldn’t care about anything else.
"Alright, I agree," Ji Ling said resolutely. The rain grew heavier, hitting her harder and causing more pain, yet it was nothing compared to the ache in her heart.
"Get in the car, don’t get soaked, or I’ll feel bad," Xiao Mingwei’s lips curved slightly upwards.
Ji Ling got into the car, which gradually disappeared into the curtain of rain.

At the Ji family’s conference hall, even though Ji Ling had run out, no one went after her; after all, what they valued most was benefit.
If Yun Yue could bring greater benefits to the Ji family than Ji Ling, they naturally felt Yun Yue was more suitable to be the Ji Family Patriarch.
In fact, they had already seen Yun Yue’s potential on the day of Elder Ji’s birthday banquet, but Ji Ling had promised them a lot of benefits at the time.
However, the benefits brought by Yun Yue’s current power had far exceeded those promised by Ji Ling.
There was no reason not to support Yun Yue.
"Since that’s the case, let’s settle this matter as such. As for Ji Ling, although she’s not the biological daughter of the Ji family, she is still a daughter of the Ji family. In the future, when Yun Yue takes over Ji Corporation, she will be the vice president," Ji Xian decided firmly.
No one had objections to Elder Ji’s proposal.
After the meeting, Yun Yue helped Ji Xian to the bedroom.
"Ji Ling is your uncle’s daughter after all, though I don’t have much affection, as long as she manages Ji Corporation wholeheartedly, she won’t be treated unfairly. If she harbors other intentions, you don’t need to worry about personal feelings," Ji Xian said while walking.
"I will," Yun Yue helped him sit down, then took out a silver needle from her school bag.
"You’re handling things well, it’s just that many things are beyond my physical capability now, I’m getting old!" Ji Xian’s breath was a bit unstable, and his frequent breathlessness had become more severe.
"You’re only seventy years old, what are you calling old?" Yun Yue signaled for Housekeeper Ji to help him lie down.
Listening to her domineering words, Ji Xian chuckled annoyedly and, with the help of Housekeeper Ji, lay down on the bed.
Yun Yue placed her right hand on his pulse and then began the acupuncture, noticing the desolate look in his eyes, her gaze flickered.
"Being alive is the only way to see the people you want to see."
His words struck fiercely at Ji Xian’s heart, causing him to suddenly open his eyes, his voice trembling, "What... what did you just say?!"
The person he most wanted to see was Wen Jun. Was this what she meant to say?!
"The person you want to see is still alive!"
His health deteriorated day by day. If he knew this news, it could give him the will to live on, more effective than any medicine.
"Miss, do you mean Miss Wen Jun is still alive?!" Housekeeper Ji also heard and hurriedly asked.
"Yes, she is alive, but she doesn’t remember anything." Yun Yue carefully observed his expression, fearing that he couldn’t handle the news and might faint.
Upon receiving Yun Yue’s answer, Ji Xian started coughing excitedly, swiftly sitting up in bed, tears streaming down his face as he trembled, "It’s good that she’s alive, good that she’s alive. Whether she remembers or not doesn’t matter."
Over the years, he had asked for nothing more than for God to bless Wen Jun. As long as she was alive, whether she remembered them or not didn’t matter.
Now, getting this news, he couldn’t express how happy he was.
"Where, where is she now?" Ji Xian tightly grabbed Yun Yue’s arm, looking at her expectantly.
Since she knew Wen Jun was alive, she must know where she was!
Yun Yue pondered for a moment before speaking, "She’s been in M country all this time. I just found her a few days ago. I planned on trying to restore her memory, but then I thought it might not be necessary."
She’s currently carefree. The memories from the past might not be pleasant, or maybe when she regains her memory and learns the truth, she might struggle to accept it and could react drastically.
"Can I see her, just once, even just once would be enough?" Ji Xian’s pleading eyes resembled those of a child yearning for candy.
"You are her father, of course, you can see her, but it needs some preparation." Yun Yue didn’t dare take Ji Xian to see her rashly, planning to first gauge her feelings.
"I can wait!" Ji Xian, afraid he might not see her, was willing to wait as long as possible just to see her.
"So, you must get better, live as many years as you can, and enjoy family happiness." Yun Yue’s gaze was deep.
When she was a child, she said the same to her grandfather. At that time, she was only five years old, and her grandfather was often away from home. She told him that when she grew up, she wanted him to enjoy family happiness and stop running around, but...
"Good, I will take my medicine on time and remember your advice."
He must live a few more years!
After administering the acupuncture, listening to his even breathing, Yun Yue gently covered him with the blanket and glanced at Housekeeper Ji.
"Miss, how much longer can the master’s body hold on?" Housekeeper Ji was somewhat worried.
Knowing that the young lady was not only alive but also nearby, he must be overjoyed.
He just feared that his body wouldn’t hold up much longer, leaving little time for father and daughter to reunite.
"It’s hard to say, he currently shouldn’t worry too much or experience too much emotional fluctuation. If he takes the medicine I provided on time and in the right doses, he certainly has three years."
Housekeeper Ji looked worriedly towards the man in the bed, hoping the master could live a few more years.

Xiao Family, today was the day Second Young Master Xiao was released. His branch of the family couldn’t have been more celebratory; early in the morning, they had the Xiao family prepare a banquet to welcome him back and cleanse him of his past.
"I say, sister-in-law, it’s one thing for your family to have a banquet behind closed doors, but to parade it around like this, those who don’t know might think Second Young Master has come back after bringing glory to the nation," Jiang Qiong sat on the sofa, cracking melon seeds, listening to Yang Li’s boastful, triumphant laughter.
It was almost as though they hadn’t just set off fireworks to celebrate.
What is there to celebrate about coming out of prison.
"Big sister, what are you saying? Would Jingping have been put in if it weren’t for Xiao Chen?"
Yang Li got worked up at the mere mention.
During this period, she had been laying low, but now that Jingping was out, she no longer had to tolerate the domination of the main house.
