Chapter 48 - I Don’t Want It

Love. What a beautiful word. Ji Naitang lived for twenty-two years and had never dated or had time to pay attention to that. So, he didn’t know how two people in love acted.

So, his and Cen Muqi’s “backer and mistress” relationship really was different then? Some thoughts that he didn’t dare to have before emerged in his heart, but he was afraid that it was just his own wishful thinking in the end.

Ji Naitang didn’t have long to think before they arrived at Qiu Liwen’s hospital room. He thought about what he would have to face and his good mood that finally became better was instantly gone.

“Dad, look who’s here.” Qiu Yue went over to the hospital bed and said softly, “It’s TangTang. TangTang is here to see you.”

Ji Naitang looked at Qiu Liwen, who had lost a lot of weight. He hadn’t seen him for many years. Now that he was looking at him, Qiu Liwen was very different from the image in his mind. He almost couldn’t recognize him.

“Who let you in here? Get out!” Qiu Liwen’s words were unpleasant, but he had no momentum. They didn’t sound threatening at all.

Ji Naitang smiled and said, “I really didn’t want to come here. But now that I see you like this, I think it’s very refreshing.”

“You…… cough, cough, cough……” Qiu Liwen was so angry that he started coughing. Qiu Yue was scared and quickly went over to pat his back. “Don’t be angry, dad. TangTang is still young. Children……”

“He just wants me to die!” Qiu Liwen had to gasp for breath to speak. His situation really didn’t look good.

Ji Naitang nodded. “It looks like you really understand me.”

“Get out!”

Ji Naitang stood there without moving and looked very leisurely, which stimulated Qiu Liwen even more. Qiu Yue quickly said to Ji Naitang, “TangTang, if you don’t want to speak, then don’t speak.”

“Then why do I have to come when I don’t want to come?!”

Qiu Yue was also angry, but she wasn’t qualified to reprimand him. She could only go comfort Qiu Liwen. Ji Naitang looked around the single hospital room. The environment was really good. He went over to the window and looked down. There weren’t many patients in the garden maybe because today’s weather was a bit overcast. It would probably rain later.

Ji Naitang looked for a while before turning and saying, “Okay. I’m really busy. Didn’t you say you want to see me? If you have something to say, say it. Don’t waste time. I don’t have time to waste. As for you, there’s probably not much time left for you to waste.”

Qiu Liwen had just calmed down, but he was almost angered again. He did want to see Ji Naitang, but he didn’t want to see a Ji Naitang who hated him!

“The environment is really good here. At least, it’s much better than little uncle’s.”

Qiu Liwen’s expression turned even uglier. Ji Naitang smiled and said, “Grandfather, you’re dying. Don’t you want to see your son before you die?”

“Naitang!” Qiu Yue’s voice reproached harshly. Ji Naitang sneered. He was too lazy to say anything else and left the hospital room.

“TangTang!” Qiu Yue chased after him.

Ji Naitang stopped and looked at her. “You wanted me to see him, so I saw him. What else is there?”

“You didn’t answer my earlier question. Did you find someone you like?”

Ji Naitang didn’t expect that she would suddenly jump back to that topic. He didn’t answer, but Qiu Yue could tell from his expression. “That’s good then. You have someone who can take care of you. I’m relieved.”

“That’s all you want to say? Are you done? I’m leaving then.”

“Wait.” Qiu Yue clutched her own clothes tightly and made up her mind. “Son, I let you down before. But don’t worry. I won’t anymore. I will transfer all my shares in Ji Corporation to you.”

“I don’t want it.”

“Whether you want it or not, they’re what you deserve.”

Ji Naitang raised his eyebrow. “Let’s not talk about that. Do you think that Ji Weilou will let you give me the shares?”

“It’s his problem whether he’s willing or not. The shares are in my hands. Believe me. I will help you get Ji Corporation back.”

“How can I believe you?” Ji Naitang rolled his sleeves up and pointed to a few deep scars on his arm. “It looks like there are only a few scars on my arm right now, but this arm was almost disabled back then. I still have those countless large and small scars all over my body. Mom, when I begged you to help me back then, do you remember what you said?”

Qiu Yue’s heart shook. Tears couldn’t help but fall down her face.
