Ji Shaorong and Ren Jiawei both left the sickroom, giving them space.
Even after they left, Assistant Wang’s gaze lingered on Ji Shaorong, "So this is the second young master of the Ji Family..."
This Lord Ji Shaorong is the most mysterious person in the Ji Family, while Bai Lian could still be traced.
But Ji Shaorong was completely out of sight.
Upon seeing him today, Assistant Wang felt unexpectedly that there was nothing remarkable about Shaorong, especially his demeanor.
Just another face in the crowd.
If you weren’t looking confidently, you could hardly notice him passing by your side.
Mu Yining also found Ji Shaorong’s peculiar demeanor surprising; it was hard to believe that Bai Lian and Ji Shaorong were from the same family—he was the complete opposite.
With that thought, Mu Yining entered the sickroom.
Previously, Xiaoqi had told Mu Yining she could come to him if she had any issues, but she hadn’t taken it seriously at first.
Until last night, Xiaoqi’s proposal had startled her, and today she came directly.

Downstairs.
Ji Shaorong and Ren Jiawei sat on the edge of the hospital’s flowerbed.
Ren Jiawei was answering Ren Qian’s call.
On the phone, Ren Qian’s voice sounded aged. He asked about Xiaoqi’s condition before he began to worry about Ren Wanxuan’s situation, "Is there really no possibility of them dropping the charges?"
Ren Jiawei pulled out a cigarette from her pocket, "Dad, Wanxuan really did do wrong."
She was calmer than Ren Qian, reflecting on her separation from Xiaoqi for so many years, bearing grudges against Zhou Jian and Ren Wanxuan.
Especially after Ren Wanxuan knew about it, instead of coming clean, she even attempted to create an accident to make Xiaoqi disappear.
Ren Qian did not respond over the phone, only saying, "I will come back to Xiangcheng tomorrow."
"Dad, he never came to see Xiaoqi," Ren Jiawei said with a sarcastic laugh after hanging up the phone. "He’s been too proud all his life, unable to accept that his grandson didn’t even graduate from middle school."
Thus knowing there was no turning point with Ren Wanxuan’s situation, he was heading straight back to Xiangcheng.
Even when returning to Xiangcheng, he wouldn’t mention his grandson to the relatives.
Ren Wanxuan is Ren Qian’s finest creation; he probably wished Ren Wanxuan were his biological granddaughter.
"If he wishes to change his surname in the future, let him take the Ji surname," Ren Jiawei quietly said to Ji Shaorong, her resentment towards Zhou Jian was severe, "I always thought of him as our family’s lifesaver, but it turns out he was the cruelest one."
Ji Shaorong hugged Ren Jiawei, patting her back, comforting silently.
Fortunately, it was not too late; the situation had not reached the point of no return.

Xu Nanjing called Bai Lian, who was at the experiment center of the physics building at Jiang University.
It was somewhat unexpected, but he drove there nonetheless.
In May, the weather was not too cold; he drove his favorite red convertible.
Jiangjing had no shortage of luxury cars, but his license plate was too conspicuous.
All along the way, he turned many heads.
He touched his nose, parked his car at a designated spot, and walked to the laboratory based on the address given by Bai Lian.
Inside the laboratory, Ning Xiao was having a mini meeting with Hu Yue, Brother Liu, and a few others, discussing issues with the alloy.
