The Genius Sweetheart of the Abstinent Goblin Boss

Shocked all the way, they finally arrived at Ji Ran's house and saw Qin Wenzhou standing at the door.

"Hello, Mr. Qin!"

Chi Tao bent down at a 90-degree angle and greeted Qin Wenzhou.

Qin Wenzhou nodded and replied very kindly, "Hello, Teacher Chi."

Chi Tao was somewhat flattered; this was the richest man in China! How could he remember someone as insignificant as her?

However, it's still quite strange that my professor has suddenly become the biological daughter of the richest man.

But what surprised Chi Tao even more was the unchanging old house in front of her. She then turned to look at the small villa across the street that had been renovated into a modern luxury mansion.

Huh? Why aren't they fixing the room I live in?

Seeing the strange girl standing at the door looking around the house, Qiu Lingyue nudged Ji Ran's arm.

"Baby, is that your friend?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Tao was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that this must be Professor Ji's mother.

She was just about to explain that she was Professor Ji's assistant.

But Ji Ran had already nodded while she was still in a daze.

Then, Qiu Lingyue immediately stood up with a smile and walked to the door to greet the guests.

"Oh, it's Ranran's friend! Come in quickly!"

Chi Tao was pulled inside by Qiu Lingyue with a completely bewildered look on her face and settled on the sofa.

Professor Ji's mother, like her, enjoys pulling people in, but one pulls them outwards while the other pulls them inwards.

Wait, no, no!

The key point is that Professor Ji actually admitted to being her friend!!!

Ah!!! She's going to kill me!!!

Chi Tao was internally screaming, but since Professor Ji's parents were all there, she didn't want to appear too crazy, lest his parents stop letting her play with them.

"I just baked an apple pie, let's try it together!" Qiu Lingyue said with a smile, and then went to the kitchen to get busy.

Qiu Lingyue enjoys this feeling. When she was little, she also brought friends home, and her mother would do the same for her and her friends, preparing lots of delicious food.

So she had to do all of these things for her daughter as well.

"Hey, let me help you..." Chi Tao quickly moved her bottom to help, but Qiu Lingyue slipped into the kitchen in a flash, leaving her with only her back view.

She was somewhat at a loss and looked back at Ji Ran.

Ji Ran shrugged. "You sit down. She likes to do those things herself."

Chi Tao nodded blankly, then plopped down on her seat again.

She had naturally watched the Qin family's press conference, so she knew about the series of dramatic events that had led to Professor Ji and her parents being separated.

However, seeing the real person so suddenly is still quite unbelievable.

"Hey," she whispered in Ji Ran's ear, "this is your mother?"

"Hmm~" Ji Ran replied casually.

Although Chi Tao had already guessed it from the resemblance of the other two, she was still somewhat surprised when she confirmed it.

She glanced again at Qin Wenzhou, who stood forlornly facing the wall outside the door.

"Hey," Chi Tao asked again, "Why does President Qin seem so strange? Why isn't he coming in?"

Ji Ran rarely took a deep breath. "Ugh, my head hurts so much~"

"Huh? Why?" Chi Tao asked, puzzled.

Ji Ran didn't bother to think about it and instead frowned, asking, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh! I've come to deliver your invitation." Chi Tao said, taking out a gleaming gold invitation from her bag.

Ji Ran took it and looked at it. It said,

A personal lecture by Luo Muyan, PhD in Biology from Bosh University.

Ji Ran frowned: "You need to notify me about these kinds of personal lectures?"

“Oh dear…” Chi Tao lowered her voice, “After all, she is the leader’s granddaughter, even Old Liu and Old Shen couldn’t refuse.”

Ji Ran casually tossed the invitation onto the coffee table.

Chi Tao blinked and tentatively asked, "You'll go, right?"

"I'm not going." Ji Ran refused decisively.

"Oh dear..." Chi Tao looked troubled. She was really worried that Ji Ran would offend that person too much. She had made a good reason to refuse people a few times before, but she had to go to the whole research institute, so it was hard to refuse.

But she couldn't persuade the fetal spirit.

She looked around again, trying to find someone she could persuade.

Huh? Where's my brother-in-law?

Could it be because Professor Ji's parents came to stay, and the wicked son-in-law is afraid to meet his mother-in-law?

Military hospital.

The brightly lit sign "Operation in Progress" finally went out.

The doctor came out exhausted, and An Lian was the first to rush up to him.

"Doctor! How is he??"

Zeng Yichen and Jingying also went up to greet the doctor, looking at him expectantly.

The doctor glanced at them and said calmly,

"His life has been saved, but the patient had been in a state of pain for a long time, his body was weak and his central nervous system was infected, so it is estimated that... he will have a hard time waking up again, that is, he will be in a vegetative state."

An Lian's legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.

Zeng Yichen reacted quickly and stepped forward to support her.

But the next second, he was forcefully pushed away by his parents.

"Lianlian! Are you alright?"

Zeng Yichen retreated dejectedly, his heart already weary.

"Doctor!! Can you think of another way? Can you ask a specialist to come for a consultation?! He's only thirty-five years old!" An Lian pleaded, tightly gripping the doctor's arm.

The doctor understood the feelings of the patient's family, but he was powerless to help.

"We will do our best, but the hope is really very slim. We hope you are mentally prepared for long-term care."

“We will,” Jingying replied.

The doctor nodded. "The patient will be moved to the intensive care unit in a little while. You can wait over there. Only two people can stay with the patient at most."

Jingying once again stood up for the family. "We understand, thank you, doctor."

The doctor nodded again, then turned and left.

Mr. and Mrs. An exchanged a glance. Mrs. An then said to her daughter,

"Lianlian, since Zeng Yan is out of danger, there's nothing we can do here. Let's go home with Mom and Dad."

An Lian shook her head vigorously, "No! I want to stay with Zeng Yan."

An's father's temper flared up, "What are you going to do, stay with us! Come back with us!"

An Lian's tears suddenly surged forth.

"Dad! Mom! I know I'm useless, I know I'm disobedient, but... but I can't just leave him like this."

"You...!!" Father An was so angry that he raised his hand as if to slap him.

"Hey!" Mother An stepped forward to stop them. "Husband, talk to our daughter properly, don't hit her."

Looking into An Lian's red eyes, which were filled with stubbornness, An's father finally let go of her hand.

"Whatever!" he said, then turned and left.

Watching her husband's heartbroken figure recede into the distance, An's mother felt a pang of sadness. She took a deep breath and spoke earnestly to An Lian.

"Lianlian, you've grown up now. Your parents can't interfere in your life, but you have to think about your own life carefully."

An Lian bit her lower lip and nodded emphatically.

“I know, Mom. I take responsibility for my life.”

Hearing this, Mother An had nothing to say, and could only sigh helplessly.

"Then Mom and Dad are going back. Call us if you need anything."
