Chapter 178 True and Fake Gold 6

Lingjiu shook his head slightly, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he said to Ji's father: "Dad, I'm sorry, all this happened tonight because I drank too much. I have never attended such a grand banquet. It was my sister who told me that when drinking with others, I must finish the drink to respect the other party. It's my fault that I can't drink much, so this happened. I forgive my sister, she definitely didn't mean it." After that, Lingjiu leaned his head on Ji's mother's shoulder and sobbed softly. His weak appearance made everyone present feel pity.

"Finish the wine? Don't you know that your sister is weak? Is this how you think about her?" Ji's mother's voice was full of scolding.

Ji Yue looked terrified and quickly explained, "Mom, I really didn't do that. My sister must have been drunk and was talking nonsense."

Lingjiu raised her head slightly, forced a smile on her pale face, and said softly: "Mom, you are angry. I don't blame my sister. Maybe it's because my mother has been closer to me recently, and my sister feels a little aggrieved. I..." Before she finished speaking, Lingjiu's body swayed like a candle in the wind, and then she fainted.

"Xiaojiu! Xiaojiu!" Ji's mother's voice was filled with anxiety and worry. Duan Yizhou rushed forward and carefully picked up Lingjiu horizontally. With a frown on his face, he asked loudly, "She has a fever. Where is the doctor?"

Seeing Duan Yizhou's anxious behavior, Ji's father felt that something was wrong, but at the moment Xiaojiu had a fever and was unconscious, and the situation was urgent, so he had no time to think about it and hurriedly took a few steps to lead the way.

What had originally been a lively banquet ended abruptly when the second daughter of the Ji family, jealous of her mother's love for her older sister, pushed her sister into the water. After this incident, the second daughter's reputation as a jealous person spread like wildfire and became a hot topic of conversation.

The family doctor put Lingjiu on an IV drip, and Duan Yizhou stood by. He was still in the awkward position of not having a proper identity. Due to the inconvenience, he naturally couldn't stay in the room for long.

Seeing that Duan Yizhou was soaking wet, Ji's mother hurriedly said, "You and Axun have similar figures. I'll ask him to get you some clean clothes to change into. Don't catch a cold."

Duan Yizhou bowed slightly and responded politely, "Sorry to bother Aunt Ji."

Mother Ji waved her hand gently with a kind smile on her face: "Oh, you child, you saved Xiaojiu, we can't express our gratitude enough, you don't have to be so polite."

"You'd better go to the guest room and wash up first." Ji's mother added considerately.

After Duan Yizhou left, Ji's father said to Ji's mother thoughtfully: "Yizhou seems to have some special feelings for Xiaojiu."

Mother Ji rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Do you think I can't see it? I've known him for so long, but have you ever seen him take the initiative to meddle in other people's affairs?"

Mother Ji sighed slightly and said softly, "In terms of family background and appearance, these two children are indeed a good match. But Yizhou's luck... is really worrying."

Father Ji quickly took over, his voice unconsciously lowered: "I heard from Old Duan that Yizhou seems to have had a change of fortune recently and hasn't encountered any bad luck in this period of time."

Mother Ji's eyes lit up. "Really? If his luck has really changed, then it wouldn't hurt to let them continue to get along. But if we consider marriage, I'd still prefer to wait a few years. After all, our daughter just came back to us, and I can't bear to marry her off so soon."

Father Ji nodded repeatedly: "Madam is right, how could our precious daughter be kidnapped so easily?"

After a moment, Ji's mother's voice turned cold again: "Then, should we deal with her properly next?"

Father Ji's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "Over the years, she has become more and more daring. She dares to covet things that don't belong to her, without considering whether she has the qualifications."

Ji Yue sat in her room, feeling restless and distraught. She wondered to herself, "How could Ling Jiu, who usually seemed so resolute and decisive, be so frail? He'd caught a fever after just a fall into the water. Now everyone would definitely side with her."

Just as she was feeling anxious, there was a sudden knock on the door. Ji Yue opened the door nervously, and what came into her sight was her father's face filled with anger.

"Dad... Dad." Ji Yue's voice couldn't help but become knotted, with a bit of trembling and panic.

Father Ji frowned, staring at Ji Yue with a sharp gaze: "Yueyue, we didn't cruelly drive you away because we raised you for twenty years. But what about you? Not only do you have no gratitude, you also deliberately hurt Xiaojiu. Your behavior clearly shows that you don't treat us as real family. So, go away, leave this home!"

When Ji Yue heard that her father was determined to drive her away, her legs went weak and she fell to her knees with a plop, tears streaming down her face as she burst into tears: "Dad, please don't drive me away. I really didn't mean to do this. I just care about you too much and am too afraid of losing this family. I will get along well with my sister and respect her from the bottom of my heart. Dad, just give me one chance, please."

Father Ji looked at Ji Yue kneeling on the ground. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Can you promise to be obedient in the future?"

Ji Yue nodded desperately as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, with tears still on her face: "I will, I will be very obedient." As long as she is not driven away, she will do anything. She knows in her heart that she cannot lose everything in front of her no matter what. This is the foundation of her life and all she depends on to survive.

Father Ji sighed slightly, his expression softening slightly: "But it's Xiaojiu who's been hurt. You can only stay if you get her forgiveness. During the few days that Xiaojiu is sick, you should take care of her wholeheartedly."

Ji Yue nodded quickly: "I will. I will take good care of my sister and apologize to her sincerely. I will do everything I can to get her forgiveness."

"Okay, you stand up first. Remember, there must not be a next time." Ji Qing's words were cold and serious, piercing Ji Yue's heart.

"I remember. There won't be a next time." Ji Yue responded quickly, with a trembling voice, trying to hide her inner panic.

Ji Qing left after giving Ji Yue a warning. He knew that Ji Yue was already deeply addicted to the luxurious life before her and would not leave easily.

Ji Yue closed the door and slowly slumped to the ground, a sinister, calculating glint flashing across her eyes. She reached for her phone and quickly dialed the number, but the only sound from the receiver was the annoying beeping sound of no one answering. Unwilling to give up, she dialed several more times before finally, a voice came from the other end.

"Hello, what are you doing? Why don't you answer the phone?" Ji Yue's voice was particularly sharp due to anxiety and anger.

"Yueyue! Your parents have been arrested. I'm your uncle, and your mother's phone is in my hands now."

"What's going on? Why was he arrested for no reason? What on earth happened?"

"I have no idea what's going on! A few days ago, a group of police suddenly showed up and took them away without a word. Until now, there has been no news. Yueyue, you must find a way to rescue them. After all, they are your biological parents."

In fact, Ji Yue had no attachment to her biological parents. If she had a choice, she would have nothing to do with them anymore.

"I understand. I'll find a way. However, there's one thing I need your help with."

"what's up?"
