Chapter 134 She's so good at pretending
Cao Huifen glared at Gibran. She couldn't stand her boss's character. He was even worse than a woman.
Several people came out from the hospital bed to the living room. Cao Huifen said with a dagger hidden in her mouth, "Brother, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Don't you care about the old man's property at all?"
"Your eldest branch has taken care of the old man over the past few years, so you must have gained a lot of benefits, right? It's time for our second branch to get a share, right?"
Gibran was obviously angered by Cao Huifen's words, but for the sake of his second brother's face, he stopped talking to Cao Huifen.
Cao Huifen snorted coldly, turned around and went to the sofa outside to check her phone.
Yang Liu's suitcase was still at the door of the ward. After staying in the hospital for a while, it was almost dark.
Because my second aunt Cao Huifen kept her mouth shut, the entire ward suddenly became quiet. At least it was much better than the tense atmosphere just now.
Not long after, my second uncle Ji Boyan also came, dressed in a suit and tie, with a beer belly.
Ji Wanrou introduced, "Yuanyuan, this is your second uncle."
Yang Liu obediently called out "Second Uncle", but no emotion could be heard from her expression.
When Ji Boyan saw Yang Liu, he just nodded indifferently.
Yang Liu's sixth sense told her that this second uncle was no pushover either. Ji Boyan had only been there for a short while.
Another thin middle-aged woman came in, followed by the Ji family's housekeeper.
"Dinner is ready. Is everyone here? We can get ready to eat!"
Ever since the doctor issued the critical illness notice, the Ji family's dining table was moved to the hospital. After dinner, everyone took turns to take care of the old man in the hospital at night.
It’s called care, but in fact it’s just staying overnight in the hospital. There is a separate bedroom in the ward, and there are two nurses to take care of you at night.
The family members only need to sleep here. Yang Liu just found out that the hospital where the old man lives is the ceiling of private hospitals in Shanghai.
Since they were already here, it would be wrong not to say hello. Yang Liu followed Ji Wanrou forward and called out "Aunt!"
Aunt Mei Ying is much kinder than aunt Cao Huifen. When she saw Yang Liu for the first time, she praised Yang Liu for her good looks.
"I didn't notice you when I came in just now. I didn't expect you to arrive today. I thought you would arrive tomorrow at the earliest. I was planning to ask your cousin to pick you up at the airport tomorrow!"
After saying that, he took Yang Liu's hand with a smile, and his words revealed his concern for Yang Liu.
Yang Liu trusts her sixth sense more and thinks that this aunt-in-law is still something she can get along with for now.
After an afternoon here, Yang Liu had sorted out most of the relatives on her mother's side.
My grandfather Ji Chengzhou had three children, two sons and one daughter.
The eldest son, Gibran, has a wife, Mei Ying, and a son who should be a few years older than himself. My mother said that he is already married.
The second son, Ji Boyan, and his wife, Cao Huifen, have a son and a daughter. The second son’s child is a little younger than the others.
Neither the son nor the daughter is married. The son is in Shanghai, and the daughter, I heard, is working in Kyoto.
As for the younger generation, Yang Liu hasn't seen any of them yet.
As for the younger daughter, that is, her mother Ji Wanrou, she lost contact with her family a few years ago, so Yang Liu had no impression of her anyway.
It seems that the families of these uncles should be well-off. Not only do they live in such a large ward, but they also have housekeepers and bodyguards.
It turns out that my mother used to be a rich person.
Yang Liu couldn't help but recall that when she was in school, in order to raise tuition for Yang Liu, Ji Wanrou drew pictures for others in the park every day, charging 20 yuan per picture. She didn't know how many pictures she drew.
Only then did I support Yang Liu until he graduated from university!
Ji Wanrou spoke, interrupting Yang Liu's thoughts. Her aunt had already asked the housekeeper to prepare the food, which was on the dining table outside.
Mei Ying was just ordering someone to pull up a chair when the eldest son, Ji Youhui, arrived. Mei Ying glanced at her son in a reproachful manner and said, "We're all ready to eat, and you're just here now. Go say hello to your cousin!"
Ji Youhui looks gentle and refined, and at first glance, he gives people the feeling of the big brother next door.
When meeting Yang Liu for the first time, Ji Youhui took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "Cousin, I am your cousin, Ji Youhui."
Yang Liu smiled and nodded, returning the handshake, "Hello, cousin. I'm Yang Liu."
Ji Youhui, "I seem to be four or five years older than you. When we were little, I held you in my arms. You probably don't remember."
Yang Liu chuckled, "Indeed, I was probably too young at that time."
In fact, when Ji Youhui said he held Yang Liu, Yang Liu was only one year old. Who would remember things from such a young age!
Ji Youhui didn't care. He went to see his grandfather first, and then came back to continue telling Yang Liu some interesting stories about Yang Liu's childhood.
The table was filled with food, just like in a restaurant. Yang Liu just watched it all and said nothing.
Hearing the noise, Cao Huifen also got up from the sofa and walked to the dining table. She looked at the dishes on the table and said, "It has to be the eldest sister-in-law. She is used to serving people, so she is quite good at delivering meals."
"Unlike me, I still have to work hard to take care of the old man in the hospital!"
Mei Ying smiled and said, "My second brother's wife is very considerate, so she can take care of the old man. Unlike me, I just hang around the stove all day and can only do odd jobs!"
Yang Liu had only been there for a while but she could already tell that Cao Huifen didn't seem to get along well with her family and was always sarcastic.
Jian Youhui couldn't bear it any longer, "Second Aunt is working too hard, why don't you go home and have a rest? Everyone is here anyway, and Grandpa won't need Second Aunt to take care of him."
Everyone knows what Cao Huifen is thinking. The old man doesn’t have much time, and one reason she wants to do this is to create an image of a good wife and mother for herself.
Secondly, she was afraid that the old man would secretly give benefits to the people in the first wife while the people in the second wife were away. Having just one first wife was enough to annoy her.
Now there is a little daughter who has come out. She has suffered a lot outside over the years, and the old man feels very guilty.
Cao Huifen was worried that Ji Wanrou was doing something behind her back, so she stayed in the hospital all day.
To put it nicely, it is to take care of the old man. To put it bluntly, it is to keep an eye on the old man, for fear that he will secretly give benefits to others.
Cao Ying felt a little guilty after hearing what Ji Youhui said, so she could only reluctantly say, "Why are you saying these things? We are all family, it doesn't matter who takes care of us."
Yang Liu lowered her head to eat, and couldn't help but want to give a thumbs up to her second aunt, who was absolutely amazing.
She should be invited to the Best Actress award, she is so pretentious.
The second son, Ji Boyan, sat in the main seat. "Speaking of which, it's time to ask the company to sort out the accounts, old man..."
After Ji Boyan finished speaking, he looked at the old man lying inside, and shut up for fear that he might hear it.
Gibran sat aside and was silent for a moment. "No matter what others say, I listen to my father!"
