Chapter 371: Chapter 371

Ji Yu told Hu Jianyu in advance about the child, and Hu Jianyu’s expression instantly became very emotional upon hearing it.

In fact, he had thought about this long ago, but he feared Ji Yu might have other thoughts about this matter, so he never brought it up. Now that the opportunity presented itself, he was naturally happy.

Ji Yu also knew he might have been waiting for a long time, so when she brought the little bun along, she purposely had Gu Qixiao join them for the photo.

The family looked harmonious no matter how one viewed them.

However, Hu Jianyu still carried some feelings of regret in his heart.

"Yu, it’s truly wonderful that you’ve come back."

Sadly, Yao was no longer there. If Yao were still alive, she would undoubtedly be extremely happy. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NovelHub(.)net

"Gu Qixiao, I don’t care how big the Gu family’s enterprise is. If you ever dare bully Yu, there’s no way I’ll let you off."

Of course, Gu Qixiao wasn’t capable of bullying Ji Yu.

To him, Ji Yu was someone very important, and they were already together and had a child. If he still bullied her, wouldn’t that make him utterly despicable?

"I know I must protect Yu. She’s the most important existence in my life."

He looked at Ji Yu as if he were gazing at a rare treasure.

Ji Yu felt a bit embarrassed under his gaze. After all, there were other people present, and such a look was inevitably awkward.

Nonetheless, Hu Jianyu hoped the two of them could be happy, so he didn’t find anything unusual about such a gaze.

"Yu, take good care of things with Gu Qixiao. From now on, the company matters will be passed entirely into your hands. It’s time for me to focus on taking care of my health."

Actually, Ji Yu had always thought Hu Jianyu’s condition might have been caused by someone drugging him. Otherwise, such a situation wouldn’t occur.

"Dad, who accompanied you when you went to the hospital for tests?"

"Other than Hu Qianqian, it was my older brother who went with me." He still trusted his family relatively well.

But Ji Yu knew this family wasn’t necessarily good-hearted.

"I happen to be going for a physical this afternoon. If you’re feeling uneasy, you can come along. Honestly, these are just old ailments, nothing too serious." Hu Jianyu smiled at Ji Yu, evidently not taking his health too seriously.

He simply wanted to live a little longer so he could take care of Ji Yu more. If something really happened to him, he might never have the chance to see her again in this lifetime.

Ji Yu thought deeply about it but didn’t say anything outright, fearing he might not be able to handle the shock.

"I’ll go with you this afternoon. I really don’t feel reassured."

She took this matter quite seriously.

If something were to happen, it would be easier for her to handle it on the spot.

In fact, when Hu Jianda saw Ji Yu, he already had a bad feeling. Although he had been very discreet in his previous actions, it was unlikely to remain undiscovered. Especially in recent days, he had observed Ji Yu and knew she wasn’t an easy person to deal with. If something really happened, it would be hard to resolve.

"Yu, are you going to come with us too? Isn’t the company work keeping you busy? If you come along, won’t it disrupt your schedule?"

He smiled kindly at Ji Yu, appearing as though his concern was solely for her work without any ulterior motives.

But Ji Yu had already become suspicious about the matter. Once suspicion arose, she had to investigate to see what was going on. If it turned out there was really no issue, only then could other matters be addressed.

"Don’t worry, uncle. I’ve already arranged the company’s affairs. My main concern is whether my dad’s health might be more serious, so I plan to tag along and have a look."

She seemed harmless, but he knew very well who Ji Yu really was.

Once Ji Yu spotted a flaw, it would be nearly impossible to hide. His fingers gripped his cane tightly from nervousness, clearly showing how much he cared about this matter.

Ji Yu didn’t directly point anything out; instead, she just cared for Hu Jianyu quietly.

Gu Qixiao had some other matters to attend to, but he told Ji Yu that she could call him anytime if anything happened.

"Nothing much will happen here. I happen to have a friend working at this hospital, so when the time comes, I’ll ask them about the situation. Maybe I’ll find a solution."

When she said this, Hu Jianda visibly grew even more tense.

Originally, he had wanted to eliminate Hu Jianyu quickly so the company affairs could settle. But now that Ji Yu was tagging along, it would be hard for him to tamper with anything.

"Yu, you’ve been back for a while now, haven’t you? How’s life at the company recently?"

"It’s alright. I’m adapting fairly well." Ji Yu behaved modestly, but only she knew what she really thought.

During this time, she had researched a lot, and there was no need to feel tense about these matters anymore.

"Qianqian’s actions previously were admittedly foolish. I honestly don’t know what to say about that girl. I just hope she won’t make the same mistakes again."

He smiled apologetically at Ji Yu, seeming somewhat helpless.

But Ji Yu had been monitoring his family’s dynamics for a while and knew this seemingly kind middle-aged man was actually very ruthless. For money, he was willing to do anything—even harm his own brother. Such a person was truly despicable.

"Yu, I hope you won’t hold a grudge against our family because of this. Qianqian was probably just momentarily blinded. Recently, she’s been reflecting on her mistakes. If you two happen to meet, you’ll see how much she’s changed."

To be honest, Ji Yu wasn’t particularly curious about Hu Qianqian’s situation. She wasn’t someone with much intelligence, and her actions were purely based on her own impulsive thoughts. People like that stood no chance of success.

"Really? Maybe it’ll be a while before we meet. After all, she still has many matters to explain. Those things must already be quite troubling for her."

How she fell for it so easily was hard to fathom.
