Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Big Brother

He deliberately emphasized the word "brother," clearly paying extra attention to this matter.

But Ji Yuanzhou was not to be outdone. "Of course, I know I’m Yu’s brother, it’s just that certain people had best not cross the line, or things might get ugly."

He didn’t have any good impression of Gu Qixiao. From the moment he saw him, he knew there was no way they could ever be friends.

Gu Qixiao didn’t care. "Is that so? Who knows, maybe one day I’ll be your brother-in-law. Surely you understand something so simple, don’t you?"

His determination to win over Ji Yu was unwavering.

Ji Yuanzhou snorted coldly, clearly scoffing at the idea.

Gu Qixiao remained unaffected by his reaction. "If there’s nothing else, please head back. If you want to see her, all you need to do is let Assistant Li know."

With that, Gu Qixiao turned and went upstairs without another glance.

And so, the matter ended up unresolved for now.

But Ji Yuanzhou had a foreboding feeling, as though he was about to lose Ji Yu once again.

The next day, Ji Yu waited until the mark on her face had completely faded before going downstairs.

"Yu, since your face has just recovered, you could hold off before going back to work for a while."

He was somewhat worried about Ji Yu.

But Ji Yu was even more concerned about the situation at the hospital.

"It’s fine, I’m just going to check in. There are no surgeries today anyway, but I can’t stop worrying about what’s happening at Chongxin."

After saying this, Ji Yu hurriedly ran out, as if afraid they’d keep her at home.

Ji Yuanzhou’s words were cut off halfway, and he could only watch Ji Yu leave like that.

In fact, he had wanted to say he could give her a ride back.

At the moment, Ji Yu’s mind was consumed with Sun Yongxin’s issues; everything else had to take a backseat.

"Mr. Sun, I believe we need to have a good talk. I don’t mean anything else by it, but I do want to discuss the behavior of your family members."

As she brought this up, her expression carried a trace of helplessness.

"Did they cause trouble for Miss Ji?"

Sun Yongxin was still unaware of the events from the previous night, his face full of confusion.

Ji Yu didn’t intend to drag it out. "I was kidnapped by Sun Shou last night. Fortunately, someone saved me in the end. Still, this incident serves as a wake-up call for me. I think I have the right to know what’s going on."

Previously, she wasn’t involved in these matters and could approach them calmly, even feeling that Sun Yongxin wasn’t a significant issue.

But given how things had progressed, Ji Yu had to uncover the truth. Otherwise, what was the point of having gone through the kidnapping?

Sun Yongxin was visibly shocked. "Miss Ji, are you alright?"

"Apart from being threatened and getting slapped, I wasn’t harmed. I can ensure the safety of my patients, but as for this ordeal, I still need some answers."

She sat to the side, eyes clouded with doubt as she pondered what on earth was wrong with this family.

Sun Yongxin sighed helplessly. "Doctor Ji, this situation certainly stemmed from my lack of arrangements. I didn’t expect them to go this far."

He expressed his apologies for what Ji Yu had endured and hoped she would let go of the matter.

"I accept your apology, but as for Sun Shou’s case, it’s not in my hands. Whether I care or not makes no difference."

Sun Yongxin paused briefly. "Forget it. I suppose I shouldn’t meddle in their affairs. I was the head of the Sun family before, but now that I’ve handed over power, I naturally have no further ties to them."

He had once been prominent, but now he seemed rather despondent.

Ji Yu raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? Then I’m curious—do you plan to keep hiding from them?"

With a relationship like this, they were bound to clash again sooner or later.

She didn’t think avoiding them was a viable strategy.

And with Sun Shou’s stunt last night, those people would almost certainly stir up trouble again soon.

"I understand you might not want to engage with them, but as long as you’re at Chongxin, they’ll inevitably come looking for trouble."

For previous incidents, Ji Yu could step in to shield him, but with the tactics they’d used, she wasn’t about to let everything go unchecked.

"I get your point. I have indeed caused Dr. Ji quite a bit of trouble lately."

While they spoke, Tian came running over in a hurry. "Sister Yu, those people from yesterday have come again, shouting for us to hand over their son."

A decent-sized crowd had gathered to watch the commotion.

Ji Yu felt a headache coming on, understanding that it was crucial to resolve this properly to prevent larger issues down the road.

"I see."

She hadn’t even stepped out when the door to the ward was kicked open.

Two women and two burly men crowded into the room, instantly filling the space.

When they saw Ji Yu, there was clear hatred in their eyes. "You little bitch, where did you take my son?"

Her words spat out "little bitch" without a second thought, showing complete disrespect for Ji Yu.

Ji Yu frowned. "I suggest you mind your language. As for your son’s whereabouts, what does that have to do with me?"

She had no idea where Sun Shou was. Based on the situation last night, they should already be aware of it, yet they had the audacity to pull something like this.

The nerve they had was truly astonishing.

And yet, they showed no shame, clearly unwilling to let Ji Yu off the hook.

"You little bitch, my son came looking for you last night, so you must have hidden him."

"Oh? Then why don’t you tell me what your son wanted from me and when he came to see me?" Ji Yu’s small face displayed anger, but getting upset with people like this already felt like losing the upper hand.

All she felt was that these people were utterly unreasonable.

"What do you mean by that?"

Seeing Ji Yu’s reaction, they found her particularly irritating.

They knew full well what had happened the previous night but didn’t dare to state their case outright.

"That’s something I should be asking you. Is explaining things clearly really so hard? All I need is an explanation from you—what exactly did he want from me last night?"

There was no way she’d fear people like this. Moreover, it should’ve been obvious who was in the wrong here—didn’t they understand that?

On the hospital bed, Sun Yongxin sighed in exasperation. "How much longer are you planning to keep this nonsense up? Do you really think your disgraceful acts need to be aired publicly?"

In the past, he’d walked away because of their unreasonable antics. Seeing them escalate further now only filled him with deeper disappointment.

One of the women turned visibly meek upon seeing Sun Yongxin. "Second Brother, you can’t blame me for this. I just want to find my son. Besides, we’ve been worried about you since you haven’t come home in years."

Though her words sounded considerate, the calculating glint in her eyes was impossible to hide.
