Ji Ling wandered back to the Ji Family home in a trance-like state. Mrs. Ji, upon seeing her like this, was both anxious and panicked.
"Linger, didn't you go to talk to Gu Cong about a partnership? Why have you returned so soon? Did the deal go through? Speak up!" Mrs. Ji was beside herself with worry.
Seeing her daughter in this state, she guessed what might have happened. Yet, she couldn't give up hope and longed to hear an answer for herself.
Ji Ling's lips moved weakly, overcome by a sense of powerlessness.
Why was she always inferior to Yun Yue!
The sound of knocking came from the door; it was Ji Maoming's voice.
"Madam? Are you in there?"
"What is it?" Mrs. Ji called out sharply, irritation in her voice.
"Housekeeper Ji just called. Dad's awake; he's asking for us at the hospital," Ji Maoming explained, finding it odd. Why was the door locked in the middle of the day?
Ji Ling turned deathly pale and collapsed to the ground; he had woken up!
Was she finished for good?!
