Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 395 - 389: Fate Plays with People Like This (Part Four)

He did not respond, silently listening, while also discerning the truth and lies in the old man’s words.

It was possible he was playing games.

"I’ve already had Jingfeng prepare for the handover. By then, I’ll have time to run to City N and make up for what I owe you since childhood."

The old man continued speaking.

"I promised your mother I would give you the best, anything you liked, as long as I could provide it. I have never broken my word to her, not once since before you were born."

Mentioning Chicheng’s mother, the old man’s eyes actually moistened.

The love, longing, and helplessness he showed were real.

"What I wanted and liked has always been simple, just her."

Chicheng finally spoke, his attitude resolute and unwavering, "No one can stop me, not even you, old man. Don’t even think about trying. I won’t fight with them over the Ji Family’s inheritance. Everything I give her is from me."

The old man suddenly laughed, feeling very proud, "Indeed my son. I said the same to your mother back in the day."

His spirits seemed much improved all of a sudden.

By evening, the doctor come to check and then removed the old man’s oxygen.

Dinner, light and prepared by Mrs. Wu, was brought over. The old man ate especially heartily with Chicheng by his side.

"Grandfather."

Suddenly, the door to the hospital room opened, and Jingfeng walked in suited and booted, carrying a briefcase in one hand and a food container in the other.

Upon seeing Chicheng, his expression darkened briefly, then disappeared so quickly it was nearly impossible to catch.

Then he nodded politely to Chicheng, "Uncle."

After saying that, he turned his gaze back to the old man, a pleasing smile appearing on his face, "Grandfather, how are you feeling? Is there anything that’s still uncomfortable?"

As he spoke, he moved closer to the bed.

Reaching the bedside, he set the bag and package on the nightstand, then picked up a pillow and placed it behind the old man, "This should make your back more comfortable."

The old man leaned back comfortably, smiling at Jingfeng, "How was your day at the company?"

Jingfeng nodded, "Very good, I learned a lot."

"I haven’t misjudged you," the old man said, patting Jingfeng on the shoulder encouragingly, "Study well with them, they are all veteran levels at J.C, and have a lot of experience for you to absorb."

"Yes," Jingfeng responded, "You just focus on recuperating, grandfather. I will definitely study hard and take some of the burden off you."

The old man had officially let him enter the company to learn management, meaning the position of Ji Family’s heir was indisputably his.

So now he was fearless.

Thinking this, he turned, looked at Chicheng, and gave him a cold, smug smile.

It was like a victor’s provocation to the loser.

At that moment, the old man suddenly spoke, "Jingfeng, actually, in terms of capability, you still have some ways to go compared to your uncle. But since he has never liked being restrained from childhood, it falls on you. However, if you encounter difficulties at work or need to make important decisions, I still hope you will consult your uncle."

He subtly indicated that the position of successor was given to him because Chicheng didn’t want it.

Upon hearing this, a hint of resentment flashed in Jingfeng’s eyes, but he maintained an upward curve of his lips, "I understand."
