There was dead silence in the office. Neither of the two brothers spoke. The atmosphere was filled with sorrow.
"When did you know? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ji Yueze lowered his arm and raised his head to look at his brother. There was a hint of resentment in his voice.
"I only found out not too long ago. Before this, I would ask the doctor about grandpa's condition every day, but the doctor also gave me the same answer, always telling me that grandpa's condition is good." Ji Xiaohan replied stiffly with sadness on his face.
"This quack, he lied to us like that, aren't you afraid that I'll smash his signboard? What do you think we are? "How dare you lie to us about your grandfather's relationship." Ji Yueze cursed angrily.
"Scolding him is useless. It was all agreed upon by grandpa and grandma!" Ji Xiaohan was able to accept the truth calmly.
"Grandpa is really stubborn. He's so sick, yet he doesn't let us know. He's actually trying to make us worry about him, isn't he?" Ji Yueze was angry at the old man again.
"Grandfather just doesn't want us to grieve for him. I believe that every elder is willing to understand this matter." Ji Xiaohan explained in a low voice.
Ji Yueze suddenly realized that there was no one left to scold. He felt discouraged and stared blankly at Ji Xiaohan: "Then what can we do now? "Brother, tell me!"
Ji Xiaohan stared at him. Then, he sighed: "At least, while grandpa is still here, don't do anything to make him angry."
"What do we do? Wasn't he angry? Don't tell me we have to make Ji Lin's Clear Cloud Art go away? " Ji Yueze's mind was in a mess. He almost lost his balance. He felt like venting his anger.
"I've already decided to get engaged to Youyou. I've already asked Lu Qing to help me with the preparations. In three days, we'll have our wedding scheduled and we'll be getting married by the end of the month!" Ji Xiaohan told them his decision.
"Engaged in three days? Is there time to be prepared in such a hurry? " When Ji Yueze heard about this, his expression was blank for a moment. Then, he frowned as he felt that he didn't have enough time.
Enough, I'll try my best to make them prepare a bit more extravagantly in a limited amount of time. Because the decision is too hasty, I can accept everything that is imperfect. I just want to make grandpa happy and let him feel at ease!" Ji Xiaohan answered in a low voice. He, who had been on high alert, was no longer concerned with the details. All he wanted was this result. Engagement, marriage, one step at a time.
"Alright, brother. Coincidentally, I have nothing to do these past few days. I'll help you prepare the engagement banquet as well." Ji Yueze, on the other hand, hoped that his elder brother's engagement party would be grand. Tang Youyou was worthy of elder brother giving her his best memories.
Ji Xiaohan's handsome face finally had a hint of a smile. He said gently, "I won't trouble you. I've already asked Lu Qing to do this. He's quite capable. I believe he'll satisfy me!"
"But I want to help too!" After Ji Yueze said this, he suddenly looked up and met his big brother's uncertain eyes. He immediately explained anxiously: "Brother, don't misunderstand, I want to help. It's not because I still have any thoughts about Tang Youyou, I just want to help you arrange the engagement banquet better!"
Ji Xiaohan couldn't help but laugh when he saw his anxious face swelled up. "I know. You don't need to explain it to me. I have already seen that you have a very special relationship with Bai Yiyan."
"She? I don't want to talk about her now! " Anger flashed across Ji Yueze's face. It was obvious that Bai Yiyan's deception had completely broken his heart.
Ji Xiaohan said warmly, "Don't hold grudges against her. She is also loyal. You could tell from the recording just now that she only cared about family relationships and didn't want to escape for Bai Zhenzhen's sake."
"I don't care what she wants to do, she lied to me!" Ji Yueze gritted his teeth.
"Don't you hate her so much that you fought for her last night?" Ji Xiaohan felt that his brother was sometimes very childish and said that he didn't like him, but in his heart, he already treated him like a treasure.
"That's because... I don't like others to touch my stuff, even if it's something I don't want! " Ji Yueze found a very far-fetched reason.
"Alright, I won't try to persuade you otherwise. This is your relationship, you decide it yourself!" Ji Xiaohan decided not to bring it up again.
"Brother, are we really not going to publicize this matter before grandpa leaves? What if Ji Lin's efforts were to advance by an inch? "Maybe he has even more despicable methods waiting for you. This time when he comes out, he probably wants your position. So, you have to be careful of him!" The more Ji Yueze thought about it, the more unwilling he became.
"Of course I've always been on guard against him. Don't worry, I won't let my guard down!" A trace of hostility flashed across Ji Xiaohan's cold eyes as he clenched his big palm into a fist.
"Brother, how much time do you think your grandfather has left? Was it a year? " Ji Yueze suddenly looked like a frightened child, with unease flashing across his eyes.
"I hope it's a year, but the situation isn't looking good. Maybe a few months, maybe ??" Ji Xiaohan suddenly became silent. He did not want to continue.
Ji Yueze's body froze and his expression showed unease: "Will it really be that fast? If Ji Lin knew about this, would he have stopped? Did he not feel that his grandfather's severe illness all those years ago was caused by him? Would he feel a little guilty? Does he have a conscience? "
Ji Xiaohan sneered and said sarcastically, "Do you still expect a person who can even make a move on his own brother to have any conscience? He has always resented his grandfather's bias in his heart. If he were to find out about this news, he would probably have to fight over the shares in his grandfather's hands at the first possible moment! "
Ji Yueze's expression changed. That's right, he was dreaming. He thought Ji Lin would turn back and be at the shore.
"Big brother, then even more so, don't let him know about grandpa's situation. When he's ruthless, he really doesn't care about grandpa's life!" Ji Yueze said angrily.
"He will be here tonight. Do you want to meet him?" Ji Xiaohan sneered.
Ji Yueze shook his head: "I don't want to see him, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist killing him!"
"You have to calm down! The other party is a dog, and you're not one! You won't bite people recklessly!" Ji Xiaohan directly taught his brother.
Of course Ji Yueze couldn't actually kill someone. He just felt that he had a bad temper. After seeing Ji Lin, he couldn't keep his cool and cause any unpleasant things. That would probably irritate his grandpa.
"Alright, I'll do my best to control my temper. Bro, take the recording. I'll be leaving first!" After Ji Yueze said this, he turned around and left. However, he didn't feel the excitement like when he first arrived anymore.
