Hearing that his father, Ji Guangsheng, had been so enraged that he had vomited blood and was hospitalized, and even the factories owned by the family had been shut down,
Ji Pianran could not help but feel anxious.
'Mom, wait for me, I'll buy a plane ticket and go back to Sichuan City!'
However, upon hearing this, Wu Shuhui was taken aback and hurriedly persuaded her over the phone.
'You mustn't be impulsive. Your father's body is fine, he's just suffering from an old illness. But you mustn't come back. If you arrive in Sichuan at this time, won't that be falling right into Xu Qingmu's trap? You're in Haicheng, and the Xu family can't possibly keep tabs on you here.'
'If you come back now, won't you be falling right into Xu's trap? Xu Qingmu will be able to track your movements without any trouble at all. Pienan, you must stay calm!'
Wu Shuhui's tone grew more and more serious as she spoke.
After all, now that her husband was in the hospital, if something happened to her daughter...
She really wouldn't be able to go on living.
Thinking about this, she quickly continued to comfort her on the phone, 'Although this time the Ji family has been seriously injured, your father said that our Ji family has been operating in Chuancheng for several generations and our influence is also deeply rooted.'
'If it weren't for that traitor Ji Changming, who suddenly and unexpectedly schemed against us once, using such despicable methods as Xu Qingmu, he simply cannot threaten us. My daughter, you must not come back at this time.'
'Xu Qingmu did this perhaps deliberately to force you to appear, to stay in Haicheng with Gu Chen. Don't worry, when your father's health recovers a little, our Ji family will not fall.'
Her daughter had been hard to regain, and she and Ji Guangsheng would protect her at all costs!
Ji Pianran's face was extremely ugly after listening to her mother's words.
She was worried about her father Ji Guangsheng's health, and she always believed in her heart that this was the root of the problem left over from her elopement.
If it weren't for this, Xu Qingmu would not have been so unscrupulous in targeting the Ji family.
But at the same time, Ji Pianran also understood that her mother's unspeakable difficulties at this time, even if she really returned to Sichuan City at this time,
she could not help with anything other than causing trouble.
After all, their Ji family was not the Xu family. Although Xu Qingmu was also very young,
he was named the rightful heir by the family from a young age.
And for many years, the Xu family spared no effort in grooming him and paving the way for him to ascend to power.
Coupled with his own outstanding abilities,
at less than thirty years old, he could rightfully take charge of the entire family's affairs.
Ji Pianran has been away from the Ji family for many years, and even if she were to take over the family business now,
others might not recognise her as the suddenly arrived young lady.
Moreover, she has neither authority nor achievements.
Without the help of her father, Ji Guangsheng, it is simply impossible for her to win people over.
So she can only comfort her mother, hoping that she will not worry too much and that she will take good care of herself.
Hearing her daughter's sensible words, Wu Shuhui finally feels slightly relieved.
She says earnestly, 'My dear child, I believe you can do a good job. I just hope that you will be very careful in Haicheng.
After hearing these words, Ji Pianran's nose suddenly became sore, and tears flowed uncontrollably down her face. 'Okay, mom, don't worry, I know what to do.'
Then after Ji Pianran finished speaking, she quickly hung up the phone, afraid that her mother would hear how weak she was.
It was only at noon that Gu Chen finally returned home from the clothing store. Smiling, she pushed open the door and saw Ji Pianran first thing.
At that moment, she was stupidly curled up on the sofa in the living room.
Her eyes, which were originally as moving as a pool of water in autumn, were now a little red from crying too much.
Gu Chen was shocked and quickly walked over to ask what had happened.
Ji Pianran saw Gu Chen and the emotions that had been suppressed inside her exploded out, almost to the point of collapse.
She threw herself into his arms and cried like a child.
'Dad, my dad... that son of a bitch Xu Qingmu'
She was incoherent and her words were disjointed.
However, from his wife's intermittent narration, Gu Chen still understood the cause and effect of this matter.
Just thinking about his father-in-law, who had been laughing and joking with him just two days ago, now lying in bed unable to move,
the anger in Gu Chen's heart began to spread uncontrollably.
Especially when he saw the sad look on the woman he loved the most.
It made his heart feel as if it were being cut with a knife.
He held his wife in his arms and gently stroked her back with his hand.
At the same time, he kept reassuring her in a gentle voice:
'It's okay, Piran, don't cry, don't cry. You just leave this to me. I won't allow anyone to hurt you, whether it's you or your in-laws. Piran, you trust me, and I will make the Xu family pay for this!'
This despicable man Xu Qingmu first forced Ji Piran to marry him, and then repeatedly persecuted his father-in-law.
If he is not properly punished, he really won't know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is!
This is the first time Gu Chen has been so angry.
Ji Pianran lifted that tearful little face and couldn't help but sob softly.
'But, but, mother already told me in advance to let us not reveal too much information. And now that we are both far away in Haicheng, what way do you have to deal with the Xu family? Gu Chen, don't underestimate the other party, Xu Qingmu's influence in Chuanshan is also very great.'
She was worried about her father and also worried about Gu Chen. Xu Qingmu is really ruthless.
He is capable of anything!
Gu Chen slightly narrowed his deep eyes upon hearing the words of the woman in his arms.
'Don't worry, Puyan, I know exactly what I'm capable of, but if I really wanted to deal with him, there would naturally be a way.'
'What way? Tell me quickly.'
In front of Gu Chen, she could never help but reveal that look of dependence.
But feeling the strong self-confidence in Gu Chen's words at the moment, Ji Pianran couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Because she was very clear about the seriousness of this matter.
Both her father, Ji Guangsheng, and her husband, Gu Chen, were the most important people in her life.
She really didn't want to see anyone else have an accident.
Gu Chen saw this, but couldn't help but smile and shake his head, and then whispered in her ear.
'Right now, I still need to do some testing on this plan. Pianran, you go contact the family right away and tell your mother to ask the butler, Uncle Guang, to come over. But the process must be kept a secret, so that no one can trace his whereabouts.'
At that moment, Ji Pianran, who was cuddled in his arms, looked at the man in front of her with a dazed expression. She had never seen Gu Chen look so serious before.
Seeing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her cheek, smiling as he said
'Pianran, listen to me, go quickly.'
Ji Pianran wiped away the tears on her face. Her Gu Chen could always work wonders. By saying that, he must already have a plan. Without further delay, she quickly picked up the phone on the table and dialed.
