Chapter 842: There’s Someone Waiting For Him
“Something like that,” Ji Shiting said calmly.
Ji Ziliang couldn’t read his mind, so he smiled and said, “Sorry, Shiting. I should’ve let you return to the Ji family.”
“Your surname is Ji too. Why won’t you return to the Ji family?” Ji Shiting said.
“Because I don’t have the right.” Ji Ziliang lowered his gaze. “Ji Ziliang died more than twenty years ago.”
Ji Shiting looked at him as if he was waiting for him to continue, but Ji Ziliang fell silent.
“Old Yuan said that you were knocked unconscious and taken away until you woke up in the hospital. You don’t know what happened during that time, do you?” Ji Shiting asked.
Ji Ziliang’s hand trembled, and he nodded gently.
Ji Shiting smiled.
If he was right, Ji Ziliang had been sober the entire time. He knew what had happened, and Ji Ziliang might have been the one who had sent him to the hospital.
“Do you know who did it?” Ji Shiting asked nonchalantly.
Ji Ziliang struggled for a bit and said, “I reckon it has something to do with the person Jing Zhiyuan left behind. I heard that Jing Zhiyuan has a daughter, and those people might contact that girl. However, that girl is still studying overseas, and she won’t return to China anytime soon. It won’t be too late to pay attention after she returns to China. By the way, you have some ties with Jiang Yu before. You can try to contact him…”
“Mm.” Ji Shiting nodded. “You seem to be familiar with Jing Zhiyuan’s situation.”
“Not at all.” Ji Ziliang forced a smile. “I heard it from Old Yuan.”
Ji Shiting didn’t ask further and smiled.
Ji Ziliang had given him enough information, so he didn’t want to mind his selfishness.
“Shiting, are you… really going back?” Ji Ziliang looked up at him and said. “Can’t you not go back?”
Ji Shiting curled his lips and said, “I’m afraid not. You said you died more than twenty years ago, but in the yes of everyone, I’m just missing.”
After all, there was someone waiting for him.
“Then… When are you leaving?” Ji Ziliang’s voice trembled.
Ji Shiting said, “In the next two days.”
“So soon? I think you should be more cautious…”
“I won’t return to the Ji family so soon,” Ji Shiting interrupted him. “But I won’t stay here anymore.”
Ji Ziliang was rendered speechless.
“Can you come back and visit me when you have time?” He forced a smile.
Ji Shiting paused and said, “If it’s convenient.”
He didn’t promise or confirm anything.
“That’s good, that’s good.” Ji Ziliang seemed satisfied. He nodded and started to boil water in the kettle.
Ji Shiting suddenly felt that his back looked a bit old.
He didn’t say anything else and returned to the living room.

On the other hand, Ye Shengge dragged Sun Ye to several malls and finally bought clothes she was satisfied with.
She started to try the clothes on after returning to the hotel, wanting to choose the best dress to wear to her date with Ji Shiting tomorrow. Sun Ye then came to find her.
“Madam, I’ve canceled all appointments on your schedule for the next two days.” Sun Ye flipped open the schedule. “According to the original plan, we’re going back the day after tomorrow. Do you want to change the flight tickets?”
