<h4>Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Misunderstanding</h4>


    Ji Yu truly didn’t know what to say. Should she just say that this ex-husband is him?


    If she didn’t say it, it seemed it could easily lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.


    "Talking about this ex-husband makes me feel repulsed. After all, I don’t have much of a rtionship with this person. The two of us haven’t even met face to face." She could only choose apromise and gently ry the matter to him.


    She hoped he could remember this part of the past.


    After all, their experiences seemed so simr; it would be easy to figure it out.


    Unfortunately, Gu Qixiao clearly didn’t have such a keen sense in this area.


    "Since you don’t want to hear about it, I won’t bring him up again in the future." Gu Qixiao felt somewhat ufortable inside but also knew Ji Yu didn’t like hearing about this ex-husband.


    "It’s not that I don’t want to hear it. I just think it’s a bit unfair to you. Why not talk about your ex-wife instead? That way, the two of us can be more even-handed."


    As soon as she said this, Gu Qixiao mmed uppletely.


    Actually, it wasn’t something he couldn’t talk about; it’s just that the things back then were rather unpleasant for him.


    "What? Are you afraid to speak now too?"


    "It’s not that I’m afraid to talk about it. It’s just that we never actually met, and I did wrong by her." He didn’t remember much of what had happened back then, but he still remembered the words his father had said at the time.


    "So you do have it in you to y the role of a scumbag, huh?"


    "How is that possible? It’s just that at the time, too many things held me back. Plus, I didn’t know this person at all, which is why I made such a stupid decision. Looking back now, no matter what, I should have cleared things up first."


    But the affair was long over, and he didn’t know where his ex-wife was either. There was no point in revisiting it.


    "Yu, I would never let you down, ever."


    Ji Yu felt a bit helpless. She had exined things so clearly, yet he still couldn’t figure it out. She could only wait until the family meeting to reveal the truth.


    "Gu Qixiao, if you were to meet your ex-wife, wouldn’t that be quite the surprise?"


    Gu Qixiao thought she was just jealous and didn’t take her suggestion seriously. Instead, heforted her.


    "No matter what happened in the past, it’s all ancient history now. You are my present and my only one. I will never let you down."


    Seeing how he couldn’t guess who his ex-wife was at all, Ji Yu decided to simply keep quiet.


    "By the way, what’s your rtionship with Ling Xia? Why did she say you secretly liked her?"


    This was something Ji Yu didn’t want to rely on their one-sided ims to conclude. After all, they both seemed a little crazy, and who knew if their words were true or false? It was better to rify directly.


    "When did I ever secretly like her?" Gu Qixiao disyed a thoroughly confused expression,pletely unaware of such a rumor.


    Especially after hearing about Ling Xia approaching her, his expression darkened.


    "She can be extremely obsessed at times. Whenever we encountered her, we tried to keep our distance. She didn’t harm you in any way, did she?"


    He carefully scrutinized Ji Yu’s condition from head to toe.


    Only after confirming that she was fine did he breathe a sigh of relief.


    "Why do you seem so particrly concerned about this? It’s not a big deal, really."


    She had initially been puzzled, so she asked about the situation. Now, upon reflection, it didn’t seem like something that needed inquiry.


    Such things couldn’t possibly be true.


    "Yu, I’m very d you came to ask me."


    This proved there was no major rift between the two of them. Clearing the air was better than anything else.


    Ji Yu addressed the matter with genuine seriousness.


    "Ever since you brought it upst time, I’ve realized we shouldmunicate properly instead of using a confrontational tone to hurt each other."


    Such events, having happened once, wouldn’t ur a second time.


    Both of them were reasonable people who didn’t insist on a battle of life or death.


    She had initially intended to continue speaking but then received a call from Feng Qinqin.


    "What?!?" Her face instantly darkened.


    She didn’t think twice, quickly putting on a coat and rushing toward the door.


    Gu Qixiao noticed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to support her.


    "Yu, don’t get so agitated. Let me go with you. Tell me where you need to go, and I’ll drive you there. Okay?"


    He tried his best to calm her down. It was his first time seeing Ji Yu so worked up—something serious must have happened for her to behave this way.


    "Take me to the hospital. Hurry, get me to the hospital." Tears were already welling up in her eyes, and she looked incredibly anxious. Gu Qixiao didn’t dare dy and took her straight to the hospital.


    After arriving at the hospital, he finally learned what had happened—it turned out Madam Ji had been in a car ident.


    "How could this happen so suddenly? What exactly happened?"


    "We don’t know the specifics yet; the police are already investigating the cause of the ident." Ji Yuanzhou’s emotional state wasn’t great either, and it was evident in his tone.


    Ji Yu’s face turned pale as she recalled Li Yu’s threats back then.


    "It must be because of me that things turned out this way. Why didn’t I take Li Yu’s threats seriously back then?"


    "Yu, calm down. This isn’t your fault. And if you don’t want to do something you dislike, no one can force you." Gu Qixiao, worried about her condition, stepped forward to hold her in his arms.


    Nestled in his embrace, Ji Yu gradually regained a semnce of rationale.


    "I must find out exactly what’s going on." She couldn’t believe things had escted to this point.


    She had to investigate the truth of the incident and find out what motives were at y.


    "Yuyu, let’s wait until Auntie’s surgery is finished first. I don’t think her condition is as bad as we imagined." Though damages certainly existed.


    Feng Qinqin, having been beside Ji Yuanzhou from the beginning, understood how fragile he was now.


    "I understand. After the surgery is done, once I’ve seen Mom’s condition, I will immediately investigate the truth behind this. I absolutely won’t let the culprit of this incident get away with it." Ji Yu’s approach to the matter was deadly serious, showing no inclination topromise.
