The atmosphere in the living room was dead silent, and there was an indescribable solemnity in the air that made people shudder.

Ji Yuqiao sat upright on the sofa, his back straight, his palms nervously clutching the corners of his clothes, and glanced at Ji Tingyang cautiously.

His stern face was cold and his eyes were filled with icy chill as he looked at Ji Yuqiao, making her shiver all over.

Ji Yuqiao quickly looked away and lowered her head, her palms already oozing with sweat from fear.

Ji Tingyang looked her up and down with his deep and cold eyes for a moment, trying hard to suppress the anger surging in his chest. His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he finally spoke in annoyance.

"Where on earth did Mother go?"

Ji Yuqiao shrank her neck and said, "She...she went to the top of Rongshan Mountain to watch the sunrise."

If she wanted to watch the sunrise, she could just tell him. Why did she have to hide it from him?

Ji Tingyang seemed to have thought of something, with a cold smile on his lips, "Did you go with Xie Changyan?"

Ji Yuqiao's eyes flashed with guilt, "How is it possible? She is alone..."

Ji Tingyang cast a light look over, and Ji Yuqiao's voice stopped abruptly, not daring to say another word.

"What benefits did Xie Changyan give you?" Ji Tingyang asked.

"Well...it's nothing, they just gave me a credit card with unlimited limit." Ji Yuqiao hesitated.

"You can be bribed by just a little money?" Ji Tingyang laughed angrily.

"There are also two limited edition bags from abroad. Those bags are very hard to buy. They are small, exquisite and beautiful. They are the bags that all girls dream of. But unfortunately there are only five in the world. You can't buy them just by having money. You also need connections and..."

Under Ji Tingyang's increasingly creepy gaze, Ji Yuqiao gradually closed her mouth.

After a while, she added flatteringly, "Don't worry, brother. Although he bribed my people with money, my heart will always be on your side."

"..."

Ji Tingyang was too lazy to pay attention to Ji Yuqiao, so he took out his cell phone and called Lin Xu.

However, the phone rang for a long time and no one answered.

He called several more times, but the system voice still rang, "The number you dialed is currently unanswered..."

His furrowed brows were filled with annoyance.

"Maybe mom and her father are on a sweet date, holding hands and kissing each other, and they're not paying attention to their phones. You don't have to worry so much, brother." Ji Yuqiao felt touched just by imagining the date scene between her mother and father.

However, when Ji Tingyang listened to her words, his cheeks turned as black as ink and his aura became even lower.

His mind told him that he should not interfere in his mother's life, but his emotions kept reminding him that he should not let anyone take his mother away from him.

Reason and emotion are constantly pulling at each other, and the thoughts in my mind are a tangled mess, making it impossible to tell right from wrong.

suddenly.

The scene of Lin Xu and Xie Changyan's wedding flashed through his mind. She moved out of the villa, had a new life, and would have a new child.

She no longer paid attention to herself and gave all her love to the child.

Gradually, he no longer saw Lin Xu.

He became like he was when he was a child, alone and alone in the villa...

Just imagining this possibility made Ji Tingyang's chest ache violently. His face turned pale and even breathing became painful.

Emotion still triumphs over reason.

"I'm going to Rongshan." Ji Tingyang picked up the car keys and walked out in a hurry.

He is going to bring his mother back.

He didn't want his mother to use Xie Changyan as a substitute again.

"Brother, don't go. It's daybreak now and mother should be on her way back." Ji Yuqiao pulled his arm and persuaded him.

Ji Tingyang remained unmoved and insisted on going over.

No way.

Ji Yuqiao had no choice but to get in the car as well.

Ji Tingyang started the car and drove onto the road. However, it happened to be rush hour, and even Cullinan had to be stuck in traffic, moving forward slowly like a turtle.

He looked at the cars outside moving at a snail's pace, reached out and tugged at the tie around his neck, revealing an inexplicable irritation.

He didn't know why, but he always felt uneasy and couldn't calm down the turmoil in his heart.

"Brother, why don't we go back? The traffic is so congested now that it might take us until noon to get to Rongshan. What if mother comes home just as we get there?" Ji Yuqiao suggested.

Ji Tingyang pursed his lips. He had thought about this possibility, and a flash of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

He took out his cell phone and was wondering whether he should call Lin Xu again when the phone rang first.

The caller ID showed Lin Xu's name.

Ji Tingyang's heart skipped a beat, and he answered the phone hurriedly, "Mother, where are you now..."

"Hello, are you Ms. Lin Xu's family member?" A strange voice came from the other end of the phone.

Ji Tingyang was stunned for a moment, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually grew, "Yes, I am her son."

"She had a car accident on the road and is now in the city center hospital for emergency treatment. Please come now, she..."

Ji Tingyang's mind suddenly went blank and there was a buzzing in his ears.

The nurse was still saying something, but he could no longer hear anything.

Ji Tingyang's face turned pale, and the phone next to his ear suddenly slipped from his palm and fell to the ground with a "thump".

In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the painful time of his childhood.

Suddenly someone came to his house and told him that his father and mother had unfortunately been in a car accident and died on the spot.

Painful memories overlapped, Ji Tingyang covered his chest tightly with his clothes, and his breathing became rapid.

Ji Yuqiao hurriedly supported Ji Tingyang's body and asked in panic: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me..."

"I'm fine." Ji Tingyang opened his mouth, his voice became hoarse and hard, "Let's go to the hospital."

"Okay, I'll call an ambulance to go to the hospital for you now. Brother, you must not die, wuwuwu..." Her voice was tinged with tears and she looked extremely scared.

However, Ji Tingyang had no time to comfort her. He suddenly turned the steering wheel in his hand, turned the car around at the intersection ahead, and sped towards the hospital.

It was a half-hour journey, but Ji Tingyang managed to speed up to reach the destination in ten minutes.

He found the nurse and ran to the ward the nurse mentioned.

When I opened the door of the ward, the smell of disinfectant hit my nose.

Lin Xu lay quietly on the hospital bed, her already fair skin now looked even paler and bloodless.

She had a ventilator on her face and an IV tube in her arm. The beeping sound of the instrument echoed in the ward, which was frightening.

Even though Ji Tingyang was mentally prepared, when he saw her lying lifelessly on the hospital bed, his vision suddenly went dark and he staggered back a few steps.
