Chapter 386: Family Banquet (3)
Everyone in the Ji family knew very well how much the Old Master doted on Ji Haoyu and Ji Haoxue. They also knew that a large part of this doting was related to the Ji family’s eldest son, Ji Yansong.
Or perhaps his love for Ji Yansong was transcended to his two children.
However, it had been many years since anyone dared to mention the name Ji Yansong in front of the Old Master.
The eldest son of the Ji family, Ji Yansong, had outstanding talent and was swift and fierce. He was originally Old Master Ji’s ideal successor to take over the Ji Group. Unfortunately, eight years ago, while the Old Master was preparing to retire and enjoy his later years to hand the Group to Ji Yansong, he suddenly left without a word. It was as if he had vanished from the face of the earth without leaving a trace. After he left, he never returned.
Old Master Ji thought of everything and used everyone he could, but he could not find him.
At that time, Ji Haoyu was just like Jian Ai now. He was just a fourteen-year-old child, while Ji Haoxue had just celebrated her fifth birthday.
Fortunately, Ji Haoyu was outstanding enough. As he gradually grew up, Ji Haoyu’s excellence even gradually exceeded his father, Ji Yansong. It also exceeded Old Master Ji’s expectations.
With a successor to the Group, it also allowed the old man to find some comfort in the heartache of losing a son.
This was also the reason the old man was still not retired despite being in his sixties.
He was waiting for the day Ji Haoyu grew up so that he could strategize and take over the company.
The current Ji Haoyu was already twenty-two years old, and the old man was almost in his sixties, so the Ji family knew that before long, there would be a new CEO of the Ji Group.
“Haoyu, when Haoxue comes back this time, does she still plan to study abroad?” The Ji family’s second master looked at Ji Haoyu and asked.
“No, Grandpa is old. Haoxue said that she wanted to spend more time with him, so when she comes back this time, she will stay in Baiyun City to study in high school,” Ji Haoyu said.
Hearing this, the old man was so happy that his eyes couldn’t be seen. “Haoxue is still the sensible one. She knows how to dote on me.”
Everyone saw this. It was unknown how everyone, especially Ji Haoyu’s two uncles, Ji Yanbai and Ji Yansen, felt.
Ji Haoyu alone was enough for the Old Master to not see their children. Now that Haoxue was back, they could not enter the Old Master’s line of sight even more.
Because Ji Haoyu was present, the old man was also exceptionally happy. Although some people had their own thoughts, the atmosphere of the meal was relatively harmonious.
After dinner, Ji Haoyu did not plan to stay long. He only accompanied the old man for a while before leaving.
Outside the villa, the butler handed the car key to Ji Haoyu and said worriedly, “Young Master Haoyu, the Old Master has been suffering from insomnia recently. He found a traditional Chinese doctor and was prescribed Chinese medicine. However, drinking too much medicine is ultimately harmful to the body. I think if you have nothing during this period, you can come back and stay for a while.”
The butler was called Wu Yong. He was an old man in his fifties in the Ji family now. He had watched Ji Haoyu grow up, so he was not as careful when he spoke compared to others.
Ji Haoyu respected Butler Wu very much. Hearing this, he nodded slightly. He put away his fierce aura and was unexpectedly gentle. “Alright, I’ll try my best to make arrangements. When Haoxue comes back tomorrow, let her stay over to accompany Grandpa first. I’ll have to trouble Uncle Wu to take good care of him during this period.”
Wu Yong quickly nodded with a friendly smile. “Don’t worry, Young Master.”
