On the way, Chi Wan received Wei Yun's call again, and after making some reassurance with Wei Yun, she was able to hang up the phone.
By the time she arrived at Chi's house, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
At this moment, the Chi family villa was lit with warm lights. Chi Wan was sitting in the car, looking sideways at the place she was most familiar with, feeling a little uncontrollably bored in her heart.
After a moment, she withdrew her gaze, pressed down a small gap in the car window, picked up her mobile phone and pressed the number of Ji Yanli.
The phone rang for nearly a minute, but Ji Yanli didn't answer it.
Chi Wan did not continue to fight, but lowered his eyes and thought about things silently.
Xiaoqi's illness indeed required transfer to a hospital as soon as possible, but the authoritative hospital to which he was transferred was notoriously difficult to access and expensive in Beijing.
In addition to the cost issue, it also requires connections.
She can also find a solution for the money problem, but she has no solution for the time being for the quota problem.
Ji Yanli's words yesterday made her somewhat unclear about his attitude. He neither explicitly refused nor agreed.
As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she wanted to hold on to it.

When the quarterly banquet ceremony came out of Chi's house, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Chi Wan was about to get out of the car, but when he saw Chi Nian following him, he stopped and quietly stared at the two figures next to each other through the car window.
"Brother Yanli, are you really not angry?"
Chi Nian followed Ji Yanli, her eyes always falling on him, observing the changes in his expression.
What happened tonight couldn't help but make her more vigilant. She felt that some things were not as simple as they appeared.
"It's okay, go back." Ji Yanli's voice was gentler. While speaking, he raised his eyelids and looked at a white car parked not far away.
Chi Nian followed his line of sight, and when she saw the white car, her expression froze slightly.
That was Chi Wan's car.
She won't admit her mistake.
Chi Nian's eyes flashed, and he pretended not to know and asked deliberately: "Brother Yanli, let me ask the driver to take you back."
"No, there are people waiting there. You can go back." After saying this, Ji Yanli prepared to leave.
"Brother Yanli!"
Chi Wan suddenly reached out and grabbed Ji Yanli's arm. When Ji Yanli looked back at her, she sniffed and said with a choked voice: "Brother Yanli, can I hug you?"
Ji Yanli stood there with his thin lips slightly parted. Just as he was about to say something, Chi Nian continued to whisper: "Brother Yanli, in the years since I was lost, what I have been thinking about every day is that we used to play together. In those days, when my adoptive parents beat me and scolded me, I..."
"Nian Nian." Ji Yanli interrupted her, took the initiative to hold her in his arms, and comforted her: "The past is in the past, and no one will be able to bully you in the future. Don't worry."
Chi Nian took advantage of the situation and hugged his thin waist tightly, nodded, and whispered: "It's good to have Brother Yanli here."
At that time, a gust of evening wind blew by, and the dim street lights stretched the shadows of the two of them embracing each other very long.
Chi Wan sat in the car and looked at the scene quietly. She couldn't help but think of the way she and Ji Yanli got along in the past.
Although the quarterly banquet was also cold at that time, she was very patient.
When she first entered the workplace and didn't understand anything, it was Ji Yanli who taught her over and over again how to deal with business matters.
Just as she was thinking about those things in the past, the passenger door was suddenly opened from the outside.
The action of the seasonal banquet was naturally in the passenger seat.
Chi Wan looked towards the door of Chi's house. At this moment, Chi Nian was still standing at the door of Chi's house, not leaving, staring directly in the direction of her car.
You should have recognized it as her car.
Thinking of this, Chi Wan turned her eyes back to Ji Li Yanli, who was sleeping quietly with her eyes closed, and asked softly: "Did you call me here specifically just to show me the deep love between you and her?"
"What, you feel uncomfortable seeing me and her?"
Ji Yanli didn't open his eyes and asked in a low voice.
