I'm dressed up as a fake young master, and the real young master is frantically begging me to s

Time flew by and it was afternoon. Inside the dining room of the Ji family villa.

"Brother, please sit down."

Ji Jiahao wiped away non-existent dust from the chair with a towel and quickly gestured for him to sit down.

"Thank you~" Zhou Shijin said, and sat down.

After a morning of interaction, he suddenly realized...

Although Ji Jiahao is uneducated and sometimes a bit of a scoundrel, he is not a bad person at heart.

"Brother, knowing you and the old man are going to drink, I specially brought out my treasured wine."

As he spoke, Ji Jiahao hurriedly filled the wine glass in front of Zhou Shijin before coming to Ji Wuchang's side and respectfully pouring the wine for him.

Finally, he returned to his seat and filled his glass.

Zhou Shijin: "..."

Why does this kid's behavior seem so familiar?

He's so good at handling things; he'd make a good candidate to be a henchman.

Just then, Ji Jiahao picked up his wine glass and stood up:

"Brother, I know you Northeasterners are generous and straightforward."

I won't waste any more words; it's all in the wine.

"I'll drink it, you and the old man can do whatever you want!"

After saying that, he downed the 50-proof liquor in one gulp.

"Heh, hah~~~~"

Perhaps he had drunk too much, he let out a long breath to relieve the spicy sensation.

However, this kid was quite talented. Instead of showing any signs of pain, he generously turned his wine glass upside down.

He gestured that he had finished every last drop of wine before sitting back down in his seat.

Zhou Shijin, being the self-proclaimed God of Wine of the Northeast, naturally wouldn't be intimidated.

Without saying a word, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

"Hahaha, good, good, I'll drink with you two little brats today."

Ji Wuchang laughed loudly and drank the wine in front of him in one gulp.

Then, he looked at his rebellious son, who always angered him, with a puzzled expression.

"You little rascal, why are you being so well-behaved today?"

"Ugh...you keep saying that!"

Perhaps due to the effects of the alcohol, Ji Jiahao impatiently waved his hand at the old man.

"That day, it was because you didn't explain yourself clearly and just kept saying those useless things."

"If I had known earlier that my elder brother's family had saved your life, I would never have disrespected him, even if a knife were held to my throat."

Ji Wuchang didn't take it to heart, instead laughing and scolding, "You brat, that's the only thing you've inherited from me."

"Tch~~~" Ji Jiahao curled his lip and started talking nonsense.

"You should be glad you at least have some traits from me, otherwise you'd have to do a paternity test to see if I'm really your child!"

Upon hearing that his unfilial son dared to joke about his deceased wife, Ji Wuchang's face instantly darkened.

He was just about to say something when he noticed that Ji Jiahao had fallen to the ground with a "bang".

The air fell silent.

Zhou Shijin stood up, preparing to help Ji Jiahao up, but Ji Wuchang's voice entered his ears.

"Shi Jin, ignore that rebellious son and let him lie on the ground and reflect on his actions."

Seeing this, Zhou Shijin had no choice but to return to his seat.

"I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I specially asked the kitchen to make some Northeastern dishes for you to try."

"Thank you, godfather."

The two then chatted about everyday things while drinking some wine, creating a very warm atmosphere.

However, Zhou Shijin could clearly sense that his godfather's mood had been somewhat low ever since Ji Jiahao said the wrong thing.

"Hey kid, what are you doing staring at the doorway?"

That rebellious daughter avoids me like the plague and rarely comes back.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shijin glanced at Ji Wuchang in surprise.

It seems that the relationship between the father and daughter is worse than they imagined.

Although I've decided to give up, I still want to do something before I leave.

After a long silence, he hesitated and said, "Godfather, there's something I've been wanting to say for a while, but I don't know if I should ask it?"

Ji Wuchang put down his wine glass and turned his gaze to Zhou Shijin.

"Don't hide anything from me, just speak your mind."

"There are rumors that you are an old-fashioned person, but after getting to know you, I found that you are quite reasonable."

Although you're a bit strict with Jiahao, I can still tell that you actually spoil him quite a bit.

"Both are my flesh and blood, Godfather, why are you so... "

Zhou Shijin didn't continue speaking because he didn't know what word would be appropriate to describe it.

"Are you trying to say that I was harsh on her?"

Zhou Shijin hurriedly waved his hand: "You said it yourself, I never said that!"

Ji Wuchang shook his head, filled the wine glass in front of him, and took a big gulp.

For some reason, a hint of sadness flashed across his eyes.

"Although your godfather is old-fashioned in personality, he is not old-fashioned in his character."

In my opinion, boys are more likable, but that's not that important.

They are merely a wealthy family; even ancient emperors could not guarantee the eternal stability of their empires.

What's the point of getting so hung up on men and women?

"Huh?" Zhou Shijin was even more confused after hearing his godfather's words.

"Then you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Wuchang sighed deeply.

"Hey~~~ Let me tell you a story."

Zhou Shijin: "..."

I know this all too well. I heard so many stories about it yesterday, and there are more today?

Without thinking twice, he quickly nodded: "Please go ahead."

"There was once a loving couple who had a seven-year-old daughter and a son who was less than a month old."

They lived a very happy life; however, all of this beauty was frozen on their daughter's birthday.

As he said this, Ji Wuchang's right hand trembled slightly.

"The father was so overjoyed to have a son that he simply ordered a luxurious cake."

But the daughter pushed the cake to the ground at her birthday party.

Simply because she likes chocolate flavor.

Feeling humiliated, the father sternly reprimanded his daughter and sent her back to her room.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shijin's heart skipped a beat.

Could that daughter be Sister Tangtang?

Just then, Ji Wuchang's voice rang out again.

"Although the girl's mother didn't say anything, she secretly drove around looking for the chocolate cake on that rainy night, keeping it a secret from everyone."

However, they were involved in a car accident on their way back.

When I arrived at the scene, do you know what I saw?

Ji Wuchang's eyes widened in disbelief, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably.

"I saw my wife covered in blood, lying in the passenger seat."

But what she was protecting beneath her body was that damn chocolate cake.

Who am I? I am the head of the Ji family, a powerful family in Kyoto!

But because of a piece of cake, his wife lost her life.

Ji Wuchang practically roared out the last sentence, and his eyes were now completely bloodshot!
