Hiding her pregnant belly! The wicked ex-wife of the true young master has awakened.

Ji Jinliang had lived most of his life and had seen all sorts of tricks, but he had never seen this one before.

Apart from his face, he bears no resemblance to Ah Ling whatsoever.

In the past, when Ah Ling was angry with him, she would simply go on a hunger strike.

She's different.

He said coldly, "Ji Chengyue, get up! Stop throwing a tantrum! Is this how the Jin family raises you? You have no manners whatsoever!"

Jinzhi cried even louder, "Is it considered throwing a tantrum if I want some fruit? What terrible crime have I committed? If you won't get it for me, send me back. This place is inferior to the Jin family in every way. They don't have the authority to play these games of confinement. I want to go back to the Jin family, let me go..."

"Shut up." Ji Jinliang had a headache from the noise, and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Bring me the fruit."

The butler, suppressing his shock, brought over the fruit and toothpicks; the master's tolerance for the young lady was truly remarkable.

Jinzhi was also shocked and immediately stopped crying.

She just wanted to cause trouble and let him know she wasn't someone to be trifled with.

You're going to agree to such an unreasonable request?

In the living room, Ji Jinliang picked through the fruit seeds and said coldly, "Don't even think about sleeping tonight if you don't finish this."

Jinzhi, feeling utterly bored, turned on a melodramatic soap opera about a wealthy family at 8:30 pm on a certain TV channel.

"It's just a little bit, I'll eat as much as you make."

"Oh, by the way, wash it after you've picked at it before I eat it."

Ji Jinliang held back and didn't say anything.

Jinzhi watched TV for a while and got a little bored.

"Old Deng, let's make a deal. Let's put aside the fact that you had someone kidnap me in public. You're a decent person, and you should be reasonable."

"Let me use your phone. I'll call the Jin family and tell them I'm fine, so they don't need to worry too much."

Ji Jinliang lowered his eyes and picked at the kiwi seeds, ignoring her.

Jinzhi moved closer and sat down next to him. From her angle, she could see his angular profile, which indeed resembled Ji Zhenfeng's.

"How about this, could you have someone send a message to the Jin family saying I'm here with you?"

"no."

"How can you be so unreasonable? No wonder my mom ran away. Who would like you if you acted like this?"

When Yang Jialing was mentioned, Ji Jinliang finally responded, "Your mother liked me, she loved me, otherwise she wouldn't have given birth to you."

Jinzhi: "..."

I really don't know where that confidence comes from.

She continued, "Okay, then tell me what happened between you two back then, and why my mom took me with her when she ran away? If you don't tell me, I'll assume you're a scumbag, even though you really are. I don't acknowledge a scumbag as my father."

Ji Jinliang looked at her for a long time, then pushed the kiwi with the seeds picked out towards her, saying, "The matter is settled now, the most important thing is to live in the present."

He washed his hands and wheeled himself away.

"I heard you didn't get married willingly. You should behave yourself and take good care of your pregnancy."

How does he know everything?

Jinzhi hates having her privacy invaded, and she hates his arrogant attitude even more.

Since they are unwilling to talk about it, it means they have a guilty conscience. What happened back then is probably similar to what Yang Jiamei said.

She grabbed a cushion from the side and threw it at him.

"I won't behave myself, and I won't stay here. Let me go!"

The cushion slammed onto the wheelchair, and Ji Jinliang said gently, "It's getting late. Go upstairs and rest after you're done making a scene."

It felt like punching cotton; Jinzhi drank half a cup of water before her emotions calmed down.

Undeterred, she borrowed every phone from the maids.

It was obvious that no one would lend her the money.

Talk to the housekeeper and Aze.

The two seemed to have been instructed beforehand, and they didn't answer anything except for some ambiguous questions.

After spending half an hour in the living room, Jinzhi went to the kitchen.

"Do you have any hot milk? I'll take it to Mr. Ji."

The butler appeared from behind.

"Miss, the master never drinks hot milk."

"What about the juice? I was a bit harsh with him earlier, so I'm bringing him something and asking him a few questions."

The butler gave her a probing look.

"The gentleman is in a meeting in his study and it is inconvenient for him to see anyone."

"videoconference?"

"Um."

When Jinzhi is being willful, she can drive people crazy, but when she softens up, she's the best at sweet-talking and coaxing.

"Uncle Butler, I really know I was wrong. I'm on the Ji family's turf, and it's not good to keep going against him."

"He is, after all, my biological father. The feud between him and my mother is in the past. He's right, living in the present is the most important thing. Is his health not very good?"

The butler sighed, "Yes, the master's health has been poor all these years. Since learning of the master's passing, his health has deteriorated even further. He fell down the stairs and injured his leg. In just a few days, his temples turned completely white."

Jinzhi looked guilty. "Well... I really went too far. Have someone prepare some of his favorite juice, and I'll bring it up to him."

The housekeeper was very pleased and said a few more words.

"Miss, you and Madam look alike. As long as you don't do anything too outrageous, your husband can protect you for life."

"It is indeed unreasonable for the master to confine you, but he is also very heartbroken. Please be understanding. After a while, the master will come to his senses and let you go."

Jinzhi, understanding, said, "I know, thank you, Uncle Butler."

The maid prepared juice, and Jinzhi took it up to the second floor where Ji Jinliang lived and knocked on the study door.

It was Aze who opened the door.

The Chinese-style study is simple yet elegant, with a black walnut wood desk standing by the window, a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf filled with books, and scattered odd stones and porcelain vases. The room is quiet, filled with a faint woody fragrance.

Ji Jinliang sat at his desk, staring at the laptop in front of him.

Aze lowered his voice: "The master is in a video conference."

Jinzhi whispered, "I'll bring him some juice. Can I wait here until he finishes his meeting?"

She clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture, "I promise I won't say anything, won't bother him, and will only say a few words to him after it's over."

Aze glanced at Ji Jinliang twice, but before he could reply, Jinzhi shoved him, rushed towards Ji Jinliang with the juice, grabbed his laptop, and quickly said:

"Hello everyone, my name is Jinzhi, and I am the daughter of the Jin family in Yuncheng. I have been kidnapped and held captive at Ji Jinliang's residence. I would be grateful if you could send a message to the Jin family in Yuncheng, who run hotels and shopping malls, to rescue me. Thank you!"

After saying that, he quickly closed the laptop.

Aze stepped forward, took back the computer, and placed it in front of Ji Jinliang. "I'm sorry, sir."

Ji Jinliang pinched the bridge of his nose, ignoring Jinzhi.

"Tell them that anyone who dares to utter a single careless word will be fired."

He waved his hand.

Aze went out, leaving only him and Jinzhi in the study.

Ji Jinliang's calm demeanor was replaced by solemnity as he tapped the table with his middle finger. "Ji Chengyue, if you don't want to be locked up in your room forever, then keep acting up."

Jinzhi retorted, "It's clearly your fault! I don't want to stay here at all. I want to go back to the Jin family home; that's my real home!"

"You can refuse to release me, but I want the Jin family to know my current situation. Is that such an unreasonable request?"

Ji Jinliang looked at her for a while, then said, "I am your biological father, and this is your home."

He called the servants.

"Take her back to her room to rest."

After the person passed away, he had no mind to deal with his work. He took out two pills from his drawer and looked at the urn containing the ashes.

"Ah Ling, why are you all leaving me? Even our daughter, I could have given her better opportunities."

"None of you can leave me."

Jinzhi was locked in the bedroom this time. After washing up, she lay on the bed and just lay there doing nothing.

That's all for today.

After struggling all day, she was at her wit's end.

Without electronic devices, this night is destined to be boring.

She touched her lower abdomen and muttered to herself.

"I wonder if your dad has looked for me. I wonder if he'll cry secretly if he can't find me. Luckily, you were both good today. You didn't cry even though Dad didn't read you stories. If only I could communicate with you telepathically..."

After talking for a while, she tried to think positively, remembering that the plot said she had a miscarriage when she was more than six months pregnant.

If she remains under house arrest at the Ji family home and gets through this month peacefully, wouldn't that be a good thing?

Thinking this way, Jinzhi felt much better and closed her eyes to sleep, pretending the pillow was Little Blue Abebe.

On the other hand, Wen Manchun urgently applied for a flight to Beijing in the afternoon, but the application has not been approved yet due to new policies restricting flights to Beijing.

Jin Minghan slammed his hand on the table.

"The police station hasn't given us any news yet. It's definitely the Ji family; they must be deliberately trying to trip us up!"

Ye Yu opened his phone and bought the nearest plane and high-speed rail tickets to Beijing.

"The more they act like this, the more guilty they seem. We'll buy tickets and get to Beijing tomorrow."

Yang Jiamei's eyes were red all day, and her face looked haggard.

"It must be that bitch Ji Jinliang. His whole family are no good. Zhizhi is so delicate, and she's quite far along in her pregnancy. I wonder if she's eating, drinking, and sleeping well. If Ji Jinliang takes out his resentment towards her mother on Zhizhi..."

She cried even louder.

Wen Manchun comforted her, "After all, he's Zhizhi's biological father, he shouldn't mistreat her..."

Then, uncertainly, she said, "Zhizhi is impatient, and the child is so old. We must hope nothing bad happens to him."

Jin Minghan also said, "If the Ji family dares to mistreat Zhizhi, I will fight to the death to get justice for her! Kidnapping someone in broad daylight, they're shameless!"
