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

Ji Zhenfeng sighed, "No, I was young then. Later, when I got a little older, I heard some things. Something bad happened back then, but Dad suppressed it. Mom insisted on divorcing Dad, but Dad disagreed, so Mom left."

Over the years, he has never told anyone about these things. "When my mother left, I was too young to understand. When I grew up, I resented her for not taking me with her. Later, when I got a little older, I was actually glad that my mother didn't take me with her, otherwise it would have been very difficult for her to raise a child alone."

Jinzhi re-examined the person in front of her.

He has regular features, a handsome face, and looks a lot like Ji Jinliang. He is her biological brother.

He has lived a life of luxury in the Ji family for many years, but he couldn't choose his own upbringing.

Her attitude softened a bit. "What exactly is this bad thing you're talking about? Mother Yang told me that Mom is saying she's cut ties with the Ji family and that the Ji family doesn't want the child."

Ji Zhenfeng hesitated and said, "I'm not sure either. I might have known a little when I was a child, but I fell and hit my head when I was a teenager, so I can't remember anything from before. My father kept that matter a secret back then, and very few people know about it. The old people who did know about it are all gone now."

Jinzhi asked suspiciously, "You're not lying?"

"You're my own sister, I have no reason to lie to you."

"Does Aze know?"

"Perhaps I know a little."

He had barely finished speaking when his phone rang.

"Now?"

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Ji Zhenfeng stood up.

"Zhizhi, you should get some rest first. I have some urgent official documents to deal with. We'll talk when I get back."

After he left, Jinzhi recalled his words.

Bad things...

What terrible thing could make a gentle woman abandon her child and insist on divorce?

Jinzhi thought for a long time until she heard the butler's voice from outside the door.

"Miss, the old lady has arrived. Please come downstairs for dinner."

"old lady?"

"Your mother is your grandmother."

Jinzhi followed him out the door. "My grandma? What's her temper like? How was she treated towards my mom before?"

You'll see when you see it.

Jinzhi turned back, "I don't eat with strangers; it gives me indigestion."

The butler walked around to the front of her.

"The old lady was a kind and traditional person."

He hesitated for a moment, "As long as you don't argue with her, she's easy to get along with."

Jinzhi, having a better understanding of the situation, astutely asked, "What exactly is her relationship with my biological mother?"

Generally speaking, feudal patriarchs of large families disliked daughters-in-law from poor backgrounds, let alone a family like the Ji family, which produced many extraordinary individuals.

"I came to the Ji family late, and most of what I know about Madam comes from what others have told me. I heard that the old lady and Madam don't see each other very often."

Jinzhi walked ahead, "I heard it from others, but how do you know I look like my mother? Have you heard why my mother left back then?"

"Mother and daughter, they must look alike. Miss, please don't make things difficult for me. I don't know much about those old stories either."

Jinzhi had a gut feeling that the old lady knew something from the past. How could she not know anything about her own son's marriage?

When Jinzhi came downstairs, she saw an old woman wearing a dark green cheongsam sitting at the head of the dining table.

"Is Old Deng not here?"

"My husband went to the company this afternoon because of an urgent matter. He said we don't need to wait for him for dinner."

"Um."

Jinzhi went to the restaurant and said, "Hello."

As she prepared to sit down, the elderly woman with a detached expression said, "Can't you even call me 'Grandma'?"

"Hello, Madam, my name is Jinzhi. May I have my meal?"

The old lady's eyebrows and eyes were slightly furrowed.

The housekeeper quickly pulled out a chair for Jinzhi.

"Madam, the kitchen has prepared a nourishing ginseng chicken soup. The master also has some newly acquired ginseng; he said he'd send some over to you soon. Would you like some served now?"

The old lady washed her hands with a hot towel.

"Let's go."

All the dishes were served, and the old lady started eating first.

Jinzhi ate without looking to the side.

After eating until she was about 60% full, the old lady started the conversation.

"How many months?"

"More than six months."

"I heard the family you married into was your adoptive parents?"

"Um."

"Still haven't graduated from university?"

"Yeah, senior year."

"Pregnant before marriage?"

Jinzhi didn't answer, and lowered her head to drink her soup.

The old woman slammed down the hot towel in her hand. "Did you hear me?"

I don't want to answer.

The old lady frowned. "When elders ask you questions, do you think you can just refuse to answer? You're just as ill-mannered as your mother."

Jinzhi put down her chopsticks and said, "If you were well-mannered, you wouldn't ask such a question on our first meeting."

The old lady frowned slightly, her voice carrying a hint of reprimand, "Is this how you treat your elders? Sharp-tongued and utterly rude!"

Seeing that she couldn't get the information she wanted, Jinzhi got up and prepared to leave.

"I'm finished eating. I won't disturb you any longer. I'll go upstairs now."

I took two steps out, and a sarcastic voice rang out.

"Like mother, like daughter. She's just as petty, rude, and immoral as her mother."

"Getting pregnant out of wedlock, daring to do it but not daring to admit it, it's extremely shameful if word gets out. If it weren't for Jinliang's insistence on acknowledging you, the Ji family would be better off without your bloodline!"

Jinzhi took a deep breath, turned her head and said, "Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about? My mother has been gone for so many years, what did she do to offend you? Don't think that just because you're old I won't dare to scold you."

The old lady slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and pointed at her, saying, "What did you say? In all my years, I've never seen a girl like you! Is it true that your mother is promiscuous and seduces people, or is it that you're pregnant out of wedlock?!"

"I checked your marriage registration date, and it doesn't match the date you got pregnant at all. What else could it be but premarital pregnancy?"

Seeing that things were not going well, the housekeeper quickly stepped forward: "Madam, please calm down, it's all a misunderstanding..."

The old lady glared at her coldly.

"Shut up and get off."

Jinzhi, unable to bear it any longer, stepped forward and said, "I think you're just upset because you failed to seduce someone, so you're making baseless accusations against them. Aren't you afraid of shortening your own lifespan by falsely accusing the deceased?"

With a sudden "slap," a slap landed on Jinzhi's left cheek.

Jinzhi was stunned for a moment after being hit.

But the numbness and pain in her cheek reminded her that she had been beaten.

Neither her parents ever hit her.

Instead, he was beaten by the vicious old woman he met for the first time?

"Miss!"

The housekeeper tried to step forward, but the old lady stopped him: "Anyone who dares to come up here can quit. Get out of here!"

"This is a lesson learned. Like begets like. A rat's son knows how to dig a hole. Your mother was no good person. Even in death, she caused your father to give up his promising future and abandon politics for business. You inherited her wicked genes and are just a vixen who seduces men. It's a good thing your mother died early, otherwise she would have truly disgraced the Ji family..."

With a "smack," Jinzhi slapped back.

She has never been a good-tempered person, and when she gets angry, she doesn't care about the other person's status.

"You dare to lecture me? Who do you think you are? Have you ever fed me? Have you ever given me a single bite to eat? And yet you dare to attack me and my mother?"

"Listen carefully, I have never thought about going back to the Ji family, and I don't care about being the eldest daughter of the Ji family. So you are not my elder, and I have no obligation to respect you."

"You disrespectful old woman, how dare you insult my mother? You're not worthy! Even the King of Hell wouldn't bother taking you when you're dead!"
