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

daughter?

Jinzhi thought she had misheard. She looked at the man, dressed in black, with handsome features despite his age, and his face resembled Ji Jinliang's.

She nudged Ye Yu. "What did he say?"

"It's a daughter, that's right. I've looked into this person. He's Mr. Ji's younger brother, Ji Jinxiao, and he holds an important position in the military."

Aze stepped forward to stop him, "Young sir, you are not welcome here. Let's talk another day."

Ji Jinxiao pushed him away.

"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for my daughter Jinzhi. Go away, where's Jinzhi...?"

Ji Jinliang, who was sitting in a wheelchair, actually stood up and threw a punch at Ji Jinxiao.

"Don't go too far! Get out of my house!"

Ji Jinxiao blocked his way, saying, "I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see my daughter..."

With a loud "thud," Ji Jinliang punched him in the left cheek. "Shut up! Say another word to me?!"

"Guards, throw him out of here!"

Although Ji Jinxiao was older, he had been trained in the army since childhood, and the security guards were no match for him. They quickly took the guards down.

Despite his unsteady stance, Ji Jinliang stepped forward to fight, angrily shouting, "Ji Jinxiao, I don't want to fight you in front of the children! Haven't things gotten bigger enough?!"

While defending himself, Ji Jinxiao said, "I don't bully cripples, brother, stop. How can you be sure Jinzhi is your daughter? Don't forget that when A-Ling was kidnapped, I stayed with her..."

A slap landed on his face, and Ji Jinliang roared angrily, his face ashen: "Shut up! You dare mention it again?!"

"If you don't want me to expose all the unscrupulous things you've done over the years."

Even after all these years, his older brother still has leverage over him.

Ji Jinxiao's face darkened, and he looked at Jinzhi with an inscrutable expression.

"It really does look like him. No wonder my brother was in such a hurry to bring him back. If it were me, I would have done the same."

"roll!"

Ji Jinxiao glanced at Jinzhi a few times before leaving.

After the person left, Aze helped Ji Jinliang back into his wheelchair, his voice devoid of emotion: "I have something to do, I'll be leaving now."

Aze pushed the person away.

Jinzhi tried to step forward but was blocked by others, and no matter how she called out to Ji Jinliang, he wouldn't turn around.

"What kind of nonsense is this?"

Jinzhi said with distress.

Ye Yu pulled her to sit down on a chair. "Don't worry, you'll find out the truth sooner or later. I'll be there for you."

Jinzhi murmured, "Grandma said my mother seduces men. Based on what just happened, is my mother related to that Ji Jinxiao? The two brothers, no wonder. And there was the kidnapping case back then. My mother left the Ji family after the kidnapping."

"Ji Jinxiao must also know about what happened back then."

Jinzhi had a rough idea in her mind, but she didn't say it. "My mother's life was ruined by the Ji family."

Ye Yu pulled her into his arms.

"Mr. Ji has severed ties with the old lady, which can be considered a truce. She has passed away, and as her children, there's not much we can do, so let's not make things too difficult for ourselves."

Jinzhi hugged him tightly. "I know. When he comes back, I'll ask him. I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to go back to Yuncheng as soon as possible."

"Okay, let's go back immediately after this is over."

The two spent the whole day at the Ji family's house. Jinzhi went to her mother's studio and then spent a long time in the garden.

As evening fell, Ji Jinliang finally returned home.

Jinzhi entered his study.

"Let's talk."

Ji Jinliang looked down at his computer.

"I still have official business to attend to. You guys eat first. Ye Yu can stay here indefinitely."

Jinzhi had been lost in thought all day and couldn't stand it any longer, so she slammed her laptop shut.

"You can keep hiding from what happened back then, but I am her daughter, I can't hide from her. All I want today is the truth."

Ji Jinliang closed his eyes and remained silent.

Jinzhi sat down in front of him. "Ji Jinxiao said I'm his daughter. The old lady keeps saying my mother seduces people. Does she suspect my mother had an affair with your brother during the kidnapping case? Or does she just believe my mother and your brother have been having an affair all along, so she wants to get rid of her?"

"Is my guess correct?"

Pain flashed in Ji Jinliang's eyes. He closed them, not wanting to recall anything.

"No, A-Ling is clean, you are my daughter."

He wouldn't say anything, and Jinzhi, having exhausted her energy to ask further, said calmly, "You're right. No matter what happened back then, my mother has been dead for decades, so there's no point in talking about it anymore."

"I'm not happy in the Ji family. Let me go. I want to go back to Yuncheng. That's the place where I was born, raised, and can make me happy."

"With Daddy Jin, Mommy Jin, Mommy Yang, and Ye Yu around, I will live a very happy life."

Ji Jinliang finally opened his eyes, his eyes were cloudy.

"I don't object to you acknowledging them. The kindness of raising you is greater than the kindness of giving birth to you. The Ji family can provide you with better opportunities. You are my daughter, and I will give you the best of everything. Even if... Dad begs you, stay. Dad will give you your freedom."

Jinzhi resolutely replied, "I will be unhappy if I stay here. If you want me to hate you like my mother did until I die, then you can do as you please."

Ji Jinliang suddenly laughed.

"She hated me? She hated me until her death?"

"Yes, that's what Yang's mother told me. She's my mother's sister and the one who took care of my mother until she died. She said that before my mother died, she called your name and said that she would never see you again, but she was holding the jade that you gave her in her hand."

She took out the jade.

"I'll give you the jade, and you can let me go. If possible, bury your mother so she can rest in peace."

Ji Jinliang gazed at the setting sun outside the window, its crimson hue filling his eyes. He held the jade in his hand, feeling the warmth his wife had left on it through the years.

"Would you... be willing to call me father?"

"I don't want to."

She glanced at the urn beside the desk, which he had wiped clean, and her heart softened.

"But you can come visit me later."

The sun disappeared completely, the last rays of light vanished into the clouds, the warmth of the world quickly faded, and night slowly began to fall.

Inside the Hongqi 9999 car, Jinzhi rested her head on Ye Yu's shoulder. "We're out."

Ye Yu held her hand.

"What did you say to him?"

"It's nothing. Just treat these past few days as a dream. Let's go back to Yuncheng and start a new life."

She held his hand and placed it on her lower abdomen.

"With the baby."

"If we have any misunderstandings in the future, let's clear them up. Don't drag it out. I don't want to become like my mother and him, which is very painful and sad."

"Okay, we won't hold grudges overnight anymore."

As the car drove away from Lingshan, Jin Minghan and Wen Manchun waited at the foot of the mountain.

Jinzhi got out of the car, and Wen Manchun embraced her.

"Our baby has suffered because Mommy and Daddy didn't protect you well."

Jin Minghan is holding the mother and daughter.

"Jinbao, you've suffered. If you don't come down, your mother and I are going to take some people and storm in, and expose all the dirty secrets of the Ji family to the media."

"I'll go home and have a good rest, and I'll never come to Beijing again."

"Mom and Dad, I'm fine."

She spun around.

"Look at me, I'm perfectly fine. I eat a lot every day and I've even gained weight."

Wen Manchun: "The baby in your belly is growing, so it's normal for your belly to be big. But your limbs are still so slender, you're still thin, you need to eat more."

Ye Yu put his arm around Jin Zhi's. "It's getting dark and the temperature has dropped. Let's go back first."

"it is good."

The group returned to the Jin family's villa in Beijing.

Jin Minghan said, "We're going back to Yuncheng tomorrow; we won't stay here anymore."

"Dad, I'm not leaving tomorrow; I have something to take care of."

"What is it?"

"Go find someone."
