Jinzhi took his hand and walked forward.

"I hope so. If the baby is born safely, then we'll truly be tied together, and I'll just have to make do with you."

She's almost seven months pregnant, so she should have passed the point in the story where she miscarries.

Qin Nanjia was also expelled from the country. As long as she doesn't cause trouble and focuses on her pregnancy, she will definitely be able to change her fate.

Ye Yu squeezed her hand, "The doctor said you're very healthy, and the baby will definitely be born smoothly, that's for sure, so..."

He asked happily, "Jinzhi, are you willing to spend your life with me?"

From the very beginning, their social classes were unequal: Jinzhi was a high-class young lady, while he was a poor boy struggling to make ends meet.

She was so beautiful and dazzling, like a precious treasure, that he was undoubtedly cautious and insecure.

Upon learning about their backgrounds, he felt no joy, only resentment. He resented Jinzhi for using the guise of compensation to provoke him, only to abandon him cruelly afterward, and for shattering his heart just when he was most eager to uncover his secrets.

He reflected on himself repeatedly late at night.

Where exactly did things go wrong?

What can he do to make Jinzhi like him?

Why doesn't Jinzhi like him?

There must be something he didn't do well enough.

But Jinzhi just wanted to get away from him.

Once a person is consumed by resentment, it will erode their inner inferiority, making them resentful, suspicious, and hysterical.

He used every despicable means to get her to marry him and have her.

Ke Ren's greed is a bottomless pit. He loves her and wants not only her as a person, but also her love.

Now that she is a descendant of the Ji family in Beijing, he feels even more unworthy of her.

In his heart, Jinzhi was always unattainable.

So even if her confession isn't very clear, as long as she expresses even a hint of wanting to be with him, he's happy.

"Men generally have shorter lifespans than women. I'll definitely live longer than you, but whether we can stay together for a lifetime is still uncertain."

The autumn sun felt warm on his body, and Ye Yu said happily, "From now on, I will work out hard, take good care of my health, and try to live a long life so I can stay with you for the rest of my life."

Jinzhi patted his strong chest and took the opportunity to grope him a few times.

"Hopefully, I won't get too muscular. I don't like that. I'm fine as I am now."

She liked thin skin.

"I'll listen to you."

The two returned to the villa.

Upon entering, I saw Ji Zhenfeng sitting in the living room, with many supplements for pregnant women placed next to her.

"Why are you here?"

Having learned the truth of what happened back then, Jinzhi no longer harbored any resentment towards Ji Zhenfeng.

Growing up without a mother and in the strict Ji family, where rules were rigid and demands on the heir were demanding, his life was not easy.

Seeing this, Wen Manchun and Jin Minghan said, "You two chat, we'll go upstairs to take care of some work."

Ji Zhenfeng seemed a little flustered. "I came to see you. I was away from Beijing yesterday dealing with urgent business. I'm sorry you had to go through that."

Jinzhi sat down opposite him.

"It's all in the past, and I've already left. I won't have any dealings with the Ji family anymore. Yuncheng is my home."

Ji Zhenfeng was silent for a moment, then said, "I know it's a bit difficult for you to call me 'brother,' but... can we be friends? Can I visit you when I go to Yuncheng in the future?"

"I don't have many relatives left."

The usually calm and composed man suddenly became a little nervous.

Jinzhi poured him a cup of tea herself.

"Of course you can. There's no need to drag the grudges of the previous generation into ours. Although what you did before was indeed unethical, you are more moral than Ji Jinliang. We are siblings from the same mother, and I am willing to call you brother."

Ji Zhenfeng was overjoyed. "Okay, little sister, when are you going back to Yuncheng? If you're not in a hurry, I'll take you to Beijing tomorrow to see the place where I grew up."

"We invited Ye Yu, Uncle Jin, and Aunt Wen to come together. It's a rare opportunity for you to visit, so we should do our part as your hosts."

"Alright, then we won't stand on ceremony."

That's how it's settled.

Jinzhi Liuji Zhenfeng had dinner at the villa.

After the meal, Jinzhi and Yang Jiamei called each other to let each other know they were safe.

"Mom, we're going back the day after tomorrow, so don't come. Get some rest."

Yang Jiamei didn't come this time because she fainted from excessive grief and was hospitalized. She was only discharged in the afternoon.

"How are you? How did Ji Jinliang bully you? What exactly happened?"

Jinzhi glossed over the events of that year, embellishing some details, and said that she stayed at the Ji family's house for a few days before Ji Jinliang let her go.

"Don't worry, just take good care of yourself. You'll still need to help me take care of the kids. The dessert shop will be opening soon, and you'll have a lot to do, so please make sure you take good care of yourself."

Yang Jiamei cursed, "The Ji family is all bad! They took you away without a word, they're shameless and have no manners. They call themselves a great family? They're more like bandits!"

"Don't be angry. I'm fine now. Once I get back, I'll have nothing to do with them anymore. Yuncheng is my home, and you and the Jin family are my family."

She paused for a moment, then said, "But Mom...would you like to meet Ji Zhenfeng? He's your son. He's different from Ji Jinliang; he's a bit like you. He said he'll definitely visit you next time he goes to Yuncheng."

"Was he a tall, handsome boy? I saw him once when I went out to buy groceries near the neighborhood. I glanced at him twice and felt he looked familiar, but then he disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Yang Jiamei is all talk and no action. She had previously said that growing up in the Ji family would definitely spoil her, but now she says, "We'll see when he comes. I'll deal with it then. If I'm not free, I definitely won't see him."

Jinzhi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have him meet with you when you're not busy."

The two talked for quite a while before hanging up.

The next day, the group spent the day sightseeing in Beijing.

The following day, the private plane returned to Yuncheng.

In front of the tarmac.

Ji Zhenfeng brought many local specialties and gifts.

"If you need any help in the future, just let me know. Don't hesitate to ask."

He intends to continue the Ji family tradition by entering politics in the future.

Jinzhi: "Don't worry, I won't hold back. Work hard and strive for promotion."

Ji Zhenfeng: "Okay, go home and take good care of yourself. I'll come see you after you give birth."

"it is good."

Wen Manchun helped Jinzhi board the plane first, while Ye Yu lagged behind two steps and exchanged a few words with Ji Zhenfeng.

After Ye Yu left, Ji Zhenfeng's expression changed, and he lowered his eyes in thought, saying, "He really is no kind of person."

The assistant behind him asked, "What did you say?"

"Keep a close eye on the old lady's situation these next few days. My father has severed ties with her, and I shouldn't have any contact with her either. Let's not let her affairs affect Dad's company and business."

The assistant asked, puzzled, "What is it?"

Ji Zhenfeng walked forward.

You'll find out soon enough.

At the same time, following the publication of the story of a mother and son from a prominent family severing ties, a local Beijing tabloid published another explosive news story.

—Not long after Mr. Ji passed away, his widow and his subordinate housekeeper became pregnant.

There are photographic evidence.

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

The Ji family is the most famous family in Beijing. Mentioning Old Master Ji is no different from naming him by name.

Noble families are most averse to such scandalous gossip.

If it were many years after Mr. Ji's death, it would be one thing, but less than a year after the renowned Mr. Ji passed away, his widow, an elderly woman, couldn't wait to have an affair with the housekeeper.

Not to mention that she was once a young lady from a prominent family and the wife of the head of the household. Now that she is old, she could have been enjoying her retirement. But to have such a scandal with her subordinates and butler is to lower her own status and ruin the century-old reputation of the Ji family.

In no time, this news spread like wildfire, becoming a topic of conversation among the wealthy and powerful.
