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

Wen Manchun and Jin Minghan looked over.

Not far away, Ye Yu, dressed neatly, stood frozen by a street lamp, with fallen bouquets at his feet.

He was dressed very formally today, in a white shirt and black trousers, which accentuated his height and long legs.

Her black hair was neatly styled, she had double-lidded phoenix eyes, a straight nose, and fair skin that resembled a finely sculpted work of art, making it impossible to look away.

Upon seeing his face clearly, Wen Manchun turned as white as a sheet of paper; others might not know, but she knew it best.

The boy in front of me looks about 60% like Jin Minghan when he was young.

She opened her mouth, as if to say something.

"...Wife, I can't take it anymore..."

Jin Minghan swayed and fell into her arms.

On the verge of emotional collapse, Wen Manchun could no longer hold back her emotions and called out to him in a choked voice.

"Old Jin! Old Jin!"

Jinzhi rushed forward and shouted, "Aunt Qiu! Uncle Wang! Call the doctor!"

Wen Manchun and Uncle Wang worked together to carry Jin Minghan back into the house, and Jinzhi followed.

Only Ye Yu stood frozen in place, his face filled with helplessness and unfathomable negativity.

He stood there for a few minutes, then left like a zombie.

He arrived at the entrance of Yuncui Mountain by taxi around 8:00 AM. Security was tight, and taxis couldn't get in.

Carrying the gifts and flowers he had bought, he walked to Jinzhi's house—the address of Jinzhi's house that he had asked Zhang Lulu for.

It took a long time and a roundabout way to get there. I told the security guard that I was Jinzhi's classmate and that I was there to attend her birthday party before I was allowed in.

Jinzhi was the star of the evening, and he assumed she would be in the most crowded place, so he followed the crowd to the banquet hall in the backyard, but after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find Jinzhi.

After asking many people, they said Jinzhi had gone to the front yard, and they finally found her there.

I could see her figure in the distance.

She looked beautiful today, wearing a pink strapless dress adorned with tiny diamonds that accentuated her perfect figure.

Her hair was loosely tied into a bun, adorned with delicate pearl hair accessories, and a few wisps of hair gently fell to her temples, making her look bright and noble.

He wanted to tell her to wait for him, to give him a chance, and that they would be together once he had money.

But she won't have to wait too long.

Just as he was about to step forward, he heard words that overturned his understanding, and these words came from Jinzhi.

Like a thunderbolt from the blue.

All the anticipation and surprise I had built up that afternoon vanished like smoke, and my sincere heart shattered into pieces.

The night was dark, the sky was completely obscured by thick, dark clouds, the light was dim and gloomy, and the atmosphere was quiet and oppressive.

Ye Yu dragged his aching body out of the Jin family's gate. Every step he took felt like a hard object was grinding against his flesh, causing him unbearable pain.

After walking straight for several dozen meters, I heard a shout in the distance.

"Ye Yu!"

It was Jinzhi's voice.

He paused for a few seconds, then quickened his pace as if trying to escape.

He walked fast, and Jinzhi, dressed in a formal gown and high heels, could only run after him, lifting the hem of her dress.

Ye Yu took even bigger steps.

Jinzhi called out from behind, "Ye Yu, don't you want to hear my explanation?"

Ye Yu stopped walking, maintaining his posture with his back to her.

Jinzhi quickly stepped forward and stood in front of him.

Up close, you can see the faint, unhidden scars on his face, and a long red mark on the bridge of his nose.

She blinked her sore eyes, trying to make her voice sound lighter.

"Ye Yu, did the doctor discharge you? Did you sneak out?"

Ye Yu took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions, and coldly and sharply retorted, "What's it to you, Jinzhi? What right do you have to ask me these questions? What's our relationship? Who are you to me?"

Jinzhi's lips pressed down uncontrollably, then she pursed them back down, her voice steady:

"Ye Yu, you heard what I just said. I didn't lie to Mom and Dad, I didn't lie to you, and there's no need for me to joke about our background. You are indeed a child of the Jin family, but I am a child of the Ye family."

"You've suffered for me all these years, and I've even bullied you. No amount of apologies can make up for the hurt I've caused you, but I still want to say something to you..."

"Shut up!"

Ye Yu said sternly.

A muffled rumble of thunder sounded from the horizon.

Jinzhi was startled and dared not speak.

Ye Yu took a step closer, bringing the two of them as close as possible. His bloodshot eyes stared at her, his voice slightly choked.

"Jinzhi, I'll only ask you one question: Did you know our identities a long time ago, and was your kindness towards me all this time just out of guilt?"

Stared at by his sharp and deep gaze, Jinzhi felt as if she had thorns in her back and dared not move.

She dared not look him in the eye.

"Look at me, Jinzhi, don't run away, and don't lie."

His deep, cold voice carried a subtle, almost imperceptible, hardness.

Jinzhi still didn't dare to look at him.

He pinched the back of her neck, forcing her to look up. Her clear eyes met his, and her mind raced.

He pondered how to talk to Ye Yu so that he wouldn't get so angry.

If it's not because of guilt, then what is it because of?

Is she a saint?

Showing excessive goodwill?

Why him of all people?

She was notorious at school for being unreasonable and had a bad reputation.

She didn't answer for a long time.

Ye Yu pressed, "Jinzhi, is this question difficult? Yes or no?!"

Even though he was being interrogated, the corners of his eyes uncontrollably reddened.

Jinzhi flinched, closed her eyes, and confessed, "Yes."

"I haven't been able to sleep well since I learned about our past. I approached you on purpose. I only feel better when I treat you well. It was really wrong of me to bully you. I was wrong and I will never do it again."

She whispered, "If you're angry, you can bully me back. You can hit me or scold me, and I won't say a word."

With each word she spoke, Ye Yu's eyes reddened further.

He released his grip, took a step back, his drooping eyelids concealing his moist eyes, and murmured, "Jinzhi, you really are heartless."

Jinzhi didn't hear him and moved closer, but he pushed her away.

"Stay away from me."

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Now that things have come to this point, Jinzhi no longer needs to hide her thoughts.

Discuss it with him.

"Ye Yu, it was wrong of me to bully you before. You can bully me back, but this situation about our identities wasn't caused by me. I'm also a victim, no, I was a forced beneficiary. After all, all I did back then was howl all day. My parents said I was so cute when I was little that they cried."

"You keep taking on part-time jobs, working yourself to the bone just to earn money for Yang Jiamei's medical treatment. You must have feelings for her. I feel the same way. I am indeed greedy for wealth, but I really can't bear to leave our parents. You saw what Dad was like just now."

She softened her voice and tugged at his sleeve.

"How about this: from now on, your mom will be my mom, and my parents will be your parents. I'll acknowledge you as my brother, and we'll still be family."

Ye Yu thought he had misheard, his eyes red and moist as he stared at her, and said incredulously:

"What did you say?"
