The extended Lincoln drove into the Jin family's gate, circled the dolphin fountain, and came to a smooth stop in front of the main building.

The driver got out of the car first and opened the back door.

Wen Manchun and Jin Minghan got out of the car and greeted Ye Yu.

The nanny and servants, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted Ye Yu: "Welcome home, young master."

Ye Yu felt no joy, nor did he experience the unreal feeling of a poor person suddenly becoming rich. He took his small bag from the driver and followed behind his parents.

He didn't take everything from the Ye family; he only took a portion of it.

Wen Manchun introduced him to each of them.

"This is the first floor, mainly your father's and my bedroom and guest room. You will stay on the second floor. If you are not feeling well, please do not take the stairs, but take the elevator."

The group went up to the second floor and headed towards the master bedroom.

"This is your bedroom. It was hastily furnished, and I don't know what you like. If you feel uncomfortable, tell the housekeeper, Uncle Wang, and he will have someone change it."

The master bedroom, which covers more than 100 square meters, consists of a suite, a walk-in closet, a private bathroom, a study, and even a gaming room.

Each room was larger than the entire Ye family house.

Jinzhi grew up here.

No wonder I felt so uncomfortable the first time I went to the Ye family's house.

His parents live on the first floor, and he lives on the second floor.

What about the third floor?

Ye Yu asked directly, "Jinzhi lives on the third floor?"

Jin Minghan was about to answer when Wen Manchun preemptively said, "She used to live on the third floor. There are many empty rooms upstairs. You can stay there if you like."

"I know you may have a prejudice against Jinzhi, but she is innocent too. She kept urging us to bring you back, and even said that if you don't want to see her, she can move out, as long as you are happy."

Ye Yu's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Should we move out?

That would be more freedom.

They have more money than they can spend, and nobody cares.

On what grounds?

He doesn't want to see her?

It's probably because Jinzhi doesn't want to see him.

Ye Yu, contrary to his usual self, said, "I know, otherwise she wouldn't have told the truth. She can live anywhere, I don't mind."

Jin Minghan exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"

Ye Yu: "Mm."

"Dad knew you were a good child, and he knew you had something on your mind, but after you got to know Jinzhi, you'll know she doesn't have any bad intentions. From now on, just stay at home and tell us if you need anything, and we'll make sure you get it."

Wen Manchun was very thoughtful. "Mom knows you were injured recently, so she called the family doctor to see you. You should rest for a bit. I'll let you know when the family doctor arrives."

Wen Manchun and Jin Minghan went out.

Jin Minghan lowered his voice.

"I knew our son wasn't petty. Look how understanding he is."

Wen Manchun felt something was wrong; something was off everywhere, ever since Jinzhi's birthday.

I know my daughter best. She was quite obedient when she was little, but she's been spoiled and willful all these years. How could she possibly do something so self-destructive and still be so easy to talk to about moving out?

Could it be that she did something to betray Ye Yu?

Ye Yu was also acting strangely. Normally, he should have been resentful and blaming Jinzhi for taking his place for so many years, just like a few days ago. Why did he suddenly change his attitude today?

Wen Manchun had a premonition that things wouldn't be peaceful in her family in the future.

Then I thought again, they're both my children, and as long as they're both around, there's nothing that can't be solved.

When the doctor examined Ye Yu, his injuries were far more serious than the couple had imagined.

He had dozens of wounds of varying sizes on his body, as well as internal injuries. Wen Manchun had investigated and knew that these were caused by his boxing.

They are my own flesh and blood, and I feel so sorry for them.

Repeated orders and instructions.

"Xiaoyu, you're on summer vacation now. Don't go anywhere until you're fully recovered. Just stay home and rest. I've hired a caregiver to look after Ms. Yang, so don't worry about her."

Jin Minghan also said, "We will make arrangements for Ye Ran. I have looked at his information. He is a very good student, especially in mathematics. We have enrolled him in an Olympiad math class and a summer camp. You don't need to worry about the Ye family. We will tell Ms. Yang the truth slowly once she is feeling better."

Ye Yu: "Thank you."

In reality, he didn't have any special feelings for Jin Minghan and Wen Manchun. He only knew that they were his biological parents, and it took him several days to accept that.

However, the more this happened, the stronger his hatred for Jinzhi became. He couldn't help but wonder when Jinzhi found out the truth about their backgrounds.

From the first time she bullied him?

It was when I first started being nice to him.

Ye Yu leans towards the former.

He had observed Jinzhi for a long time and knew her personality very well. Her true nature was wicked, and she had only been nicer to him recently. Before that, he couldn't understand her at all and even thought about things in the wrong direction.

The truth is revealed: the Joker is himself.

Jinzhi is still the same selfish Jinzhi.

He closed his eyes. "I'm tired. I want to rest for a while."

"Okay, let Aunt Qiu tell us what's wrong."

Ye Yu took a nap, and when he woke up, he neither called anyone nor went downstairs. Instead, he went up to the third floor via the stairs.

Completely different from the simple and elegant second floor, the interior features crystal chandeliers, lace-trimmed curtains, and furniture in Morandi colors, creating a warm and luxurious atmosphere.

A white piano sits next to the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, adorned with colorful princess stickers.

He raised his hand to touch it, walked down the long corridor, and stopped in front of a carved door.

I pushed it gently, and the door opened.

Looking inside, rows of plush toys were piled up on the orange-white bed.

Ye Yu glanced at the blue and white rabbit doll a few more times.

My head is throbbing with a dull ache.

...I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.

Unable to recall anything, Ye Yu, feeling utterly disgusted with himself, quickly went downstairs and left this detestable place.

Ye Yu spent a few days recuperating at the Jin family's house. Although he rarely went downstairs or out, he became familiar with everything about the Jin family.

On Saturday afternoon, Wen Manchun received a call from Jinzhi.

After a long silence, Jinzhi finally spoke: "...I'm back in the country. How's Ye Yu?"

"Going out to play wildly? You don't even call your mom anymore."

Jinzhi, clutching the zipper of her bag, looked somewhat resigned. "I'm not your biological daughter. I'm afraid Ye Yu will be unhappy."

Wen Manchun is not like Jin Minghan, who speaks his mind directly. She countered with a question:

"Tell me, did we raise you? Jinzhi, we gave you whatever you wanted when you were little, but now that you're grown up, you don't even know how to call us 'Dad' and 'Mom' anymore? Have you lost your conscience? Ye Yu isn't as petty as you think. If you're not going to call us, don't come back."

"Mom!" Jinzhi called out quickly.

Wen Manchun's voice became a little nicer then, "Now that you're back in China, come home. We'll have a family dinner together tonight. You should get along well with Ye Yu."

What was Ye Yu's reaction to me?

"Don't worry, we'll let you come back to live here. Is there anything more comfortable outside than home?" Ye Yu remained calm and easy to talk to.

"Really?" Jinzhi asked in surprise.

Why would I lie to you?

At six o'clock in the evening, Jinzhi arrived at the Jin residence with her suitcase, followed by Zhou Yinche, who had come to freeload a meal.

Ye Yu wasn't in the living room, so Jin Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and distributed the gifts she brought back to her parents and the household staff.

Finally, he pulled out a brand-new game console from his suitcase.

She asked cautiously, "Mom and Dad, is Ye Yu upstairs?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a commotion came from the top of the spiral staircase.

Jinzhi looked over and saw Ye Yu walking over, dressed in gray pajamas.

He has changed a lot in just one week.

It's not the appearance that has changed, but rather the temperament.

Her hair had grown a bit longer, slightly covering her forehead. Her brow bones were high and prominent, and her fair face was expressionless. She looked at people with a detached expression, exuding an aloof aura that made her even more unapproachable.

Jinzhi didn't dare to go forward, but watched him walk over out of the corner of her eye before handing over the gift.

"Here you are, I hope you like it."

Ye Yu didn't answer. "I don't play games."

Jin Minghan smoothed things over, saying, "It's okay, we won't play now, we can play later when we have time. Dinner's ready, let's go eat."

At the dining table, Zhou Yinche sat to Jinzhi's left, Jin Minghan to her right, followed by Wen Manchun and Ye Yu.

Jin Minghan introduced, "This is Zhou Yinche, the son of your Uncle Zhou who works in the pharmaceutical industry. You can just call him brother."

Ye Yu called out, "Brother Yin Che."

"Ye Yu, right? If you ever need anything, just come to me. I'll help if I can, and if I can't, I'll call in some people for you."

"Okay, thank you."

Wen Manyun said, "Xiaoyu, Zhizhi, I won't say much else tonight. I just hope our family can get along well. If you two can get along well, your father and I will be at ease."

Jinzhi: "Mom, I will."

Ye Yu hummed in agreement.

Let's start eating.

Zhou Yinche often came to the Jin family's house for meals, treating himself as if he were an outsider, and taking whatever he could find delicious food.

She praised, "Auntie, I've only been gone a short time, but your chef's skills have improved so much! This steamed fish is especially delicious."

I casually picked up a piece of meat from the fish head for Jinzhi.

Ye Yu glanced over.

Wen Manchun: "Eat more if you like."

Zhou Yinche: "I won't stand on ceremony with you."

When the quail's golden branch was not paying attention, it picked up the piece of meat and put it in its mouth.

After chewing a couple of times, my stomach suddenly churned, and waves of nausea rushed to my throat. I gagged, covered my mouth, and ran to the bathroom.
