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

[The time interval is quite long, we need time to adjust it. Can we send it to you by Wednesday?]

Okay, thank you.

On Tuesday evening, Mr. and Mrs. Jin had a dinner party with old friends and took Ye Yu along to meet people.

As the three were getting ready to leave, Jinzhi, wearing pajamas and yawning, came downstairs, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.

Wen Manchun glanced at her a few more times, then looked at her son in his shirt and trousers.

"Zhizhi, change your clothes and come with us."

Jinzhi let out a soft "Ah."

"If I'm not taking Ye Yu to meet people, why would I go? I can just have the chef cook for me at home."

Wen Manchun belittled her.

"Look at you, always in pajamas and slippers, a far cry from your former elegant self. All you do at home is eat and sleep. If you keep this up, you'll turn into a little pig."

Jinzhi said softly, "No way, I go to the hospital to see Mother Yang every day. I just ate a few more bites of food. I just want to eat and sleep. I don't want to do anything else. The family doesn't need me to eat. If it really doesn't work, you can just treat me like a little pig."

This amused Jin Minghan, who then patted her head.

"Listen to your mother, go change your clothes, and come with us for a walk. We'll help Xiaoyu get to know people at the dinner party."

He whispered, "Let's try to get closer."

Jinzhi glanced at Ye Yu, stood at the door, and looked down at her phone, as if it was none of his business whether she went or not.

Jinzhi shuffled upstairs in her bear-patterned slippers.

Half an hour later, she came down wearing a shirt and a skirt, with her hair in a bun and a sweet, delicate makeup look.

I wanted to wear the fitted fishtail skirt I bought last month, but after trying it on, it made my tummy look a little bigger.

Frustrated, I took it off and secretly vowed to eat less and lose weight in the future.

Jin Minghan drove the group to Xiangming Pavilion, a private restaurant in the city center.

The door to the private room opened, and almost everyone had arrived.

Wen Manchun and Jin Minghan entered and introduced him to everyone: "This is Ye Yu, our son whom we just found. I won't go into the twists and turns in the process. He is studying at Yunnan University. I hope you old friends will take good care of him in the future."

Today, not only old friends came, but also long-time partners. The purpose of this small gathering was to renew some projects that needed to be renewed.

Besides the Zhou family, there are also the well-known Qin and Xie families in Yuncheng, along with the Jin family, their interests intertwined.

Zhou Yichang, Zhou Yinche's father, laughed and said, "I've heard Xiao Che mention that Xiao Yu looks a lot like Lao Jin when he was young. Seeing him today, he really is a carbon copy of Lao Jin."

The elders of the Qin family chimed in, "No matter what, your Jin family has gained another promising and capable assistant. We must have a few more drinks today."

Jin Minghan: "Definitely."

At the dinner party, the elders toasted each other, and Jin Minghan intentionally tested Ye Yu's alcohol tolerance by making him drink as well.

"Drink more tonight, see how much you can drink. Remember this limit from now on, and don't drink any more than that."

Ye Yu: "Mm."

Everyone here is a respectable person, so even if they know something, they won't ask Jinzhi about her background directly. Instead, they politely call her their niece.

Jinzhi was in charge of eating and drinking, occasionally saying a few words to liven up the atmosphere, and then going up to Ye Yu to introduce him to people.

After drinking from two decanters, Ye Yu was feeling the effects and made an excuse to go to the restroom, but actually just wanted to catch his breath.

Ten minutes later, the person still hadn't returned.

Wen Manchun whispered to Jinzhi, "Go and see what's wrong with your brother."

Ye Yu didn't want Jinzhi to call him brother, but he was more comfortable with Wen Manchun calling him that in private, so he just called him that.

"it is good."

Jinzhi went to the public restroom to look for him, but couldn't find him, so she sent him a message.

"Mom told me to come out and find you so you can go back."

The message had barely been sent when I saw someone standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the corridor.

He was wearing a black shirt he'd never worn before, which made his skin look even whiter and gave him a composed and reserved appearance.

With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs encased in suit trousers, she looked both long and pleasing to the eye.

Jinzhi stood still, stunned for a moment.

She used to think Ye Yu was handsome, with a decent appearance, so why is he so charming today?

It must be the clothes.

Yes, the clothes I wear are of higher quality now.

As I got closer, I noticed he was holding a cigarette in his long, slender fingers, so I immediately snatched it from him.

"Alcohol and cigarettes, are you out of your mind? Every extra puff takes a day less to live."

Ye Yu loosened a button that was fastened to the top, revealing his prominent Adam's apple. His voice, slightly hoarse from the alcohol, said, "Jinzhi, you're meddling too much."

Jinzhi hummed.

"You won't let me acknowledge you as my brother, but you're back, and I'm still in the Jin family. Everyone assumes you're my brother, unless you want to be my younger brother. There are some things I can help with."

younger brother?

Ye Yu sneered. Under the influence of alcohol, he seemed to have forgotten certain taboo boundaries and lowered his head slightly to get closer to her.

"Jinzhi, you really want to be family with me?"

The two were only a fist's width apart, and his warm breath sprayed on her face, making Jinzhi extremely uncomfortable.

I stepped back a little and heard him say, "In that case, how about we try another way?"

"What?"

Jinzhi lowered her eyebrows and eyes.

"What, do you want to be my father?"

Ye Yu laughed in anger, his chest burning with rage, staring at her for a long time without saying a word.

Jinzhi didn't dare to speak because of his stare.

The atmosphere froze.

"Sister Jinzhi, what are you doing here?"

A childish voice broke the tense atmosphere.

Jinzhi turned her head and saw Zhou Yinmo, Zhou Yinche's younger sister.

"Let's say a few words. And you? Just arrived?"

Zhou Yinmo: "I just finished practicing dance nearby. My brother told me you guys were here, so I came to mooch a meal."

Her bright eyes turned to Ye Yu.

"He is...

Jinzhi glanced at Ye Yu, and seeing that he didn't intend to answer, she said, "He is Ye Yu, the son my parents just found and brought home. He is also my brother."

You still have to put on an act in front of outsiders.

Even if he's unhappy.

She spoke naturally, unaware that Ye Yu's eyes had turned cold.

Zhou Yinmo had heard rumors and greeted Ye Yu somewhat shyly.

"Hello, Brother Ye Yu. My name is Zhou Yinmo. Let's hang out sometime sometime."

Ye Yu gave a soft "hmm".

"I'm going to eat now."

The person ran away, and Jinzhi wanted to go back, but Ye Yu grabbed her wrist.

He said coldly, "Don't let me hear that word from your mouth again. You're not worthy."

He left before her.

Liu Jinzhi remained standing there, feeling emo, and sent a message to Wen Manchun, saying she wouldn't go back to the private room and would wait outside for them to come home.

The dinner lasted another hour before ending, and Ye Yu, who could barely stand, came out with Jin Minghan.

He's the type who doesn't show it on his face; you can't tell if he's drunk or not.

Wen Manchun and Jin Minghan lagged behind to make phone calls, while Ye Yu went ahead to get some fresh air.

As I turned the corner, I saw Jinzhi standing there with a man.

The man appeared to be Zhou Yinche, supporting Jinzhi's waist and bending slightly, their faces overlapping.

They were so close, it was practically like kissing.

Rage surged within Ye Yu, and his first thought was to rush up and punch Zhou Yinche, but the pain of his nails digging into his palm brought him back to his senses.

He watched them from the shadows in the corner.

They were childhood sweethearts and spent holidays together.

It seems normal for them to be together.

His thin lips were pressed into a straight line, and his jaw was tense.

His shoulders finally gave way.

elder brother?

Much better than strangers.

Ye Yu left with heavy steps.

In front of the railing, Jinzhi slapped Zhou Yinche.

"Hurry up, did it blow out yet? It hurts so much! I'm never wearing these false eyelashes again."

Zhou Yinche was flustered. "Right away, don't rush, it's under the whites of your eyes."

After blowing on it several times, Zhou Yinche finally managed to remove the foreign object from her eye.

"I'll save your eyes."

"Thank you so much, Uncle Zhou. My parents are leaving now. We'll meet up another day to hang out."

On the way back, Jinzhi sat next to Wen Manchun and complained that her false eyelashes were not working well, telling her to avoid them.

Ye Yu leaned back in his chair and pretended to doze off.

The vibration of his phone woke him up.

The Xishui Bay security sent him a message.

He wanted the surveillance video.

Ye Yu read it three times. For a moment, his heart pounded wildly, and with a sigh, he felt a weight lifted from his shoulders.

The viscous gaze climbed up the chattering golden branches under the dim car lights, gradually becoming shadowy.
