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

Jinzhi arrived at the Ye family home at 6:30 in the morning with her suitcase.

Yang Jiamei had just gotten up when she was startled.

"Zhizhi, why are you here so early?"

He pulled her luggage in, drew her to sit on the sofa, and frowned. "Were you mistreated at the Jin family's house?"

Jinzhi drank a glass of water.

"Mom, no, you're overthinking it. I'm just getting a little bored at the Jin family's. It's summer vacation, so I'm coming to stay for a while and taking him out to play. Don't you want me to come and stay?"

Yang Jiamei had always wanted Jinzhi to live with her, but her family's financial situation was not good, so she didn't feel comfortable asking.

I was both happy and worried.

"...But...our family isn't well-off. You wait until Mom rents a bigger place, and we can live together..."

Jinzhi held her hand. Last night's dream made her realize that no matter what she became, only Yang Jiamei was the best to her, a woman with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

I rested my head on her shoulder.

"Mom, no need. I'll stay here. We have new appliances at home, and you said you installed a water heater, so I'll sleep in the same room as you, in the same bed. You won't mind if I'm a restless sleeper, will you?"

Yang Jiamei felt like she was dreaming, and her voice trembled with joy.

"...Mom is getting old...Don't you mind? Mom will clean up Ye Ran and Ye Yu's room for you to live in."

Jinzhi pressed down on her as she stood up.

"You're not old, and you smell nice like laundry detergent. I love it. You're my own mother, why would I dislike you?"

Yang Jiamei felt like she was dreaming. She wiped her eyes and nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, you'll sleep with Mom. Daughters are so thoughtful, unlike that brat Ye Yu, who only sends money home and never says a kind word."

"He's always like that, with a deadpan expression, like someone owes him money. Ignore him, I'm hungry."

"Mom will take you out for breakfast. After breakfast, Mom will tidy up the bedroom and the house, and then I'll cook you something delicious for lunch."

"Okay, I'll help you."

"I don't need you, you just rest. Let Xiao Ran help me..."

Yang Jiamei spent the whole morning tidying up the house, making the bedroom neat and tidy, and also bought Jinzhi a new silk summer quilt and a pink pillow.

Ye Ran felt a pang of jealousy.

"Mom, I've been using this blanket since I was a kid, and you've never changed it for me. One of her pillows could buy this whole blanket of mine. You're being unfair to me."

Yang Jiamei drove him away.

"From now on, you're not allowed to come into my and your sister's room without permission. Knock before you come in. Your sister has been pampered since she was little, and she's a girl. She's beautiful and considerate, so she deserves the best."

Jinzhi came in, munching on an apple, tapped Ye Ran on the head, and made a face at him.

"Mom treats me better than you, what can you do about it?"

She hummed.

Ye Ran rubbed his head, wanting to fight back.

Jinzhi took two steps back, her eyes wide.

"If you dare touch me, I won't take you to the arcade this afternoon, and I definitely won't take you to KFC."

Ye Ran gave in, "I was wrong, okay? I promise I'll listen to you from now on."

"Then call me 'sister'."

Ye Ran felt a little embarrassed. When he learned that Jinzhi was his biological sister, he felt like the sky had fallen.

Where did the Ye family get the genes to produce such a beautiful daughter as Jinzhi?

Gene mutation?

Obviously not.

It took me a long time to process this fact.

Jinzhi would secretly buy him imported snacks, take him to eat KFC he had never eaten before, and buy him high-end stationery.

His classmates all envied him for having such a beautiful older sister.

This seems like a good idea?

Yang Jiamei's fierce voice came out.

"Ye Ran, if you don't call for lunch, you're not eating! Go beg for food!"

Ye Ran called out softly, "Sister."

It sped away in a flash.

Jinzhi ate a hearty lunch, but soon felt dizzy and fell into a deep sleep on the fragrant bed that Yang Jiamei had made.

If Ye Ran hadn't secretly called her out to play, she could have slept until night.

The two went to a nearby arcade, each buying two hundred tokens, and played until Yang Jiamei called them home for dinner.

As the setting sun faded, pale purple and dark blue slowly spread across the horizon.

Jinzhi and Ye Ran walked through the lively alleyway, eating ice cream. A gentle breeze blew by, and they suddenly felt that this kind of life wasn't so bad.

"Hey, you and your brother lived here when you were kids?"

Ye Ran was especially happy today. He not only played the game console he had never dared to play before, but Jinzhi also bought him two bags of snacks, even though his mother might scold him when he got home.

"Yes, but when we were kids, we didn't have the same conditions as we do now. The ice cream you're holding was something my brother and I had to collect bottles for a week to buy."

Jinzhi snorted, "Don't try to manipulate me. The past is the past. You should be secretly happy to have a sister like me who treats you to the best of everything every day!"

Ye Ran muttered under his breath, "You're alright, I guess. My brother's good to me too."

Jinzhi pinched his ear.

"Whatever you want to say is fine, but if you're so capable, stop eating your snacks and give them all to me..."

"No, Jinzhi, how can you be so violent! Whoever marries you will be doomed..."

"...Ouch, that hurts! I'm sorry, you're the gentlest and most beautiful person..."

The two bickered and argued all the way home.

The setting sun disappeared completely below the horizon in the distance, and the world gradually quieted down.

Before going to bed, Jinzhi received a phone call from Wen Manchun.

"Why are you staying at the Ye family's? Your brother explained what happened last night. Those two bastards from the Xie family started it. Your parents don't blame you, so why are you hiding at the Ye family's?"

Wen Manchun and Jin Minghan thought that Jin Zhi was feeling guilty because she hit Xie Zihui on the head last night, which was why she ran away so fast.

Jinzhi chuckled.

"Mom, I do feel a little guilty, but I really want to stay at the Ye family's house for a while. Yang's mother misses me too."

"That works too. I mentioned before that I would move the Ye family to a different house, but Ms. Yang was unwilling, so I didn't bring it up. Do you want to take them to live in a property under your name? The environment is better."

Jinzhi gazed at the night view outside the window.

The street-side shops were still lit up, and a few people walked by on the sidewalk. The mahjong parlors were still open, simple and ordinary.

"Mom, I understand what you mean, but too much kindness might be a burden to others. It's nice living here, and I'll see how things go."

Wen Manchun was very pleased.

"Our Zhizhi has grown up. Mom will transfer you some more money. Don't be stingy, buy whatever you want."

Jinzhi refused outright, "Mom, no need. I still have money. You can keep it for yourselves. I'll ask you for more when I run out. Get some rest, goodnight~"

After hanging up the phone, Wen Manchun pondered for a long time.

Why doesn't my daughter want her money anymore?

It was like a rain of red blood falling from the sky.

Jinzhi's thinking was very simple.

Firstly, she does indeed still have money.

Secondly, she can no longer rely on the Jin family so much. Ye Yu is the Jin family's biological son, and she needs to have a sense of boundaries.

Jinzhi slept soundly on her first night at the Ye family's house, with her mother on her left and Xiaolan, the lop-eared rabbit, on her right.

Xiao Lan was someone she took everywhere she went.

Besides the most expensive jewelry and bags in her walk-in closet, she brought Xiao Lan with her.

The next morning, she was asleep when she heard a noise outside.

"Why did you bring so much stuff again?"

"It's not all supplements; there's also the luggage that Ms. Wen asked me to bring for Jinzhi. She left in a hurry yesterday and didn't take anything with her."

"We have everything at home, so she doesn't need it. I can take good care of her here."

"Have you had breakfast? If not, have some more. I bought a lot."

"it is good."

Ye Yu's voice!

What is he doing here?

Jinzhi sprang out of bed and dawdled as she got up to wash and get ready.

Yang Jiamei called to her, "Zhizhi, come and have breakfast after you've finished washing up."

"oh."

At the cramped dining table, only the seat opposite Ye Yu remained. Jin Zhi forced herself to sit down, avoiding any verbal or eye contact with Ye Yu.

While absentmindedly eating her egg, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of his mouth opening and closing as he also ate his egg.

I couldn't help but think of that night again.

Ye Yu actually kissed her!

I deeply regret not slapping him then, to see if he dares to do it again next time!

She ate the last bite of egg white, tossed the yolk aside, and drank her porridge.

Yang Jiamei said, "Zhizhi, don't you like egg yolks?"

Before Jinzhi could answer, Ye Yu took the egg yolk from her plate and ate it in one bite.

"She doesn't like it, and she doesn't like it at the Jin family either. Why don't you make her some fish, shrimp, and tofu to supplement her nutrition?"

Yang Jiamei was startled by his actions.

My son isn't one to meddle in other people's business, and he certainly wouldn't eat other people's leftovers.

And today...

Ye Ran was equally shocked. "Brother, have you been possessed? You ate Jinzhi's leftover eggs?"

Jinzhi was even more surprised by his antics. She stepped on his foot, crushed it hard, and glared at him with a smile.

—A mentally unstable person.

"He was probably too hungry. I didn't take a bite, so it's not leftover. Ye Yu is really thrifty. I should learn from him in the future."

"Let's eat."

After dinner, Ye Yu showed no sign of leaving and sat on the sofa watching TV.

While clearing away the dishes, Yang Jiamei asked Jinzhi, "Zhizhi, I noticed your stomach was a little bloated when you went to sleep last night. Is it indigestion? Should we see a doctor?"

Jinzhi rubbed her lower abdomen.

That's clearly her child!

The doctor said she had a posterior placenta, and even though she was more than two months pregnant and had twins, it wasn't very noticeable.

They just look like they've eaten their fill.

She couldn't resist Yang's mother's concern and keen observation.

"No need, I'll go for more walks before bed from now on. I'm not feeling unwell, it's probably because I gained weight from eating and sleeping at home all summer."

Yang Jiamei: "I don't think I've gained weight. I touched it last night, and it felt a bit hard. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me in advance."

Jinzhi forced herself to say, "Mom, I know."

Ye Yu, sitting opposite her, looked thoughtfully at her lower abdomen.

Jinzhi was covered up even more tightly.

Unable to bear his intense gaze any longer, Jinzhi stood up and said, "Mom, Ye Yu has something to do, I'll see him out."

Yang Jiamei said from the kitchen, "Okay, come back more often when you have time."

Jinzhi shoved him away, walking briskly ahead, before finally erupting downstairs.

"Ye Yu, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you crazy? Eating my egg yolk? If you want some, can't you peel it yourself? And in front of Mom and Ye Ran, do you need others to see something to make you feel at ease?"

Ye Yu said calmly, "Jinzhi, I like you. They'll find out sooner or later, so it's better to give them a heads-up."

Jinzhi's cheeks flushed slightly because she was angry.

"Just because you like me doesn't mean we have to be together. We won't be together, so why are you trying to put me on the defensive?"

She retorted, "Ye Yu, I just don't understand why you like me? I used to bully you, to put it bluntly, I was a bully."

"I've had people beat you up, humiliated you with money, ruined your part-time job and competitions, and even sent you a mango cake that you're allergic to. How could I have gone so far? Why do you still like me? Just because I later regretted it and treated you well?"

"That's not all, Ye Yu. Do you have masochistic tendencies? You actually like people who bullied you? Or do you have some other illness?"

"You can't like me anyway!"

The incessant chirping of cicadas filled the air, and even the gentle breeze of a summer morning couldn't mask the oppressive heat.

Jinzhi was sweating profusely as she glared at him with great force.

The words were quite harsh, but Ye Yu seemed oblivious, taking a step forward and meeting her moist eyes.

"Jinzhi, I don't feel insulted that you hired someone to beat me up and then gave me money afterwards. At that time, my mother was sick and needed a lot of money, and you gave me the money."

"I didn't want to participate in that competition you ruined. The teacher threatened me with the scholarship to make me go, and I'm just glad I did."

"That mango cake was the first time in my life that someone had ever given me such an expensive and nice birthday cake. It was very beautiful, and I liked it very much."

He didn't eat the mango on top, but he ate the cake.

No allergies.

He grasped her shoulders and said, word by word, "So Jinzhi, although I accused you before, I never actually thought you were bad, nor did I think it was bullying."

He hugged her.

"I just like you. If you really think I have masochism, then you can bully me all you want, as long as you're willing to be with me."
