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

Jinzhi was a little sad. Overwhelmed by sleepiness, she lay on the table and mumbled softly in a voice only she could hear.

If the truth comes out.

Ye Yu couldn't share the hardships of her pregnancy with her.

She wouldn't copy it even once; she let him copy it all.

But that's impossible.

Go to sleep early; you can dream about anything.

After hanging up the phone, I collapsed onto the bed and closed my eyes.

Ye Yu on the other end of the phone remained motionless, still in the position of answering the call.

Jinzhi... what did you say in your last sentence?

What is his?

According to the context.

Could it be... a child?

What does "Golden Branch" mean?

Earlier, they said the child was Zhou Yinche's, but now they're lying and saying it's his in order to avoid copying the family rules?

That's absurd.

He wasn't sure if it was because of staying up late, but his scalp felt tight, making it hard to work and even harder to sleep.

Ye Yu didn't sleep all night. When he returned to work at the hospital, he inquired about the doctor who would be performing Jinzhi's pregnancy checkup.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried to investigate, it was no use.

The ultrasound report that Jinzhi sent him was not suspicious.

Zhou Yinche couldn't get into the company, so the hospital was practically his territory. He made some connections, and even his father couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Jinzhi sent me a text message around noon.

[Sorry, I was a little out of it last night while copying things. Please don't mind if I said anything incoherent. Pregnant women are prone to emotional instability, so I hope you can understand.]

Ye Yu took a deep breath.

I understand.

After taking a shower and changing into formal attire, I felt refreshed and went to work with my briefcase.

Those with stable emotions are exceptionally so.

On the other side, the Kim family.

After several days of consideration, the Zhou family once again visited with gifts.

After some polite greetings...

"Brother Jin, sister-in-law, I've been working tirelessly these past few days, staying up all night, and I've finally managed to adjust the company's shareholding structure so that Xiao Che can marry Zhizhi as soon as possible and not let her suffer any injustice."

Wen Manchun: "Let's not beat around the bush, President Zhou, just state your decision directly."

Zhou Yichang smiled and said, "I agree to your conditions and will give Zhizhi three percent of Zhou's Pharmaceutical shares."

"The situation is urgent, and we're all old friends, so there's no need to play dirty tricks. I'm making this clear in advance, but we'll still give Zhizhi one percent, and the other two percent to the two children."

"The inheritance is held by Zhizhi before the child reaches adulthood, but in the end, it all belongs to Zhizhi and the child."

Wen Manchun took a couple of sips of water, didn't respond immediately, and exchanged a glance with Jin Minghan.

Zhou Yichang is a notorious old fox and miser; trying to pry shares from him is like taking his life.

They really went all out this time.

Aunt Zhou continued, "The shops in the city center will remain as usual, and we will give Zhizhi the highest-level betrothal gifts."

She took a velvet box out of her well-made bag and opened it.

"This is a family heirloom of our Zhou family, a priceless imperial green glass necklace, which will be added to Zhizhi's dowry."

Wen Manchun had heard of the chain's origins. Years ago, the eldest and second branches of the Zhou family fought tooth and nail for this family heirloom, but in the end, it didn't end up in either of their hands.

It turns out that it was kept by her own daughter.

She nodded in satisfaction.

"We are all old friends, and Zhizhi and Xiaoche have been friends since childhood. Since President Zhou is so sincere, we don't need to stop him."

Ultimately, all they want is an attitude.

If you have the right attitude, everything else is negotiable.

Jin Minghan also said, "I have no other opinion. As long as my daughter is doing well, I'm happy. If she's not doing well, our Jin family can take her home anytime."

Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't let Zhizhi have the chance to go back to her parents' home in a bad way. If she wants to go back, our Zhou family will send her back comfortably."

This statement is highly technical.

Wen Manchun had no further complaints. She invited the Zhou family to stay for dinner and set a date for the formal marriage proposal—the sixth of this month, which is the day after tomorrow, an auspicious day.

Ye Yu, who was far away in another province, knew nothing about this.

He completed the task assigned to him by Wen Manchun with maximum efficiency and booked a high-speed rail ticket to return to Yuncheng at 6:30 am on the 6th.

I called Wen Manchun on the evening of the 5th.

"I've checked the accounts you mentioned with the finance department, and there are no errors. Is there anything else I need to do? If not, I'll head back."

Wen Manchun was busy all day. Tomorrow was the day the Zhou family would come to propose marriage, and they needed to prepare in advance.

We must not let outsiders look down on us.

"No mistakes, that's good. You've learned how to audit the accounts from the finance department, right?"

"I've learned it."

"Okay, then hurry up and buy the earliest ticket for tomorrow so you can make it back in time for the Zhou family to come and propose marriage. Everyone in the family will be there tomorrow. Even if you don't call me tonight, I will call you."

"Proposing marriage?"

Ye Yu's expression suddenly changed.

"The Zhou family has agreed to give Jinzhi shares? You've agreed to this marriage?"

He spoke very quickly, with a questioning tone.

"Jinzhi is so young, and this has only been going on for a short time. You're already rushing to marry her off? You're being irresponsible! You just let her act stupidly and recklessly?"

He bombarded us with questions one after another like a barrage of cannon fire.

Wen Manchun found him inexplicable.

My son has been in a stable mood since he came back.

What's going on tonight?

"Did you and Zhizhi have another fight? Or are you really thinking of her?"

"Xiao Yu, what's wrong with you? You get all worked up and say such hurtful things whenever Zhizhi is mentioned."

"She's pregnant. We've watched the Zhou family's child grow up; he's excellent in character, looks, and family background. Zhizhi likes him, and the Zhou family has agreed to give him shares. How could this marriage be arranged so hastily?"

"Or tell me, how can we handle this perfectly, in a way that shows we're being responsible to her?"

Her voice grew deeper as she spoke, and she was very thoughtful. When she thought of something, her expression changed, but she didn't ask.

Zhizhi is already pregnant with Xiaoche's child.

She softened her voice.

"The matter is already settled, so you have to swallow your grievances. Don't do anything rash in the heat of the moment and make things ugly."

"Come back early tomorrow morning, don't miss the Zhou family's marriage proposal. Go to bed early."

How could Ye Yu possibly sleep?

He lost his phone, punched the wall, and the landscape painting was knocked off.

I didn't even feel the skin breaking in my joints.

Feeling frustrated and unable to vent my anger, I went to the gym to box.

After punching for more than an hour, his physical strength was exhausted, but the resentment in his heart grew stronger.

He wiped the sweat from his brow and finally couldn't resist calling Jinzhi.

The call connected but no one spoke.

"Who is it? Staying up so late at night, so annoying."

Jinzhi had just fallen asleep when she was woken up, and she was very unhappy. Her soft voice carried a hint of complaint, but her tone was melodious and charming.

No one answered.

She muttered, "What are you doing?"

Ye Yu couldn't help but wonder if Jinzhi would speak to Zhou Yinche in that tone every night from now on.

If they go to bed.

Will Jinzhi's voice be even softer and more delicate?

She's delicate, will she cry?

Will Zhou Yinche become even more despicable?

But the reality is that they have already slept together, have a child, and Zhou Yinche has also gotten to know her deeply.

Just thinking about it made Ye Yu incredibly jealous, and he wished he could tear Zhou Yinche apart.

He found it hard to bear Jinzhi's affectionate interactions with other men.

Jinzhi could only be nice to him, could only speak to him in that tone, could only smile at him, and could only do whatever she wanted in front of him, being spoiled and willful.

Jinzhi is a beautiful, selfish, and wicked person.

She was the one who provoked him in the first place.

He could enjoy her kindness towards him, and he could also tolerate all her bad behavior towards him.

Can Zhou Yinche do it?

he can not.

Men are creatures that are prone to getting bored with the old and seeking the new.

After Jinzhi gives birth, Zhou Yinche will definitely despise her because of how awful she is.

Then Jinzhi will go back to the Jin family crying and bothering them again.

So why did she marry Zhou Yinche?

It's all for nothing.

Jinzhi thought the person who called her was crazy; they answered the phone but didn't say anything.

"I'm hanging up if you're not going to say anything, I'm going to sleep."

"Jinzhi, are you sure you want to marry Zhou Yinche? A shotgun wedding won't end well."

A deep, emotionless male voice filled my ears.

Jinzhi snapped out of her daze. "Ye Yu?"

"What, it's you? Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? Do you want to die suddenly?"

"Jinzhi, answer my question."

Jinzhi turned over with her eyes closed.

"Get married! Why not get married? Zhou Yinche is a good person; he wouldn't do that."

"Mom said we can get our marriage certificate after the engagement."

Very good.

Ye Yu hummed in agreement.

"I'm going home tomorrow morning."

Before the Zhou family could propose marriage, he persuaded his parents not to agree to the marriage.

He hung up the phone before Jinzhi could reply.

"baffling."

After muttering to herself, Jinzhi drifted off to sleep again.

The next morning, Jinzhi got up early to put on makeup at Wen Manchun's urging.

The custom-made cherry blossom pink shimmering brocade cheongsam is exquisite and elegant. Her curly hair is styled into a bun and secured with a gold hairpin, with a few natural curls left around her cheeks.

She was wearing nude high heels that were two centimeters high.

Jinzhi was used to wearing high heels, so two-centimeter heels didn't bother her much.

She was radiant, elegant, and charming.

I sat quietly in the living room waiting for the Zhou family to arrive.

Whether it was from the phone call last night or from not sleeping well, her right eyelid kept twitching and wouldn't stop.

At 8:53, Zhou Yinche called.

"Get up, we're on our way. The old man had someone choose an auspicious time, and he said there would be a calamity at nine o'clock, so we have to wait until 9:06 to enter your house. It's a good time, so he told us to drive slowly."

Where are you now?

Zhou Yinche, wearing Bluetooth headphones, held the steering wheel with one hand and looked at his cool hairstyle in the mirror.

"We've arrived at Yuncui Mountain, and it's still three kilometers from your house. Today, I specially drove this nice car from the garage, but I'm driving it at a snail's pace. It's really a shame for my little black car."

The modified Cullinan he was driving today, and not only him, but every car in the convoy ahead of him was a luxury car worth millions, making quite a spectacle.

It contained all sorts of rare and precious jewels, which were the betrothal gifts for Jinzhi.

"Just bear with it for now, we'll go go racing another day."

Jin Minghan, who happened to be walking by, overheard this and his face darkened.

"Jinzhi, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you married into the Zhou family. No matter where you are, you're never allowed to speed in this lifetime, or you'll regret it."

Jinzhi said coquettishly, "I know, it's just talk. Zhou Yinche is playing around, and I'll just watch from the sidelines."

"Neither of you are allowed to race or engage in high-speed driving, and you should also limit your participation in extreme sports, do you hear me, Yin Che?"

Zhou Yinche said respectfully, "Dad, I know. I won't really take Zhizhi to play. We'll go watch other people race cars."

Jin Minghan: "Hey, don't call me 'Dad' like that. It's not time to call me 'Dad' yet."

Zhou Yinche grinned and chuckled as he steered the wheel with one hand.

"I'll have to call you that sooner or later. I'll have to compete to take care of you and Mom in your old age. Thank you for marrying me off to such a well-raised daughter."

This gives me the leverage to fight for the old man's property.

She made Jin Minghan feel comfortable and relaxed.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense and focus on driving. We'll be waiting for you at home."

He turned around and went to ask Wen Manchun about the procedure.

Jinzhi rubbed her chest and told him, "Ye Yu hasn't gotten home yet. I don't know if he'll be back today. No matter what, it won't hurt to be polite to him."

For some reason, she felt a little flustered when Ye Yu was mentioned.

Zhou Yinche sneered: "I'm raising his child for free, so he should be the one being polite to me."

"Oh, it'll be fine once the process is over. Just bear with it for now."

"knew……"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a black Bentley driving up from the side road behind him through the rearview mirror.

Ye Yu sat in the driver's seat.

I was about to say hello, but when I saw his handsome yet tired face, I was momentarily stunned.

At that moment, Ye Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.

The black Bentley, whose brakes suddenly failed, went out of control and crashed into his car.

"boom--"

The loud crash made Jinzhi reflexively grab her phone.

Sensing something was wrong, she held up her phone. "Zhou Yinche, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Speak up!"

No matter how she called out, there was no response.

Zhou Yinche's Bluetooth earphones were knocked out of the car due to inertia and lay quietly on the ground.

Jinzhi rushed out and ran into Wen Manchun, who had just answered a phone call.

Ye Yu's weak voice came through:

"Mom, I crashed into the Zhou family's car..."
