Ji Lingchen went to change into his pajamas and got into bed.
Fang Xiaonuan saw that her husband was already in bed. She seemed to have suddenly remembered something and quickly ran to the bedside. She took a book from under her pillow, she stuffed it into her husband’s suitcase. “I almost forgot about it. Without it, my husband wouldn’t be able to sleep well at night!”
Ji Lingchen smiled. He tidied up his pillow and patted his side. “Come over and sleep. I didn’t sleep last night. I can’t stay up late tonight.”
Fang Xiaonuan hopped into bed. After turning off the lights, she rested her head on her husband’s arm, then she said softly, “Hubby, I’m your wife. Don’t yell at me anymore. If you yell at me again, I won’t bear your child!”
Ji Lingchen chuckled. “Did I scare you?”
Fang Xiaonuan nodded, feeling wronged. “Yes.”
Fang Xiaonuan had not slept for more than thirty hours. When she returned to her husband’s arms, she fell asleep in less than a minute.
Ji Lingchen hugged her for more than half an hour before he gently pulled himself out from the blankets. He stuffed the pillow under his wife’s head and tucked her in before he quietly walked out of the bedroom.
…
In Old Master Ji’s room.
“1v5, play your cards! This person is too stupid. He doesn’t even know how to cooperate with his teammates!” Old Master Ji was playing another game that his daughter-in-law had recommended to him. It was called Fight the Landlord. He had played a lot of online games. He had finally won hundreds of thousands of gaming currency, but he had lost all of it in one go!
He planned to win it back. “He’s so stupid. If he played 1v5, he would have won! What horrible teammates! Pui! I’m going to play at another table!”
At this moment, Ji Lingchen knocked on the door. “Dad, come out for a while.”
Old Mater Ji was in a rage. “Your dad is asleep!”
Ji Lingchen was speechless. He said, “Come to my study in five minutes.” After saying that, Ji Lingchen left.
Hearing this, Old Master Ji scolded, “Brat, you still want to treat me like this? In your dreams!”
Then, five minutes later, Old Master Ji went to his son’s study with a reluctant expression. “Eh? You’re here too?”
Mayor Ji was sitting in his brother’s study as well.
After Old Master Ji entered the room, Ji Lingchen closed the study door. He sat opposite the two of them and asked solemnly, “Dad, brother, I ran into Xiaoyu.”
Hearing this, Old Master Ji also understood the importance of this matter. No wonder his son asked the two of them to come to the study.
At the mention of the name that had always been taboo in the Ji family, the atmosphere in the room instantly turned extremely cold.
Old Master Ji remained silent and did not say anything.
Mayor Ji spoke first. “Lingchen, could you have made a mistake? It has already been fifteen years. Even if Xiaoyu was standing in front of you, you might not be able to recognize her.”
Ji Lingchen shook his head. “I definitely wouldn’t be able to recognize her face. However, I wouldn’t forget the scar on her arm that she got from the bite mark.”
Ji Lingchen looked at his father and brother and said solemnly, “I definitely was not mistaken. I even grabbed her hand. Dad, big brother, Xiaoyu has been waiting for us!”
Old Master Ji’s expression became serious. The mischievous look from before had disappeared. At the mention of the girl, his hand trembled. “Lingchen, I think you should let this go.” This was the love a father had for his child.
Ji Lingchen looked at his father in disappointment. “Dad, have you forgotten? Back then, you traded information about Xiaoyu for my agreeing to marry Xiaonuan. You know very well whether the information is true or not.”
After the marriage, Old Master Ji gave him a copy of the information. He had studied it carefully. The information looked very real, but it was all fake. However, at that time, Xiaonuan had already become his little kitten, so he did not care about this matter. Even though he had been deceived by his father, his father had helped him find his little wife. He pretended that this had never happened.
However, this did not mean that he had given up on finding Xiaoyu. That day, he met Xiaoyu at Silver Field. He had already grabbed her arm, but she had still escaped.
“Dad, I’m going to another city for a few days to look for her,” Ji Lingchen suddenly said.
Ji Lingchen continued to sift through the financial records. In the end, he reduced the number of people to 42. These people were all in different cities, so he decided to look for them personally.
Old Master Ji knew that Ji Lingchen had found out that the information he was given was falsified. “Lingchen, haven’t you considered that Xiaoyu might not be here anymore?”
Ji Lingchen had just said that he had seen Ji Xiaoyu. How could he believe that his sister was no longer alive!
Ji Lingchen said, “Dad, she is your daughter!”
It was one thing that his father was not willing to search for her. However, why did have to tell him that Xiaoyu was no longer alive?
