Out of the two ‘Ji Buwangs’, one had longer hair, while the other had shorter hair. However, they really resembled each other.

  The photo only showed the upper half of their body. The reason it might have been well preserved was that the photo was very clear.

  Shao Qiyun looked at the two of them and couldn’t tell who was who. “This…”

  “This is a photo of the two of them together. Do you believe what we’re saying now?”

  Shao Qiyun frowned deeply. “That’s impossible. Are they twins? How can they look so similar?”

  “Why can’t they? They’re brothers from the same father and mother and they’re only two years apart. It’s normal for them to look like twins.”

  Shao Qiyun was indignant. “In that case, maybe you guys lied to me? Or should I say that this makes it easier for you to lie to me? It was clearly Ji Buwang, but in the end, you deliberately said that it wasn’t him to send me away so that I’d give up.”

  Shao Qiyun’s eyes lit up. “That’s right. You did it on purpose!”

  “They do look alike, but they’re not so much alike that I can’t recognize them.” Old Master Ji couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on her. “That’s what happened. You ought to give up now that you’ve seen the photo.”

  “No!” Shao Qiyun was stubborn. “Don’t try to fool me. The child belongs to Ji Buwang. I’m definitely not mistaken.” They shouldn’t even think about using a dead person to send her away.

  “Are you sure you can distinguish them?” Old Master Ji pondered it for a moment and suddenly patted Ji Buwang, making him turn around. He pointed at the photo and said, “Then tell me which one of the two is Buwang. I can’t fake it on the spot. I’ll see if you can really recognize him. Their names are on the back of the photo. Let’s see if you can get it right.”

  “If I’m right, you’ll let me marry Ji Buwang?”

  “No, no, if you’re right, I’ll think of a way to perform a test. There’s technology now that can detect a father-son relation, but it’ll take some time. It’s a little troublesome. I didn’t do it because I believed Buwang. But since you’re so insistent and you’re sure you’re not just spouting nonsense, I can get a test done.”

  Even if she was right, he would just get a test done, which was far below her expectations. She couldn’t let them get away with it so easily. Shao Qiyun thought for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll identify him.”

  Old Master Ji didn’t want Shao Qiyun to take advantage of him. He took a pen and paper and wrote down on the left and right lower side photo with a pen lest Shao Qiyun deliberately confused the left and right side when she answered. “The right and left side have been confirmed. If you’re certain, you can write your answer on the paper directly. Remember, think carefully before writing it down. You only have one chance.”

  \r \r \r

  There could be no regrets after she placed her bet. She couldn’t change her answer verbally.

  Shao Qiyun hadn’t expected this to happen and was very unhappy. However, there was no way out, so she could only agree.

  She looked at the photo carefully and then at Ji Buwang, but Ji Buwang had already turned around.

  After hesitating for a moment, she couldn’t tell the difference no matter how hard she looked at it. In the end, she chose the person on the left, who had longer hair and looked more like Ji Buwang. Finally, she wrote ‘Left’ on the paper.

  After Shao Qiyun finished writing, she handed the paper to Old Master Ji. She wanted to see Old Master Ji’s expression, but she couldn’t tell anything by looking at his poker face. He only flipped the photo over to verify the answer.

  At that moment, Ji Buwang suddenly said, “Xiao Wu, Jingzhe, take a guess too. We used to play this game often. Write down your answer too. I want to see if my older brother and I are really that difficult to tell apart.”

  “If you all guess right, then it will prove that it’s actually not that difficult to distinguish us. Shao Qiyun also won’t be able to use the excuse that anyone would identify us incorrectly.”

  Shao Qiyun had really thought of this in her mind. She hadn’t expected Ji Buwang to expose her, so she glared at Ji Buwang’s back.

  Old Master Ji looked at Shao Qiyun and nodded. “That’s true. You can all try to identify him then.”

  Mu Jingzhe was sitting close and had been looking at the photo. She was quite curious about Ji Buwang’s older brother, so she nodded. “Alright.”

  Mu Jingzhe, Shao Qihai, Xiao Wu, Shao Xi, and Little Bei all wrote down their answers. “Done.”

  Seeing that they had finished writing, Old Master Ji turned the photo over. There was a name written on the back of the photo, but it was written on the right side.

  Shao Qiyun frowned. “That’s impossible.”

  “Let’s see what they wrote first.”

  Ji Buwang turned around and ignored Shao Qiyun’s words, looking directly at Mu Jingzhe and the others.

  Mu Jingzhe and the rest showed their answers. She, Xiao Wu, and Little Bei had written ‘right’, with the exception of Shao Xi, who had written down ‘left’.

  Shao Xi: “Okay, I was wrong…”

  Ji Buwang smiled when he saw that Mu Jingzhe and the others had recognized him. However, when he saw Shao Qihai’s answer, the corners of his mouth twitched. Shao Qihai had also gotten it right.

  Shao Qiyun was indignant. “You’re working together to deceive me. I definitely didn’t see wrong.”

  “Who deceived you? They’re easy to tell apart.” Mu Jingzhe was speechless.

  “You must have colluded.” Shao Qiyun wanted to deny it.

  Shao Qihai frowned and retorted, “Is there a need to collude? You can tell if you look closer.”

  “How can I tell!”

  Shao Qiyun pointed at the photo. “You didn’t observe it carefully yourself. There’s a mole on Ji Buwang’s right hand. He placed his hand on his older brother’s shoulder, and you can see it clearly in the photo. If you were really sure that it’s Ji Buwang, why couldn’t you see it?”

  Shao Qiyun was stunned. Ji Buwang raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand, placing it beside the photo.

  The two brothers were really similar, but Ji Buwang had a mole on his hand, and his older brother didn’t.

  In the photo, Ji Buwang revealed one of his hands, and his older brother’s hands were both exposed. Therefore, the one with the long hair was actually Ji Buwang’s older brother.

  Shao Qiyun refused to give up and went to take a look. For a moment, she couldn’t find any reason to retort. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, “I couldn’t care less about the mole back then, okay?”

  “Sure, you can find many excuses. It’d be no trouble to find a hundred, but it’s useless. We only need one piece of evidence.” Old Master Ji was neither angry nor surprised when he heard Shao Qiyun go back on her word. He remained calm.

  They hadn’t shown the evidence to Shao Qiyun alone. It’d be best if she believed it, but it didn’t matter if she didn’t. It didn’t matter. As long as the world and Mu Jingzhe believed it, that was all that mattered.

  This was the real reason they’d found the photo.

  How could Shao Qiyun not read the meaning behind Old Master Ji’s words? Feeling aggrieved, she accepted the fact that it wasn’t Ji Buwang, but she still refused to give up. She could still hold on as long as Xiao Wu was the eldest grandson of the Ji Family.

  “Okay, I accept what you’re saying, but I still think the best solution is for me to marry into the Ji Family…”

  Seeing that she wasn’t going to stop, Ji Buwang was completely annoyed. “You still want to marry into our family? Who do you want to marry?”

  Old Master Ji held him back. “Don’t be angry.” Then, he looked at Shao Qiyun. “It seems like you have made up your mind to marry into the Ji Family.”

  “Yes.” Shao Qiyun simply admitted it. “Regardless of whether he’s Ji Buwang’s child or not, he’s still a member of your family. You have to be responsible for me. Since his older brother is dead, let Ji Buwang take responsibility and marry me.”

  Ji Buwang felt like vomiting when he heard her matter-of-fact tone. Her skin was too thick. “I think it’d be more realistic for you to dream of this.”

  Old Master Ji smiled. “Actually, if you insist on marrying into the Ji Family, it’s not impossible.”
