Ji Yinbing stood up and nodded at Ji Ru politely.

  Ji Ru walked over and grabbed Ji Yinbing’s hand. She said, “Just by looking at your face, I knew that you must be Xiao Yue’s child.” Her right hand, which was only old, gently slid across Ji Yinbing’s face. Gradually, Ji Ru completely lost her composure. She said excitedly with a trembling voice, “You and your mother are exactly the same. I think I saw Xiao Wu again, standing in front of me.”


  Ji Ru picked Ji Yinbing up and cried.

  The more she cried, the more sorrowful she became. “Our Xiao Wu was only 22 years old when she went missing. All these years, there has been no news of her…… Your mother, she……” Only Ji Yinbing came today, which meant that her mother was probably doomed.

  Ji Yinbing fell silent.

  Her silence made Ji Ru’s heart ache.

  Ji Jie then called Ji Ru over. “Third Sister, come here. Come and take a look. Is this Xiao Wu’s?”


  Ji Ru walked to her brother’s side.

  She picked up the bracelet and took a look at it before sobbing. “It’s really Xiao Wu……” Ji Ru held the bracelet and explained while crying,” This is her token of love for Mr. Han. Xiao Wu liked it back then and always mentioned it to me. ”


  “She and Mr. Han each have one bracelet……”


  When Ji Jie heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief.

  His old eyes looked at Ji Yinbing and at Ji Yinbing’s familiar but distant face. He called out to Xiao Wu with tears in his eyes. After calling him Xiao Wu, Ji Jie sobbed non-stop. Seeing this, his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren all rushed forward to comfort him.

  After a while, Ji Jie calmed down.

  They asked Ji Yinbing some more questions.

  Ji Yinbing only told them what she knew. After hearing Ji Yinbing’s story, everyone was so angry that they were trembling.

  “Outrageous!” Ji Jie was so angry that his cheeks were trembling.

  “That bastard! He’s simply a beast!” Ji Jie called him a bastard because he scolded Ji Yinbing’s father. Ji Yinbing remained silent. She had no right to speak. What his father had done to his mother, using the word ‘beast’ to describe it was an insult to a beast.

  Seeing that Ji Yinbing remained silent, Ji Ru realized that their insult to Ji Yinbing’s father was also an insult to Ji Yinbing. She quickly pulled Ji Jie’s arm. Ji Jie regained his senses and said to Ji Yinbing, “Sorry, girl. I just…… My heart aches for our Xiao Wu.”


  “I understand.” Ji Yinbing thought of her mother and her eyes turned red.

  Yan Nuo did not want the Ji family to take their anger out on her because of Ji Yinbing’s birth father. He took the initiative and told them what Ji Yinbing’s birth father had done to Ji Yinbing. After hearing Yan Nuo’s story, everyone was even angrier.

  “He’s simply inhumane! He can even sell his eight-year-old daughter! He deserves to die!”


  “It’s an insult to this world for such a scumbag to live!”


  Everyone denounced Ji Yinbing’s biological father and could not help but sympathize with Ji Yinbing. Ji Yinbing glanced at Yan Nuo, who shook his head slightly at her. Only then did she choose to remain silent.

  Even though the Ji siblings were angry about what had happened to Xiao Wu, she had already passed away. Other than reminiscing about her, there was nothing they could do.

  About an hour later, everyone gradually calmed down.

  Ji Jie then said to Ji Yinbing, “Bingbing, Uncle has a presumptuous request……” Ji Jie found it hard to say.

  Ji Yinbing said considerately, “Tell me.”


  After hesitating for a moment, Ji Jie still spoke shamelessly. He said, “All these years, your fourth uncle has been holding a grudge over your mother’s matter. He’s already someone who’s about to die and still can’t let go of your mother. He’s still holding on to this breath because his wish has not been fulfilled.”


  Ji Jie stared at Ji Yinbing’s face that was exactly the same as Ji Yue’s and boldly suggested, “Can you do us a favor……”


  Ji Yinbing understood what Ji Jie meant.

  They wanted her to pretend to be Ji Yue to lie to Ji Chen so that he could pass away without worry.

  Ji Yinbing agreed in the end.

  Ji Ru brought her to change her clothes. During this period, the news that the daughter of the Ji family’s fifth daughter had returned to the door to acknowledge her relatives had already spread. On the third day of the New Year, Han Bing also had to rest. He had just sent away a group of subordinates who had come to pay their respects when his son returned.

  He asked Han Luofan, “Where did you go?”


  Han Luofan said, “Fang Yusheng and Xiao Sheng have returned to Junyang City. I’m going to catch up with them.”


  Han Bing nodded and was about to return to his room when Han Luofan suddenly stopped him. “Dad, do you know the Ji family’s fifth daughter?”


  Han Bing stopped in his tracks. His wide eyes remained motionless, as if they had frozen.

  In the kitchen, Madam Han, Cai Jie, who was washing the coffee cups, was so shocked that she dropped the coffee cup in her hand. Hearing the sound, Han Luofan looked into the kitchen and asked his mother, “Mom, what’s wrong?”


  Cai shook her head. “My hand slipped,” she said.

  Han Luofan looked up at the corridor. Seeing that his father was still standing there, he said, “Dad, do you know Miss Ji Wu?”


  Han Bing did not admit it, but he did not deny it either. He turned around and walked back. Han Bing walked to the living room and sat down. He poured himself a cup of water and took a sip before asking Han Luofan, “Why did you suddenly mention this?”


  “I heard a gossip outside today.”


  “Yes?”


  Han Luofan said in a low voice, “The daughter of the Ji family’s fifth daughter is here to acknowledge her family!”


  Bang—


  This time, it was Han Bing’s cup that fell to the ground.

  “Dad?”


  Han Luofan was not stupid.

  When he mentioned the Ji family’s fifth daughter, his mother first lost her composure. Then, his father, who had always been calm and composed, actually lost his composure. This was no longer a simple relationship between them. Han Luofan’s face darkened. He asked Han Bing, “What’s your relationship with the Ji family’s Miss Wu?”


  Han Bing remained silent.

  He lowered his head and was deep in thought.

  At this moment, Cai Jie walked out of the kitchen.

  She said to Han Luofan, “Luo Fan, go back to your room. I have something to say to your father.”


  After hesitating for a moment, Han Luofan still got up and returned to his room.

  After he left, Cai Jie picked up the cup on the ground. She placed the cup on the table and sat down beside Han Bing.

  Han Bing said in a painful tone, “She’s not dead……”


  Cai Jie remained silent.

  Han Bing added, “She’s already married and has children. In order to stay away from me, she actually chose to disappear and leave. She won’t return to Junyang City for the rest of her life. She’s really heartless……”


  Cai Jie patted Han Bing’s shoulder and comforted him. “There might be a misunderstanding between us.”


  Han Bing covered his face with his hands and sighed. “No, she must be angry at me. She refused to forgive me. She’s probably angry at me!” At this moment, Han Bing was like an old man who had just fallen out of love. He did not have the demeanor of a provincial boss at all.

  Cai Jie looked at Han Bing and her gaze darkened……

  When Ji Yinbing appeared in front of everyone in a red dress, a small black windbreaker, and a pair of earrings embedded with gold and jade, Ji Jie and Ji Ru were stunned. Then, they could not help but have their eyes turn red.
