Chapter 19: I Took Off My Brother's Green Hat (19)

Feng Wanyi was wearing long sleeves, a mask, and a sun hat.

He stood near the Ji family's gate, covered in wounds.

There were bruises around his eyes and scratches on his forehead.

This was all done by Li Yao and her team.

People around her found her standing there suspiciously, while some who had seen her before recognized her immediately.

Pointing at her, he said, "Isn't this the eldest son of the Ji family's ex-wife? I've met her before."

"What's she doing here? Is she here to see the kids, or is she regretting the divorce?"

"Who knows? You all stay here and watch, I'll go and talk to Sister Ji."

Mrs. Ji walked along the road carrying a basket. These days, she cooks in all sorts of different ways at home.

"Going to buy groceries? Yes, I've already bought them. The ribs are fresh today." I greeted an acquaintance on the street.

Then she saw her old friend running over from not far away and calling out, "Hey, Fen'er, where are you rushing off to?"

"Looking for you? Guess who I saw in the neighborhood?" The man was a little out of breath.

Although she's in a hurry, she still knows how to keep people in suspense.

"Who is it? Your old flame who dances in the square with you?" Ji's mother couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.

"Ugh! If you keep doing this, I'm not telling you anymore!"

"Alright, alright, you can tell me," said Mrs. Ji, giving her face.

“I just saw your ex-daughter-in-law, she was near your house.”

The smile on Ji's mother's face vanished: "What?"

Feng Wanyi could hear her daughter laughing and playing in the courtyard, but she didn't expect her to stay inside. She was hesitant to go in and call her.

It sounds like Ji Huaizhi's voice.

"What are you doing here?" Ji's mother came over and yanked off her hat. "What mischief are you plotting?"

Feng Wanyi clutched her head and whispered, "What are you doing?"

When Ji's mother saw her face, she was also stunned for a moment.

The sisters behind him had gossip in their eyes: Who beat him up like this?

Could it be a lover?

Ji's mother pursed her lips and tossed the hat to her: "What are you doing sneaking around here? What bad thing are you planning to do?"

Feng Wanyi caught the hat and looked down: "I wanted to come and see the child."

"You've only just remembered you have a child?" Mrs. Ji frowned and shooed them away. "Where were you before? Shushu is doing well now, don't bother her."

“That’s my daughter too.” Feng Wanyi’s voice rose a little.

Ji's mother's sister spoke up for her, saying, "She's your daughter, but won't she be scared if she sees you like this?"

"If you really want to see your child, just call ahead and explain properly. Why wouldn't they let you see them?"

"If you suddenly show up dressed like this, the child will be scared. Don't you, as a mother, understand this?"

Feng Wanyi tilted her head to compose herself: "I understand."

"It was my oversight."

“You didn’t just not consider it carefully, you didn’t consider it at all,” said Mother Ji, turning around.

"Mom..." Feng Wanyi's outburst of address made Ji's mother turn around and glare at her.

"No, Aunt Ji," Feng Wanyi said, forcing a smile, "then can I come see the child this weekend?"

“I can’t make that decision. You should ask the child’s father.” Not wanting her son to have any more contact with her, Ji’s mother said again, “Don’t ask the child’s father. Just contact me and I’ll ask him.”

Feng Wanyi stood still and didn't move.

The others around exchanged glances and said, "You're regretting it now, aren't you?"

"After the divorce, I realized that the old ones were better. The other women were just looking for casual sex and were not meant for a long-term relationship."

"What a pity, it's too late now."

Feng Wanyi pretended not to hear them. She had done far worse things, so she didn't care about this mockery at all.

After seeing Ji's mother open the door and go inside, it seemed that she saw her long-lost daughter as the iron gate closed.

He turned and left.

Feng Wanyi truly regretted it.

However, she regrets being discovered. If Huai Jin hadn't found out about her affair, she probably wouldn't be in this situation now.

They couldn't contact He Gaolin at all; from what Li Yao and the others said, he was no longer of any use.

Li Yao also kicked her out of the property that He Gaolin had secretly arranged for her to live in, and even demanded that she repay the money He Gaolin had spent on her in the past.

However, after calculating, Li Yao and the others discovered that He Gaolin hadn't spent any money on Feng Wanyi at all.

That little bit of money is laughable.

Li Yao did laugh at that moment.

She asked Feng Wanyi, "How did you manage to make yourself so worthless?"

"I've never met a woman like you before, and I haven't seen you like him that much either."

Feng Wanyi was not after a man's money; like her father, she was only after the thrill.

The fear of being discovered is like the thrill of walking a tightrope at any moment.

But she didn't hide it well.

Ji Huaijin's trust in her made her too complacent.

The reflection from the windshield of the car approaching in front of her stung Feng Wanyi's eyes, and she saw the man in the driver's seat looking somewhat surprised and embarrassed.

I never expected him to come back so suddenly.

A burst of hot air came from the exhaust fumes.

Feng Wanyi was certain that the other person had seen her.

They were completely ignored.

It's okay. The more indifferent he seems, the more it proves that he cares.

The more he hates himself, the more it proves how much he loves himself.

She and Ji Huaijin also have a daughter as a link.

When Ji's mother saw her son return, she glanced in the direction of the community entrance and stopped him just as he was about to enter the house:

Did you see that person just now?

Ji Huaijin: "I saw her. What's she doing here?"

Ji's mother shook off his hand: "Don't contact her, and don't pay attention to her if she contacts you."

“She said she was coming to see her daughter, but I think she has ulterior motives, so if you see her, just stay away.”

Ji Huaijin unbuttoned his cuffs: "She will come again. Shushu is just an excuse."

Mrs. Ji sighed: "I know, Shushu must have heard me talking to her this afternoon, and she even told me that she heard her mother's voice."

"The child is too young to understand, and still misses his mother."

Ji Huaijin: "If she wants to see Shushu again next time, just tell her that she can only come to our house to see her."

"I don't feel comfortable letting my daughter go out with her."

Mrs. Ji pursed her lips: "Why bring her here when they're already divorced? It's bad luck."

"If others didn't know, they would think you two had remarried."

Ji Huaijin hadn't thought of that: "Then what do you suggest we do?"

"What are you talking about outside?" Ji Huaizhi asked them, munching on an apple and leaning against the wall.

The two looked at Ji Huaizhi, and Ji's mother shook her head at her youngest son: "It's nothing, we were talking about Shushu."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, she can't take Shushu out alone." After saying that, Ji's mother went inside.

Ji Huaizhi looked at Ji Huaijin: "Did that woman come today?"

"Yes." Ji Huaijin nodded. "She said she misses her child."

Ji Huaizhi laughed: "She misses you, her sucker."

Ji Huaijin looked up at his younger brother: "You... can shut your little mouth."
