The men sent by Ji Yuanxiu to investigate Xia Feng came back to report that Xia Feng had only had a secret conversation with someone once, but the person is no longer in S City and cannot be found for the time being.

Ji Yuanxiu waved his hand and let everyone go. The most important thing now was the report. He finally got the report that he had been thinking about.

He opened it with trembling hands, and after seeing the contents inside, he was overwhelmed with joy. Although he was usually calm, he couldn't help but clench his fists and jump up to cheer.

"good!"

"Very good!"

"I'm finally going to turn things around!"

At this moment he couldn't help but swear. He felt that the two huge mountains pressing on him were immediately removed.

From now on, the Ji family will be the Ji family of Ji Yuanxiu.

He excitedly came to Ji Geng. At that moment, his mother Zhen Xiuyue was accompanying Ji Geng in the back garden to enjoy the cool air and appreciate the lotus.

But most of the time, it was Zhen Xiu Yue who was talking, while Ji Geng was dozing off beside him.

He knew that his mother had not been liked by his father in recent years, but for the sake of his two siblings, she had been working hard to get the Ji family's resources for them.

Otherwise, the situation of the two brothers and sisters would be even more miserable.

He did not hide the joy on his face at this moment, and he stamped his feet deliberately as he approached, ignoring his mother's wink.

Ji Geng is over sixty years old, but he doesn't have many white hairs. Even with his eyes closed, you can see the sharpness between his eyebrows.

Ji Yuanxiu shouted directly, "Dad, I'm here."

Ji Geng didn't even open his eyes, but just said calmly, "It's the second brother, what do you want from me?"

"It's about Ji Yuanzheng." Ji Yuanxiu said bluntly.

Ji Geng opened his pair of sword-like eyes, his gaze was sharp and bright. Even though Ji Yuanxiu was prepared, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he saw Ji Geng's eyes.

Even though he had seen this look for years, he still couldn't stand the oppressive feeling.

"He is your brother. In the Ji family, you should show him the respect he deserves. This is the rule of the Ji family."

You see, whenever his father meets Ji Yuanzheng, he favors him so much. When he came back just now, he didn’t even get a glance from him, but as soon as he mentioned Ji Yuanzheng, his father sat up.

Even though there were countless such things, he really wanted to ask his father why he favored a stupid pig.

Zhen Xiu Yue, who was standing by, looked at the father and son caught in a cold atmosphere and winked at her son. As a result, her son, who used to be very good at dealing with people, seemed to be deliberately confronting her husband today.

"Then Ji Yuanzheng isn't my brother? Ji Yuanzheng isn't a member of the Ji family. Why should I respect him? Why should I be bullied by him?"

Ji Yuanxiu is now very confident, so he dares to speak so loudly today.

Ji Geng's eyes, which were slightly sunken due to age, couldn't help but widen. He stood up and looked at Ji Yuanxiu, his voice full of energy.

"Second brother, do you know what you are talking about?"

Ji Yuanxiu didn't want to play along with his father anymore. "Dad, I don't care if you adopted Ji Yuanzheng for some reason or not. He's not a member of the Ji family, so he can't get his hands on anything that belongs to the Ji family. I've already investigated everything."

As he said this, he threw the appraisal report to Ji Geng. After reading it, Ji Geng was silent for a while.

He looked at Ji Yuanxiu expressionlessly, his eyes full of emotions, but he suppressed them forcefully. "How did you know this?"

As Ji Yuanxiu watched his father admit this, he became more and more convinced that Ji Yuanzheng was related to his father's first wife.

"Dad, you don't have to worry about this. If that's the case, then let Ji Yuanzheng step down and let the wise man take over. Don't let that idiot ruin the Ji family's reputation."

Ji Geng's face looked a little depressed. He didn't say anything against Ji Yuanxiu's words. He looked up at him deeply and then slowly walked back.

Zhen Xiuyue only realized at this time, "Ji Yuanzheng is really not your father's child?"

Faced with the irrefutable evidence, Ji Yuanxiu did not hide anything.

"Yes, Mom, you don't have to put up with that bastard anymore. If he yells at you again, I'll cut his mouth off."

He remembered how much Ji Yuanzheng bullied his mother when he was a child. Once, he saw Ji Yuanzheng deliberately wet the bed and then asked his mother to clean it up herself. His pranks were countless.

Zhen Xiu Yue was also happy that no one in the family would compete with her son anymore, and life would be better for the three of them.

——

Xia Feng accompanied the three children in preparing for the start of school. Xiaorou and Xiaojing would start school in three days, while Yongan would start university later.

Xia Feng first took the three children out for a walk and bought a lot of things. Xiaorou was looking at which ones looked good, Xiaojing was helpless, and Yongan was a little distracted.

Xia Feng received a call from the Ji family's secretary. After a while, an old voice came, without saying much, and agreed on a time.

It seems that the matter can be confirmed.

The next day, Xia Feng took Xiao Jing and Xiao Rou to the Ji family's old house. Xiao Jing and Xiao Rou were still a little confused, but they still followed Xia Feng obediently.

The Ji family is different from the Lu family. This piece of land belongs to the Ji family. It looks like a scenic spot, but because there are few people, it seems deserted.

The old butler took them directly to the reception room in the middle of the villa, where an old man was sitting. As soon as Xia Feng and his men stepped in, his eyes never left Xiao Jing's face.

Xiao Jing was also very curious. Why did this person look familiar?

Suddenly I remembered how he looked like his father, or rather, how his father looked like him.

When Xia Feng walked in, there were already tears in the old man's eyes. At this moment, there were only four of them in the huge living room.

Ji Geng's first words were an apology.

"I'm sorry. If I had been more careful, or stopped dwelling on the past, I wouldn't have let you suffer so much out there."

When he knew that Ji Yuanzheng was not his son, his emotions were churning inside him, like oil boiling in a raging fire, and he even dared not face it.

He could only hold on until he reached the study, then curled up on the ground in pain. He didn't know why this happened.

The death of his late wife has always made him feel guilty. If he had returned to the Ji family sooner, perhaps his wife would not have passed away. Moreover, his wife worked hard to give birth to a son for him, so he could only be doubly nice to her.

Seeing that the child did not look like him or his wife, he thought that the child was not his biological child, but he did not dare to do it because he felt that it was an insult to his wife.

But I didn't expect it to become a lifelong regret.

He spared no effort to mobilize all his resources. When he learned about Xia Feng from his second son, he continued to investigate.

When he saw the black and white framed photo, he was on the verge of collapse.

He looked at his life story bit by bit, but the more he looked, the more heartbroken he became, until he couldn't breathe.

It turned out that the fruit of his love with his wife was subjected to such abuse without his knowledge.

He was the young master of the Ji family and could have lived a life of ease and comfort, but he died at a construction site because of his livelihood and the compensation he received was only 50,000 yuan.

These 50,000 yuan are not enough for a meal for the Ji family.

After reading all this, Ji Geng felt only irony. Was this the punishment for his ignorance and reckless behavior when he was young?

God is so unfair. If he wants to punish him, he should do it to him. Why did he let his wife leave him and his son leave him in such pain?

He could not suppress the grief and anger in his heart, and it was not until these two days that he dared to muster up the courage to see his daughter-in-law and grandson.

Looking at his grandson's face that resembled his father's, he almost couldn't control his emotions.
