Hearing this, Yang Xue, who was standing to the side, stared wide-eyed in horror.

How did that little bitch know?

She kept this a secret for so many years, and even her husband and son didn't know.

Yang Xue was terrified.

But then I thought, Ruan Xu is already dead, so it doesn't matter if this gets out.

Anyway, he couldn't possibly know.

Moreover, she went to the bar to drown her sorrows because Ruan Xu had hit her.

That's why she had sex with some unknown man and got pregnant.

This is nothing serious; she just made a mistake that all women make.

"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense!" Ruan Jiaojiao cried, "Mom, she called me a bastard, she said I'm not Dad's daughter, Mom, please say something!"

When he turned his head, he saw Yang Xue looking terrified, clearly feeling guilty that her secret had been exposed.

Ruan Jiaojiao's heart sank heavily, and she even forgot to cry.

Ruan Jian also saw his mother's expression and immediately lost his temper.

"Mom, is what she said true? My sister really isn't Dad's daughter? How could you do this? How can you face Dad like this?"

Yang Xue retorted nervously, "You believe her nonsense? She's just taking advantage of us widows and orphans now that your father is gone! You mustn't fall for her tricks! This little girl looks soft and sweet, but she's actually ruthless."

Ruan Jian agreed with this point.

The Ji family members are all black-hearted.

They are clearly so rich; a little bit of money slipping through their fingers would be enough for their whole family to enjoy.

But they insist on working themselves, and they only pay them such a small wage, barely enough to feed beggars!

So no wonder they stole his luck, no wonder they embezzled public funds, no wonder they took kickbacks!

They were all forced into this by the Ji family!

Thinking of this, Ruan Jian's doubts were dispelled.

He looked at Qiqi and said coldly, "You little brat, you're so vicious at such a young age. You'll only be a menace when you grow up! I'll wait and see the day you ruin the Ji family!"

Seeing his expression, Qiqi knew that this person had no remorse whatsoever.

Her eyes darted around, she reached into her pocket, pulled out a talisman, and flicked it towards Ruan Jian.

Ruan Jian saw her flick something at him and instinctively tried to dodge, but his body seemed to be bound in place by a force, and he couldn't dodge at all. He could only stand there stuck in the talisman.

Moreover, after he was able to move, he tried to tear off the talisman, but the talisman suddenly turned into golden light, entered his body, and disappeared.

"What...what did you stick on me?" Ruan Jian asked in a trembling voice, somewhat frightened.

Yang Xue saw it too, her eyes wide with horror: "You little vixen, what did you do to my son?"

"Don't worry, I just put a Heavenly Punishment Talisman on him." Qiqi clapped her hands, blinking her big, innocent eyes. "A Heavenly Punishment Talisman is a kind of talisman used to prevent people from doing bad things. As long as you have any evil thoughts, the talisman will sense them and send lightning down on your head!"

Imagine what it would feel like if a thunderbolt exploded in your head!

It must be incredibly exciting!

The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, but what she said made Ruan Jian tremble all over.

He forced a tough stance: "Stop playing tricks on me, do you think I'd believe you..."

"Believe it or not, you'll know once you try it." Qiqi shrugged indifferently.

Her cheeky expression made Ruan Jian want to tear her mouth apart.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, he felt something explode inside him.

The numbing pain made him involuntarily clutch his head and scream!

Everyone could clearly see that wisps of black smoke appeared out of thin air on Ruan Jian's forehead, and his hair looked like it had been electrocuted and was burnt.

Ruan Jian was writhing on the ground in pain, finally believing Qi Qi's words, and dared not let another bad thought creep into his mind.

Yang Xue looked at Qi Qi with a horrified expression, while Ruan Jiaojiao covered her mouth and didn't dare to breathe.

I was afraid that I might offend Qiqi and give her a talisman like this too.

When Qiqi and the others left the hospital, they encountered a police car in the parking lot.

What are the police doing at the hospital?

"They're probably here to catch that scoundrel cousin."

"Arrest Ruan Jian?" Ji Chengfeng raised an eyebrow. He had no intention of pursuing the matter of Ruan Jian taking kickbacks.

"That scoundrel cousin killed someone in a car accident last month, and then tried to find someone to take the blame. But the person he found to take the blame betrayed him after seeing the news of his uncle's death, so the police came to arrest him!"

"What?!" Ji Chengfeng was greatly shocked.

He knew that Ruan Jian had always acted arrogantly, relying on his relationship with the Ji family.

But he believed that he at least had a bottom line.

Unexpectedly, he even dared to find someone to take the blame for such a serious crime as causing a murder, showing a complete disregard for the law.

Ji Chengfeng was somewhat annoyed. If it weren't for the fact that he had been lenient with the Ruan family out of consideration for their kinship, Ruan Jian wouldn't have dared to treat human life so lightly.

He felt very uncomfortable.

Qiqi saw through her father's thoughts and quickly comforted him, "Dad, some people are just born bad. No matter how good or bad you are to them, you can't change their nature. Look at my brothers, I'm very good to them too, but they are kind and upright. It's clear that excellent people are excellent at heart. If you're good to them, they will only feel grateful, not use that kindness as a means to do bad things!"

Qiqi's words stunned everyone present.

"My goodness, my Qibao is amazing! Even many people in their fifties and sixties might not understand this profound truth." Madam Ji praised her generously.

Ji Chengfeng looked at her with a face full of surprise: "Qi Bao, who taught you all these words?"

"Some of it was taught by my master, and some by Grandpa Dean." Qiqi smiled shyly at the praise, her fair and delicate face flushed with a light pink.

Ji Chengfeng and his wife exchanged a glance and couldn't help but sigh, "Dean Huang is truly a person of great wisdom and worthy of respect."

"Yes, Qi Bao's master must also be a reclusive master!" Madam Ji exclaimed in agreement.

"If I have the chance to meet him, I must ask him for some advice."

Qiqi smiled but remained silent.

My master lived more than a thousand years ago! If Dad were to meet him, he would definitely be shocked!

Ji Chengfeng was about to drive away when his mother, Old Madam Ji, called.

"Little Five," Ji Chengfeng was the fifth child in the Ji family, with four older brothers and one younger brother, "I've told your brothers about you adopting Qiqi, and they want to meet her. Bring Qiqi back to the old house, and we'll have dinner there tonight!"
