Chapter 25 Life Swap
Ji Xiong's lips trembled as he tried to explain, "But it didn't happen, did it? They were wrong, but they were also upright... Dad didn't know what to do at the time!"
Ji Gangzheng: "I'm your son too, Dad. My heart is made of flesh and blood!"
Tang Guixiang was feeling a bit better now. She threw the file bag at Ji Xiong and said, "Go back by yourself! You're being incredibly biased."
"Don't come to my house again and get in my way! Go live your life with your good-for-nothing son!"
"Tang Guixiang, you've gone too far!" Ji Xiong stumbled and almost fell.
Even though he fell, Tang Guixiang felt he deserved it.
Ji Gangzheng couldn't drive away his biological father, but his "ex-wife" could!
"Get out of here!"
Tang Guixiang clapped her hands: "You scared me to death! You kept such a big thing from me. I almost couldn't breathe."
Then she looked at Ji Huaizhi and said, "Grandma is cooking fish and pork ribs for dinner tonight. You all have exams coming up, so don't think about anything else. Those three are really brainless!"
After saying that, she went to the kitchen to cook.
Sun Qiao looked at the flustered Yao Guang: "I told your second uncle before that no matter what the outcome, you and Ji Huaizhi will be brothers from now on! We won't blame you for your parents' situation. We watched you grow up."
“You and Huaizhi are closer than brothers. They do things without considering your children’s feelings or future. So if you don’t want to see them in the future, just consider it as your second uncle and I having another son!”
Ji Yaoguang was actually very embarrassed: "Second Uncle and Second Aunt, I really don't have the face to stay in your house."
“I should have gone back with Grandpa.”
Ji Gangzheng: "The affairs of our previous generation have nothing to do with your next generation."
“What your second aunt just said is the result of our discussion. You are all grown up now, and you should have your own ideas and opinions on many things.”
Ji Yaoguang looked down at Ji Huaizhi: "Actually, when I found out I might be your child, I was happy."
When he was a child, he wished he could be a child of his second uncle and aunt.
Ji Huaizhi coughed lightly, put his arm around his shoulder, and led him to the room: "Let's go back to the room. Don't think about these things now."
Sun Qiao: "It's a pity we can't see Feng Li's expression. We kept switching between her and Feng Li's expressions. I didn't expect the child to disown them. It's their own fault. But I don't want to go too far and affect Yaoguang."
Ji Gangzheng: "It's alright, Yaoguang is a sensible child, are you relieved now?"
Sun Qiao nodded, her previous worried expression gone: "Actually, I don't mind having two sons. I like Yaoguang too, so I never talk about his parents' affairs in front of him."
Ji Gangzheng: "Well, aren't he and Huaizhi actually brothers?"
"Let's cut ties with that place from now on."
Sun Qiao looked up: "Are you no longer concerned about brotherhood?"
"I'm really annoyed right now. I get annoyed just hearing their names."
Sun Qiao was finally satisfied.
Ji Xiong took the things back, and Feng Li and Ji Gangqiang were discussing the house repair, but it was too hot, so they planned to start construction in the second half of the year.
"Dad, have you told Yaoguang about the house repair?" Ji Gangqiang asked.
Ji Xiong threw the things on the table: "The house isn't important right now, take a look at this."
The two picked up the item to look at it. Feng Li couldn't understand it, and Ji Gangqiang, seeing so many densely packed words, also couldn't understand it: "What is this?"
"This is your paternity test. Ji Huaizhi is not your child. Your child is Yaoguang!" Ji Xiong said with a stern face. "I think you guys are really out of your minds."
"What?"
Ji Jiao brought Ji Qian in.
When Ji Qian heard how messy the house was, she took leave and came back. Plus, Yao Guang was about to take the college entrance exam, so as his older sister, she had to come back to encourage him.
As soon as I came in, I heard them discussing this matter.
"Impossible!" Feng Li stood up excitedly: "This is impossible. Gang Qiang and I switched the babies back then."
"So Yaoguang is their child!"
Ji Gangqiang also frowned: "Yes, I saw it at the time. There seems to be a problem with this appraisal."
Ji Jiao frowned. Ji Qian already thought it was outrageous on the phone, and now hearing their words made her think they were even more crazy.
"You're swapping children? Don't you know that's illegal?!" Ji Qian shouted.
Ji Gangqiang was still in a daze when he turned around and yelled, "Shut up! It's not your place to speak now!"
Feng Li, holding the document, couldn't understand it at all. She grabbed Ji Qian and said, "Look, what does this say? Ji Huaizhi is our child, isn't he?"
Ji Qian pushed her away in annoyance.
He took the identification document and rolled his eyes: "It says that Ji Yaoguang and Ji Gangqiang are biologically father and son, while Ji Huaizhi is the child of Sun Qiao and Ji Gangzheng!"
Ji Qian threw down her things, raised her chin, and sneered: "So you guys are so sexist, but after your little brother was born, you didn't really care about him because you thought he wasn't your son?"
Feng Li turned to Ji Gangqiang and said, "This isn't true. They must have changed their hair."
“We didn’t see them deliver it. What if they replaced these on the way? Don’t you think so?” Feng Li tried to get Ji Gangqiang to stand on her side.
After so long, Ji Gangqiang's memory has become very blurry.
“All I remember is that you did switch the babies, and then Gangzheng went into the ward,” Ji Gangqiang said.
Ji Xiong slammed his fist on the table: "What? Are you regretting not successfully switching the children now?"
"Back then, the second child's family had a difficult childbirth, and the two babies looked exactly alike at birth. You must have mixed them up while feeding or bathing them. I never expected that switching them would result in them being switched back." Ji Xiong said with a dark face, "It's like even God is trying to stop you!"
Ji Gangqiang looked confused: "Really?"
Feng Li also doubted herself, but then her eyes immediately cleared: "Impossible, Ji Huaizhi really is my child, because his little face turned purple at the time."
"It's definitely correct, this test needs to be redone!" Feng Li shouted.
Ji Qian glanced at her eldest sister: "Has this been the situation at home lately?"
Ji Jiao nodded wearily: "I bought a cot at the store, and sometimes I don't even want to come back."
(I just got home and I can't finish writing yet. I'll finish yesterday's and finish today's tomorrow. My family's checkup, which they booked last month, can finally be done, so I'll be busy again for a while. I'll try my best to keep updating during this time. Good night.)
"Ji Qian, take another look. Is there a mistake written here?" Ji Gangqiang was also a little tired, seemingly doubting his own memory.
“I’ve already checked it. I read it aloud from the words on it, so there’s no mistake,” Ji Qian replied.
Feng Li looked at Ji Gangqiang: "What do you mean?"
Ji Gangqiang shook his head: "I just think maybe it's true what Dad said, we were nervous back then..."
“Impossible!” Feng Li interrupted him: “I know better than anyone, I knew it back then.”
"Maybe they got the hair mixed up? So this test needs to be redone."
"I think you've all gone mad. What's the point now? No matter which child it is, they don't want to acknowledge you. What's the point of arguing about this?" Ji Xiong roared.
"Yes!" Feng Li stepped forward: "My son can't call Sun Qiao's mom! My son will take care of us in our old age!"
Ji Qian sneered: "Now you're saying all this? What were you doing before?"
"Ji Qian! Is this how you talk to us? We've been back for so long and you're only just getting back now, and you're talking to us like this?" Ji Gangqiang roared at her sternly with a dark face.
"I'm telling the truth!"
Ji Jiao pulled her aside: "Let's go back to the room first. You can't explain it to them."
Feng Li was so angry that she tore up the paternity test results.
Seeing that his father had left, Ji Gangqiang looked at Feng Li, unsure of what to do: "Let's stop making a fuss for now, the children are about to take the college entrance exam."
Feng Li was somewhat bewildered: "You're starting to act like a good person now? You didn't object when I was doing these things before."
Ji Qian and Ji Jiao went to find Ji Yaoguang, comforted and encouraged him, and told him to focus on his exam. They also brought him a lot of things to share with Ji Huaizhi.
"I understand. You should go back now," Ji Yaoguang said.
"Second sister, you should probably go back to work soon. It's just an exam. Ji Huaizhi and I have already decided where to take the exam."
"Okay! We'll be going now, we'll come see you again next time." The two waved to him.
Just as Ji Yaoguang was about to return to school, Ji Gangqiang stopped him.
"What are you doing here?" Ji Yaoguang asked indifferently.
"Your mom asked me to take you for a DNA test. She doesn't trust the last one and is afraid there might have been a mistake." Ji Gangqiang sighed, "Don't blame us, actually we..."
“I’ll go with you this time. Once it’s done, don’t bother me again.” Ji Yaoguang didn’t want to listen to his nonsense.

During the college entrance examination, the Ji brothers were not assigned to the same examination room, but the Ji sisters, Ji Jiao and Ji Qian, also came.
Sun Qiao and Ji Gang looked around; it seemed that the couple hadn't come.
"Second Uncle and Second Aunt, my brother has really troubled you." Ji Jiao said to them shyly, and Ji Qian also greeted them warmly.
Ji Gangzheng shook his head: "What's the trouble?"
Sun Qiao, not seeing anyone, asked them, "What did your parents go to Yaoguang for before? Did they go to the identification center?"
Ji Qian nodded, her tone a little embarrassed: "Yes, my parents... I'm sorry, Uncle and Aunt."
“It has nothing to do with you kids.” Sun Qiao waved her hand and turned to Ji Gangzheng, saying, “I told you your older brother wouldn’t believe it; they would definitely do it again.”
“When Huaizhi told me, I immediately guessed it was him.”
"Never mind them. After their college entrance exams, the two brothers will go to the provincial capital. Just hang in there for this period."
Ji Jiao overheard Ji Gangzheng's words.
Ji Jiao looked up in surprise: "My brother is going to the provincial capital?"
Ji Qian was also surprised: "Are they going to visit the school? Why are they going so early?"
Ji Gangzheng and Sun Qiao seemed surprised that the two of them didn't know: "They still have a long time after their exams, right? The two brothers want to go to the city together to broaden their horizons and also see what university is like." Ji Gangzheng didn't mention that he was asking them to handle the demolition compensation.
I heard that Yaoguang is also going to buy a house with Huaizhi later. It's best not to cause any trouble for such an important matter.
Especially since there are two abnormal people in the family.
Ji Jiao's eyes gleamed with envy: "Time flies so fast."
As soon as Ji Huaizhi finished handing in his exam paper and walked to the school gate, he saw Ji Yaoguang walking towards him.
The two exchanged a glance, smiled, and rushed out together.
Inspired by their example, the students behind them ran towards the future together. The sun shone on the faces of these bright and beautiful young people as they embarked on their respective paths.
Ji Yaoguang glanced back at the school gate; it was over.
"Ji Yaoguang!"
Looking back at Ji Huaizhi, a subtle smile flickered in his eyes as he waited for her ahead: "Let's go."
Ji Yaoguang then realized that Ji Huaizhi seemed to have been waiting for him all these years, and not just this once.
"Walk."

Feng Li and Ji Gangqiang took a taxi to Sun Qiao's house. When they looked out the door, they saw that only Tang Guixiang was inside, playing music and dancing the Yangko.
Feng Li nudged Ji Gangqiang, signaling him to speak first.
To be honest, Ji Gangqiang really didn't know how to face Tang Guixiang.
"mom."
Tang Guixiang was so engrossed in her dancing that she didn't notice the commotion at the door.
Ji Gangqiang raised his voice a little: "Mom!"
Tang Guixiang froze, turned off her personal microphone, and immediately put on a stern face when she saw the person who had come in: "What are you doing here? Who's your mother? Didn't your mother die a long time ago? Are you cursing me?"
"Um..." Ji Gangqiang rubbed his hands awkwardly, "Mom, I'm here to pick Yaoguang up."
Seeing that he didn't speak up, Feng Li said, "Yaoguang has troubled you for so long, it's time for him to go home. The brat doesn't even know who his mother is anymore, so the two of us came to pick him up ourselves."
Feng Li gave a forced, insincere smile.
Tang Guixiang took something off her waist and placed it on the stage: "Hmph, Feng Li, who are you being sarcastic to? You parents are being irresponsible, yet you talk as if we're the ones who stole your son."
"If it weren't for us, would Ji Yaoguang have grown up like this? He has eyes; doesn't he know who treats him well?"
Tang Guixiang is now older and has become somewhat plump.
Feng Li's gaze fell on her gold bracelet. This old hag, at such an advanced age, still wearing a gold bracelet, she's shameless.
“That’s not right. It’s not like your family doesn’t have children. If you hadn’t been stirring up trouble, Yaoguang wouldn’t be so disobedient.”
"Sowing discord?" Tang Guixiang said as if she had heard something amusing. "I don't even care to talk about you. Yaoguang doesn't even want to tell you when he goes on a long trip. Do you really need us to sow discord between you?"
"What do you mean? What long trip is he going on?" Ji Gangqiang was stunned.
Feng Li panicked as well.
"Go ask your dad yourself, don't bother me!" Tang Guixiang shooed them out.
"Wait, where's my son! Did you hide him?" Feng Li screamed, "Give me back my son, or I'm calling the police!"
"Get out!" Tang Guixiang pushed Feng Li to the ground. Over the years, she had been exercising and was in better physical condition than many young people.
"Then go ahead and report it. Anyway, he already told Jiaojiao and her sister when he left, and he also told that old bastard Ji Xiong. He probably didn't want to acknowledge you because he didn't tell you."
