Downstairs at the hospital.
Just as Lu Ci was about to walk in, he happened to run into Ji Yan, who looked lost and dejected, and the anger in his heart surged up again.
It can be said that enemies meet on a narrow road.
Without saying a word, he went straight for Ji Yan, who was covered in wounds, and punched him again and again, each blow aimed at killing him.
Ji Yan had just been beaten up by his family and forgot to fight back until Lu Ci's angry shouts rang out, at which point he realized who had hit him.
"Ji Yan, you hypocritical beast, I'll take your life."
His face was filled with extreme ferocity. He grabbed Ji Yan's shoulder and pressed down hard, raising his knee to strike Ji Yan's stomach.
He used almost all the strength he had ever had in his life, his only thought was to kill Ji Yan. He knew that even if he killed Ji Yan, he would not escape punishment.
But the Lu family would never tolerate such an outrageous injustice. Even at the cost of their lives, they would kill Ji Yan, that hypocritical beast.
When Ji Yan came to his senses, Lu Ci's knees were only five centimeters away from his stomach, and he could only grab his arm and turn around quickly.
Although they escaped Lu Ci's knee, the two fell to the ground and began to wrestle, neither willing to give in.
"Lu Ci, I'm going to kill you. If it weren't for you, why would I treat her like this? You shouldn't have provoked her."
He flipped over and pinned Lu Ci to the ground, then punched him hard in the face. To his surprise, Lu Ci didn't dodge.
His distraction gave Lu Ci an opportunity to turn around and swing at Ji Yan's face, saying, "I'll take your punch. You'll know how much this punch costs later."
The two fought fiercely until someone called Ji Ze in the ward, at which point the others went down to stop them.
Even after being separated, the two glared at each other resentfully. In the end, Ji Ming had no choice but to take Ji Yan away first.
Lu Ci followed Ji Ze upstairs to the VIP ward.
Inside the ward, Ji Fuying slowly drank the soup that An He fed her, her face no longer showing that heartbreakingly desperate expression.
"Mom, you should go back and rest. You're not feeling well either. It's enough that my second brother is taking care of me."
Anhe gently wiped her lips with a tissue, then shook her head firmly. "Your second brother is a man. How can he take good care of you if he's so careless?"
She insisted on staying in the hospital with her daughter until she was fully recovered before taking her back to the Ji family's old house.
She would never allow anyone to hurt her precious daughter again, not even Ji Yan.
Lu Ci paused at the doorway, staring blankly at the mother and daughter inside, their affection palpable, and a wave of worry washed over him.
So, besides Ji Yan, everyone in the Ji family dotes on her so much. She must have a deep affection for the Ji family. Given this, would she still be willing to return to the Lu family?
When Ji Fuying looked up, she saw Lu Ci standing in a daze at the door, and forced a smile onto her face.
"Lu Ci, you're here. Why don't you come in?"
Ji Fuying leaned weakly against the headboard, her voice weak and feeble, a stark contrast to her former lively self.
The more he saw her like this, the deeper the sorrow in Lu Ci's eyes became. It seemed that he hadn't hit her hard enough earlier.
He suppressed his intense anger and tried his best to remain calm before walking to Ji Fuying's side.
Her eyes welled up with tears. It had only been a short time since they last met, and she had become like this. Her usually cold and arrogant voice was now hoarse. "Are you alright?"
"It's just as you see it, neither good nor bad."
“…” He glanced at An He and Ji Ze beside him, wanting to say something, but it was inconvenient because they were there.
"Mom, Second Brother, I'd like to eat something else. Could you go and buy me some?"
“This…” Anhe hesitated for a moment, but seeing her daughter’s pleading eyes, she finally left the ward with Jize.
Only after the ward door was opened and closed again did she look Lu Ci in the eye and ask frankly, "Is there something you want to say to me?"
Now is the best opportunity; otherwise, he won't be able to say it again once his mother and second brother come back.
Lu Ci took a deep breath, then looked earnestly into Ji Fuying's eyes, his gaze so tender it could melt your heart, "Do you know your real name?"
"Real name? My name is Ji Fuying."
"Have you thought about your biological parents? If you found them, would you go back to them?"
He leaned forward, his voice filled with trepidation, afraid of hearing her rejection and also afraid that she still couldn't bear to part with the Ji family.
"I have no idea."
She had never thought about it before. Perhaps she had considered it a little when she was younger, but as she grew older, she gradually came to terms with it.
Cherishing the people in front of you is the most important thing. Her family treats her so well, so she has no reason to go looking for her biological parents, whom she may not be able to find.
"Lu Ci, why would you ask that?"
In her memory, Lu Ci was not the kind of person who would make assumptions without reason; there must be a reason why he asked this question.
"There's something I need to ask for your forgiveness for. I secretly took a hair from your head during dinner that day." As he said this, Lu Ci's gaze darted away, and he didn't even dare to look Ji Fuying in the eye.
"Take my hair? You want to help me find my biological parents?" Ji Fuying was a little confused. What was his purpose in doing this?
What benefit would it bring him to find his biological parents?
"Yes, I'm sorry."
"So, did you find it?" she asked lazily, but she knew very well that it was impossible to find it after twenty years.
Lu Ci's words, however, shattered her first line of defense: "We found them. They're in Kyoto right now."
Her hands, hanging by the bedside, gradually tightened, and a faint light flashed in her eyes. "Lu Ci, stop joking. I'm not in the mood for this."
She was already annoyed enough; now she just wanted to get rid of Ji Yan completely and give birth to the child somewhere he couldn't find her.
During this period, she probably won't be able to see her parents and grandparents either, and as time goes on, her pregnancy will become obvious.
Lu Ci looked at her with doting eyes. It was normal for her to be unwilling to believe it, since things had happened so suddenly, but he had evidence to prove her identity.
"Do you have a four-petal flower birthmark on your right shoulder?"
"Yes." Her answer was only one word, but it was spoken with great conviction.
"I had our hair tested for DNA, and here are the results. I took a picture of them. Do you... want to see them?"
The unlocked phone was handed to Ji Fuying, but after thinking about it for a long time, she still didn't have the courage to take it.
What if...? Would she have to leave her loving family? If so, she still doesn't want to know the outcome.
