"Buyi, would you like to see your own father?"
Bu Yi paused, holding the dinosaur toy. Had Mommy forgiven him?
She overheard this by accident. Once, at her mother's company, her mother thought she was asleep, but she had actually heard everything that she was saying to Aunt Xu Nuo.
She also knew that it was her father who deeply hurt her mother, which was why her mother gave birth to her alone and took care of her alone.
In her heart, her mother was still more important than her father, whom she had never met, so...
"Mommy, I'm happy with you. Of course, if you want to find me a new daddy, I don't mind."
Ji Fuying realized that she was talking about the new dad, not her own dad. She was so sensible that it was heartbreaking.
"For Mommy's sake, are you really going to abandon your own dad?"
Bu Yi lowered her head. Actually, she wanted to see her father, but if she could only choose one, she would definitely choose her mother.
Grandma said that when Mommy was pregnant with her, she often couldn't eat or sleep and suffered a lot, which was much better than what Daddy did without contributing anything.
She didn't want her mother to suffer so much alone, so she wanted to find her a husband. Her mother was young and beautiful, and shouldn't have to sacrifice so much for her.
"Mommy, have you ever thought about finding a new daddy for Buyi?"
"To be honest, I've thought about it, but it seems a bit difficult. No, isn't Mommy too useless?"
Ji Fuying rested her head on Bu Yi's small shoulder, reflecting on the past three years. Apart from ignoring Ji Yan, she didn't seem to have taken any substantial revenge.
Does she really still not have feelings for Ji Yan?
Actually, she had always had a question that she couldn't answer. Ji Yan had grown up with her and had never hurt her except for scolding her once.
That night, however, he acted like a mad beast, showing no mercy no matter how much she cried and begged. This was absolutely unacceptable.
From childhood to adulthood, Ji Yan's love for her was well-known. How could he be so cruel to her for a single photograph?
She had been caught drinking with Lu Ci before, and she had even passed out in his arms when she was drunk, but he hadn't gone crazy like he did that night.
This is what she has never been able to understand.
Bu Yi cupped Ji Fuying's face in her soft little hands, "Mommy is not useless. You are the best and most amazing mommy in the world. You can protect Bu Yi. Mommy is the best person."
Ji Fuying stroked her hand, her mood easing slightly. "Thank you, Buyi. You're always the one who comforts me when Mommy is in a bad mood."
“Mommy, you don’t need to worry about me all the time. I will grow up one day and live my own life. That’s why I want to buy you a husband. Luckily, our family is not bankrupt. I can use my allowance to pay you as a dowry.”
Ji Fuying, both amused and exasperated, playfully pinched her nose. "You're going to use your money to buy a husband for Mommy? How can you do that? You should save it for yourself when you grow up."
"What will Mommy do then? What will Mommy do if Buyi gets married when she grows up?"
The moment the word "marriage" was mentioned, Ji Fuying immediately thought of more than ten years later, when Buyi would have grown up and be wearing a wedding dress to marry into another family.
Thinking of this, she felt a pang of sadness. Yes, Bu Yi was her only one. What would she do if Bu Yi got married?
Seeing Ji Fuying in tears, Bu Yi realized that she had said the wrong thing; she seemed to have touched a sore spot for her mother.
"Mommy, don't cry, I won't remarry." Her little hands clumsily wiped away Ji Fuying's tears. She would never do anything that would make her mother unhappy.
"When you grow up, you have to get married. How can you not get married?"
Ji Fuying burst out laughing. She was already very happy that her daughter had this thought. Even at such a young age, she knew to think of her mother.
"But...Mommy didn't get married either, did she?"
"......"
The smile lingered on her face, but she could no longer smile. It turned out that she had unknowingly influenced Bu Yi.
"Buyi, Mommy is arranging for you to meet your father. Are you willing?"
She has been without a father's love for three years. If we really wait until she grows up, it may be too late.
"Mommy, ...I don't want to remember anymore." She shook her little head and refused.
This was something Ji Fuying never expected. She had always wanted a father, so why would she refuse?
"Buyi, can you tell Mommy why? Mommy wants to hear the truth."
Bu Yi looked up at her and then said, "I know that Mommy left while she was pregnant with Bu Yi because Daddy hurt Mommy."
Ji Fuying tightened her grip on her arm, looking down at her in shock, "How did you know about this? Who told you?"
“I overheard what you and Aunt Xu Nuo were saying. If you don’t want this daddy, then I don’t want it either.”
Her wish was simple: for her mother to be happy.
If she's with her dad and her mommy will be sad, then she doesn't want to acknowledge that dad anymore.
Ji Fuying suppressed her sobs, feeling as if her heart was being gripped tightly by a hand. It turned out that she knew everything.
She found out about her relationship with her father, but she still chose to be herself.
Her efforts over the past few years have paid off. Her daughter is so young yet already knows how to be grateful. What more could she ask for?
"No, I will spend my whole life with you. It's enough for me to have you by my side."
The mother and daughter talked in the room for a long time until a cell phone rang.
Ji Fuying glanced at the caller ID, put down Bu Yi, and went to the balcony.
"Any news?"
"She is in country C, but her exact location has not yet been found."
"Okay, keep an eye on her entry records. Notify me immediately if she comes to Country A."
Ji Lan actually hid in Country C. No wonder no one has realized she's not dead all these years.
This means her base of operations must be in Country C. We can no longer sit idly by and wait for our doom.
Let's wait a while longer. If she doesn't come to Country A, then I'll go find her myself.
She picked up her phone and dialed another number. "Xu Nuo, there's something I need you to do."
...
A gentle evening breeze blew by, and the streetlights on the street lit up one by one.
Han Xiao dragged his tired body back to the Ji family branch.
"President Ji, we've found out. That person is... Ji Lan."
Ji Yan, who was sitting at his desk, suddenly stood up, and the documents in his hand instantly fell to the ground.
He felt a sudden pang of heart palpitation, and his mind went completely blank.
Ji Lan is his aunt, a person who has been dead for more than 20 years. How could she possibly want to hurt Bu Yi?
