Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Speaking of this, the truth could be traced back even earlier. After growing up, Ji Buwang had been favored by girls very much. After all, he was good-looking and very mysterious.

He was popular among girls, but not so much among boys. They even hated him and felt that he was arrogant.

They didn’t know that Ji Buwang had face blindness, so they felt that Ji Buwang was too arrogant. They had always wanted to teach him a lesson. Later on, a person called Yu Lihui, who had always been at odds with Ji Buwang, had really done so.

Because the girl Yu Lihui liked didn’t like him and liked Ji Buwang instead, she’d kept chasing after Ji Buwang. Even though Ji Buwang had ignored her, it was useless. In order to win the girl’s heart and also teach Ji Buwang a lesson, Yu Lihui had meticulously plotted to teach Ji Buwang a lesson and show his sweetheart Ji Buwang’s true colors so she would give up on him.

The method he used was irresponsible but quite simple. He had tempted the beautiful and brainless Shao Qiyun, who wanted to marry a rich person, and deceived her with a few words.

As for Ji Buwang, he had used some drugs on him. At the time, Ji Buwang had been caught off guard and had fallen into a trap. Fortunately, he’d been saved by his older brother in the end.

He had dodged this scheme and woken up outside the room the next day. After he was awakened by his older brother, Ji Buwang and his older brother jumped out of the window to escape from Yu Lihui’s trap.

Later on, he had wanted to investigate what had happened, but he had unexpectedly gotten into a car accident. His older brother had passed away, and he had been so seriously injured that he had fallen into a coma.

Initially, Yu Lihui hadn’t been able to take it lying down and had wanted to continue playing. In the end, since both of them had gotten into an accident, he naturally didn’t dare plot against them again. Shao Qiyun had also been abandoned, and the culprit had tried his best to clean up any traces.

After Ji Buwang woke up, he naturally wouldn’t let go of Yu Lihui and the Yu Family. This was the right time to settle the score.

However, he hadn’t expected his older brother to fall into their trap back then. Because his older brother hadn’t said much back then, had only said that he was fine, and had passed away right after that, there was only so much Ji Buwang knew. He had always thought that his older brother hadn’t fallen for it. Besides, the other party had been Shao Qiyun. In fact, Shao Qiyun had even given birth to the child, who was currently Xiao Wu.

It was only now that Ji Buwang finally understood what had happened.

Everything seemed destined to guide him to this point and allow him to meet Mu Jingzhe and Xiao Wu. He’d even become Xiao Wu’s teacher and taught him.

Mu Jingzhe and Shao Qihai fell silent after hearing what Ji Buwang had said. “So now you’re sure that your brother is Xiao Wu’s biological father?”

“Mm, I went out to contact my grandfather just now. If I hadn’t asked him, I wouldn’t have been so sure. But combined with the news he gave me, I shouldn’t be wrong.”

Mu Jingzhe raised her eyebrows. “Your grandfather?”

“Yes, he came to the Children’s Music Festival previously. He probably saw Xiao Wu there and got suspicious, so he went back and investigated. He asked me to go back now because he wanted to talk about this.”

Mu Jingzhe understood. “So your grandfather has actually investigated it beforehand.”

Shao Qihai frowned when he heard that. “I can understand everything else, but there’s something I don’t understand. Since your grandfather suspected that he was a child of the Ji Family and went to investigate when he saw him, why did it never occur to you despite knowing him for so long?”

Shao Qihai expressed his confusion.

Ji Buwang: “…”

Because he was face-blind. He couldn’t even see Xiao Wu’s face and didn’t know what he himself looked like. How could he tell if Xiao Wu looked like him or his older brother when they were young?

After a moment of silence, Ji Buwang said, “Didn’t you not suspect anything either? Didn’t you see Xiao Wu and me too?”

This time, it was Shao Qihai’s turn to be speechless. Mu Jingzhe looked at the two of them. Actually, she knew both of their secrets, but neither of them did. At that moment, she really wanted them to secretly exchange information.

It was unknown who was more unwilling to confide in the other party—Shao Qihai, who had a tear incontinence condition, or Ji Buwang, who had face blindness.

No, that wasn’t the point. The point was that Xiao Wu was actually a child of the Ji Family. He was Ji Buwang’s nephew!

What was going on? How had he become the Ji Family’s child?

“Xiao Wu must have heard something about it just now. We have to explain this to him. We should probably tell him the truth. I’ll say that you guys didn’t know about his existence previously, okay?”

“Mm.” Ji Buwang nodded. “Since Xiao Wu is a child of the Ji Family, we naturally have to…”

“Xiao Wu is my son!” Shao Qihai interrupted Ji Buwang. “Ji Buwang, it doesn’t matter if he’s part of the Ji Family’s bloodline. I only know that Xiao Wu is my son. Don’t even think about snatching him.”

When Shao Qihai heard Ji Buwang’s words, he finally realized what was important. Ji Buwang might be there to snatch Xiao Wu!

This wouldn’t do. Absolutely not!

Ji Buwang looked at Shao Qihai. “Xiao Wu is not an object. Why are you talking about snatching him? Don’t worry, we’ll acknowledge Xiao Wu but we won’t force him to return to the Ji Family or anything like that. Xiao Wu can do whatever he likes.

“Besides, we’re not in a position to snatch Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu only grew up to be this big because of you. Our family feels only gratitude for you.” Ji Buwang stood up and bowed before Shao Qihai. He said seriously, “Thank you very much for this, Shao Qihai. If there’s anything you need in the future, just tell us. As long as it’s something within my means, I’ll do it.”

Ji Buwang was telling the truth. After discovering that Xiao Wu was his older brother’s child, he was now afraid that he was dreaming. Although Xiao Wu’s mother was Shao Qiyun, he was his older brother’s son.

His older brother had passed away just like that, and due to a freaky combination of factors, he had left behind a son. The heavens had eyes, and he couldn’t be more grateful. Why would he snatch him?

Ji Buwang didn’t know why Shao Qihai had raised Xiao Wu, but he was grateful to him for doing that.

Shao Qihai was like a hedgehog with raised prickles. He had wanted to protect Xiao Wu from being snatched by the Ji Family, but in the end, Ji Buwang’s reaction had been unexpected. Not only had he not snatched him away, but he’d even thanked him very seriously.

Actually, it was normal that he’d thanked him. From the Ji Family’s standpoint, this was something they ought to do. However, when Ji Buwang thanked him so seriously, he suddenly felt a little guilty and undeserving.

After all, he hadn’t done a good enough job as a father. Ji Buwang had no idea what Shao Qiyun had done previously. He, as a father, had also failed to do his duty.

Otherwise, Xiao Wu wouldn’t have suffered so much. At first, he hadn’t even been able to speak.

Shao Qihai pulled Ji Buwang up. “Why are you saying all this? I didn’t raise him for the Ji Family. You don’t have to say such a thing again in the future. I raised Xiao Wu as if he was my own son. I didn’t know who his biological father was in the past. He was my son. Now that I know, he’s still my son.”

Ji Buwang acknowledged this. “I know that this won’t change in the future, but I still have to thank you.”

Shao Qihai was accustomed to seeing Ji Buwang deliberately oppose him and act in a way that made him want to punch him in the face.. He was very unused to Ji Buwang suddenly being so serious and easygoing, so he felt strange. He asked suspiciously, “Since it won’t change, what exactly is on your mind?”
