Chapter 9

Ji Yao leaned against Yun Yue, half-hugging her to comfort her, “It’s not your fault, Mom. And if Sister likes money, our family happens to have plenty and can completely satisfy her. When she comes home, I will talk to her and suggest that she come to our school to study too. Maybe after we attend classes together for a while, these feudal and superstitious ideas will change?”

Ji Ying agreed, “Yao Yao is right, Mom, don’t worry too much.”

Ji Yao added, “Although Sister likes these things, and though it’s a bit superstitious, doesn’t it have to do with Feng Shui? My room faces south and gets sunlight, and when she comes, I’ll give her my room. She should like it.”

Ji Yi didn’t quite agree, “How can you give up your room like that, Yao Yao? You don’t have to be so accommodating.”

Ji Ying said, “Yeah, Yao Yao, there’s no need for that. Your room will always be the best one.”

Ji Hui said, “There’s an empty room on the second floor inside. We can have Chen Aunt tidy it up before she arrives. Yao Yao, you don’t need to give up your room.”

Ji’s parents also agreed, “Yes, yes, Yao Yao, no matter what, you’re our precious daughter and don’t need to give it up.”

Ji Yao smiled and leaned closer to Yun Yue, “Okay~ thank you, Dad, Mom, and brother.”

Seeing her daughter being so sensible, Yun Yue rubbed Ji Yao’s head with heartache. Her real daughter was back. Yao Yao was sensitive and might have suffered a lot. Yun Yue loved her child forever, but over the years, people’s hearts can become biased.

Yun Yue secretly made up her mind. When Ji Jing comes back, she must balance everything out. Whatever Ji Jing has, Yao Yao should have too.

Ji Ying’s relationship with Ji Yao is the closest. He doesn’t really look forward to Ji Jing’s return. Compared to that, he wants to protect his sister, who has been pampered for over ten years.

Ji Yao used to have a naive and outgoing personality, and they all protected her very well. Since they found Ji Jing, Yao Yao became cautious, and it pained Ji Ying to see her like that.

Moreover, every time Ji Ying thought of that dog, he felt an itchy hatred. That dog made him look bad in public, and he remembered it well!

Ji’s parents were still considering how to handle the situation if the little Taoist is Ji Jing.

Ji Ying said, “Her dog must be properly restrained, otherwise let the steward keep it in the house outside, don’t bring it in!”

Ji Ming disagreed, “That won’t do. She takes the dog with her when she leaves the temple. She must really love her dog. Let the steward prepare a doghouse and keep it in the yard.”

Ji Yao said, “Yes, it’s okay to keep it in the yard. My little garden is just right for it.”

“Oh,” Ji Yao thought again, “Are there some plants that the dog shouldn’t be near? We need to tell the steward to tidy up the garden. It’s a pity that the azaleas in the yard are blooming so nicely.”

Ji Yi comforted her, “Yao Yao, you’ve taken care of those azaleas for so long to get them to bloom. How can we just dig them up? Just arrange the doghouse on the north side of the garden and tie the dog with a rope to prevent it from running around.”

Ji Hui said calmly, “Yes, Yao Yao, don’t worry. Besides, we’re not even sure if she’s Ji Jing.”

Yes, the paternity test hasn’t come out yet. They discussed so much, but it may all be just wishful thinking.

The mood of Ji’s parents suddenly dropped.

Ji Yao quickly said some playful words to liven up the atmosphere.

Ji Ming perked up and talked about the day when Ji Jing came, everyone should have a welcoming ceremony to be happy.

However, the Ji brothers were not interested and didn’t want to do it.

Ji Yao quickly came forward to smooth things over, “Brothers don’t understand these ceremonial things, but we can each prepare some gifts for Jing Jing sister. That’s not difficult for brothers, right?”

Ji Yao teased her brothers who never lacked girlfriends.

Just as she was about to say what gifts to prepare for Ji Jing, before she could finish the word “gifts,” she suddenly swayed and fell directly into Yun Yue’s arms.

“Yao Yao!!!”

The Ji family took the green channel of the appraisal agency, and the paternity test results came out the next day.

The little nun was indeed the long-lost daughter of the Ji family.

When the news came out, some were happy and some were sad.
