“I don’t want to find a girlfriend. Auntie Shen had sex with me when I was drunk. Then I thought that, as you just said, I needed a girlfriend, so I married her, but now look at how we ended up?” Ji Hongwen said as he filled the glass with wine. “Some days ago when you were not around, Shen Heru came back to make a scene a few times, claiming that she had devoted herself to the Ji family for so many years but ended up being driven out without even a penny, so she threatened she would sue me if I didn’t give her several billion yuan.”

Ji Nuan’s face turned cold. “She secretly fed you those chronic poisons. If I send those drug test records to court, she’ll be in serious trouble. How dare she sue you? Sheng Yihan didn’t stop her from disturbing you?”

“I have no idea. Now Sheng Yihan has controlled over the Sheng family. Although he didn’t break up with his mother, he was never close to her. I don’t think he has much communication with his mother. Obviously Shen Heru’s life is not bad now, but she came to the Ji family to make trouble several times. She insisted on seeing me every time she came, crying while talking to me in person, and I ignored her and had the security drive her away.”

With that, Ji Hongwen sighed. “I don’t know what was wrong with me back then. Why did I marry such kind of a woman? Look how peaceful my current life is. When I miss my kid, I call you and you’ll come back to accompany me. When I want to live a free life, no one will bother me. I can have a drink if I want to. In the past, I didn’t even dare to hug a woman’s waist when I was socializing outside. Now, at least, my life in my later years is quite comfortable…”

The corner of Ji Nuan’s mouth twitched, but then she thought that Ji Hongwen was only in his fifties and it was easy for him to live a comfortable life.

Although the Ji family wasn’t large, life would go on. Besides, Ji Hongwen was the boss of the Ji Corporation. Even she had so many social activities, let alone Ji Hongwen who was already an old bird in the business circle. His life was probably much more wonderful than hers.

She had been worrying Ji Hongwen would be lonely, but now it seemed that she worried too much.

He raised her who was not his own daughter for so many years without regret, and now he should enjoy his life.

After dinner, Ji Nuan went straight to the study.

She hung the painting back to the original position, stood in front of the painting, and looked at it for a long time when the door of the study was opened, and Ji Hongwen came in. He paused when he saw the painting, then jerked around and stared at the painting in shock.

“So this is the painting you got in Beijing?” Ji Hongwen said and came over, still staring at the painting. Obviously, this painting aroused a lot of feelings from him.

“Yes, after all, I saw it at home when I was little when Mother often carried me to play in your study. What impressed me most was this painting. I saw it in Beijing and decided to take it back and hang it back here.”

“I really didn’t want to sell this painting and had been regretting selling it for many years. I didn’t expect to see it hanging back here in my lifetime.” Ji Hongwen looked at it for a while and said with a smile, “Nuan Nuan, it must be expensive now, right?”

“It’s not cheap.” Ji Nuan didn’t deny it.

She didn’t pay for this painting anyway.

Ji Hongwen had been looking at the painting. He must be reminiscing something because of this painting. Ji Nuan walked out after a while. She didn’t plan to stay in the Ji family tonight and wanted to go back to Yuehu Bay to rest for a few days.

Before leaving, Ji Nuan chatted with Auntie Qin for a while in the living room downstairs. When she was about to leave, Ji Hongwen came down the stairs. Seeing her, he said in a low voice, “Nuan Nuan, come up, I want to tell you something.”

Ji Nuan paused and looked up at him.

Ji Hongwen turned around and went up first.

For some reason, Ji Nuan felt that Ji Hongwen was going to tell her something important. She pondered and followed him upstairs.

When she came back to the study and closed the door, Ji Hongwen looked back at her and said, “I know you have always wanted to hear more about your mother, but you never mentioned it because I didn’t want to talk about it. But today, when I saw you take this painting back, I realized that although you were still very young when your mother passed away, it doesn’t mean that you don’t care about your mother, and it doesn’t mean that you really don’t want to know where your roots are.”

Ji Nuan looked at him calmly. “Dad, I wanted to put this painting back to the original position just because it reminds me of my childhood. Don’t take me wrong.”

“Really?” Ji Hongwen looked at her and smiled meaningfully. And then he sighed with a smile. “I didn’t want to tell you who your real father is. After all, those are not pleasant memories for me, your mother, or for that person. There is even animosity between us and him. But if I don’t want to mention it, are you really going to spend your whole life without knowing who your real father is? If it’s your choice, I certainly won’t talk about it and I don’t want to talk about it.”

Ji Nuan remained silent.

Ji Hongwen knew what she meant. He sighed again. “I heard that you had some contacts with the Xiao family recently. I think someone smart as you have sensed something even if I don’t tell you.”

There was something that seemed to be hidden under a thin piece of paper. She was calm on the surface, but her mind was in a whirl.

The Xiao family…

“I really don’t want to mention the past, but it seems that bastard will take you back into the Xiao family after he finds out about the truth. Since the truth can’t be hidden anymore, I might as well tell you the truth.” Ji Hongwen said and put a piece of paper with an address on it on the table. “You can visit this place when you’ve got time.”

Ji Nuan looked at the address written in the paper and a dark gleam flickered across her eyes.

——

After leaving the Ji family, Ji Nuan went straight back to Yuehu Bay.

Her hair had grown a lot lately. It was more than ten centimeters under her shoulders. After the shower, she blew her hair and came out, looking at the phone on the end table and the note with the address she had brought back.

She blow-dried her hair, put down the hairdryer, and sat down on the sofa. She picked up the note and looked at it for a while. She really didn’t have much work lately and could go to this place.

She picked up her phone and was about to send a message to her office, telling them that she planned to take a few days off.

As soon as she clicked open WeChat, however, she saw the messages from Mo Jingshen. He sent her the last message that night when he asked her what kind of noodles she wanted, and she answered anything would do.

His WeChat avatar was still her photo and his user name remained blank. He didn’t share anything into his WeChat Moments.

It seemed that he only used WeChat to contact her and not for anyone else.
