Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 448 sounds rather upright
Upon hearing Du Anrao's words, Du Hexuan couldn't help but shiver.

It's one thing to be determined to confess your feelings to your sister, but it's quite another to be seen through by her and forced to drop Marco!
Frightened, Du Hexuan decided to take the initiative and change the subject so that his sister could forget about it for the time being.

"Ahem, you're saying you're this child's uncle, his biological uncle?"

"That's right, I am indeed Zhao Zhao's maternal uncle. Her mother is my older sister, born of the same father and mother, and is the eldest daughter of the Ji family."

Ji Weifeng lives up to his reputation as a sister-obsessed man; when he mentions his sister, his expression softens considerably.

"Since you're his uncle, why did Zhao Zhao seem... not very familiar with you when you first met?"

Ji Weifeng's expression stiffened slightly. He looked down at his niece in his arms, thinking about how the two people in front of him had protected his niece these past two days, and how they had protected her from those human traffickers today.

After hesitating for a moment, she answered truthfully, "Because we haven't seen each other for a while."

It turns out that ever since Ke Zhaozhao's mother passed away from illness four years ago, Ji Weifeng has been quite displeased with Ke Zhaozhao's father, who is nominally her brother-in-law. He felt that it was because he did not take good care of his sister that she died young. At that time, Ji Weifeng even had the idea of ​​fighting with Ke's father for custody of Ke Zhaozhao and taking this orphan of his sister back to the Ji family to raise.

Naturally, Mr. Ke could not agree to this request, which would cause him to lose face, so the two families parted on bad terms.

But considering that the child was still in his hands, Ji Weifeng had no choice but to maintain this lukewarm relationship, no matter how dissatisfied he was with him. The cooperation between the two companies continued in this way until a year ago...

“A year ago, while I was out of town on business, I suddenly received news that that beast was planning to remarry. I rushed back overnight and once again asked him to transfer custody of Zhao Zhao to me so that I could take Zhao Zhao away from the Ke family. But he not only refused, he also took back my right as her uncle to visit her!”

Mr. Ke's thinking is actually quite easy to understand. He had just married a new wife, who brought a child with her. Then, his deceased wife's younger brother came and took the child away. What would people say about him if word got out? Where would his reputation be? The company's reputation would definitely be affected.

Therefore, considering all factors, he would not agree to Ji Weifeng's request, and would even try his best to prevent the two from meeting, in order to prevent Ke Zhaozhao from being taken away.

“I was furious at the time, so I broke off all ties with him and cut off all cooperation between our two families. But he is Zhao Zhao’s biological father and Zhao Zhao’s natural guardian after my sister passed away. No matter how much pressure I put on him, I couldn’t change that.”

Ji Weifeng did consider using some extreme measures at the time, and even thought that if someone just died, the child would be his, but in the end, he was stopped by the old man.

The Ji family is used to abiding by the law and knows that there are some things they can do, but there are some things they must never touch.

Du Anrao: "..." He sounded quite upright, so why did he take so many risks and do so many things that crossed the line for Xi Yanjia later on?
Has she really been bewitched by the female lead's halo and forcibly turned into a love-obsessed person?

After failing to gain custody of Zhao Zhao, Ji Weifeng angrily fled abroad. However, he didn't completely abandon his niece. Given the despicable nature of Ke's father, who had remarried and had a new child, it was clear he wouldn't treat Zhao Zhao, his deceased wife's child, well. Therefore, before leaving the country, Ji Weifeng deliberately spent a large sum of money to bribe one of the Ke family's maids who helped care for the child, ensuring she regularly reported on his niece's situation at the Ke family's home.

Once he discovers that Ke's father and stepmother have mistreated the child in any way, he can return with evidence to fight Ke's father for custody.

"But I never expected that the bitch would take my money and then be bought off by that slut who came into the Ke family later. Not only did she make money from both sides, but she also kept sending me pictures of Zhao Zhao having fun, proving that she was doing very well in the Ke family."

Ji Weifeng gritted his teeth in anger as he spoke. If it weren't for the two children appearing on the show and the child brought in by the stepmother inadvertently revealing the mistreatment his niece had received in the Ke family, he would probably still be in the dark, believing that the child had been living a good life in the Ke family.

If we receive any more news about the child, it will likely be the devastating news that the child has been taken away by human traffickers and is missing.

Thinking of this, Ji Weifeng could no longer control the surging anger in his heart, wishing he could make that scumbag who was unfit to be a father and that vicious stepmother disappear from this world right now.

"It was my carelessness and naivety that caused this child to suffer so much." Ji Weifeng touched his niece's thin face with heartache.

The last time I saw him, he was very lively, and his eyes were full of joyful light. Now, he gets scared when he sees strangers, and his eyes are filled with timid fear and defensiveness.

“This matter absolutely cannot be left like this. Ke Dian, his wife, and that little bastard of his, hehe, none of them will get away.”

Du Hexuan and the other person: "..." This feeling of being ready to turn evil at any moment, to be honest, it really is just like the main villain in a TV series!
"Are you planning to take this opportunity to gain custody of Zhaozhao?"

“That bastard Ke Dian doesn’t deserve to be Zhao Zhao’s father, nor does he deserve to continue raising her. He doesn’t love Zhao Zhao, but there are plenty of other people who do. If he had even a shred of fatherly compassion, he wouldn’t be clinging to Zhao Zhao anymore. Even if he doesn’t, this time, I will absolutely not let Zhao Zhao go back to that cannibalistic home.”

Du Anrao turned and exchanged a glance with Du Hexuan, confirming that the benefactor Zhao Zhao had encountered after the great calamity was indeed his uncle. After thinking for a moment, he stepped forward, covered the child's ears, and told him all about the other party's plans.

"That Mrs. Ke orchestrated this whole thing not only to have Zhao Zhao taken away by human traffickers, but also to make them desperate and use her as a tool to kill Zhao Zhao. Ultimately, it's all because she's pregnant, and she wants Zhao Zhao's child, the child of the first wife, to make room for her child."

"What did you say?" Ji Weifeng's expression changed slightly. Remembering that Du Anrao was still covering the child's ears, not wanting her to hear these sordid things, he quickly suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice, "You... calculated all of this?"

It was clear that Ji Weifeng's claim that he had watched all of their previous programs before coming was not untrue, and he believed most of Du Anrao's words without much struggle.

Du Anrao nodded: "Since she has this idea, she must have also sent someone to secretly keep an eye on those human traffickers. As long as you find this person and find a way to make him tell the truth, it will be a great help to you in fighting for Zhaozhao's custody."
