Hiding her pregnant belly! The wicked ex-wife of the true young master has awakened.

Ye Yu hurriedly said, "I'll compensate you."

Jinzhi didn't answer, but instead demanded, "Carry me on your back."

Ye Yu squatted down in front of her again.

Jinzhi climbed up and carefully wrapped her arms around his neck. "Does your back hurt?"

Ye Yu carefully held her calves and carried her steadily on his back along the long path.

"It doesn't hurt."

A gentle breeze dispelled the summer night's heat, and Jinzhi softly pressed against his back, her voice still trembling.

"You don't have to pay for my bag, I have many more, but you have to promise me that you'll buy me ten more when you have money in the future."

Her warm, soft body was against his back, and Ye Yu felt a little uncomfortable, so he gently lifted her up.

Do you believe I'll be very rich in the future?

Jinzhi rubbed her head against his shoulder and secretly wiped her tears on his body.

"I believe that with your intelligence, competence, and willingness to work hard, you will definitely become incredibly wealthy in the future. When that time comes, remember to compensate me with ten bags, five of which must be rare crocodile skin. I haven't decided on the others yet, so don't back out."

Ye Yu's eyes flickered, but he pretended not to notice her little actions. He solemnly promised, "I won't go back on my word. I will work hard to earn money and buy you bags in the future."

The two chatted casually.

"Ye Yu, am I heavy?"

"Not heavy."

"But you look a little tired."

"From a fight."

"What kind of part-time job do you do at the boxing gym?"

"Sparring partner".

Are you tired?

"fine."

"You must be very tired from lying."

"I'm not lying to you..."

As they walked out of the intersection, the two bumped into Cheng Zihao, who was carrying yogurt and was covered in sweat.

Cheng Zihao was furious when he saw Jinzhi's bleeding leg and went up to hit Ye Yu.

"Ye Yu, what the hell did you do to Jinzhi! Hitting a woman, have you no shame? You've disgraced all men, you coward!"

Jinzhi shouted, "It wasn't him, it was a bunch of thugs!"

He retorted to Cheng Zihao, "I asked you to buy me some yogurt and you fell into a latrine! Why didn't you wait until I died to collect my body?"

Cheng Zihao said aggrievedly, "The nearby supermarket doesn't have chocolate-flavored yogurt. I went all the way there and sent you a message, but you didn't reply."

Jinzhi responded with an "Oh," and said, "Then I was wrong. I was too harsh and sarcastic. I take back what I said."

Cheng Zihao: "You guys stay here and don't move, I'm going to get the car."

Five minutes later, Cheng Zihao drove his car from the underground parking lot.

The three got into the car, and Jinzhi explained the whole story, then asked Ye Yu, "What exactly is your relationship with those people?"

Ye Yu didn't hide anything: "He used to harass my family, and when they found out, they made him leave with nothing. He holds a grudge."

Jinzhi asked tentatively in a low voice, "Is it your mother?"

Ye Yu hummed in agreement.

Jinzhi said angrily, "They should be beaten to death!"

Cheng Zihao retorted, "Why didn't you call the police? A bunch of scumbags!"

Jinzhi: "If an examination is conducted, Ye Yu will probably have to go in as well."

He beat people up too fiercely.

Cheng Zihao: "..."

Jinzhi tried a few times, then mustered her courage and asked, "How is your mother?"

"That's fine."

Ye Yu seemed unwilling to say more.

He said to Cheng Zihao, "Drive faster."

Cheng Zihao: "I know, you don't need to explain."

About five minutes later.

Jinzhi's phone rang; it was her father calling.

"Honey, it's nine o'clock, aren't you home yet?"

She forgot that she had promised her parents she would come home tonight.

I originally planned to secretly watch Ye Yu's part-time job and then go home.

"On the way, will be there in ten minutes."

"Okay, Mom and Dad will wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Jinzhi said to Cheng Zihao, "Don't go to the hospital. Take me home, and then you two drive home."

Ye Yu hesitated before speaking, and Jin Zhi said, "I have a doctor in my family. Going to the hospital means there are a lot of bacteria, so it may only look serious; there aren't many wounds."

Ye Yu wanted to say something, but considering that she had everything at home, he didn't say anything in the end. He insisted that Cheng Zihao drop him off at an intersection near his home.

Before getting off the bus, Jinzhi was still fixated on that question, "Ye Yu, you don't hate me anymore, do you?"

Ye Yu didn't answer, "Just focus on recovering."

Cheng Zihao drove the car into the Jin family's courtyard and wanted to help Jinzhi out of the car, but he was afraid that it would be inappropriate if her parents saw him, so he asked a servant to pass on the message.

When Jin's parents heard that their daughter was injured, they rushed out and saw that Jinzhi's legs were covered in blood, and their faces turned completely pale.

"Darling, what happened? How did you get it like this!"

Wen Manchun said anxiously, "Baby, are you trying to scare your mother to death?"

Seeing that they were about to get angry, Jinzhi quickly explained, "Mom and Dad, it's just a minor injury, my leg isn't broken, don't worry. It's just that the bleeding hasn't been treated yet, which is why it looks a bit serious..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mr. Jin slumped to the side and fainted in Mrs. Jin's arms.

Despite the danger, Mrs. Jin remained calm and instructed the servants to help Mr. Jin into the house. With tears in her eyes, she carried Jinzhi out of the car.

Jin's mother works out every week, and at 1.7 meters tall, carrying Jinzhi, who weighs 100 pounds, is no problem at all.

Before going inside, Jinzhi asked Cheng Zihao to drive her home.

Jin's mother carried Jinzhi all the way to her room on the third floor and immediately called all the doctors in the family for a consultation.

He paced back and forth in the room, his face filled with sorrow.

Jinzhi forced a smile, "Mommy, I just accidentally got splashed by a shard of a beer bottle. It's really nothing, just superficial cuts. It only looks so serious because I didn't have time to wipe the blood off."

Wen Manchun, who had been holding back for a long time, finally exploded.

"Jinzhi, have you completely forgotten what happened when you were eighteen?!"

She covered her face, her voice choked with emotion.

"You can forget, but your mother can't, your father can't forget, and they'll never forget!"

Jinzhi's childhood was not as happy as her adulthood. At that time, her father had not yet become a hands-off boss and was running the company with her mother, leaving early and returning late.

Jinzhi often stayed at home alone with the nanny, and was sent to her maternal grandmother's house in the countryside to be cared for during winter and summer vacations.

During her high school years, her mother, a strong woman from an ordinary family who had fought her way up through the college entrance examination, was even more demanding of her. She enrolled her in countless extracurricular classes and tutoring programs, and only allowed her to be number one, whether in academics or art competitions.

In her senior year of high school, fueled by a belated rebellious adolescence, Jinzhi exploded, going against Wen Manchun in everything.

Skipping exams, skipping classes, racing cars, going to bars...

The more rebellious she became, the stronger Wen Manchun's desire to control her became. At her most troublesome, he locked her at home for one-on-one private tutoring.

Three months before the college entrance examination, Jinzhi couldn't take it anymore. She tied a bed sheet into a rope and jumped off the third floor to go racing with her friends for thrills.

The accident happened at that moment.

Jinzhi was in a car accident and suffered severe leg injuries, with a high probability of becoming disabled. She can only recover if she goes abroad.

The time Jinzhi spent in the ICU was the most difficult time of Wen Manchun's life. She kept reflecting, blaming herself, and feeling extremely regretful.

Ultimately, it was decided to suspend Jinzhi's work at the group with pay, allow her to give up the college entrance examination, and take her abroad for surgery to repair her condition.

After the successful surgery, Jinzhi did one thing.

She used her New Year's money to sponsor thirty high school students from impoverished families in China, saying that since she couldn't go to university herself, they should go in her place in the future.

Going abroad not only helped heal physical wounds, but more importantly, it helped heal the mind. During the nine months of treatment abroad, Wen Manchun took care of Jinzhi the whole time, without relying on anyone else.

The relationship between the mother and daughter was repaired.

From then on, Wen Manchun never forced Jinzhi to do things she didn't like. As long as her daughter was healthy, happy, and joyful, she was content. This indirectly fostered Jinzhi's overly spoiled personality.

Despite the passage of many years, Wen Manchun has always kept a close eye on Jinzhi's legs, fearing that something might happen. Whenever Jinzhi complains of leg pain, he calls a doctor to come and examine her.

Not to mention seeing her legs covered in blood tonight.

Not to mention Jin Minghan, she also wanted to faint on the spot.

Jinzhi said softly, "Mom, it really doesn't hurt. I'm really fine. Don't worry. Look, the blood will be wiped away. It's just a few small wounds."

So many years have passed, she thought they wouldn't be so stressed anymore.

Wen Manchun held her in her arms, "Zhizhi, you are my only daughter. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to go on living."

Jinzhi held her hand, her clear eyes like stars, yet she felt wicked.

"Mom, if I weren't your daughter, would you still treat me this well?"

Wen Manchun kissed the top of her head.

"Don't talk nonsense. You came out of your mother's belly, so you're my daughter. Your father and I will treat you well for the rest of our lives. You can't be so reckless in the future, and you can't hurt yourself. We'll be scared to death..."

Jinzhi didn't hear what was said next.

My mind is filled with the thought, "It's a pity I'm really not your daughter."

Ye Yu is the one.

But he was in a worse situation than I was.

She is selfish and wicked.

But I also want to enjoy this stolen warmth for a few more days.

-

In the Ye family home, moonlight streamed into the narrow room, casting shadows on the wooden table covered with mottled carvings.

After taking a shower, Ye Yu applied ointment to his wounds.

I gazed quietly at the black watch inside the glass case.

A moment later, he opened the locked drawer, took out a long-forgotten document bag from the deepest part, and took out a red certificate.

Upon opening the cover, which gleamed with a subtle sheen, one's eyes were greeted by the four large characters: "Certificate of Funding."

When he was in high school, Qian Yong, who lived nearby, kept harassing his widowed mother despite his family situation. He told Qian Yong's wife about it.

Qian Yong was left penniless and later imprisoned for theft.

During her senior year of high school, her mother was harassed again by Qian Yong after his release from prison. Her small street stall business ran into trouble, and she incurred a lot of debt due to customer claims.

He couldn't continue his high school studies and took a six-month break to work.

Every day, I wake up to work, doing manual labor, and when I get off work, I'm so tired that I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. I've almost never seen the sun during the day.

Those were the darkest days of his life.

When the darkness reached its deepest point, a beam of light shone in.

His high school homeroom teacher called him and said that someone could sponsor him to continue his senior year of high school, covering all expenses and providing a large family allowance.

And so, Ye Yu repeated his senior year of high school.

After being admitted to university, he made inquiries about the sponsors, and it took him a long time to finally find out who they were.

A girl whose name is so elegant and refined.

Her name is Jinzhi.

Golden Branch, with its golden branches and jade leaves, is indeed worthy of her.

Even more coincidentally, they went to the same school.

He had been watching her intently for a long time, but dared not approach her.

So even though Jinzhi humiliated him, he never thought of hating her or taking revenge on her.

But now, Jinzhi has changed.

She's gotten better; she's been especially kind to him.

The night breeze blew in through the window, lifting the thick stack of medical bills on the table and bringing Ye Yu to his senses for a moment.

His mother's medical bills were reality, and poverty was the original sin, pushing him backward, afraid to get too close, let alone have any hope.

He put away the glittering grant certificate and suppressed his base and despicable emotions.

She is the moon in the sky, he is the mud on the ground.

They don't deserve it at all.
