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

The banquet began at 6 p.m.

A magnificent banquet hall.

Mr. and Mrs. Jin, dressed in formal attire, led Ye Yu, who was also dressed in a suit and tie, onto the stage to formally announce Ye Yu's identity.

"This is Ye Yu, the son of the Jin family who just returned. He will be the heir of the Jin family in the future. He is currently studying computer science at Yunnan University. Please take good care of him, my old friends, and introduce him and Jin Zhi to more friends..."

The audience erupted in applause.

After Wen Manchun finished his speech, he, along with Ye Yu and Jin Zhi, toasted the guests and introduced them to everyone.

Jin Zhi knew everyone Ye Yu introduced him to, but after exchanging pleasantries with them for half an hour, she got tired and found an opportunity to slip away, taking Zhao Xijin to eat and drink in a secluded corner.

As Zhao Xijin ate the Australian king crab that he usually couldn't bear to eat, he asked her, "Sister Zhizhi, are you sad that Ye Yu is back?"

The truth that Ye Yu is the Jin family's biological son was told to the Jin family elders by Jin Zhi, my mother said.

If she were Sister Zhizhi, she definitely wouldn't have said it on her own initiative.

Sister Zhizhi has too high a moral standard.

A typical example of someone who is stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside.

Jinzhi sat on the soft chair, resting her chin on her hand, playing with the diamond sequins on her champagne-colored fishtail dress.

"Sometimes, but my parents treat me just as well as before. Life hasn't changed much, so I'm still very happy. Ye Yu suffered so much for me in the past..."

"Yeah, the real young master suffers all the hardship, while the fake heiress just sits around enjoying herself. I thought she was the real deal, but it turns out she's a fake. If I were her, I wouldn't attend tonight at all. It's so embarrassing."

Zhao Xijin put down the large lobster he was holding and stood protectively in front of Jinzhi. "Qin Nanjia, what nonsense are you spouting? What are you doing, you illegitimate daughter, barking like a dog?"

Qin Nanjia's face paled for a moment.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Since when has a servant's daughter been allowed to act so arrogantly at the master's banquet? Only a dog would bark like that."

Jinzhi stood up and pulled Zhao Xijin behind her. "Did you just clean the toilet with your mouth? It stinks. I'm not a veterinarian, don't act like this in front of me. Get away."

As they were about to leave with Zhao Xijin, a man and a woman walking towards them blocked their way.

Jinzhi had a bit of a headache.

The man was the eldest son of the Xie family, who had been hit on the head by her at a banquet; the woman was a distant niece of the Xie family, who had been publicly scolded by her for being tasteless.

Jinzhi had a premonition that retribution would come tonight.

Xie Zihui gloated, "Oh, who do we have here? It's our famous fake heiress, Miss Jinzhi, from Yuncheng. Where is this young lady headed?"

"Could it be that Uncle Jin and Aunt Jin were out socializing with their son, and you're upset and want to hide away and cry?"

Xie Yuanyuan laughed: "Cousin, don't talk nonsense. She's still a member of the Jin family, after all. Didn't you hear Aunt Jin just ask someone to take good care of her?"

Xie Zihui sneered: "You're still young and don't understand polite language. Aunt Jin asked the elders to pay attention to Ye Yu so that she could introduce him to her network of connections. She asked them to pay attention to our fake heiress so that they could find a suitable buyer to marry her off as soon as possible and exchange that for resources."

Jinzhi was furious and wanted to smash his head in again, but considering that this was Ye Yu's welcome banquet, she held back and didn't want to cause trouble.

"If you have comprehension problems, go back to your nine years of compulsory education. These people just spew nonsense the moment they open their mouths; did they forget to wipe their mouths after using the toilet?"

It has extremely strong attack power.

Xie Yuanyuan, being young, was easily vulnerable. Pointing at Jinzhi, she said, "Who do you think you are now? Do you think Uncle Jin and Aunt Jin will still protect you like before? Even if we beat you today, they won't blame us. You're just a stray dog!"

She spilled red wine on Jinzhi's skirt.

She feigned surprise, covering her mouth and exclaiming.

"I'm so sorry, Sister Jin, I didn't hold it properly. You don't mind, do you?"

The custom-made dress was stained with large stains and was dripping wet.

Jinzhi was on the verge of a volcanic eruption, suppressing her anger and smiling.

"I'm not angry. This dress cost 389,000 yuan, the shoes cost 68,000 yuan, plus compensation for emotional distress, I'll give you a discount, 500,000 yuan. Credit card or Alipay?"

Xie Zihui stepped forward.

"Jinzhi, are you robbing me?"

"You gave me the chance to rob you first."

Amidst the bickering and arguing, no one noticed that Qin Nanjia had splashed wine onto the pristine floor behind Jin Zhi.

Xie Zihui: "Jinzhi, who do you think you are? If you beg me, I might reluctantly take you in, as long as you stay at home and be a good vase, and don't worry about me having affairs outside."

"You've been going to too many bars, haven't you? You're like a toad playing with a frog, ugly as you are, trying to be all that. Go back and take a piss and look in the mirror, do you even have a face?! I wouldn't consider you even if every man in the world died, get lost!"

Xie Zihui's defenses were completely breached, and he pushed Jinzhi.

Jinzhi slipped and fell, her face turning pale.

Zhao Xijin tried to grab her arm but failed.

Jinzhi closed her eyes, thinking she was doomed, but before her body could make intimate contact with the ground, someone grabbed her waist.

Ye Yu, who had appeared out of nowhere, quickly caught her in his arms and asked with a frown, "Are you alright?"

Before her was his magnified handsome face and his caring voice. For the first time, Jinzhi felt he was so useful, yet also a little aggrieved, and she sobbed:

"I've got something serious to tell you! I didn't even smash a bottle over their heads to ensure your welcome banquet went smoothly, and they went too far, splashing water on my skirt and even pushing me! I've never been treated like this before!"

"I should have known better than to attend the banquet!"

Her dress was a mess, still dripping wet. Ye Yu's brows were furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly. He took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

Fire at the three people opposite.

"I will tell the elders of all three parties the truth about what happened tonight, and no one will escape responsibility."

He then handed Jinzhi a wine bottle.

"If anyone bullies you, smash them up. I'll cover for you, I won't hold back."

Jinzhi paused her feigned crying for a moment, "Really?"

Ye Yu tucked the strands of hair from her cheek behind her ear.

"Seriously, I'd be a dog if I were lying."

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, he grabbed her hand and smashed it against Xie Zihui's head.

"Men who lay a hand on women are the most tasteless, spineless, and despicable bastards!"

Xie Zihui fell to the ground, exclaiming, "...My head!"

He then took her hand, grabbed a glass of red wine, and splashed it onto Xie Yuanyuan's skirt.

Xie Yuanyuan broke down: "Ah! My skirt!"

Jinzhi was delighted.

The two were in a terrible state, but dared not curse Ye Yu, and instead cried out for their elders to intervene.

Ye Yu ignored them, picked up Jinzhi in his arms, and glared at Qin Nanjia before leaving.

"Your score will be settled another day."

Ye Yu carried Jinzhi all the way to the small living room where guests could change clothes.

"Go change into a dress."

Jinzhi changed into her dress and came out but didn't see Ye Yu. She walked a few steps and found him on the terrace.

He was tall and slender, with a clean and refined profile.

She awkwardly lifted her skirt and walked over.

"Ye Yu, why have you been so nice to me lately? Just now...aren't you afraid Mom and Dad will be upset?"

As Ye Yu turned around, a muffled sound pierced the night, and colorful fireworks unfolded layer by layer, scattering light in all directions, illuminating the entire sky and her curious, delicate face.

The fireworks show has begun.

Ye Yu held his breath, raised his hand to stroke her cheek, and looked at her with a helpless expression in his eyes that were shimmering with a faint light.

"Jinzhi, are you an idiot? After all this time, can't you see that I like you?"
