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

Jinzhi patted her head.

"I know, and I trust your character. Don't worry, I won't make you lose money. I'll handle it."

Zhao Xijin's tears flowed even more fiercely.

Before Jinzhi and Qin Nanjia broke up, they often came to this store. Although Qin Nanjia was the member, Jinzhi paid for everything, so the store manager naturally knew her.

"Ms. Jin, please calm down. This matter is not as simple as you think. You haven't understood what happened yet."

"How could I not know what happened? It's just that there's no CCTV footage, so we can't find out whose responsibility it is?"

Jinzhi sat calmly on the sofa.

"Today I'll teach you how to handle emergencies. Don't panic and resort to any quack solution, or you'll harm the brand, yourself, and your staff."

The shop assistant asked respectfully, "Ms. Jin, what are your thoughts?"

"Does the lack of surveillance in the store mean there isn't any in the mall corridor? The store has floor-to-ceiling windows with no blind spots. Just apply to the mall's security department for surveillance access to the relevant angles, and the truth will be revealed."

The store manager slapped his forehead.

"Miss Jin, you are so clever and wise. I'll go right away."

Qin Nanjia panicked instantly, her face turning pale as she shrieked, "Jinzhi, this is none of your business! Why are you meddling in other people's affairs!"

Jinzhi smiled and said, "It's not meddling in other people's business to help those in need and slap a vicious dog in the face."

"I don't have time to waste here with you. If you know what's good for you, buy your broken earrings and apologize to Zhao Xijin. Otherwise, I'll settle the score with you for what happened at the welcome banquet last time, and I'll personally report it to Uncle Qin."

Qin Nanjia's teeth were practically grinding to powder.

"Impossible, I would never apologize to a poor laborer..."

Jinzhi admired her new light pink manicure and said casually, "I'll give you five seconds to make a decision."

"five."

"Four."

"three."

"..."

Qin Nanjia stiffened her neck and said in a low voice, "It's my fault, okay? I broke the earring, I'll buy a new one!"

"Zhao Xijin, I'm sorry!"

"Is it okay now?"

"No, you must compensate her for lost wages and emotional distress, three times the amount."

An apology is a half-hearted and ineffective way; money is nowhere near as valuable.

Jinzhi asked Zhao Xijin, "Are you satisfied with this solution?"

Zhao Xijin nodded like a chick pecking at rice, looking at Jinzhi with admiration in his eyes.

"Sister Zhizhi, you're amazing."

Jinzhi got up, took off her name tag from around her neck, and threw it to the store manager.

"There's no need for you to stay in this kind of store. I'll have the mall manager find you a better one tomorrow."

"What's the hourly wage?"

Zhao Xijin: "Fifty."

Jinzhi did the math and said, "OK, consider it two hours of lost work, one hundred, plus five thousand for emotional distress."

She had Zhao Xijin open the QR code for receiving payments and handed it to Qin Nanjia, saying, "I'll give you a discount and make it 20,000."

Qin Nanjia's face was darker than the bottom of a pot, and she gritted her teeth: "Jinzhi, why don't you just rob someone?!"

Jinzhi: "Robbing money is illegal, but beating a dog is not."

Qin Nanjia was so angry she almost fainted on the spot. Overwhelmed by Jinzhi's aura, she had no choice but to pay up the money, scrape together more to buy earrings, and leave in a huff.

"It's getting late, I'm in a hurry to get home for dinner, you should go too. In the future, avoid her if you see her, or you might get bitten."

Zhao Xijin chattered behind her.

"Sister Zhizhi, you really managed to find the surveillance footage? Why don't you pull it out and expose her?"

"I'm not sure either. I might be able to get a picture, or I might not. I was just trying to fool her."

Zhao Xijin admired her immensely.

"Sister Zhizhi, you're so smart! How can there be such a wise and beautiful woman like you in the world? You're absolutely amazing!"

He even said he would treat her to a meal.

He was refused by Jinzhi and drove away in his carriage.

We arrived back at the Jin family home just in time for dinner.

After dinner, Jinzhi took out the cake she had bought in advance to please her parents.

Wen Manchun, unusually, didn't taste it, keeping a stern face.

Jinzhi, eyes downcast and seemingly lost in thought, stood up, ready to run away: "Mom, I'm so tired..."

Wen Manchun said sternly, "Jinzhi, I called you back today for more than just a meal. Things happened suddenly, and I've been busy dealing with the Zhou family these past two days, so I forgot to deal with you."

"You made a big mistake by getting pregnant out of wedlock. Mistakes must be punished, otherwise you won't learn your lesson."

Jin Minghan unusually formed a united front with Wen Manchun.

"Given that corporal punishment is not allowed, your mother and I have decided to punish you by making you copy the family rules ten times."

The golden branch struck like thunder.

Ten times?!

She copied it three times in high school, each time taking a whole day and night, until her fingers ached so much they didn't feel like her own anymore.

You can't copy it ten times in three days and three nights, and your fingers can't develop calluses.

Where can you lure someone back and then kill them?

Jinzhi smiled humbly: "Could we change the punishment? I'm pregnant and can't stay up all night."

Wen Manchun: "Okay, you'll be cleaning the toilets in the house for the next month."

Jinzhi is a germaphobe; making her clean the toilet is no different from making her die.

She bullied the weak and feared the strong, and tried to kneel down again, but Wen Manchun grabbed her arm first.

"Playing the victim won't work, Jinzhi. What you did this time was really too much. You don't need to stay up all night. Just hand it over to me within two weeks."

Ready to leave.

Jinzhi was truly unwilling to give up and blurted out, "Where's Ye Yu? Why haven't I seen him tonight? Ye Yu has to copy too! I can't be the only one copying!"

In the original storyline, Ye Yu knelt in the ancestral hall with her, and they both received slaps.

Wen Manchun turned to look at her.

"You're the one who made the mistake. What does it have to do with your brother? He was sent on a business trip to the branch office. If anyone's going to copy something, it'll be Zhou Yinche and you copying it together."

Jinzhi came to her senses, but could not shed a tear.

Yes, she framed Zhou Yinche for the child's miscarriage.

"Okay, I'll copy it."

Zhou Yinche is so righteous, we can't drag him down with us anymore.

That night, Jinzhi stayed up late copying, but the more she copied, the less comfortable she felt, and her hands and eyes ached.

I found Ye Yu's phone number at 1 a.m. and called him.

He spouted nonsense: "Ye Yu, when are you coming home! Mom wants you to copy the family rules!"

Ye Yu was reading documents. He joined the company late and had to learn many things overnight so he wouldn't fall behind.

I didn't expect to receive a call from Jinzhi so late.

"Still not asleep? Why am I being made to copy the family rules?"

Jinzhi stammered, "...Because you didn't wear any clothes in front of me after you finished working out, which violated male virtues and offended my eyes, I told Mom about you. Mom said you'll be punished by copying the family rules."

Ye Yu chuckled softly, "Jinzhi, were you punished by Mom and want me to copy for you?"

"How many times were you punished?"

"You know it, so be it. Who told you to say it? I'm so embarrassed!"

"Since you asked, you must want to help me copy it. I knew you were the best person in the universe."

"I've seen your handwriting, and it's somewhat similar to mine. You have a strong learning ability, so you'll definitely be able to imitate my handwriting. I'll punish you by making you copy it ten times, and I'll give you five copies so you can practice your handwriting."

He is the child's biological father, and they will split the money 50/50.

I'll give him half, and he'll give me half.

Ye Yu's voice was calm and easy to talk to. "I can help you copy it, but—"

Jinzhi's voice rose, "But what?"

"On the condition that the child in your belly is mine."

His gentle voice carried a hint of understated sarcasm.

"You're not carrying my child, why should I help you copy it?"

"I don't have a penchant for taking over other people's burdens."

"What if I said the child really is yours?"
