Zhou Yinche thought to himself, "I'm doomed."

No matter what, he had to keep Jinzhi's secret.

Blinking and flashing hazard lights.

"What business is it of yours whose child she's carrying? It's not yours anyway."

"You don't need to apologize to me, because I've actually benefited from this incident by getting shares in the family business. Sooner or later, I'll kill that bastard Xie Zihui."

He turned to leave.

Ye Yu grabbed his arm.

"Zhou Yinche, the child in her belly isn't important to you, but it's very important to me. You must know whose child it is."

"I have no idea!"

Zhou Yinche patted his hand.

Not only did he not break the seal, but his grip tightened even more.

Remembering that Jinzhi said he had boxed for a while, she admitted, "Jinzhi said it was her ex-boyfriend's."

Ye Yu's face was contorted with rage.

"She has an ex-boyfriend? What's his name?"

Besides him and Zhou Yinche, has Jinzhi been involved with other men?

Zhou Yinche patted the back of his hand.

"I'll tell you if you let go."

Ye Yu suppressed his anger and let go.

Zhou Yinche hid in the room, only peeking out his head.

"Jinzhi said her ex-boyfriend died, but I don't go to the same school as her, how would I know?"

"Do you know where she is?"

"How would I, a patient, know where she, a person with two arms and two legs, went to play? Anyway, she's not here with me."

Close and lock the door quickly.

My ex-boyfriend is dead?

Ye Yu laughed in exasperation.

He didn't believe a single word of it.

Jinzhi's roommate said she wasn't in a relationship.

She didn't date him either.

He stood there for a while.

I dragged my aching body upstairs.

The most urgent task is to find Jinzhi.

Ye Yu returned to his ward and lay on the bed, recalling Jin Zhi's actions during this period.

She had always wanted to acknowledge him as her brother, but resisted getting involved in any unusual relationship with him.

She always hid from him.

If the child isn't Zhou Yinche's... there's a 60% chance it is his.

If it was his, Jinzhi concealed the true time of her pregnancy.

Ye Yu couldn't describe his feelings; he only knew that Jinzhi was a complete liar.

Because of her, his mood has been fluctuating wildly lately, and he hates this feeling of being out of control.

But if it really is his...

Ye Yu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Calm your agitated emotions.

He waited until Wen Manchun and Jin Minghan got off work and came to the hospital to see him.

"I couldn't get in touch with Jinzhi."

Wen Manchun: "What do you want with her? She's probably out having fun."

Jin Minghan also said, "It seems that the engagement can't be arranged for the time being. If she's not home, she's probably out having fun. You should take good care of yourself..."

Before he could finish speaking, the ward door was flung open with a loud bang.

The visitor was Zhou Yichang, his face ashen.

Chao Wenmanchun reached out his hand.

"Give me back my Zhou family's ancestral bracelet, and this marriage is off! Not even a little bit!"

Wen Manchun looked displeased.

"What's wrong with you? It's just that Xiao Yu accidentally bumped into Yin Che. Xiao Yu is also a victim. It's the Xie family's son who caused this mess. Do you think my daughter is eager to marry into your family?"

"You think it's just because of that?"

Zhou Yichang sneered.

"I'm not that petty, much less generous enough to raise someone else's child!"

The spring fire has spread.

"What do you mean?! A man half-buried in the ground slandering a girl, have you no shame?!"

As the situation was about to escalate, the relatively rational Jin Minghan shielded Wen Manchun behind him.

"Old Zhou, what do you mean? Do you even know what you're saying?!"

Zhou Yichang's clear voice was filled with anger.

"Of course I know what I'm saying. What I mean is that your daughter isn't carrying our Zhou family's child! My Xiao Che was forced into this situation! This marriage is off..."

Zhou Yinche arrived late, leaning on a cane.

"It's not what my dad said. I wasn't forced. I did it voluntarily. Uncle Jin and Aunt Jin, Zhizhi doesn't want to marry me now. Let's cancel the wedding."

Wen Manchun: "What do you mean? You know Jinzhi's child isn't yours? It really isn't yours?"

Zhou Yinche nodded twice.

He grabbed his father, who was about to attack someone.

"Uncle Jin, Aunt Jin, Jinzhi has her own reasons. We agreed to get married before, but after thinking about it, she still didn't want to be a burden to me and said she wouldn't get married and the engagement should be canceled."

He pulled Zhou Yichang out the door, lowering his voice.

"We're all decent people, can't you show some respect for both families?"

"We're the victims! I'm giving them face, but who's giving me face?!"

"I volunteered, I'm not a victim, stop talking and get out of here!"

"..."

The ward door closed again.

Jin Minghan clutched his chest and wailed, "How did it turn out like this again..."

"My God, can't we have a few days of peace at home?"

Wen Manchun called Jinzhi with a sullen face.

I called three times but no one answered. Just like Ye Yu did that afternoon, I had a bad feeling.

I called Aunt Qiu at home to ask.

"Is Jinzhi home? If she is, tell her to come to the hospital immediately."

Aunt Qiu could tell she was in a bad mood, which most likely meant that the young lady had caused trouble again.

But—the young lady has already run away.

"Madam, Miss is not home. She left this afternoon and asked me to leave a note for you. Shall I deliver it to her now?"

"Gone?" Wen Manchun raised her voice.

"Where did they run off to?!"

"I don't know either. Miss only said that when you get home tonight or ask her, she'll ask me to give you the note."

They paced back and forth in the same spot, their bodies brimming with the warmth of spring.

"I'll have the driver bring you here right away."

The phone hangs up.

Wen Manchun smashed the vase beside her.

"I knew your daughter was itching to get into trouble all the time. Look what happened, she's left us with a complete mess!"

"What a misfortune for our family!"

Jin Minghan was also angry, but he was used to it.

Jinzhi has caused them countless troubles since they were young.

He glanced out the window and whispered, "It's completely dark, almost eight o'clock. Where could a pregnant woman like her go?"

Wen Manchun was even angrier.

"She's already made a mess of things, and now she's cut off all contact and run away. If anything else happens, I'll make her pay. This time, I won't let her off easily!"

The couple had come up with 108 ways to punish Jinzhi.

Upon seeing the note left by Jinzhi, his arrogance diminished by half.

—Mom and Dad, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble over the years. I've been disobedient and unfilial. The child isn't Zhou Yinche's. The father of the child is dead. Please call off the engagement and just pretend you don't have this shameful daughter who got pregnant out of wedlock.

Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself and live a good life elsewhere. Without me, this troublemaker, the Jin family will definitely live a peaceful and smooth life from now on.

Aunt Qiu said, "The young lady gave me the note and left in a hurry without saying anything."

With red eyes, Wen Manchun turned her back and cursed Jinzhi: "What if something happens to someone pregnant... What an unfilial daughter! I really don't know why I raised her all these years; I might as well have raised a dog!"

Jin Minghan was also in a bad mood, so he put his arm around his wife's shoulder.

"...Did we say something too harsh before? Zhizhi was really afraid of ruining the family's reputation, so she chose to leave because she had no other choice. But what is her more important than the reputation?"

Wen Manchun said viciously, "She's incredibly stupid! I, Wen Manchun, don't have a daughter as stupid as her!"

Having already anticipated that Jinzhi might have run away, Ye Yu took the note and read it carefully.

Ask the couple.

Aren't you curious about whose child she's carrying?
