Chapter 47

Ji Peng nodded. Thinking of the shares Mrs. Ji held, his gaze darkened.

Once he got those shares and firmly established himself in the Ji Family, the first thing he would do was drive that woman out of the Ji Family and let Qiu Baizhen take Mrs. Ji's place. Then he would no longer be an illegitimate son who had to stay hidden.

—Ji Peng only knew that Qiu Baizhen was his biological mother. To avoid exposing herself, Qiu Baizhen had not even told Ji Peng that his biological father was someone else.

Mrs. Ji maxed out three of her husband's credit cards and ordered a pile of bags before her mood finally brightened completely. It was then that the paparazzo she had hired sent her Ji Peng's medical examination report.

Medical examination reports for wealthy families were extremely comprehensive, spanning more than twenty thick pages. Mrs. Ji flipped to the reproductive examination section, where the results read: congenital testicular underdevelopment, azoospermia.

When Mrs. Ji saw the results, she felt as though the dust had finally settled. Perhaps because she had been mentally prepared, she did not feel much grief now.

Chu Xiyue was also viewing Ji Peng's examination results through the system's shared perspective.

The system said, [The private investigator Mrs. Ji hired is indeed quite capable. Ji Peng bribed the doctor to delete the records of these examination reports, yet he still managed to find the original paper copy.]

[But Mrs. Ji has been looking for so long and still seems to have missed the key point. Didn't she notice? Ji Peng's blood type is different from hers!] The system was frantic, practically wishing it could appear before Mrs. Ji and tell her.

Chu Xiyue anxiously rubbed her hands together and nodded in agreement. "Exactly! How could she miss something this important?"

However, Mrs. Ji clearly did not have the patience to read through the reports page by page. After seeing that result, she closed the medical file.

Chu Xiyue: ...

She really could not tolerate this personality of hers anymore! For every extra second that scumbag got to enjoy wealth and glory, her merit points would drop by one!

The Chu Family and the Ji Family were not far apart, only a five-minute walk away. When Chu Xiyue entered the Ji residence, Mrs. Ji was sitting in the living room eating pastries, her expression somewhat unpleasant.

When she saw Chu Xiyue walk in, she frowned even more. "What are you doing at my house?"

As though she had not seen Mrs. Ji's sour expression, Chu Xiyue said, "Good afternoon, Aunt Ji. I came to see Sister Mo."

Mrs. Ji said stiffly, "She isn't home."

"Oh." Chu Xiyue was not disappointed. She had not come for Mo Xiang in the first place; Mo Xiang was merely her excuse. "Then I'll come again tomorrow."

She walked out, but after only two steps, she turned back to look at Mrs. Ji, seeming hesitant.

"What else is it?" Mrs. Ji was already in a foul mood.

"Aunt Ji," Chu Xiyue thought for a moment before asking with feigned curiosity, "are you and Qiu Baizhen related?"

Mrs. Ji: ?

"What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight?" How could she possibly be related to Qiu Baizhen?

"Really?" Chu Xiyue scratched her head, looking puzzled. "Then why does Brother Ji look so much like Qiu Baizhen?"

"What?" Mrs. Ji froze.

"Brother Ji and Qiu Baizhen look quite alike. Haven't you noticed, Aunt Ji? I thought you and Qiu Baizhen were relatives, which was why Brother Ji resembled her."

Chu Xiyue glanced at the document pouch containing Ji Peng's medical records beside Mrs. Ji. "If I hadn't known in advance that Brother Ji wasn't your child, Aunt Ji, I would have thought he was Qiu Baizhen's son."

"Does Brother Ji really have nothing to do with Qiu Baizhen?"

At some point, Chu Xiyue had left, but her words continued echoing in Mrs. Ji's mind.

Did Ji Peng look like Qiu Baizhen?

As if possessed, she dug out the family photo albums and flipped through photos of Ji Peng from childhood to adulthood, examining them one by one.

She had never noticed before, but Ji Peng did not seem to resemble her at all as he grew up.

Her hair was naturally slightly curly, but Ji Peng's was straight. She had almond-shaped eyes, while Ji Peng's eyes were somewhat phoenix-shaped. Her nose bridge was rather low, while Ji Peng had a high nose bridge...

Mrs. Ji scrutinized the photos bit by bit, especially those of Ji Peng in his teens. At that age, Ji Peng had not yet begun developing, and the masculine features of his face were not obvious. She compared those photos with Qiu Baizhen's movie posters from her twenties.

She had not noticed it before, but looking again now, she realized the people in the two photographs were fifty to sixty percent alike!

The resemblance between the two photos intertwined in her mind with the harmonious image she had seen of Ji Peng, Ji Guowei, and Qiu Baizhen looking like a family of three.

Mrs. Ji did not dare think about what this meant.

"Mom, I'm back." Mo Xiang walked into the living room and called out when she saw Mrs. Ji on the sofa, but Mrs. Ji did not respond for a long time.

Finding it strange, she walked over and saw two photographs on the coffee table. One of them looked somewhat familiar.

Mrs. Ji had treated her much more kindly lately, so Mo Xiang gathered her courage and spoke. "Isn't this a photo of Ji Peng? Is the photo beside it one of you, Mom? You two looked so alike when you were young. Anyone could tell at a glance that you were mother and son."

Thud! The item in Mrs. Ji's hand fell to the floor. She looked at Mo Xiang, her voice trembling slightly. "What did you say? Say that again!"

Mo Xiang nervously swallowed and repeated what she had just said.

Looking at Mrs. Ji's pale face, she asked, "Aren't these two photos of you and Ji Peng, Mom?"

"Mom! What's wrong, Mom?!" As soon as Mo Xiang finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Ji's body topple straight down.

Mo Xiang caught Mrs. Ji and called 120.

Mrs. Ji regained consciousness in the ambulance. After arriving at the hospital, the doctor examined her and found that aside from slightly high blood pressure, there was nothing else wrong.
