Chapter 400: Chapter 400: He’s Proud to Be Worth a Million
Ji Hanyu tapped Bai Haoxue’s nose, "You’re too optimistic. People from the Ji Family can’t have freedom.
If you want freedom, you have to fight for it yourself!
Only by making yourself strong!"
Little Beiting and Ji Yiyi can be so carefree because Ji Hanyu is protecting them.
Otherwise, neither Ji Yiyi nor Little Beiting could escape the constraints of the Ji Family.
"Then tell me about it," Bai Haoxue said, "I don’t know anything about you, and the affairs of the Ji Family aren’t something ordinary people can look into or inquire about."
Ji Hanyu said, "It’s hard to explain. People from the Ji Family, direct descendants, collateral branches, all kinds of distant relatives add up to at least a few hundred people. How do you expect me to explain?"
"Who cares about them, I’m interested in you." Bai Haoxue pursed her lips. She wasn’t interested in listening to other people’s family matters.
Ji Hanyu said, "We are direct descendants of the Ji Family. My father has three children: my elder brother Ji Chenyan, myself, and Ji Yiyi.
However, the three of us have different mothers."
"What???!!!" Bai Haoxue was genuinely surprised by this.
It meant that Ji Hanyu’s father had at least three women.
The three sons each had different mothers.
Such a scandalous secret of a wealthy family should have been exposed, yet neither the media nor high society said anything about it.
The confidentiality work was done too well.
"Think of it this way, even the most exaggerated melodramas of wealthy families are only a fraction as dramatic as the Ji Family."
Ji Hanyu said, "I lived with my mother until I was five and hadn’t returned to the Ji Family.
Suddenly, one day, someone from the Ji Family came to take me away. I hadn’t stayed in the Ji Family for even a week when the matriarch sent me to that base. I didn’t leave the base until I was twenty."
"What about your mother?" Bai Haoxue had never heard him talk about his mother.
"She disappeared, maybe she’s dead," Ji Hanyu said without much emotion.
"You didn’t look for her?"
"I did, but I couldn’t find her."
"Ji Hanyu..."
Bai Haoxue felt he was somewhat out of sorts.
Ji Hanyu said, "When I was a kid, I thought I had been snatched away by the Ji Family. Gradually, I understood that being taken back by the Ji Family was with my mother’s tacit consent.
During those days with the Ji Family, I hoped every day for her to come and take me away, but she never came. She never even came to see me once.
My mother was an angel in my heart, but this angel personally handed me over to the devil.
While I was at the base, all my memories of the outside world were of my mother and only my mother.
But gradually, I forgot, and didn’t want to remember anymore."
"Then why did your mother send you back to the Ji Family? Did she have any difficulties?"
"Difficulties?" Ji Hanyu sneered, "Maybe she did. Perhaps it was money? Perhaps she misguidedly thought she was giving me a better life? Or naively believed the Ji Family could cultivate me better to make me an excellent person? Or maybe all of the above."
"Ji Hanyu..."
"You don’t need to worry about me," Ji Hanyu said, "this hasn’t mattered to me for a long time. It was that heartless brat Ji Yiyi who taught me that."
Ji Hanyu said, "Do you know? Ji Yiyi’s mother was very straightforward, her purpose was clear. She proactively sold Ji Yiyi to the Ji Family for a million, collected the money, and left cleanly. Yet that brat Ji Yiyi was all happy about it. He was pleased and proud that he was worth a million."
