Chapter 90
For the entire night, Ji Feng didn't sleep well. He had been thinking about what kind of person that uncle who suddenly popped up was, why would he suddenly come looking for him?
He had lived here with his mother for more than ten years, but he had never seen anyone come to look for him!
Fortunately, the whole night went by without incident. Under the stimulation of the bioelectric currents, Ji Feng did not appear exhausted even if he did not sleep for a whole night. Rather, he appeared to be in high spirits.
At dawn, he quickly got out of bed, closed the sofa, and went downstairs to wash up.
When he was done, he sat on the sofa in the living room and waited for his mother to get up. He knew that since his uncle, Ji Zhenping, was here, his mother would not go out to sell vegetables.
In fact, Xiao Sumei was very clear that Ji Feng really wanted to know about her father's situation. There was no child who didn't long to be loved by their parents. Although Ji Feng appeared strong, he was no exception.
However, when she thought of that man, she couldn't help but feel sad. If it wasn't for that, she wouldn't have left without saying goodbye at that time.
But now, Xiao Sumei knew that she wouldn't be able to avoid it.
"Feng'er, why are you up so early?" Xiao Sumei asked softly.
"It's nothing. I can't sleep." "Mom, I've made breakfast."
Xiao Sumei couldn't help but smile with relief. During this year, her son had indeed changed a lot. Not only had he become more confident and open-minded, he even knew how to help her. This made her very happy.
Ji Feng froze for a moment. He glanced at his mother, then stood up and opened the door.
The person standing outside the door was indeed Ji Zhenping. When he saw Ji Feng, he gave a slight smile. "Kid, you don't know how to call for help?"
Even though Ji Feng knew that Ji Zhenping might really be his own uncle.
"This kid..." Ji Zhenping was surprised to see Ji Feng completely ignoring him. He shook his head and smiled wryly. He thought to himself, "This kid's personality is really like that of a big brother, yet he's so stubborn."
Xiao Sumei glared at him but did not correct him. She knew Ji Zhenping's character. He was a cunning fellow. He had always been a man of his word. However, he had always treated her with respect.
"Yi?" Eating breakfast? " Ji Zhenping looked at the breakfast on the table and laughed. "I haven't eaten either. What a coincidence."
Ji Zhenping sat down and started to eat without waiting for any greetings.
Ji Feng knitted his brows as he glanced at Qin Wentian. However, he could feel the closeness between them, so he didn't say anything. He merely ate a few bites and it would be over.
"Eldest sister-in-law, come back with me today." As soon as he finished his meal, Ji Zhenping said impatiently, "You know what, sister-in-law. Be it eldest brother or the family's old man, they both wish for you to go back. Even though eldest brother was at fault, it's still over, isn't it?" Moreover, that matter … Sigh, how could I say it? As your little brother, I'm not too sure either. "
Ji Zhenping's face immediately fell. With a bitter face, he said, "Sister-in-law, take pity on San-zi. If you don't come back with me, Big Bro will send me to Mang s.h.i.+ County to protect Sister-in-law."
"How could that be possible, sister-in-law? As long as you say it, I will go through fire and tread through water without any hesitation!" Ji Zhenping patted his chest before shaking his head. "But sister-in-law, Mang s.h.i.+ County's highest ranked minister is only at the Regiment rank. Pity me, a vice general, as your commander. If you want to come here, just become your captain. Sister-in-law, please be lenient!"
"Sister-in-law, I'll tell you the truth. I knew you wouldn't come with me last night, especially after that stinking brat Ji Feng showed off his skills. You're even more unwilling to come with me."
Ji Zhenping shook his head with a wry smile. "That's why I called boss last night."
"Why did you call him?!" Xiao Sumei glared at him and her expression darkened.
Xiao Sumei glared at him but did not speak.
"Sister-in-law, big brother should be on his way by now. No, if I'm not wrong, he should be in Mang s.h.i.+ County by now." Ji Zhenping said.
"You-!" Xiao Sumei glared at Ji Zhenping angrily. "You little brat, how did you manage that? Who told you to tell him? "
Ji Zhenping was so scolded that he had to hide his face and smile apologetically.
"Never mind, since that's the case, I'll go with you." Xiao Sumei shook her head and angrily said, "I won't let him find me. We'll leave Mang s.h.i.+ County from another direction."
Ji Zhenping was overjoyed. As long as his sister-in-law agreed to leave with him, anything would be fine with him.
"Remember, you are not allowed to call him. Otherwise, I will never forgive you!" Xiao Sumei said coldly.
Ji Zhenping was scared and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I promise you, I won't. Don't be angry!"
Ji Feng looked deeply at Ji Zhenping, a pensive look appearing in his eyes.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
At this moment, a car whistle sounded from downstairs.
"Hmm?" Ji Zhenping frowned in dissatisfaction. At the same time, he was also puzzled. The four men he had brought with him were all top tier soldiers. They couldn't push the horn and urge him on. It was also unlikely for them to encounter any warning attacks.
Not everyone was as good as his nephew; he could actually take down four top soldiers without realizing it.
"Sister-in-law, you guys wait first, I'll go and see what's going on." Ji Zhenping said immediately. At the same time, he pulled out his pistol from his waist. He looked alert.
Expert!
"B-big brother?!"
Just as Ji Feng was praising her in his heart, Ji Zhenping's voice came from outside the door. From his tone, it seemed that he was very surprised.
When he saw Xiao Susu's expression change, Ji Feng's heart skipped a beat. 'Ji Zhenping's elder brother, wouldn't that be …?'
Ji Feng started to feel nervous. Although he did not know Ji Zhenping's ident.i.ty, just from the aura he exuded, as well as his four good men, one could tell that Ji Zhenping's ident.i.ty was definitely not simple.
However, Ji Zhenping's big brother said that he was going to be married off to Ji Zhenping, so what kind of status did Ji Zhenping have?
However, Ji Feng was nervous, not because of the other party's position, but because of his ident.i.ty, the father that he had never met!
At this moment, the door opened. A tall and st.u.r.dy middle-aged man who appeared extremely refined walked in.
When he saw this middle-aged man, Ji Feng felt a sense of dizziness. He could almost feel how similar he and this middle-aged man were. He was practically the same as this middle-aged man when he was young. In other words, this middle-aged man would be Ji Feng in tens of years!
Needless to say, Ji Feng knew who this middle-aged man was. He was none other than his father, whom he hadn't seen for over ten years!
Xiao Sumei's expression also drastically changed. Her face immediately darkened as she coldly said, "Ji Zhenhua, what are you doing here?!"
It turned out that the name of this middle-aged man, who was also his father, was Ji Zhenhua. Ji Feng finally knew his father's name, and an indescribable feeling arose in his heart.
It had been eighteen years, and he had always wanted to know who his father was. However, he had never been able to find out, nor did he dare to mention it in front of his mother. When he grew up, his mother would scold him if he mentioned his father. When he grew up, he knew that if he mentioned his father's words, they would make his mother sad, so all these years, he had kept this question in his heart and never said it.
"Su-mei, you still won't forgive me?" Ji Zhenhua looked apologetically at Xiao Sumei, "I was in the wrong in what happened that year. I didn't tell you the truth, but that incident has long been a thing of the past."
He then looked at Ji Feng as he emotionally asked, "You, you are Ji Feng, right?"
Ji Feng nodded, yet he didn't know what to say. In the end, all he could say was, "h.e.l.lo."
"Kid, come out with me!" Ji Zhenping, who was standing aside, saw Ji Feng standing there in a daze. He grabbed Ji Feng's arm and pulled him out of the room, leaving Xiao Sumei and Ji Zhenhua alone in the room.
Ji Feng shook off Ji Zhenping's hand with a flick of his wrist and asked, "Who the h.e.l.l are you?"
Ji Zhenping glared at him. "Kid, don't think that just because you're good you can talk to me like that. I'll tell you this, no matter what you say. I'm still your uncle. You must learn to respect your elders!"
"Um …" "Uncle, my mom …" Ji Feng hesitated for a moment, but just as he was about to ask a question, he was interrupted by Ji Zhenping.
"Kid, you want to know what's going on with your father and daughter, right?" Ji Zhenping asked.
Ji Feng nodded. "That's right, I really want to know."
"How should I explain this? It's a bit complicated, and it involves the relations.h.i.+p of the older generation. I won't be able to explain it in a short while, so I'll just explain it to you simply."
Ji Zhenping hesitated before continuing, "Decades ago, you don't need to know the specifics. Anyway, it will be fine as long as you know it is a long time ago. At that time, your grandfather was a hero who followed Taizu to rule the world, and he had a good relations.h.i.+p with another general who was similarly powerful. At that time, your grandfather and that general both betrothed your father and the general's daughter. "
Ji Feng instantly understood. In other words, he was betrothed to someone.
"But then, ten years later, your grandfather and the general were forced to undergo an inhuman transformation on a farm in the countryside. Fortunately, your grandfather survived, but that general, because he was severely injured on the battlefield before, his health was not well to begin with, so he failed to survive and died on the farm. "
"And then?" Ji Feng asked. He had a faint feeling that this matter wasn't simple.
Ji Zhenping shook his head with a disdainful sneer on his face, "The general's family did not expect that your grandfather would also return to the throne. Your grandfather's physique is not bad, and after the rebellion, your grandfather was reinstated to his position and power by the chief designer."
"Grandpa must have suffered a lot!" The feeling of blood being thicker than water made Ji Feng subconsciously accept his grandfather, and he asked with a sigh.
