Chapter 90 (2/2)
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!
Ji Feng's eyes lit up when he saw Ji Zhenping's actions. Ji Zhenping's movements were fluid and smooth. Apparently, he was not an ordinary person.
”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 the same time, Xiao Sumei's expression kept changing, as if she was making some difficult decision.
At this moment, the door opened. A tall and st.u.r.dy middle-aged man who appeared extremely refined walked in.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
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!
More importantly, upon seeing this middle-aged man, Ji Feng felt as though he was connected to him by blood. It was a weird feeling that could not be expressed with words, but it was real.
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!
When the scholarly middle-aged man saw Ji Feng and Xiao Sumei, his face instantly turned excited. His lips moved, but he did not know what to say. He could only excitedly look at Ji Feng and his mother.
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.”
A trace of dejection flashed across Ji Zhenhua's eyes. ”Good, good.”
”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!”
Ji Feng laughed involuntarily. He had to admit that this uncle who suddenly popped out of nowhere was indeed very much to his taste. And what he said was right. Regardless of whether Ji Feng admitted it or not, blood ties couldn't be changed.
”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. ”
”Marriage!”
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. ”
Ji Zhenping continued, ”However, the family of that general was wiped out in advance, so the family of that general immediately rose to prominence and became the Wealthy Cla.s.s in Beijing. As for your grandfather, he is still undergoing labor reform. ”
”And then?” Ji Feng asked. He had a faint feeling that this matter wasn't simple.
”And then? After that, the general's family saw that your grandfather hadn't gotten the reverse of Zhaoxue yet, and even if they wanted to do so in the future, the chances of that happening were slim. So, they rescinded the marriage. ”
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.
”Yeah, it's more than suffering. If it wasn't for your grandpa being able to endure it, I'm afraid he would have already died on that farm.” Ji Zhenping shook his head. ”In other words, the year your grandfather was reversed, I was born. Hahaha, the old man is quite energetic.”
