Chapter 96 I Didn't Fulfill My Mother's Responsibilities
Bin City, Lu Family Villa.

After Lu Ran told Ye Zhian and Jia Jingshu about Ji Zebei's coming, he suddenly realized that there was one person missing.

Ji Zichen didn't seem to come in, she asked Ye Zhian, "Where's Ji Zichen?"

Ye Zhian was taken aback, "He didn't come?"

"I didn't see him."

"Is it still in the car?"

"I gonna go see."

Lu Ran walked out quickly.

Ye Zhian's car was parked in the yard, she walked up, and through the car window found Ji Zichen sleeping on his back in the back seat.

She kept vigilant along the way, staring at Ye Zhian driving without blinking, completely forgetting about Ji Zichen, unexpectedly he fell asleep.

She returned to the house, asked for the car keys from Ye Zhian, unlocked the car door, shook the sleeping Ji Zichen awake and said, "If you're sleepy, go to the guest room and sleep."

Ji Zichen looked at her sleepily, "Are you there?"

She nodded with a wry smile, not daring to tell Ji Zichen that both she and Ye Zhian had forgotten about him.

"I want to go home first."

"Row."

"When does the birthday party start?" Ji Zichen asked her while rubbing his eyes.

"There's no party, it's just a family having dinner together. Come here at twelve noon."

Although I go home to celebrate my birthday every year, there are basically no special programs, and the birthday cake can't be eaten until evening.

In fact, she hasn't had cake in a year.

Her birthday is rather special. It falls on the last day of each year, and the next day is New Year’s Day. Even if the eldest brother and the second brother work late, they will try their best to come back on the 31st. The whole family has a reunion dinner, and Meng Yi After she blows out the candles on the birthday cake, they will press her face into the cake, and the good cake will not be eaten.

"There is good news, your brother is already on his way." She said to Ji Zichen with a smile.

Ji Zichen's eyes lit up, and his whole body suddenly became energetic, "Has he finally figured it out?"

"should be."

"I'll go home to see my mother first, and come back later."

"Go."

Watching Ji Zichen walk towards the villa next door, Lu Ran locked Ye Zhian's car, turned and entered the house.

-

Ji Zichen opened the door with a key, and the house was deserted.

The housekeeper was very surprised when he saw him come back, "Master, is the school closed early?"

He shook his head.

In order to celebrate Lu Ran's birthday, he skipped class.

"Where are my parents?"

Butler: "The chairman is in the company, and the wife is upstairs."

Ji Zichen let out an 'oh' and walked upstairs quickly.

He found Jiang Wenpei in the study, and Jiang Wenpei was sitting on the sofa in the study, reading with downcast eyes.

I don't know what book she was reading, she was so engrossed in it, he pushed open the door and walked to her side, but she didn't even notice.

"Mom?" he called out.

Shocked, Jiang Wenpei raised her head in surprise, met his gaze, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, smiled slightly and said, "When did you come back?"

"just."

"Why do you make no sound when you walk, kid? It scared me."

"Sister Lu Ran's birthday is today, I came back with her, and I'm going to celebrate her birthday later."

"Where's your brother?"

It was good that Jiang Wenpei didn't mention Ji Zebei, but when he mentioned it, he couldn't help but think that he and Ji Zebei were half-brothers.

He frowned and asked solemnly, "Mom, was my brother born to you?"

Jiang Wenpei's face turned pale, "It's all right, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"I just want to know, is my brother your own?"

Jiang Wenpei put down the book in his hand and said as calmly as possible: "No."

She is Ji Zebei's stepmother. She married Ji Jianguo when Ji Zebei was still very young. Treat her very politely, but excessive politeness always makes her feel alienated.

Even the relationship between Ji Jianguo and Ji Zebei is very tense.

Ji Zebei didn't want to go home during the holidays. In fact, the more reason was that he had a bad relationship with Ji Jianguo.

Ji Jianguo hoped that Ji Zebei could take over Ji's real estate, but Ji Zebei dropped out of business school privately abroad and went to learn how to cook. His behavior made Ji Jianguo very angry.

Since then, the relationship between father and son has been tense.

"How much do you know about my brother's biological mother?" Ji Zichen asked.

Jiang Wenpei sighed and motioned for him to sit down.

He sat down beside her and listened to her patiently say: "Actually, I don't know much about your brother's biological mother, but I heard from your father that after she gave birth to your brother, she didn't fulfill her responsibilities as a mother for a day. Divorced from your father, and went abroad to pursue dreams alone."

Ji Zichen's eyes were red, "Is this too much?"

"That's right! I'm also a mother, but if it were me, no matter what, I wouldn't be able to leave my child behind."

"My brother is so pitiful!"

Ji Zichen couldn't hold back, and burst into tears with a 'wow'.

Jiang Wenpei patted his head with a wry smile, and comforted him: "Be nicer to your brother in the future, and don't make him angry."

He nodded heavily.

"By the way, will your brother come back on New Year's Day?"

Ji Zichen sniffed and said, "He's on his way back."

"is it?"

A smile appeared in Jiang Wenpei's eyes, "Then I'll tell the housekeeper to make the kitchen prepare a richer dinner for tonight."

"When will my dad come back?"

"He has a social event tonight, so he should be back late. We can just leave your brother at home for dinner, and they probably won't meet."

Ji Zichen changed his mournful face and said with a smile, "Okay!"

Ji Zichen knew about the discord between Ji Zebei and Ji Jianguo. Although he didn't know why, every time Ji Zebei came back, he would have disputes with Ji Jianguo.

Most of the time, Ji Jianguo deliberately troubled Ji Zebei, who picked on Ji Zebei, and Ji Zebei would slam the door angrily and leave.

-

When it was nearly twelve o'clock, Ji Zebei finally arrived at Lu's villa.

Parking the car in the parking space on the side of the road, he got out of the car and walked straight towards the villa. He subconsciously glanced at his own house next door, and when he saw Ji Zichen running out of the house, he stopped.

Ji Zichen soon spotted him and waved at him excitedly, "Brother!"

He waited for Ji Zichen to come in front of him, and smiled lightly, "Is everything alright at home?"

"It's good. Dad has a social event tonight and will be back very late. Mom heard that you came back and asked the kitchen to prepare delicious food for us. We will have a good night."

Ji Zebei smiled thoughtfully, but didn't answer.

The two entered the house together.

Jia Jingshu had been waiting for Ji Zebei for a long time, and when she saw the two brothers coming together, she hurried forward to greet him warmly.

"Zebei is here, come and sit down."

Jia Jingshu gestured to Ye Zhian who was on the sofa and said, "You guys chat first, I'll go upstairs and call Lu Ran, this girl sleeps as soon as she comes back, she doesn't even know how to greet her friends."

Watching Jia Jingshu go upstairs, Ji Zebei sat down beside Ye Zhian, Ye Zhian looked at him with a playful smile, "Old Ji, I found that you are a bit duplicity."
