Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs - Chapter 312

Chapter 312: Two Ji Buwangs

Mu Jingzhe was very pleased to see Xiao Wu’s transformation, but when she turned to look at Shao Qiyun, she was displeased. Training Xiao Wu’s courage was one thing, but when she saw Shao Qiyun’s vicious gaze, she was very dissatisfied. She moved her wrist. “Shao Qiyun, you don’t want your eyes anymore, right?”

Shao Qiyun retracted her gaze, looking aggrieved.

Ji Buwang did arrive quickly, as he had said. Soon, he was there. Old Master Ji also came with him.

This was the second time Old Master Ji had come to the alley. Last time, he had kept a low profile and even deliberately changed his clothes. This time, he didn’t keep a low profile and he looked completely different. He had thought that others wouldn’t be able to recognize him this time, but in the end, he was still recognized right away.

“Isn’t this the kidnapper? Why is he here again? How dare he come?”

“That’s right. You even changed clothes. Did you think we wouldn’t recognize you just because you changed into a set of fine clothes? Do you think you can fool us?”

“What are the police doing? Why did they release him again!”

Last time, they had caught him and sent him to the police station.

Old Master Ji looked at them. “…”

Ji Buwang, who was watching from the side, was speechless.

“…”

He wanted to laugh but felt that it wasn’t appropriate. He quickly asked, “Sister, do you still remember me?”

As soon as he spoke, Old Master Ji looked at Ji Buwang in disbelief. He had actually called her ‘Sister’. Shouldn’t he have called her ‘Auntie’?

The landlady and the rest naturally remembered Ji Buwang. “Aiyo, I told you last time to just call me ‘Auntie’. You don’t have to call me ‘Sister’.”

“But you all look so young. Aren’t you just older sisters?” Ji Buwang couldn’t see their faces and habitually called them ‘older sisters’. His words were very sweet and sincere.

“We’re already very old, so why are you still calling us ‘Sister’?” Despite what she said, she was beaming. After saying that, she looked at Old Master Ji. “Young man, why are you with this kidnapper?”

“This is my grandfather, not a kidnapper. There was a misunderstanding last time.” Ji Buwang held back his laughter and helped Old Master Ji explain.

Everyone was skeptical. “Grandfather? Then why did he look so suspicious last time?”

Ji Buwang couldn’t help but laugh. Old Master Ji nudged Ji Buwang and smiled stiffly as he explained, “I had something to do last time… but I’m really not a kidnapper.”

After explaining clearly, Ji Buwang and Old Master Ji entered the small courtyard under everyone’s suspicious gazes.

Shao Qiyun was even more excited than Mu Jingzhe and the others when she saw Ji Buwang’s grandfather. She had already found out that Ji Buwang’s grandfather was very important, so she eagerly went to help Old Master Ji. “Grandpa, please come in.”

After saying that, she gave the most beautiful smile that she had practiced in front of the mirror to Ji Buwang, feeling a little regretful about not wearing a dress and dressing up properly.

Shao Qiyun was very confident in her appearance and wanted to move Ji Buwang.

Unfortunately, her smile was completely useless. It was like winking at a tree. Ji Buwang couldn’t see her at all.

Old Master Ji also distanced himself from her and didn’t give her any face. “I’m not related to you by blood. I don’t like people calling me ‘Grandpa’ either. When I hear someone call me that, I feel like hitting them. Don’t call me that anymore.”

Old Master Ji became stern. His aura was no joke. With just one look, Shao Qiyun froze. “Okay…”

Ignoring Shao Qiyun, Old Master Ji immediately looked at Xiao Wu. ‘Aiyo, little darling, I missed you so much. You look even better than two days ago.’

“Xiao Wu.” Old Master Ji greeted him with a beam. His smile was like a flower, and his face changed extremely quickly.

After taking a few more looks at Xiao Wu, Old Master Ji then looked at Shao Qihai and Mu Jingzhe with a smile.

“Old Master Ji.” Mu Jingzhe had just greeted him when Old Master Ji sighed. “Aren’t you being too polite? Just call me ‘Grandpa’. At my age, I should be called ‘Grandpa’.”

Ji Buwang chuckled.

Mu Jingzhe: “Grandpa Ji…”

Behind her, Shao Qiyun’s face turned green. Just a moment ago, he had said that he wanted to hit her for calling him ‘Grandpa’ because they weren’t related. Then why had he allowed Mu Jingzhe to call him ‘Grandpa’ now? And why had he even insisted? Was Mu Jingzhe related to him by blood?

What was going on?

Shao Qiyun didn’t know that there was such a thing as double standards, but she was currently experiencing a massive double standard.

Although she didn’t know much about this, she could already feel malice.

She had thought that it would be good to have a nice talk with them since they were so easy to talk to. Now, it seemed like she had rejoiced too soon.

After Old Master Ji and the rest finished their small talk, they sat down politely. There were too many people and too few chairs, so Shao Xi went next door to borrow two.

“Alright, now that everyone is here, let’s talk about it.”

Old Master Ji looked at Shao Qiyun. “I heard that you think Buwang is Xiao Wu’s father and you want to marry Buwang?”

This time, Old Master Ji spoke quite amiably.

Shao Qiyun perked up. “Yes, I remember very clearly that the person I was with back then was Ji Buwang. Now that you’ve acknowledged Xiao Wu, I think the best way to give Xiao Wu the perfect family is for me, his biological mother, to marry Ji Buwang.”

Old Master Ji couldn’t accept it. “Why is that the best solution? You didn’t raise Xiao Wu.”

“I didn’t have a choice in the past, but now there’s a chance. This is the best choice for Xiao Wu. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely treat Xiao Wu well. After all, I’m his biological mother. Blood is thicker than water.”

Shao Qiyun emphasized the fact that she was his biological mother again and again.

“I know you’re Xiao Wu’s biological mother. You don’t have to emphasize it over and over again,” Old Master Ji said. “Every time you emphasize it, my fist clenches harder. If it clenches any harder, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself and I will throw a punch.”

Shao Qiyun was really not used to Old Master Ji’s way of speaking. She kept feeling that he was unpredictable. “Old Master Ji, I can explain…”

“Explain what? Did you not abandon Xiao Wu and give him away? I’ve already asked around. I heard that you even wanted to strangle Xiao Wu. Is that right?”

Upon hearing him say that she had strangled Xiao Wu, Shao Qiyun froze. She knew that Mu Jingzhe would definitely badmouth her. She glared at Mu Jingzhe, then lowered her head and explained. “It was a misunderstanding back then. I had no choice. Ji Buwang had run away. I didn’t want Xiao Wu to be born out of wedlock and be mocked…”

“Alright, there’s no need to utter such lousy lies.” Old Master Ji truly hadn’t seen such a stupid person in a long time, nor had he heard such an obvious lie before.

“Besides, he’s not Xiao Wu’s biological father. Stop thinking of such useless things.”

“It’s him. I remember him clearly!” Shao Qiyun raised her voice. “Old Master Ji, your family is undoubtedly reputable. It’s not good for you to deny it like this, right?”

“This is Xiao Wu’s biological father, Buwang’s older brother.”

Old Master Ji took out a photo and placed it in front of Shao Qiyun.

Shao Qiyun frowned. “That’s right. This is Ji Buwang.”

Mu Jingzhe was also stunned when she saw this. The person in the photo indeed bore a great resemblance to Ji Buwang.

Old Master Ji glanced at it. “I knew you would get it wrong. This isn’t Buwang.”

“It’s clearly him!” Shao Qiyun was indignant.

Old Master Ji wasn’t angry. “Alright, what about this one?”

As he spoke, he showed her another photo. Shao Qiyun was stunned when she saw it, as there were two ‘Ji Buwangs’ in the photo.
