Chapter 194: Filter

Xu Mingyue nervously grabbed Ji Yan's clothes. Her almond eyes, just like Ji Yan's, looked pleadingly at Ji Yan. Ji Yan really couldn't bring herself to refuse.

Good!

Wulongcha, hearing Ji Yan's reply, felt a bit excited. 【Host, don't be unhappy. Think positively, your great maternal grandparents have come, they'll definitely give you a red envelope!】

【Is this red envelope buying my mother's life? If not, forget it!】

【……】

Ji Yan: ……

Xu Mingyue: ……

Su Xi: ……

Ji Tianlin:???

Ji Tianlin sat up straight; he had indeed heard a child's voice, but he had already found his daughter, so his mind couldn't be off!

Hmm, I won't punish you this time. If you do it again, the punishment will be doubled. Do you accept?

Mom!

Ji Tianlin's response at the time was to give a reasonable explanation.

After Su Yu shouted, she turned her head and buried herself in Su Xi's arms, pretending to be sleepy.

Ji Tianlin looked at the three adults with unchanged expressions, utterly puzzled. The voice he heard was indeed that of the child before him, but the two voices' content was completely different.

Grandma's here, no one can bully our treasure!

Got it!

Hearing Su Yu's words, Xu Mingyue smiled with narrowed eyes. She looked at Ji Yan, truly not wanting to leave.

When she saw the appraisal report, Xu Mingyue had already planned who to invite to the celebration. If she hadn't just fainted for a moment, she would have pulled out her phone right now and called everyone to tell them her precious Jia Jia had been found!

What's wrong?

Xu Mingyue's gaze darted between Ji Yan and Su Xi. She wanted to know what her granddaughter was saying in her heart.

Su Yu's eyes glazed over, her mood low. 【Who can save Mom!】

Great! Long live Grandma!

He's not good-looking!

Xu Mingyue and they all knew now, so there was no point in hiding it.

【What's the fuss? If he hadn't lost my mother, we wouldn't have all this trouble!】

Su Xi put Su Yu on the sofa. Wearing a plush bear pajama, Su Yu adeptly lunged toward Ji Yan's arms, but Su Xi pressed down on her shoulders.

Xu Mingyue's hands itched to hug Su Yu, but she couldn't bear to let go of Ji Yan.

Su Yu couldn't even trust herself, let alone Su Xi.

Ji Tianlin widened his eyes at Su Yu; Su Yu thought he was going to hit the child, so she quickly dodged past Ji Yan and hid behind Xu Mingyue.

Su Xi thought the same. While Ji Tianlin was waiting for the appraisal report, he received a reproachful call from the old master of the Ji family.

Su Xi took out his phone and sent a message, telling the butler to come upstairs.

Grandma!

Su Xi didn't give in, saying, 'Call maternal grandparents!'

Why not call grandfather?

Ji Tianlin: That's not the case; at most he'd just faint from anger.

Su Xi quickly ran up the stairs, shouting at Su Yu as she ran toward the room, 'Come here!'

Su Yu stopped, walking listlessly toward Su Xi. Su Xi couldn't stand her pace of moving a centimeter at a time, so he stepped forward and picked her up.

I remember you're an entertainer; announcing your identity tomorrow—would that be appropriate?

Mom, are you going to tell your fans? Last time I just got home, you already told your fans!

【Of course it's appropriate—piss off Ji Xiaoling!】

Su Yu thought it over and nodded.

We should go downstairs to listen!

Ji Tianlin's face wasn't looking good! Although he still had some doubts about the authenticity of the paternity test, he had psychologically accepted that Ji Yan was his daughter. Su Yu deliberately didn't call him, and he instantly didn't like this child who looked a lot like his son-in-law.

Xu Mingyue quickly grabbed her, holding her in her arms, one arm around Su Yu, the other hand holding Ji Yan.

Su Yu reached out, wanting Ji Yan to hold her.

Grandma, save me, it's so scary! They're going to hit the child!

Do you know you were wrong?

【Host, you need to trust your great-uncle.】

Miss Xiao Yu, what are you doing here?

Xu Mingyue was very happy, 'Ah, the treasure is so obedient!'

I can cooperate!

Xu Mingyue gazed intensely at Ji Yan. She wanted to hear Ji Yan call 'Mom'.

Ji Tianlin also received a report from his assistant. Ji Yan is indeed their daughter.

I can cooperate too!

Ji Yan took out her phone, and Su Yu eagerly raised her hand, 'Mom, I'm here!'

【Hehe, let's go live directly, so Ji Xiaoling can't use the Ji family's PR team to debunk it!】

Ji Tianlin raised an eyebrow. Ji Xiaoling using the Ji family's PR team? He had no idea!

Ji Yan sat with Xu Mingyue on her left and Ji Tianlin on her right.

As soon as Su Yu opened Ji Yan's account and clicked on the live stream, the number of viewers in the stream kept rising.

Su Yu looked at herself on the screen and grinned, "Mommy's fans, hello! I'm Mommy's precious daughter, do you remember me?"

【We remember!】

【Crown Princess!】

"The baby is so cute!"

【Is this an attempt to whitewash with the daughter?】

……

The bullet comments scrolled by extremely fast. Su Yu found them obstructing her view and simply turned them off.

"Next, Mommy is going to give everyone a surprise!"

The surprise duo—Ji Tianlin and Xu Mingyue—looked at Su Yu fiddling with the phone. One had a stiffly forced smile, while the other happily wrapped an arm around Ji Yan's waist.

"Ta-da!"

Ji Yan waved at the camera, "Today I'd like to introduce the new members of our family to everyone. This is my biological mother, and this is my biological father!"

Xu Mingyue was a bit disappointed not to hear the form of address she had wanted, but she quickly perked up, "Hello everyone, thank you for your love and support for Jiajia!"

Ji Tianlin was more concise, "Hello!"

"The good news has been announced. Good night!"

With a "snap," Su Yu directly shut off the livestream, completely disregarding the lives of the curious netizens!

Su Xi had already notified Meng Xianle and the Su Clan PR Department the moment Su Yu got hold of Ji Yan's phone, so they swiftly sent their blessings to Ji Yan.

"Xiao Yu, use your mommy's account to draw 56 Su Clan product gift packs worth 1,000 yuan each, and 560 Su Clan product gift packs worth 100 yuan each."

"Okay!"

May 6th, Ji Yan's birthday.

Xu Mingyue wanted to participate in the draw too, but she didn't have a social media account.

"I'm going to call your Maternal Grandparents right now and tell them this good news! Our Xu family is large and united. I'll have the younger generation in the family use their accounts for the draw!"

Xu Mingyue excitedly picked up the phone and called her elderly father and mother at home!

Ji Tianlin thought for a moment, followed Ji Yan with his personal account, then sent a message asking his assistant to notify the company to repost the giveaway.

After finishing the call, Xu Mingyue gripped Ji Yan's hands excitedly, "If it weren't so late, your Maternal Grandparents could come over right now!"

"Tomorrow, I'll go back to the Xu family with you!"

Xu Mingyue, afraid of putting Ji Yan in a difficult position, was about to refuse, but Ji Yan added, "I have to get to know the way to my Maternal Grandparents' door eventually."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Ji Tianlin, thinking of the dreadful Ji Family members, said, "After seeing your Maternal Grandparents, go with your mommy to collect the jewelry your grandmother left for you and your mother. That's your grandmother's sincere sentiment!"

【This sentiment is better off refused!】

Ji Tianlin's expression darkened. This child was too unreasonable! An elder's sincere sentiment—even if the younger generation didn't like it, they could just set it aside. Outright refusing it was simply too rude!

All these years, Xu Mingyue had been focused on finding her daughter and had no desire to touch the compensatory relics left by her mother-in-law. Now that she had found her daughter, it was an entirely different state of mind.

"Whatever your grandmother gave, Mommy will give it all to you!"

Ji Yan had previously married into a wealthy family as a celebrity, enduring who knows how much criticism. Now it was different. With her current status, marrying into the Su Family was marrying beneath herself! Xu Mingyue felt that her status was still too thin—material things were more tangible! She needed to prepare more good things for her daughter.

【No way, who is she trying to disgust? If Mommy opens it and sees a letter addressed to Ji Xiaoling, does my mother read it or not?】

Ji Yan was stunned. Why would a letter that wasn't addressed to her be placed among the things given to her mother and her?

Xu Mingyue's face darkened. What did her mother-in-law mean by this? Was she certain that her Jiajia would never come back? When Jiajia went missing all those years ago, what role had her mother-in-law actually played?

Ji Tianlin's expression was also grim!

His mother couldn't have done such a thing!

"Your grandmother doted on you. Her entire estate was left to you and your mother!"

If his mother hadn't cared for this mother-daughter pair, why would she have left her entire estate to them? Su Yu was still young and didn't understand! He hoped Ji Yan could understand.

【Wulongcha, has he always been this stupid?】

Su Yu looked at Ji Tianlin with eyes full of confusion. No way? No way? He hadn't always thought his mother treated him and Xu Mingyue well, had he?

Ji Tianlin very much wanted to argue back, but he was afraid that telling her he could hear Su Yu's inner thoughts would frighten her. He silently repeated in his mind: biological! biological! biological!

Wulongcha went and searched online for cases involving Ji Tianlin. 【Host, based on the information already disclosed, his competence is not in question. Given the current situation, it's probably a family filter?】

【That filter is turned way too high!】

【Host, they say people are idealized after death. Perhaps Ji Tianlin unconsciously idealized his mother.】

【This idealization really doesn't care whether his wife and daughter live or die! If he saw the letter his mother left for Ji Xiaoling, would he still think it was misplaced, or that his mother wanted my mother to pass it on to Ji Xiaoling?】

【It's possible!】

Ji Tianlin didn't know why he could hear his granddaughter's thoughts. But he had faith in his mother—tomorrow would absolutely not bring the situation Su Yu described! Her hypothesis did not exist!

"Tomorrow we'll first go collect the things your grandmother left you, then go to the Xu family, and finally return to the Ji Family!"

This would also save his father from nagging that he seemed to have married into the Xu family.

"It wouldn't be good to keep your Maternal Grandparents waiting."

Ji Yan had one hundred percent faith in her daughter's inner thoughts. She had no desire to go looking for misery early in the morning. If they saw that letter, it might even lead to an argument!

On such a good day for family reunion, it was better to do something happy!

Ji Tianlin wasn't too happy! The old man would nag him again. Going home might even lead to another fight! His little padded jacket—no, it was a big padded jacket now—had a bit of a draft!

Xu Mingyue, on the other hand, was very happy, "Good, what do you like to eat? I'll tell the Xu family's housekeeper to have it prepared!"

The housekeeper nearby, at Su Xi's signal, brought over a list.

"Everything the Second Young Madam likes is all here."

Xu Mingyue's happiness lasted less than a second before she registered it, "Second?"

Why would her daughter be the Second Young Madam? Recalling that Ji Yan had never held a wedding with Su Xi, Xu Mingyue had a bad feeling. She wanted her daughter to take her granddaughter and leave the Su Family! Her daughter had plenty of men willing to marry her properly and give them both a legitimate status!

Ji Yan thought that Su Yu would draw a card tomorrow, letting Su Yi wake up, and she also put on a happy smile on her face, "Yes, I married Su Yi four years ago. Su Yu is Su Yi's child."

Ji Tianlin remembered, Su Yi seemed to be a vegetative person? Then could he find a few more for his daughter?

Ji Tianlin quickly scanned the unmarried men in his circle in his mind, each seemed to have flaws, not good enough for his daughter!

"How could outsiders say that Su Yu is Su Xi's daughter?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Xu Mingyue felt a bit regretful. Had she been too blunt?

"At the time the situation was special; now my brother is about to wake up, and not long after, the Su Clan will officially announce their relationship to the outside."

Su Xi wanted Meng Xianle to investigate Ji Tianlin and Xu Mingyue's preferences. That way, when Su Yi wakes up tomorrow, he can bring the chosen gifts to his parents-in-law!

【Wulongcha, my dad is really about to wake up?】

【From the day my dad could communicate with the outside, the test results have always shown he's about to wake up!】

In fact, after all this time, Su Yi hasn't woken up. He can communicate with the outside, but he can't wake up, nor can he move.

【I thought I wouldn't need to draw a card!】

Su Xi saw that Xu Mingyue and Ji Tianlin looked off, picked up Su Yu, "You've listened too, it's time to sleep!"

"Okay!"

【Anyway, they can't temporarily find out that Ji Xiaoling wants to harm my mom; listening would be pointless. If it weren't for my uncle carrying me down, I would have already slept!】

Su Yu was indeed tired; leaning on Su Xi, she fell asleep peacefully.

Xu Mingyue:!!!

Ji Tianlin:!!!

Both were shocked! Ji Tianlin came to his senses faster. Ji Xiaoling had inexplicably started targeting Ji Yan. He just wanted the old man to shut up, so he helped Ji Xiaoling deal with the Su family; now thinking about it, it doesn't feel right!

How did Ji Xiaoling know even faster than them that Ji Yan is Jia Jia?

Su Xi carried Su Yu upstairs to the room, and the steward followed to open the door.

Xu Mingyue couldn't hold back any longer, whispering, "Jia Jia, is what Xiao Yu said true?"

Ji Yan gave an answer with both advance and retreat options: "As far as we can see, past events are all true."

Most of what Su Yu mentioned in her inner voice were past events; the future can be changed.

Ji Tianlin, who had just thought he was the chosen one:???

It turns out he's not the only one who can hear it?

"Can you also hear Su Yu's thoughts? Mingyue, you previously had auditory hallucinations—could it be that you were hearing Su Yu's thoughts?"

"Yeah, Jia Jia, Xiao Yu, she—will others hear her?"

Xu Mingyue ignored her husband's incredulous expression; she was more worried about her granddaughter's safety.

Ji Yan shook her head: "For now, only the blood‑related people in the household can hear it."

"What about other relatives of the Su family?"

"They probably can't."

Xu Mingyue felt a bit more relieved. This is really too special. If someone reports it, Su Yu will be in danger.

……

【Host good morning!】

【Wulongcha good morning!】

Su Yu finished washing up and sat cross‑legged on the sofa in the room.

【Come on, let's draw cards!】

【Okay, Host, how many times do you want to draw this time?】

Thanks for the votes, cuties～

Double votes at month‑end, please vote～
