Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband

Chapter 167: Chapter 167: No Blood Relation

Ji Yu thought these things were quite normal.

"You can already tell I don’t look anything like your family. Actually, I have no connection to your family whatsoever."

She didn’t like the Lin family at all, harboring a deep-seated sense of repulsion toward them.

"Besides, you must’ve seen the news about me online before, right? If you think about it carefully, this whole scheme probably only came up after you saw me online."

Old Master Lin’s plan was indeed meticulous.

Finding someone like Ji Yu, who had no family since she was a child—normally, with a bit of manipulation, it’d be easy to make her come back with them.

Wouldn’t that make her easy to exploit?

But Ji Yu was completely different from what they had imagined. Even though she had never met her biological parents, every person in her life had loved her deeply.

"Given Old Master Lin’s current condition, I doubt he’ll last until my child is born. If he wants my child’s life, let’s see if he really has that kind of ability."

Ji Yu was still smiling, but her words had long lost any semblance of amiability.

For a moment, Lin Wenyan didn’t know how to respond.

No one had probably expected Ji Yu to be such a tough nut to crack.

Gu Qixiao hadn’t forgotten what Lin Wenyan had just said. "In that case, if you’ve got anything useful to share, just spill it. After all, Yu has been helping you take care of a child for so long."

He knew Ji Yu thought of such things as her duty.

But he believed the things Ji Yu did deserved repayment.

"I don’t have anything for now. When I do, I’ll definitely inform you. I only hope you’ll show some mercy to the Lin family."

He understood that Gu Qixiao had been itching to act against the Lin family recently.

Gu Qixiao stayed fairly calm.

But that didn’t mean there wouldn’t be subtle moves happening behind the scenes.

The trio briefly discussed the Lin family’s affairs. Both Gu Qixiao and Ji Yu felt that the Lin family was likely planning some big move.

Sure enough, as they were heading back, the internet had already exploded.

According to the Lin family, Ji Yu was their child. Old Master Lin was now critically ill, accompanied by a photo of him in the emergency room.

It made it seem like Ji Yu was incredibly unkind toward Old Master Lin.

[Honestly, doesn’t this seem like Ji’s fault? If she truly wasn’t related to them, it’d be fine not to respond, but this is her biological grandfather we’re talking about.]

[Why do I feel like they look nothing alike though?]

[The key point is Ji herself said she has no relation to their family, didn’t she?]

[But there’s a paternity test right here. Could that possibly be fake?]

Ji Yu looked at the exceptionally convincing forged paternity test and was quite curious about what other tricks they were planning to pull.

Why were they using such tactics to frame her as being in the wrong?

She quickly received a call from Old Master Lin.

The voice on the other end, while weak, didn’t sound nearly as bad as depicted in the photo.

"Do you think this has any meaning? Even if the fake paternity test is shown to everyone, I will never be your granddaughter. What you’ve said has no impact on me."

She detested such fabrications.

"Ji Yu, even now you’re being so stubborn. Do you not realize that once this matter is confirmed, you’ll be cursed and condemned by countless people?"

"Oh, I know. And what’s the problem with that?" Ji Yu seemed rather intrigued by this notion.

"Will they stop coming to my hospital for surgeries? Or are they going to come up with something else to say?"

To be honest, in her eyes, this level of attack wasn’t even enough to fill the gaps between her teeth.

For her, these scenarios were nothing more than an appetizer.

"What do you mean?" Old Master Lin seemed momentarily unable to process her response.

A man who valued reputation so highly—how could he not care about matters of public perception?

Ji Yu wasn’t concerned at all about how much trouble these things might bring her. "If you want to publish it, then go ahead. Let them scold me all they want. I’m curious to see if they’ll manage to scold me to death, or if you’ll be the one who can’t hold on first."

As long as her mindset stayed calm, these things wouldn’t faze her in the slightest.

Even Old Master Lin was momentarily speechless, stunned by Ji Yu’s audacity. "Girl, don’t you care about your reputation? If you’re planning to marry Gu Qixiao, you absolutely can’t drag this kind of infamy into it."

Before Gu Qixiao could retort, he heard Ji Yu mercilessly respond, "If he can’t accept this version of me, then I can absolutely choose not to accept him. Do you think I’m someone who needs a marriage or a man to live a good life?"

She had her own confidence. No matter how much happened, she couldn’t fully comprehend the fuss over these issues.

"Feel free to go ahead and orchestrate these things. From my perspective, they’re no big deal at all."

She had already faced countless similar situations. Thinking back on it, no matter how intense the bullets flying her way seemed, they could never really hit their mark so quickly.

Old Master Lin was at a loss for words. Perhaps he had never imagined that Ji Yu would be so indifferent about everything.

At this rate, Ji Yu truly wouldn’t be affected in the slightest. His own health, however, might give out first.

"You..."

He wanted to say something more.

But Ji Yu hung up just then.

She never intended to engage with him in the first place.

Her aim in saying those things was purely to provoke him.

Old Master Lin was so angry that he began taking in oxygen again, his clouded eyes filled with resentment toward Ji Yu.

Lin Chujian, seeing Old Master Lin in such a state, felt it was his own fault for stirring up trouble. At a time like this, why would he still bother to provoke Ji Yu? Didn’t he understand that Ji Yu was never someone to be trifled with?

"Old Master, you should rest properly. I’m going to check on matters at the company."

In truth, she didn’t really care whether Old Master Lin lived or died. She merely wanted to make Ji Yu’s life harder.

But Ji Yu was proving to be tougher than she had anticipated.

Just thinking about it made Lin Chujian’s heart twist uncomfortably.

When she thought about Ji Yu and Gu Qixiao’s relationship, she sought Gu Qixiao out once again.

Gu Qixiao didn’t even look at her. "Assistant Li, have security downstairs escort her out immediately."

He walked into the office building without sparing her a glance, his manner one of complete disdain.

If she was upset, too bad for her—there’d be no other outcome.

"Gu Qixiao, I just want to say a few words to you. Do you have to treat me like this? Don’t you care about Ji Yu’s safety?"

"Do I care about her safety? I know better than you ever could." He was fully aware of what Ji Yu had been up to recently.

In fact, he had already stationed his people around Ji Yu. The moment any suspicious individual appeared, they’d be intercepted immediately, leaving absolutely no chance for them to get close to her.

"Gu Qixiao, are you that confident? If something happens to Ji Yu, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life!"noveldrama
