"Such a proud person could never accept this. She didn’t even listen to his confession, raising her hand and slapping Big Brother Qin. How could something so lowly deserve someone as noble as she? She saw it as an insult, a trampling on her dignity." Thinking of this, she gave a bitter smile: "So when I saw that ring, I knew that the lady had returned." After disappearing for so many years, she never thought the lady would reappear in such a way. She understood that the lady was blaming her for her betrayal. A cold shiver ran through Yun Ya’s eyes; this woman was simply too detestable. Even things she didn’t like, once marked with her imprint, were not allowed to be touched by others. Such ingrained dominance... It was just like her... "Even if she returns, what can she change? Uncle Qin is no longer the Uncle Qin of the past. He is the father of your child, your husband. Aunt Die, why are you so afraid of her?" Ji Die instinctively took a step back: "No, she is the lady, she is my lady..." Yun Ya’s lips curved slightly, her voice tender and persuasive: "You are too foolish. You treat her as your lady, considering everything for her. But what about her? In her heart, you have no place. To her, you are just an existence that can be easily replaced. Is it worth giving everything for such a person? Aunt Die, even if you don’t think of yourself, you should think of the child in your womb. Do you want him to be born without a father? As a mother, you must be strong. If you continue to be weak, your child will live in pain for the rest of his life, and you will be the culprit..." "Enough!" Ji Die held her head, suddenly turning to see the girl standing beside her, her eyes glittering with an inexplicable light. "She is your biological mother." She saw the girl’s clear eyes gradually turning dark, like melting ice on the surface of a frozen lake—sharp, cold, and chilling to the heart. Ji Die shivered instinctively. "She doesn’t deserve to be a mother at all." She leaned close to Ji Die’s ear, whispering lowly: "Aunt Die, don’t worry. I will always stand by your side. Don’t be afraid." Ji Die was stunned for a moment, her heartbeat quickening instantly. Seeing Ji Die’s changing expression, Yun Ya’s lips curled slightly. No one can remain indifferent when faced with easily attainable happiness, and Ji Die was no exception. When the dark side of human nature is revealed, the line between angel and devil is but a thought. Ji Die’s hand fell to her belly, her eyes downcast. From Yun Ya’s angle, she could only see her long eyelashes, not the slightest hint of emotion in her eyes. Before long, Qin Du returned, shaking his head, having achieved nothing. Ji Die took off her veil, smiling: "It seems today’s wedding can’t proceed." Qin Du gave her a look, then glanced questioningly at Yun Ya, who returned a smile. Qin Du thought that with Ji Die’s character, she would burst into tears, but unexpectedly, she could still smile as if nothing had happened, as if her husband hadn’t fled the wedding and left her behind. "Let’s go home first. No matter how far he goes, he will eventually return home." With that, she gathered her wedding dress and left first. Yun Ya glanced around, quickly catching up and leaving the church with Ji Die. The two of them took a car back to the Qin Family home. Aunt Wu saw Ji Die walking in wearing her wedding dress and was stunned for a moment. She knew that the master and she were getting married today, and so early in the morning, the master had given a large red envelope to the servants. Shouldn’t the wedding ceremony be at the church now? Why had they suddenly returned? She looked behind them and noticed that the master was missing. Suppressing her doubts, she quickly walked over and respectfully spoke: "Madam." Regardless of whether the wedding was completed, Ji Die would henceforth rightfully be the lady of the Qin Family. Ji Die responded faintly: "I’m thirsty; please bring me a glass of water soon. Thank you." With that, she linked arms with Yun Ya and headed upstairs. Aunt Wu was momentarily stunned before hurriedly responding. Ji Die had always given her the impression of being petty, but now she had put on a demeanor that made her appear quite dignified. What she didn’t know was how long Ji Die had stayed by Ji Lanyi’s side, suppressed by her, yet subtly influenced so that she could easily take on an air of superiority before those long-time humble servants whenever she wanted. A glimmer of a smile appeared in Yun Ya’s eyes; Aunt Die had finally come to her senses. Returning to the room, Yun Ya helped remove the wedding dress. Ji Die changed into a sky-blue embroidered qipao, perfectly outlining her graceful figure, adding to the delicate sophistication typical of a Jiangnan woman beneath her elegant features.
