Chapter 684: Challenging Each Other
Ji Yinbing thought that the other party was from the Ji family and answered the call without hesitation.
“Hello, I’m Ji Yinbing.” Her voice was as cold as spring water on the phone.
The person on the other end did not speak, but Ji Yinbing heard a dog bark.
Why wasn’t the person saying anything?
Yan Nuo unlocked the car. Ji Yinbing opened the passenger door and sat in. As she fastened her seatbelt, she said to the person on the other end in a deep voice, “I’ll hang up if you don’t speak.” She really meant it.
Realizing that Ji Yinbing was serious, a man’s urgent voice sounded. “It’s me!”
The voice was unfamiliar.
Ji Yinbing thought about it. She did not have any friends or relatives who could match the owner of this voice in her mind. She asked the person, “Who are you?”
There was silence on the other end before the man’s gritted voice sounded. “I’m Han Luofan.”
She had beaten him up, but she could not even remember his voice.
He had been beaten up for nothing.
Han Luofan’s heart turned cold.
Hearing this name, Ji Yinbing was stunned for a moment. She was a little surprised. “Mr. Han,” Ji Yinbing said, “If you’re asking me for medical fees, just leave your bank account number. I’ll transfer it to you later.”
After all, Han Luofan’s injuries were caused by her and Yan Nuo. If Han Luofan really wanted to ask for medical fees, Ji Yinbing could compensate him accordingly.
Upon hearing this, Han Luofan’s handsome face completely darkened.
“I don’t lack money. Thank you.” Han Luofan’s tone was cold and his mood was gloomy.
Ji Yinbing fell silent.
She asked again, “Then why are you looking for me?” Could it be that he had deliberately called to humiliate her? Ji Yinbing was on guard and was ready to counter Han Luofan’s provocation at any time. Han Luofan felt tired. He coughed and cleared his throat before saying, “I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“About my identity…”
Ji Yinbing said, “Sorry, I’m not interested.” Her voice sounded cold. Han Luofan heard her say, “If you’re going to tell me that you and Yuan Ting are mother and son, then I already know.”
Han Luofan smiled bitterly.
“I’m not Yuan Ting’s son,” Han Luofan said.
Ji Yinbing was a little surprised.
Could Ah Sheng really be mistaken?
Ji Yinbing’s thoughts lingered at meaning behind Han Luofan’s call. Since he was not Yuan Ting’s son, he was definitely Cai Jie and Han Bing’s son. No matter whose child he was, it had nothing to do with Ji Yinbing. Anyway, he was not her mother’s child.
Just as Ji Yinbing was thinking like she had nothing to lose, Han Luofan’s voice sounded on the phone. “I’m Ji Yue’s son.”
“Oh,” she said very calmly.
Han Luofan felt that Ji Yinbing’s reaction was too unrestrained.
Just an ‘oh’ and it was over?
Han Luofan was about to ask Ji Yinbing what she thought when he heard Ji Yinbing raise her voice and ask sharply, “What did you say!”
When Ji Yinbing said ‘oh’ just now, she was still in a daze. When she came back to her senses and realized that she had heard something incredible, she was so shocked that her voice changed.
Yan Nuo did not know what Han Luofan and Ji Yinbing had said. Seeing that Ji Yinbing was suddenly excited, he quickly stopped the car by the side. Yan Nuo looked at Ji Yinbing and asked in confusion, “What happened?”
Ji Yinbing raised her right index finger and placed it in the middle of her lips.
Yan Nuo immediately shut up.
The car was very quiet. Ji Yinbing turned on the radio. Yan Nuo and Ji Yinbing heard Han Luofan say at the same time, “I’m Ji Yue’s son, your… brother.” Han Luofan did not want to admit this fact. At the thought that his sister and brother-in-law had beaten him up so badly, Han Luofan’s heart ached.
Yan Nuo and Ji Yinbing looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
“How could this be…” Ji Yinbing murmured in a daze.
Han Luofan’s calm voice sounded again. He tried his best to use the simplest way to explain Ji Yinbing’s confusion. He said, “Back then, when Ji… Mother went missing, she was already pregnant. Yuan Ting knew about her pregnancy and wanted the child in her stomach, so she deliberately created the illusion that she had gone missing. Yuan Ting imprisoned Mother in an apartment building for more than seven months. After Mother gave birth to me, Yuan Ting carried me away and lied that I was her child. And Mother always thought that her child was born dead.”
“My mother went crazy because of this, so Yuan Ting carried me and threatened my father. But my father did not agree to marry her. All these years, my father had always thought that I was Yuan Ting’s son…” Han Luofan sighed and said, “My life has been quite rich too.”
His self-deprecation was not funny at all.
After Ji Yinbing heard this, she felt that it was absurd.
Previously, she had been puzzled as to why her mother would go crazy. She thought that her mother had gone crazy because she had received those insulting and violating actions. If what Han Luofan said was true, then the reason why her mother went crazy was solved.
Ji Yinbing took a deep breath and asked Han Luofan, “How did you know that you were my mother’s child? Perhaps you were born by Han Bing and another woman?” This was not impossible.
Han Luofan was a little angry.
He said unhappily, “He has had three women in his life. Our mother, Yuan Ting, and mother… and the current Madam Han. Whose child do you think I am?”
Ji Yinbing fell silent.
She did not speak, and Han Luofan had nothing to say.
Ji Yinbing looked at the building in front of her. In an instant, many things flashed across her mind. To be honest, she had experienced so many betrayals and prejudices from her family since she was young. She no longer had any expectations for family and blood ties.
Her father and two brothers were animals. In Ji Yinbing’s life, other than her mother, Yan Nuo and his sister were the people she valued and trusted the most.
Suddenly, a brother from the same mother but a different father descended from the sky. Ji Yinbing felt complicated.
It was impossible for her not to want to acknowledge this brother. She had no relatives now. She was alone and had no one to rely on. Han Luofan might be her only relative. Deep in her heart, she also yearned for family love. However, Ji Yinbing could not bring herself to acknowledge this brother with tears in her eyes. After all, they had fought not long ago.
Although she was the one who hit Han Luofan.
Ji Yinbing sighed. “I never thought that I would have an annoying brother like you.” Her first impression of people was deeply rooted. Ji Yinbing’s impression of Han Luofan was quite bad. The first time they spoke face to face, Han Luofan had slandered her respected mother. Ji Yinbing could not like Han Luofan.
Han Luofan opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but he was like a mute who had eaten yellow string and had nothing to say.
He still remembered how he had described Ji Yinbing’s mother that night. Thinking about it now, Han Luofan felt his face hurt.
