A Little Trick, the Scumbag Dad Can’t Hold the Knife After Understanding Love

The revelation came when Chen Mo revealed he was Ji Nian's uncle.

She had just finished her homework when Da Dan came upstairs to find her, asking her to play ball with him. Ji Nian then came downstairs with him.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she heard the shocking news.@@novelbin@@

Hiding with the dog around the corner, the moment she heard that voice, Ji Nian recognized its owner.

It was the same voice that was so captivating and full of charm when reciting ancient poetry, a voice that had made her think he would be perfect as a singer the first time she heard it.

Her Chinese teacher, Mo Chen.

Listening to Chen Mo's voice shifting from calm, to questioning, to disbelief, and finally to a hoarse tone, Ji Nian lowered her head, pondering.

【So, Mo Chen is actually the head of the Chen Family, which was once at odds with the Ji Family. Someone deceived him, making him believe that my mother's death was caused by Zhou Zhou.】

【According to him, the original company should have been lost, and he has built everything from scratch these years, apparently wanting to seek revenge on Zhou Zhou.】

【Maybe that's why he came to our school as a teacher, to get close to me?】

But something went wrong, and he discovered that Ji Nian was actually his little niece, the daughter of his sister.

【Back then, Mo Chen's sister wanted a child, so she had in vitro fertilization, and then I was born. But she was harmed and eventually died during childbirth.】

【Zhi Liao Zi said I was left on the doorstep of the Ji Family when I was a baby.】

【So this person’s identity is very suspicious…】

【Either they are the murderer, or they know who the real murderer is.】

Subconsciously analyzing the situation, Ji Nian played with her hair, thinking: 【No wonder the first time I met Mo Chen, besides finding him handsome, I also felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to him.】

【So he’s my uncle…】

She also noticed another thing.

In the original story, Ji Nian's existence was not very important, mostly just briefly mentioned, described as an unanticipated child, seen as a blemish by Ji Tingzhou.

She had wondered how Ji Tingzhou, who was so young, could have a child as old as her. Now, with the knowledge of in vitro fertilization, it made sense.

But why would Ji Tingzhou, who was so young back then, undergo in vitro fertilization… Since it was referred to as a 'disgrace' in the original story, it must not have been a good thing.

【What a tragic family…】

And her biological mother, who didn't even get to live to see her child.

A company CEO, with a house and a car, must have been a smart and capable person. Being her child might have been a blessing…

"…What a pity."

Ji Nian whispered softly.

Until the conversation on the other side came to a brief pause, she stepped out.

Emerging from the shadows, the calmness on her face disappeared, replaced by a look of confusion and slight helplessness.

Ji Nian's appearance did not go unnoticed.

The squelching sound of her little duck-shaped slippers on the floor echoed clearly in the heavily oppressive atmosphere.

Both men on the couch looked up.

Chen Mo immediately stood up.

Dispelling his previous despondency, his sickly pale face showed a hint of uneasiness.

No one knew when Ji Nian had arrived.

But seeing the familiar teacher, a normal child's reaction would not be this expression.

There was only one explanation.

She had heard everything.

Almost immediately, Chen Mo realized this, his gaze fixed on her, filled with anticipation but even more with unease.

He didn't know if Ji Nian would accept him.

Accept this uncle who had disappeared for seven years and only now resurfaced.

Ji Nian wore a light blue off-the-shoulder top with white wide-legged pants adorned with pink polka dots. Her hair, tied in two braids for convenience while doing homework, gave her a more homely look than she usually did at school.

Next to her crouched a large dog, baring its teeth and glaring at Chen Mo.

"What are you standing there for? Come here."

Seeing her just standing there, Ji Tingzhou gestured for her to come over.

Under Chen Mo's overly intense gaze, Ji Nian obediently walked over and sat down next to Ji Tingzhou.

Before anyone could say anything, she actively showed her clean hands to her father.

"I've washed them."

Ji Tingzhou nodded slightly, indicating he had seen.

"Finished your homework?"

Ji Nian nodded: "Yes, not much today."

"The pet groomer will be here soon, don't let Da Dan play ball anymore."

Ignoring the intense gaze from the other side that seemed almost invasive, Ji Tingzhou continued conversing with the child.

Ji Nian wanted to secretly glance at Chen Mo next to her, feeling it wasn't quite right to ignore him, but a look from Ji Tingzhou made her dare not to look.

"Okay~"

It seemed Da Dan understood, as its ears drooped and it rolled onto its back.

At that moment, Ji Tingzhou seemed to remember Chen Mo's presence and casually asked Ji Nian: "You heard everything?"

Although he didn't specify what, Ji Nian immediately understood what he was referring to.

"Yes."

She nodded obediently.

At this point, Chen Mo could no longer hold back.

"Ji Nian…"

His voice drew Ji Nian's attention, giving her a legitimate reason to look at him.

Perhaps the conversation with Ji Tingzhou had truly deeply affected him; his dark eyes now carried a haggard expression.

"I’m sorry… It sounds like an excuse, but before, I really didn’t know about your existence."

"My name is not Mo Chen; it’s Chen Mo."

"My sister Chen Yueling was your mother… I’m your uncle."

He cautiously looked at Ji Nian opposite him, his gaze filled with pleading and guilt.

Ji Nian also looked back at him seriously: "I know, I heard what the teacher said earlier."

As expected, she didn't call him "uncle" directly. Knowing he couldn't rush, Chen Mo still couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed.

But still… Teacher is good.

It's better than being called a stranger.

"Your mother… She always looked forward to your birth. She didn't abandon you; it was an accident that forced her to separate from you."

Chen Mo explained a few things, at least hoping that Ji Nian wouldn't misunderstand his sister.

Chen ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‍Yueling was the most looking forward to Ji Nian's birth in the entire world.

Ji Nian understood his intentions.

She had indeed wondered before whether her birth mother had some unspeakable difficulties.

But no matter what, both the original owner and herself had never resented or disliked her.

The title of "mother" should never be a shackle on a woman.

But Ji Nian had never considered that her mother had died as a victim.

"Mo Chen, you mentioned earlier that you had seen her body and knew my mother’s cause of death was childbirth."

"So why didn’t you know about my existence?"

Chen Mo was somewhat surprised that Ji Nian could focus on this key point amidst such a large amount of information, and her emotions seemed quite calm.

But then he thought, right, she has always been a clever child, precocious and different from other kids at school.

Despite previously refusing to admit it, Chen Mo had indeed been watching her closely, observing many things.

"Besides you, she also gave birth to a male infant."

"You are twins."

"That child was born and died with his mother, while you, who survived, were taken away without my knowledge."
