In the Jin Family's villa.
"It's fine that he didn't come back for a meal, but now he's missing. Everyone is worried about him." A woman with heavy makeup was sitting on the sofa and playing with her nails. Her voice was not loud, but in the quiet hall, everyone could hear her clearly.
On the main seat, Old Master Jin's eyes flickered. He ignored the woman and looked at the man beside her.
The man awkwardly called out his father and reached out to push the woman beside him. "Speak less."
The woman seemed a little reluctant, but she didn't dare to say anything.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Jin Family burst into laughter. "Dad, the second son's wife is right. Jin Fengchen is an adult now. He'll be fine. Maybe his phone is out of power."
The old man didn't say a word. He glanced at the dozen or so people in the room and took in their expressions. He sighed slightly and was about to speak when the bell rang at the gate.
Mrs. Jin immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Jin Nian must be back. I'll go open the door."
Jin Nian was indeed back, and she was holding a child who looked as delicate as a doll in her arms!
Her soft, curly hair rested on Jin Nian's body. Her fair and tender face was buried in Jin Nian's weak shoulders, revealing only her long eyelashes.
"What's this?" Old Master Jin's tone softened a little, but the majesty and aggressiveness in his tone were the accumulation of time and could not be gotten rid of.
"Dad." Jin Nian deliberately lowered his voice. There was a hint of green in this fifteen-year-old boy's voice. "This is Third Sister's child. I have promised Third Sister that I will take care of her."
"Are you crazy?" Before the old man could speak, the eldest son's wife screamed.
Third Miss's family and the Jin family had been friends for generations. When Third Miss was young, her parents were unfortunately framed and passed away. Old Master Jin treated Third Miss as his own daughter, but unfortunately, they parted in discord...
"Jin Nian, are you trying to piss your grandfather off?" The eldest son of the Jin family steadied his wife and chided her harshly.
"I'm not crazy. I know what I'm doing." The young man frowned slightly, as if he was a little disgusted by her scream. The little fellow in his arms seemed to be frightened, snorting and drilling into his arms.
Jin Nian's eyes were very soft. He patted her petite body gently, as if he was treating a peerless treasure with great care.
"Where is she? How could she agree to let you raise her?"
Old Master Jin asked after a moment of silence.
"Third Sister has passed away." Jin Nian lowered her head and focused on the child in her arms, as if she could see Third Sister's stubborn and bright eyes through her.
"What?" The bead in Old Master Jin's hand suddenly made a sharp sound, which was enough to show how surprised this man was.
His body only shook slightly, which made people feel that it was an illusion. "How... how did she die?"
Jin Nian stared into Old Master Jin's turbid eyes as if he could see through his heart. "Third Sister has cancer."
The old man didn't say anything else. He quietly looked at the beads and jade chains on his hands and slowly got up in everyone's quiet eyes. He seemed to have become much older all of a sudden.
"She must be surnamed Jin."
Old Master Jin said those words and went straight upstairs. The whole family looked at Old Master Jin's straight back and looked at each other. They exchanged glances before returning to their rooms.
It was obvious that Old Master Jin was waiting for this beloved youngest son of his, but he didn't expect the man's compromise.
Everyone understood more or less that the rumors back then might not be fake. Furthermore, Jin Nian held an extraordinary status in Old Master Jin's heart.
For the sake of giving birth to Jin Nian, Old Master Jin doted on this old man very much. He couldn't wait to bring up the best things in his hands. Of course, this included the Jin Group.
Jin Nian had no time to worry about the other people who had evil intentions. She carried the child to her own room.
His footsteps were very slow, but the little fellow had not slept well after the scream. When she felt the sound, she immediately opened her eyes wide and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
A pair of cute, grape-like eyes were full of tears, as if she would cry for you if you didn't coax me.
It was rare for Jin Nian to have a headache. He didn't have a headache in the face of complicated problems, nor did he have a headache in the case of the unstable stock situation. He didn't feel any headache in the face of Old Master Jin's power.
However... the little guy's eyes were pink, and his mouth was as flat as a small kettle, looking like he was going to cry. Only then did Jin Nian feel that his decision was indeed a little hasty.
"What's wrong?" Jin Nian tried his best to look gentle as he walked into the room. Only God knew that he had never tried so hard to restrain himself.
The little thing in his arms looked very obedient, but when he put her on his big black bed, it cried out in panic.
"Wow..."
She cried so hard that tears and snot welled up in her eyes. Jin Nian let go of her and wanted to take some paper to wipe her face, but the little girl hung her hands and feet on him, looking like she was going to part with him forever.
Looking at the little girl's dependence and grievance, Jin Nian had to pick her up with one hand and get a tissue with the other, gently wiping her crying face.
"Don't leave Luo. Luo is very obedient..." The child cried so hard that he could not speak properly. He refused to let go of Jin Nian's clothes. Jin Nian sighed. Sure enough, the way his Third Sister left frightened the child, which made her so insecure.
Jin Nian took her into her arms and coaxed her in a soft voice while shaking her gently. In his eyes, this child who had lost his mother just like him was left alone.
Jin Nian couldn't help but hug her even more tightly when she thought of how she had threatened and questioned her, but she hadn't said her name even when she was dead.
Third Sister really didn't want to have anything to do with the Jin Family. She would rather give up her beloved child than say anything to him. Besides, she didn't have an incurable cancer. Even if it was an incurable disease, the Jin Family was so rich that they could live longer.
Old Master Jin loved Third Young Miss Jin, Jin Jianan, the most. Jin Jianan was the most outstanding woman in the Jin family. Even though it was the result of Old Master Jin's love, Mrs. Jin's heart softened when she heard the soft little thing call her mother in a soft voice. She kept the child under her knees.
For the rest of his life, Old Master Jin felt that he owed his wife because of this child.
Looking at the child who was gradually calming down, Jin Nian was a little confused about the future-what could he do if he could protect her for a while? Could he protect her for the rest of his life?
