Chapter 688: Domineering
The houses were still the same. The environment was still harsh, but some of the people she had seen before were dead, some had grown up, and some had moved away.
Justin, Vikas, and Ji Yinbing’s father, Kulma, were still living in the old house back then. Yan Nuo had always asked people to pay attention to the news of the three of them.
Apparently, Vikas had taken a wife a few years earlier, and then the two of them always quarreled. There were three men in the family, and she was the only woman. She might have been treated unfairly, and she ran away in the end.
Two years ago, Justin had also gotten married. With the example of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, Justin didn’t dare point fingers at his wife, but the couple hadn’t been on good terms either. Justin had another child, a little girl named Lupa.
Kulma was not feeling well either. It was said that he was about to die and did not have two years to live because he had brain cancer.
Ji Yinbing stood at the door of the house she had lived in for eight years and was quite calm. After reaching her current status, the unhappy things in the past could no longer influence her emotions. She looked at these few houses and did not speak.
Han Luofan stood beside her and stared at the houses with a gloomy expression.
A little girl ran out of the house, wearing a small orange t-s.h.i.+rt and colorful pants. She ran out the back of the house and saw the strangers standing outside the door. She was curious. Lupa looked up at the three people who had suddenly visited her. She was afraid, but more curious.
She had rarely seen anyone dressed so elegantly in this region.
Lupa subconsciously looked at their wrists.
Han Luofan and Ji Yinbing’s arms were clean, except for Yan Nuo’s arm with a sacred thread. In India, only people with higher castes were qualified to wear the sacred thread. Lupa was a little surprised. She suddenly turned around and ran back to the house.
The three of them heard her talking to a woman in the house. A moment later, a woman in a navy blue T-s.h.i.+rt and black pants walked out. Her skin was slightly fairer than the other women in the slums, but she still looked dark when she stood in front of Ji Yinbing.
This was Lupa’s mother, Yingla.
Yinglara stopped Lupa from touching Yan Nuo before asking them, “Who are you looking for?” Yinglara felt that the woman in front of her looked familiar.
When Arosenge was still alive, Ji Yinbing had received a few television interviews. She was very famous in India at that time. When Yingla was young, she had watched an interview program and had once treated Ji Yinbing as an idol. However, after so many years, her former faith had long been smeared by her reality.
Yan Nuo remained silent.
It was Ji Yinbing who spoke. Her gaze landed on Little Lupa and she asked, “Is this Justin’s daughter?”
Yingla was surprised. “You know Justin?”
Ji Yinbing said, “I’m Sadaya.” Sadaya was Ji Yinbing’s name when she was young. When she said this name, she felt that it was unfamiliar.
Yingla’s eyes widened. “Wait a minute,” she said quickly. “I’ll call Justin and the others right back.”
The family of three, father and sons, worked in a paint factory not far from home. Yingla had an old phone at home. She called the factory before walking out of the house. Yan Nuo was of n.o.ble status, and Ji Yinbing was also of n.o.ble status now. Yingla stood in front of them and felt ashamed.
Ji Yinbing did not look at Yingluo again. She squatted down and patted Lupa’s head. She asked, “Do you know who I am?”
Lupa tilted her head, her brown eyes filled with curiosity and surprise.
She had never seen a woman as beautiful as Ji Yinbing.
Lupa shook her head. “I don’t know,” she said.
Yingla opened her mouth to tell Lupa that this was her aunt, but she was afraid that Ji Yinbing would mind. Ji Yinbing was different now. Yingla was afraid that Ji Yinbing would be angry if she asked Lupa to call her aunt.
Ji Yinbing took the initiative to say, “I’m your aunt.”
Lupa’s eyes widened.
“I’ve heard of you.” Lupa often heard her grandfather and father mention that aunt. Lupa was a child and had an innocent and kind heart. She whispered to Ji Yinbing, “Grandpa and the rest said that you were ungrateful and forgot about them when you became successful. He told me not to learn from you…”
As soon as the child said this, the expressions of everyone present changed. Yingla hurriedly covered Lupa’s mouth and scolded her in a low voice, telling her to shut up. Yan Nuo and Han Luofan frowned at the same time, clearly having a deep opinion of this family. Only Ji Yinbing, the person in question, reacted the most calmly.
At this moment, a few hurried and messy footsteps came from behind.
Ji Yinbing stood up, and the three of them turned around at the same time to see Vikas and the rest. The father and sons received a call and rushed back without caring about anything. Along the way, the three of them were still discussing Ji Yinbing’s sudden return.
Vikas said that Ji Yinbing had come to pick them up and take them to live a good life, but Justin thought that she was here to stir up old scores. Kulma felt that both her sons’ guesses were possible. He felt uneasy and had a feeling that Ji Yinbing was up to no good.
Ji Yinbing was wearing a yellow strapless dress today. Her skin was fair, and part of her black hair was draped over her shoulders. The other part was braided and tied behind her head. Her fair and exquisite face was completely revealed, and her expression was cold and arrogant.
The three of them were stunned when they saw real Ji Yinbing standing in front of them.
Was this still the skinny Sadaya from before?
Although they had seen Ji Yinbing on television before, the three of them subconsciously thought that it was the special effect of television. Their thin and ordinary Sadaya could not possibly look so dazzling and charming. But now, Ji Yinbing was standing in front of them, alive and kicking. They had to believe it.
Staring at Ji Yinbing, the father and sons had their own thoughts.
Ji Yinbing deeply understood how ruthless her three relatives were. Their cruelty and male chauvinism were carved into their bones and fused into their blood. It was impossible for them to change in this lifetime.
Ji Yinbing could not be bothered to talk to them. She walked straight to Kulma and asked in a harsh tone, “Where is my mother’s grave? Take us there.”
Kulma was stunned when he heard this. He was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and said, “I… I buried her body casually on a wild slope. How would I remember…”
“Don’t you remember?” Ji Yinbing’s gaze turned cold.
Vikas was dissatisfied with his sister’s att.i.tude. He reprimanded Ji Yinbing indignantly. “Sadaya, without a father, you wouldn’t be where you are today. What kind of att.i.tude is this?”
“You’re so successful now, why don’t you bring us out of this G.o.dforsaken place? You’re very rich now, right? I heard from others that you’re a famous virologist in the world now. You must have many big houses, right? We don’t want much. Just give us a house, a car, and find us a decent job…”
Upon hearing this, Han Luofan looked at Vikas as if he was looking at a r.e.t.a.r.d.
Yan Nuo stood behind Ji Yinbing in silence. He was Ji Yinbing’s strongest support at all times, and he was her harbor to avoid the wind and waves.
Vikas was still arrogantly saying his whimsical words. Ji Yinbing took a small step back from Yan Nuo’s position without batting an eyelid. She suddenly stretched out her right hand to Yan Nuo. Yan Nuo understood and took out a gun from his back, pa.s.sing it to Ji Yinbing.
Ji Yinbing twirled the gun in her palm. Her actions were handsome and cool.
She held the gun to Vikas’s brow while he was still chattering, and was expressionless. She said, “If you say another word, I’ll kill you.”
