Chapter 152: Chapter 152: His Redemption
Ji Muye always interacted with his children on the basis of equality and never imposed his own thoughts on them because Ji Chao and Ji Ze were young.
His gaze was gentle, “You say, Daddy is listening.”
Ji Chao took a deep breath and said, “I know, it’s all because Daddy doesn’t like Mommy, so they bully her.”
“Because they know, no one will protect Mommy.”
When he said this, his voice was filled with emotions of sadness for Lu Xining, causing Ji Muye’s thoughts to suddenly pause.
His throat was dry, and he looked down and hoarsely said, “Why would Xiao Chao think that Daddy… doesn’t like Mommy?”
Ji Chao furrowed his brows and thought seriously before answering.
“Because Daddy never accompanies Mommy to banquets, doesn’t kiss her before leaving the house, nor does he hug her when he returns.”

“At every meal, it’s only Mommy, me, and my brother. I often see Mommy hiding in her room, crying secretly.”
Ji Muye felt a pang in his heart upon hearing this!
He thought of the now coldly spoken Lu Xining and then of how she smiled and looked forward to their children’s birth when they just got married. He sharply realized that she hadn’t become disheartened overnight.
Ji Chao, though young, had a good memory.
He bowed his head despondently and said, “Daddy, actually, I am at fault as well.”
“I know Mommy doesn’t like Aunt Liu, but I still didn’t stop my brother from interacting with Aunt Liu, which wasn’t right.”
“After all, Mommy is our real mother, isn’t she?”
Ji Chao’s words struck Ji Muye like lightning, splitting his thoughts. The child understood the principle, yet he only realized it after the divorce.
Upon hearing Ji Chao’s words, Ji Ze looked down, saddened.
He used to complain about Mommy forbidding him from eating snacks or staying up late, and he preferred the gentle Aunt Xixi. How sad must Mommy have been back then?
In his children’s eyes, Ji Muye had always been a hero; they believed their father could do anything.
Suppressing the bitterness in his heart, he gently touched Ji Chao’s head and asked in a soft voice, “Does Xiao Chao have anything else he wants to tell Daddy?”
Ji Chao pursed his lips and shook his head, “Daddy, you should rest early, too; my brother and I are going back to our room.”
Despite the child’s words, Ji Muye still escorted them back to their room before he returned to his bedroom, leaned on the couch without turning on the lights, and let his emotions spread across his face in the darkness.

When Lu Xining returned to the car, Little Dumpling had already fallen asleep in Monkey’s arms, covered with a little fox blanket.
When Monkey handed the child to Lu Xining, it woke up Little Dumpling. He lowered his voice and said, “Sister Ning, let me hold her, she just fell asleep.”
Lu Xining nodded.
After settling her daughter back at the Lu Family, she went to the study where Monkey was already waiting for her.
Lu Xining told him about Mu Cen.
“He looked at you strangely. Have you ever met him before?”
“No, I only lived in the country when I was a kid, then moved abroad with my foster father, and haven’t been back to the country for over ten years.”
He also returned to the country occasionally to pick up Lu Xining and Little Dumpling for treatment at the laboratory in Country C, spending most other times abroad.
“He might have seen you when you were a child.”
That evening, if not for Mu Cen’s heavy fear and murderous intent in his eyes towards Monkey, Lu Xining might not have noticed his abnormal behavior.
Before being adopted and taken out of the country by his foster father, Monkey always lived in the orphanage in Fuxian, the closest county to Yunqiao Village.
When she was young, visiting Yunqiao Village with her grandmother, she had also been to that orphanage for charity.
Lu Xining had known him back then, a loner by nature, always on his own, often covered in wounds.
She took the initiative to talk to him, but he always avoided her, until the day she left Fuxian Orphanage, he still hadn’t let his guard down around her.
Since he never spoke and was as skinny as a monkey, she secretly nicknamed him in her heart.
After that, she sponsored children from the orphanage every year with her pocket money, sending him letters, books, toys, and snacks, but she never received any replies from him.
“Okay, I’ll arrange for someone to investigate.”
Lu Xining asked curiously, “Monkey, before you were adopted by your foster father and named ‘Fu Junhang’, what was your real name?”
Monkey shook his head, “I didn’t have a name, the director called me Xiao Hei, because I was always grimy and looked very dark.”
It was only after being adopted by his foster father that he got his own name.
Lu Xining asked him, “So, do you have no memory of your life before you appeared at the orphanage?”
She had learned from the orphanage director that Monkey was already four or five years old when he arrived at the orphanage, so he should have had some memories.
Fu Junhang sighed, “None.”
Too much time had passed, and he didn’t know if he had forgotten or lost his memory, but either way, it wasn’t very important to him now.
He rarely smiled, and said, “Do you know why I chose the nickname Monkey for myself?”
This Lu Xining really didn’t know.
Despite having the handsome name “Fu Junhang,” he still had everyone call him Monkey.
“Because you named me that.”
“Maybe you’ve forgotten, but you once muttered under your breath, ‘Little Monkey is so stubborn.’ My hearing has been very good since I was young, and I remembered that.”
Back then, due to his low self-esteem, he was too scared to speak to Lu Xining, and every time she brought him food, he’d see her clean hands compared to his grimy ones, and he would curl up and ignore her.
After she left, he would wash his hands clean every day, but she never appeared in front of him again.
Later, the director brought him letters Lu Xining had written to him, and seeing her neat writing on the white paper made him feel more inadequate, as he hadn’t started school yet and couldn’t read.
“I was illiterate back then and couldn’t understand what you wrote, so I could only have the director read them to me.”
Lu Xining was only a year or two older than Fu Junhang.
But back then, the Lu family hadn’t gone bankrupt, and she had started learning from teachers early, knowing more than her peers.
“So… this is why you never replied to my letters?”
Fu Junhang said helplessly, “What do you expect from an illiterate?”
Since receiving the first letter, he had seized every learning opportunity, endlessly practicing his writing, just to be able to write as well as she did.
However, before he could send out that letter, he was adopted by his foster father, taken abroad, and lost contact with her.
She nodded, finally learning the truth of those years.
The now tall and muscular Fu Junhang was no longer the small, pitiable figure from back then; slim in clothes but muscular in build, his body was well-built without appearing overly bulky, radiating strength.
But to him back then, she was his salvation, showing him the beauty and brightness of the world.
“Sister Ning, do you remember back in Yunqiao Village when I told you that several groups were secretly gathering your information?”
Lu Xining nodded, “I remember.”
Fu Junhang said seriously, “Port City Zhou Family, they are one of those groups.”
“It’s not Zhou Jiawang, but his mother… Feng Suli.”
