Ji Yiyun had managed to get the inheritance with great difficulty, so naturally she was unwilling to hand it over so easily.

"There is no inheritance at all. It cost a lot of money to take care of you three siblings. We also had to clean and maintain the villa regularly. In addition, we have been providing money to your father's Ji Group. The inheritance is gone long ago." Ji Yiyun said.

"It's okay. I brought an accountant with me. He will help your aunt figure out how much has been spent and how much is left." Ji Tingyang looked at the man carrying a briefcase behind him.

The man immediately stepped forward and took out a computer from his briefcase. "Miss Ji, could you please provide me with the receipts you mentioned?"

Ji Yiyun hesitated, "I, I don't have the receipt..."

"It doesn't matter. The bills can all be replaced. If all else fails, we can go to the bank and get a statement of the past ten years and compare them one by one," said the man.

Ji Yiyun froze.

"It looks like it will take a long time. I have something else to do so I'll leave first. Thank you for your hard work in settling the bill, aunt." Ji Tingyang stood up and just took two steps outside when he stopped.

As if remembering something, he turned to the accountant and said, "By the way, this villa was also bought with my parents' inheritance. Please remember to include it in the calculation."

Ji Yiyun's face suddenly turned pale.

……

After Ji Tingyang got the key to the villa, he came to the villa alone.

The front and back yards of the villa were overgrown with weeds as they had not been cleaned for more than ten years. He pushed the door open and saw thick dust floating in the house with the flowing air.

He walked slowly in the villa, his eyes scanning the familiar layout and furniture around him.

On the big sofa in the living room, Lin Xu always hugged him to watch TV together, and liked to complain to him about the confusing behavior of the male and female protagonists in the TV series.

"In the future, our Tingyang must not yell at girls like him. We must be a polite and good boy." Lin Xu's gentle voice echoed in his ears.

On the large dining table, after breakfast, Lin Xu would always give him a glass of milk, "You must drink more milk so that you can grow taller and be strong, so that you can protect your younger brothers and sisters."

There are also memories of him and Lin Xu planting flowers in the weed-covered backyard.

"Tingyang, look, there are loaches here." Lin Xu pointed at the loaches moving in the soil and asked him to look.

"Don't be afraid, Mom. I will protect you." He thought Lin Xu was afraid of insects, so he grabbed the loach with his little hands and threw it far away.

Lin Xu's lips were slightly smiling, her smile was graceful and moving, "Our Tingyang is great, he is mommy's little hero."

What did he say then?

He said that he wanted to be a little hero who protected his mother all his life.

But in the end he couldn't do anything.

There are too many beautiful memories in the villa, and the more beautiful they are, the more uncomfortable his chest feels.

It was as if he was hit by a heavy hammer or burned by a hot iron. The pain went deep into his bones and was unbearable.

Ji Tingyang clenched his hands at his sides and went up the stairs to the second floor.

He walked to the door of the master bedroom, his hand resting on it, his dark and deep eyes filled with struggle.

After a long while, he finally made up his mind and pushed the door open and walked in.

What comes into view is the family portrait of their family of five.

His fingertips brushed across the photo frame, raising a cloud of dust and revealing Lin Xu's smiling face.

Ji Tingyang's eyes suddenly felt warm and he quickly looked away without looking any further.

There were too many traces of his parents' lives in the room, which easily evoked his memories.

He clutched the clothes in front of his chest, sweat oozing from his forehead. He didn't dare to stay any longer and left the villa in a hurry.

He lowered his head and bumped into someone on the road nearby in panic.

Ji Tingyang said sorry and was about to leave when he heard a hesitant voice from that person.

"Ji Tingyang?"

Ji Tingyang turned his head.

The girl looked at him with eyes as clear as water, revealing a hint of happiness and shyness between her brows.

"Do we know each other?" Ji Tingyang frowned slightly.

"I'm Wen Li. I often brought you breakfast when we were in elementary school. But we were only friends for a few months before you transferred to another school." Wen Li still feels a little regretful when she thinks about it now.

"It's you..." Ji Tingyang murmured softly.

The girl who looks like his mother.

"You remembered me?" Wen Li smiled, the warm sun casting a layer of tenderness on her face, "I didn't expect that you have grown so tall after not seeing you for so long. No one will dare to bully you now, right?"

In a trance.

Ji Tingyang seemed to hear Lin Xu's gentle and smiling voice in his ears, "It's been so long since we last met. Our Tingyang has grown so tall. No one will dare to bully his younger brothers and sisters, right?"

His breath hitched.

Before Wen Li could react, her hand was suddenly pulled and unexpectedly crashed into a hard and solid chest.

Ji Tingyang held her body tightly, buried his head in her shoulders, and tried his best to relieve the pain that had just been suppressed in his heart, "Well... now no one dares to bully us anymore..."

Wen Li's face was filled with surprise, and an unnatural blush crept up on the tips of her ears. "You, what's wrong with you?"

Are you so happy to see her again?

When they were little, he was always cold and she once thought that he didn't like being friends with her. But now it seems that is not the case?

Wen Li's eyes curved like crescent moons, "Where do you live now? Let's exchange contact information. We can hang out together when we have time in the future."

"it is good."

……

Two more days passed.

Ji Tingyang hired a few cleaners to clean the villa inside and out, and then he moved back with Ji Zeqiu and Ji Yuqiao.

Ji Yuqiao had never seen a villa before and was very curious about the decoration here. She walked around inside again and again.

"Brother, this place is so big. The bathroom is bigger than any bedroom we've lived in before." Ji Yuqiao looked a little excited.

Ji Tingyang smiled and said, "The bedroom on the second floor will be bigger, let's go and have a look?"

"Can I choose a bedroom I like?" Ji Yuqiao asked.

Ji Tingyang paused and said, "You can live in the second to last room on the second floor."

That bedroom was where my sister used to live.

After hearing this, Ji Zeqiu looked up at Ji Tingyang, then silently carried his luggage back to his former bedroom.

It took a lot of time and effort to get the inheritance back. Ji Tingyang and Ji Yiyun fought a lawsuit for nearly three months before he got the inheritance back from Ji Yiyun.

Not only did he auction off the villa she lived in, but he also took back the shares of Ji Group.

"That's great, we finally got our parents' things back." To celebrate, Ji Zeqiu bought a small firecracker.

The fireworks exploded with a "bang" and colorful papers fell from the sky.

The three siblings were celebrating the new life they were about to start, no longer having to live in a place like before.

However, no one expected that the relationship between the three of them would be broken because of someone.
