Chapter 143 Is Mother Not Grandmother's Biological Child?
Chapter 143 Is Mother Not Grandmother's Biological Child?
But he didn't rush to ask. Judging from Afei's expression, he should know the inside story.
Just go back and ask him.
He wanted to hear more of Mu Yunya's innermost thoughts, and he wanted to expose all her secrets!
Mu Zhen was in a good mood at the moment, so she readily agreed to the other party's request.
He explained that he would return the earring to Huangfu Zique after he was discharged from the hospital. It would take a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, so he could still use the earring for another hundred days.
At least until he and Yun Dan successfully join the World Chamber of Commerce.
That place isn't something you can get into just by having a certain amount of assets; you need a recommendation from a high-ranking official inside.
However, the issue of a token indicating the next successor of the Chamber of Commerce is a different story.
'Buzz buzz buzz!'
He took out his phone and saw that it was a text message from Yun Dan. He went over and sat on the sofa, peeling an apple for Mu Yunfei while checking the message.
Yun Dan: "I'm almost in the city. Shall we go pick up the Bai family together? I heard the seafood there is caught fresh from the sea that day."
"Shall we go try it together?"
Mu Zhen: "Okay, come pick me up in three hours. We'll have lunch there."
Let's go together, and we can also meet the two main characters from the original story.
The ward fell silent again.
Thinking of something, Mu Yunfei deliberately brought up the attack on Huangfu Zique, wanting to see if Mu Yunya knew about it: "Are you 100% sure that those assassins were sent by your uncle?"
If it were someone else, wouldn't Zique still be in great danger?
Huangfu Zique followed Mu Yunfei's gaze to Mu Yunya. "Afei is talking to me, why are you looking at Mu Yunya?"
Huangfu Zique quickly found the answer.
Mu Zhen peeled off a piece of apple skin, her ears perked up, eager to see how Huangfu Zique would handle the matter.
The person was definitely sent by Uncle Huangfu, so why is the plot unfolding ahead of schedule? This is so strange.
I didn't incite any butterfly effect, did I?
In the first and second playthroughs, Uncle Huangfu clearly didn't make a move until a year later. So why did the old man make a move earlier in the third playthrough?
It's not a good thing when the plot deviates from its original trajectory!
Huangfu Zique fell completely silent, not daring to breathe loudly for fear of disturbing the other party.
This person can actually foresee the future? He even knew that his uncle would attack him?
Mu Zhen stopped paying attention to Huangfu Zique after waiting for a long time without receiving a response.
Mu Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he could lock onto a specific target. He didn't want to lose any of his four brothers.
Because these are the only few friends he can truly confide in.
Huangfu Zique is indeed very stingy outside, but he is very generous to them. If it weren't for his own reasons, Zique wouldn't have thought of going to Mu Yunya after his accident.
He's the one who ruined him.
Sigh! Although it feels not bad, a mistake is a mistake, so let's make up for it in another way.
Let's see if we can get some more useful information out of him!
"Even if you don't speak, you can't be 100% sure? And did your cousin really betray you?"
Mu Yunfei admitted that he was not as thoughtful as Emperor Tianhuang.
But he always felt that things weren't that simple. Mu Yunya was right when she said that he liked to assume the worst about anyone who might betray him.
My cousin betrayed me, but what about my grandmother?
If Grandma also has ill intentions, then given how much Zique favors that old lady... he might very well continue to stumble.
After all, it's harder to guard against someone stabbing you in the back when you're closest to them.
Of course, if possible, he hoped to hear from Mu Yunya that it was just a misunderstanding and that his cousin had not betrayed Zique.
Otherwise, if Zique makes a wrong judgment and accidentally injures his cousin, he and his maternal grandmother's family may very well turn against each other.
If that's the case, wouldn't this kid be heartbroken?
Mu Zhen was surprised.
How much have they uncovered in such a short time? The power of capital is indeed not to be underestimated.
However, they could only find one cousin at most, little did they know that the real mastermind behind all this was more than just one cousin.
It's the entire Zhao family!
Mu Yunfei sighed inwardly, "Just as I thought, the Zhao family is Aunt Huangfu's maternal family."
Does it include the entire Zhao family, including all those distant relatives?
Zi Que's maternal grandmother always lived in the countryside, but the Zhao family was large and prosperous.
There are too many relatives to count, and all of them have now been assigned to various positions in the Huangfu family's businesses.
It's a true case of even the chickens and dogs rising to heaven.
A fierce glint flashed in Huangfu Zique's lowered eyes.
He could allow Mu Yunya to slander him, but he wouldn't allow her to slander his grandmother. Just as he was about to glare at her, he heard a cough from the next bed.
He knew very well what that cough sound meant.
What does that mean? Afei actually believed that woman's words?
Mu Zhen's inner thoughts continued.
Grandma Huangfu was quite a figure; despite being illiterate, she was very lucky.
Just buy a child, and the whole family benefits.
Genes are irreversible. Madam Huangfu's parents were among the top figures in the capital's business circle.
The children born are naturally extraordinary, even if they are trapped in the countryside.
Even with his clever mind, he could still carve out a path to success in the capital.
Huangfu Zique gritted his teeth to hold back from asking the question: How could his mother be a child bought by the Zhao family?
However, my maternal grandmother did give birth to my mother in Kyoto before returning to her hometown. At that time, my maternal grandmother was indeed pregnant, and everyone in the village knew about it.
The villagers told him these stories often, saying that his mother was a lucky child.
Although the baby was not in the correct position at the time, the maternal grandparents had been married for several years before finally having a child, and they couldn't bear to abort it.
So she spent most of her savings to have a C-section in the capital.
Since the birth of her mother, the Zhao family has had a string of children. The second pregnancy resulted in two boys, and the third and fourth pregnancies were also all boys.
The villagers would tell him these stories as if they were legends.
Why is it that when it comes to Mu Yunya, her mother becomes the child bought by the Zhao family?
My mother also said that the Zhao family used to treat her very well, even though other close relatives of the Zhao family were very sexist, only my maternal grandparents were not.
When their mother wanted to go to school, they tightened their belts and sold everything they owned to support her.
She held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but retort: "Only my third cousin harmed me."
It has nothing to do with my maternal grandparents; my maternal grandparents loved my mom and me the most.
If it weren't for my grandmother's open-mindedness and generosity, my mother would still be toiling in the fields for a living!
Mu Zhen pouted.
The fourth male lead is indeed the most naive of the five male leads.
Anyone whose family has a child prodigy would place their hopes on the other person, right?
Lady Huangfu not only spoke earlier than other children, but also consistently ranked first in her studies.
At the age of eight, he was already helping the village chief plan the village's development.
She started junior high school at the age of ten, and later received so many scholarships that she couldn't keep up with the demand.
Why did Huangfu's maternal grandmother allow her to study in the capital?
It's simply impossible to control them, isn't it? By then, the villagers had already reaped considerable benefits from Madam Huangfu.
The old woman wanted to send the person to another city, but she needed the villagers' consent.
That's Donghuang Academy; not just anyone can get in.
With the village chief asking, "Does your family want to go against the whole village?" how could the old lady not compromise?
After all, the villagers had donated a lot of money to help pay for Madam Huangfu's tuition over the years.
Now the old lady can't even get her money back.
If we were to say who Lady Huangfu's greatest benefactor was, it wouldn't be her maternal family.
Rather, it's that visionary village chief who, if he were to actually move to another city to develop his career...
In the first playthrough, it was impossible to reunite with my biological parents later on.
And he'll be dragged down by a whole family of vampires for the rest of his life.
As mentioned in the text, the village chief argued with Huangfu's grandmother and her family quite a bit to prevent them from holding Huangfu's wife back.
He even led the entire village in a confrontation with Huangfu's maternal grandmother.
However, it turned out that Lady Huangfu's status had risen far too high.
That's why the villagers never told her about these messy things.
