Chapter 188 Uncle Ma Reveals the Truth
"Boss, something bad has happened! Xinglan seems to be in trouble." Xue Bai immediately told Gu Ye the news.
"What are you saying?" Gu Ye exclaimed in surprise, grabbing Xue Bai's collar. "What's going on?"
"Xiaoxiao said that Xinglan was not feeling well, so Mr. and Mrs. Chu took her to the lounge to rest, but she disappeared."
"Damn it!" Gu Ye roared, then immediately ordered, "Send men to search immediately!"
"Yes, I'll take care of it right away." Xue Bai didn't dare to delay.
Ye Xiaoxiao, who was standing to the side, was also extremely anxious. If she had known that something like this would happen, she would have stayed by her side every step of the way.
Upon receiving the message from the female caregiver, Grandpa Ming quickly arrived at the ward and was overjoyed to see that Uncle Ma had indeed woken up.
"Little Ma, you're really awake. It's good that you're awake. It's good that you're awake."
Grandpa Ming held Uncle Ma's hand as if he were facing his own son, tears streaming down his face.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry to have worried you." Uncle Ma felt a little guilty and struggled to get up, but Grandpa Ming quickly held him down.
"Don't move, just lie there."
"No, sir, there's something I want to tell you." Uncle Ma still insisted on struggling to sit up.
The female caregiver quickly helped him up and put a backrest behind him so that he could sit still.
He glanced at Old Master Ming, somewhat worried that someone his age might not be able to handle such a blow.
"What do you want to say?" Seeing Uncle Ma's serious expression, Old Master Ming knew that what he was about to say must be very serious.
He's been through so many serious things, what's there to be afraid of?
"Xiao Ma, just say what you want to say." His expression relaxed.
"I was pushed down the stairs by Miss Mingyin, and she even tried to kill me."
Grandpa Ming was shocked. Ming Yin wanted to kill Uncle Ma? This…
Although he was prepared to face all the realities, Uncle Ma's words were completely unexpected and beyond his imagination.
How could his well-behaved and sensible granddaughter do such a thing, especially since the person she wanted to kill was Uncle Ma, who had watched her grow up and was like a father to her?
"Could there be some misunderstanding here?" Old Master Ming asked after a long pause.
He preferred to believe there must be some misunderstanding rather than believe his beloved granddaughter would do such a thing.
“Mingyin is well-behaved and sensible. She usually takes good care of small animals. Let alone a person, how could she possibly want to kill you?”
Uncle Ma shook his head: "This is all an act that Miss Mingyin puts on in front of you. In reality, she is willful and capricious. She either scolds or beats the servants. The servants in the house treat her like cats are seeing mice."
"Is what you're saying... true?" Old Master Ming didn't believe it. It wasn't that he didn't believe Uncle Ma, but that he couldn't believe his beloved granddaughter could be such a person.
As if to confirm, Old Master Ming turned around and looked at the others around him.
Those people all lowered their heads and didn't say a word.
Old Master Ming was such a sharp-witted person; he immediately knew what was going on.
He was deeply shocked. How could his beloved granddaughter be like this? What went wrong?
"Grandpa, hang in there." Uncle Ma was even more worried when he saw that Grandpa Ming looked terrible, fearing that what was to come would be even more unbearable for him.
But since it concerns the old man's bloodline, he has to tell him, but he can only do it gradually and can't tell him the result all at once, for fear that the old man might not be able to bear it.
"It seems I'm really getting old. I can't even raise my own granddaughter properly, and she's become a dishonest and hypocritical person."
Old Master Ming sighed helplessly.
"It's not your fault. It's just that Miss Mingyin's flaws are inherent and have nothing to do with you," Uncle Ma comforted Old Master Ming.
"Tell me, why did Mingyin do this? Why would she want to kill you for no reason?" Old Master Ming patiently waited to hear what Uncle Ma had to say. Although he knew his granddaughter wasn't very good, he still couldn't believe she could do something as heinous as murder.
"Because Ming Yin is not the real eldest daughter of the Ming family at all."
"Nonsense!" Old Master Ming suddenly flew into a rage.
He would rather believe that he had not taught Mingyin well than believe that she was not a member of the Ming family and was not his granddaughter.
He glared angrily at Uncle Ma, assuming he had just woken up and was still not fully conscious. "Little Ma, you should rest well. I'll come find you again when you're fully clear-headed."
“Grandpa, I know you can’t accept this, but what I’m saying is true. Because I knew about Mingyin, she tried to kill me to silence me.” Uncle Ma said with difficulty. He looked at Grandpa Ming, who couldn’t accept all of this, and his face was full of heartache.
After all, he had devoted almost all his efforts to Mingyin, only to find out that she was not Minghao's biological daughter. No one could accept that.
“Grandpa, I didn’t want things to turn out this way either. After all, I’ve watched Mingyin grow up since she was a child, and my feelings for her are no deeper than yours. But the fact is the fact. She is not the real eldest daughter of the Ming family, and that cannot be changed.” Uncle Ma also became emotional.
When he first heard that Ming Yin wasn't the eldest daughter of the Ming family, he thought about keeping it a secret for Ming Yin's sake and for the old man's sake. He planned to secretly find the real eldest daughter of the Ming family and make it up to her. However, he didn't expect Ming Yin to be so ruthless. Not only did she want her biological parents to kill the real eldest daughter of the Ming family, but she also wanted to kill him to silence him.
It took Old Master Ming a long time to recover. He looked at Xiao Ma, who had just escaped death. What reason would someone who had just returned from the brink of death have to frame his master? Besides, he knew Uncle Ma's character very well; he wasn't the kind of person who would speak recklessly without reason.
"If Mingyin isn't the eldest daughter of the Ming family, then who is? Where is my own granddaughter?" The old man felt heartbroken for his granddaughter, who might not even be his granddaughter.
"The real eldest daughter of the Ming family is actually right beside us."
Uncle Ma took a deep breath and, despite his weakened state, continued to tell Grandpa Ming the whole truth.
"Do you know who she is? Where is she now?" Old Master Ming excitedly grabbed Uncle Ma's hand and hurriedly asked.
"She is the wife Gu Ye is going to marry, Miss Chu."
"You mean..." Old Master Ming opened his mouth, "Miss Chu? It's actually Miss Chu?"
Then, as if remembering something, Old Master Ming hurriedly said, "I'll go see Miss Chu right now."
How could he not be anxious upon hearing about his own granddaughter? He never imagined that the person he had painstakingly raised over the years was not his own granddaughter, while his own granddaughter had been living away from home all this time.
"Old man, there is something very important I must tell you."
Just as he was about to leave, Old Master Ming remembered Uncle Ma, who was still very weak. He asked anxiously, "What do you want to say?"
