Chapter 111 Are they cousins?
Secretary Liu turned and left.
I picked up the hard drive, hesitated for a moment, opened my laptop, connected it with a data cable, and then opened the video on it.
It's hard to say how much time has passed.
Then there was a knock on the door.
I came to my senses.
"Go in." My voice was a little hoarse.
Huo Yubai pushed the door open and came in.
“I went to your house and found out about Auntie’s situation. Mu Xi said that you hadn’t come home yet so late and weren’t answering your phone. She was very worried about you, so…” he explained.
"I forgot to charge my phone." I picked up my phone and realized it was turned off.
Huo Yubai stood at the door: "Are you alright?"
"Okay." I got up and locked the hard drive in the combination lock box.
"I heard Liu Yanfei contacted you?" he asked indifferently. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Liu Yanfei is Secretary Liu.
“It’s been resolved,” I said. “I’ve already given her all the shares.”
"Is that so?" His dark eyes turned slightly cold. "She can make decisions for the Shen family?"
“She’s been in cahoots with Shen Hai for a long time.” I scoffed. “Shen Hai is a scoundrel, and no matter how much trouble that old woman causes, it won’t work. As for Shen Hai’s wife, don’t be fooled by her strong personality; she’s all bark and no bite and doesn’t dare to disobey Shen Hai.”
"If the Shen Group were in the hands of Liu Yanfei and Shen Hai, I don't think we would need to do anything; the company would just go under on its own," Huo Yubai said sarcastically. "After all, nobody wants to do business with them."
They really oversimplified things.
Liu Yanfei was a mistress who rose to power, and Shen Hai is Shen Yuan's younger brother; neither of them are cut out for business.
Who would dare to cooperate with them?
However, perhaps some people will dare to do it, but whether those people have ulterior motives is unknown.
“When Shen Yuan fell into a coma, I knew that the Shen Group’s fate was sealed.” I said calmly, “Si Bainian and I discussed it and decided that we didn’t need to go through all that trouble, so we transferred all the shares to them and let them fend for themselves, so that I wouldn’t have to get into trouble because of them if I kept the shares.”
"Mm." Huo Yubai nodded.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Huo Fei: Take action as soon as possible.
Huo Fei: Received.
"I'll take you home." Huo Yubai stepped forward.
"I'm not a three-year-old anymore." I walked over and asked, "By the way, any news about Mo Yue?"
"I don't know." Huo Yubai didn't care at all.
"Be careful of the Mohists." That's all I can say.
He smiled faintly: "You admit we were together that night, what can the Mo family say?"
"It's better to be safe than sorry." I explained, "Anyway, this whole thing is weird."
"Yes, I'll be careful." Huo Yubai smiled.
He took me to my doorstep.
I want to get off the bus.
He grabbed my wrist.
"Anything else to say?" I frowned.
“…Goodnight.” He hesitated for a moment.
Just to say this?
"Good night." I got out of the car and left.
He sat in the car and laughed to himself, a laugh tinged with helplessness and bitterness.
How can I convey my feelings to her?
-
When I got home, I went to check on my mom to make sure she was alright, and then I went back to my room.
Mu Xi came in: "Yan Yan, you're back?"
"Um," I explained, "Sorry, my phone died."
"I'm glad you're alright." She said, "The project I'm working on with Ling Zidie is about to start. There's a launch ceremony tomorrow night. Could you come and attend?"
"Okay." I nodded. "I'll definitely come and support you."
Mu Xi put down the invitation: "That's great! Zi Die and I were worried you were too busy to come."
"Of course I'll support you two." I smiled.
"You're smiling so reluctantly, is something on your mind?" Mu Xi hugged my arm. "You weren't like this when you came back from Ge City. Tell me what's bothering you. Even if I can't help you solve it, you can still file a lawsuit. Don't keep it to yourself."
I took a deep breath: "Mu Xi, do you know whose child my mother is?"
Mu Xi asked in surprise, "Whose is it?"
"It's about Grandpa Mo and Min Xiu." My eyes were red.
"What?!" Mu Xi exclaimed in astonishment, "You mean your mother is the daughter of the Mo family, and so are you?"
I smiled helplessly: "What do you mean by 'the daughter of the Mo family'? Didn't you understand? My mother is the child of Old Master Mo and Min Xiu. Min Xiu has never been acknowledged by the Mo family. What kind of daughter of the Mo family is my mother? I've heard that Old Madam Mo is very shrewd. My mother has always been afraid that Old Madam Mo will find out about her background and hurt me."
"Then...then you and Mo Ruchu are cousins?" Mu Xi asked in shock.
I didn't expect that either.
I was also surprised when I saw this evidence.
I never imagined my mother's background was so complicated.
"Gu Heng used this to threaten your mother. Did Liu Shengyan's mother tell you that they are not family? What's going on?" Mu Xi asked, puzzled.
"So what if we're family? Even brothers keep clear accounts," I said sarcastically.
"You said Liu Yanfei hates you and your mother so much, won't she tell anyone?" Mu Xi asked worriedly.
"Then guess why, despite knowing so much, not a single one of them dares to threaten Madam Mo?" I asked.
Mu Xi thought about it, but couldn't figure it out.
“It’s simple. If they dare to threaten Old Madam Mo, they’ll be killed instantly.” I smiled casually. “Now the Mo family is in the hands of her grandson. If someone like my mother exists, and Old Master Mo is soft-hearted and gives the inheritance to my mother or me, do you think Old Madam Mo would agree? They would all be her enemies then, and they wouldn’t dare to do that.”
“Madam Mo is indeed feared. Anyway, my parents warned me that I should never offend this old lady.” Mu Xi held my hand. “Yan Yan, you have to worry.”
"So far, they've only been threatening my mother. Madam Mo doesn't want anyone to know about this secret. If they dare to reveal that they know this secret, they'll probably lose their lives." I said calmly.
"That's enough to make one worry," Mu Xi said anxiously.
"Don't worry, when that day really comes, we'll find a way," I said.
"Well, things will work themselves out!" Mu Xi smiled. "Then I'm going to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow."
“Go ahead.” I nodded.
Mu Xi turned and left.
I closed the door and sighed deeply.
What a trick of fate.
To my surprise, after searching for so long, I discovered that Min Xiu was actually my mother's biological mother, and she was my maternal grandmother.
This makes me even more determined to find her.
I know she must not be dead.
Someone doesn't want me to find her.
Could it be Madam Mo?
"Ah, no!"
Suddenly, I heard my mother scream downstairs.
I ran out immediately.
In the room, my mother sat on the bed, screaming and trembling.
Sister Lan is comforting her.
But she kept screaming.
"Don't come any closer! No!" My mother wailed, "Let me go..."
