Long Yubei’s lips curled upward as he leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Let’s drive, we need to get back to the old mansion."
She let go of him, restarted the engine, and continued driving.
Throughout the journey, Gu Lili’s emotions surged erratically.
Long Yubei sitting beside her could feel it.
Seeing her happy, his mood also inexplicably brightened.
Upon arriving at the old mansion, the couple shared an umbrella as they went inside.
There was no one in the living room, so they headed straight to Old Madam Long and her husband’s bedroom.
"Beibei, why have you come back at this time?" Old Madam Long asked in surprise.
"You all leave," Long Yubei ordered the servants and bodyguards.
Gu Lili closed the door behind them, brought a chair over for Long Yubei, and had him sit down.
"Grandma, I have an important question for you and grandpa."
"What is it? Go ahead and ask." Follow current novels on nοvelfire.net
Long Yubei didn’t beat around the bush, "Did I once have a half-brother with the same father but a different mother? Was he born to my dad and another woman?"
Old Madam Long was stunned for a few seconds, "Who told you this?"
"Grandma, I found out about it myself. I want to hear the truth. Is it true?"
"It’s true," Old Madam Long, as if taken back twenty-something years, "Back then, you were too young. Your dad lived with that woman for a while, and when she got pregnant, that’s when we learned about it. He wanted to divorce your mom. Your grandpa and I were so angry we couldn’t eat, and we ordered your dad to immediately break it off with that woman. Your dad was young and fiery back then, and we had quite the quarrel with him for a while, but in the end, he didn’t divorce your mom. The Long Family gave that woman a sum of money to keep her mouth shut and for child support, then she and her child went abroad and never came back."
"Grandma, do you know? The one who wants to hurt you is my dad’s illegitimate son. If I’m not mistaken, he and his mother are with the Anton Family in Country T."
"What?!" Old Madam Long became even more furious. "To be so vicious, if we’d known, we wouldn’t have given them a penny. Just like his mother—crafty and scheming. To marry your dad, she had all kinds of tricks up her sleeve. But without my permission, her dreams of marrying your dad were mere fantasies! And your mom, she had no opinion of her own. When pushed into marriage, she only knew how to cry. If it weren’t for me and your grandpa holding the fort, your dad wouldn’t know how many women he’d have brought through the door. Really, I wonder who he takes after. He’s nothing like me or your grandpa. There were so many times your grandpa and I doubted if he was even our biological child."
Gu Lili couldn’t help but want to laugh, "Grandma, we’re lucky to have you at home. I really admire you. You’re not like other elders who indulge their sons in affairs."
"That’s because I am also a wife myself. Although your grandpa has never had such thoughts, I still understand it. Now that this matter has been tracked to that mother and son, I’m sure they have other plans. Beibei, you don’t need to worry about the Long Family’s assets. They won’t get a dime. Your grandpa and I made a will a long time ago. Our assets won’t go through your dad’s hands, and will only be given to you. Your dad is also clear about this. We mainly need to be cautious about any mischief they might try regarding your safety. Beibei, you must pay attention to your own safety."
Long Yubei clasped her hand, "Grandma, thank you for arranging everything for me so thoughtfully. Don’t worry, I will be careful."
