In his past life, Han Zheng had spent a great deal of manpower and resources searching for the murderer. On his deathbed, he still came up empty-handed. He died with his eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace. Unexpectedly, when he regained consciousness, he found himself back on the day Meng Wanhua died in 1996.
He immediately sought news about Meng Chuyue and discovered that her life trajectory had already diverged from his previous life, and her personality had changed a lot.
He guessed that she either had also been reborn or her body had been taken over by someone else.
Not being able to confirm if she was truly herself, and considering that Meng Wanhua had died earlier than in his past life, he did not dare to act rashly and could only wait and see.
Later, he unintentionally activated the Space Jade Ring, and his spiritual pet Erhu told him that the current Meng Chuyue was indeed a Reincarnator and his biological daughter. Only then did he feel at ease.
However, seeing that she was doing well on her own and had no intention of acknowledging him, he decided he must first address the potential danger of the murderer who might be close to him before taking any further action.
After dinner, Meng Chuyue followed Han Mi to a bedroom on the top floor to rest, while Shen Ci went with Han Muyang to an adjacent room.
Every time Han Mi saw Meng Chuyue, she was super talkative, and this time was no exception. She chatted incessantly, clarifying the situation of several adopted sons in Han Zheng’s family.
Only then did Meng Chuyue find out that Han Zheng, who had adopted nine children in his past life, had only adopted six children now.
That meant, apart from Mi Hang, there were two others he had not yet encountered.
Han Mi was the youngest, her birth name being Lee Mi. She was adopted from the orphanage by Han Zheng at the age of nine, who changed her surname but kept her given name.
This year she was seventeen and had just taken the middle school exams. Her grades were quite good, and she had been smoothly accepted into Hai City’s best high school, First High School.
Apart from her and Laosi Han Xiao, who used their original names, Laoda Han Muxuan, Laosan Han Muyun, Laosi Han Muchuan, and Laowu Han Muyang were all names given by Han Zheng.
Han Muyun was a girl, twenty-three years old this year, and a lawyer.
Laoda Han Muxuan was a doctor; Laoda Han Xiao and Laosi Han Muchuan had been managing the family business alongside Han Zheng since graduating from college.
Meng Chuyue remembered that in her past life, Han Mi was a famous strong-willed woman, becoming the acting CEO of Han Group at twenty-eight, a position above Han Xiao and Han Muchuan. Naturally, she would not consider her a naive and simple girl.
She even found Han Mi a bit hypocritical, but her eyes were too clear and her smile too harmless. Withdrawing her doubts, Meng Chuyue politely responded a few times and slowly drifted off to sleep.
What she did not know was that after she fell asleep, Han Mi glared at her with a sinister gaze for a long time before lying back on the bed with a cold laugh.
The next day, Han Xiao took Han Mi, who was desperately coquettish and trying to charm him to no avail, on a business trip, while Han Zheng took Han Muyang, Shen Ci, and Meng Chuyue to the famous West City antique street.
Antique street was quite a distance from Huyang Street, more than an hour’s drive away.
However, the rich atmosphere of ancient culture here made one feel as if they were dreaming.
Meng Chuyue couldn’t help but say, "This place is really retro, even if you can’t find what you desire, just browsing around is worthwhile."
Actually, with Erhu, the treasure-hunting bird, she was bound not to come back empty-handed this time.
True to form, Erhu quickly whispered to Meng Chuyue, "Look, at least one-third of the ancient coins in that jar are genuine. Are you planning to buy both the real and the fake together, or just the real ones? If you’re only buying the real ones, I, who will do the hard work, request cake as a reward."
Meng Chuyue, "The cake reward is definitely in order, but picking out just one-third will be too conspicuous. It’s better to buy them all, pretending to be naive with plenty of money to spare."
With the promise of cake, Erhu, indifferent to how much Meng Chuyue bought, agreed and flew off to search for more treasures elsewhere.
