Meng Yuzhu covered her face, "Yeah, I used to think she was heartless, but now I realize that she’s actually quite kind-hearted. Despite knowing there’s no blood relation between us, she was still willing to save me that day. Hmm, if I ever meet her again, I definitely need to express my gratitude properly."
To this day, Meng Yuzhu dared not think about what would have happened to her if Meng Chuyue hadn’t come to her rescue that day.
As soon as Meng Yinhua and Fu Hongfang arrived, Meng Jinhua and Fu Hongfang began a thorough reprimand of Meng Chuyue, Han Zheng, and Meng Wanhua.
Meng Yinhua, after listening for a bit, said impatiently, "Whether they’re right or wrong, they haven’t taken advantage of you. Especially Wanhua. Han Zheng and Chuyue might have a reason to criticize her, but what right do you have?"
Meng Jinhua and Fu Hongfang then fell silent.
Meng Yinhua turned her face towards Meng Lixing, "Dad, what are you trying to do? No matter who Wanhua’s biological daughter is, we’ve never contributed to their upbringing. Can’t you and my older brother and sister-in-law just stop targeting them and live your own lives?"
Meng Lixing, who had been silent, slammed his hand on the table and stood up, "Why should I? Why, for an old man who’s half in the grave? Isn’t it because I hope that you all can live a little better? You say I’m disturbing them. If they were as poor as you, I wouldn’t have these wandering thoughts. But they are so wealthy, even the tiniest amount slipping through their fingers could elevate you to grandeur. How could I not be tempted?"
Meng Yinhua abruptly stood up, "No matter how rich they are, that wealth is theirs. It’s like the money in a bank; if it’s not yours, you shouldn’t covet it. Forget it, I know whatever I say you won’t listen, so I won’t try to persuade you anymore. But remember, if something happens again, don’t call me."
After saying her piece, Meng Yinhua strode out angrily, with Yin Fenglian hurrying after her.
Once they had left, Meng Yajun stepped forward and spoke to Meng Lixing, "Grandpa, please, stop bothering Chuyue, okay? She was stolen by my little aunt, who made a will leaving her inheritance to Chuyue. This will won’t be changed just because there’s no blood relation between them. If you don’t believe me, go ask a lawyer."
He looked at Meng Jinhua and Fu Hongfang and pleaded, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, her tutoring class is really good. If I keep studying there, I’m confident I can get into a good university. Then, I’ll be able to earn a lot of money. For this reason alone, you shouldn’t burn bridges with her."
Seeing that they were still unmoved, Meng Yajun added, "I think, instead of targeting Chuyue, it would be better to target my little aunt’s biological daughter."
Although he didn’t know who she was, Meng Yajun felt that someone who had acknowledged a relationship with Meng Wanhua while she was still alive couldn’t be good news.
Of course, he didn’t mean to set a trap for her; firstly, he was looking out for himself, and secondly, he believed that with his grandpa’s, father’s, and mother’s capabilities, it would be very hard to locate her.
Ah well, who cares, he thought. If every man does not look out for himself, heaven and earth will combine to destroy him. Just delay the matter for now. Once this tutoring session ends, he wouldn’t have to be afraid of anything.
Meng Lixing and the others were immediately swayed by Meng Yajun’s words.
And they didn’t think it would be difficult to find the person.
Meng Wanhua wouldn’t have stolen a child for no reason.
Most likely, she had switched babies.
If it was a switch, she wouldn’t have done it randomly. The target would be very specific.
Their first suspicion fell on Lee Mi.
Lee Mi was Han Zheng’s adopted daughter, and Meng Chuyue was Han Zheng’s biological daughter. The possibility of them being switched was high.
After some investigation, they called Meng Yajun to ask for his opinion.
Meng Yajun’s studies were affected, and he protested irritably, "This is the last time. Don’t involve me in this kind of thing again; don’t disrupt my studies. If I ruin my future over some uncertain money, I will resent you."
