“Girl, what did you say?” Elder Liu put down the cup in his hand and looked at Chen Meng’er in surprise. Zhuge Yu also looked at Chen Meng’er in surprise. He was sure that only he and his boss knew that Chen Meng’er was the child that was taken away from the Qu family.
“I said, I am the child that was taken away from the Qu family,” Chen Meng’er said calmly as if she was talking about someone else’s matter.
“Little Miss, how do you know that you are the child who was taken away from the Qu family?” Zhuge Yu could not help but ask.
Elder Liu looked at Chen Meng’er and waited for her answer.
Chen Meng’er did not say anything. Instead, she took out the jade pendant with the word “Qu” engraved on it.
Elder Liu and Zhuge Yu saw Chen Meng’er take out the jade pendant with the word “Qu” engraved on it. The two of them did not say anything. They knew very well what this jade pendant meant.
“Why didn’t you take out this jade pendant earlier for me to see? We could have known earlier.” Elder Liu said this and realized that he seemed to have said too much, so he quickly stopped. Zhuge Yu was wiping off his sweat on the side. His boss had also told him to keep it a secret and not to let it slip. How could he not be able to handle it now?
Who was Chen Meng’er? The moment her grandfather opened his mouth, he knew that they were hiding something from her. Chen Meng’er put the jade pendant into her collar and narrowed her eyes. She looked at her grandfather and looked at Zhuge Yu. “Grandpa, Uncle Zhuge, are the two of you hiding something from me?”
“Haha, what could the two of us be hiding from you? Alright, since you know about your relationship with the Qu family, what are your plans?” Elder Liu wanted to change the topic.
However, how could Chen Meng’er let Elder Liu change the topic so easily? Chen Meng’er looked at Elder Liu with a bright smile, she said, “Grandpa, don’t change the topic for me. Answer my question first. I will answer everything you want to know.” As she said that, Chen Meng’er raised her eyebrows at Elder Liu and Zhuge Yu, indicating for them to talk.
How could Elder Liu not know the temper of his precious granddaughter? He could only signal to Zhuge Yu, “Zhuge, tell this girl.”
Zhuge Yu cast an aggrieved look at Elder Liu. He did not want to go up and explain the matter to the Little Miss. However, his aggrieved look was completely useless in Elder Liu’s eyes. Elder Liu did not even look at him.
“Uncle Zhuge, please explain it to me.” Chen Meng’er smiled sweetly. However, Zhuge Yu’s heart skipped a beat when he looked at her.
“Ah, yes, Little Miss. The thing is, we were unable to find out if you had any relationship with the Qu family previously, because the Qu family has been investigating you, Little Miss. Therefore, Sir and I thought of a way. We did a paternity test on you and the Qu family’s fourth son to determine if you have any relationship with the Qu family.” Zhuge Yu explained in a few words.
As soon as Zhuge Yu said that, she remembered that some time ago, she felt that her grandfather and Zhuge Yu’s expressions were not quite right. At that time, she did not take it to heart, so she did not think too much about it. Now that she thought about it, she felt that there was something fishy going on.
“This process is not important. What is important is the result. Since you know about your relationship with the Qu family, then what are you going to do next? Are you going to acknowledge it or not?” Elder Liu asked.
“Well, I can’t answer that yet.” Chen Meng’er touched her chin with an enigmatic look.
“Why?” Elder Liu raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Meng’er inquisitively.
