Jiang Tingxu didn’t believe all of Lu Yunhua’s explanations.
“This is your so-called ‘news’?” she scoffed.
“It is one of them. I’ve checked it before. It might be a family keepsake!”
Family keepsake? Jiang Tingxu chuckled.
“Miss Lu, do you think you’re acting in a television drama? Or is it because I have the words ‘easy to fool’ on my face?”
Would they have been willing to sell something as valuable as a family token?
It was impossible whichever way you thought about it!
The reason why the Jun family was able to lay their hands on the Mo family was that they wanted to devour everything belonging to the latter, was it not?
Otherwise, if it was exactly as Lu Yunhua said, wouldn’t they be rich with this token as long as they found the family clan?
After all, according to the typical television drama plot, a family who owned a keepsake wasn’t an average one.
It had to be accumulated over several generations at least.
Lu Yunhua was not surprised by her biological daughter’s reaction.
“If you don’t believe me, you can investigate it yourself!”
Oh?
From her tone, it seemed that she was very certain!
She gazed sharply at the person in front of her. It was very easy to tell if Lu Yunhua was lying.
The expression on her face did not show a single trace of deceit.
Either what she said was the truth or the web of lies she spun was pretty solid.
Was there anything wrong with her father’s identity?
Upon serious thought, it seemed that there was indeed something wrong… At the very least, Jiang Tingxu had never heard of her grandparents’ deeds.
Nor had she heard of her father’s siblings having any relatives.
It was absurd that someone with a name would simply show up from nowhere like that.
“Do you know my father’s relatives?” she asked.
“No, I don’t. I’ve never seen any relatives of the Jiang family, and I’ve never heard your father mention them! However, I’ve heard people from my hometown mention that your father isn’t from Jin City, nor is he the son of the welfare family in the village. He was randomly picked up from the streets.”
Was it that coincidental?
The so-called family keepsake and the identity of Father Jiang…
Jiang Tingxu sneered and laughed.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Lu, have you watched too many movies?”
Why not try her hand at being a scriptwriter too?
Although those were the words out of her mouth, Jiang Tingxu still made a mental note to investigate in private.
Lu Yunhua wouldn’t treat her like a three-year-old child, would she?
Other things might have been possible, but this was a life-and-death matter of the Jun family’s business in the country!
Lu Yunhua glared at Jiang Tingxu angrily.
“You don’t believe me? I’ve already told you everything I know. You can believe it or not! Don’t forget what you promised before!”
“Don’t worry!”
A promise was a promise. Jiang Tingxu wouldn’t go back on her word.
In any case, she had only promised the Mo family wouldn’t make a move again!
She didn’t agree to anything else!
The Jun family was probably forced into a corner now. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so foolish.
Indeed, a real professional can tell what it is as soon as he takes a sniff!
Lu Yunhua left the hospital in a huff. Jiang Tingxu went back to her office and put her phone and the things that Lu Yunhua had given her into the drawer.
It was half-past five in the afternoon. It was supposed to be time to get off work.
Outside the hospital gate, the father and son had arrived ten minutes earlier. The car stopped by the roadside and waited.
It was a full forty minutes before they finally saw Jiang Tingxu come out.
She looked around before quickly getting into the car.
Little Ningning pounced on her instantly.
“Mom, why did you come out so late?”
“There was an emergency patient when I got off work. I was delayed for a while,” she explained. “How was it with Dad today?”
