Through her clothes, Chen Meng’er gently pressed on the jade pendant engraved with the word “Qu” on her chest. Her eyes stared intently at Elder Qu in front of her.
Chen Meng’er knew Elder Qu. In her previous life, he was the head of the Qu family. However, Chen Meng’er’s family was not a direct descendant of the Qu family. She had very few opportunities to meet the head of the Qu family. She had heard her parents mention that the Qu family’s direct descendant had lost a granddaughter. At that time, her parents had even spanked her and made her show herself to the Qu family’s direct descendant a few times. If she had been chosen by the Qu family’s direct descendant, she would have been brought to the Qu family’s direct descendant’s side to be raised.
Unfortunately, her parents’ wishful thinking had been wasted. Someone had long found this loophole and stuffed their own daughter into the Qu family’s direct descendant’s side.
Chen Meng’er suddenly remembered that the person who had sent their own child to the Qu family to be raised was from the Murong family.
Chen Meng’er’s intuition told her that she seemed to be related to the child that the Qu family’s direct descendant had lost. However, Chen Meng’er subconsciously rejected the Qu family. She did not want to have anything to do with the Qu family.
“My parents are both people from S City. As for Elder Qu, just look at me. You think that I look like your dead daughter. In my opinion, this is all a coincidence. There are all kinds of strange things in the world, aren’t there?” Chen Meng’er faced Elder Qu and spoke very calmly. After saying that, Chen Meng’er turned her head and said to Elder Liu, “Grandpa, the time we arranged to meet with Grandpa Deng is almost here. It’s not good to make him wait.”
Chen Meng’er looked very calm and composed, but only she herself knew what her heart was like. She was afraid that if she interacted with Elder Qu too much, he would see through her facade.
“Yes, that’s true. If we don’t leave now, we’ll be late. Elder Qu, we’ll have a chance to chat later. We’ll be leaving first.” Elder Liu looked deeply at Chen Meng’er, he looked at his granddaughter’s abnormal behavior and knew what was going on. It seemed that this precious granddaughter of his had some relationship with the Qu family. As for what it was, Elder Liu thought that he would ask about it in a while.
“Okay.” Elder Qu answered Elder Liu’s words, but his eyes stared at Chen Meng’er without blinking. He didn’t believe what Chen Meng’er said. How could there be such a coincidence in this world? How could there be such a coincidence when they were not related by blood?
Elder Qu watched Chen Meng’er and Elder Liu leave and decided to get someone to investigate Elder Liu’s granddaughter. He did not believe it. He did not believe that this girl who looked so much like his little daughter who had died, would have nothing to do with the Qu family.
On Chen Meng’er and Elder Liu’s side, Elder Liu asked Chen Meng’er as he walked, “Meng’er, what do you know?” When Elder Liu asked, he asked carefully while observing Chen Meng’er’s expression.
“Grandpa, why do you look so wretched now? If you say you want to know something, just ask. If I don’t answer you, you can also go investigate it yourself. Once you investigate, won’t everything be clear?” Chen Meng’er was very rude, she rolled her eyes at Elder Liu.
“Ah, I won’t investigate you without your permission.” Elder Liu put away his previous cheeky smile and said to Chen Meng’er seriously.
Chen Meng’er was very touched when she heard Elder Liu’s words. “But, Grandpa, I can’t be sure myself.” Chen Meng’er looked at Elder Liu with a hint of loneliness in her eyes. “Actually, I’ve always known that I’m not my parents’ biological child. But, what does it matter if I’m not biological? So what if I’m not blood-related? They treat me like their biological child. That’s enough. As for my biological parents, they’re really not important to me.”
