Everyone could not believe what they had just heard.
“Did I mishear?”
“How is this possible?” Many people in the surroundings began to gossip.
On the other hand, Mr. Sun recalled some rumors that he had heard about Elder Qu appearing frequently in the Green Gang recently. Previously, he had thought that this rumor was really a rumor without any credibility. How could Elder Qu be so close to Elder Liu?
Now that he heard what Xu Lele said, he felt that it made sense.
“How is that impossible? Although not many people know about this, I’m not the only one who knows. There are quite a few people who know about this.” Xu Lele looked around expressionlessly and said, “Speaking of the Murong family and Chen Meng’er’s feud, let’s start from this matter. Back then, Chen Meng’er was taken away from the Qu family’s mansion during the full moon party. For so many years, the Qu family has never given up on looking for Chen Meng’er. Previously, the Qu family had always thought that Chen Meng’er was taken away by the Qu family’s political enemies. The Qu family never thought that they had been looking in the wrong direction all this time. The person who took Chen Meng’er away that year was not the Qu family’s enemy at all.” Chen Meng’er did not expect this. Xu Lele, who looked serious and did not say much on a normal day, seemed to be quite serious when it came to this matter.
“If that was not the Qu family’s enemy, then who did it?” Someone in the crowd asked everyone’s thoughts. There wasn’t anyone in the upper-class circles of the capital who didn’t know about the Qu family losing their child back then. Even these children had heard about it from their grandparents many times.
Xu Lele didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she raised her head and looked at Murong Qi.
Murong Qi was filled with regret. How could she have been so blinded by anger that she had forgotten how Chen Meng’er had ruthlessly chased her family out of the Murong family? Moreover, Murong Qi knew exactly what had happened back then.
Right now, Murong Qi wished that she could find an opportunity to leave this place as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Yuan Yuan saw the way Xu Lele looked at her and Murong Qi. For some reason, the bad premonition in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
“It’s the matriarch of the Murong family. She planned it all herself. She bribed the guards of the Qu family and took advantage of the chaos to carry Chen Meng’er away while the Qu family was holding a full moon party for their newborn twins.” When Xu Lele said this, it caused another uproar in the crowd.
The answer given by Xu Lele was really beyond their expectations. They had racked their brains, but no one thought about Matriarch Murong.
“This can’t be right. Matriarch Murong is Chen Meng’er’s grandmother.” Someone in the crowd raised another objection.
“That’s right. How could her grandmother do such a thing? Why would she take her own granddaughter away? What good would that do her?” Someone chimed in.
“Heh, this is what makes Matriarch Murong different from ordinary people. She is famous for her ruthlessness. Although Chen Meng’er was her granddaughter, she was not her biological granddaughter. She looked at how precious the Qu family was to their only granddaughter, Chen Meng’er. Especially Elder Qu, he doted on Chen Meng’er so much that his heart ached for her. As soon as Matriarch Murong saw this, she thought about it and had evil intentions. She thought, if Chen Meng’er was gone, then wouldn’t the Qu family have no more girls? And Elder Qu and his wife were so fond of girls, so she had the intention of replacing Chen Meng’er with her own granddaughter.” Chen Meng’er was excited to hear it, she did not realize Xu Lele was so eloquent.
Everyone was listening with great interest.
As for Qiu Jing, after hearing Xu Lele’s words, she could not help but turn around and look at Chen Meng’er worriedly. She did not expect that her neighbor would have such a bumpy experience.
“If that’s really the case, this Matriarch Murong is too cruel.” As she spoke, the way everyone looked at Murong Qi changed.
“That’s right. Matriarch Murong’s plan was very good. She thought that she did things without anyone knowing. However, she never expected that the Qu family’s guard that she bribed at that time was not as ruthless as her. In the end, he did not have the heart to do it. He only threw the baby that he carried to a remote mountain village and did not take the baby’s life. What he did not expect was that this baby was not only smart, but would also have such a good life. Not only did she save her life, but she also became the granddaughter of the leader of the Green Gang, Elder Liu.” Xu Lele concluded.
Her conclusion was affirmed by everyone. “Now, do you all still think that Chen Meng’er was too much when she chased Murong Qi and her family out of the Murong family? In any case, I don’t think she was too much at all. Even though Matriarch Murong tried to kill her. She only chased her family out of the Murong family.” Xu Lele meant that Chen Meng’er was showing mercy.
After listening to Xu Lele’s explanation of the Murong family’s entanglement with Chen Meng’er, everyone present, including Murong Qi, who had been standing up for the injustice, did not say anything.
Everyone looked at Murong Qi with sympathy. Now, there was only blame.
Yuan Yuan did not expect that the whole story that Xu Lele told them was completely different from what Murong Qi had told them. Although Yuan Yuan was stupid, she still knew how to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
It was impossible for Xu Lele to lie for Chen Meng’er. That meant that Murong Qi lied to them.
Yuan Yuan turned her head and glared fiercely at Murong Qi, she said, “Murong Qi, you actually dared lie to us. You actually dared tell us that it was because Chen Meng’er was too jealous of you that she would do anything to drive your family out of the Murong family. We actually foolishly believed what you said. Murong Qi, I will tell my cousin. I will let him see your true colors.” Yuan Yuan had damaged her reputation. She really wanted to eat Murong Qi alive.
After Yuan Yuan finished speaking, she left Murong Qi behind and turned around to leave.
“Don’t you know that when Murong Qi was still the eldest daughter of the Murong family, her nose was always up in the air? Whenever she saw us, she would always look down on us. Humph, fortunately, evil people get served by karma.”
