Hello, Heir

With both of them not needing to go to work, Zhuang Nainai and Si Jingyu returned home and began doing household chores here and there.

After a busy afternoon, and by the time Si Zhengting returned home, they had managed to prepare dinner.

The three of them ate dinner together, and Si Jingyu talked about what had transpired that afternoon when they had met Hua Mianao at the shopping mall.

As Si Zhengting listened, his expression began to darken. Even though Si Jingyu was putting things across lightly, it wasn’t hard for him to imagine how bone-chilling the scenes had been!

If Li Yufeng hadn’t felt the prick in her conscience and hadn’t stopped the heavy object from falling onto Nainai, if there had been someone who had knocked into Nainai during the fracas…

The more he thought along these lines, the scarier he felt it was.

Si Zhengting furrowed his brows. “Don’t leave the house in the future unless there’s something for you to do.”

Zhuang Nainai didn’t retort, but Si Jingyu was already speaking on her behalf. “You can’t do this. Don’t tell me you’re never going to drive cars just because you’re afraid of getting into a car accident? Also, you could possibly choke from drinking water. Are you trying to say that we shouldn’t drink water anymore?”

Si Zhengting was speechless.

There were so many pregnant women in the world, and it was rare for them to actually experience miscarriages just because they were knocked about. In fact, if Zhuang Nainai were to be confined to the house, she would feel uncomfortable.

Sister had said everything that Zhuang Nainai wanted to say, so she closed her mouth instantly and decided to bat her eyelids and play the good child.

She didn’t protest, so Si Zhengting turned his head to look at her. “What do you think?”

Zhuang Nainai blinked innocently once more. In a very obedient tone, she said, “I’ll just listen to whatever Sister says~”

Si Zhengting was speechless.

Deciding to change the subject, Si Jingyu said, “Right, didn’t you get someone to investigate Li Yufeng? Have you found anything? What actually happened between her and Nainai’s mother?”

At the mention of this, Zhuang Nainai immediately raised her head and stared at Si Zhengting.

Seeing that both of them were now looking at him, Si Zhengting gave a cough, then replied, “Coincidentally, I went to look for a private investigator today, and I found out a bit about Li Yufeng’s past.”

Huh!

What a coincidence!

Zhuang Nainai pricked her ears and made herself look attentive.

Si Zhengting kept quiet for a moment, then picked up his phone. After making a call to Ji Chen, he turned on hands-free mode and ordered, “Report to Nainai what you managed to find today.”

Ji Chen replied, “Yes.”

With that, Ji Chen began. “Li Yufeng’s original name was Li Guichun, and she was indeed from a small mountain village in Hebei province. The village being quite backward and poor, she was actually the first person to graduate from university in her village. The place that the private investigator visited had a few old people who confirmed that they knew a person by the name of Li Guichun.”

“In fact, Li Guichun was somewhat of a legend in their village. Her sister-in-law was stingy and mean, but she still managed to grow up haughty and pampered. She never spoke much, but once she did, whatever she said was always impressive and worth the words of ten people put together. For example, her mother died early, and her father also died shortly after her sister-in-law married into the family. The moment her sister-in-law came into the family, she was made to do the housework. But who knows what she said to her sister-in-law — she was suddenly treated like nobility and propped up. Her sister-in-law, behaving as if under a spell, allowed her to go to school. Her grades in school were excellent, and all the teachers who had ever taught her always praised her for being academic. However, when she was in middle school, the family didn’t have enough money to pay for her school fees, and she nearly quit school because of that. Later on, she managed to talk to her sister-in-law about it, and she was eventually able to return to school and study up ’til high school. Then, she stole her dowry and ran away from the family.”
