Chapter 375: Chapter 376: And Then The Truth Is Revealed?
With curiosity, Ye Xingbei asked, “What did you find out?”
Gu Junzhu, with his slender and beautiful index finger, gently touched his lip and said, “Come here, baby, give me a kiss, and then I’ll tell you!”
Ye Xingbei: “… Say itor not!”
Ye Xingbei glared at him, rolled off his body, lay on the bed, and turned her back to him.
Gu Junzhu chuckled, pinched her neck playfully like a small animal, “Jingyuan found out that his father isn’t Mr. Yu and Senior Madame Yu’s biological son.”
“Jingyuan’s real grandfather is a rich businessman from the south, and his real grandmother is a young mistress from a big family, who is Senior Madame Yu’s cousin.”
“When Jingyuan’s real grandfather was alive, he was hot-tempered and indulged in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, had a bad reputation, and went to jail for murder. He was sentenced to death, and his real grandmother couldn’t bear the blow and fell seriously ill.”
“Jingyuan’s grandmother didn’t have any other relatives, and on her deathbed, she called upon Mr. Yu and Senior Madame Yu and transferred all her property to them, entrusting her dying wishes to them to take care of Jingyuan’s father.”
“Jingyuan’s father was still an infant at the time. Jingyuan’s grandmother didn’t want her son to know about his murderer father. So she let Mr. Yu and Senior Madame Yu adopt Jingyuan’s father. She begged them to raise Jingyuan’s father as their own, considering Jingyuan’s grandfather had once saved Mr. Yu and Senior Madame Yu’s lives.”
Ye Xingbei was drawn into the history of Jingyuan’s father, she couldn’t help but turn to look at him, “Jingyuan’s grandfather saved Mr. Yu and Senior Madame Yu’s lives?”
“Yes,” Gu Junzhu nodded, “Although Jingyuan’s grandfather had a bad temper and indulged in all vices, he had some virtues, and loyalty was one of them.”
“Mr. Yu and Senior Madame Yu were once kidnapped. The kidnappers demanded a high ransom. The Yu family was not doing well at that time and couldn’t afford the ransom. Knowing that Jingyuan’s grandfather was rich, they sought his help.”
“In the end, it was Jingyuan’s grandfather who paid over half of the ransom money and saved Mr. Yu and Senior Madame Yu.”
Ye Xingbei frowned, “Since Jingyuan’s grandfather saved Mr. Yu and Senior Madame Yu’s lives, and they inherited all the property from Jingyuan’s grandfather, didn’t they treat Jingyuan’s father well?”
“No,” Gu Junzhu sighed as he pinched Ye Xingbei’s cheek, “Not all sincerity can be rewarded with loyalty. Some people, like Mr. Yu and Senior Madame Yu, are ungrateful. They lived in Jingyuan’s father’s hometown for three years, inherited all the property of Jingyuan’s grandfather, and then brought Jingyuan’s father back to Beijing, fraudulently claiming that Jingyuan’s father was their third son born in the south.”
“In principle, they inherited a vast amount of wealth from Jingyuan’s grandfather. Considering Jingyuan’s grandfather saved their lives, they should have treated Jingyuan’s father well. But they did not.”
“They favor the first and second brothers and treated Jingyuan’s father like an errand boy. He had the most work to do but received the least benefits.”
“Even though Jingyuan’s father was a devoted son, he was deeply aggrieved. He kept it to himself, which led to him being in a bad mood for a long time, causing his health to deteriorate. He handed over the family affairs to Jingyuan quite early.”
“The eldest and second brothers were deadweights, and all they ever did was leech off Jingyuan’s family.”
“Jingyuan had been fed up with them for a long time. After Jingyuan’s father handed his power and connections to Jingyuan, he began investigating his father’s history.”
Ye Xingbei raised her eyebrows, “So the truth was revealed? Does Jingyuan’s father know about his real identity now?”
