"So, you want me to help you confirm these birthmarks?" Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow.
Dong Wenming nodded, "Yes, only you can help me..." He gestured to himself, then lifted his left arm and pointed to the area under his armpit, "Right here, there’s a black birthmark, shaped like... like someone pressed a hand print there..." He paused, "And also... Xiuxiu has a black mole the size of a grain of rice at the base of her spine..."
"But why should I help you?" Yang Ruxin chuckled, "Besides, you only have one daughter, no sons, aren’t you afraid that after acknowledging my mother, she might fight with you for the inheritance?"
Dong Wenming laughed, "She’s my sister; the Dong Family originally has her share, so what’s there to fight about?"
"There aren’t many people who think like you do." Yang Ruxin nodded her head, "I can go back and verify for you, but... when you two acknowledge each other, that will have to be on my terms..."
Dong Wenming frowned but still nodded his head.
"Now, I want to hear you talk about your son-in-law..." Yang Ruxin was still very curious about how Yang Baiyue had entered the Dong Family.
"Ajie..." Dong Wenming suddenly sighed, "Speaking of which, he’s also had a hard life..."
Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrows slightly, Hard life? Ruxin thought that joke was a bit cold.
The Mo Family used to be neighbors with the Dong Family years ago. Mo Wenjie’s grandfather and the old patriarch of the Dong Family had worked together at the Xiang Family and were very close. They had agreed that their children would become in-laws, but as it turned out, both had sons, so they then agreed that their grandchildren would marry each other...
Yang Ruxin nodded, these two families were really persistent.
"But later on, when Ajie was very young, the Mo Family moved back up north because of an elder’s passing. Still, the two families kept in touch," Dong Wenming sighed, "After Qiuqiu was born, the families met once more, and it was then that we exchanged tokens to betroth Qiuqiu and Ajie... Although we continued to correspond, we never saw each other again. However, later on, the Mo Family encountered a great calamity. We never thought of breaking our promise, but as Qiuqiu grew up, we realized she was mentally challenged, and we didn’t want to be a burden. Originally, when Qiuqiu turned sixteen, I sent a message to the Mo Family hoping to call off the engagement, but two years later, Ajie came with the token, expressing his willingness to honor the commitment and even to marry into the Dong Family..."
Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but let out a sneer. She remembered when she had scared Yang Baiyue, he said he had fallen into water, lost his memory, and was saved by the Mo Family, and only then did he become their son and the son-in-law of the Dong Family. It seemed that man truly couldn’t be trusted.
"Xinxin, what are you laughing at?" Dong Wenming frowned, he always felt that the girl in front of him seemed to know something, don’t ask why, it was a businessman’s intuition.
"All these years, you never investigated Mo Wenjie’s identity?" Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Investigate?" Dong Wenming frowned, "He... he brought the token and even knew what was said when the agreement was made. If he isn’t from the Mo Family..."
"I’m just suggesting, what to do is your business now," Yang Ruxin said as she got up, "Well, that’s all said and done, I should be going now, it’s getting late, and I still need to see my Godmother..."
