Chapter 515
If it weren’t for the fact that he hadn’t married Chen Meng’er yet, he would have already swapped Zhou Yunbo and Zhou Yunjie out.
“What do you have to say? You can say it to Meng’er just by standing there. You don’t have to stand so close to her. It won’t affect her well.” Yuwen Jing glanced at Zhou Yunbo before saying coldly.
Zhou Yunbo couldn’t help but twitch his lips when he heard Yuwen Jing’s words. What a possessive weirdo.
However, Zhou Yunbo only dared mumble a few words in his heart. He didn’t have the courage to say it out loud.
Chen Meng’er was undoubtedly the focus of everyone tonight. From the elderly to the children, the person they were talking about was all Chen Meng’er.
The older ones were curious. They were curious about what was so special about this girl who was protected like a treasure by Elder Liu of the Green Gang. As for the middle-aged men, they were thinking about how to get close to Chen Meng’er and how to build a relationship with her. As for the younger ones, the men were talking about Chen Meng’er’s beauty while the women were mostly envious and jealous. When Chen Meng’er first came in, they were still thinking about how to mess with Chen Meng’er, but now, they did not dare to have such thoughts.
Murong Qi stood beside her grandmother, the way she looked at Chen Meng’er was almost murderous. She did not understand. Other than being a little beautiful, what else was there about Chen Meng’er? Why were all the men’s gazes on her?
“It’s useless to glare at her now. You can’t afford to offend her, and neither can the Murong family,” Matriarch Murong said as she raised her head to look at Chen Meng’er. “Why do I feel that she looks a little familiar?” Matriarch Murong muttered softly.
“Grandma, what did you say?” Murong Qi didn’t hear clearly and asked.
“Nothing, I’m warning you. Don’t provoke her. Not only can you not provoke her, you have to build a good relationship with her. This way, it will be good for you and the Murong Family,” Matriarch Murong reminded Murong Qi. Her advice was completely different from the advice of the elders in other families. It was an order.
Murong Qi had always hated Chen Meng’er. Because of her grandmother’s advice, the hatred she felt rose to a higher level. However, she still answered honestly, “Okay, I understand.” However, Murong Qi did not think so in her heart. She and Chen Meng’er were destined to be enemies.
Murong Qi said quietly in her heart, “Chen Meng’er, you should try your best to be proud now. One day, I will directly pull you down from your throne. At that time, I will let you taste what it’s like to fall from a high place.”
Elder Qu sat in the room for a long time. He forced himself to calm down. He dug out the events from more than ten years ago and carefully recalled them. After abandoning his preconceived ideas, Elder Qu was jolted awake. The person who could take away his little granddaughter without alerting anyone, other than those who knew everything about the Qu family, who could freely enter and leave the house without being suspected, who else could it be?
If those political enemies were to enter and leave the Qu family, or if strangers were to enter and leave the Qu family, then would the Qu family’s security personnel be mere decorations?
“Wait, security personnel.” A thought flashed through Elder Qu’s mind. He suddenly remembered that during the investigation that day, he heard someone mumble, “Eh, Where’s Zhang? He was still there earlier. How did he disappear in the blink of an eye?” At that time, Elder Qu was worried about his little granddaughter’s safety and didn’t pay much attention to this sentence. But now, for some unknown reason, this sentence suddenly entered Elder Qu’s mind and played back and forth.
Thinking of this, Elder Qu could not sit still anymore. He stood up and walked out.
Elder Qu arrived at the banquet hall and walked straight towards Qu Yaotian. He did not care about the people who were chatting with Qu Yaotian. He pulled his eldest son and ran to a less crowded place, he said, “Do you have a list of the Qu family’s security personnel?”
“Yes, what’s wrong?” Qu Yaotian saw his father’s anxious look and his heart also began to rise,
“I want the information of all the Qu family’s security personnel after liberation, including when they left their posts,” Elder Qu said seriously.
“Okay.” Qu Yaotian’s face was full of doubt as he waited for his father to explain his doubts.
“The people who took my little granddaughter away back then might not be political enemies. It might be people who are familiar with the Qu family.” The more Elder Qu thought about it, the more he frowned.
“Dad, are you saying that we are looking in the wrong direction?” Qu Yaotian’s eyes could not hide his surprise.
“Yes.” Elder Qu replied with a straight face.
“I knew it. It has been so many years and we haven’t found any information at all. It turns out that we are looking in the wrong direction.” Qu Yaotian said with a sigh. In order to find the lost child, their family had spent a lot of effort, and only the Qu family knew about it. “Then what about the paternity test?” Qu Yaotian asked,
“I’ll go ask Meng’er in a while. Elder Liu said that he won’t interfere in this matter, and will listen to Meng’er.” Elder Qu replied.
“That’s good. As long as Elder Liu doesn’t interfere, this matter will be easy to handle.” Qu Yaotian heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he thought of going up against Elder Liu, he would feel conflicted. It could be said that in the capital, there were very few people who wanted to go up against Elder Liu.
“What’s good about that? You brat, you don’t know about Meng’er. Don’t look at her as young. She has big ideas. Moreover, do you think that if Meng’er was really like those brats her age, Elder Liu would hand both the Green Gang and the Liu family over to her? Do you think that Elder Liu has really spoiled his granddaughter to the point of losing his mind?” Elder Qu said with a face full of resentment.
Qu Yaotian lowered his head at his father’s words. He had really looked down on Chen Meng’er previously. He thought that no matter how powerful Chen Meng’er was, she was still just a little girl in her teens.
“Yaotian, you have to take over my position in the future. When you take over the Qu family, you have to keep your eyes open. You can’t make a mistake,” Elder Qu said sincerely.
“Dad, I got it.” Qu Yaotian scratched his head in embarrassment and said.
