Transmigrated into a poor peasant family, lacking clothes and food, life is hard enough, why must she also be schemed against by her only relative?
So she's not their biological child, wh...
Zhou Yaru belatedly realized she was scared. The old lady felt a cold sweat break out. If Song Yuzhu was really a bad person, how could they have been so at ease letting this person come and go freely in the house all these years?
"Oh no, she probably knows a lot about us."
The old man snorted, "I'm just like you, I can't keep my mouth shut. But now that I think about it, this woman is really suspicious. Zhengfeng, I need to call your brother-in-law and the others."
Jiang Qiao stood up. "Grandpa, don't make any calls for now. Don't alert them. I'll have someone handle it. Dad, take me there. I need to use your internal phone."
The old man was also anxious. "No, I have to make this call, otherwise what if she harms my son and grandson?"
Who is Jiang Qiao? She stared at the old man for a moment, then pulled Gu Zhengfeng out, saying, "Dad, you go first, Grandpa and I will be there soon."
Although Gu Zhengfeng didn't know what his daughter wanted to say to her father-in-law, his father-in-law's mood seemed a bit off. If his father-in-law didn't want to talk about something, he probably wouldn't be able to get the answer even if he wanted to.
Seeing her father obediently leading the way, Jiang Qiao slowly asked a question from behind.
Grandpa, I just want to ask you one question: Is something about to happen at home?
With just one sentence, Wen Songtao was rendered speechless. Seeing that the old man remained silent, Jiang Qiao had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
"I reckon that when you and your son were talking about this, that woman most likely overheard it, unless you were doing it behind her back. But even if you were doing it behind her back, she would naturally know everything about your expressions and actions without you having to say a word."
What could Wen Songtao say? He was truly ashamed. How could he have thought he was so smart before? Now that he thought about it, he was the most foolish one, having left such a scourge in his family, who might even have harmed his descendants.
I regret it, but it's too late. There's no medicine for regret in this world.
"Qiao'er, what do you think I should do?"
Jiang Qiao frowned and gritted her teeth as she asked, "The other party also knows everything about your asset transfer?"
The old man glared and said, "Even if your grandpa is stupid, I'm not that stupid. Who is she? Just a servant. How could I let her know?"
"Even before she was here, the Wen family's wealth wasn't all kept at home. It's been accumulated over generations; how could I be so careless? The later stages were handled personally by your uncle; there shouldn't be any problems."
Jiang Qiao nodded. "You're not completely stupid. I don't care what you plan to do in the future, it has to stop for now. We'll talk about it again once we catch this woman. It'll be more convenient to have this as an excuse. What do you think?"
You mean to say?
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "We can be flexible. After all, people can come up with solutions."
The old man nodded. "It was my carelessness."
Jiang Qiao snorted, "Even if you can arrange for them to leave, once they're outside, I think those people might not let go of such a good opportunity to control you."
Don't forget, putting aside how much wealth the Wen family has, their reputation is already well-known. Besides, enemy agents also need funds. You and your descendants haven't even enjoyed that money yet; it's such a waste to give it to these bastards. Even when helping the poor, they wouldn't give it to them.
Jiang Qiao is now furious. They kidnapped her older brother and planted people around her maternal grandfather. No matter what their reasons were, they deserve to die.
"Grandpa, I'll say it again: if you're going to do it, do it cleanly and don't arouse suspicion, especially since this matter has a big impact later on. The fewer people who know, the better."
"Many people talk a big game, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Today they are husband and wife, but who knows what the future holds? Who can predict anything in this world? Divorce is not uncommon, and turning into enmity is even more common."
“Girl, Grandpa knows.”
Jiang Qiao supported the old man, her heart filled with conflict. She didn't know what the old man's plans were for afterward, or where he intended to take the person.
However, there is one thing she knows: although the Wen family is not what it used to be, its foundation and connections are still there. Moreover, there are Wen family members overseas. She doesn't need to worry about that. She wishes that all the Wen family members would go abroad, so that the pressure on her parents would be less, and she wouldn't have to worry about them.
Just thinking about her relatives on both sides of the family line made Jiang Qiao's back teeth ache. If this were before, she would definitely be a rich young lady, but not now. Being associated with these kinds of people means receiving completely different treatment.
Wen Songtao, of course, had no idea what Jiang Qiao was worried about. He was preoccupied with figuring out how to talk to the child. Making a phone call was quick, but there was an operator in between, so he had to be careful what he said.
Jiang Qiao was anxious and quickly followed Gu Zhengfeng, pulling Wen Songtao with her. When they arrived, Jiang Qiao asked Gu Zhengfeng for a number. Hearing Song Shutian's voice on the other end, she didn't waste any words, "I have something important to tell you—"
Before he could speak, Gu Zhengfeng grabbed the phone from the side and said, "I'll talk to him."
He didn't know what was going on with Song Shutian, or who the man next to Jiang Qiao was. But then he realized that the man next to her was most likely her father, Gu Zhengfeng. He just didn't know why the other party had snatched the phone.
Listen up—
Immediately, Gu Zhengfeng started tapping on the microphone. Wen Songtao didn't understand, but Jiang Qiao heard it clearly, mainly because she was also frightened by her father's Morse code.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhengfeng was so capable that he could do this. Not only was she surprised, but even Song Shutian on the other end of the phone was taken aback. However, he was also frightened by what he heard.
"I understand. I'll get on it right away. We'll talk about it later if anything comes up."
Gu Zhengfeng put down the phone, turned to look at his dumbfounded daughter, and smiled smugly.
"What's wrong? Is there a question?"
Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "I didn't understand. Maybe you can teach me later?"
Gu Zhengfeng patted his daughter's head and said, "Alright, it's nothing. Dad will teach you everything later."
Although Wen Songtao didn't know what his son-in-law was typing, he had heard of some of the things.
He sighed, "You shouldn't spoil the child like that. Why make him learn so much? He's not going to work in this industry."
Gu Zhengfeng gave a wry smile. He could tell his father-in-law that his daughter had made enemies with enemy agents, but he couldn't, for fear of frightening the old man.
"It's good to learn more. You never know when it might come in handy. Having more skills is never a bad thing. You won't lose out by mastering more skills."
Gu Zhengfeng gave Wen Songtao his phone number. On the phone, the old man only said one sentence to his eldest son: "No matter what it is, wait until I get back to talk about it. I can be back in a month, and we can talk when we meet."
Wen Bochen on the other end of the phone was still a little puzzled. What was wrong with his father? Hadn't they already discussed it? Why did he change his mind?
However, since the old man specifically called to say this, there must be something going on, and it's something that's inconvenient to talk about.
"Okay, I got it. Take care of yourself, I'll be waiting for you to come back."
