Wei Wuyan thought for a moment and then said:
"Oh, there's one more thing. That woman Li Shuqing is going to hold a birthday party for Wei Chunming, and Ling Qingyue will also go. And a few days ago, our people saw Chen Zenian going in and out of her house, and they seemed very intimate..."
"Chen Zenian and Ling Qingyue know each other?" Feng Lingyu sat up from the sofa and said with some surprise.
Wei Wuyan frowned and asked tentatively: "Xiao Yu, have you forgotten? There is also a Chen family among the four great ministerial families..."
Feng Lingyu sat there silently. For a moment, she really didn't expect that Chen Zenian would be a member of the Chen family.
Now that he and Ling Qingyue have a very close relationship, does it mean that the Chen family has already had a cooperative relationship with Ling Qingyue, and are they - birds of a feather?
"Didn't they say the Chen family went abroad? Why are they in Hong Kong again?"
Because of this reason, Feng Lingyu never thought of Chen Zenian as a member of the Chen family.
Wei Wuyan shook his head: "I'm not sure either. As far as I can remember, our family has only been in contact with Ling Qingyue and the others. The Chen family just knows about it."
I originally thought that I just needed to deal with Ling Qingyue, but I didn't expect that she was involved with the Chen family again.
I still don’t know if my parents’ problems have anything to do with the Chen family…
Things suddenly became a mess again.
Feng Lingyu tapped her white fingers lightly on her knees, which was her signature movement when she was thinking.
"Can we sneak into the Wei family's banquet? Do you have any ideas?" Feng Lingyu suddenly asked.
Ling Qingyue, the Wei family, and now the Chen family is involved...
They will definitely be at this banquet, and maybe they can find out some key information.
Wei Wuyan was stunned. He just told Xiaoyu the news and didn't expect that she would want to go in and take a look.
Her eyes revealed her seriousness, and it was obvious that she was not joking.
"Yes, I do..." Wei Wuyan looked at Feng Lingyu hesitantly: "Can you cook?"
Feng Lingyu was confused: "What do you mean?"
"They always need a cook for their banquets. You can pretend to be a cook and sneak in."
The reason why Wei Wuyan made this suggestion was because he knew that Chef Li, the chef often hired by the Wei family, was a greedy person, and he should be able to get in by working hard with him.
Chef Li used to be the chef of the Wei family. Later, when society changed, Grandpa Wei arranged for him to work as a chef in a garment factory in Shanghai.
With this friendship in mind, whenever the Wei family had something to do, Chef Li would bring his apprentices to cook.
This time should be no exception.
"I can do it..." Feng Lingyu nodded. She could indeed cook simple meals.
Besides, since she had been paid, she would just go in for show and would not really be asked to cook. Chef Li was also afraid that his reputation would be ruined in her hands.
"Do you...want to go back and take a look?"
Feng Lingyu saw Wei Wuyan sitting there in a daze with his head down and not saying anything, so he asked tentatively.
Think about it, it has been three years since Wei Wuyan ran away from home, he must be missing home very much.
"No." Wei Wuyan shook his head.
"One day, I will return with honor." A determined light flashed in his eyes.
Unlike Feng Lingyu, that was the home where he grew up and carried countless memories for him.
It’s fine that Li Shuqing and her son have usurped the throne, but why should he, the legitimate heir, go back secretly?
"Besides, you should always leave someone you trust outside when you go in, so that I can help you if anything happens. I'll draw you a topographical map of the Wei family, and you can act accordingly."
Just do it.
Wei Wuyan found a pen and paper, then lay on the table and started drawing a map.
Although he had been a wanderer since childhood, he still had some basic drawing skills. After a few strokes, a simple map gradually took shape.
Feng Lingyu stood aside and watched for a while, then fell into deep thought.
Thinking back to when he was in the village, Huaiqing also had a good foundation in painting. Although he was not as good as professionals like Sang Fu and the old lady, he was more than capable of surpassing ordinary people.
This is probably the heritage of the family. Even the most unpromising child must learn the most basic things.
Wei Wuyan didn't notice Feng Lingyu's envy. He drew a map and said, "I've been away for a few years, and I don't know if the layout of the house has changed. That woman Li Shuqing definitely doesn't want any traces of my mother and brother to remain in the house..."
"You're so smart, I'll draw the layout for you and you'll know where to go."
As he spoke, his tone gradually lowered: "Xiao Yu, can I ask you for a favor?"
Perhaps it was because he had been running around outside for the past two years, Wei Wuyan's originally fair skin had been tanned very dark. At this moment, his facial features were wrinkled and he looked so pitiful that Feng Lingyu reminded him of a teddy bear.
Feng Lingyu raised an eyebrow: "What's the matter?"
Since he is so pitiful, let's help him...
"My mother left many things at the Wei family before she passed away. I don't know if they are still there... Among them is a diamond necklace. She loved it the most and said she would give it to her daughter-in-law. I would like you to help me get the necklace back."
Wei Wuyan had a reason for saying this.
The cheap stuff must have been dealt with by Li Shuqing long ago, but the diamond necklace was so valuable that the woman must have been reluctant to destroy it and kept it for herself.
"Okay. I'll try. But I can't guarantee that I can get it back." Feng Lingyu said bluntly.
"It's okay!" Wei Wuyan's previous gloomy look was swept away, and he smiled, revealing a section of his big white teeth, "You can help me find it, I'm already very grateful to you!"
He didn't think he would be able to get it back, but there was always hope. What if?
Her mother is gone, her brother is gone too, and she always has to take back her favorite things from before they died.
Wei Wuyan spread out the map and began to explain the important points to Feng Lingyu bit by bit, fearing that she would not understand.
"There is a flower bed here. If it is still there, there is a dead corner at the end of it. It is where the gardening tools are usually placed. I often hid there when I was a child..."
Feng Lingyu listened while trying to do two things at the same time.
She was still thinking, this kid is so serious and so miserable, why not just take all of Li Shuqing's stuff away...
She has her own space, and there are no cameras around, so she can hide whenever she wants.
-------------------------------------
"Chef Li, this is my sister. Please be patient with her!" A young man in a sweatshirt said with a smile on his face, while he took out a roll of money and a pack of cigarettes.
"She wants to go in with you to see the world. When the time is up, just bring her out."
In front of him stood a short, fat, middle-aged man in a white chef's uniform, his face and hands greasy.
Chef Li weighed the money and cigarettes in his hands and was very satisfied with the boy's sense of manner.
His gaze turned to the woman who had been standing aside without saying a word.
He looked to be in his twenties, with long bangs covering his forehead, dull and empty eyes, and many pockmarks on his face. His facial features were unclear and he looked disgusting.
Chef Li turned his eyes away in disgust. He thought that since he was so ugly and looked so honest, he shouldn't cause any trouble.
The most important thing is that with her looks, no one would be blind enough to fall in love with her.
Five dollars for a pack of cigarettes and a free job, what a bargain!
Having made up his mind, Chef Li raised his chin and said arrogantly, "Alright. Since you are sensible, follow me in a while. Don't run around after you go in. Otherwise, if you get into trouble, I won't care about you."
These words were a warning to her to be more honest.
"Okay, don't worry, my sister is the most obedient." The young man raised his thick black eyebrows and responded with a smile.
