Mu Huaiqing looked up at the bright moon in the sky and thought for a while.
"Yuqi's grandpa and your grandpa and I grew up together. The house not far from the street is theirs. We went to school together when we were young. Both the Mu and Shen families have businesses, but the Shen family's is bigger. Their business was spread all over the country at that time. Our Mu family only has a small business, but it was considered good at that time."
After hearing his grandfather's story about Yuqi's grandfather's family, Mu Jingran was a little bit surprised. He looked at Mu Huaiqing and said.
"Then why didn't Aunt Chen take Yuqi overseas? That way, Yuqi wouldn't have encountered so many things?"
Mu Huaiqing shook his head. "I really don't know about this. Back then, our family was in a bad situation. Your uncle and I were also persecuted by the SRB. We were already struggling to protect ourselves, and we didn't know if we could escape the investigation."
Although we had not been sent down to the countryside at that time, we had no personal freedom. I only heard by chance that your aunt Chen and others were preparing to go overseas, and I only heard about Yuqi being sent to someone else. I never heard anything about her again.
Mu Huaiqing also smiled bitterly when he said this. In fact, Yuqi is a little similar to your Aunt Chen, but I didn't recognize her because there are many people who look alike in this world. I didn't think about it. I didn't expect Yuqi to be Qingrou's child.
Grandma Sun on the side also sighed.
"Isn't it the same for me? I just felt that this girl was kind and friendly. I never thought that she was a gentle girl."
Mu Jingran asked again. "Grandpa, Yuqi and his family were actually able to travel overseas back then. Could it be that they still had connections overseas?"
Mu Huaiqing nodded. "Regarding this matter, no one else actually knows. Qingrou also has an uncle who went overseas in his early years, but no one knows about it. It was in the 1940s when Qingrou's uncle went overseas. The Shen family said that he died while doing business abroad."
Hearing this, Mu Jingran finally understood why the Shen family hadn't been held accountable for their overseas connections. However, he also admired the Shen family's foresight.
"Later, your grandmother and I were also sent down. I never expected that the girl I met in Northeast China would be Qingrou's daughter. As for why they didn't bring Yuqi with them, that's unknown."
Let’s not talk about it here for now, but Gu Zhengshan and Zhuang Xinlan were also angry when they returned to the compound.
This made Gu Tingjun, who didn't know why the two elders went out, a little confused. What happened to these two people? Why did they come back like this after going out for a while?
"Mom and Dad, what's wrong with you? Is the second child disobeying you again? Just wait, I'll go and deal with him."
After saying that, he put down the newspaper in his hand and prepared to go out to settle the score with Gu Tingyan, but was stopped by Zhuang Xinlan.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just ran into an old friend and talked to him for a few minutes. Your dad was a little angry, that's all!"
Gu Tingjun blinked and asked pretending to be indifferent.
"Who is it? Could it be that old man from the Lu family?"
Zhuang Xinlan shook her head.
"No, don't worry about it. Have you arranged your work?"
When talking about work, Gu Tingjun's face suddenly fell and he said with a feeling of grievance.
"Dad, I asked today, and I guess I'll have to wait a little longer for my job. I don't think it's going to be a good one. I'm not as lucky as my second son, who went straight to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission after returning. I'm afraid I'll have to go down to the company."
Gu Zhengshan was angry at the moment. When he heard what Gu Tingjun said, he frowned and thought for a moment.
"I understand. I'll call the second brother first and ask him to think of a solution!"
In Gu Zhengshan's eyes, the eldest brother cannot have a lower position than the second brother no matter what, otherwise how can he hold his head up and speak in the family in the future?
Seeing that his father had agreed to help, Gu Tingjun said a few words and went upstairs. Zhuang Xinlan felt a little distressed when she saw the boss's expression, but she knew that the old man was angry at the moment, so she should say less words to make him angry.
Gu Zhengshan sighed, "It seems that the girl is very resentful towards us! It must be that Mr. Chen said something excessive at the time, which caused the girl to have a grudge against us."
Zhuang Xinlan, who was sitting beside him, said with a worried look on her face.
"Old man, if this girl doesn't recognize us, then what can we do about that matter? You have to tell Old Yang, otherwise we don't know when our third brother will be able to come back."
Gu Zhengshan narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time before saying, "If it really doesn't work, let's just use force. When the time comes, let's make it a done deal and see if she still recognizes it."
Zhuang Xinlan was also shocked after hearing this. "Old man, are you saying you'll use the same method you used against Shen Qingrou back then?"
Gu Zhengshan nodded.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Otherwise, according to the ruling from above, we won't be able to see the third brother for another ten years. With our bodies like this, we don't know if we can even last ten years."
When Zhuang Xinlan heard Gu Zhengshan say this, her heart ached and she complained.
"Look at you. Back then, you insisted on letting the third son marry the daughter of the Shen family. In the end, you saved the eldest son, but ruined the third son. Disheartened, the third son gave up on himself and hooked up with that woman surnamed Liang. Now, look what's going on. The two children they gave birth to are not the third son's. You're raising someone else's children!"
Gu Zhengshan glared at Zhuang Xinlan.
"What else can we do? If we hadn't filled the hole at that time, not only the boss, but our entire Gu family would have been ruined."
After Gu Zhengshan finished speaking, he no longer paid any attention to Zhuang Xinlan, but went into the study room angrily. Now was not the time to argue here, but he had to find a way to make that girl surrender, otherwise, he might not be able to see the third brother again in this life.
If this plan succeeds, then that little girl will have fulfilled her filial piety. No matter what, he is still her biological father, right?
Sun Yuqi didn't know at this time that Gu Zhengshan still wanted to plot against her. She was packing her luggage and preparing to go back to the Northeast. After thinking about it, she felt that it would be better to stay in the Northeast for the rest of the time. Since the Gu family now knew that she was in Beijing, they would definitely harass her constantly in the future. She was afraid that she would not be able to study well. Grandpa Mu also said today that she had mastered all the knowledge points. All that was left was to do more exercises and read more books, so returning to the Northeast would not affect anything.
The next morning, Sun Yuqi got up early and went out. After having breakfast at a small restaurant at the entrance of the alley, she went to the train station to buy a ticket.
