"My surname is Meng. I am from the Meng family in Changning City. My maternal grandparents were retired from the military. The current factory director of the Changning City Machinery Factory is Lu Jianjun from the Lu family in Beijing. The previous factory director was my maternal grandfather."
Xu Jing was taken aback. "The Meng family? Isn't your father's surname Wu? You have your mother's surname? Oh right, those people who claim to be your older brother and sister, they're surnamed Wu. Aren't they your stepmother's sisters' children? How come they have the same surname as your father, Wu? Is it a coincidence?"
Meng Fuyan replied, "I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I know that they have been surnamed Wu since they were young. My mother has been gone for three years. Before my stepmother married into the family, my father had already arranged for them to have a very good job in the machinery factory. Before my mother passed away, their jobs were not as good as they are now."
“My father was a son-in-law who married into the family. Three years ago, before my mother passed away, he had not yet become the deputy factory director. At that time, he did not have enough power. Later, when he became capable, he arranged good jobs for his siblings.”
Xu Jing was stunned; he sensed there was more to this than met the eye!
“I’ve heard of Changning Machinery Factory. It’s one of the top-performing factories in the entire southern city. Your maternal grandfather was the previous factory director, and your father is the current deputy factory director. Your family’s financial situation is indeed much better than the average person’s. But in Beijing, I’ve seen many families at this level, but I haven’t seen many who live as well as you. If you are so highly regarded, why would you be sent to the countryside? Did your stepmother dare to secretly enroll you? I heard you say before that you had a good job before you went to the countryside.”
He had guessed some of Meng Fuyan's background, but there were too many contradictions.
Meng Fuyan smiled and said, "My mother was the only daughter of the Meng family. Before she passed away, she was the top foreign exchange performer in Changning City. I only have one younger brother, so of course my circumstances are good."
Xu Jing: "..."
Got it!
