They continued to head towards Xue Dao’s grandfather’s house.
On the way there, Director Xue told Yun Shu about some things about his grandparents' family. "My grandparents live in the countryside and have a serious patriarchal mentality. They even wanted to sell my mother to a cripple as a wife and give the money to my uncle to marry. Later, my mother ran away and never contacted home.
My father started his business from scratch in the capital. When he met my mother, he was not very rich. Later, the two of them supported each other and built up the business.
Their business gradually grew. One year, my mother met a fellow villager who had gone out to work in the capital. The news that she had become rich in the capital spread back to her. My grandfather and my uncle went to the capital to visit my mother several times.
At first they got along pretty well, after all, my mother hadn't seen her relatives for a long time. But later, my grandfather and uncle always asked my mother for money and stole valuable things in the house. My mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she drove them out. My mother cut off all ties with them and hasn't contacted them for more than 30 years.
Until recently, my aunt came to the capital. At first, she said that my grandfather seemed to be dying and was worried about my mother, so she asked my aunt to come to the capital to see her. After my mother fell ill, my aunt helped take care of her in the hospital for a while.
Speaking of this, Director Xue's expression was a bit complicated. "Last time my aunt came to take care of my mom, I thought she was different from my grandpa and uncle and was a good person. When she left, I gave her a big red envelope to express my gratitude. I didn't expect she came with an ulterior motive."
Director Xue has such a tough temper in the entertainment industry because he has a good family background, his family is rich, and his parents are big entrepreneurs who started from scratch.
His mother had done her best for the family. When his grandfather and uncle came to the capital, they took away almost all of his mother's savings and stole valuables from the house.
At that time, his parents almost divorced because of this incident. His uncle was able to build a mansion and buy luxury cars in his hometown, and the money was all taken from his mother.
"Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant."
Yun Shu sighed, "That old man is so mean. He got money from your mother and lived a good life. I guess he doesn't want to die anymore and wants to continue enjoying his life."
After chatting for a while, they arrived at the village where Director Xue's grandfather lived. According to Director Xue, the large and luxurious villa at the entrance of the village was his uncle's house.
Although he had never been here before, his uncle sent photos to his mother after the house was built, and he had seen it from the side.
"We're here."
The car stopped nearby.
Yun Shu said to Xue Dao, "You have to find a way to find the location of the cenotaph. Only by finding the cenotaph can we destroy the seed base and restore your and your grandfather's fate."
"Let me think about how to ask."
Director Xue sat in the car for a while, and finally got out with Yun Shu and went to his uncle's house. Lu Shijing sat in the car waiting for them.
They rushed here from the imperial capital and had been traveling all day. Now it was getting dark. As they approached the big villa, they could smell the fragrance of food.
There was some noisy chatting coming from the villa. From a distance, one could see through the floor-to-ceiling windows that there was a large round table in the living room, and many people were eating around it.
In addition to Director Xue's uncle's family, his grandfather was also there, sitting in the main seat. The others should be other relatives on his grandfather's side, but Director Xue did not know them.
The door was open and everyone's attention was on the dinner table, so no one noticed someone coming outside.
A young man raised his glass and said, "Grandpa, you weren't feeling well before, and we were all worried for a long time. Now that you're better, we're relieved. I'll drink this glass of wine to wish you a long life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman next to him glared at him and said, "What are you talking about? Your great-grandfather will be ninety years old next year."
The young man noticed that the old man in the main seat looked unhappy, so he quickly said, "Grandpa Zeng, I was wrong just now. I wish you a long life, two hundred years!"
After he said this, the old man smiled, but he kept saying, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Who can live to be 200 years old? No one in this world can live that long. They would become immortals."
"Dad, you are not going to become an immortal."
At this time, a sour voice was heard. It was said by Director Xue’s uncle Wu Jiaming.
He took a sip of wine and continued, "After that master helps you build a life base, I won't be able to outlive you. By then, you can still see me off to my death!"
My aunt pulled him and said, "Jiaming, everyone is here, what are you talking about? Stop drinking, you always act crazy when you're drunk!"
"I'm not drunk!"
Wu Jiaming shook off his wife's hand and glared at the old man unwillingly, "Dad, you are so old, what use will you be in the future? Even if you can live another 30 or 40 years, what's the point of living? Why don't you give me this opportunity?
I still want to do big business. Maybe if I succeed, I'll be richer than that Xue or something. Let's see if they dare to look down on others!"
The old man glanced at him and said with a grim expression, "You are not cut out for business. You have lost millions in business over the years!"
"You old fool, you look down on me too?"
Wu Jiaming slammed the table and stood up. "Then tell me, what's the point of living? Are you cut out for business?! If you live another thirty or forty years, you'll have to spend money. We don't have much money left! Unless you go ask your heartless daughter for some more money!"
Hearing this, Director Xue was furious. He thought to himself, how could his mother be called heartless? They had taken away tens of millions of dollars from his family!
These people are ungrateful!
He was about to rush in, but Yun Shu beside him held him back and hid at the door.
Yun Shu whispered to him, "Those two are selfish and only want to take advantage of themselves. Now is the perfect time for them to quarrel. Maybe we can get some useful information."
"All right."
Director Xue finally suppressed his anger and continued to hide outside with Yun Shu to eavesdrop.
"a shame!"
The old man's angry voice came from the villa, and Wu Jiaming was still drunk, using all kinds of dirty words to curse his father as a greedy old man.
My aunt tried to persuade him but to no avail, and he slapped her in the face, saying that she was helping the old man. My aunt felt embarrassed and had to let the other relatives go first to avoid being laughed at.
All the relatives came out, talking about Wu Jiaming as they walked, and did not notice Yun Shu and the others hiding in the corner of the door.
Wu Jiaming, who was in the room, became even more aggressive when he saw all his relatives had left. He slammed the table and said, "I don't care, you have to find me one! You can change your fate, so why can't I?
Give me Xue Yilin's father's life in exchange. I will be a big businessman in the future, with billions of assets. I will provide you with a good retirement life!"
Xue Yilin is the director's name.
