Lu Mo left the Sang residence with a heavy heart. The old lady and Gu Nianci did not discuss the events of that year in detail, presumably because they had something difficult to say.
But Lu Mo had roughly guessed some of it and summarized it.
Ye Xunmei is a down-on-his-luck scholar who accidentally meets Gu Nianci, a young lady from a wealthy family. The two fall in love at first sight and secretly pledge their lives to each other.
But after Gu Nianci became pregnant, this woman named Ye Xunmei ran away with Gu Nianci's enemy, Tang Yufen.
Tang Yufen is an even more ruthless character. She seduced Qingqing's maternal grandfather, stole the Xu family's secret recipe, and also did things to harm Gu Nianci. Lu Mo didn't know the specifics of what she did, but it was definitely not a good thing.
Fortunately, Grandpa Xu wasn't completely muddle-headed; he only gave Tang Yufen a recipe for a liniment, but didn't reveal any of the other secret formulas.
But Lu Mo didn't know that it wasn't that Grandpa Xu had preserved the Qingming Festival, but rather that Grandpa Xu didn't know any of the other secret recipes; he only had a recipe for a liniment.
With just a secret recipe for a liniment, Ye Xunmei and Tang Yufen transformed from a down-on-his-luck scholar and a cook's daughter into wealthy tycoons in Hong Kong.
Gu Nianci, on the other hand, went from being a well-bred young lady to being destitute and suffering endless hardships.
It can be said that Gu Nianci's suffering was almost entirely caused by these two people.
Now, the granddaughter of these two people has approached Ye Qingqing again.
The old lady and Gu Nianci were right. Like begets like, and a rat's son will know how to dig a hole. Ye Xunmei and Tang Yufen are of low character, so what good can their offspring be?
I had to remind Qingqing sooner!
Lu Mo was secretly anxious and, without waiting for Ye Qingqing to come over, went directly to Ye Qingqing's school.
School ended quickly. Ye Qingqing was very surprised to see Lu Mo at the gate and ran over happily. Tang Yuanyuan tactfully left and went to the hospital.
"Why did you come here to find me? Did you miss me?" Ye Qingqing teased.
Lu Mo was already used to the girl's occasional teasing, and his expression remained very calm. Moreover, the topic was going to be too heavy, and he guessed that the girl would soon stop laughing.
"We've found out about Ye Susu's situation; you have quite a connection with her!"
Lu Mo took Ye Qingqing to a quiet teahouse and briefly explained what he had found out. The smile on Ye Qingqing's face gradually disappeared, and she became more and more astonished.
"Are Ye Susu and I cousins?"
Ye Qingqing couldn't believe her ears. She used to think that Xiao Tong was the only family she had left in the world, but now she had more and more family members, even including some from Hong Kong.
Lu Mo nodded. "Ye Susu's grandfather, Ye Xunmei, is also your biological grandfather."
Ye Qingqing cursed under her breath!
"Isn't this Ye Xunmei a scumbag? He abandoned his wife and children?"
Ye Qingqing was absolutely certain that if he wasn't a scumbag, how could he have let Gu Nianci suffer alone!
He abandoned his wife and children to go to Hong Kong and live a carefree life. What's most hateful is that he even stole her family's secret recipe!
Lu Mo patted her hand gently, soothingly saying, "Don't be angry. The most important thing now is to deal with Ye Susu. Tang Yufen is despicable, shameless, and ruthless. I estimate that Ye Susu is similar to her grandmother. You must be careful!"
Ye Qingqing gritted her teeth, "I'm not afraid of her at all. If she dares to lay a hand on me, I'll chop off her claws!"
Grandma Gu Nianci may seem gentle and easy to bully, but she's not one to be trifled with!
She will definitely collect every single debt that Ye Xunmei and Tang Yufen owed back then!
double!
