"This...is this really my uncle? His biological son?"
In the restaurant, Meng Yuzhen's face was full of disbelief and her eyes were filled with excitement.
Meng Qidi on the side lowered her eyes, with a hint of dark light in her eyes. If Meng Yuzhen had not looked at her, and if there was not such a hint of complacency in her eyes, perhaps it would have been more convincing.
Zhao Dezhong handed over the photo in his hand without waiting for Zhao Hong to speak. "This is your mother when she was a child. Your grandmother passed away early, and my brother and I were the only ones left at home. One time when I came back from going out, I found..."
The old man's eyes were filled with tears. "When your mother left, we were separated by decades of life and death..."
"Brother..." Zhao Hong was full of excitement. If she hadn't known that this was arranged by Xiao Qi, she would have believed it...
The fake brother and sister were full of excitement, and their acting skills were explosive. Meng Qidi couldn't help but take a look, and then the corners of her mouth twitched...
Could you please be a little more perfunctory? Not just a photo of a little girl, at least a yellowed photo...
At least it's convincing, right?
The next clip is the mother and daughter hugging each other and crying excitedly. Of course, Meng Qidi thinks that this may be a kind of joy for them, as they have finally gotten rid of the mud legs...
As if she just realized Meng Qidi was around, Meng Yuzhen wiped away her tears and said, "Xiao Qidi, I'm sorry, I was too excited. This is our uncle."
Meng Qidi glanced at Zhao Hong calmly, "You didn't tell her that I'm not your biological child?"
Zhao Hong was slightly stunned. She never expected Meng Qidi to bring this up suddenly. Didn’t she give her advice before?
"Not my biological child?" Meng Yuzhen looked at Zhao Hong in disbelief, "Mom, are you sorry for my dad?"
Zhao Hong opened her mouth, her face full of embarrassment, but she didn't know where to start.
Meng Qidi chuckled, "Don't you know that your parents are divorced?"
Meng Yuzhen looked at Zhao Hong, who pursed her lips and turned away.
Zhao Dezhong was happy to watch the fun and did not interrupt the conversation between the mother and daughter.
Perhaps realizing that it was not a good time to say this, Meng Yuzhen took a deep breath and suppressed the resentment in her heart, "Uncle, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."
Zhao Dezhong shook his head. "It's my uncle who is useless. You have suffered. Come back with me later and I will hold a family recognition party for you."
"Thank you, brother." Zhao Hong's face was full of excitement, and she had forgotten that this was just a transaction.
The three of them were talking so excitedly that it seemed as if everyone had forgotten about Meng Qidi standing beside them.
The three men left Meng Qidi and walked out of the restaurant. Meng Qidi was not angry. She stood up calmly and even paid the bill.
It's a good trick to lure someone into a trap.
When Meng Qidi slowly arrived at the old man's house, Zhao Hong and her daughter were choosing a room. Seeing Meng Qidi, Meng Yuzhen smiled.
"Xiao Qi, I'm so sorry. Although you are my uncle's student, you are not related to us by blood. I won't bring you with me to live in my uncle's house. It's so embarrassing for you to live here."
Zhao Hong secretly glanced at Meng Qidi, fearing that she would be angry, so she reached out and tugged at her daughter, lowering her voice, "Yuzhen, Xiaoqi is your sister, how could you..."
"Mom, even though Xiaoqi has a good relationship with uncle, what if people gossip about him if he lives here? We are different, we are family."
Meng Qidi chuckled, "Don't worry, I don't want to live here with this old man either, you don't have to worry."
Meng Qidi was not angry, and Zhao Hong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have you chosen the room? We don't need to arrange things, right? I haven't received my salary yet, and I don't know if the last bit of money is enough to hold the banquet..." Zhao Dezhong appeared at the door and asked with some embarrassment.
The old man was being stingy in disguise, and Meng Qidi twitched her lips...
Meng Yuzhen quickly said, "Uncle, no, no, we have money, we can buy it ourselves."
"Yuzhen." Zhao Hong hurriedly grabbed her daughter. She was in debt, so where would she get the money?
Zhao Dezhong breathed a sigh of relief, "Just as long as you don't blame your uncle."
Glancing at Meng Qidi who was watching the show next to him, he said with a serious face, "Xiao Qi, come out with me for a moment. Didn't Ling Xiao receive an allowance recently? Ask him to lend me some. I need to do an experiment."
Meng Qidi looked at the childish old man speechlessly and followed him out silently...
If you don't want to spend money on this mother and daughter, just say so directly. Why go around in such a long way...
As soon as the teacher and the student left, Zhao Hong hurriedly asked, "Yuzhen, where did you get the money? Give me two thousand yuan! Quick!"
Meng Yuzhen frowned, "Why do you need so much money?"
She said it easily, one or two thousand is not just two dollars!
"I owe it to others, give it to me now!" Zhao Hong grabbed her daughter's arm tightly.
Meng Yuzhen frowned as her arm ached, and scratched her hand, "I don't have that much money."
Zhao Hong's face became grim as her daughter refused to give her money and she was almost in despair.
"Where's the man you followed? Go ask him for it! I saw it clearly at the Guangsheng Dance Hall!"
Meng Yuzhen pursed her lips tightly, regretting that she had acknowledged her relatives. As expected, Zhao Hong kept asking for money...
"Alright! If you don't want to give it to me, I will go find your uncle right now and sever all ties with him!"
Zhao Hong threatened, but she didn't know that she had accidentally made the right threat.
Sure enough, Meng Yuzhen's face changed slightly, "Why are you so anxious? I'll go ask him if he has any money."
Faced with such a threat from Zhao Hong, she had no choice but to agree. Qiu Cheng had made her Zhao Dezhong's student before, just to steal his skills.
Now, she has been able to transform from a student into a biological niece, which is of course twice the result with half the effort. If she uses this recognition of kinship to find Qiu Cheng, she will definitely get the money.
With this kind of psychological preparation, Meng Yuzhen calmed down and said, "Why do you want so much money? If you don't tell me, I would rather not be a member of the Zhao family than give you any money."
Zhao Hong knew her daughter would definitely keep her word, but she...
"Don't want to tell? Okay, I'll go find Qiu Cheng or my uncle now." Meng Yuzhen liked calling her uncle, and there was no day that she couldn't talk about.
"No, Yuzhen, let me tell you something." Zhao Hong grabbed Meng Yuzhen and said, "I... I owe a gambling debt of two thousand yuan."
"You actually went to gamble? Do you want to live?" For the first time, Meng Yuzhen wanted to get rid of this mother who was holding her back.
"I... I was cheated." Zhao Hong pursed her lips. That man was a big liar. Not only did he cheat all her money, but he also owed her a lot of foreign debts. She was really desperate now...
Meng Yuzhen said, "Now that you are in Beijing, what are you afraid of?"
Zhao Hong made a bitter face. "They...they followed me to Jing City and said that if I didn't pay back the money, they...they would chop off my hands. Yuzhen, help me. You are the only one who can help me now."
Seeing Zhao Hong pulling her arm, Meng Yuzhen finally showed a trace of impatience in her eyes. If it wasn't for getting the experimental report, she wouldn't have to deal with Zhao Hong.
