Lu Yuan took it suspiciously, and after a closer look, he was speechless. What did she mean by saying that if he gained wealth with her help in the future, he would have to share half with her?
Just kidding, how can this have any binding force?
This thing has absolutely no legal effect; signing it is pointless.
Of course, Lu Yuan wouldn't remind her; he quickly signed his name.
Mo Lijuan happily put the agreement away; it was an agreement she had spent several nights revising and rewriting.
She knew that the piece of paper might not have legal effect, but it was still a handle on Lu Yuan, evidence that the two of them had plotted together and were tied to each other.
If the other party reneges on the agreement or fails to act according to it, she will make it public, and he will not get away with it.
"Now you can tell me what secrets my godparents have," Lu Yuan said.
Mo Lijuan nodded slightly, "Of course, I know that their ancestors left them a huge fortune, and the key is in the hands of your godparents. Moreover, only your godparents know where the treasure is..."
She then recounted what she had heard that day.
That's right, she overheard everything Xiao Fan, Gao Weishan, and Xiao Biyun said outside the courtyard that day.
There are problems like puzzle boxes that no one can open and can't get the key, and children going missing.
If a box can't be opened, just split it open.
"You'll find a way to trick them into giving you the key and letting them tell you the location of the treasure. Then everything will be yours."
Lu Yuan was in a state of shock. Holy crap, one second he found out he was his godparents' biological son, and the next second someone told him that his godparents had a treasure in their house.
What kind of fate does he have?
He didn't show it on his face, and asked again, "You said it yourself, it was left to them by their ancestors. How can I lie to them? Can I just say a few nice words and they'll give me the key and tell me where the treasure is?"
Mo Lijuan smiled smugly, "I have my own way of doing things, and it makes sense for me to want half of it."
Then she explained her plan.
“Your godparents lost a child and have been searching for him. You can impersonate that child and say you are their biological son.”
Lu Yuan didn't expect that she even knew about her godparents' lost child and their ongoing search. Just how much did this woman know about her godparents?
But has she ever considered the possibility that she really is her godfather and godmother's biological son?
He looked at her strangely and listened as she continued.
“Although they lost a girl, your godmother fainted during childbirth and your godfather wasn’t around, so it’s normal that the doctor was too busy and made a mistake with the baby.”
"There's another thing, your godmother knows the couple who took the child, but that's okay. You can conspire with your dad and say that a distant relative of his entrusted you to him before he died. That relative's name is Lu Daniu, which also happens to be the same surname. Saying that you're a relative makes perfect sense."
"But why would they believe it?" Lu Yuan asked.
Mo Lijuan was very confident. "Your father has already mentioned Lu Daniu, so your godparents will definitely believe it. More importantly, you look somewhat like your godmother. This is a golden opportunity. Don't you think all these coincidences are just right? It's like God is helping us succeed?"
"Once they've decided you're their son, they'll definitely give you the keys and tell you where the property is. Don't forget my half then."
Lu Yuan laughed, "Alright, just wait and see!"
After saying that, he didn't linger any longer, waved, and left.
He really wanted to tell her that she didn't need to go through all that trouble, because he truly was his godparents' biological son.
However, the treasures left by our ancestors cannot be known to outsiders now. In this day and age, wealth is a sensitive issue. If we are not careful, we may be labeled as capitalists, and not only will our property be confiscated, but we may also be sent to the countryside.
If Mo Lijuan finds out that she can't get what she wants, she'll definitely come after them and spread the secret, which will bring disaster to the Gao and Xiao families.
For now, we can only try to keep her calm and give them time to handle the situation properly before letting her know the truth.
Lu Yuan hadn't gone far when Xiao Fan caught up with him.
“I just saw you talking to your cousin’s sister-in-law from a distance. Don’t you dislike her? How come you could talk to her for so long?”
Lu Yuan turned his head to look at him, "Cousin-in-law?"
Xiao Fan touched his nose. "Isn't that right? You're my cousin, so shouldn't I call your wife 'cousin's wife'?"
Lu Yuan nodded, "No problem!"
A smile crept onto my face; I suddenly realized that having a cousin like this wasn't so bad.
As soon as the two entered the courtyard after returning home, Xiao Fan couldn't wait to shout into the house, "Aunt and Uncle?"
Xiao Biyun and Wen Moxue came out of the house when they heard the noise. Gao Weishan was not here today, so he didn't drag the little girl to study medical knowledge. The two of them took the opportunity to study making clothes together. One of them could make a design, and they cooperated very well.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Biyun asked with a smile.
This was the first time she had ever heard her nephew call her in such a cheerful voice.
Xiao Fan didn't see Gao Weishan and asked, "Aunt, where's Uncle?"
With such wonderful news, how could my uncle be absent?
"Your uncle has gone back to the commune for some business. He'll be back tonight."
Actually, she went to the city. Yesterday she took Lu Yuan's ginseng and lingzhi and said she would pay him. Today she took her bankbook to the city to withdraw the money.
Xiao Fan was disappointed. Why did his uncle have to return to the commune today? Oh well, never mind him for now!
He walked happily to Xiao Biyun, then turned to look at Lu Yuan and grinned foolishly.
Lu Yuan turned his head away. Where was his cool and aloof demeanor? He looked like a complete idiot. It was unbearable to look at.
Xiao Biyun and Wen Moxue also felt that he was acting strangely today, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What exactly do you want?" Xiao Biyun asked again.
Xiao Fan grinned, showing off his white teeth, and said, "Auntie, we found him! We found my cousin!"
"What cousin did you find?" Xiao Biyun didn't understand at all.
“It’s your and your uncle’s child, not your cousin but your brother. The child you gave birth to back then was not a daughter but a son. I’ve found Lu Daniu.”
The words "Lu Daniu has been found" instantly broke Xiao Biyun's defenses, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She swayed, but Xiao Fan caught her with lightning speed, "Auntie?"
Xiao Biyun disregarded everything else and grabbed Xiao Fan's arm as if it were a lifeline.
Choking back tears, she asked, "Xiao Fan, where is she? Where is the child? Where is Lu Daniu?"
Xiao Fan looked at Lu Yuan, and smiled slightly, "It's Lu Yuan, Aunt. Lu Yuan is your and Uncle's biological child. Lu Guoqing is Lu Daniu."
Xiao Biyun suddenly looked at Lu Yuan, her eyes widening in disbelief as she stared at the face that resembled her own, thinking how wonderful it would be if this were really true!
She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word or ask a question. She just stared at him blankly, her moist eyes full of hope and expectation.
