Chapter 240 The Wu Family
"Wu Youqi sent people to save you and me, and took care of you for more than ten years. I am indeed grateful to him. But I can't understand why he would help us when the Wu and Xi families are sworn enemies and Wu Youqi is the younger brother of the head of the Wu family," Mai said thoughtfully.
"It is very likely that the wife of the Xi family's head wanted to kill them, so they rescued them, probably because they wanted to use this incident to deal a heavy blow to the Xi family. After all, this is not only murder, but also a scandal of the Xi family." Mai's mother guessed.
"That's what I thought, too. I suspect it's not just a matter of murder. Wu Youqi may have known for a long time that Nigri had swapped his identity with his son. Nigri wanted Erica to take the credit for saving Prince Arthur and use this opportunity to get close to Prince Arthur. If he reveals this at the right time, Prince Arthur will definitely be furious." Mai Rou gets angry when he thinks of this.
"I saw it in the news that the identity of the daughter was not revealed. It was said that the daughter had been staying quietly in the Xi family after her rebirth. Erica had been pretending to be their daughter, but she had no chance to get close to Prince Arthur." Mother Mai recalled.
"I saw in the video that it was revealed that Fanny Zhao had swapped the identities of her daughter with hers. Lucy was taken away by a man named Wu when she was in danger in the survival live broadcast game. Erica was slapped in the face after approaching Prince Arthur by pretending to be the daughter of Atom. Prince Arthur didn't let Erica get close to him at all." Mai recalled.
"In this case, Prince Arthur is worthy of being the male protagonist. Those evil spirits can't do anything bad in front of him." Mother Mai sighed.
Mai 꿵 agrees with this.
"After 놖 came back to 누 this world and woke up, the matter of the real and fake daughter became a hot topic on the Star Network. 놖 heard that Lucy was going to participate in a live survival game, which turned out to be similar to what 께 said, so she planned to rush to the Blue Water Planet to take her away. As a result, as soon as the live broadcast started, 놖 found that 늳子 had returned, and she was no longer the 께 Lucy who was bullied by Zhao Fanny's family. After confirming that 늳子 had returned, 놖 followed the clues to find you. 놖 believed that 늳子 would surprise them." Mai 꿵 said.
This is why he didn't go look for his daughter. His daughter's ability, this level of live survival game, is really interesting.
"So, the person named Wu who took Lucy away might be you," said Mother Mai.
"That should be the case. Your name in the Wu family is Wu Youming." Mai 꿵 said.
"In reality, the matter of the real daughter has not been exposed, but in the real world, this matter has been exposed." Mother Mai pondered.
"After reading the news reports, I know that Nigri would not want to become famous this way. And they kept it secret for so long, and didn't let Erica completely step on Xiaozi to climb up, so how could it be revealed at this time? It is obvious that someone deliberately revealed this secret, and the person who revealed this secret is very unfriendly to both the Xi family and Xiaozi." Mai 꿵 said.
"So you suspect that it was Wu Youqi who revealed the true and false daughter. Take this opportunity to strike Nigri hard." Mother Mai immediately understood what Mai meant.
The couple speculated on the Wu family's intentions.
"Huh! Why are you looking at me with such a strange look? Is what I said wrong?" Mai 꿵 asked.
The father and mother's inference is a bit far-fetched, but they don't know the inside story, so it's normal for them to have such inferences. Maizi doesn't know whether he should tell the truth.
However, Wu Youqi not only saved his father but also his mother. In addition, given his attitude towards himself, he should have no ill will towards their family.
"Dad, do you know who your mother and grandmother are?" Mai Dongzi said with some difficulty.
"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Mai 꿵 rejected it outright.
He was no longer old enough to wonder about this question. When he traveled through a world more than two thousand years ago, he had a pair of ordinary parents who loved their children very much. He was not at all interested in the parents in this world.
"My dear, if you say so, could it be that your biological mother is related to the Wu family?" Mother Mai asked sharply.
Maizi nodded and gave her a bombshell: "Wu Youqi should be Dad's half-brother."
This news was too shocking for Mai Dongzi. When Mai Dongzi heard that Wu Youqi was his half-brother, he was stunned for a long time and couldn't recover.
Although Mai's mother was also surprised, she did not have the same mental shock as Mai 꿵. She quickly sorted out the context of the incident and determined who 꿵's biological mother was...
This, this, this is too horrifying.
"When my father was born, the previous head of the Wu family had passed away for more than two years. On Grandpa Xi's side, Grandma Xi passed away even earlier, so it was not an extramarital affair." Mai Xiaozi saw that both his mother and father seemed to find it difficult to accept this, so he hurriedly explained.
After hearing Wheat's explanation, Wheat's mother obviously relaxed.
Although Mai has always known that he is an illegitimate child, his father had lost his wife for several years at that time, and he was not the product of an extramarital affair. Therefore, even though he knew that he was an illegitimate child, he did not have the inferiority complex that other illegitimate children had.
Mai has always felt resentful towards his father because his father was unwilling to give him the name of his biological mother and did not care about him at all, making him an illegitimate child. Therefore, he always felt resentful towards his father, and was never willing to accept the things and help his father secretly gave him.
It was not until he knew the identity of his biological mother that Mai understood why his father was unwilling to give his biological mother a name even though he had no wife.
Even if the old lady of the Wu family was a widow, it was impossible for her to marry his father.
Over the years, Atom has never seen his biological mother and has no information about her, so he thinks his biological mother doesn't want to disown him at all.
It's just that Wu Youqi helped the couple in this way, it couldn't be because he was kind and merciful.
There was only one possibility, that was that Madam Wu told Wu Youqi that Mai Wo was his half brother, and asked him to take care of Mai Wo.
Although Wu Youqi's actions were not necessarily true, he saved her and her husband after all, so Mai Woong-woo was very grateful to him.
He was told a secret unexpectedly, and it took Mai 꿵 a while to calm down after being so confused.
"How did you know this, babe? Are you sure the source of the information is true?" Mai asked.
The identities of Madam Wu and Patriarch Xi, and the story of Atom's biological mother were kept a secret, and no one could doubt Madam Wu. How did his daughter know such a secret?
"This information was given by Prince Arthur, the head of the National Intelligence and Security Department of the Blue and Black Empire." Mai 늳子 said.
