Chapter 254 Wu Yongzhang
The couple were busy with their own work, and they would come back exhausted every night.
On the eighteenth day of the Goyan invasion of the Dagula galaxy, Atom suddenly received a message from Wu Qi, saying that they were having a family gathering and hoped that he could bring his wife and children to attend.
"It means it wants to recognize you." Zhuang Yuelan guessed that family gatherings can make people think about many things.
"I'm not a member of the Wu family, so they can't possibly recognize me. Wu Qi probably doesn't know that I already know my life experience. Given the current environment of the Dagula galaxy, the Wu family is likely to send some of their family members away." Atom speculated.
Zhuang Yuelan immediately understood what was going on. Although the old lady of the Wu family was a sixth-level cultivator, she was already old. As far as they knew, her two sons were very filial to her and would probably not leave her behind to take risks.
Under the current circumstances, Madam Wu might want to meet Atom, so she made this arrangement.
Atom never knew who his biological mother was since he was a child, and he also believed that his biological mother did not want to recognize him.
But ever since he knew that the old lady of the Wu family was his biological mother, Wu Qi's care for him over the past twenty years was no longer the reason Wu Qi said that he valued him because he admired him.
Wu Dongqi's help to the couple must have been because of Madam Wu.
"Are you going?" Zhuang Yuelan asked. She must have seen what Atom thought. Whether he went or not, she would accompany him.
Atom was slow to answer. He had suffered so much pain and embarrassment since he was a child because of his identity as a bastard. He couldn't just erase his past and not take it seriously.
He remembered that when he came back and knew that Mr. Xi had passed away, all his resentment towards Mr. Xi turned into...
Atom hadn't made up his mind yet, and he was obviously uneasy. Zhuang Yuelan thought about it and decided to persuade him: "You know the Great Purge is coming, and none of us knows what we will face after that. I don't want you to have any regrets."
Zhuang Yuelan had known Atom since she was a child, and she knew how handsome he looked on the surface, but how lonely he was deep down.
In the past, she also hated Atom's biological mother for being cruel and indifferent to him.
But now, she felt that the Wu family did better than the Xi family. At least when the wife of the Xi family wanted to kill them, it was the Wu family who saved them.
Although Zhuang Yuelan had doubts in her heart, whether the Wu family knew about Zhao Fanny's plan, and whether the Wu family had any plan in it.
No matter what, the life-saving grace is real. Without the Wu family's rescue, the couple would have died long ago.
Although these still cannot make up for the damage suffered by Atom, the end of the world has come on time.
So it would be good to go meet her and see what she would say, but Atom was worried.
…
Mai Dongzi, who is studying at Teito University, didn't know that her mother had gone to the Wu family, so she was surprised when she received Wu Yongzhang's video message.
You have to know that those who ask to start a video chat usually have a very good relationship with each other. Mai Dongzi and Wu Yongzhang are not familiar with each other at all.
When she was a freshman before, Wu Yongzhang was already a senior. When she was a sophomore, Wu Yongzhang was a fifth year and had been interning outside the whole time.
Ever since she assisted Wu Yongzhang in taking the medicine to enhance his cultivation potential, Wu Yongzhang's mother misunderstood their relationship, which made them both very embarrassed. Since then, Wu Yongzhang has only sent her a few greeting messages, and the two have not contacted each other again.
So Mai Dongzi couldn't understand why Wu Yongzhang would ask her for a video call at this time.
However, thinking of Wu Yongzhang's other identity, Mai Dongzi finally answered his message.
Wu Yongzhang on the other side of the video looked much more mature than before, but what caught people's attention was that he had become much darker.
It is obvious that he has recently stayed on a planet with sufficient starlight for some time, otherwise he would not be so dark.
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Wu Yongzhang looked at Mai Dongzi and said, "Do you know that I met your mother-in-law today? Do you know where I met them?"
As for Wu Yongzhang's question and why Wu Yongzhang knew that it was her mother, Mai Dongzi had already guessed it in his heart.
However, she did not show any expression, and answered blankly: "I don't know, how do you know that is my mother?"
"Your mother came to visit our house this evening, and I found out that your father is my half-mother's younger brother, and you are actually my cousin." Wu Yongzhang said with some excitement.
It was obvious that he had no objection to Atom's identity, and was even happy that Mai Dongzi was his cousin.
"Are you sure? How did you know?" Mai Dongzi used doubt to cover up his reaction.
She didn't know what happened when her mother went to Wu's house tonight. Was she honestly admitting that she already knew about it, or was she pretending to know nothing?
Mai Dongzi felt that it would be bad for her to be honest or deny it, so she did not give Wu Yongzhang the opportunity to ask this question.
Wu Yongzhang didn't notice that Mai Dongzi was quietly changing the subject, and answered honestly: "Tonight, my grandma... Uncle Atom had a hard time accepting it. After uncle left, grandma was very sad."
Mai Dongzi understood that it was very likely that Atom was unwilling to accept the old lady of the Wu family. They did not give up and wanted to make Wu Yongzhang have some friendship with them, so they let Wu Yongzhang contact them, hoping to soften their father's attitude through themselves.
"I'm sorry, only my father admitted this, and I don't believe it. However, I want to say something for my father. It's not that my father wanted to be a bastard. His birth was not his choice. It's just that the world's shame on bastards fell on my father. What he has endured since he was a child cannot be soothed by a few words. Moreover, as of today, the role of mother has never appeared in his life." Mai Dongzi said.
Perhaps Wu Yongzhang's happiness was real. The Wu family did not want to clarify the relationship with Adam at this time, but Mai Dongzi felt that it was not simple.
If it were simple, Wu Yongzhang wouldn't have sent this message.
After hanging up the Feixiang with Wu Yongzhang, Mai Dongzi thought about it and called his mother.
She didn't know how her mother would react to this matter and was afraid that asking her mother directly would make her feel uncomfortable.
According to Wu Yongzhang, her mother accompanied her mother to the Wu family today, so she asked her mother first.
"Why are you texting me at this time?" Zhuang Yuelan asked curiously.
This is Mai Dongzi's personal cultivation time. Without special reasons, Zhuang Yuelan would never send a text message to her daughter at this time.
"I just received a text message from the Wu family." Mai Dongzi said.
