Chapter 255: Name
Zhuang Yuelan was not slow to respond. She understood what was going on when Mai said that. She asked unhappily, "Wu Qi sent you a message. What did he say to you?"
"No, it's Wu Yongzhang, the nephew of Wu Yongqi. He is a senior in the same department as Huiya and me. We met during a competition in school two years ago. He said that you and your father went to the Wu family today, and he knew your father's identity. Did something happen? Why was it so sudden?" Mai asked.
"Today we went to the Wu family as guests and met the head of the Wu family, his brothers, his family members and old lady Wu." Zhuang Yuelan said bluntly.
놇After the end of the previous life, they often listened to their daughters’ opinions. 놇In this world, they are also used to listening to their daughters’ opinions.
So she and her husband did not intend to hide this from their daughter. Even if she did not call back today, they would find a time to tell their daughter tomorrow.
"After we arrived at the Wu family, we were welcomed directly into the Wu family's residence. Wu Qi is very close to you and knew that you couldn't take leave to come here, so he told us about you with regret. He told us about his encounter with you on the spaceship last year and praised you for your extraordinary wit and how you helped their Wu Star Navigation Company survive the disaster of the Great Destruction. It was a pity that they never found a chance to thank you." Zhuang Yuelan said.
Mai Dongdong frowned. After the parasitic beast incident was brought under control, Wu Dongqi personally called Mai Dongdong and gave her a newer small starship that could carry fifty people.
When Mai found out what the gift from Wu Qi was, he was very confused as to why Wu Qi loved giving people small starships as gifts, and he discussed this with Mai Xuan.
Mai Xuan thought that because the small starship was a product of the Wu family, if an outsider wanted to buy it, it would cost at least tens of millions of yuan, but if the Wu family bought it themselves, it might only cost tens of thousands.
This gift is very presentable, but the price is not expensive, and no matter how many he gives, the recipient will not refuse. Even if he can't use it, he can still get a penny by reselling it.
I have to admit that Wu Qi's gift was very substantial. Mai, who owned two small starships, gave the smallest starship to Zhuang Yanzhou and asked him to take the two elders of the Zhuang family to the Blue Water Planet.
So Wu Qi had clearly sent a thank you gift, so why did he tell her mother that he hadn't thanked her yet?
Mai told his mother about his doubts. Zhuang Yuelan said angrily, "No wonder your father suspected that the Wu family's behavior today might be directed at you. So no matter what emotional card the Wu family played on him, he didn't respond positively."
Mai had this suspicion in his mind, so he was not surprised to hear Zhuang Yuelan say this: "Mom, tell me about your visit to the Wu family today."
"Mrs. Wu and her family are almost gone. When we arrived, Patriarch Wu and Wu Xiaoqi didn't show any strange expressions, but the others looked at us in a daze," Zhuang Yuelan said.
"That person should have told those who didn't know about my father's identity before you arrived." Mai Dongdong knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. Wu Dongzhang said that he didn't know about his cousin until tonight.
Mai was not surprised that the head of the Wu family was also an insider. When Madam Wu became pregnant, the current head of the Wu family had already taken over.
Madam Wu was able to give birth to Atom without leaving any traces and without any news leaking out, which must have been due to the help of the head of the Wu family in covering it up.
"Looking at the situation, it should be. Although those people were surprised and a little embarrassed when they saw us, no one showed contempt for us." Zhuang Yuelan was relatively satisfied with this. She could not stand other people looking at her husband in that way.
"There's nothing strange about this. When Madam Wu got pregnant with dad, the old patriarch of the Wu family had passed away for several years and had never had an extramarital affair. Now it's the end of the world, considering your and dad's cultivation levels, unless their cultivation levels are higher than yours, how dare they show contempt for you." Mai said.
But there is another reason. The Wu family is not too opposed to Atom. When Mai met Wu Qi last year, Wu Qi really treated her like an elder.
"I think so too. At the banquet, the head of the Wu family and Wu Qi talked a lot to your father. They have been very good to your father over the years. They gave him money to let him develop freely. They also saved me and paid for someone to take care of me for more than ten years. Even my mother and brother gave some help." Speaking of this, Zhuang Yuelan was very grateful to the Wu family.
"As for the old lady of the Wu family, it doesn't look like she took the initiative to acknowledge you as her own. It's obvious that she wants to acknowledge you as her own. It's the two brothers of the Wu family who are her own."
No wonder my father said that the Wu family might have recognized them because of me. If the old lady of the Wu family wanted to recognize him, she would not have waited until he was almost middle-aged to recognize him. She should not have abandoned him since he was a child.
"Dad is not sad about this." Mai was a little worried about his father's mood.
"He's definitely in a bad mood, but he's definitely not sad. He's not alone now, he has his wife and children with him." Zhuang Yuelan said confidently.
Mai 늳떚 felt relieved after hearing what his mother said. After he finished talking to his mother, King Arthur called him via video and Mai 늳떚 answered it without hesitation.
In the video, the man is handsome in military uniform, but fatigue is obvious on his face. The background behind him is obviously in the office, so he cannot go back to rest yet.
In the past half month, the two of them not only met on StarNet, but even had a video call, and King Arthur took the time to call them.
"I just called you on the text message and you were on the phone with someone."
"My mother." Mai said, and told King Arthur about her mother's visit to the Wu family today and her mother's suspicions.
She didn't like gossip, so she told King Arthur all the trivial matters at home.
And she was not sure why the Wu family came for her, and wanted King Arthur to help her analyze what he had just said.
Mai couldn't figure out why she was worthy of the Wu family doing this. If it was because of her outstanding cultivation potential and accomplishments, the Wu family wouldn't have known about this today, so their purpose was definitely not aimed at this matter.
"It should be because of me, your relationship with you. On the day you returned to school, I reported our affairs to father and obtained his consent. A few days ago, many elders of our clan asked father to let me find someone to stay as soon as possible. Then father told them about this matter so that they would not make a fuss about it. So many families should have known about it." King Arthur said.
Wheat...
Mai had never expected that King Arthur would be so anxious to finalize the status of the two, nor had he expected that the king would accept it so easily.
