Having received his mother's promise, Xu Bixi was very satisfied. He studied excitedly for the whole afternoon. Soon after dinner, he became a little sleepy.

But this time, he slept very relaxedly. He understood Zhuang Momo just like how he understood his father. Zhuang Momo would do what she promised him, so his Daddy now had a golden pardon.

Therefore, he fell asleep peacefully. He had already received a text message from Xu Liancheng. He was already on his way. His mother would be protected.

Unfortunately, Xu Liancheng did not know that his proud son had made an agreement with Zhuang Momo for him. When he came, Xu Bixi had already fallen asleep just like when he left in the morning. Zhuang Momo was at the bedhead, holding his hand and reading. Time seemed to have stopped.

Sh—

When Zhuang Momo saw him, she placed her finger on her lips.

Xu Liancheng glanced at his son, who was sleeping peacefully, with complicated emotions swirling in his eyes.

"Did he sleep for a day?" He mouthed silently at her.

"No, he has been doing my homework for the whole afternoon," Zhuang Momo smiled happily and pointed to a thick stack of homework.

Xu Liancheng was a bit startled. He wondered if he had hearing problems. His son would take the initiative to do homework. Was the sun rising from the west? It had to be known that Xu Bixi had been very lazy in the past. Although he was very smart, he barely did his homework.

"What about you?"

Closing her son's book with a complicated feeling, Xu Liancheng turned to look at his little girl.

"Me?"

"l stayed here with him. I read some books and checked some information."

Zhuang Momo thought that Xu Liancheng despised her for being lazy, so she hurriedly said. Then, she placed the 'homework' she had done this afternoon in front of Xu Liancheng.

Little did she know, Xu Liancheng's face under the mask began to twitch.

"Didn't you see your phone?"

"No, why should I look at my phone?" Zhuang Momo replied in confusion. She didn't need to check in to work now. The new company's office hadn't been renovated yet. For her now, the mobile phone was only an alarm clock.

"No. It's nothing," Xu Liancheng struggled to suppress his desire to talk and shook his head.

He wanted to proudly tell her that she should contact him with her phone and send him a text message. Did she not check on him for a whole day?

But when meeting Zhuang Momo's black pupils, he couldn't say it.

"Bixi might have to stay in the hospital for a while. Are you going to accompany him here every day?" Xu Liancheng said, "Of course, it's not that I don't support you on this. It's just that you are not in good health, either. If you continue to be like this, you might end up in the hospital after Bixi is discharged. I don't have much time to accompany you," Xu Liancheng deliberately said coldly.

Zhuang Momo shook her head lightly and pursed her lips without answering.

After a long time, she spoke again with a smile, "I know what I'm doing. I'll go home after staying for two more nights and then come over during the day. Oh right, I haven't thanked you for the vitamins and calcium tablets you gave me yet."

Zhuang Momo thought about her husband's awkward personality and did not wait for him to take the initiative to praise her.

"Vitamin and calcium tablets?" Xu Liancheng was stunned.

Then he thought of what he had told Bill yesterday, and his back broke out in cold sweat.

"Didn't you ask Tony to give it to me?" Zhuang Momo said doubtfully. She took out two small bottles from her pocket. Xu Liancheng glanced at the English words on the screen, and he no longer felt nervous.

"Well, you are too weak. You need to take them."

"When Bixi is discharged from the hospital, you should go to class every night. My big brother's training method is very scientific. Since you want to learn, you should learn well," Xu Liancheng said gently.

"Okay, I'll go when Bixi is discharged. But it surprised me that you didn't stop me. It seems that you are not so childish," Her son was obedient and her husband was considerate. Zhuang Momo could not help but smile.

"Who are you calling childish?" Xu Liancheng was stunned by that smile. Only after a while did he realize that Zhuang Momo was laughing at him. He replied unhappily.

"I'm talking about who is responding."

"Zhuang Momo."

"What, are you not convinced? If you are, bite me!" Zhuang Momo said provocatively to Xu Liancheng. She even licked her lips in front of the man, causing Xu Liancheng's adrenaline to rise.

He locked the door quietly and took advantage of the time when Zhuang Momo turned around to clean up the bed. He suddenly hugged her from behind.

"Ah—!"

"Bite you. I can't bear to, but I can love you."

Without waiting for Zhuang Momo to react, Mr. Xu picked up the remote control, pulled the curtains, turned off the lights, and slept.

...

Ye Family of Lingnan.

It had been three days since Ye Nantian, Lord Ye Ye, had returned to the Ye Family.

He used the excuse that he had to spend time on the boat. Instead of meeting Zhuang Mengmeng and Xu Qingyun immediately, he returned to his house.

"How is it?" He muttered under the candlelight, and soon, a stack of information was placed in front of him.

"Have you seen it?"

Lord Ye did not open the thick envelope immediately. Instead, he continued to ask the figure outside the window.

"Not yet."

"Then come in and have a look. We brothers have agreed to enjoy our blessings together. My granddaughter will take good care of you in the future."

The person outside the window did not reply, but there was a sound from the door curtain. A gray-colored figure appeared beside Lord Ye Ye. His attire was somewhat similar to Xu Liancheng's. He wore a strange mask and a gray robe. Not a single part of his body was exposed. Even his hands were wearing two gloves made of different materials.

Lord Ye looked at his old brother with a gentle gaze and opened the three envelopes in front of him.

The first one was the DNA report Ye Qinghe had shown him before. The blood relation between Zhuang Mengmeng and him as well as the identification report the clan had requested after they arrived at the Ye Family. The results were the same.

The second was Zhuang Momo's hair, which he had asked Hui Ying to steal from overseas. He used it with his blood for DNA test— the result...

Lord Ye Ye looked at the DNA report written in black and white, with his murky eyes suddenly shining with a strange light.

"Congratulations," A hoarse voice sounded under the gray robe. It sounded very calm but his trembling figure made everything clear.

"But why is it like this?"

Lord Ye continued to read. The last one was Zhuang Momo and Zhuang Mengmeng's DNA test. Their genes were almost the same.

What was going on?

Could it be that when Jingqiu gave birth to a pair of twins and both of them were from the Ye Family?

That was not right. Even if they were twins, their gene sequence couldn't be like 99%. Moreover, anyone with eyes could tell Zhuang Mengmeng and Zhuang Momo were not alike at all, whether in terms of facial features or temperament.

A nameless anger was raging in his heart. These three reports all stated that there was a problem.

Thinking back to the years of contact with Zhuang Momo, Lord Ye did not think Zhuang Momo would be the one who faked the truth.

Then, Zhuang Mengmeng...

He thought of his adopted daughter who was happily talking to him. His heart sank. Was this all planned by her? But for what?

Family property?

He smiled coldly.

Did they have to be so anxious?

"When I went to get the results, Xiao Wu said something very interesting," Seeing that Lord Ye was so angry that he left a mark on the rosewood table, Gray Shadow spoke again.

"What?"

"He said that the first and second sets of hair had been placed there for many years. He even asked me why I didn't use the new hair. That way, the results would be more accurate."

"Many years?" Lord Ye was stunned.

"Well, I think you should meet Miss Zhuang tomorrow. I will take the opportunity to collect some samples. If you agree, I can collect blood now. Blood and saliva should be more accurate than hair."

Gray Shadow suggested.

He knew his old friend very well, both his temper and character. In the eyes of Lord Ye, he never allowed anyone who didn't share his blood to inherit the Ye family. Otherwise, he would have handed the Ye family over to the eldest young master to enjoy the joy of family.

Of course, it was not that he was heartless.

After all, his initial intention to adopt a child was also good. If not for his financial support, Ye Qinghe and the eldest young master would not have grown into such outstanding people.

"Has Qinghe returned?"

After a long time, Lord Ye asked again.

"She is back, taking a flight this afternoon. I think she hasn't slept yet."

"Then you go and inform her. Take Zhuang Mengmeng to see me tomorrow. As for collecting blood, there is no need to rush. Don't alarm them."

Lord Ye muttered.

He wanted to see how many wolves he would lure out if he allowed them to do as they pleased. Killing one was the same as killing a group, wasn't it?

He was never soft-hearted. Otherwise, how could he protect such a big business empire?

The night was dark with rising wind and surging conspiracy.

The game had just begun.

The grey shadow faded, and Lord Ye turned off the light and returned to the bed.

He closed his eyes and relaxed his body, but his thoughts did not stop.

His left hand was pressed against his chest where there was the personal jade pendant left by his wife.

His right hand was playing with a seal. It was the return gift Zhuang Momo had sent to him a few days ago. The jade was not what he wore in his daily life. It was just a normal white jade.

However, her intentions were rare. The words on the seal were carved by Zhuang Momo.

Her technique was very jerky, with a few strokes looking rough. But this was the most precious gift he had received since the death of his daughter and his wife.

Having adopted many children and publicly admitted a son and a daughter, he could receive a lot of gifts no matter what festival it was.

But at his age, with this status, his judgment of the gift was not the value of the gift itself but the intention behind it.

It was not the first time he had received a seal Even Ye Qinghe had given one to him.

But he had mentioned before that what he wanted was handmade.

No matter how expensive the gift was, it couldn't compete with sincerity.

He was suddenly looking forward to the fact that she was the person he was looking for. He was looking forward to her coming home and calling him grandfather.
