Miao Zhibo was a little surprised by his son's frank answer. However, he quickly smiled and said, "Oh?"
After saying that, his eyes narrowed. "You also think she's my illegitimate daughter?"
When Miao Yifu heard that, he immediately smiled and said, "Dad, you really know how to joke. You love mom so much. How could you possibly have an illegitimate daughter? Those people are all talking nonsense. Third sister, you still don't know what kind of character she has."
"In this world, there are many people who look like her. If every one of them is your illegitimate daughter, then our Miao family can be considered to have profited."
When Miao Zhibo heard this, there was a look of scrutiny in his eyes. He looked at Miao Yifu with a strange expression, but... Very quickly, he said, "When you got married, I took a look at that girl. She really looks like me. She looks more like the child at home, even more like your second sister. Mm, that's a pretty good girl. Marrying that kid Lu Yichen is really letting him off easy."
When Miao Yifu heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched. He still didn't know that she was his biological daughter. If he knew, he wouldn't know how to protect her? That's right. Miao Zhibo might be easy to talk to normally, but he truly doted on his daughters.
Although his eldest sister had married far away, his eldest brother-in-law was extremely good to her when he went to the border. Now that she had two sons, her position in the in-laws' family was even more stable.
As for his second and third sisters, his daughters weren't young anymore. They hadn't married yet, so he let them be. He said that they would marry when they met the right person, so his Miao daughters weren't in a hurry.
The only thing he turned a blind eye to was when he got married. Thinking of this, Miao Yifu's heart was filled with hesitation. However, that trace of unhappiness was quickly driven out of his mind. The path he had chosen, he had broken his teeth and swallowed it himself.
Thus, Miao Yifu followed Miao Zhibo's words and said, "Kang Xiaoqiao is indeed a good girl. Not only is she good-looking, she also has a good personality. Moreover, she is the school belle and a straight-A student. It's really rare. It's just that..."
Speaking up to this point, he rubbed his hands and said, "It's just that her life and death are unknown now. I'm a little worried--"
Miao Zhibo narrowed his eyes when he heard that. "Are you on good terms with her? What's there to worry about? If something happens to her, the Lu family and the Xia family will naturally have to worry about her."
Miao Yifu's face turned a little red when he heard that, but he quickly kept it and said, "Our relationship is alright. Although there are the Lu family and the Xia family, I, I still want to go and take a look."
Miao Zhibo looked at him. He didn't understand what this kid was thinking. If it was really to curry favor with him, he had indeed done it.
When he thought of Kang Xiaoqiao's accident, Miao Zhibo's face immediately turned black. His heart was a little chaotic as he said, "Since that's the case, let's go and take a look together."
Then, he said to the driver, "Let's go to the Xia family--"
...
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Xia family was still solemn. The Xia family members who came and went kept sending back all kinds of news. Now, the Xia family's study room had become the command center, and a steady stream of clues kept pouring in.
The Xia family members kept on analyzing. The Dong family and the Luo family were simply in a terrible state.
Unlike the Xia family and the Miao family and the Lu family, the Luo family's manager was the old master of the Luo family, which was also Luo Yumei's grandfather. The old man slammed the teacup into the ground and said hatefully, "Idiot, idiot--"
"Who told you to touch the daughter-in-law of the Lu family at this time? Huh? Who told you to touch her?"
"Do you know that our Luo family will be sent to heaven at any time by your stupid actions? How did I give birth to such an idiot like you?"
"Such a good daughter, look at how she was ruined by you. She left at such a young age, and such a good card was actually smashed by you."
"Coward with soft ears. With the friendship between that girl Mei Zi and the kid of the Lu family, how could our Luo family have fallen to such a state? Look, what have you done?"
After he finished shouting, he slammed the table several times so hard that the table was about to open its mouth.
The eldest of the Luo family stood on the ground and lowered his head obediently. With an aggrieved expression, he said, "Father, this, this has nothing to do with your son. I, I really didn't kidnap the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. I really didn't."
"At home, our third brother and the others are still squatting inside. I, I couldn't even think of a way to get them out in time. Also, how would I dare to provoke the Lu family? I--"
It would have been better if the eldest Luo son hadn't said anything. But the moment he opened his mouth, Old Man Luo became even angrier. Look, look at this bear-like appearance.
If he had really done this, perhaps Old Master Luo would have treated him differently. But now?
A coward was a coward. He didn't even dare to provoke them. How was this his child? He even suspected that he had hugged the wrong person.
Old Master Luo was so angry that his heart ached. Seeing this, the eldest Luo son hurriedly said, "Father, father, are you alright?"
"I, I didn't expect it to be like this. Originally, I also thought of letting Mei Zi marry that kid from the Lu family. Although he wasn't liked by his father, he was also the only person in who could take up Lu Wei's mantle."
"But, but who would have thought that he would marry that rural girl halfway. I, I--"
Old Master Luo clutched his chest and pointed at him, saying, "So, so you listened to that stinky woman of yours and married her to the Dong family, right?"
"Don't you see what kind of family the Dong family is? You pushed Mei Zi into the fire pit. Not only did you destroy her, but that child's friendship with the Lu family brat since he was young, how could he just let it go?"
"Moreover, that brat from the Ran family is sincere towards Mei Zi. If the two of them were to succeed, the ran family would be able to stand by and watch, and the Luo family wouldn't be in such a helpless situation."
Hearing this, eldest Luo pulled a long face. With a sullen face, he said, "Dong, the Dong family brat is, indeed, disappointing. However, no matter what, his family is related to Lu, and Old Madam Lu is also related to him. Moreover, the future wife of Lu Wei is also related to him."
Before he could finish his sentence, another teacup flew over, scaring the oldest Luo son to the side. Old Master Luo was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe.
"You idiot, you idiot..."
"Then why did the kid from the Lu family fall out with the Lu family? Isn't it because his mother was forced to die? Are you going to marry the Lu family? Or are you going to make enemies?"
"Oh my god, I'm so angry, I'm so angry... you idiot, how could I give birth to such a stupid son like you and hand the family over to you? This is simply, simply..."
"Wu, I've let down the ancestors of the Luo family--"
After shouting, the old master of the Luo family became even more sorrowful. How could his life be so miserable? How could he give birth to such a useless son?
What sin did he do? What sin did he do?
