"Send you to the manor?"
Zong Beili looked at Lin Meiyue and said.
Lin Meiyue shuddered and looked at Brian's mother with a tear-filled face, then at the people around him. Suddenly, he said, "I'm not leaving! Why should I leave? I'm the wife of the Zongjia! Why should I be chased out by this woman? What is she!"
"Auntie, please speak with more respect!" Brian's voice was cold.
"What are you! What right do you have to talk to me!"
Now, anything could beat Lin Meiyue's nerves. Her makeup was ruined and her face was ferocious without the grace of a rich lady.
"Enough!" Zong Beili said two words coldly, and the hall quieted down instantly. He frowned and looked at the woman sitting on the chair, and said coldly, "Let their mother and son live in another house."
"Beili!"
Lin Meiyue clearly disagreed with Zong Beili.
The other elders agreed, nodding their heads. Zong Beili's frowning face was expressionless, and he took Tong Huaer's hand and turned to walk away.
"Zong Beili, your mother..."
Sitting in the car, Tong Huaer frowned at Zong Beili.
"She chose to stay." Zong Beili frowned.
Tong Huaer was stunned, thinking of Lin Meiyue's attitude of repeatedly declaring herself the hostess of the total price, and did not know what to say.
To let Brian's mother live outside, all Zongjia people would object. After all, in front of the face of the Zongjia, what is a woman's honor or disgrace?
It must have been torture for a woman as strong as Lin Meiyue to live under the same roof as the woman who had cheated on her husband!
"By the way, Zong Beili, how did Brian's mother become like that?"
Tong Huaer suddenly remembered the skin on Brian's mother's face, and she still had lingering fears.
"It's a fire." Zongbei said expressionlessly.
"Fire?"
Tong Huaer was stunned, and then he came back to his senses. Just as he was about to ask zong beili how he knew, he suddenly remembered that he had investigated Brian before, so it was not surprising.
"The house they lived in had an old circuit and a fire. Brian's mother was seriously injured when she was rescued. Half of the slums were burned down by the fire, and then she was out of her mind when she was rescued."
Zong Beili's deep voice had no temperature tunnel.
Slums!
Tong Huaer's pupils shrank. When she was a child, her family conditions were not good, but it was far better than the slums. Brian actually lived in such a place...
"Then... Then do you believe that it was a coincidence that Brian's mother came back?" Tong Huaer looked at him with twinkling eyes.
Zong Beili's thin lips pulled up a sneer and turned to look at her, "What do you think?"
"...
Tong Huaer shuddered and was about to speak when he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder.
The man's head was on her shoulder, and Zong Beili's deep voice sounded in her ear, "Tong Huaer, I want to sleep for a while."
Is he tired?
Tong Huaer was stunned and his voice softened a little, "Okay, then go to sleep."
Even she thought that Brian's mother had appeared at a strange time, and how could Zong Beili think that it was just a coincidence? Tong Huaer looked at the magnificent entrance of the Zongjia not far away and thought that it looked like a monster.
Zong Beili didn't sleep for long, but she woke up in half an hour. Tong Huaer felt the pressure on her shoulder disappear, and a sharp prick of pain came. She subconsciously gave a whimper and reached out to rub her shoulder.
"Does it hurt?"
Zong Beili reached out to hold her shoulder, his voice a little hoarse when he woke up.
"Oh, not bad. Are you asleep?" Tong Huaer asked.
"Yes." Tong Huaer looked at him and said, "Where are we going now?"
"You accompany me to the company!"
Zong Beili said.
"To the company?" Tong Huaer bit his lips and thought, "But I still have to go to Teacher Duosuo's place."
"Stay with me today and go tomorrow!"
Zong Beili made a decision for her without a word, and his overbearing tone was not negotiable.
Tong Huaer frowned and was about to speak when a soft knock came from the window. She tilted her head to look at zong Beili's window.
"What's up with fourth uncle?"
Zongbei lowered the car window expressionless.
"Beili, can I have a word with you?"
The middle-aged man standing outside the car window was one of the elders in the hall.
"Just say what fourth uncle wants to say."
Zong Beili had no intention of getting out of the car.
"This..." Fourth uncle hesitated.
Tong Huaer immediately understood what he meant. Chaozong Beili smiled and said, "Then I'll go over there for a while."
As she spoke, she reached out to open the door. Suddenly, a big hand grabbed her wrist. Zong Beili frowned at her and said, "No, you stay here!"
"Not good." Tong Huaer bit her lip. Fourth uncle obviously didn't want her here. She should be more sensible.
"If I say yes, who dares say no?" Zong Beili said in a cold voice and turned to fourth uncle, "Fourth uncle, what do you think?"
"Yes, since Huaer is your wife, there is nothing wrong with her being here." Fourth uncle smiled awkwardly and said, "Beili, I came here to discuss that Brian matter with you. What are your plans?"
"...
Tong Huaer was stunned.
If they wanted to talk about such a confidential matter, would she rather avoid it a little?
But the man's grip was so tight that she had no chance of escaping.
"What's fourth uncle talking about?"
Zong Beili's low voice was faint.
"Beili, you're a smart man. Fourth uncle doesn't believe that you can't tell that Brian came from a bad place! Who would be the most affected by his return now? Of course it's you!"
Fourth uncle frowned.
"Hmm?"
Zong Beili raised his eyebrows slightly and replied, as if he didn't understand what fourth uncle meant, or as if he was hinting at him to continue.
"Beili, you were the one who inherited the clan in the past. We have no problem with that, but you know that you, Uncle, have always been calculating! He's the one who brought this Brian back. Their purpose is obviously to pull you out of the zong family's ceo position!"
Fourth uncle didn't care if Tong Huaer was still around, so he made it clear.
"...
Tong Huaer shuddered and turned to look at Zong Beili with complicated eyes.
"He didn't say that today, fourth uncle. Didn't you worry too much?" Zongbei said without blinking.
"Beili, can't you see it now? Fourth uncle will be on your side no matter what decision you make! I just hope that our Zongjia family business won't be taken away by an illegitimate child who doesn't know where to come from!"
Fourth uncle said.
"... Tong Huaer looked at fourth uncle with twinkling eyes.
"Okay, I see. Thank you for reminding me, fourth uncle. I'll think about it." Zongbei said sternly.
