Chapter 264 - Cross checked

"Alright, tell me what happened?"

"Do you remember that man I told you about from grandpa's old photo album? The one I think looks like Mr Weilong?" she inquired.

"Uh huh, what about him?" Yichan nervousness asked, whenever Ning referred to Weilong, his heart skipped several beats. He could only imagine how she would feel after learning the entire truth.

"Dad visited me just now and—"

Cutting her off, he frowned, "Wait, what? Which dad are we talking about here?"

Scrunching her brows, she inquired, "How many dad's do you think I have?"

"Of course only one honey, why did he visit you? Did he do someone inappropriate again?" he curiously asked. He felt angry when she mentioned Weilong's name and angry when she mentioned her so-called father's name.

"He had definitely entered my office with an intention of shouting at me but his tone completely changed when he saw Mr Weilong which is very strange because he never cares about anything. They were also telling me that they are old acquaintances and they even left the office together," Ning added.

"Well, maybe they are old friends or—"

Cutting her off, she stated, "I think the man from that old album is Mr. Weilong and maybe this is how dad knows him." Without giving him a chance to reply, she added, "I think I should go back and try to look for that album again,"

"Babe there is no need to do that, I have already asked Jason to look into it and he is doing everything he can. We just need to be patient and wait, okay?"

"Fine, we can wait."

"What do you want for lunch?" he inquired.

"You," she chuckled.

"Alright, I will serve myself in front of you during lunch. I love you," he grinned.

"I love you, come soon."

Mo Corporation.

Yichan's office

After hanging up the call, yichan glared at Chen who was enjoying his milk tea. "Will you ask your dad not to show up in my wife's office uninvited? He is making things so difficult for me."

"What can I do? As he listens to me." Shoving the nutty cookie inside his mouth, Chen groaned in satisfaction, "This is so good."

"Ning is a very smart woman and it's almost impossible to fool her, I am one hundred percent sure that she will get a sniff of everything and bite my ass for lying to her," Yichan snapped.

"Of course she is smart, she is my sister after all. You cant expect ehr to be dumb," Chen chuckled.

Looking at the man who was eating the cookies like a hungry monster, Yichan frowned, "Are you here to just eat and dirty my office?"

"Of course not, I have some news which I think is a major breakthrough." Quickly swallowing the cookies, Chen explained, "I managed to find out to whom all of this is related to. It's some sly brother of grandpa who walked out of the family years ago."

Thinking for a while, Yichan inquired, "Do you know his name?"

"Nope but I hard that he changed his surname to—"

Cutting him off, Yichan said, "William which was his wife's last name."

Scrunching his brows, Chen nodded his head, "Yes but how did you know?"

"Let's just say that I know." Without waiting for his reply, Yichan instructed, "I want you to try and find out more about it, okay? And let me know as soon as you do."

"I am already at it so don't worry," Chen assured him.

Evening

Zhang mansion.

"You don't have to worry about anything honey, it's just a small gathering which includes some of our useless family members. Guiren will just guide you around once and then you can chill with your friends," Mother Zhang stated.

"Mom is right babe, those relatives are good for nothing. I am sure that almost everyone from my family is here to eat free food," Guiren chuckled.

Helplessly shaking her head, mother Zhang sighed, "He is right, if not for introducing you to everyone, I would have never entertained them." Glancing at the watch, she added, "It's almost time, I'll go check on your dad, you both take your time."

After she left, Guiren chuckled, "Can you believe she is the same woman who was after us a few months ago? The one who couldn't stand our relationship."

Fixing his tie, Meili chuckled, "I like her this way, she is so sweet."

"Well, this is actually what she is like. I don't know what she was pretending for so long," he answered.

"Did you call everyone? I mean, all our friends?" she inquired.

"Don't worry honey, I have invited everyone , including Roger," he answered.

Thinking for a while, she asked, "What about Lucas?"

"Oh he has something else to do so he won't be coming and did you know that Flora is bringing her boyfriend over today?" Guiren frowned.

Meili nodded her head and answered, "Yes, she told me this in the morning."

"I didn't even know she had a boyfriend."

"Is there a problem that she has one? She is a big girl and almost of my age," she chuckled.

"Of course it's fine honey but at least she should let her brother run a thorough background on the guy first," he stated.

Rolling her eyes at him, Meili scoffed, "Stop being such a jerk."

"You call it being a jerk and I call it being a responsible brother."

….

Ning and Yichan's place.

"What are you doing here? I mean, aren't you going to the party?" Yichan inquired.

"Yes I am but I wanted to talk to you before that." Looking around, Roger inquired, "where is Ning?"

"She is getting ready."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Roger stated, "So I cross checked everything that you said and it turns out that my grandfather shares a really awful history with his brother and this was also the reason why he left the family thirty years ago. I am trying to find out what exactly happened but it's not that easy."
