The next day, along with the invitation from the Chen family arrived Mr. Zheng, who had failed to find his relatives.
The man was extremely silent, but in just two days, he had lost a lot of weight, and even his eye sockets were sunken.
Seeing them, Zheng Congen just nodded and returned to his room sadly.
Lin Mengya did not ask about the troubled past, and father and daughter also needed some alone time together.
Taking Axiu and Lin Mengya to the Chen family.
But this time it was the main house, and when she arrived at the door, the head of the Chen family personally greeted her.
After the two exchanged a few words, Lin Mengya was politely let into the living room of the Chen family by the head of the Chen family.
After the guests and hosts took their seats, the head of the Chen family spoke hesitantly.
"I have offended many people about the previous family meeting, so I have asked Mr. Su to do a lot."
"That matter is a problem of the Jiang family. I am a person who has a clear sense of grudges and I will not vent my anger on others. On this point, the Chen family can rest assured."
These words were a reassurance for the neutral faction headed by the Chen family.
Although she said yesterday that there would be no liquidation, everyone was unsure.
In addition to blaming Jiang De for dragging them down, they also wanted a concrete answer.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Su is tolerant and magnanimous. We are really ashamed."
Lin Mengya smiled and said nothing, so the head of the Chen family didn't know what to say next.
After the two chatted for a while, they saw that Mr. Su was not worried at all, but the head of the Chen family was worried.
"Actually, I took the liberty of inviting you here this time because it was a merciless invitation."
Lin Mengya had already had some guesses in her mind, but she still looked clueless on her face.
"Master Chen, please speak."
"Well, I don't want my old face anymore. Chen wants to know what benefits it will bring to small aristocratic families like us if we join the big chamber of commerce now."
She was not surprised at all by the question raised by the head of the Chen family.
For these small aristocratic families, if they do not have the strength to protect themselves, they must have a solid ally.
Especially when someone with thick legs like the Gong family comes up to hug them, only a fool would choose to push them out.
"Well, I want to know first. Is this the personal intention of the head of the Chen family, or do other family heads also want to know?"
Hearing this, the head of the Chen family said somewhat sarcastically, "It must have been hidden from your husband's discernment. Indeed, this was not what Chen meant. But you also know that the Zheng family has the final say here. We are just
Just living under someone else's roof."
It seemed that what they wanted to spy on was not only her intentions, but also the Zheng family's movements.
Lin Mengya lowered her eyes, I pretended to understand everything and only answered some questions that were neither deep nor shallow.
"Everything must have rules and regulations. If Master Chen is interested, he can send someone to contact my eldest son. I cannot make the decision alone on many things."
Most of the things that are delivered to your door will not be cherished.
In this case, it is better to let them seek it in person.
The head of the Chen family was a little reluctant, but no matter how he tried to trick the woman in front of him, who was about the same age as his daughter, he didn't even reveal any useful information.
As a last resort, the head of the Chen family had to give up some unrealistic ideas.
Although Lin Mengya's attitude was good, her meaning was clear.
If you want to join the Great Chamber of Commerce, then go talk to the Gong family yourself. No one can use the back door through her.
Also let them know that some opportunities, once missed, will never come back.
After bidding farewell to the head of the Chen family who repeatedly and enthusiastically invited them to eat here, Lin Mengya and her people planned to go back to pack their things and leave here as soon as possible.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the inn, she saw a carriage parked at the door of the inn.
Since they moved in, the inn has been booked by them, and there will be no other people except their people.
She stood at the entrance of the alley and waved to the waiter at the door.
The latter knew her and knew that she was a distinguished guest, so he immediately ran over diligently.
"Dear guest, what are your orders?"
"Who's coming?"
She raised her eyes and looked at the car behind him.
The waiter only glanced at it and immediately said smartly, "This is the carriage of the Zheng family. It is said that the second master of the Zheng family has arrived."
Second Master of the Zheng family, what is he doing here?
Lin Mengya was full of questions and asked a few more questions.
According to the clerk, the second master of the Zheng family had just arrived, and he went to the house of the eldest master of the Zheng family just after arriving. He didn't know what the two were talking about, and no one was allowed to go there.
After giving the other party a silver lock, Lin Mengya took Axiu to the teahouse next to her.
She knew the ambition of the second wife of the Zheng family very well, but it was too coincidental to come at this time.
"Could it be that he knew that his son was in our hands?"
A Xiu guessed and said, and Lin Mengya also thought the same.
But although Zheng Luxi is the eldest son of the second wife of the Zheng family, he is obviously an abandoned son.
In terms of emotion and reason, the current Mr. Zheng should not
Appear here.
Unless he wants to keep his son.
But judging from the previous situation, the second master of the Zheng family is not a good father who loves his son so much.
After thinking about it, she didn't go back to the inn directly.
Instead, let people spy on them, preferably to find out what their brothers are talking about secretly.
I took Axiu for a walk outside and then came back, but the carriage was gone.
She pretended to know nothing about it and returned to the inn, but when she faced her, she bumped into Zheng Rongrong with red eyes...??.
As soon as the girl saw her, tears fell down in clusters from her eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Sister Su, me"
As if there were a thousand words telling her, Lin Mengya took the other person's hand and took her to her room.
As soon as she entered the door, the girl couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into tears.
"I, I just realized that I was just a stone used by my father to pave the way for my younger brother. If that's the case, why did you let me live in the first place?"
In the end, Zheng Rongrong learned the cruel truth.
Axiu quietly retreated, leaving the room to the two of them.
Lin Mengya didn't say anything, she just sat quietly next to Zheng Rongrong, listening to her sobbing and speaking out what was in her heart.
When a person is concerned about something, no matter how much suffering or grievances he endures, he feels that he is happy with it.
But if one day, she knows that all this is an illusion, the pain will be even more uncomfortable.
It wasn't that Zheng Rongrong couldn't accept that she had a younger brother, but she didn't expect that her father had been lying to her all along.
No words or sentences can express the injustice she has suffered over the years.
In the end, she was tired from crying, and was gently held in Lin Mengya's arms.
"I know the pain in your heart, just vent it out. What are your plans for the future?"
This girl has a very tenacious character, and Lin Mengya knows that she will never get back up after a setback.
Zheng Rongrong cried so hard that she was not as broken as before.
She shook her head sadly. She didn't even know what was true and what was false to her.
Lin Mengya took out a handkerchief and wiped her face clean.
"If I guess correctly, something has happened to your brother. From now on, you and your father will be the only ones left in the Zheng family."
"Something happened? Sister Su, do you know where my brother is?"
Lin Mengya was a little curious about Zheng Rongrong's attitude.
"You don't blame him?"
"Who? My brother? ?" Zheng Rongrong shook her head. "My father arranged all this. Even if I want to blame, I will blame my father and those who harmed my mother and brother."
This girl is quite a sensible person.
Now that she already knows, it's time to tell her some things.
"Based on my inference, your brother must have been used as a tool to realize his ambitions. Over the years, your father has never found out. There are only two possibilities. One, something happened to your brother recently, so your father
There is no way to detect it; secondly, I am afraid that he has been left out since he was a child."
In fact, Lin Mengya was leaning towards the second possibility.
Otherwise, given the importance Zheng Congen attaches to his son, how could he not reveal the slightest clue?
From her point of view, this was probably a ploy to change the situation.
"If this is the case, wouldn't my brother be in danger?"
In fact, Zheng Rongrong's feelings for this younger brother are a bit complicated, but after all, he is her only biological younger brother, and his mother worked hard to give birth to him. Even for her mother's sake, she will show some extra care.
.
Lin Mengya nodded slightly. In fact, she felt that after Zheng Luxi committed these suicide attempts, there must be someone who wanted to completely replace him.
I just don’t know why the other party is so sure that I can replace him.
After all, how can a child who has never appeared in the family inherit the position of the head of the family?
After learning the news, Zheng Rongrong's brows also felt a little anxious.
"No matter what, he is my brother, and I absolutely cannot let him fall into the hands of those bad people!"
"You have to ask your father about this."
In Lin Mengya's view, the root of all this lies in the struggle for the position of the head of the Zheng family.
The second brother-in-law of the Zheng family murdered Mrs. Zheng for this reason, and Mr. Zheng sacrificed his daughter for this reason.
Therefore, if you want to solve this matter, you must first determine the position of the head of the Zheng family.
Biting her lip, Zheng Rongrong, no matter how much she didn't want to see her father now, she had to endure it because of business.
The two of them arrived at the door of Mr. Zheng's room together, lowered their heads, and knocked reluctantly.
"Who is it?"
The voice inside was filled with uncontrollable fatigue.
"it's me."
Just as Zheng Rongrong answered, the door inside was opened forcefully.
Mr. Zheng looked at his daughter with some excitement and some anxiety.
