A sheet of paper had just been scribbled with a crooked "Answer."0
Ke Muning picked up his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and put it back to his ear.0
"Are you crazy?"0
"Sir, I'm not crazy."0
"……"0
His subordinate quickly recounted the whole process.0
"Then let see what my second goddaughter looks like." Ke Muning hung up the phone and glanced down at the paper in front of him.0
Isn't this just perfect? No need to do it anymore.0
Ke Muning stood up: "Reschedule the itinerary, prepare the plane."0
"Are you rushing to a eting?"0
"No, I'm going to Atlanta, now, imdiately."0
A group of people hurriedly followed.0
But as Ke Muning reached the door, he thought for a mont and turned back to grab his backpack, stuffing the paper inside and picking it up before leaving.0
After all, he was already angry.0
He didn't want to make the little girl even angrier.0
When Ke Muning arrived in Atlanta, Xiao Ya had already boarded the cruise ship with Edith.0
"There's sothing more interesting here."0
Edith blocked her at the door: "But before you enter, you need to prove to us that your brother is really the Chief Inspector, don't you?"0
Qin Yue's heart skipped a beat.0
How could she prove it?0
She couldn't prove it at all!0
Xiao Ya tilted her head, her gaze passing over Edith to land on Gui Wenxin.0
Xiao Ya looked puzzled: "So, you verify backgrounds before inviting people to join?"0
Edith pursed her lips and turned to look at Gui Wenxin, asking: "What do you an?"0
"The Gui family never introduces themselves by their surna Gui, but by Wei." Xiao Ya said.0
Gui Wenxin didn't panic at all, saying: "Since I've joined the sisterhood, of course, I should use my real na."0
Edith nodded, looking back at Xiao Ya: "That's right, she's very honest. Are you?"0
Xiao Ya showed an even more puzzled expression, staring at Gui Wenxin: "Are you really from Hua Country?"0
Edith laughed: "What do you an? Isn't her face convincing enough? A typical Hua Country face."0
"Then why doesn't she understand Hua Country's customs? 'Wen' is used by elders. Wei Wenjun, Wei Wenyi, Wei Wenqing... they are all elders. How can juniors continue to use 'Wen' as an interdiate character?" This explanation was slightly complex in English.0
Complex enough that Edith tilted her head slightly, um... struggling to understand.0
So Xiao Ya imdiately gave her an example: "It's like a German, not naming themselves Hitler."0
"She made such a cultural mistake."0
Edith fell silent for a mont, then turned to ask Gui Wenxin: "Do you have anything to say?"0
Gui Wenxin looked innocent: "I don't know why my family gave this na. Maybe to fill the void left by my mother?"0
"Alright, that's enough." Edith was already a bit displeased.0
She asked Xiao Ya: "Are you stalling for ti?"0
Qin Yue also felt that Xiao Ya was stalling, but this thod wasn't very effective.0
What to do?0
Xiao Ya's phone rang at that mont, and she said calmly: "Wait, let take a call."0
Edith: "……"0
Xiao Ya took the call right in front of them: "Hello."0
Ke Muning's voice ca from the other end: "Where are you? I'm in Atlanta."0
Xiao Ya turned on the speaker and held the phone close to the ship's railing, asking: "Hear that? The sound of the waves."0
"I'm on a boat."0
Edith's mouth twitched: "Your family?"0
He sure is strict.0
But you not only picked up the phone but also turned on the speaker and told him where you are. Isn't that a bit too much?0
"I'm coming over now, what's the na of the ship? Which port?" the other end asked.0
Xiao Ya said: "Don't rush."0
She took the phone away from her ear and looked back at Gui Wenxin: "I have one more question, I'm curious."0
Edith frowned: "Hey! Li!"0
Gui Wenxin waved her hand, looking composed: "It's fine, do you have any more questions for ?"0
Xiao Ya asked: "How did you et Ke Muning?"0
Gui Wenxin smiled helplessly: "Alright, it seems everyone is very interested in this."0
Ke Muning on the other end instantly fell silent, his face dark as he listened to her story.0
"It was an accident..."0
"At that ti, he didn't know who I was, just on an island..."0
Hearing this, even Xiao Ya was a bit surprised.0
These details actually matched.0
"At that ti, most people knew the news, right? Ke Muning went to the island to hunt down his enemies, but accidentally got injured. It was just that I happened to save him."0
Xiao Ya: "……"0
It's not right.0
It's not right from here.0
The island part should be sothing Gui Wenxin deduced from the news at the ti and Ke Muning's subsequent actions.0
To deduce this far, she was indeed very clever.0
"I didn't expect to pick up a madman. I even had a doctor treat him, treated him very well. Maybe it was because of his notorious reputation, no one had ever been so close to him, so gentle with him. Gradually, we beca very close."0
"Later, he told his real identity. Knowing I had no parents, he asked to recognize him as my godfather." Gui Wenxin continued.0
Xiao Ya said: "That's not true."0
Gui Wenxin was stunned: "What?"0
In the story Gui Wenxin fabricated, she completely ignored Ke Muning's character.0
No one had ever been close to Ke Muning for so many years, and there was a reason for that.0
How could you use ordinary people's thinking to make up a story?0
Xiao Ya continued: "If you were nice to Ke Muning from the start, he would only think you had ulterior motives."0
Ke Muning on the other end ground his teeth.0
Yes, it had to be a lie without a trace of affection.0
Gui Wenxin was stunned.0
But then she retorted: "Do you know my godfather better than I do?"0
Ke Muning couldn't listen anymore.0
You don't understand, but I do?0
His brows furrowed so tightly it looked like he could crush a fly, his already unapproachable face looking even more terrifying.0
Xiao Ya put the phone back to her ear.0
It was only then that Edith and the others realized she had never hung up.0
"Hello."0
"Address." Ke Muning's voice was cold.0
Xiao Ya obediently gave it.0
Edith asked: "What are you doing?"0
"Waiting for my family to pick up after playing."0
"Are you sure you want your family to see you getting off this ship? Instead of walking out of school?"0
"Yeah, it's fine. My family has seen the big world."0
Edith's eyes flickered: "Oh? Your brother, the Chief Inspector?"0
Xiao Ya shook her head: "No, another one."0
As she spoke, she hung up the phone and sent a text ssage to her second uncle.0
She rembered that the family had a shipping company, building very large cruise ships.0
Hmm, if a couple more were sent over, they could probably just sandwich this one in the middle, right?0
That would be much safer.0
"To be honest, I don't know how powerful you are, if you're qualified for my brother to talk to you." Xiao Ya said slowly, looking even more arrogant.0
She said: "Next, let the fraternity verify my identity for you."0
"You know people from the fraternity?" Edith was stunned.0
Xiao Ya nodded, dialed a number, and turned on the speaker again.0
Qin Yue was just in middle school.0
And Green and the others were in university, a top university fraternity, their status much higher than Edith's.0
"Beep... beep..."0
The phone was picked up.0
Green's pretentious voice ca through, even more arrogant than Xiao Ya could imitate.0
"Hey, listen, I don't care who you are. Now, let tell you, my na is Green Jones, and I provide you with the key SDGS287G, you can use this key to find in the mber database."0
"I want to tell you that the status of the young lady in front of you is absolutely beyond your imagination, be a smart person. Maybe next ti we hold an event, I'll consider proposing to upgrade your branch."0
Edith's lips pressed tighter, almost turning white, she smiled and said: "Okay."0
Aliali: 674846c1c4f3f33ac476874f
Qin Yue was stunned.0
Not stalling for ti? She really had a way!0
But where did she et people from the fraternity?0
On the other end, Green slowly put down the phone, turning to look at the man behind him, his expression casual but his eyes sharp: "Now can you take your hand off my neck, Sheng?"0
Tonight, I'll take a break and update three chapters tomorrow. There aren't many updates left.0
Last night, I was busy writing four chapters, and now I have so ti to summarize the comnts from the past two days. It's perfectly normal if you don't accept the pairing with Sheng. I'm writing about apples, but if you like pears, it's your right and freedom to abandon the story. You can even kick a few tis before leaving.0
But spreading nonsense is not right, is it? So say they ca for a non-romantic story and felt betrayed. Oh? Go ahead, open the details page of this book, and you'll see my tags—『Modern Romance』. I've never changed them. If you like non-romantic stories, you can filter your preferred works by selecting the non-romantic tag, rather than coming here to accuse of not writing according to your wishes, or even attacking other readers.0
There are also those who curse, saying that the promised family love turned into romance, which is disgusting. I chose to focus on family love in the beginning because the female protagonist was young, and I thought she should only experience family love. Anything else would be pedophilia, wouldn't it? Now that I'm approaching the end, I'm preparing the romantic plot for when the female protagonist grows up. If you feel that the promised family love has changed, who exactly promised you that? Of course, it's still your right not to accept it, and you can give a bad review, and I won't try to change your mind.0
But those who extend this to personal attacks, I will fight back. Whoever curses dirty, I will curse back.0
By the way, there are those who accuse of being misogynistic or writing about a submissive wife. Although I don't know how that twisted logic works, you're free to think what you want. No matter how many tis you curse, it won't change the fact that I regularly sponsor girls in mountainous areas in reality. Goodnight, dear.0
