"I have to explain a few words about this rumor, but I'm not talking nonsense." Thomas tried his best to clear up his relationship, so he took the trouble to explain, "Some people say that Zheng Peipei had a child with her, and the child died not long after. Some people say that she was just pregnant and did not give birth......"

"What is that? Did my mom have a baby? Bai Yiru always felt that Zhao Yali was wronging her mother, so she was eager to figure this out.

"I don't know."

"Haven't you been looking for offspring with my mom and my mom? How could it not be known? Bai Yiru heard Thomas say he didn't know, and he was furious for no reason.

Gu Dongning understood the reason why Bai Yiru's temper was suddenly irritable, and he patted the back of her hand gently, "Yiru, don't worry, listen to Thomas, he doesn't know, I'll find a way to figure it out for you." ”

"Hmm." Bai Yiru nodded a little shyly, she also knew that it was not good to lose her temper, but she couldn't help but get angry.

Thomas scratched his messy hair, picked up a cup in his hand, regardless of whether the water in it was hot or cold, drank it dry in two sips, and looked at Bai Yiru and opened his mouth again.

"Ben hasn't been able to find any children other than you, so it's not certain whether Zheng Peipei gave birth to a child and died, or didn't have a child at all. In short, the only child we have identified for her is you. Simon wants your life, Ben desperately approaches you, and you all know what happened later, and I don't need to say it. He used a wooden stick to pound the spark that was about to be extinguished, and threw the stick into the middle of the spark, "That's all I can think of, I can say everything." If there's anything you want to ask, just ask, and whatever I know and can remember, I'll tell you. ”

"This badge, isn't it a ...... Leon, Leon" Bai Yiru knew that she should call Leon's grandfather according to her seniority, but she couldn't call it, "Put it on my mother?" There is also an old wooden box. ”

"Yes. Yes. "Thomas saw clearly the badge on Bai Yiru's hand, which was the best evidence that Leon left his daughter to find her ancestors, but she never found out about her background until it was passed on to Bai Yiru." Didn't you all notice the problem with this badge? ”

"Nope." Bai Yiru shook her head, "My mother only said that these objects were the only things she brought with her when her grandfather and grandmother picked her up, so they didn't throw them away and kept them for my mother." Later, my mom didn't have anything left for me, so she left this to me. She always thought it was a normal badge, and often took it out for me to play with, and she didn't worry that I would lose it. ”

"In fact, it can be understood that no matter how precious things are in Germany, as long as they don't pay attention to this, who cares." Thomas sighed, "There's a secret compartment in the box, and you're afraid you haven't noticed it all along, right?" The seal inside was put in by my own hands, ordered by Leon. ”

"Nope." Bai Yiru said truthfully, "A few days ago, I accidentally knocked over the box and the seal fell out, and I just found out." ”

"If only you had found the seal earlier." Thomas is not bad-eyed, he was just born at the wrong time, so he served under two patriarchs all his life, and was forced by Simon to do a lot of things he didn't want to do. Even so, he is still very concerned about Zheng Peipei, who does not know his whereabouts, after all, he is also the father of a child, and he also knows how precious a child is to his parents.

"How so?" Bai Yiru stroked her forehead and muttered to herself. "How can I be the patriarch heir, this is simply ......"

"Don't worry." Gu Dongning squatted down and hugged Bai Yiru in the wheelchair, "With me here, you don't need to worry about anything." You can do whatever you want, and no one can force you. ”

"I know." Bai Yiru smiled reluctantly, she was a little worried about the change in her life, but she was more worried about Simon, he would not give up, if Gu Dongning took the will to find out to the other party, then it would definitely set off an uproar = waves.

And this uproar = wave, not only between the Schultz and Hoffmann families, but also many families in the chain of interests.

"Zheng Peipei is dead?" Gu Zhenghao, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth again, and asked Thomas as if he was not in a clear mind, "She is the heir of the Schultz family, but she is dead?" So Yiru became the heir to the patriarch of this term? ”

"Yes. I made it very clear. It was she who died, so Simon's target was placed on Bai Yiru and the two children. Thomas glanced at Gu Zhenghao, does a question need to be confirmed repeatedly like this?

"Oh. I just think she died too early and suffered for Yiru. Gu Zhenghao found that everyone was looking at him with that kind of unknown look, so he showed a regretful expression and said in a tone of worry about Bai Yiru.

"Dad, Yiru won't suffer in the future, I will take care of her for the rest of my life." Gu Dongning opened her mouth and said, firstly, to persuade her father not to worry, and secondly, to tell Bai Yiru that he would provide her with unconditional support.

"Good. Good. I'll go out first. Gu Zhenghao smiled a little unnaturally, but fortunately, the cave was dim and the fire was not bright, so no one could see his true expression.

Ning Ke Yan stood for a while, her legs and feet hurt a little, and she also found a stone and sat down.

"No wonder we all said that Yiru, Confectionery, and Emilia looked alike, and it turned out that these three children were really sisters with blood relations." She looked at Bai Yiru's face and sighed, "Isn't the world very big? The three sisters actually met like this, and it seems that the world is still very small. ”

"Mom." Bai Yiru smiled weakly at Ning Keyan, "I now know why I felt that Emilia was very kind when I first met her, and now I know that the involvement of family affection is really a magical thing." ”

Ning Keyan nodded, "Yes." The fate between people, I really can't say it, when I first saw you, I liked you very much, who knew that you were actually the granddaughter of my mother's good sister. Thanks to that seal, I found a good daughter-in-law and let you find your roots. ”

"Not really." Bai Yiru thought about it herself, and she also felt incredible, she was kind enough to help Ning Keyan find back the seal that was snatched by the thief, and later involved so many things and solved the mystery of her life experience.

"Thomas, you said that Leon loves Hu Wanyun very much, so does he have any other women besides her?" Gu Dongning listened to the feelings of his mother and Bai Yiru for a while, and suddenly realized a problem, so he asked Thomas.

"Other women? No. Thomas shook his head firmly, "I'm pretty sure there's no other woman in Leon." The relationship between him and Hu Wanyun is a model, which makes many women envious and jealous. ”

"Think about it, did Leon have any children with other women?" Gu Dongning asked again, Thomas is Leon's secretary, and it stands to reason that he should know ninety percent of Leon's affairs.

"Why do you ask? Leon loves Hu Wanyun very much. Thomas looked at Gu Dongning warily, all the other party wanted to know was the mystery of Bai Yiru's life experience, he had already said it, and there was no need to say anything else about irrelevant things.

"Leon loves Hu Wanyun, and whether he has a child with another woman, these are two things, who dares to guarantee that there is no accident?" Gu Dongning always felt that Thomas knew something, but he deliberately concealed it, so he decided to get to the bottom of it. "Because Leon loves Hu Wanyun, he left the family property to Zheng Peipei, not to another child, Simon won't care about that child, he doesn't need your protection, not to mention that you have rebelled now and are no longer Leon's people. Say, where is that child? Who is TA's mother? ”

"Actually, there's no harm in suing you. Although this is a scandal for the Schultz family, after many years, no one on Leon's side pays attention anymore, so there is nothing to hide. Thomas thought about it, but told him what he knew. After Hu Wanyun's death, Leon was depressed, often drank and got drunk, and soon accidentally raped Julia, the lowest maid in the family. ”

Li is the patriarch of the big family, and having a relationship with a lowest-level maid is the last thing he should do in his identity, he can touch any woman, but he can't move the maid, this is a debasement of his own identity, and if it is spread out, it will definitely be despised.

So Thomas is not exaggerating at all when he says it's a scandal.

"Go on." Gu Dongning probably already knew what he wanted to know, but just in case, he still patiently said that Thomas finished speaking.

Julia was pregnant, and Leon asked her to take the baby and give her a sum of money to send her home to ensure that she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. However, Julia wanted to keep the child, so she took the initiative to mention that she would take the money, take the child away, produce and raise it by herself, and from then on completely dissociated from the Schultz family, and only begged Leon not to kill the child. Leon knew that it was his fault, so he didn't insist on anything, but immediately sent Julia to a strange country, and threatened her not to say whose child it was, otherwise he would kill her and the child. In order to protect the child, Julia never said that she worked as a servant in the Schultz family, let alone told others how the child came to be. Even after the birth of her daughter Michaela, she hid it. ”

"This Michaela ......" Ning Ke Yan heard this, and said openly, "It should be Zhong Jing's mother, right?" By accident, she actually married our family's bodyguard. ”

"I don't know." Thomas shook his head and said, "Even when Julia died of illness in her thirties, I heard from others, and I never paid attention to where her daughter was doing. ”

"It must be." Gu Dongning asserted, "Although we are not quite sure what the name of Confectionery's mother is, it can only be that Michaela married our family's bodyguard and gave birth to Confectionery, otherwise how could Confectionery be sisters with Yiru." ”

Zhong's mother was a servant of the Hoffman family, married to the family's bodyguard, and no one cared what her name was, and no one even remembered what she looked like.

Gu Dongning and Ning Keyan had some impressions of her, but it was only because of that one thing, otherwise they would never care about this maid.

"Dong Ning-" Bai Yiru suddenly stood up slowly from the wheelchair, holding on to the armrest of the wheelchair, and looked at Gu Dongning seriously, "I think I have to go back to H City." As far as possible. The tone is non-negotiable.

"You're going to see your mother?" Gu Dongning carefully and nervously stabilized Bai Yiru, afraid that she would fall.

"Hmm. I know my body, I don't have a problem going back, you can see that I can stand up on my own, and I won't pull the wounded parts of my body. ”

"Let's discuss this matter when we go back." Gu Dongning stroked Bai Yiru and sat down again, and said to everyone, "Since we know everything we know, let's go back now." It's late at night, and the humidity in the mountains and forests is heavy, which is not good for the body. ”

Ning Keyan nodded, she could bear it, but Bai Yiru's body couldn't be convicted.

"Wait. I still have something to ask. Bai Yiru asked Gu Dongning to wait, and she asked Thomas again, "Do you know why Simon hates Emilia?" Why did he beat his own daughter? ”

Although Emilia is Simon's daughter, she is kind-hearted, and her subordinates are merciful and do not want Bai Yiru's life, and tell Sù to be careful of Simon. So Bai Yiru still decided to help Emilia ask the reason.

"I really don't know about that. Although I watched Emilia be born, I never knew about Simon's relationship with his wife and children. After all, that's not what I'm supposed to care about. "The only thing I know is that it was after Madame's death that Simon began to hate Emilia." In fact, it can't be said to be hate, it should be the feeling of love and hate. ”

"How did Emilia's mother die?" Bai Yiru asked, Emilia's mother should be very young, naturally it will not be a normal death, there must be some accident, so she died young.

"Died of illness. Suddenly, he said that he was sick, and the family doctor had not yet invited him, so he went. The time from onset to death is rapid. Thomas replied.

"That's weird." Bai Yiru said to herself, since she couldn't ask, she didn't plan to ask Thomas again, so she said to Gu Dongning, "Let's go back now." ”

Gu Dongning nodded and ordered someone to take Thomas and leave together.

Thomas was locked next to Ben, and the two fathers and sons only saw each other for a few seconds, and before they could speak, he was pushed inside the door by Ah Qi and slammed shut.

In the hall of the Hoffman family castle, everyone had just had a meal, and they told Master Gu the truth about Thomas.

"If Yiru wants to go back, it should be. But this will, Dong Ning, what do you do? After listening to this, Master Gu heard that Bai Yiru was going back to H City, so he looked back at Gu Dongning and asked.

"It is not a simple matter to take out a will. Let's not make a noise about this matter first, let's act in secret, find a way to get the will, and don't alarm Simon. Gu Dongning said his plan, "I'll accompany Yiru back to H City, and after I come back and get the will, I will go to a showdown with Simon." ”

"Then Yiru is going back to be the patriarch in the future?" Master Gu's eyes went back and forth on Gu Dongning and Bai Yiru, and he didn't say who he was asking.

Bai Yiru is struggling with this, according to her grandfather's wishes, the family wants her to go back to take charge, but she doesn't know anything except painting and singing, where can she manage the family business.

And to take back the family business, Gu Dongning will inevitably fight Simon, and no one dares to guarantee what will happen.

But if she doesn't take back the family property and manage the family well, she is sorry for her grandfather's hard work, and she feels sorry for her dead mother.

"Yiru is not happy to be the patriarch." Gu Dongning had already come up with the answer from Bai Yiru's tangled eyes, so he said to everyone, "The only thing Yiru likes is painting and singing, and making her the patriarch is embarrassing her, so I decided to manage the family instead of her for the time being, and train Qixi to be the next patriarch." ”

"I'm afraid I don't like to be constrained by these complicated things." Bai Yiru slowly spoke, "Grandpa, Dong Ning, why don't we merge the Schultz family into the Hoffman clan." In the future, if Qixi is willing to manage the company, she will be given a part. If she doesn't want to, then it's all left to Chiayi. ”

"Eru." Gu Dongning listened to Bai Yiru's words, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Child, you are impulsed, this is a matter of the fate of a family." Master Gu also reminded Bai Yiru that in fact, he was very happy to mention her in his heart, this was a great opportunity to develop the family's power, and who wouldn't like the pie in the sky.

"That's right. Yiru, think about it. "Ning Keyan also reminded Bai Yiru that she didn't expect her daughter-in-law to be so generous, so she had a feeling that she shouldn't accept it." Don't do what you regret. ”

Bai Yiru shook her head, "Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Dongning, I don't regret it." No, it won't. She took the initiative to stretch out her hand, took Gu Dongning's hand, and said very firmly, "I married Dongning is a family, and what my grandfather left me is not mine, it should be me and Dongning." Besides, I don't have the ability to manage the family well, this ability is only available to Dong Ning, and I believe he will manage it well. And the merger of the two families will make our Hoffman develop better. If Grandpa found out, he would be happy. He loves my grandmother and mother so much, and he must love me too, so how can he be willing to oppose my decision? ”

After that, she smiled relievedly, making a decision is so simple, as long as she figures it out, she won't bother with anything anymore.

"Yiru, I'll manage it for you for the time being, and leave it to Qixi in the future, so it's best." Gu Dongning loves Bai Yiru, but he never thought of getting any benefits from her, Schultz belongs to her, he just wants to help her get it back, and he never wants to take possession.
