Chapter 616: Chapter 616

Chen Meng’er returned to the car. Elder Liu looked at Chen Meng’er with a worried expression. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he could not help but ask, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. Grandpa, what do you think would have happened to me?” Chen Meng’er asked with a smile.

“I know that you still have a glimmer of hope for the Qu family.” If Chen Meng’er did not have hope for the Qu family, she would not have allowed the Qu family to take her hair for the paternity test. However, she did not do anything and allowed things to go on like this. “Actually, Elder Qu and his family are not bad at heart. Moreover, Elder Qu only wanted to get an excuse from you to deal with that old woman from the Murong family.” Despite Elder Liu not giving the two any attention during dinner, he could not hold it in anymore. His heart softened, and he spoke up for the two.

Chen Meng’er listened to her grandfather’s words, the smile on her face continued to grow bigger. “Grandpa, is it a blue moon? You actually spoke up for the Qu family? Aren’t you afraid that Grandpa Qu will snatch me away from you now?”

“What nonsense!” Elder Liu’s nostrils turned up. “Speaking of which, this still depends on you, lass. Will you abandon an old man like me?”

“Of course not.” Chen Meng’er subconsciously replied without even thinking.

“Then that’s it.” Elder Liu gave a smug smile and said, “Then what else do I have to worry about?”

At the Qu family residence, In the middle of the night, the house was still brightly lit. As soon as Elder Qu and Qu Yaobing arrived home, the other four sons gathered around anxiously.

“Dad, how is it? What did Meng’er say?” The eldest son, Qu Yaotian, took the lead and asked.

“Sigh, we forgot that Meng’er is not a soft-hearted person. We had the wrong plan previously. I reckon it made the situation worse.” Elder Qu sat on the sofa with a dispirited look, his face was full of exhaustion.

“AH. It can’t be?” Qu Yaohui said with a face full of disbelief, “We just wanted to ask Meng’er’s opinion.”

“We underestimated the Green Gang and also underestimated Meng’er. She told us that she already knew who the mastermind behind the scheme to take her away was.” Qu Yaobing said as he buried his face in his palm. After learning the truth, the pressure in Qu Yaobing’s heart was the greatest among all the Qu family members. He could not understand why his mother-in-law would do such a thing and why she would take his daughter away. She even gave the order to silence his daughter. He asked himself whether he had done anything to let her down. He even asked himself how many times he had wiped the Murong family’s asses over the years.

He did not dare to tell his wife the truth. He was afraid that his wife would not be able to withstand such a blow.

He felt even more sorry for his daughter. As a father, he did not protect her well. He had the responsibility of being a father to her.

“You said that Meng’er already knew? Then what does she want to do? Or rather, what does Elder Liu want to do?” Qu Yaotian frowned and asked his father.

“It’s very simple. Meng’er and Elder Liu just want to see our family’s position.” Elder Qu sighed.

“Then father, what should we do now?” Qu Yaohui asked.

“What should we do indeed.” Elder Qu said, but his eyes were looking at his youngest son.

He wanted to recognize his granddaughter that he had spent so much effort to find, but how to deal with Matriarch Murong would depend on his youngest son’s decision. After all, that was his mother-in-law.
