Chapter 228 You're the Dumbest
Chapter 228 You're the Dumbest
Situ Wenqi looked at Xiao Luan and Mo Ci with a helpless expression. The two of them were talking at cross purposes. One was going in one direction and the other in another; they were completely on different wavelengths.
Mo Ci insisted that "it" had no family, so it longed to have one; while Xiao Luan emphasized that watching family members die would bring great pain, but the problem was that "it" had no family at all, so how could it have such pain?
It would rather suffer the pain of its entire family's death than lose its family. This shows just how much it longs for its family.
Situ Wenqi couldn't help but speak up: "Alright, you two, stop arguing! It's so noisy!"
Seeing that the two had quieted down a bit, he continued, "Mo Ci, you've been saying that you have no family and long for one. Have you tried to find your family yourself?"
Mo Ci's eyes widened as if she had heard the most absurd thing in the world, and she shouted: "Family? What is that! I've never known what family is!"
"Sigh! I knew you were just saying that in anger," Situ Wenqi sighed softly. "But think about it, is it possible that your family has actually been looking for you all along?"
Mo Ci retorted without hesitation: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I was heartlessly abandoned by them!"
Situ Wenqi shook his head and pressed further: "Who told you you were abandoned? Was it the director of the orphanage? But did he actually see the person who abandoned you?"
Mo Ci: [No.]
Because of the fact that he was an orphan, it was a wound that Mo Ci dared not touch, and he had not even asked the director of the welfare home.
He was terrified, afraid that he had truly been abandoned, so he dared not investigate, much less ask.
Situ Wenqi nodded slightly. "Yes, under normal circumstances, people don't easily abandon healthy baby boys. Even though I've been recuperating in the south, I've traveled to many places over the years, and such situations are indeed extremely rare."
Those healthy baby boys became orphans either because their parents died and no one wanted them, or because they were maliciously abandoned by people with ulterior motives...
Of course, the world is vast and full of wonders.
It is inevitable that there will be some irresponsible parents who simply give birth to children but are unwilling to raise them. Although such cases are in the minority, they are not entirely non-existent.
If that's really the case...
If that were the case, Mo Ci's temperament would have already changed by then, and he might have acted differently.
Although Situ Wenqi is not entirely confident about him at the moment, there's always a way out!
When the problem actually arises, we can always find a way to properly resolve it.

Mo Ci's body is currently in the welfare home, but the welfare home has hired a doctor for him, though they haven't been able to find the cause.
However, someone regularly fed him small amounts of rice gruel to ensure he wouldn't starve to death while unconscious.
After thoroughly investigating Mo Ci's matter, Gu Yunchen dispatched people to the welfare home to pick Mo Ci up and properly settle her in another quiet place.
Not only that, he also specially arranged for a doctor to examine him every two days to prevent any other problems from occurring, and even sent a servant from the Marquis's residence to take care of him.
"You can rest assured now, your body is being taken good care of. Whenever you wake up, we will continue to look after you."
There will absolutely not be a situation where, when your soul returns to your body, you are shocked to find that your physical body is gone.
“Oh, right,” Jiang Mianmian continued, “after your little fairy noticed that you had suddenly disappeared, she actually went to your orphanage by herself to look for you.”
Jiang Mianmian frowned slightly and said, "It's really strange. If she doesn't know you, how does she know you're in the orphanage?"
"It's like Xiao Luan; he lay quietly in the villa for a long time, but Su Qianqian never visited his villa once, nor did she ask him anything about him."
[Hehe... Of course, they're different. Getting into the orphanage is relatively easier, but the Lin family is different. Although finding out where the Lin family's villa is isn't difficult, how will she get in?]
If Su Qianqian goes, without a doubt, the Lin family will find out about this and will naturally launch an investigation into her, uncovering all her secrets!
Mo Ci: "..."
Hmph, I'm not a fool like Xiao Luan.
Xiao Luan: [Hey, no! Why am I always the one who gets hurt?]
Situ Wenqi then retorted mercilessly, "[Well, what can we do? You're the dumbest one among us, aren't you?]"

Lin Jinyue acted quickly, and just a few days later, she invited Jiang Mianmian and Li Tingxue to visit her home.
After parting ways with Jiang Mianmian, he immediately returned to the Lin family and made special arrangements for his family beforehand. Only in this way was he able to successfully invite the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the Lin family.
"Oh my! Aunt Jiang, you've finally arrived! Please come in!" The moment Jiang Mianmian stepped into the Lin family's living room, the scene before her eyes made her eyes widen in surprise.
A row of large, dazzling labels stood out, as if beckoning to her and shouting, "Come pick me! Come pick me!"
These "labels" radiate an alluring glow, each seemingly containing endless secrets and surprises.
Wow! That was amazing!
[Tsk tsk tsk... Look at this line of 'cannon fodder'.]
I wonder what kind of exciting show will unfold next.
[To be honest, Su Qianqian's methods are quite ruthless, and she's also incredibly vicious. None of the members of the third branch of the Lin family survived; they're all dead!]
Although she already knew the ending in her heart, Lin Jinyue's eyebrows still involuntarily twitched slightly when she actually heard it.
She suddenly turned around, her eyes sharp as knives, and fiercely glared at her parents, her second brother, and her third brother standing behind her. The warning in her eyes was self-evident.
She seemed to be warning them in this way that they should stay put and not make a sound. If anyone dared to make the slightest noise, they should not blame her for turning her back on them on the spot!
Faced with such a sharp gaze, Lin Jinyue's parents, second brother, and third brother all fell silent, not daring to utter a sound. They could only exchange a silent glance, seeing a trace of helplessness and fear in each other's eyes.
Afterwards, everyone began to greet each other, and after a few essential polite exchanges, they all found seats and sat down.
Immediately afterwards, Madam Lin loudly ordered people to quickly serve tea and delicate snacks.
"Aunt Jiang, please take a seat and try the new tea and delicious snacks," Lin Jinyue said with a beaming smile and an exceptionally attentive tone.
Jiang Mianmian: "..."
Jiang Mianmian was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but think to herself, "Why does this child look so obsequious?"
However, she did not reveal her true thoughts. Instead, she smiled and agreed, and actually picked up the teacup in front of her and took a small sip of the fragrant tea.
Just as Jiang Mianmian lowered her head to drink her tea, Lin Jinyue quickly turned her head and repeatedly winked at the rest of the Lin family members, while also gesturing with her hands:
[See? Did you all hear what Aunt Jiang said clearly? If you did, raise your hands to show your agreement.]
Lin's father: Raise your hand
Lin's mother: Raises her hand.
Younger brother: Raise your hand
Second brother: Raises hand
Li Tingxue subconsciously raised her hand.
Lin Jinyue: Hmm, not bad. Since we're sure we can all hear you, remember what I said before: pretend you didn't hear it, and shut your mouths.
If anyone dares to let Aunt Jiang know that we can hear her thoughts and ruin my plans, hmph...
Lin's father/mother/youngest brother/second younger brother: 【…Understood.】
What can they do when faced with such an unreasonable daughter/sister?
I can only endure it.
Lin Jinyue immediately turned her head and put on a smiling face, saying, "Aunt Jiang, I haven't introduced you yet. This is my father, Jeremy Lin."
[Oh ho, it's that Jeremy Lin who got together with his "white moonlight" and then caused the death of his whole family!]
[Wow, so that's what it looks like!]
[It's not that great, is it?]
Jeremy Lin: "..."
Jiang Mianmian nodded and smiled: "Hello, Mr. Lin!"
"Madam Hou, hello!" Jeremy Lin tried to appear calm and expressionless, but in reality, he was already panicking inside.
The inexplicable phrase "white moonlight" kept echoing in his mind, and he inwardly groaned, "What white moonlight? I don't have any white moonlight at all!"
Feeling guilty, Jeremy Lin quickly turned his gaze to his wife, Wen Linlin, who was glaring at him fiercely, her eyes seeming to spit fire.
A chill ran down his spine, and a sense of unease crept in.
Wen Linlin was so angry she gritted her teeth, but she didn't lash out, knowing she couldn't ruin things.
Therefore, Wen Linlin cursed inwardly, "White moonlight, huh? How old are you? Aren't you ashamed of yourself!"
At this moment, Lin Jinyue quickly introduced Wen Linlin: "This is my mother." After saying that, she carefully observed the other party's reaction.
At this moment, Jiang Mianmian sighed inwardly: [Alas! What a tragic woman! Her husband wanted to divorce her and marry another, and her son and daughter were both murdered. With such misfortunes, it's no wonder that Madam Lin ultimately chose to commit suicide by hitting her head against a wall.]
"Sigh... As a woman myself, what can I do to help her?" Thinking of this, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but feel sympathy in her eyes as she looked at Wen Linlin.
She smiled and said, "So you are Jin Yue's mother. No wonder she is so beautiful. She must have taken after Madam Lin."
I never imagined that Mrs. Lin, with her children already so grown up, would still be so young and beautiful. It's truly enviable..."
Upon hearing this praise, Madam Lin's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she and Jiang Mianmian began a back-and-forth exchange of compliments.
Madam Lin was secretly shocked: "My goodness! It really is true that the whole family died? Except for that heartless man, the entire family is dead, not a single one is left..."
If that were the case, she might not be able to handle the blow and might even decide to kill herself by banging her head against a wall.
