Chapter 95: 058: Agreed to a meeting, but it’s like the cat never sees the king_6

What does a three-year-old know?

Even if it’s just four hundred meters from home, they can still get lost.

Fang Youling was an extremely intelligent person and she immediately picked up on the implication behind Grandma Lu’s words, her gaze lifting slightly, "No. How could I trust an outsider with something like this?"

Many people urged Fang Youling to treat Fang Hongyu like her own biological daughter.

But a niece is a niece.

She could love her niece dearly.

But it was definitely not the same kind of love one has for a daughter.

As she finished speaking, Fang Youling continued, "On the day Qiushui went missing, it happened to be a Friday. Hongyu was at school, and I made sure to check. She was at school the entire day, and didn’t return home until after school in the evening."

At first, Fang Youling had indeed suspected that her niece might have secretly taken her daughter somewhere and abandoned her.

Such things were not unheard of.

However, the investigation showed that Fang Hongyu had no anomalies that day.

"Was there surveillance?"

Although the surveillance systems back then were not very advanced, because Fang Hongyu attended a prestigious school with relatively advanced facilities, cameras were installed in every corner of the campus.

Upon hearing this, Fang Youling added, "We checked the surveillance too, and Hongyu indeed did not leave the school premises that day."

"Are you sure?" asked Grandma Lu.

"Positive," Fang Youling nodded.

Grandma Lu still felt there was something odd about this whole affair.

She remembered that Tang Qiushui was a clever child from a very young age, and a stranger simply couldn’t take her away.

If Tang Qiushui had indeed been taken by someone she knew,

then there was a fifty percent chance that the person was Fang Hongyu.

Because without Tang Qiushui, Fang Hongyu would be the only person related by blood to Fang Youling.

At that time,

Tang Qiushui would become the heir to the Tang Family.

Just then, Tang Shaowei spoke up, "The surveillance from that year, Youling and I watched it together, and Hongyu indeed did not exit the gates that day."

If Fang Youling were the only one who had viewed the surveillance, one might suspect she had been mistaken.

But now that two people had seen the footage, there was no question of a mistake.

Could it be,

she was overthinking it?

Grandma Lu’s brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Fang Youling and asked further, "I remember, your sister-in-law Du Juan remarried later, right?"

Why could Grandma Lu remember Du Juan’s name so clearly?

Because she found this person to be shameless like the cuckoo, taking over the nest of others.

What kind of normal woman would abandon her own biological daughter after her husband died and go off to enjoy herself?

Such a person was simply unworthy of being a mother!

"Yes," Fang Youling nodded.

"Such a cruel woman, to abandon her own flesh and blood,"

As she spoke, Grandma Lu seemed to think of something, "Does Hongyu have any contact with her now?"

"No," Fang Youling narrowed her eyes, "In recent years, someone mentioned that woman in front of Hongyu, but Hongyu was very resistant. Understandably, which child would acknowledge a mother who had once abandoned them?"

Grandma Lu tapped her index finger on the tabletop, "Have you looked into Du Juan’s situation in recent years?"

"No, I haven’t seen her for many years."

Grandma Lu continued, "I think... you might want to look into it, there could be unexpected findings, you know?"

"Alright," Fang Youling nodded.

In the back garden,

Lv Tang was walking side by side with her mother.

Neither too fast nor too slow,

Suddenly, Lv Tang glanced back at the direction of Fang Youling’s bedroom and asked curiously, "Mom, what do you think Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandma Jin are talking about?"

Grandma Lu almost came every year,

And each year, she would close the doors and have long talks with Fang Youling.

Year after year,

She wondered what they could possibly have to talk about so much.

On hearing this, Fang Hongyu narrowed her eyes, "Aside from your estranged table aunt, they don’t really have much else to talk about."

The "table aunt" Fang Hongyu referred to was naturally Tang Qiushui.

By relation, Lv Tang should indeed refer to Tang Qiushui as "table aunt."

Alas,

Tang Qiushui was an unfortunate soul who met an early death,

Unworthy of Lv Tang’s calling her "table aunt."

Lv Tang narrowed her eyes, "Do you think they might be talking about the inheritance?"

Inheritance?

Hearing this, Fang Hongyu didn’t speak.

Although she was the nominal heir to the Tang Family, she was not a true member of the family. Without an official will, she could not rightfully inherit Tang Group and the family wealth of the Tang Family.

Lv Tang went on, "You’ve slaved away for this family for many years. If Grandpa and Grandma don’t leave all the family wealth to you, it would be grossly unfair."
