Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1243: Daddy Dabai Sets a Trap for His Sons (9)

Zhong Qiaohui wipes her hand over her face and says, "Mom, Grandpa, I am Zhang Yingxi’s wife now. I am going to find him."

Zhong Mother stares in disbelief, "Do you know what you are saying, Qiaohui? He’s dead, dead—"

Zhong Grandpa’s expression darkens, and he steps forward, pushing Zhong Mother aside, telling his granddaughter, "Come with me."

Zhong Qiaohui follows Grandpa into his study.

Zhong Grandpa paces two steps in the study, looks back at his granddaughter, unsure whether to show pity, and says, "Do you know who he is?"

Upon hearing Grandpa’s words, it seems he has known many things all along. Thinking about how Grandpa has hidden the truth even from her, Zhong Qiaohui’s eyes darken slightly, saying, "Grandpa, I don’t understand what you’re saying. Isn’t he Zhang Yingxi?"

"That’s right," Grandpa says. "Previously, Yingxi came to me saying someone had coveted a family heirloom from our Zhong Family. So, he asked me to give it to him for safekeeping. I agreed because the marriage between the Zhong and Zhang families was due to this. The Zhang Family also has such an heirloom. It’s said that the two heirlooms are identical and must be placed together to be unlocked."

Does this mean the box he entrusted her with should be paired?

Zhong Grandpa doesn’t know if his granddaughter understood, and continues, "Of course, he cannot just take away the Zhong Family heirloom. I personally supervised him placing the heirloom in a secure place. Only he and I know how to open it. I trust him because he is the eldest son of the Zhang Family and planned to marry my granddaughter. But last night, suddenly, such a major event occurred. I couldn’t help but worry about the safety of the place where we left the heirloom. When I went to check alone, I found that the box had long been replaced, and there was nothing inside."

Zhong Qiaohui appears not to comprehend, remaining silent.

Zhong Grandpa seems to understand her current state of confusion and says, "I don’t know what Zhang San told you, but that man Zhang San, you watched him grow up and know his character. On the contrary, Yingxi has always been too deep and reserved. I’ve always been uncertain if letting you marry Yingxi was the right decision. Now such a big event happened, and so many coincidences are intertwined. You see, he’s dead, and I can’t go and hold the Zhang family accountable."

All in all, Grandpa has a huge question mark in his heart about Zhang Yingxi’s sudden death.

Zhong Qiaohui only knows that the man gave her his family’s heirloom. This alone proves every word he told her was the truth, and for her, he could do anything.

"Grandpa, I choose to believe him."

Listening at the door, Zhong Mother worriedly glances back towards where Zhang Sanfeng left.

It seems Zhang Sanfeng heard nothing, allowing himself to be carried away from the Zhong Family. The outcome was undoubtedly worse than he initially imagined.

With her, they’ve become nothing, not even friends. She doesn’t trust him anymore.

Two monkeys and their uncle went to the library’s reading room.

Ou Yanan found them children’s books to read. But the two monkeys weren’t interested in children’s books and picked up the medical books Ou Yanan selected for himself.

Opening the medical textbook with illustrations, Little Mingli points at a picture and tells his brother, "Dad said to look at this."

If Dabai knew what his two monkeys were flipping through, he’d probably faint.

Lingxin glances at the illustration his brother pointed to, his little face flushing red, covering the open pages with his small hand while secretly glancing at the English book title his brother flipped through.

"Brother, can you read the words on top?" Both attended bilingual kindergarten education since childhood, yet Little Mingli was evidently more playful and not as academically inclined as his brother, who could recognize many letters.

If Lingxin is said to be a little genius, it’s more accurate to call him a diligent good student, always carrying an English electronic dictionary to check what book his brother was reading, clarified: Gynecology.

Little Mingli asks, "What is gynecology?"

Returning after getting water for the two monkeys, Ou Yanan hears the monkey asking this, and countless gazes around them land on him, his face naturally turning red as he quickly walks over and pulls the book out of Mingli’s hands, admonishing, "Reading this will make you lose your appetite."

Little Mingli suddenly realizes, "Dad wants me to read Uncle’s book so I won’t have an appetite!"

Lingxin gives his brother a look: You just realized now the hole Dad dug for you?

As a result, this naïve brother actually reaches out to Uncle and says, "I want to read this. I don’t want to eat. I want to lose weight and become a little male idol."

Ou Yanan, like Dabai, is about to faint, his fingers frustratedly rubbing his temple, unsure how to explain to the monkey.

Just then, someone comes over.

The two monkeys notice their uncle’s expression changes a bit upon seeing that person approach.

The person walking toward them is Ou Shihua. This is not surprising because Ou Shihua was invited to attend the marriage between the Zhong Family and the Zhang Family.

"Yanan." Ou Shihua pats his adopted son’s shoulder, his sharp gaze sweeping over the two little Xiao Family monkeys beside him.
