Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: Sending My Remaining Years From Afar (33)

And the other party kept their promise, and very soon he was able to enter agencies that others couldn’t get into, rising through the ranks several times.

But after that, the woman never contacted him again, nor could he reach her.

So much time had passed, Zhou Hai had long deleted the contact information.

Chuzheng stood up and pushed the recording towards him.

Disregarding his image, Zhou Hai rushed to delete it.

However, Zhou Hai had barely caught his breath when he walked out of the Golden Sunshine Club, only to be invited for a ”chat.”

Chuzheng rolled up the window.

The red scarf on her chest looked even more vivid!

-

Who was the woman Zhou Hai mentioned?

And who was the person the butler said called the Yu Family’s Eldest Young Master?

Chuzheng couldn’t find more clues for now, so she decided to start with other members of the Yu Family.

But after going around, no one appeared suspicious.

The Yu Family’s former servants, regarding the incident, some only knew that the Yu Family’s Eldest Young Master drowned to death, while some knew a bit more, albeit only related to the Yu Family’s Fifth Young Master.

The Yu Family had covered up the matter tightly back then.

At the moment, Chuzheng sat in front of the last servant who left the Yu Family.

However—

The person already had dementia.

”The Young Master was so handsome.” The old lady with white hair rambled on: ”Many young girls liked our Young Master. I still have work to do, I won’t chat with you anymore...”

The old lady stood up to do her chores, touching here and wiping there.

Chuzheng rubbed her forehead, feeling uncomfortable.

”Miss Song?”

Chuzheng immediately put her hand down, maintaining her idol image.

Hua Can, behind, said: ”I don’t think the old lady can tell us anything, we should leave.”

Chuzheng glanced at the old lady absorbed in her work, then got up to leave.

Suddenly, the old lady dropped her handkerchief, rushing over: ”Hui Hui, don’t run around!!”

And who is Hui Hui!!

Hua Can explained by the side: ”Hui Hui is the old lady’s granddaughter.”

The old lady looked around: ”Hui Hui, don’t run around here, if the master’s family sees, they will punish grandma. See, that’s the Young Master, isn’t he handsome?”

The old lady’s expression suddenly dimmed, and she drifted back inside like a phantom.

”The Young Master died so miserably, such a pity, such a pity...”

Chuzheng had planned to leave, but hearing this, she turned back, picking up on her words: ”How was the Young Master miserable?”

”Such a pity, such a pity...” The old lady kept repeating this line.

Where’s the pity, the old lady didn’t say a word.

Hua Can waited a moment, sighed: ”Miss Song, let’s go.”

Chuzheng and Hua Can stepped out, just as a woman was about to open the door from the outside.

”Who are you?” The woman sized them up strangely, with a hint of wariness.

”The old lady’s granddaughter, Hui Hui.” Hua Can whispered.

”We came to see her.” Chuzheng’s tone was cold.

”See my grandma?” Hui Hui was puzzled: ”Who are you guys? My grandma has dementia, she probably doesn’t remember you, you...”

Hua Can dealt with Hui Hui for a while, then Chuzheng stepped down first.

She sat in the car, feeling a bit annoyed.

”Miss Song.” Hua Can got in the car: ”Look over there.”

Chuzheng followed Hua Can’s direction and saw Song Yanran.

After such a long time, Song Yanran looked more glamorous than before, with Ling Xu by her side.

The Song Family’s situation had stabilized now.

Uncertain if it was Ling Xu’s help or Yu Kai’s contribution.

Chuzheng remembered that Song Yanran had also been involved back then, and her mood worsened.

But now what’s more important is to clarify this matter.

”Let’s go.”

Hua Can scratched his head, started the car, and left.

Chuzheng flipped through the messy documents, suddenly asked Hua Can: ”How did Old Master Yu’s original wife react after her son’s death?”

”She was really upset,” Hua Can said, ”I heard she was sent to the hospital right away at that time, she hadn’t recovered even at the funeral, and her health has been poor all these years, living a life of chanting scriptures.”

”And then?”

”...”

And then? Isn’t that a normal reaction?

”Didn’t she take revenge on Yu Jin?” In the Yu Family’s eyes, Yu Jin was the murderer!

Hua Can paused: ”Seems like... she didn’t. Old Master Yu gave the word back then, she... probably didn’t dare do anything, right?”

Hua Can had some unreliable guesses in his mind.

Chuzheng also had some.

Could someone who fought through so many obstacles among Old Master Yu’s numerous concubines to become the original wife really be a gentle flower?

Yu Jin killed her son, and she could tolerate it?

That was her only son.

The good days in the Yu Family depended entirely on this son.

Even if Old Master Yu said so, after all these years, could she really make no moves?

Chuzheng texted Yu Jin, asking if the original wife had ever troubled him.

Yu Jin called back directly.

”Baby, what are you thinking?”

”Just guessing around.”

”...” A moment of silence from the other side: ”She never troubled me, from my brother’s death to his burial, she was very unstable mentally, at the time... things were a bit chaotic, I was locked up and not quite sure, then I was sent away.”

But during his time abroad, the original wife really never troubled him.

As if he had long been forgotten.

”Baby, that’s her son.” Yu Jin’s voice was somewhat somber.

Even a tigress wouldn’t eat its cubs.

Why would she harm her own child?

”Yeah, right.” Chuzheng responded absentmindedly: ”Just a guess, I’ll know after I inquire.”

”Baby...”

Yu Jin’s voice got cut off from the phone.

Chuzheng asked Hua Can: ”Do you know where she is now?”

Hua Can: ”She should be at the Yu Family Old Mansion.”

This original wife no longer lived at the Yu Family’s main residence, having moved to the Old Mansion long ago.

Chuzheng: ”Let’s go take a look.”

Hua Can wasn’t really convinced though, finding the idea far-fetched.

”Even if it’s not her, being the mother of the Yu Family’s Eldest Young Master, she might know something.”

-

The Yu Family Old Mansion wasn’t within the urban area but in the township.

The Yu Family’s ancestors had started from here.

The Yu Family kept the Old Mansion, and with their help, the entire town was built beautifully.

The Yu Family here was praised by everyone as great philanthropists.

Yu Residence.

Chuzheng stayed in the car for a while, and Hua Can had already knocked on the door.

An elderly woman opened the door, unsure of what to do after hearing they were looking for Madam, only letting them in after asking for instructions.

The old mansion was ancient and dignified, an old-style quadrangle courtyard.

Pavilions and balconies, carved beams, and painted pillars, everything displayed refinement, yet not ostentatious, with a low-profile and restrained luxury.

The woman led them to a spot, serving tea: ”Please wait here for a moment.”

Hua Can dared not sit, standing behind Chuzheng, curiously glancing around.

Such a house surely had someone carefully maintaining it, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so preserved.

But it was somewhat deserted.

They hadn’t seen anyone all along the way.
