Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: The Feng Family’s Hidden Secrets
Xu Haohao stepped over the threshold, watching the sunlight filter through the carvings in the wooden door.
"Mr. Feng Huaimu is in the study," the butler pointed somewhere ahead.
Xu Haohao nodded, curiously walking toward the study, her eyes darting around, full of inquisitiveness.
Who would have thought, although Feng Huaimu was such a cutting-edge top racer, his home was quite vintage; she had previously thought it would be very modern.
About three to four meters outside the study, Xu Haohao suddenly stopped, her face a bit awkward.
It seems she wasn’t the only one looking for Feng Huaimu today; there were others?
From the half-open study door came intermittent talking sounds, and it seemed to be... a woman’s voice?
A woman’s voice?
Xu Haohao tensed up, instinctively clasping her hands together.
Feng Huaimu had been putting it off, saying he was considering it, perhaps because he had a woman he liked?
Xu Haohao couldn’t help but step forward again, and the voice became clearer.
"So my grandfather was right, you’re the child from my Mu Family? All that talk about the Mu Family’s eldest son dying young is nonsense?" Mu Qingmei asked frenziedly, looking at the man leisurely practicing calligraphy in front of her.
Feng Huaimu: "Miss Mu, you’re interrupting my writing.";
Neither confirmed nor denied.
Mu Qingmei irritably ran her fingers through her hair, pulling out several strands of black hair. A gust of cool wind from the window made her shiver, her brain already starting to imagine wildly.
Mu Qingmei looked at Feng Huaimu before her, thinking he didn’t seem particularly similar to her Brother Qi...
Mu Qingmei’s teeth chattered as she shakily asked, "You... you wouldn’t be Madam Feng’s child with, with my dad, would you? Did Madam Feng cuckold Brother Qi’s real father?"
The Feng Family Head was a very domineering man, his personal life chaotic, with many women and illegitimate children, yet he wouldn’t allow himself to be cuckolded.
If this were exposed, the legitimate eldest son of the vast Feng Family was cuckolded by Madam Feng...
Instantly, Mu Qingmei thought of Feng Huaijin, a dense feeling of guilt rising in her heart; all of this was her father’s dirty deed!
"Otherwise, why can you freely enter and exit our Mu Family’s ancestral hall?"
Feng Huaimu paused his calligraphy, raising his eyes to look incredulously at Mu Qingmei’s imagination, suddenly directing his gaze to the door, coldly shouting, "Who?"
Xu Haohao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stepping forward as if her legs were filled with lead, and said with difficulty, "Hi~"
It seems she heard some incredible secret...
And a top wealthy family’s scandal. Perhaps she really came at the wrong time.
The three looked at each other, the study bathed in warm sunlight, silent.
Xu Haohao finally spoke with difficulty: "I... I didn’t hear anything."
Feng Huaimu suddenly laughed at her words: "It’s fine, even if you heard it, it’s okay."
Feng Huaimu looked at the speechless Mu Qingmei, raising his hand to gently pat her head, saying, "Sister."
Mu Qingmei suddenly felt unwell, it seemed she really guessed right.
Grandfather said that due to irresistible factors at the time, that eldest brother was adopted out, referred to as having "died young"... actually just to cover up that scandal, wasn’t it?
Mu Qingmei left in a daze, just stepping out of Feng Huaimu’s doorway, she received a call from Su Li.
Su Li’s voice was sweet: "Qingmei, did you come to Jiangzhou Prefecture? Huaijin and I, along with your little nephew, are inviting you to dinner."
