The Return of the Reborn King

Chapter 440: Just in Case
Grantham handed the recipe back to the waiter, turned his head and explained that the beef should only be medium rare, and when the person standing beside him walked away, Yunxi touched the tableware at hand, and finally showed the first unexpected expression of the day, "Do you know Christina's mother?" Can you hear the word "famous" in his mouth?Could it be that she is too ignorant?When Qiao Lao was investigated, it was true that only CHRISTINA was found to be his illegitimate daughter. As for who her mother was, there were different opinions and no conclusion was reached.

Grantham frowned, feeling that today's topic involved things from too many years ago, like going through a childhood photo album after many years, and for a while, something was so heavy on his chest, it was hard to say.Pausing for a few seconds, he seemed to be thinking about how to speak.

Yunxi was not in a hurry, since he was willing to speak, he would naturally be unable to tell the whole story.

"I should have told you that Shui Mulian and I are half-brothers and sisters. Back then, before my mother met my father, my mother was living in a very difficult situation for a while." It was a long time ago, many years ago Listening to the stories told by others, when he talked about this past, he was almost a little strange and out of it.

"My grandfather was a banker. His ancestral home was in Shanghai. When the family moved, he died of typhoid fever. The family plummeted, and my mother had to go out to make a living. Because ordinary jobs do not want to accept women, so she turned to someone else to help her become a private student. Sir." Said it was 'Sir', but they came to the homes of those Hong Kong businessmen to help take care of their children, in fact, they were no different from babysitters.From a rich young lady to a half-servant all of a sudden, no matter what, even though she solved the problem of survival, she was also very disdainful by the group of close friends in the boudoir.

At that time, although the order in Hong Kong was better than that in mainland China, it was not much better after all.There are always some people who are interested in sex and have ulterior motives have been blocking the door, looking for opportunities to take advantage of it again and again.

"My mother knew a gentleman who was over half a century old and very kind. There was only an only daughter in the family, and she was quite doted on. My mother taught that girl Chinese studies and painting. After getting along for a long time, they gradually became friendly. Another time when I went out, someone intentionally The student who flirted with her and frightened her mother was caught by the police by her father. It was a long night and dreamy, so I helped my mother contact the church school and recommended her to be an art teacher. Later, under the protection of the church, my mother Gradually, life became stable." Calculating the time, neither the mainland nor Hong Kong could be regarded as stable so many years ago, and the turbulent situation always affects the whole body. A woman is very lucky and proud to be able to support herself one thing.What's more, his mother, as the most knowledgeable among the group of famous ladies who immigrated from Shanghai to Hong Kong, had always attracted people's attention.Falling from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, meeting noble people again, turning danger into fortune.Her mother often said that she would be grateful to two people in her life, because of them, her fate was completely rewritten.

After teaching in Hong Kong for three years, he met his father, who later moved to Europe and took his husband's surname, so the number of people who knew about it gradually decreased.

Yunxi heard half of it, and since he showed that complicated expression, he knew that the student who helped his mother enter the church was probably the mother of the Christina he was talking about.

But, how did her mother become a "famous" figure?

Before Yunxi opened her mouth to ask, Grantham continued to pick up the topic: "After I was born, my mother's position became much more stable. She returned to Hong Kong and wanted to take the father and daughter to Europe for a small gathering, but she didn't expect to receive According to the news, that gentleman was sent to Jiangxi because of a business problem. In order to make a living, that student at the age of 16 became the most famous courtesan in Hong Kong."

Life really is a farce.Ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi.The father and daughter who once stood on a high place and bowed their heads to help a girl from a foreign land unexpectedly ended up like this.Yunxi didn't know how to react other than 欷歔.

"Later, my mother took her home and nurtured her carefully. Later, she was spotted by a fashion magazine, and she was photographed on the cover of the magazine, and gradually became a 'supermodel'. I thought everything would be fine, but I didn't expect that there was a guard A British official in Hong Kong was drunk at a ball at my house, and publicly announced her past among rich people in Hong Kong. The next day, she disappeared." At that time, he was only seven years old, and his memory was very vague. The student who at most remembered his mother had a very special face.Obviously her hair color is black, but her facial features are three-dimensional and deep, which is extremely eye-catching.Only when I grew up did I realize that she turned out to be of mixed race.

Yunxi sighed, her fate was too much.I am afraid that this lady has no way out after returning to China, so she followed Qiao Lao and became an invisible woman.

"Ten years ago, I saw an obituary in the newspaper, and that was the last time I heard about her." The waiter served the dishes, and Grantham also ended the heavy topic.

No wonder, just now CHRISTINA showed such an expression at the airport.Perhaps her mother should have taken a photo of the Grantham family with her when she left. Although she had never seen Grantham himself, she was very familiar with his appearance.

Her father refused to officially admit her identity, her mother died young, and she was surrounded by bullying and oppressive people, who were worried about CHRISTINA's IQ just now, but at this moment, Yunxi felt that this girl was really not easy.

At hand is the hotel key card that Christina handed her before leaving, and Aunt Li is temporarily placed there.She put the key card in her bag, and calmly picked up the knife and fork to eat: "Since we are acquaintances, her mother helped your mother back then, do you want to help her?"

Grantham was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "How is it possible, I haven't even met her face to face." If she was really pure-hearted, she might not be able to resist helping her, but seeing how she was in Yunxi just now With the show in front of her, even the last trace of sadness in her heart disappeared.

Yunxi looked at him with some surprise: "I always thought you were an honest person."

Grantham gave a wry smile, and the man beat him back, leaving people speechless.He finally understood that the eldest son Zhuo Feng and Qiao Zimo walked so cleanly at the airport in the morning, it was not indifference at all, but accurate calculation, this girl can only be used by others, Christina is in front of her Totally not enough to watch.

"Since you don't intend to be sympathetic, then I'm not polite." Tore off a small piece of bread, Yunxi ate with a very elegant posture, and gave him a vaccination with a smile on her face.

Grantham felt that what he just said was completely useless, so he could only say in a low voice: "I don't have any friendship with her, but my mother feels a little guilty towards her, and always feels that she didn't protect her students back then. That's why she lived in misfortune all her life. Of course you can treat her whatever you want, but it's for my sake not to hurt her life, so I can have an explanation." Thinking of his mother, he couldn't help but sigh.Originally, he wanted to help Leng Yunxi out of morality, but in the end, he hadn't gone to the relevant institutions to help the Leng family get rid of the suspicion, but he owed Leng Yunxi a huge favor because of the grievances 800 years ago. Grantham said luck was never on his side once he met Leng Yunxi.

Yunxi glanced at him, looked at his pretended "sorrowful" expression, and chuckled: "Come on, come on." She didn't intend to kill Christina, but it was really not her style to leave the bait delivered to her door unused.She is also going to use this girl who claims to be excellent in acting to play a big hand with Mr. Zhang!
At this point in the topic, Grantham also ate quietly.Half an hour later, after walking out of the hotel, Yunxi wanted to say goodbye first and leave alone.

Grantham knew where she wanted to go without having to turn his head. "You have endured it for three months, you can't even bear it for such a day, can you? How many people in the whole BJ are waiting for you to show up? You can't count them with your hands, and you are in a hurry to deliver them to your door? "

He knew more or less about her sister-in-law Li. CHRISTINA can place people in the hotel because of how many people are staring at them.Rather than letting this Mrs. Li, who has a deep relationship with Leng Yunxi, run around like a headless chicken, it is better to use her as a bait. As long as Leng Yunxi looks for her, they will naturally find Leng Yunxi immediately.

"Do you think that from the moment we show up at the airport, we can still hide from the eyes of those who want to?" She suddenly paled, looking at Grantham with an expression almost like laughing at his naivety.

She is too clear about the background of the group of people who confronted the Leng family. CHRISTINA may have met her by chance, but the others knew her whereabouts by now at the latest.Avoiding has never been her style. Now that she is back, she will never let go of some people and things!

Grantham couldn't believe that Leng Yunxi walked away in front of him like this.

Knowing that Mrs. Li is being watched by someone, but she has no hesitation?Is it because she is not as indifferent to the current situation of the Leng family as she seems, or is it because she has other plans?
He took out his phone, thought about it, and decided to contact someone, just in case.

The identity of the eldest son is awe-inspiring. If Zhuo Feng came forward, no matter who Yunxi met or met at Mrs. Li's place today, he would be safe, but by some coincidence, the number in his hand was dialed to another number.

"Hello?" The man's indifferent and alienated voice came from the other end, and it seemed to always have a noble and distant feeling.

Grantham suddenly paused, and that person's stunningly beautiful face flashed in his mind. After a long time, he said helplessly, "Qiao Zimo, Leng Yunxi went to the Four Seasons Hotel..."
