Chapter 227 No blood relationship
People’s knee-jerk reactions don’t lie.
Therefore, Li Jia did not miss the fleeting shock in Gu Miao's eyes.
Gu Miao's expression was dull, but fortunately she reacted quickly and adjusted herself immediately.
Based on her previous dishonesty, before she spoke, Li Jia reminded: "You can't lie,"
"..."
She predicted her predictions.
Gu Miao's lips moved slightly and she swallowed the perfunctory answer.
After a pause, he said: "Yes."
"You..."
"Two questions, over."
Gu Miao interrupted her with a smile, "I'm leaving first."
When she turned around, the smile on her face completely disappeared, and she almost ran away.
The mood for shopping was gone, and Gu Miao took Xiao Li back to He's house immediately.
She now needs a quiet and independent space to have a good chat with the system.
"Miss Gu?"
In the elevator, Xiao Li spoke up again.
"Ah?" Gu Miao raised her eyes, "What's wrong?"
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xiao Li confirmed again and again.
Gu Miao shook her head gently and smiled: "I'm fine."
When the elevator arrived, Gu Miao stepped forward, "I'm going back to the room first. You can go and rest too."
Open the door, close the door, and lock it in one go.
Gu Miao leaned against the door frame, took a deep breath, and called the system to come out.
【Host. 】
"Did you see it?"
【Yes. 】
Gu Miao was pacing back and forth, feeling incredible, "So? Why?"
"Li Jia peeked at me taking a shower?"
"How could she be so clear about a position that I might not be able to see when I look in the mirror?"
"In my memory, only Jiang Qingshi seems to know. Could it be that he told Li Jia? Do you think it is possible?"
"Tongzi, don't tell me there is a hidden plot?"
"I'm Li Jia's sister? My cousin? I can't be her daughter, right?"
[Host, please calm down first. 】
"I'm so calm!!!"
【……】
The system’s obsequious explanation: [Because your setting is for a cannon fodder female partner who was offline early, the author did not mention the female partner’s original family in the plot of the original book. 】
After all, he is just a character who was taken off the production line shortly after his appearance. He is just cannon fodder used to promote the emotional development of the male and female protagonists. Who cares about her origins.
"So, you still don't know anything about it?"
【No no no! 】
[On your way back just now, I have quickly synchronized the information from Li Jia. 】
[Li Jia is the eldest daughter of the Li family in the port city. The family has been in business for generations, mainly engaged in import and export trade. Most of the industry is currently abroad. She has a younger brother, one year younger than her, but not her biological brother. 】
"..." Gu Miao's anger was reduced by half in an instant, and she was attracted by Tongzi's words. "They are not biological siblings?"
In the information provided by the old gentleman, you can clearly see the information of people who have close contact with Li Jia. She only knew that the relationship between their siblings was not very good, but she did not expect that they were not related by blood.
This point was not included in the information, which means that no one in Hong Kong except the people of the Li family should know about it.
【Yes. ] The system added: [According to the data, the host has met her brother not long ago. 】
"?" Gu Miao blinked, "No way."
The system brought up the scene at that time and showed it to her.
At the art exhibition, in the corridor, a man and a woman stood side by side.
That girl is Gu Miao.
She folded her arms and was admiring the painting on the wall.
The man next to her stood quietly beside her.
The picture is warm and beautiful, in sharp contrast to the richly colored paintings on the wall.
"Shall I... go?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Gu Miao's eyes widened. Her memories of unimportant people were regularly cleared.
So now that she was looking at this video, it took her a while to remember that she had indeed seen it.
"It's him."
[Another piece of news is that the painting you saw in this art exhibition is the work of Li Jia’s mother. 】
Gu Miao's eyebrows twitched slightly. Just as he was about to recall, he heard the system reading Baidu Encyclopedia aloud in its dry mechanical voice without any fluctuation:
[The famous painter Yu Jingwen, female, is from Hong Kong City and her ancestral home is Shencheng. Her father is a master of traditional Chinese painting. When she was four years old, she began to learn painting. When she was fifteen years old, her works were listed in the xx auction, and she was called a rare genius in China in the past twenty years. When she was eighteen years old, her work was spotted by Li's eldest son in Hong Kong and sold for a sky-high price just for the beauty's smile. Yu Jingwen quickly fell in love, married Li's eldest son at the end of the same year, and gave birth to her eldest daughter Li Jia the following year. Five years later, Yu Jingwen died of illness in Hong Kong City. 】
"..."
Regarding Li Jia's mother, the information provided by the old man only introduced the date of her marriage to Li Jia's father, and mentioned at the end that she was a painter.
However, from beginning to end, her name or introduction to her works did not appear. As a result, Gu Miao did not pay much attention to it and did not search for information to learn more about it.
Why didn't you look carefully at that time?
Oh, I remembered it.
It's because, in Li Jia's profile, there are five women listed in the column about his mother.
In other words, after Yu Jingwen died of illness, her husband still had four marriages.
"I always thought that the relationship between their siblings was not good, because the younger brother is most likely the son of Li Jia's other stepmother. After all, he is a half-mother, so he is still related by blood."
"Unexpectedly, we are not biologically related."
[Li Jia’s younger brother is most likely the son of her father’s first love. After the other party passed away, her father took him home. Is it considered adoption? 】
"Both Li Jia and her brother know about this?"
[Her brother did not confirm because he was very young at the time. But Li Jia knew. 】
"...The wealthy family is really in chaos."
Gu Miao rubbed her eyebrows and said, "How is her brother? I had a brief contact with him last time and he seems to have a pretty good personality."
[It is understood that Li Jia’s father plans to hand over the family business to Li Jia’s younger brother. It was also because of this that Li Jia went abroad. 】
[However, her brother seems not to have this ambition. Her brother also likes painting, so he has been busy with Yu Jingwen's art exhibition and never focused on the company. 】
"Ah, that's why Li Jia decided to come back." Gu Miao understood.
[Host, I can only synchronize the information from Li Jia's side. I can't confirm the relationship between you and Li Jia yet. Currently, she is investigating your profile. 】
[I suggest that you contact her proactively and cooperate with her investigation. 】
Gu Miao touched her chin and said, "Just wait. If it is really relevant, she will definitely contact me impatiently."
[Host, aren’t you looking forward to it at all? 】
Gu Miao sat down, looking extremely calm now compared to how crazy she was just now.
"Because after listening to what you said, I feel that even if Li Jia and I have some relationship, it might not be a good thing if we recognize each other."
"She is not favored even in the Li family. Do you think that scumbag father will be happy about my appearance?"
"Li Jia can be pushed out as a tool for marriage. Do you think my end will be better than hers?"
