Chapter 173 The Cat Who Got Its Tail Stepped On
"You know what... hey... you know what, it's really possible! Could you be a princess of some great power? Or maybe a highly skilled martial arts master, renowned throughout the land, will suddenly appear and claim to be your maternal grandfather? It's all so amazing!" The more Gouzi thought about it, the more mysterious and enigmatic the original owner's identity seemed.
"How could this be? My mother, Wei Wan, would never mistake someone for someone else! Besides, you must know that my maternal grandfather is the dignified Grand Tutor Wei. He holds a high position and has a very secure home. How could he possibly be involved with a martial arts master?"
"Besides, my mother, she would never be the kind of person to get involved with people from the martial arts world!" Yun Juan muttered to herself, shaking her head vigorously. Even she herself thought that the thought that had suddenly popped into her head was too absurd and ridiculous.
However, although Yun Quan firmly believed in her judgment at this moment, it was undeniable that the original owner of the body seemed to be hiding many unknown secrets.
These secrets are shrouded in mystery, making it difficult to see their full picture.
Although Yun Juan has inherited the original owner's identity and memories, she is still completely unaware of these deeply hidden secrets.
Perhaps, with the passage of time and a series of coincidences, those mysteries will eventually be revealed one by one...
"But... you just mentioned fragments? What fragments are you referring to?" Yun Juan suddenly remembered that Gou Zi seemed to have mentioned something about fragments earlier, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's...it's because he has fragments on him! But we can't rule out another possibility, maybe he himself is formed from fragments!" Gouzi blinked and made his bold guess.
"What? He's a fragment? You're telling me a living person is a fragment? Am I supposed to kill him and bring him back to our space? Not to mention that would be too cruel, he's a living person!" Yun Quan's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, finding this utterly absurd.
"Hehe, actually I also think the idea that a living person is made of fragments is a bit far-fetched! So it's more likely that he has fragments hidden on him!" Gouzi scratched his head and explained with an embarrassed smile.
"Yes, that's what I think too! It seems we need to find a suitable opportunity to ask him properly next time we see him."
Yun Juan nodded thoughtfully, indicating her agreement with Gouzi's view, and secretly pondered how to extract the secret about the fragments from the other party.
We can't just go and ask them directly, can we?
Yun Juan gently shook her head, pondering to herself that it might be inappropriate to speak so rashly.
As she pondered these thoughts, she unknowingly arrived at her doorstep.
Looking up, I saw my second brother, Yunrui, pacing back and forth at the door, pushing the wheelchair, looking very anxious.
She quickly lifted the carriage curtain, jumped off the carriage hastily, and hurried towards Yunrui, asking with concern, "Second Brother, what exactly happened? The weather is getting colder now. What if you catch a cold after staying outside for so long?"
As she spoke, Yun Juan took off her thick cloak and gently draped it over Yun Rui's legs.
Upon seeing his younger sister return, Yunrui was overjoyed, as if she had seen a savior. She hurriedly said, "Sister... something terrible has happened... Grandfather has suddenly come to visit! He's sitting in the main hall right now, and just thinking about it makes me feel the chill emanating from him!"
Just thinking of her grandfather's stern, unsmiling face made Yunrui shudder, as if a chill was rising from her spine.
However, unlike Yun Rui, Yun Juan showed no fear upon hearing this. Instead, she grinned mischievously and teased, "Oh? I see. But I wonder what brings Grandfather here? Hehe... Second Brother, could it be that Grandfather is the person you fear most?"
As she spoke, Yun Juan playfully winked her bright, lively eyes at Yun Rui, as if she had discovered her second brother's secret.
"Hmph! What's there to be afraid of! My maternal grandfather isn't some mountain tiger. Does he really think he can devour me alive?" Yun Juan replied nonchalantly, then strode inside. Yun Rui followed closely behind her.
"No... even more than a tiger..." Yunrui hadn't finished speaking when her younger sister had already arrived in the living room.
"What did you say about me again, you brat? That I'm worse than a tiger?" With these words, a powerful pressure surged forth like a tidal wave, catching everyone off guard.
Upon sensing that terrifying aura, Yunrui's face instantly turned deathly pale. He tightly closed his mouth and lowered his head, like a frightened rabbit.
Just then, Yun Juan realized the situation was not good, so she quickly stepped forward, stretched out her arms without hesitation, and affectionately hugged the old man's arm, saying coquettishly, "Grandfather, why didn't you send someone to let me know you were coming? That way, I could have prepared your meal in advance!"
Upon hearing this, the little old man, who was addressed as maternal grandfather, was slightly taken aback at first, then laughed and scolded, "You little brat, you're quite the social butterfly!"
This was the first time that Grand Tutor Wei had met this little girl.
Speaking of Yun Juan, she was sent to live on the estate when she was young, so she never had the chance to meet her maternal grandfather.
In addition, over the years, because his mother married Yun Ting, and Grand Tutor Wei did not approve of the marriage, he had not maintained contact with his daughter.
However, when he learned that his daughter had divorced Yunting, his worries grew like wild grass.
The moment he heard the news, he wanted nothing more than to rush to his daughter's side and ask if she was alright and if she had a place to stay.
Unfortunately, his impulsive act was firmly stopped by his wife. She earnestly advised, "Master, we need to give our daughter some time to process this. Besides, you warned her before that Yunting was unreliable, but Wan'er wouldn't listen, even threatening to sever ties with you. Now that things have come to this, we can only wait patiently until she calms down before visiting her."
Despite his reluctance, Grand Tutor Wei ultimately heeded his wife's advice.
However, as he grew older, his longing for his daughter grew stronger, and he would often think of her involuntarily, worrying that she was suffering alone out there.
