Wen Xin looked at Old Master Wei’s expression. His act of sighing in relief made her heart involuntarily tighten. She didn’t know that Mu Chengxi knew about the Tang family.

“I’ve never mentioned Wei Shisheng’s identity to Chengxi. I thought you knew because he investigated it. Although it’s difficult to investigate Independent Island, it should be possible with his abilities.”

Old Master Wei suddenly found it difficult to read Wen Xin’s eyes. He didn’t know what secrets this girl held, but her gaze gave him an inexplicable sense of pressure.

“Chengxi only told me that when Wei Shisheng was young, she claimed to be a daughter of the Payten family. She never mentioned her mother’s identity. I am just guessing that her mother should be the eldest daughter of the Tang family, right?”

“Yes, she was the eldest daughter of the Tang family. However, she had already cut ties with the Tang family before entrusting Wei Shisheng to me. How did you know about this?”

Old Master Wei affirmed Wen Xin’s guess but still doubted her intentions in asking this question.

“What do you want to know? Or are you trying to confirm something?”

“I want to know about the events from back then. Is Wei Shisheng’s mother still alive? Why did she fake her death back then? And what conditions did she discuss with you when you adopted Wei Shisheng?”

After Wen Xin asked her question, Old Master Wei’s expression became guarded. He didn’t expect a young girl to know so much. He was certain that Wei Shisheng didn’t even know about her biological mother.

In fact, Wen Xin’s recollection of this matter wasn’t accidental. While investigating Meng Ci’s identity yesterday, she discovered that Meng Ci’s mother’s surname was Wei, and she was from Beijing.

It was clear that this identity was fake, and Wen Xin’s first reaction was that Meng Ci’s mother was Wei Shisheng’s mother. The research project that her parents were involved in before their accident was handed over to Meng Ci’s father. Wen Xin believed there was a connection and wanted to understand who the Meng family was.

While training in Independent Island, Meng’s father had even kindly advised Meng Ci to take good care of her…

Looking into Wen Xin’s eyes, Old Master Wei frowned slightly. His voice was low and stern as he asked, “Who exactly are you?”

“My last name is Wen. Old Master Wei, can’t you guess who I am? The head of the Tang family of Independent Island is my grandfather…”

After stating her identity, Wen Yi’s eyes widened. He looked at Wei Xin in disbelief. “Are you saying you’re Moqian’s daughter?”

“Yes, I am Wen Moqian’s daughter.” Wen Xin revealed her identity calmly. She hoped Old Master Wei would tell her what she wanted to know.

After listening to Wen Xin’s words, Old Master Wei remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

“Yes, you guessed right. Wei Shisheng’s biological mother is indeed the eldest daughter of the Tang family. She used my adopted daughter’s identity to marry into the Meng family in Independent Island. However, I don’t know the reason behind her faking her death and changing her identity. She even underwent plastic surgery.”

Old Master Wei looked into the distance, recalling past events, and gently told Wen Xin.

“The power struggles in Beijing were stable at the time, but the sudden emergence of the Wen family disrupted the balance. The establishment of two major laboratories accelerated the development of various forces in Beijing. Some families, including ours, sought new partnerships as a way out.”

Old Master Wei didn’t want to hide anything from Wen Xin after knowing her identity, so he began to explain the events of the past.

“The Mu family has always stood at the top of the pyramid. It’s impossible for new forces to shake them, but other families still felt the impact to some extent. We had to expand outward to find a way out.”

“Because our origins were somewhat related to Independent Island, it was easier for us to establish contact with them compared to other families.”

“So, when I went to negotiate cooperation with Independent Island, I met Wei Shisheng’s mother. She said that if I gave her a Beijing identity, she would help me promote cooperation with the Tang family.”

“At that time, she only told me she was the eldest daughter of the Tang family but didn’t mention that she had been driven out by the Tang family and had a daughter.”

“I was in a hurry back then and wanted to cooperate with Independent Island to avoid being eliminated by the forces in Beijing, so she used me. I brought her back from Independent Island to Beijing and arranged for her to have a status as my adopted daughter in the Wei family.”

“I don’t know when it started, but she became the lover of the young master of the Meng family. Eventually, she successfully pushed out the original wife of the young master of the Wei family and became the mistress of the Meng family in Independent Island.”

“After successfully getting together with the young master of the Meng family, she asked me to take care of Wei Shisheng. I thought that since she had successfully settled in the Meng family, I would also have a chance to cooperate. So, I agreed to adopt Wei Shisheng.”

“It’s undeniable that although she hasn’t done anything big over the years, she has also helped stabilize the position of the Wei family. But other things were beyond the scope of our agreement.”

Old Master Wei looked at Wen Xin with tender eyes as if seeing something and chuckled. “Now that I take a good look, you do resemble your parents a lot, especially those eyes, so much like your mother’s, shrewd and calculating…”

“Old Master Wei also knows my mother?” Wen Xin looked at Old Master Wei, her eyebrows raised slightly. She felt that someone who could negotiate with Wei Shisheng’s mother might not necessarily get along well with her own mother.

“Of course I do. She also helped the Wei family. Chengxi’s uncle is your father’s colleague in the laboratory. Unfortunately, good people don’t live long.”

Old Master Wei’s tone was full of regret. It was evident that he genuinely felt that way. Wen Xin’s initially cold expression softened slightly.

“Thank you, Grandpa, for telling me all this.”

Hearing Wen Xin call him grandpa, Old Master Wei laughed heartily. “You’re such a clever girl.”

“When you came in and called me Old Master Wei, I guessed it. You wouldn’t have come to me if you didn’t have some tricks up your sleeve. Luckily, I didn’t do anything bad when I was young; otherwise, you might not accept me as your grandpa, right?”

“Does Chengxi know your identity? The responsibilities on the shoulders of the little princess of Independent Island are not small. Little girl, carrying everything by yourself will be too hard. You must trust Chengxi; he will protect you.”

After knowing Wen Xin’s identity from her mention of her father, Old Master Wei was already aware of Wen Xin’s identity. He didn’t expect this young girl to have such a background.

Whoever said she was a country bumpkin had clearly mistaken a jade for a mere stone.

Wen Xin picked up the tea Old Master Wei had poured for her earlier and took a sip. “He knows. After Elder Ou’s birthday banquet, he already knew my identity. He’s been very good to me and has been protecting me all along.”
