The waiter quickly led them to a private room on the second floor. There was another floor above, but Lin Mengya guessed that it was the legendary VIP room.
They were just here to eat something new, so they didn't care too much about it.
They found a seat by the window and sat down. The waiter immediately served them a pot of tea and left respectfully.
"Little sister, just say what you want to say."
Gong Si rarely got to the point like this, but today, he was afraid that if he continued to beat around the bush like this, the Gong family would sooner or later fall apart.
Lin Mengya didn't say anything. She looked at Gong Si and Gong Bin and said calmly.
"That woman is my sister in Jin State. Her name is Lin Mengwu, and she's my half-sister. "
Of course, she couldn't say the Lin family's dirty linen out loud.
Even so, Gong Bin and Gong Si still had a surprised look on their faces.
"How did you know?"
Gong Bin continued to ask. He had already asked Gong Lu to hide them properly.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and took a sip of tea.
"I met her by chance. Big brother, if you believe her, you can give it a try. I'm sure you all know that I used to be an idiot, right? "
An Zichen had mentioned it to her on the boat.
There weren't many people who knew about her in Weiguo, and she had asked An Zichen to keep a certain part of her situation a secret.
However, back then, the Gong Family had never thought of bringing her back because she was an idiot.
Even though she was an idiot now, what else couldn't she give up for the family's interests?
"Speaking of which, I also have to thank that mother and daughter. If her mother hadn't poisoned me first and her daughter hadn't tried to poison me to death, I wouldn't have fought poison with poison and cured the poison by a freak combination of factors. Of course, this is just my side of the story. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, let me remind you that Lin Mengwu doesn't come with good intentions. "
When she put away her gentleness, she could also be as cold as ice.
Gong Si's eyes were filled with bitterness. He knew that this girl was very smart, and there were some things that she might not know.
But sometimes, she just didn't say it out loud.
"This is a serious matter. I think we should be careful."
Gong Bin frowned. In fact, he was feeling conflicted.
He liked Gong Ya from the bottom of his heart.
This girl was courageous, broad-minded, and did not bother with trifles. She also had her own unique views on people and things.
However, the Gong family really couldn't withstand the storm.
"I believe you, Big Brother. If what the girl called Lin Mengwu said was true, why didn't she confront you openly, but hid in the dark and instigated you and Gong Lu? Big Brother, do you really think that I don't know anything about what you and Gong Lu have done? "
Gong Si's trust surprised Lin Mengya.
She had thought that Gong Si and Gong Bin would play the good cop and the bad cop respectively. After all, they were brothers.
But now, what was going on?
"Fourth Bro, you —"
"Big Brother, I know you also want to know which one is real and which one is fake. But you shouldn't have plotted those things with Gong Lu behind my back. In my eyes, you do things in an open and aboveboard manner, and you would never scheme behind my back. Now, it seems like I've misjudged and trusted you! "
There was disappointment and anger in Gong Si's eyes.
Lin Mengya roughly understood why Gong Si would take the initiative to let them come here.
After all, it was a criticism meeting against Gong Bin.
Then what could she do? She could only watch this internal strife between the brothers.
"Fourth Bro, Big Brother also has his own difficulties. Do you think that I don't want to believe that Ya 'er is our long-lost little sister? But, that woman not only has the Phoenix Hairpin, but also the key to the secret vault. I've already sent someone to verify it. It can indeed open the outer door of the secret vault. You have to know that that is the lifeline of our family! "
Gong Bin's vehement speech made Gong Si and Lin Mengya dumbfounded.
Wait a minute, the secret vault?
Wasn't it in her room? Where did the secret vault come from in Xin Province?
"Big Brother, have you been deceived by someone?"
Gong Si was a little helpless. Although his little sister only told him and Third Brother about the secret vault, but the sudden appearance of a large amount of money in the family was enough to explain a lot of problems.
Even with Gong Er and Gong Wu's brains, they had already roughly guessed it. Why did their usually smart big brother …
"That is the real secret vault, I saw it with my own eyes, it can't be wrong!"
Gong Bin was still making a solemn vow, but Gong Si and Lin Mengya felt that the eldest of the Gong family was suspected to be mentally retarded.
"Then the money that our family had previously, have you ever wondered where it came from?"
Gong Si asked carefully, but Gong Bin's expression changed.
After looking at Lin Mengya, he said in a low voice.
"She said that the money was actually left behind by the Yu family in collusion with Gong Ya. Otherwise, why would the Yu family be willing to leave the old mansion so easily? I didn't believe it at first, but she could actually say the mark on the money. I, I have to suspect. "
Today, Lin Mengya and Gong Si completely understood what it meant to be clever for the sake of the family.
The reason why they didn't tell Gong Bin before was because they were afraid that he would be too considerate of the family and be reluctant to let the money rest in the ground.
Unexpectedly, it was used by Lin Mengwu.
Lin Mengya threw a look at Gong Si. Although it was her fault, she was afraid that Gong Si would have to do the hard work of explaining.
Just at this time, the delicious food that they had ordered before arrived.
Lin Mengya ignored the two brothers and reached out to the steamed sea crabs and prawns on the table.
She used to love eating this. Although she had eaten a lot during the ten months when she was drifting on the sea, she always missed it.
After she ate a plate of sea crabs, which weighed half a catty each, like a little mouse, the explanation finally came to an end.
"How dare you! How dare you deceive me like this! "
Gong Bin's face was as red as fire. Although some of it was because of Gong Si, most of it was because of his anger.
He clenched his fist and punched the wall hard. Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at him, then continued to eat crabs.
"Big brother, how many times have I told you not to care about the overall situation? Don't always exhaust your efforts for the family's affairs. Do you know that Lin Mengwu values this point of yours? That's why she almost sowed discord between us brothers! "
Gong Si tried his best to persuade him. He felt distressed and depressed for this big brother of his.
On the other side, Lin Mengya finally finished eating crabs. She washed her hands in the white porcelain bowl and leisurely wiped each of her fingers dry before she spoke.
"You can't blame it on me. Lin Mengwu grew up with me. When I was a child, I was timid and muddle-headed, so I was always bullied by them. So it is possible that they secretly kept one or two things from my mother. But don't you think it's strange? Even my two cousins and I don't know about these things. How can she know so much about it? "
As she expected, the reason why Gong Bin believed Lin Mengwu's nonsense was not only because Lin Mengwu brought the Phoenix Hairpin, but also because she knew a lot about her grandmother and mother, especially about the Gong Family.
But she didn't know anything about it. It was just that the An Family endorsed her.
Coincidentally, at this time, the An Family was also in a mess. That naturally reduced her credibility.
So, Lin Mengwu could take advantage of the situation.
"Little sister, it's all my fault as your big brother. I'll apologize to you!"
Gong Bin was filled with regret and hatred. He only felt that he had no face to see this girl again. As he spoke, he was about to kneel down and apologize to her.
"Alright, we're all family. In the future, if big brother has any problems, you can ask me directly. You see, even a little girl like me doesn't secretly think about things. Big brother is so rough, don't learn from other people's little girls. "
Gong Bin couldn't kneel anymore. His face was red with shame. In desperation, he could only glare at Gong Si, who was watching the show from the side.
The latter opened his folding fan and looked at the fan innocently.
What did it have to do with him? He was also very wronged.
"Little sister, don't worry! In the future, I won't suspect you anymore! "
No matter how smart a person was, he would still be trapped by his own demons.
Gong Bin knew clearly that he wanted to revitalize the Gong Family and get rid of the previous humiliation. That was why he was deceived and almost used by others.
The result was a happy ending. But in the hearts of the three of them, no one could relax.
Lin Mengwu's appearance meant that those people's conspiracy against the Gong Family had not stopped.
They were treading on thin ice. If they were careless, they might be killed.
"Instead of showing loyalty here, it's better to go back and chase that woman out!"
Gong Si had always hated people who liked to stir up trouble behind others' backs. It seemed that the Gong Family had suffered a lot of such vexation before.
Lin Mengya shook her head. She picked up a big prawn from the plate and put it in the bowl.
"Now that she is in our hands, we can wait for the opportunity to make a move. Although Lin Mengwu is vicious, she is most greedy for glory. I think that's why I could see her in the auction house. She can't stand me doing well, so it's very easy to deal with her. The difficult part is to find out who is behind her. "
She was not afraid of fighting against someone who had lost to her.
With Lin Mengwu's greed and stupidity, that woman probably didn't know that she would die a terrible death if she got involved in the fight between the Gong Family and other families.
But if it was the old Lin Mengwu, how could she have the ability to fool Gong Bin?
It seemed that the master behind Lin Mengwu had some tricks up her sleeve.
"That's right. But there are so many people who want to harm our family. How are we going to investigate?"
Gong Bin flew into a rage out of humiliation. He couldn't wait to catch that woman and interrogate her personally.
Lin Mengya and Gong Si looked at each other and said in unison.
"An Ruchu!"
