Chapter 190 Mingyin's Clever Words and Sophistry
“Mingyin, I already know that you are not my biological granddaughter, Miss Chu is.”
Grandpa Ming looked at Ming Yin with heartache.
"Grandpa, what are you saying? How can I not be your granddaughter? Who told you this nonsense?"
Mingyin was so anxious that she almost cried.
What's going on? No one but her brainless parents would know about this, but didn't they kidnap Chu Xinglan for her sake? They wouldn't possibly reveal her identity.
Gu Ye shoved Ming Yin away. If she refused to reveal Lanlan's whereabouts, he had plenty of ways to make her tell him.
Mingyin stumbled and fell to the ground, but Grandpa Ming didn't react at all, which made her feel a little scared.
"Grandpa, it's me, Mingyin. Aren't you the one who loves me the most? Aren't you afraid that my father's spirit in heaven will be saddened by this?"
Mingyin tried to appeal to people's emotions.
In the past, Old Master Ming would never have allowed Gu Ye to treat her like this, but now... Moreover, hearing Ming Yin mention his son made him even more heartbroken. If anything happened to his real daughter, he would have no face to see his dead son even after he died.
"Grandpa, don't listen to outsiders' nonsense. I am your own granddaughter."
Mingyin rushed to Old Master Ming's side and grabbed his arms with both hands.
Grandpa Ming gently withdrew his hand.
"Grandpa, you can't disown me! Who said such hurtful things?" Mingyin cried bitterly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
“Miss Mingyin, I told the old man that you are not his biological granddaughter.”
At this moment, Uncle Ma walked over with the help of others.
When Mingyin saw Uncle Ma, she turned pale with fright.
"Uncle Ma, how come you're still alive?" Mingyin blurted out, then quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
"Thanks to you, I survived this ordeal. I did this so that I could expose your true colors and let the real Miss Ming return home," Uncle Ma said with a faint smile.
"What do you mean, 'real young lady'? Uncle Ma, you watched me grow up. Even if I did something wrong, you can't treat me like this. How can I not be the young lady of the Ming family? You can't wrong me."
Mingyin quickly composed herself, looking at Uncle Ma with a wronged expression, as if Uncle Ma had a conflict with her and he had casually slandered her.
Gu Ye watched Ming Yin perform quietly from the side.
Uncle Ma was so excited that he kept coughing.
“Miss Mingyin, don’t distort the truth. If I hadn’t known your secret, why would you have pushed me down the stairs?”
"My secret is that I'm not the eldest daughter of the Ming family, as you say? Everyone here except you knows that I am the eldest daughter of the Ming family. Why are you slandering me like this?"
Mingyin took shamelessness to the extreme, insisting that Uncle Ma had framed her.
"Grandpa, I know you trust Uncle Ma a lot, but do you really think you can conclude that I am not the eldest daughter of the Ming family based solely on Uncle Ma's words? Don't forget, Uncle Ma personally carried me back in the first place. How could that be false?"
Old Master Ming found it difficult to make a judgment for a moment.
Mingyin was sincere, and Uncle Ma wouldn't deceive him; there's more to it than meets the eye...
"Xiao Ma, Ming Yin is right. You did bring Ming Yin back with your own hands. How could that be fake?" Old Master Ming looked at Uncle Ma and asked sternly.
The Ming family bloodline cannot be compromised in any way. If Ming Yin is truly his granddaughter, this incident will likely leave a shadow in her heart.
Uncle Ma thought carefully about the scene when he brought Mingyin home twenty years ago.
"Back then, when we learned that the 18th-tier actress Xiang Wan had left behind Young Master Minghao's daughter, we followed the old man's instructions to pick up the young lady. When we found the family where the young lady was being fostered, they brought out a baby girl for me after hearing our purpose. I didn't think much of it at the time, and I didn't know that the family had another baby girl."
Uncle Ma glanced at Mingyin as he spoke.
“Just a month ago, Mingyin’s biological parents came to her door and described her physical characteristics. They said that Mingyin had a triangular birthmark on her arm.”
Mingyin paused for a moment, then subconsciously touched the birthmark on her arm again.
"This birthmark isn't a private area; anyone can see it. That couple probably just saw it by accident. They thought I was the eldest daughter of the Ming family and wanted to extort money from me, so they came to me. You actually believe that?"
“Miss Mingyin, I did think that way too, but you believed it and even encouraged them to kill Miss Chu for you. And you were afraid that I would hear about it and tell others, so you tried every means to kill me.”
Uncle Ma spoke calmly.
“Why would I kill you? You’re overthinking it. Besides, even if I weren’t the eldest daughter of the Ming family, I’m someone you’ve raised since I was a child. I would never harm you,” Ming Yin quickly said.
"Yes, that's what I thought too, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious. You'd do anything to kill me. Pushing me down the stairs was bad enough, but you even went to the hospital to try and humiliate me. Luckily, I survived and dashed your hopes, otherwise no one would know your true identity."
"I don't care if you're the eldest daughter of the Ming family or not, all I need to know is where Lanlan is."
Gu Ye interrupted them and reached out again to grab Ming Yin's neck.
"Ye... Gu Ye, do you really want to kill me?" Ming Yin's face flushed red as she spoke with difficulty.
"Do you want to give it a try?" Gu Ye asked coldly.
Mingyin saw murderous intent in his expression.
"I really don't know, Gu Ye. Even if you kill me, it won't make a difference," Ming Yin said in anguish.
Gu Ye could not see any falsehood in her eyes.
Perhaps she really didn't know Lanlan's whereabouts.
Thinking this, Gu Ye let go of Ming Yin's hand and released her.
"Grandpa Ming, this is your family matter, I won't interfere. All I want now is to find my wife, so I'll take my leave."
Gu Ye prepared to leave.
"Gu Ye, if you have any news about Miss Chu, notify me immediately," Old Master Ming said hurriedly. He couldn't figure out whether Ming Yin or Miss Chu was his real granddaughter.
However, based on his understanding of Uncle Ma and his observation of Ming Yin, it was highly likely that Miss Chu was Ming Hao's biological daughter. But Ming Yin stubbornly denied it, and he couldn't be 100% sure. So now he could only hope that Chu Xinglan was alright.
Mingyin watched Gu Ye leave in a hurry, secretly pleased. Fortunately, her two adoptive parents still had some conscience and didn't tell her about their plan. Otherwise, with Gu Ye's meticulous mind, he would definitely have seen through their scheme.
Hmph, it would be best if her parents could really kill Chu Xinglan, then everything she has now would still be hers, and Gu Ye... would be hers sooner or later.
Grandpa Ming and Uncle Ma exchanged glances. They didn't know what Ming Yin was thinking, but it was definitely not a good thing.
