Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Chapter 199 Ming Shunde tells stories

"You are so nervous, this matter must be related to the Ming family, then why did you tell me? Since you have decided to tell me, why bother to plead for your own people?" Meng Zhiling looked at Ming Shunde with disdain. She actually had an idea about this matter since she met Hua Jinsheng last time. The reason why she did not investigate further was because she was afraid of knowing the truth.

But now, what is Ming Shunde's purpose in telling me these things?

Meng Zhiling just couldn't believe that he had only just found out the truth about something that happened so long ago. This was totally not Ming Shunde's style, nor was it the style of a leader of the Huoshu organization.

"I'm not pleading for my own people. I just want to tell you some facts. I think you should have a rough idea in your mind, and at the same time, you should have sensed something a long time ago." Ming Shunde sighed lightly, and seemed a little embarrassed to speak.

Meng Zhiling stared at him closely, the uneasiness and unwillingness in her eyes made her too stubborn to ask.

But she couldn't help herself. "Just answer my questions. I don't want to listen to your stories. That would be too cruel to me."

"Okay." Ming Shunde nodded readily. He felt that this would be easier for him and not so cruel.

"Does Mingyi like Mingzhu?" When Meng Zhiling asked the question, she did not regard herself as the blood daughter of the former Meng Zhiling, Mingzhu, but just as a bystander. In that way, it would be easier for her to open her mouth and less likely to get too excited.

Ming Shunde was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting her to start with this question, but he finally nodded.

After Meng Zhiling got this exact answer, she smiled slightly, and then the next question was easily solved.

"So, did my father really die from drugs rather than a car accident?" Meng Zhiling asked calmly. She didn't completely believe Hua Jinsheng's guess, but she felt that his analysis made some sense.

Ming Shunde wasn't that surprised by this. He pondered for a few seconds, then said calmly, "No one can really explain this matter. Your father was indeed injected with a chronic drug, and there was indeed a car accident at the time. That car accident can be said to have accelerated your father's death. Otherwise, he could have lived for another year."

Meng Zhiling opened her mouth wide. After confirming this, she seemed to lack the courage to ask further.

"Ask any other questions you have. I'll try my best to answer what I know. I'll also try my best to tell you what I know about the things you didn't ask." Ming Shunde saw that she was about to give up halfway, so he gave her a minute to think and then said softly.

"Was it Mingzhu who injected him with the drug?" Meng Zhiling finally asked. In fact, the answer had already been in her mind, hadn't she asked now? In fact, she only wanted to hear a negative answer.

Because she really couldn't figure out why such a loving couple would be so cruel. Could it be that the story between Mingzhu and Qiu Ming was not so beautiful? There must be some details that were different from reality.

Seeing that she was staring at him, Ming Shunde had no choice but to nod. This was a long story, but since she asked, he had no choice but to tell her honestly.

"Why?" Meng Zhiling asked after getting the answer.

This has always been her doubt, but she has always denied in her heart that it is not Mingzhu, not Mingzhu, because she can't think of any reason.

"Did Mingzhu tell you how she met Qiu Ming? How did you come into being? And why did they elope?" This time, it was Ming Shunde who asked the questions, because he first wanted to make sure whether Meng Zhiling really knew the truth or had heard some distorted truth. Preconceived ideas might lead to limitations in her analysis of the problem.

Meng Zhiling frowned and shook her head. This was the truth. Mingzhu had never mentioned these things to her. She only told her the story of her mother, her grandmother, and seemed to have never mentioned her father.

The stories she knew were the ones Ming Yi had told her. Could it be that Ming Yi was really "telling stories" instead of telling the truth?

"In fact, the reason why your mother left the Ming family was not to elope with Qiu Ming, nor was it because I didn't want to give her a way to live, but because I asked her to leave at that time. You know, with my strength, even if Mingzhu hid at the ends of the earth, I would find her. But I didn't want to find her at all, because if she really stayed there, it would affect the reputation of the Ming family at that time, and it would also delay Mingyi's life." Ming Shunde sighed again. He knew that doing so was the most unfair to Mingzhu, but he never regretted this decision. After all, at that time, he could only make such a decision.

"So you selfishly choose to sacrifice Mingzhu's interests for the benefit of your son?" Meng Zhiling looked at Ming Shunde coldly. She knew that this matter might not be as simple as he said, but due to her personality, she just wanted to retort him.

"Yes, I admit that, and I don't want to make any excuses, but it's undeniable that my decision also liberated Mingzhu."

"Liberated? What does that mean?" Meng Zhiling asked back.

"What I mean is that I have finally gotten rid of Qiu Ming's entanglement and can finally accept Ming Yi's kindness to her sincerely." When Ming Shunde said this, there seemed to be a little anger in his eyes, and at the same time, a little helplessness.

No one wants such a shameful thing to happen in their family. He is the one who punishes everyone, and his heart will bleed.

"Can you explain it a little more clearly?" The more Meng Zhiling listened, the more complicated and entangled the matter seemed.

"You have to be mentally prepared. Now that things have come to this, there's no need to say half the truth or hide the other half." Ming Shunde looked firmly into Meng Zhiling's eyes, then lit the cigar in his hand. Before he even brought it to his lips, he anxiously extinguished it.

"Just tell me, I can accept it no matter how bad it is." Meng Zhiling said lightly, then leaned back on the sofa. Today, she came here to listen to Ming Shunde's stories.

"In fact, your mother and your father didn't love each other at all, they never had. It was always your father's wishful thinking. Your existence is actually the result of your father forcing Mingzhu. Back then, Mingzhu thought about not wanting you, but she kept putting it off until she could really feel your presence in her belly. Then she made the right decision, which was to keep you. But it was also from that time that she began to think about getting rid of your father."

"Then why did you wait for several years before taking action?" Meng Zhiling took advantage of Ming Shunde's pause to ask a very suspicious question.

"She didn't wait several years to act. In fact, she had already acted not long after you were born. However, she was very smart and didn't kill your father immediately. Instead, she tortured him to death slowly and gradually. Of course, Ming Yi must have helped her during this period."

"So, Mingzhu and Mingyi are really in love?" Meng Zhiling frowned. She still felt a little horrified and difficult to accept such a deformed relationship.

Ming Shunde nodded helplessly. "That happened a long time ago, long before Mingzhu and Qiu Ming, they had already developed feelings for each other. Without us adults knowing, so can you understand why Yumei's eyes towards Mingzhu are always so unfriendly?"

"Then, that car accident should have been planned by Ming Yi, right?" Although Meng Zhiling found it difficult to accept such a thing, she looked at it calmly without considering the delicate relationship between her and the Ming family. Soon, she found the clue of the matter.

However, when she thought her analysis was correct, Ming Shunde shook his head and directly denied her guess, "Actually, that's not the case. Ming Yi was not involved in this matter at all. In fact, Ming Yi didn't even know when Ming Zhu left. He only found out after your family was in trouble, so he moved Ming Zhu to a relatively safe place. As for you, I don't know why he was so cruel to abandon you."

Undoubtedly, Ming Shunde's words were even more effective than an epiphany. Meng Zhiling felt her mind go blank and completely stopped functioning. She had no idea how to react or answer.

"If it's not Ming Yi, then who is it?" Meng Zhiling finally asked the key question.

"Ming Shunqi, since you were not even born at that time, I said that I would pass all my property to my grandson or granddaughter. Many years later, Mingyu had no children, and Mingyi, haha, even if he had children, I would not dare to have them. As for the fourth and youngest, I had no hope. So he saw that my only grandson was you, so he wanted to take advantage of that opportunity to eliminate you in one fell swoop. After that incident, he often let Mingjian show up in front of me. Mingjian is a sweet-mouthed kid and knows how to please the elders. So, he was thinking, if my descendants have no descendants, then will my property be given to Mingjian." Ming Shunde said lightly, his tone full of helplessness.

Meng Zhiling thought about it. It seemed like this setup made sense, but why was the timing so coincidental? Didn't Ming Shunqi have a better opportunity to kill her? Ming Zhu's departure that day must have been secretly arranged by Ming Shunde. How did Ming Shunqi know about it?

It seems that there are still big loopholes in Ming Shunde's words.

"So you really treat Mingjian as your grandson?" Meng Zhiling raised her eyebrows, feeling that there might be a big problem here.

Ming Shunde didn't answer Meng Zhiling directly. Instead, he stood up, leaned against the window, looked at the moonlight outside, took a deep breath, and said after a long time: "I do treat Ming Jian as my own grandson. Besides, Ming Shunqi and I are twin brothers. His grandson is my grandson. But I have never thought of giving my family property to such an incompetent guy."
