Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

"You say." After hearing Nadel say this, Shanlai immediately became serious, afraid of missing what she said.

"I have already found out about Huo Ting. Come over later and I will talk to you about it."

"Sister is almost exhausted because of you. If you know what's good for you, come here and let me tell you in detail." Before Shanlai could say anything else, Nadel on the other end of the phone hung up. Shanlai put down the phone in a daze, and looked at Lei on the other side in a daze.

"Is it Nadel?" Lei asked her after taking a sip of porridge.

Shan Lai nodded, "Well, how did you know?"

"I guessed it from the tone of your voice." Lei didn't hesitate and said it directly.

She nodded in agreement. That's right, only when she was talking to Nadel on the phone did she act like a lackey who did odd jobs for others. Bah, what lackey? She was just a maid who was always available at any time.

"Oh~" Shanlai nodded in agreement. Not bad, this kind of observation is quite meticulous.

After they finished breakfast, Lei put on a bitter face when he knew Shanlai was going to Nadel's place. They had agreed to pick osmanthus flowers together and make osmanthus cakes together today, but who knew that she would suddenly have something to do. Alas!

Although he felt a little regretful that she couldn't make pastries with him, he still obediently sent her to Nadel.

This time, since Kassell was coming for a few days, Nadel booked a hotel here early. Because his stay was too short, when Nadel came back with Shanlai, he lived with her in her house. There was no need for the two siblings to buy a house in Country K.

When Lei was sending Shanlai to the hotel, he happened to run into Kassell who was coming downstairs. Kassell smiled at him in a friendly manner and pointed in the direction of the elevator, "If you have nothing to do, go up and sit down."

Lei shook his head. "No, thank you for your kindness. I have some things to deal with over there, so I won't go up for now."

Since he had things to do, Kassell did not try to persuade him to stay. "Alai, Nadel is still sleeping upstairs. Go find her. I just happen to have something to go out for a while."

"Okay." After saying goodbye to Lei, Shanlai took the elevator to find Nadel.

Kassell and Lei walked out of the hotel lobby together. Lei hesitated for a moment before asking: "Kassell, is there anything I can help you with? Maybe I can help you." He asked sincerely.

After thinking for a while, Kassell tilted his head and smiled, "It's not a big deal. It's just that the matter with Huo Ting is not over yet. My people just sent me an email, and I'm just about to go over to take a look." As he said this, he shook the car keys in his hand.

Lei took a closer look and found that the key looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"This is Ale's car. After Nadel went back to Country K with you, he has been throwing tantrums at her and drives her car out for a ride whenever he wants. Today I had to go out for some work, so she gave me the keys." Kassell seemed to have sensed Lei's doubts and was afraid that he might misunderstand something, so he explained it to him.

Lei just smiled and said nothing. He knew that the reason Kassell explained was that he didn't want any misunderstanding between him and the kitten. He suddenly remembered what his mother said, "Kassell is a child with a sense of propriety." It seemed to be true now.

Kassell is very attentive when it comes to anything related to the kitten, and he knows how to find the right balance; he never makes others feel embarrassed or uncomfortable.

"By the way, I asked Mei Zuo to check it out. I'm going to his house later. Anyway, we all know about Huo Ting's situation, so why not go there together." Kassell added.

"Okay, then let's go back together." Lei readily agreed. Of course, the two of them could go to the American writer's house together, and it wouldn't affect anything.

The final result was that the two of them drove their own cars to the American writer's home.

Shanlai rang the doorbell of Nadel's room, and within a few seconds she opened the door, saw that it was her, and pulled her in.

"Oh my God, you're finally here." He said as he pulled her inside and threw his phone on the sofa.

"Sit down." He pulled her to sit on the sofa and began to tell her about Huo Ting's thing. "I'm telling you, I asked someone to investigate. Huo Ting's biological mother has a mental illness!"

"And it's a very serious one."

"His mother's name is Piaoxue. She was my uncle Huo Guangwei's first love, and she was also the one whose family was killed by my grandmother. I don't know how they got together later, but Piaoxue gave birth to Huo Ting."

"What's even more outrageous is that my uncle actually wants him to be the heir to the Huo family." Nadel expressed his utter incomprehension. How could a illegitimate child be qualified to be the heir?

In their circle, those of the second or nth generation will more or less have several half-brothers or half-sisters, but they never worry that those illegitimate sons or daughters without official status will come to compete for everything they have.

The main reason is that their mother's family has a strong background, and their parents' generation originally got married for the purpose of making additional profits. In addition, they are motivated, capable and have the means to bring maximum benefits to the family. Which family would let an illegitimate child stand in front of the public? Isn't that a slap in the face of the legal wife?

Fortunately, her aunt passed away early. If she were still alive, Huo Ting would not have survived with her arrogant personality, let alone becoming the heir of the Huo family.

To put it bluntly, Huo Ting just got lucky. He has to thank Huo Cheng's mother for passing away early, otherwise this would not have been his turn.

Shan Lai was stunned. "Mental illness?"

"Then Huo Ting should have some involvement. After all, he is Piaoxue's direct blood relative."

"No, from this we can see that your uncle truly loves his first love. He even allowed the illegitimate child between them to marry into the Huo family and become the heir." Shan Lai also looked incredulous.

When she knew that Huo Ting was an illegitimate child, she didn't think it was a big deal. Now she was really surprised to hear that Huo Ting was mentally ill. She really didn't expect it. How charming must Piaoxue be to make Huo Guangwei make this decision that goes against his ancestors.

A mentally ill heir not only made others laugh at him, but also ruined the family's future in his hands. Huo Guangwei was willing to play with the fate of his family for his illegitimate son. It was truly a big deal.
