The dining table in Brooke's house is very long, and it's a bit crowded when everyone sits together.Fulla, as the orphan of Daniel who was just brought back, was placed first on Deng Wen’s left. Opposite her was her 36-year-old grandma—Jessica. The ages are sorted, and Sherlock, as a guest, sits next to Fulla.

Dinner was lamb chops with some mashed potatoes, and for dessert trifle with treacle and some puddings.Maybe it was because of Fulla and Sherlock, everyone didn't know what to say, so they all had to work hard.

The first person to break the embarrassment was Joanna, she turned sideways across Sherlock and asked Fulla, "Is the dinner okay?"

Fulla quickly swallowed the mashed potatoes in her mouth: "Very good, thank you very much for your hospitality."

Joanna smiled: "This is your own home, so there's no way to talk about hospitality. Fulla, hasn't your mother mentioned Daniel to you all these years?"

Deng Wen placed the cutlery heavily on the plate: "Joanna!"

Eugene, who was sitting next to Jessica, raised his head: "Joanna, just after our eldest brother passed away, do you doubt the identity of our eldest niece?" He tilted his mouth: "Our father recognized her personally. , is there still something wrong?"

Joanna smiled slightly: "I don't have any doubts, I'm just curious. After all, it's been more than 20 years. Why haven't I heard that my eldest brother has an illegitimate daughter before? When he died, people popped up?"

Deng Wen was anxious: "Joanna, watch your words! Daniel is your big brother!"

"It is precisely because Daniel is my eldest brother that I am saying these things!" Joanna stood up, and everyone looked at her: "I heard that Mr. Crouch brought Fulla back, so may I ask, are you How did you find her?"

Sherlock picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth unhurriedly, and said: "Actually, before Mr. Daniel Brook was alive, he had been asking me to help him find Miss Fulla. They met in Wen County when they lived together for a while, but they broke up after Mr. Brooke left Devon County. Unfortunately, Miss Fulla's mother died of illness a year ago, and she only told Brooke before she died. The existence of Ms. Fulla."

Joanna asked: "I knew it a year ago, why did she come back now?"

Sherlock kicked Fulla lightly with her toes, and Fulla understood immediately. She raised her head and looked at the relatives who stretched their heads to watch: "After my mother told me about this, I have never been able to accept that I am actually a Because of the illegitimate daughter, I rejected Mr. Brook—that is, my father, and returned to live in London. Only this time, I heard from Mr. Crouch that my father and his family all left because of an accident.” Said At this point, she couldn't help sobbing: "I've only met my father once, and I'm still very indifferent to him. If I had known, I would have gone back with him!"

Deng Wen patted Fulla on the shoulder and stared at Joanna: "I have the paternity test of Fulla and Daniel here, and I have shown it to you before. What are you doubting!"

Jessica, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "This paternity test was given to you directly by Mr. Crouch, right?"

Deng Wen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Jessica said with a smile: "Maybe everyone doubts the authenticity of this paternity test. After all, it was not done in front of us. Who knows if it was faked."

Joanna also smiled: "It turned out that Mr. Crouch brought the paternity test, so I have to wonder if these two people are colluding liars to defraud my elder brother's share of property!"

Eugene has been watching the farce in front of him with a smile on his face. The third brother Francis sitting below him is worried when he hears Joanna say this: "Third sister, the visitor is a guest, it is not good for you to say that .”

Joanna smiled: "It's not good for me to say that? I just went to ask them to eat, and I saw them hugging each other on the bed! Lawyers and orphans? My father is old and was fooled by you. How many brothers and sisters are we?" Not a fool!"

Following Joanna's words, everyone said "ah" and looked up at Sherlock and Fulla.Fulla was also shocked: "Don't talk nonsense! We didn't!"

At this time, Eugene's young wife Meili said: "Although Mr. Crouch is more than ten years older than Fulla, think about it. Fulla has no father since she was a child, and I am afraid that she will be more inclined to the elderly in terms of mate selection." man. If they are together, it is not very strange."

Francis sneered: "Do you think everyone is like you? Marry a man who is almost 20 years older than you, and your stepson will be as old as you!"

Mei Li was not convinced: "What do you say I am! What about my father, our stepmother is 40 years younger than my father!"

"Enough!" Deng Wen slapped the table angrily: "There are still outsiders here! I'm not dead yet! What are you arguing about!"

Jessica quickly stood up to support her husband, patted his back and breathed: "Actually, Joanna's worry is not unreasonable, after all, without us witnessing the whole process of the paternity test, Daniel just left, if this is true His only orphan, we will definitely not treat her badly." She looked at everyone: "How about this, although there is no way to do the paternity test of Daniel and Fulla now, but we can do the paternity test of Fulla and our family again. When the time comes, we will participate in the whole process, so no one will become suspicious."

Fulla went straight back to her room after dinner. This family was so ridiculous, it was like an eight o'clock TV show.She pouted, opened the closet, took out a change of clothes, and walked into the bathroom.

Jessica prepared these clothes for her. Fulla didn't pay attention before taking a bath. After taking a bath, she picked them up and saw three black lines hanging on her forehead. She grabbed a pajamas and went into the bathroom. Unexpectedly, What was caught was not pajamas, but a short nightgown.

Fulla put the nightgown on her body casually, the black satin fabric was snugly attached to her body, the hem just dropped to her thighs, her unhealed right hand was wrapping around the front of the dress, her left hand was holding her wet hair, and she was kicking and kicking in slippers. Stepping out of the bathroom.

"My god, I was shocked!" Fulla saw a man sitting in front of the desk as soon as she went out, and she almost kicked the slippers out: "Sherlock! How did you get in here!"

Sherlock glanced back at Fulla, pretending to look away casually: "I knocked on the door, but you didn't respond."

Fulla found a belt from the closet and tied it around her waist: "I'm taking a shower! You have to come in and talk about something, can't you make a phone call?"

Sherlock frowned: "I hate talking on the phone."

Fulla picked up the comb and combed her hair in front of the mirror: "Don't you know that you can't enter a girl's room so casually? Fortunately, I came out with clothes on, otherwise it would be a big loss!"

Sherlock turned his head: "83, 60, 85."

Fulla turned her head suspiciously: "What?"

"Your measurements." Sherlock said indifferently: "With all due respect, compared to your height of 167, your bust and hips are obviously smaller."

Fulla stopped combing her hair, and she glanced at Sherlock suspiciously: "How many girlfriends have you had before?"

Sherlock said indifferently: "I don't have such a thing, useless feelings will affect my thinking."

Fulla had a shocked face: "You've never been in a relationship before? With all due respect, you should be 35 this year, right?" She approached lewdly and asked, "Could you still be a virgin~"

As soon as she came closer, the collar was a little untied, and Sherlock turned his head away: "Just now at the dining table, did you notice anything?"

Seeing Sherlock change the subject forcefully, Fulla curled her lips a little bored: "What do you see? Everyone thinks I'm here to fight for property? Are you going to kill me in the blood test?"

"Dengwen Brooke and I can solve the blood test for you, so don't worry." Sherlock waved his hand: "Apart from these, what else did you see?"

Fulla continued to comb her hair: "I think that the third child, Francis, doesn't seem to have a good relationship with his family. Grandpa Deng Wen said that he hates himself. I think he not only hates his father, but also doesn't like it. Those brothers and sisters."

Sherlock nodded: "What else?"

Fulla carefully recalled: "There should be that Mei Li, she is so much younger than her husband, and she doesn't seem to respect her stepmother Jessica very much, she dares to sarcasm in front of Grandpa Deng Wen at the dinner table She." She said, "Oh, no, in the study, I remember Grandpa Deng Wen said that Eugene still respects Jessica, why does his wife dare to talk like that?"

Sherlock didn't comment, but looked at Fulla, motioning for her to continue talking.

Fulla blinked, tilting her head at Sherlock.

"What else?" Sherlock asked.

Fulla spread her hands: "Nope!"

Sherlock picked up a pen and twirled it in his hand: "Have your muscles grown into your brain? Can't you see that Jessica and Eugene are lovers!"

"Ah! I knew it!" Fulla clenched her right fist into her left hand: "Things that my young stepmother and I have to talk about! This kind of theme will appear in almost every rich family plot!"

The corners of Sherlock's mouth twitched a little. He looked at Fulla's fuzzy expression, and didn't want to speculate on the tofu dregs in her mind at this moment: "At the dinner table, although Eugene and Jessica didn't say a word, but Whenever Joanna makes things difficult for you, they will make eye contact. When Jessica eats, her body leans slightly to the top, and occasionally there will be some shaking in her shoulders. This is because her right leg is under the table. Standing on his left leg, he was teasing Eugene sitting on his left from time to time. When Qiao Naan doubted you, everyone stopped eating, but only Eugene put his hand under the table and raised his arm The arc is about 30 degrees. This is because his hand was on Jessica's leg next to him, so when Old Brook stood up and got angry, Jessica flicked her hand under the table when she stood up to support him. Because Eugene's hand's still on her lap."

Fulla opened her mouth slightly when she heard that, she hesitated a bit, and asked, "Eugene's wife, Mei Li, is obviously young and beautiful, why does he still have a fling with his stepmother who is almost 40 years old?"

Sherlock said disdainfully: "Mature women naturally have the charm that young girls don't have. In addition, Jessica is his stepmother in name, and there is a hint of taboo mixed in it. Eugene, an ignorant flirt Young master, how could you let such a woman go!"

Fulla scratched her hair and climbed onto the bed: "Sir, what kind of woman do you like? Young and lively? Or mature and charming?"

Sherlock glanced at Fulla. The girl didn't know whether it was by accident or on purpose. She turned her back to him, knelt on the bed, raised her hands high, trying to shake off the blanket, and the short nightgown barely covered her. Buttocks, with the shaking of her hands, the little piece of light fabric swayed up and down.

After Fulla shook the blanket away, she got into the quilt, and then Sherlock continued: "Eugene had a son Sean by accident at the age of 19, but he never raised him well. Today at the dinner table, Xiao En En never said a word, and only showed a mocking expression when Meili spoke. Meili was the same age as Sean, and she wore a wedding ring on her left ring finger and a silver ring on her right middle finger. The pattern above is a split of the University of Leicester emblem pattern, and Sean graduated from this school, so the two of them may have been classmates."

"I know! In fact, Mei Li and Sean are lovers! But because Eugene saw Mei Li, he coveted her young and beautiful, so he took his son's girlfriend forcibly! Sean often saw his original girlfriend become a stepmother, but he didn't There is no way to change all this, so he can only talk to his stepmother when the night is dark and the wind is high!"

Sherlock almost applauded Fulla's brain circuit: "I didn't expect your analytical ability to be so... um, powerful?"

Fulla hugged a pillow, giggled: "It's not me, it's always played like this in TV dramas."

Sherlock stood up, walked to the TV in front of Fulla's bed, and fiddled with it a little: "Go to bed early, I'm going back to my room."

"Eh? Isn't it finished yet?" Fulla straightened up: "Aren't we going to talk today? Are you going back now?"

Sherlock rolled his eyes with his back to Fulla, said "good night", and strode out of Fulla's room.

This person is really, come and go as you want!Fulla grimaced at the door and took the remote from the bedside table.This room is really nice, the TV screen is facing the bed, so you can lie down and watch TV!She happily pressed the power button, but there was no response?She kicked off the quilt and ran out of bed, bent over to study the TV: "How do you turn it on?" Feeling and feeling, she pulled out a broken wire from the back of the TV.

Fulla grabbed the half of the apparently severed wire and took a deep breath.Sherlock!It must be him!Secretly broke his own TV!This brat!
