Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 2089 - 2093: I Guessed It

Even if Ho Yumeng comes from an ordinary background, with the Gu Family as her backing, it could be considered a compensation, and she could barely be a match for Fang Yao, right?

"That’s not what I mean," Gu Junzhu chuckled softly, "I’m saying Ho Yumeng’s background is indeed a match for Ah Yao from the start."

"Is that so?" Qiao Zui sat up with interest, "What is Ho Yumeng’s background? I don’t recall any prominent family in Beijing with the surname Ho, or is it that her family, like the Qiao Family and Brother Yao’s Fang Family, is a local notable family?"

"There is indeed no prominent family in Beijing with the surname Ho, but originally her last name wasn’t Ho, it was Lin," Gu Junzhu said, "She had a falling out with her family, and after leaving home, she changed her surname to Ho."

Ye Xingbei was surprised, "She ran away from home?"

"Yes," Gu Junzhu smiled, "Our family’s fifty-year contract isn’t given to just anyone. Before signing, Gu Qi and his team will thoroughly investigate the person’s background. Before signing with Ho Yumeng, Gu Qi found out that her real name was Lin Yumeng, and she’s actually Senior Master Lin’s granddaughter, though her father is the least favored of the Lin Family, the second brother."

Qiao Zui asked, "Lin Zhenchao’s granddaughter?"

Gu Junzhu nodded, "Yes."

"Wow," Qiao Zui exclaimed, "Ho Yumeng is actually Senior Master Lin’s granddaughter—what a surprise! If Ho Yumeng really is Senior Master Lin’s granddaughter, then Brother Yao and Ho Yumeng are indeed well-matched."

Senior Master Lin is also a person of high rank. Although his position is not as high as Senior Master Xie and Senior Master Xiang, and certainly not as high as my grandfather’s, he is still outstanding in Beijing.

The Lin Family... can barely be considered a first-class family in Beijing.

Yes, they can just barely hold onto the title.

Having said that, Ho Yumeng’s background is indeed a match for Fang Yao.

Qiao Zui asked, "Uncle, why did you leave home all those years ago? Such a good family, how could she bear to do that?"

"Because of her grandfather," Gu Junzhu said, "According to the investigation, since childhood, Ho Yumeng was raised by her maternal grandparents..."

Qiao Zui interrupted, "Is her grandfather’s surname Ho?"

Gu Junzhu nodded, "Yes."

Ye Xingbei curiously asked Qiao Zui, "Ah Zui, how did you know? Do you know Mengmeng’s grandpa?"

Qiao Zui gave her a bright smile, "I don’t know him, I just guessed."

Ye Xingbei: "..."

Gu Junzhu laughed and ruffled her hair, then continued, "Senior Master Lin has three sons. The eldest and the third are doing quite well now. It’s Ho Yumeng’s father who’s the least favored, the second brother."

"But this is a matter for the Ho Family," Ye Xingbei asked, "What does it have to do with Mengmeng’s grandfather?"

Gu Junzhu said, "Because even though Lin the Second is unfavored, he is very filial, devoted to his parents, and so is Ho Yumeng’s mother. They obey Senior Master Lin and Senior Madame Lin without question."

"Ho Yumeng was raised by her maternal grandparents, and she has a close relationship with them. When her grandfather was critically ill in the hospital, Lin the Third’s son was having a full moon celebration and insisted that Lin the Second’s family attend. "Ho Yumeng didn’t want her mother to attend because her grandfather was on his deathbed, and he could depart from this world at any time. She hoped her mother would stay by her grandfather’s side, to see him off in his last moments."

"Mengmeng did the right thing!" Ye Xingbei said, "When your biological father is about to pass away, of course, as a daughter and son-in-law, you should stay by the bedside. At such a time, who has the mind to attend a full moon banquet?"
