Uncle Zhen arrived at the island when Feng Yi was sleeping. His brother and sister had been here a few days ago. He himself had planned to come here tomorrow, but when he heard that the housekeeper and Feng Yi were coming, he changed his schedule and came here early.
After looking at the tombstone, he went straight to the housekeeper's residence.
Before meeting Feng Yi, he had developed several probing plans, wanting to see what kind of person this cousin he had never met was.
However, after meeting Feng Yi in person, he abandoned his previous plan.
He didn't know why, but Feng Yi gave him the feeling that he was very much like his mother. Although they looked and had different personalities, he just had an indescribable sense of familiarity.
His mother had passed away less than two years earlier, and he missed her terribly. When he first saw Feng Yi, who inexplicably looked a bit like his old mother, some real emotion appeared on his face.
But people are different after all, and they don't understand each other. In an instant, several thoughts ran through this cousin Zhen's mind.
"Are you guys getting ready to go out?" asked Uncle Zhen.
"Well, the scenery on the island is nice, I plan to take a walk around it." Feng Yi replied.
Uncle Zhen glanced at the butler and realized that the butler wanted to take Feng Yi out to visit the island.
The smile on his face deepened, and Uncle Zhen said, "As for sightseeing, there is no need to trouble the housekeeper. Alas, the housekeeper is old, and the old man should not work too hard. It's hot and windy recently, so you should rest more."
The butler looked at him.
Uncle Zhen ignored the butler's gaze, walked over and enthusiastically put his arm around Feng Yi's shoulders, "Come on, let me take you around the island. This place had some minor changes last year, so the butler is not familiar with it."
He held Feng Yi and walked out.
Feng Yi glanced at the butler.
The butler smiled and nodded.
As he was walking out, Uncle Zhen turned around and smiled, and said to the housekeeper, "We just brought in some fresh fruits. Ask them to bring them over later."
Feng Yi didn't know why his cousin Zhen was suddenly so enthusiastic. It must be more than just the reason of "he looks like my mother", but he didn't sense any negative emotional information from him.
It can be seen from the housekeeper's attitude just now that these two people don't get along well, but Uncle Zhen is not dangerous.
Feng Yi had learned from the housekeeper before that the aunt's secret had not been told to her children.
It is also a kind of protection for them. It is not good to know too much.
Regardless of whether it is the children themselves who develop inappropriate thoughts, or others who develop inappropriate thoughts after learning the secret from them, it is unlikely to have a good result.
Therefore, Uncle Zhen was not aware of the biggest secret.
Feng Yi followed his uncle Zhen along the forest path.
I was in a hurry when I came here and didn't have the mood to pay too much attention to the surrounding environment.
The sea breeze blows through the woods, bringing the scent of sea water and tropical plants.
Under the blue sky, the tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the city slows down the pace of life.
Uncle Zhen gestured to the bodyguards behind him, asking them to keep a distance and not to follow.
Uncle Zhen looked as if he thought, "You seem friendly and we like each other, so I want to talk to you more."
"I haven't seen the housekeeper for a long time since my mother passed away. Today, he is still in good health, and the wrinkles on his face have faded a bit. It can be seen that he has lived a good life in the past year." Uncle Zhen looked at Feng Yi, "Is he good to you?"
"Very good." Feng Yi said.
Uncle Zhen smiled and seemed to find Feng Yi’s answer very interesting.
"My mother has a bad relationship with your grandfather, and we have never had any contact with the Feng family in Yangcheng. I didn't expect that the housekeeper would leave our house and go to you. Have you seen my mother before? Or do you know the housekeeper?" Uncle Zhen was curious.
"No. I saw that the butler was also confused at that time." Feng Yi said.
He didn't believe that this cousin hadn't investigated his affairs. His great aunt had left him property, so these children must investigate.
Sure enough, Uncle Zhen still believed Feng Yi's answer more often.
Of course they had checked Feng Yi and analyzed the reasons why the housekeeper went to Feng Yi after leaving.
He felt that the most likely scenario was that his mother had found an "adopted grandson" for the housekeeper.
After all, the butler is old and has no other relatives around him, so it makes sense to find a younger person to accompany him in his old age.
Moreover, Feng Yi had left the Feng family in Yangcheng and had no other relatives around him. He looked more like her, so the housekeeper was more accepting of him and it comforted her heart.
When his mother passed away, the housekeeper's grief was no less than that of his own children. It was truly a genuine feeling.
As for the small portion of property that his mother left to Feng Yi, they didn't care much about it. They were mostly just curious at the time.
They all have their own careers and are doing well, and behind all these careers is her support.
My mother said a long time ago about the division of inheritance: "You will take what I give."
If you give it to me, accept it. If you don’t give it to me, don’t force it.
That is her property. She can give it to whoever she wants. As her children, we respect her decision.
Uncle Zhen recalled his previous speculations about Feng Yi.
It has to be said that Feng Yi's life experience gave them misleading information.
Also, the butler is rich, so he won't continue playing his "butler role-playing game" for money.
They mistakenly thought that the housekeeper had a crush on Feng Yi, or that their mother had deliberately found spiritual comfort for the housekeeper.
"Butler is a very strange and complicated person. I still haven't figured him out." Uncle Zhen said, "He has changed many names. No one knows what his original name was. Later, we just called him 'Butler'."
Uncle Zhen laughed again, "I suspect that the butler uses a pseudonym to make money, and changes pseudonyms frequently because he is afraid of being targeted. He is an investment genius! The wealth accumulated over decades is an amount that others cannot imagine. Can you understand how rich he is?"
Feng Yi nodded, "I am deeply touched!"
Uncle Zhen continued, “I also suspect that he has some unknown hobbies!
"He is so rich that the annual salary of a butler may not be as much as what he earns in a day. For him, being a butler is more like a role-playing game, and he is addicted to it.
“If you say he likes playing the role of butler, it’s not like he’s like that to everyone, he’s extremely picky!
"Being a butler must have other intentions! Have you ever asked?"
"I asked." Feng Yi said.
Uncle Zhen perked up, "What did he say?"
"He said it was a life pursuit."
"… "
Uncle Zhen looked like, "Really? I don't believe it!"
"It's too hard to understand. If you find the answer one day, please tell me!"
Feng Yi said seriously: "Yes!"
That's impossible, your mother didn't tell you.
Seeing Feng Yi being so obedient, Uncle Zhen was very satisfied.
"When the housekeeper was still in our house, his attitude towards me and my siblings was only slightly better than that of ordinary people. But he was really good to you! He was almost as good as my mother."
Uncle Zhen glanced at Feng Yi's face again, "If I didn't know that you were indeed your grandfather's grandson, I would definitely suspect that you were the child of one of my brothers who was living away from home... or one of my siblings."
It was precisely because he knew that Feng Yi was more distantly related to them by blood that Uncle Zhen became more curious.
Even though he had guessed it, he still asked:
"Why did the housekeeper abandon us and choose you? Or, if we have never met before, why did my mother leave you the property?"
"I asked this the first time I met the butler." Feng Yi said.
Uncle Zhen became even more interested and looked at Feng Yi expectantly: "Why?"
"She said I was pleasing to the eye."
"… "
Uncle Zhen looked at Feng Yi's face and saw no sign of perfunctory. After a while, he said dryly, "Ah, indeed."
After a moment's silence, no longer dwelling on this question, Uncle Zhen held Feng Yi in his arms and continued to walk forward, looking caring for the younger generation, and then went on to talk about the housekeeper.
"The butler has been in our family for many years and his status is very special. My parents treat the butler more like a relative without blood relationship."
Uncle Zhen could see from his parents’ attitude how much they trusted the housekeeper.
At first he always suspected that the butler had some hidden thoughts and was plotting something bad!
Until now, he still felt that the butler had hidden intentions, but he had eliminated the possibility of him plotting something bad.
The housekeeper is not short of money and does not flatter them. In their house, the housekeeper only cares about the mistress.
Before Uncle Zhen came of age, if my parents didn't have time, the housekeeper would help take care of many things.
He was familiar with the butler, but not close.
When his brothers and sisters were born, this housekeeper did not exist yet, or he had already appeared but was not trusted enough.
By the time he was born, the butler was already regarded as the "most loyal minister" of his family in the eyes of outsiders, and his position had been firmly secured.
There are many secrets that they, as children, are not aware of, but the housekeeper is able to participate in them.
"I once suspected that he was interested in my mother!" Uncle Zhen said as if complaining.
Everyone in the family knew that he had doubts about the housekeeper.
Since he was a child, he has tested the housekeeper many times because of this suspicion.
Because of this, when the butler spoke the same words to him, they always sounded sarcastic.
Feng Yi listened to his uncle Zhen's seemingly complaining words without saying anything.
He couldn't talk about the things between the elders, nor did he understand them. He just listened in silence.
Uncle Zhen quickly glanced around, then leaned closer and lowered his voice, as if to say, "I want to tell you a big secret."
"It is said that when your great-aunt gave birth to me, the housekeeper outside the delivery room was more nervous than my own father!"
Feng Yi: “…” He pricked up his ears.
"Don't disbelieve me, my brothers and sisters were all there at the time. My eldest brother was already in high school at that time, and he told me all this himself!"
His suspicions about the butler were not without basis.
"When I was carried out, he was the first one to rush over to look at me. Then, he showed an extremely disappointed expression! His facial expression was completely out of control. He looked like 'disappointment max plus'!"
As he listened to his brother's account of what happened that day, he inevitably had misleading thoughts.
You can see the shadow of his biological father and mother in his appearance. In fact, you can see some of it when he is just born.
"My appearance is a combination of my parents' characteristics. Who else can I look like if not my biological parents? What is the housekeeper disappointed about?!"
Feng Yi: “…”
Is it possible that the butler rushed over so eagerly just to see if you have a tail and fangs
