Chapter 1541 Ou Pengfei Wants to Become a Disciple

After Gu Weiwei disappeared, grandfather sent people to look for her, but it was during the Anti-Japanese War, lives were like grass, naturally not easy to find. The search lasted for over twenty years, but she was never found.

Everyone in the Ou Family was worried that if someone confirmed Ou Xue had died, then half of the Gu Family’s fortune would be taken away, no longer belonging to the Ou Family. The worst part was they feared someone might use this share to interfere with the Qu Group!

Just as the Ou Family was on tenterhooks, the mainland began various mass movements, and someone sent a telegram investigating whether there was a Hai Xue in the Ou Family, which led the Ou Family to discover that Gu Weiwei’s daughter Ou Xue was still living in the mainland.

But at that time, the situation in the mainland was tense, and no one from the Ou Family dared to find her, postponing until the mainland’s reform and opening up before sending people to look for her.

In truth, everyone’s feelings were very complicated because grandfather was already over seventy years old and in poor health, and once he died, fifty percent of the Ou Family’s shares would be taken away.

If Ou Xue were found, then fifty percent of the Ou Family’s shares would have to be returned to her, but not finding her, once the Old Sir Ou passed away, those shares would likewise be taken by others.

Rather than having an outsider take them, it seemed better to find her back, perhaps those shares could still return to the Ou Family.

After Ou Pengfei heard this secret from his second uncle, he understood that many people in the Ou Family were probably not welcoming the elder aunt’s return.

The human psyche is peculiar, sometimes they’d rather donate to charity than have a stranger relative come back and take away what’s theirs. Even though it actually doesn’t belong to them.

It’s not that they’re so selfless, but there’s discontent about Ou Xue coming back to claim the inheritance. Why should she, Ou Xue, who made no contribution to the family, enjoy half of the family assets?

"Just because you listened to what your second uncle said, you wouldn’t be enthusiastic about finding your elder aunt?" Mengyu mercilessly pierced through Ou Pengfei’s psychology.

Ou Pengfei’s face reddened a bit: "I’m just dividing the work with my sister, that’s all." Once he said this, he immediately felt he indeed thought and acted this way.

"The family sent us siblings to the mainland not only to find the elder aunt but also to open up the mainland market. So, I am responsible for opening the mainland market, and my sister is responsible for finding the elder aunt, that’s all."

Truthfully, Ou Pengfei hadn’t done anything wrong. He was just dividing duties with his sister. Even knowing that his sister, a child brought up in Xiangjiang, would have a very hard time finding someone in the mainland, apart from turning to the local government, she almost had no resources.

However, he neither participated nor prevented his sister from doing what she needed to do.

Moreover, this person found would take away half of the Ou Family’s legacy.

Yet, he gritted his teeth and apologized to Mengyu: "I’m sorry, I indeed felt emotions I shouldn’t have, not actively helping in finding the elder aunt. If the elder aunt can be found, the credit would be all my sister’s. But, in the future, I’ll do my utmost to help the elder aunt gain a foothold, and reclaim what she deserves. And in the future, I will definitely look up to my future sister-in-law."

Mengyu’s eyes slightly flickered: So, he wants to ally with me.

But isn’t he afraid the Ou Family would scold him for not being understanding and for siding against his own family?

Seemingly sensing Mengyu’s thoughts, he helplessly admitted: "Future sister-in-law, you are capable, I hope you will accept me as a disciple!"

After saying that, he looked hopefully at Mengyu.

He wanted to become a disciple!

However, this person’s gaze was straightforward and he seemed upright, even though he was a businessman, he didn’t have the air of the marketplace. Accepting him as a disciple wasn’t impossible.

Furthermore, the Ou Family was the mother-in-law’s maiden family; if someone from the Ou Family could be cultivated, it would indeed benefit the mother-in-law.

She pondered and asked: "What do you want to learn from me?"
