Chapter 675: If Both of Us Kept Mum, Who Would Know?
The second page detailed the Rothschild family’s organization.
Rothschild was a big family, a huge family.
The history of Rothschild found on the doc.u.ment covered a period starting from the early 20th century.
In other words, this family had at least a hundred years of history!
But the former name of Northern Seas was Luo.
Later on, Mr. Rothschild changed his name because of Northern Seas, which was also known as N.S. eventually.
“Haha…” Li Beinian looked at the doc.u.ment and didn’t know what to say.
No wonder.
No wonder Mu Xichen had refused to tell her anything and refused to budge.
Who would believe such a thing?
Even Li Beinian couldn’t believe it!
In other words, Lin Ya coveted Rothschild’s a.s.sets?
Such a large family would have acc.u.mulated significant wealth over all that time!
Li Beinian seemed to have sorted out her thoughts.
However, she vaguely felt that something was amiss.
Was this her actual relative?
Such a family was probably no easier to get close to than the Li Family!
Li Beinian asked anxiously, “When did you start investigating these doc.u.ments?”
“Two months ago.” Mu Xichen quickly scanned through the information and continued, “These are all rather confidential information, but there’s a limit to what we can find.”
There was something deeper down there that the people outside did not know.
It took a long time to get this information together. Compared to many pieces of news, they had a very secretive existence.
The person closest to them was Mr. Rothschild. He was a half Chinese from Xia Nation, and had a close relations.h.i.+p with Xia Nation’s president.
They had had many late-night conversations and the man had even stayed in the presidential residence.
It was worth mentioning that the president of Xia Nation had the surname Bei.
In the entire five thousand years of Xia Nation’s history, there weren’t many people with the surname Bei.
Beiyun had a daughter called Bei Xiaonian.
Bei Xiaonian’s photo was printed on A4 paper. Although it didn’t look like much, Li Beinian recognized it. It was the person in her photo.
On the A4 paper, Bei Xiaonian was smiling like a flower. She was clinging on to Beiyun’s arm and smiling happily.
Li Beinian looked down and realized that Bei Xiaonian had suddenly contracted a serious infectious disease and was isolated in a small clinic.
As for Beiyun, she was worried about her daughter. Not being in the mood for national affairs, she quickly retired.
After she abdicated, she fell ill and died.
Rothschild, on the other hand, never came to Xia Nation again.
Li Beinian was stunned. “Surname Bei?”
“Back then, Grandpa was Her Excellency’s secretary, and retired along with her abdication.” Mu Xichen spoke slowly as he continued, “Coincidentally, not long after her abdication, both Her Excellency and Bei Xiaonian died. Around that time, you also appeared in the Li Family, it all happened openly. Later, you were ‘lost’ and sent to the orphanage. Following a few twists and turns, you ended up in the Chi Family.”
After a pause, Mu Xichen said, “Chi Dali used to be called Chi Qi. He held an important position in the Military Logistics Department. His craftsmans.h.i.+p is exceptional and he has very distinct personal characteristics.”
Li Beinian was stunned. “How did you know?”
After asking this, Li Beinian felt a little silly.
How did he know?
If the Mo family knew, he definitely knew.
Mu Xichen did not answer. Instead, he continued steadily, “Do you remember losing a ear stud?”
Li Beinian blinked. “I’ve lost too many earrings.”
“Ok.” Mu Xichen did not pursue this. He responded faintly and then fell silent.
She noticed that he seemed a little burdened.
She had never seen Mu Xichen this way.
She placed her hand on his and asked, “What are you thinking about?”
The man shook his head gently. “It’s nothing. Go to sleep.”
“I can’t sleep.” Li Beinian placed the pile of items on the bedside table and threw her arms around his neck. She said coquettishly, “This sort of messy matter has nothing to do with me. Since I’m Li Beinian, then I’m Li Beinian. I don’t believe in Rothschild. This has nothing to do with me. Beiyun and Bei Xiaonian have nothing to do with me either.”
“I suspect that they will come looking for you.” Mu Xichen laid down with his arms around her and looked a little solemn. “If they really come…”
“What has it got to do with me?” Li Beinian said seriously. “Why do I have to go with them just because they have money? What’s the use of having a lot of money? I can’t spend all that money. Besides, even without their money, can’t you afford to keep me?”
Her voice was soft and coquettish.
Li Beinian circled her arms around his neck and rubbed the tip of her nose against his.
Mu Xichen turned to face her and said softly, “Not only you, but also our children. I can give all of you a good life.”
“That’s right.” Li Beinian smiled. “If that’s the case, why do I have to inherit whatever it is? Besides, it might all just be your imagination. What if I’m actually Li Haoran’s child?”
Mu Xichen chuckled.
“But is there really such a powerful family in this world? It’s too awesome!” Li Beinian’s mind was already filled with images of a palace of ancient European style. “Do you think such an impressive family will also scheme and fight like an ancient emperor’s harem, or like an ancient emperor’s sons fighting for the throne?”
It had to be said that Li Beinian’s imagination seemed quite sensible.
There must be many people coveting such great a.s.sets.
Li Beinian’s heart ached and it made her even more determined – that should all these be real, she would never go back to them!
However, could it all just be a misunderstanding?
Mu Xichen wasn’t sure of it himself. If she hadn’t pestered him so relentlessly, he wouldn’t have breathed a word.
At this thought, Li Beinian looked at Mu Xichen and said, “Do you think Grandpa will tell me if I asked him directly?”
Mu Xichen replied, “No.”
“If that’s the case, then my G.o.dfather must know who my biological parents are. Will my G.o.dparents tell me if I asked them?”
“No.”
Li Beinian continued, “How would you know that?”
“Clues.” Mu Xichen tapped her nose. “If you want find out badly enough, you will always find the answer.”
“If there was an error, wouldn’t it be awkward?”
“Even so, only the both of us will know. If the both of us kept mum, who would know?”
“Does Gu Mingye know?”
“Uh huh.”
“He was the one who investigated?”
“Uh huh.”
Li Beinian nodded and looked down, seemingly deep in thought.
“Go to sleep,” Mu Xichen said softly. “There’s not much time left.”
Li Beinian immediately shut her eyes and snuggled into his embrace.
Mu Xichen, on the other hand, held her in his arms and could not sleep.
