Dating My Scumbag Ex's Uncle

Chapter 553: Family Feud

Translator: Lonelytree

I suddenly recalled those words in my dream. My parents had a discussion and wanted me to be an ordinary person. My uncle didn’t agree. He wanted to use me to exchange for more wealth and power for the Tong Family.

“What method did they use to make me lose my memory?” I asked softly.

Mr. Li shook his head. “Because of the Phoenix Blood, the Tong family has connections with witch doctors all over the world. The Phoenix Blood isn’t passed down from generation to generation. In other words, there’s no rhyme and reason to it.

“However, there is a pattern to the Tong Family’s hereditary disease. It will surface every two generations.

“For the illness and the Pheonix Blood, they can appear in anyone within the generation. Sometimes, they might even be inside the same person.

“In this generation, the Phoenix Blood is with Nanxing, who is only half of the Tong Family. This should be a giant blessing. However, Tong Hui had that mess with Ma Ji’s tribe and actually came up with the idea to use the Phoenix Blood to fight for greater benefit. Such is human nature. The source of all sin is greed.”

Jing Tian didn’t understand. “What do you mean?” He asked on my behalf

Mr. Li rolled his eyes at him. “It’s all for the sake of more money! It was said that the Phoenix Blood could make people live forever. In the past, the Tong Family had been using the Phoenix Blood to cure the sick. However, when it was Tong Hui’s turn to lead the family, he didn’t want to continue the charity anymore. Instead, he wanted to use the blood to develop the medicine of immortality to obtain more benefits. Eventually, he’d be consumed by his greed. It’s because of this that he had tortured Nanxing so.”

“What exactly happened to the Tong Family?” I asked. I felt that there was a chain of reactions. Things might appear unrelated, but there was a thread connecting them.

Mr. Li shook his head. “I’m not sure. I reckon that it has something to do with Ma Ji and your Phoenix Blood. The Tong Family has risen and fallen because of the Phoenix Blood.”

I suddenly thought of something. “Wait, you said that the Tong Family members will suffer from a genetic disease?”

Mr. Li nodded. “Yes, it is a blood disease. I heard that within the Tong family, the members with the sickness and the members with Phoenix Blood have always been irreconcilable because the sick people feel that the people with Phoenix Blood have taken advantage of them.

“Therefore, when there’s a generation where both illness and Phoenix Blood coexist, that will be when the internal strife at the Tong Family will be at its peak. However, something went wrong when it came to your generation. Based on the timeline, it should be your mother’s generation who had the Phoenix Blood and your generation who had the illness. But things had reversed. In any case, you shouldn’t bother about these things. Things have already reached this state. You’re a lucky woman. You managed to survive after an encounter with that bitch. You should appreciate being alive!”

I suddenly asked, “Do I have a cousin?”

Mr. Li was stunned for a moment before he shook his head. “I don’t know.”

“Yes,” Jing Tian continued. “You have two cousins. One is Tong Zhuo, the son of your first Uncle Tong Hui, and the other is Tong Mo, the son of your second Uncle Tong Zhan. However, both of them died when the Tong family was destroyed.”

“Are you sure?”I asked.

Jing Tian nodded. “Yes! Tong Le personally confirmed this. He has suffered all these years. You were the only motivation for him to survive and struggle. During the first two years after the tragedy, he could only fall asleep with sleeping pills. He couldn’t sleep at all. As soon as he closed his eyes, he would see the corpses of his family members. It was truly a surprise that he didn’t go crazy.”

I looked at Jing Tian.

Since Tong Hui didn’t die, what about the others? Would the other members of the Tong family...

“I want to see my little uncle!” I looked at Jing Tian.
