“... Still, I didn’t dare to dwell on it. It’s only today, when you brought it up, that I faced it – faced the fact that your father’s company had likely swindled away by your second uncle.”

Hearing her mother say this made her feel desolate and enraged.

She felt aggrieved for her father; she felt enraged because of the injustice her dad had suffered.

“Mom, how couldn’t you have suspected them before?” She sniffled and choked out.

Her confrontational attitude made Zhang Manhua purse her lips helplessly. Thereafter, she sighed softly.

“Before, I thought that, since your father and I treated your second uncle’s family well, they would never repay kindness with ingratitude, so I repressed that bit of suspicion in my heart.”

As time passed, she slowly forgot that bit of suspicion. After all, no matter how foolish or bad a person could be, how could they be that terrible...

The anger and sorrow Pei Ge felt grew stronger as she listened to her mother.

“Mom, we can’t just let this go like that!”

Every time she thought of how the company her father had spent so much effort establishing was stolen away using such despicable means by someone, she would feel an unspeakable guilt and anger.

If her second uncle had not used such intolerable methods to steal her father’s company, she would not be this angry at least.

In fact, she would have been fine with leaving her father’s company to her second uncle to manage.

After all, she was young back then, and her mother was merely a housewife, so none of them could have managed that company.

In the end, her second uncle was still her father’s brother.

The company would surely have been passed on to him, but...

“Silly child, even if we don’t let it go, what else can we do? That incident was more than a decade...”

Zhang Manhua gave out a long sigh. Actually, how could she not blame herself?

If she had been a little more insistent on it and had been a little cleverer, she would not have been cheated by her deceased husband’s brother and her daughter would not have had to suffer so much all these years.

The most hateful thing was that she treated his family as their benefactors and always told her daughter to repay kindness in kind and never to disrespect that family...

“Mom, no matter how many years have passed, I will still get justice for my dad!”

Pei Ge narrowed her eyes. Having managed a company in Tianjin for some time, her aura was no longer what it was before.

Even her mother felt her intimidating aura and was taken aback by it.

Freezing for a while, she quickly moved to stop her daughter. “Ge Ge, don’t do anything silly!”

“Mom, don’t think too much about this. I won’t do anything silly, I only...” Her lips slowly moved into a cold smirk. “I won’t do anything against the law or harmful to people and will just use evidence to make second uncle kowtow and admit his wrongdoings in front of dad’s grave!”

This relieved her mother.

“Silly child, it’s been so long, so where will you find evidence? Even if you find evidence, your second uncle won’t admit to it. Forget it. Let’s just treat it as if we never have those relatives...”

Zhang Manhua sighed helplessly.

It had been over a decade since her husband died and Pei Zhenghui used improper methods to steal her husband’s company; at this point, the evidence would have long disappeared.

“No, mom. Actually, if we want to look for evidence, it’s actually quite easy.”

She smirked. Besides her father’s work notes, she could actually still find some other strong evidence from Chenguang Real Estate’s reference room.

As for human evidence...

The mother-daughter pair did not really enjoy their lunch because of this topic.

“Mom, I’ll be gone for a bit in the afternoon. Let’s go shopping tomorrow, instead.”

Once lunch was over, she put down her utensils and said that to her mother.

Zhang Manhua’s mood was still a little unsettled because of what had happened earlier.

“Okay...”

Seeing that her mother seemed to be blaming herself, she rested her hand lightly on hers.

“Mom, don’t think further into this. This isn’t your fault. If you must, just blame second uncle. He’s a terrible person.”

Her voice was affectionate and gentle when she said that.

Alas, it did not help alleviate her mother’s guilt and, instead, made it worse.

“Ge Ge, it’s all my fault. It’s my fault. If not for my foolishness, your dad’s company wouldn’t have been snatched away by your second uncle and you wouldn’t have suffered so much.”

Zhang Manhua could not stop blaming herself.

The more deeply she pondered, the surer she was that her stupidity had caused them her husband’s company.

“Mom, don’t think about this anymore. Everything happened fast and simultaneously back then. Second uncle also wanted to hide this fact, so it really had nothing to do with you.”

Pei Ge kept consoling her mother.

Although she did blame her mother for being too careless moments before, thinking about it for a while, she surmised that things had been too sudden and numerous back then.

Following her father’s death, she got into a car accident and was in a coma in the hospital.

All those circumstances were shouldered by her weak-minded mother. The fact that her mother did not follow her father to the grave was already a testament to her strength.

“Ge Ge, mom let you and your father down.” Zhang Manhua sighed softly, her voice filled with guilt.

“That’s the inheritance your dad left you... Mom let you down.”

“Mom, I’m not doing this for that inheritance... I simply want justice for my dad.”

Seek a disappointing justice.

In retrospect, her dad had treated her second uncle so well back then, yet her second uncle could actually be that black-hearted, lusting over her father’s company...

Moreover, not only did he steal her father’s company, he even... stole their house.

She could not swallow this down no matter what.

Once her mother was soothed, she did not delay at home and quickly headed to Chenguang.

For her father’s sake, she had to look for evidence.

As it was almost the New Year, all the Chenguang’s employees were already on holiday.

Currently, the company was devoid of people.

Luckily, some people were still on shift in such a huge company, so she still managed to enter the reference room.
