My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 319 So Strange
"Xiao Han, you can't say that. In this world, which girl doesn't love money? Besides, you don't look rich no matter how you look at it. It's rare for such an outstanding girl to have a good impression of you. This opportunity is rare, you have to seize it!"

Well, he was despised by his second uncle, Li Han's face was full of black lines. Suddenly he realized that his life after becoming rich was no different from before. His relatives didn't even know that he had become rich.

However, he did not plan to tell anyone else. It was not because he wanted to make a fortune in silence, but because people who study history understand human nature too well.

Aren't so many family ties corrupted and destroyed by money? And he doesn't intend to use wealth to test family ties.

Besides, this money does not entirely belong to him. It is all the funds for the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty.

"Uncle, let's not talk about this for now. I have something important to ask you first."

If he let his second uncle continue talking, he would end up talking like his second aunt did. Li Han quickly changed the subject, not giving his second uncle any chance.

"Uncle, do you know what my parents do specifically?"

After Li Han asked the question, he clearly felt that the person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment. Perhaps the question was too sudden and his second uncle didn't know how to answer for a moment.

After a while, a voice came from the other end of the phone, "Your parents are just dealing in antiques, aren't you the one who knows it best? By the way, why are you asking this?"

"Uncle, I thought our Li family didn't inherit this business, and none of you are in this business, so why is it that my dad is dealing in antiques?"

Li Han calmly made up a lie, "Actually, I need some cash to make ends meet recently, so I wanted to find out if my parents have any other businesses in the antique business?"

"Based on the weirdness of my brother and sister-in-law, they don't look like people who are dedicated to their careers. Xiaohan, do you think they might have businesses somewhere else?"

The second uncle on the other end of the phone couldn't help laughing, but he became serious again after a while, "Xiao Han, what's wrong with you? Is business not going well? Your second uncle and I have saved some private money, why don't you use it for emergencies first."

Hearing this, Li Han felt warm in his heart. To some extent, his second uncle and second aunt were more like his parents. When he was in school, his second uncle and second aunt basically took care of everything for him, both in study and in life.

My second uncle, like my second aunt, also works in a public sector company and has a decent income, but he basically gives it all to my second aunt.

"Come on, second uncle, you are not afraid of being heard by my aunt when you say this at home. It is not easy for you to save that little private money. You have to look at my aunt's face to draw a 20-yuan Xuanhemen. I don't have much to do here, so don't worry about it."

After he finished speaking, Li Han seemed to hear a sigh of relief from the other end of the phone, and then the voice of his second uncle was heard.

"Okay then, Xiao Han, but if you have anything to say, you have to talk to your second uncle. Don't be polite to him!"

Li Han almost laughed out loud. This second uncle was playing tricks on him. He was obviously reluctant to spend that little bit of private money, but he pretended to be generous. However, Li Han knew that if he really asked for it, his second uncle would still give him money.

"Xiao Han, why don't you come to my house now while the girl is still here? Why don't you just have dinner at my house tonight? It will be a good opportunity to cultivate a relationship with the girl."

"No thanks, I don't know her well. Bye."

"Xiao Han, please give Second Uncle some face. Besides, you are not a child anymore..."

"My dear second uncle, this woman is not a good person, so you better stop interfering. If you continue, I will tell my aunt about your hidden money!"

"Okay, okay, Uncle won't say anything, but you mustn't tell your aunt!"

After saying goodbye to his second uncle, Li Han quickly hung up the phone. He didn't want to have any relationship with Chen Wanting. Just kidding, it's best to stay as far away as possible from the innate female saint. Although he didn't get any useful information from his second uncle, Li Han keenly felt that his second uncle definitely knew something, but he just didn't want to tell him.

It seems that I have to find a way to pry something out of his mouth. Otherwise, how about threatening him with his private money?

This is too much. I, Old Li, always have a bottom line when doing things. We have to think of other ways.

Then Li Han called other uncles and even his grandparents, but the information he got was almost the same: his parents were just dealing in antiques, nothing special.

However, Li Han did get something different out of his aunt, which was that both his father and mother were students at Nanjing University, and both were majoring in history.

In the 1990s, the policy of converting departments into colleges had not yet been implemented, so his parents were both in the history department.

Although both were in the history department, one specialized in Ming history while the other majored in archaeology. What Li Han did not expect was that it was his mother who studied archaeology while it was his father who studied Ming history.

What a coincidence! That precious mailbox leads to the Ming Dynasty!

Suddenly, Li Han shuddered. He realized in an instant that he knew very little about his parents. He even felt unfamiliar with them. He didn't even know whether his parents had attended college or not.

These old couple were really strict in keeping the secret of their own son!
Especially for my mother, because since I can remember, I have hardly seen other relatives on my mother's side except my grandparents.

What uncle? What aunt? I have no impression of them at all.

No, are the parents who have lived with me for at least eighteen years so mysterious?

That email address should have some connection with my parents. Perhaps I should go back to my alma mater and find out more about my parents.

But after so many years, the teachers who taught the old couple back then should have retired, and it is even a question whether they are still in this world.

Li Han thought about it and suddenly had an idea. Nanjing University must have kept the files of all previous students, and would regularly hold alumni reunions for each class, so there would be contact information left behind. The teachers might not be able to find it, but their classmates should still be alive, right?

Thinking of this, he stopped on his way to the warehouse and decided to go to his alma mater to inquire first.

Maybe Old Zhu has replied to me, but Your Majesty, you have to wait this time. As the saying goes, Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, parents, and teachers come first. This time, I have to put my parents first.

When the time comes, I, Old Li, will give Your Majesty a big gift as an apology.

I looked at the time, it was exactly eleven o'clock in the morning. If I rushed there now and had lunch near the school, I would be able to catch the work in the afternoon.

I picked up the phone and called Li Momo.

"Hey, big sister, can you help me arrange a car? I need a McLaren for something. No need to be so exaggerated, just an ordinary family car. No, in your eyes, U8 and G-Class are family cars?"

After hanging up the phone, Li Momo said that it would be arranged within ten minutes because there was a car at the store opposite, which was very convenient.

Li Han is not an extravagant person, but driving himself is more convenient than taking an online taxi or bus. Maybe he really should buy a car for transportation.
