Doomsday group favorite: I will win with my three brothers
Chapter 293 Forbidden Unrequited Love
Zhao Lexi pursed her lips as she looked at her closest relatives: her grandfather's brothers, her second grandfather, and her third grandfather.
My father's younger brother, Zhao Chuilin.
Zhao Lanxin, the only daughter of my second grandfather.
The third grandfather had three sons: Zhao Chuifang, Zhao Chuihan, and his illegitimate son Zhao Liang.
Of these seven people, one must be the one who instigated the death of their parents.
The most likely candidate is Zhao Chuilin, who is about to inherit the position of clan leader.
But this uncle was raised by my father, could it really be him?
Zhao Lexi didn't know, so she could only place her hopes on Gao Jue.
She felt that the road to the ancestral hall was very, very long.
The succession ceremony has been simplified considerably. Soon, Zhao Chuilin received the scepter, symbolizing the power of the clan, from the current clan chief Zhao Hao, signifying the completion of the handover ceremony.
The person who led the Zhao clan forward changed from Zhao Hao to Zhao Chuilin.
Zhao Hao seemed much more relaxed in an instant, and laughed, "I'm getting old. I'll hand the family over to the younger generation and take a break from now on."
Second Grandfather and Third Grandfather laughed along: "Big Brother is getting old, what are we going to do?"
The atmosphere is enjoyable.
At this moment, Zhao Lexi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Uncle, can I find out who killed my mom and dad?"
Zhao Hao suddenly looked over and stopped her, saying, "Lele!"
But Zhao Chuilin said in a deep voice, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I will investigate."
"Chuilin, you..."
"Dad, you know I hate trouble the most. Being the clan leader is so troublesome. Haven't you ever wondered why I agreed to be the clan leader in the first place?"
Zhao Hao was stunned.
"You dare not investigate your brother's death, but I do."
Zhao Chuilin gripped the scepter tightly, faced the crowd, and carefully observed their expressions: "As you all know, my brother and sister-in-law died eight years ago in what appeared to be an accidental car accident."
Second Grandfather frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean by 'seemingly unexpected'? Is there something else going on?"
“Exactly! I always thought that the person who killed my brother was after the position of clan leader, so I fought and fought, waiting for that person to come after me so that I could catch him and avenge my brother.” Zhao Chuilin’s tone was filled with doubt. “But in the end, I didn’t find anyone deliberately targeting me or trying to kill me.” He gave up his freedom to get involved, but he didn’t get the storm he was supposed to face.
Grandpa San speculated, "Could it be that the eldest brother's car accident really was an accident?"
Zhao Chuilin remained silent, also doubting his own speculation. His intuition told him that this was not an accident, but the facts proved time and again that it might indeed be an accident.
Zhao Lexi looked at Gao Jue, who nodded slightly.
Following his gaze, Zhao Lexi's eyes fell on Zhao Lanxin, who had remained silent.
Zhao Lexi's pupils dilated instantly. How could it be her aunt?
Even though there was no conflict of interest between her and her parents, when she divorced and returned home, it was her father who, as the young clan leader, personally went to pick her up to support her.
The still Zhao Lanxin, serene and aloof, was like an oil painting, completely out of place here.
Gao Jue secretly slipped a note into Zhao Lexi's hand. Zhao Lexi stepped behind the others, opened it, read it, crumpled it in her palm, and then the paper powder was blown into the grass by a gentle breeze and disappeared.
Zhao Lexi calmed herself slightly, her internal energy surging, and looked at Zhao Lanxin with a firm gaze, raising her voice: "Auntie, what are you thinking about?"
Zhao Lanxin snapped out of her reverie, looked at Zhao Lexi, and smiled, "I was just feeling a little sentimental thinking about my elder brother and sister-in-law."
"Who does my aunt think killed my parents? My parents were such good people. How can the person who killed them sleep well at night after doing something so wrong? Does she have a clear conscience? Or does she simply have no heart at all!"
Zhao Lanxin was stunned for a moment, then quickly frowned and said, "Could it be that my elder brother and sister-in-law were really murdered? Who could be so cruel!"
"Yes, how could they be so heartless?" Zhao Lexi murmured to herself.
“I remember that my aunt got divorced because my uncle suspected her of having an affair. Is that true?”
Second Grandfather frowned: "Lele, you are very impolite."
"Who is the person your aunt likes? Would you mind telling her?"
Zhao Lanxin realized that Zhao Lexi was targeting her, and smiled tolerantly: "Lele, I know you're curious, but this is my private matter, and it's not convenient for me to talk about it."
"My aunt is my mother's best friend, right?"
"Yes, we are classmates and very good friends."
"But she betrayed you, fell in love with your sweetheart, and even dated and married him, right?"
Zhao Lanxin's expression changed drastically: "No, no, don't talk nonsense."
Everyone was completely confused. Lele's mother married Lanxin's sweetheart, and the person who married Lele's mother was Lele's father. So, Lanxin's sweetheart was Lele's father?
Zhao Lanxin's sweetheart is Lele's father!
Lele's father is outstanding enough to surpass all the scions of aristocratic families, but he is Lanxin's cousin, and the two are still within the fifth degree of kinship!
How could she like her own cousin!
Second Grandfather was stunned: "Lanxin? Lele is talking nonsense, isn't she!"
Zhao Lexi sneered, "It's best if you don't admit it. You never loved my father. How could siblings who grew up together develop romantic feelings for each other under normal circumstances? You must have a pathological possessiveness, something only a psychopath would have..."
"No one loves him more than me!" Zhao Lanxin's tone suddenly turned fierce, as if she had been provoked by something. Her gaze was clearly directed at Zhao Lexi, but it was as if she saw her enemy through her.
Zhao Lexi looks like her mother.
"Lanxin! Are you crazy! What nonsense are you talking about!" Second Grandfather roared.
"Don't yell at me! If you hadn't insisted on marrying my mother, how could I have become her brother? I should be her wife. She should be my wife, not that bitch!" Zhao Lanxin gradually became deranged. The Zhao family members silently moved to surround her.
"So, if you can't have it, you'll destroy it, is that it!" Even though Zhao Lexi was protected outside the encirclement, it still agitated her fragile nerves.
Zhao Lanxin's twisted feelings had been buried deep in her heart for a long time, and her mental state was already on the verge of collapse. At this moment, stimulated by Zhao Lexi's words, her emotions erupted like a volcano, and she simply blurted everything out without thinking.
She didn't think about the consequences of saying these words because she was used to being pampered and had never been punished.
“That person told me that he was ungrateful. I thought to myself, he really is ungrateful. I begged him so humbly, saying that I didn’t want anything, no title, no public appearance, just to be his secret lover. He’s so good to everyone, just be a little bit better to me, and I can be at his beck and call, just to ask for a little bit of his pity.”
"But he actually refused! Is he even a man? He wouldn't take a woman who was practically offered to him, yet he remained chaste for that slut. It's unbelievable..."
Zhao Lexi suddenly leaped up, over the crowd, slapped Zhao Lanxin across the face, and then retreated to her previous position. The whole sequence of movements was so smooth that no one could see her figure clearly. All they saw was Zhao Lanxin scream and fall to the ground with a bloody handprint on her face.
“A despicable person is shameless and doesn’t even realize it,” Zhao Lexi said coldly.
