Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic One - A Sober Fall

Seeing Tu Mi's hesitant expression, Tu Fu frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Have you done something wrong?"

Tu Mi felt that Tu Fu definitely knew more than him, so she decided to ask Tu Fu anyway.

“Father, I haven’t done anything wrong. I just want to ask you about the Yue family.”

"The Yue family? Why is Xiao Mi asking about the Yue family?" Tu Fu looked at Tu Mi with curiosity in his eyes.

Tu Mi looked back at Tu Fu, then placed her hands on the desk and lowered her voice: "Father, don't you want to join the ranks of the four great families or be on par with them?"

Tu Fu stared at Tu Mi for a long time, so long that Tu Mi thought Tu Fu was indulging in wishful thinking.

Then, Tu Mi saw Tu Fu smile broadly, revealing the faint crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

Tu Fu laughed twice, then patted Tu Mi on the shoulder, "He truly is my son."

Tu Mi was secretly delighted, knowing that Tu Fu shared the same thought.

"What do you want to know?"

Tu Mi followed up with, "The Yue family, Yue Wuque."

"Did you find something?"

Tu Mi told Tu Fu about her discovery in detail.

Tu Fu frowned: "You mean there's something fishy about Yue Wuque's disappearance? We've had our suspicions, but the Yue family has sent people to search desperately, yet they've found nothing."

Tu Mi voiced her guess, "What if the Yue family intends to keep Yue Wuque from appearing in front of everyone for the time being?"

"In other words, Yue Wuque's disappearance was just a pretext; in reality, it was a deliberate scheme orchestrated by the Yue family."

Tu Fu stared intently at the document in front of him, his hand unconsciously tapping the table. If the Yue family was doing this, what was their purpose?

Tu Mi carefully recalled the original novel: Feng Jia smiled and said to Yue Wuque, "Wuque, how come you look better and better after you went missing?"

If it's just an illness, the Yue family has no reason to hide anyone, etc.

Tu Mi felt that his thinking had been flawed from the start. He deduced from the coincidence of Yue Wuque's return and Yue Shuiying's appearance in the original text that the Yue family was hiding someone. Therefore, the Yue family hadn't been hiding anyone from the beginning. Instead, Yue Wuque was seriously ill and needed something unattainable for treatment. This thing happened to be in the hands of the other three major families, who were hostile to the Yue family. So, the Yue family hid someone, spreading the news of Yue Wuque's disappearance to secretly obtain the necessary items from the other three families. Then, Yue Wuque's condition improved, and the Yue family arranged for Yue Shuiying to attend Alice Academy...

Tu Mi told Tu Fu all of this, including the emotional entanglements between Yue Shuiying, Yue Wuque, and Jin Se.

Some things cannot be accomplished by Tu Mi alone; she needs the support of Tu Fu or her family to accomplish them. The two are interconnected and mutually reinforcing.

When Tu Mi heard about the emotional entanglements of Yue Wuque and the others, she remained calm, as if she had experienced such emotional storms.

Tu Fu took a sip of tea. "According to what you've said, the logic does make sense. But, Xiaomi, how did you know that? And your tone was so certain."

Tu Mi remained calm. "The biggest breakthrough that gave me this idea was Yue Shuiying, that commoner freshman who also shares the surname Yue and looks somewhat similar to Yue Wuque. That's enough to arouse suspicion."

"Moreover, since the start of the semester, I have been almost always in the student council, and I have seen Jin Se San take Yue Shui Ying's stand-in many times. Gradually, Feng Jia and Ye Tian Zhu were also involved."

With the genuine product gone, the counterfeit continues to maintain the fish's affection for the genuine product. Although the affection is not strong, it is better than nothing. Besides, isn't this also an excuse for the Yue family to attack the other three family heads?

However, these measures are not without their drawbacks for the Yue family. For example, families that are pessimistic about the competition among the four great families will make decisions after Yue Wuque's disappearance, such as reducing their interactions with the Yue family and increasing their interactions with the other three great families. However, these losses are far less than the resources, manpower and material resources consumed in cultivating an heir for the Yue family.

Tu Fu didn't hold back his praise: "Xiao Mi, you did a great job. Your mother will be very happy to see this."

At this point, both father and son fell silent.

Finally, Tu Fu broke the quiet, frozen atmosphere, speaking: "The current head of the Yue family, Yue Sui, is one..."

Tu Fu paused for a moment, "A seemingly flawless and perfect person, namely Yue Wuque's biological father. As for Yue Wuque's mother, it is said that she died of illness. Although the Yue family is a large family in the outside world, some people may have forgotten that several branches of the Yue family had a so-called madness decades ago, but it was only a temporary phenomenon. Overnight, all those who had been mad disappeared."

Tu Mi tentatively asked, "Father, are you saying that Yue Wuque has that madness, but..."

"No, I mean the Yue family's madness is hereditary, and Yue Sui has it too."

Tu Mi stared blankly at Tu Fu, but quickly caught a glimpse of something deeper in his eyes.

"Father said that Yue Wuque's mother... is suspicious." Tu Mi lowered her voice.

Tu Fu smiled and continued, "Yue Wuque's mother, Lan Zhi, came from the Lan family, which was one of the four great families a long, long time ago. However, with the changing times, it eventually declined and is now like our Tu family. But when you were very young, the Tu family and the Lan family had been secretly in contact."

Tu Mi looked at Tu Fu in surprise. Tu Fu remained as gentle and composed as ever, seemingly unaware of the profound impact her words had had on Tu Mi.

It's certain, Tu Fu had his eye on the four great families a long time ago.

"You should spend more time playing with Lan Yin from the Lan family when you have time. Little Mi, you're at the age where you like to play and make friends."

Tu Mi met Tu Fu's eyes and immediately understood.

Tu Mi left the study with an empty teacup in her hand.

............

Lan-Yin-

Tu Mi was holding a cell phone, a different kind of cell phone from the one at school; this cell phone had a lot of information on it...

The Lan family is now a family similar to the Tu family, and there must be someone from the Lan family in the student council.

Tu Mi looked at the message on her phone and exclaimed, "Hey, what a coincidence! Lan Yin is also in the student council secretary's office."

Scroll down further, and you'll find that Lan Yin was in the same year as Yue Wuque and worked with him, making him Yue Wuque's right-hand man.

Upon seeing this, Tu Mi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

014 asked anxiously, "Host, is this novel a sweet love story?"

Tu Mi affirmed, "Yes, that's right."

Fleeting emotions may be unreliable, but self-interest is very steadfast.
