Rachel's face was as red as a ripe apple. As soon as she lowered her head, she shyly turned her face
away. "Why should I guess?"
Amanda became more excited. "My brother is just worried about you. Can't you see that?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Rachel patted her on the back to stop her from making a fuss.
Amanda laughed even more happily, "ha ha, you are shy!"
Walking ahead, Clark ignored the beating and laughing of the two little women behind him.
Mr. Peter was sitting in the living room. When he saw Rachel, he smiled warmly and said, "you finally
come to see me, Rachel."
Rachel sat down in front of him and said calmly, "I heard that Grandpa Peter wanted to play chess with
me?"
"Yes," Mr. Peter nodded. "I haven't played chess with anyone for a long time. I'm itching to play chess
with you. If you don't come again, I'm going to directly move the chessboard to your crew to look for
you."
Surprised, Rachel looked at him and then smiled, her face flushed. "Grandpa Peter, I'm so sorry that I
can't come."
Mr. Peter had already prepared the chessboard and even placed it on the table.
"Okay, let's talk while playing chess." Mr. Peter said with a smile.
Amanda went to prepare the fruits. Sitting next to Clark, she watched Rachel playing chess with Mr.
Peter leisurely.
Peter said that he wanted to play chess with her, but in fact, he was more like inquiring about military
information.
"Rachel, you just came out of the Jiang clan." Peter asked indifferently.
Rachel answered "Yes."
"What's the result?" Peter pretended not to care about it.
"The situation is not good." Rachel answered casually.
The relationship between the two people was more like that between grandson and grandpa.
Clark sat aside, his face as dark as a piece of charcoal.
"Oh? It seems that the Jiang clan doesn't know treasures. " Peter thought for a while and concluded.
Rachel didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. "Grandpa, you flatter me too much. The Jiang family is
talking about a marriage before, so it's just that I intervened them."
Amanda came out of the kitchen with fruits in her hands. She found that her brother's face was as cold
as ice, but in fact, he had already pricked up his ears to listen.
"What?" Peter repeated the word playfully, and then shook his head. "No one would say such words to
themselves. Is it that the son of Jiang clan is chasing after you and unwilling to let you go?"
Rachel blushed and felt embarrassed to continue the topic. She quickly changed the subject, "don't talk
about me like that. Grandpa, how are you recently?"
"I'm an old man. Half of my body has been buried in the soil. What's wrong with it? The only thing I
worry about is the happiness of my offspring. " Peter sighed.
Well, it came back again.
Rachel thought to herself, 'maybe I shouldn't have come to the Ji family.'.
Amanda put down the fruit plate and took a look at her brother. He was still expressionless, unable to
tell how he was feeling.
"Grandpa," said Amanda, "don't worry about my brother. He is so stubborn that he insists on getting
entangled with that woman outside. Let's just leave him alone. If you really care about Rachel, you can
just take her as your sworn granddaughter, open your relationship with her, and find her a good
husband. "
Mr. Peter's eyes twinkled. "That's a good idea! Anyway, I have nothing to do every day. This time, I
have something serious to do. "
"I object," suddenly said Clark, who had been silent all the time. "Rachel can't be your granddaughter,
nor can she be godgranddaughter."
"Oh? Why? " Mr. Peter seemed to be in a good mood and turned to ask Clark.
Clark's eyes were as cold as water. He glanced at the delicate and unparalleled face of Rachel.
"Although her parents are no longer alive, it's not appropriate for our family to do so."
Mr. Peter frowned and said, "your words are not convincing. Rachel is alone and helpless now. For the
sake of Amanda and her, I want them to be closer. Why not?"
"Although Rachel doesn't have parents, Rachel has grandparents. Are they just furnishings?" Clark
asked indifferently.
Hearing this, Peter and Amanda were stunned.
Even Rachel was stunned. She didn't know what Clark meant.
She only knew that her biological parents had passed away. As for her grandparents, she had never
thought about them.
Did Clark find out where they were?
Thinking of this, Rachel looked at Clark suspiciously.
Clark seemed to see through her mind. He nodded slightly and said, "although you don't have parents,
you still have grandpa and grandma, uncle and aunt. My people accidentally found out their information
and knew that they wanted to recognize you. If you want to meet them, I can arrange it for you. "
"No," Rachel refused subconsciously, "I haven't decided yet."
It was a matter of her life, and Rachel hadn't been mentally prepared for such a big thing.
Mr. Peter threw away the chess piece in his hand and had no interest in playing it. He turned to look up
at Clark and asked, "what about her grandfather's family?"
Clark took out a folded document from his pocket and handed it to him. He said coldly, "tell her after
you read it!"
Mr. Peter quickly opened the file and looked at it. Then he was a little surprised, "Rachel is the
descendant of the Xu family? your grandfather, Joshua Xu, used to be a famous businessman, but for
some unknown reason, his family declined and gradually lost its reputation and disappeared in the
business world. "
"Joshua only has a son and a daughter. His son has been caught in a sweep of smuggling and died in
prison. His daughter, on the other hand, married a small business man and was from a rich family now.
In that case, Rachel's father only has a sister, not a brother. "
Mr. Peter continued to read, and then widened his eyes in surprise. "Rachel's mother is the daughter of
the Hong clan in the Gangnam province?"
Rachel frowned, "How is the Hong clan?"
Mr. Peter sighed, "in the past, the Hong clan was the most wealthy clan in the Gangnam, and no big
clan could contend with it. It's just that the Hong clan has suffered a lot. Because of the internal strife,
the Hong clan's power has been constantly split up. Now the Hong clan's strength is not as 1/10 of the
previous one. It can only be a normal clan in the Gangnam province. "
Rachel's mind was running fast. If her father was rich in the past and her mother was the daughter of
the Hong clan, why were they related to the Yan Clan and even framed by the Yan Family?
She couldn't figure it out.
Clark said indifferently, "so far, I have only found out so much. Both your family and your grandfather's
family are rich."
"In that case, why did they keep me in the Yan family?" Rachel frowned.
Since the two families were so powerful, why did she become an abandoned child and live a miserable
life in the Yan Family for more than twenty years?
Clark shook his head, "it's hard to say. We can't find it out for the time being."
Peter closed the file in his hand, shook his head and sighed, "Rachel, when you were a child,
something important happened to your parents, so that they both missed you. In this case, either they
thought you were gone, or they couldn't find you. "
"No matter what the truth is, if it makes you feel painful, then don't think about it anymore. Anyway, you
are living well now, aren't you?"
Rachel understood that Peter didn't want her to sink into more trouble and pain because of the truth.
She nodded silently.
Amanda looked at her sympathetically, and then glared at Clark unhappily. "Brother, why do you always
like to rub salt into her wounds?"
Clark was slightly surprised.
Amanda added unhappily, "you know what Rachel is afraid of most, but you choose that thing to say.
Are you intentional?"
