chapter 16 stupid uncle

This was a rich and dramatic story.
Dylan Rei wasn't good at chatting. Sometimes he talked excitedly, sometimes he paused, and occasionally he spoke quickly or stammered.
The manager was good at communicating with people and summarizing things. In the end, he summarized two points.
"One, the lady of the Lei family in Chu City is not your real mother."
Dylan Rei angrily replied, "How could she be?"
The manager said, "But I've heard she often boasts about how good she is to you at parties and spoils you."
Dylan Rei retorted, "And she spoils me like this?"
The manager, "..."
"Two, you've known this all along and pretended to be a carefree rich kid?"
Dylan Rei pursed his lips and said, "Because I could feel that she didn't like me. I also knew she had a biological son waiting to come back."
The manager said, "...Your family, it's really..."
Dylan Rei replied, "Dramatic, isn't it?"
The young man wiped his eyes and said, "Actually, I secretly investigated, and my biological mother was deceived by a scoundrel!"
The manager summarized it again, "In fact, this is a story of a 'phoenix man.'"
[Note: "Phoenix man" refers to a man who is financially successful but has faced numerous hardships and challenges in his life, similar to a phoenix rising from the ashes.]
Dylan Rei's mother, surnamed Yang, was the only daughter in the Yang family. She married a man with high hopes that he would treat her daughter well and take over the Yang family's business in the future.
Things didn't go as planned. Yang's father passed away, and Dylan Rei's mother, being soft-spoken and gentle, handed over the family assets to Dylan Rei's father.
A few years later, Dylan Rei's mother gave birth to Dylan Rei. Six months later, she was kidnapped and disappeared while out for a walk.
That same year, Dylan Rei's father remarried, changed Dylan Rei's last name back to Lei, and dismissed all the servants.
The manager rubbed his arm and asked, "So, you thought that woman was your mother all along? Then, when you accidentally found out the truth, you pretended to go along with her wishes and secretly disguised yourself?"
Thinking about it, the couple from the Lei family were really ruthless.
Dylan Rei suddenly lowered his head and didn't say a word.
"Gulp, gulp!"
Lila Qin finished all her milk in one go, patted her round belly, and held her glass, looking at Dylan Rei with a sideways glance.
"Because he's been hiding something from us~"
The manager asked, "?"
"Manager, you're quite clueless. Can't you see it?" Qin Lele said.
The manager put on a forced smile and said, "Boss, you're very clever. Can you explain it to me?"
Qin Lele proudly squinted her eyes and swayed her short legs. "His wicked daddy has been deceiving him since he was little, and he even drove away everyone who knew the truth. How could he have found out so much on his own?"
The manager suddenly realized.
Dylan Rei turned pale and looked at Lila Qin as if begging for mercy.
"You haven't been telling the truth, and yet you hope Lila will help you find your mom. That's not nice, you know? Lila has my own temper~"
[Divine Calculation System: You've always had quite the personality.]
Lila Qin communicated with the system in her mind.
"Little System, are you scolding Lila?"
[Divine Calculation System: No, don't overthink it, and please don't go on strike.]
"Hmph, I'll spare you this time."
Dylan Rei hesitated but eventually told the truth, "Because I had a dream before, a dream about my grandpa. He told me."
The manager widened his eyes and instinctively took a few steps back, rubbing the goosebumps on his arms.
Lila Qin puffed up her cheeks and pointed her chubby finger at Dylan Rei. "You're not being honest!"
Dylan Rei immediately begged, "Actually, all I have to do is go to the old Lei family mansion, and I can see my grandfather there. It seems like he hasn't reincarnated."
The young man came to hug Lila Qin's leg and said, "Master Lila, my grandpa is a good man, I mean, a good ghost. He never did anything bad. Please don't kill him!"
"Lila won't easily exorcise ghosts!" Lila Qin said, fuming.
How strong could a little kid be?
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake off Dylan Rei.
"If you don't let go, I'll get angry!"
Dylan Rei quickly released his grip and obediently sat to the side.
The little kid jumped off the couch with an irritated huff and ran into the room.
After a while, she came running back, her face turned away, and she threw a folded triangular talisman into Dylan Rei's lap.
"What's this?" The moment Dylan Rei got the talisman, he couldn't help but yawn.
"It's a Soothing Talisman + Soul-Binding Talisman, Lila created it myself."
Lila Qin turned her head back rapidly and proudly introduced, "With this, you can sleep well without worrying about your soul being unstable. You've been in contact with your grandfather too much, and it's affecting you."
The young man lowered his head in embarrassment.
"I see, sometimes when I go to the old mansion to see my grandpa, he refuses to see me."
"Your grandpa is more sensible than you."
Lila Qin put her hands on her hips and lectured, "Your grandpa knows a lot of things. After you apologize, Lila will go find your grandpa first, and then find your mom. During this time, you have to be good, okay?"
The tall young man had shrunk into a ball. He nodded meekly.
"Go rest in that room!"
Lila Qin waved her chubby hand, and Dylan Rei immediately trotted into the room, looking like a wound-up toy.
Not long after, the room was filled with the sound of steady snoring.
Lila Qin nodded in satisfaction.
"Poof!"
Lila Qin suddenly turned her head, her big eyes spinning suspiciously as she looked at the manager.
"Uncle, were you just making fun of Lila?"
"No, no! Absolutely not!"
The manager frantically waved his hands, but inside, he was laughing hysterically.
That scene just now, the little kid with her hands on her hips, sternly lecturing the big man while one looked up and the other hung his head, was really funny.
The little kid squinted her eyes and carefully examined the manager's expression.
A few seconds later, in her soft, mellow voice, she said, "Uncle, there's a little doll sitting on your shoulder~"
"Ah!"
Ten minutes later, the manager, drenched in sweat, begged for forgiveness, "I was wrong, boss, I know I was wrong, I won't make fun of you anymore, please don't scare me!"
"Hmph!"
Lila Qin extended her chubby little finger and poked the manager's forehead.
It was soft and without any strength.
"Uncle, you're so silly. If you knew I was just trying to scare you, and there's no little doll on your shoulder, what were you afraid of?"
Manager, "..."
Lila Qin said, "It's been a long time, and Uncle is getting dumber~ Lila doesn't want to play with the silly uncle anymore. Lila wants to go to the amusement park~"
Two cars were parked outside the resort.
The leader had a deep scar at the corner of his eye, and he looked very fierce and not to be messed with.
He took out his phone and pulled up a photo.
In the photo, there was a four or five-year-old little girl with her hair tied up in a bun, chubby cheeks, and rosy lips. She was dressed like a Taoist priest and smiling at the camera.
"Tsk, what's the boss thinking? He actually wants me to bring so many people to find a little girl."
One of his subordinates jogged over and whispered, "The boss said not to harm this Lila Qin, and try not to alert others. It's best not to leave any clues."
"Tch," Scarface impatiently waved his hand. "I get it. I'll take a few people inside to scope it out, see which areas have no surveillance, and make our move. You guys focus on the backup."
"Where should we go first? This resort seems to have built an amusement park; let's check that out."
