Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space
Chapter 259:
Hard to Speak
Murong Zong nodded, "Yes, Grandpa He."
Zeng Guihua's face changed suddenly. She stood up abruptly, looking stunned, and exclaimed, "Father, you're too heartless. The child in my belly is your grandson!"
"Grandson?" He Wenyi sneered, "He Tangli and I have no blood relation! Seriously, this is the illegitimate grandson of that flirtatious woman. I've raised He Tangli and his sister out of kindness. Considering what He Tangli did to me, even if I sever ties with him now, it's only human nature! Raising his son again, am I supposed to raise another wolf to harm me? I won't do such foolish things again!"

Zeng Guihua pursed her lips. Who told you to raise him in the first place? She could only say, "Constables won't listen to you."
"If you know they won't listen to me, why bother with so much nonsense!"
Zeng Guihua stomped her foot but reluctantly left.
Most people fear constables. She, especially, was afraid he would invite constables.
After they left, He Wenyi looked at Murong Lingran and her brother, "I apologize for you witnessing that."
Murong Lingran shook her head, "It's our fault for coming at the wrong time."
He Wenyi didn't want to dwell on these troublesome matters. He turned and instructed, "Shitou, bring out the account book for your sister Lingran to see."
After saying that, he asked the siblings to wait in the hall while he went back to the bedroom to take out the recent income.
Shitou nodded and quickly handed the account book to Murong Lingran, then exited the hall sensibly.
Murong Lingran carefully flipped through it, secretly nodding at the decent profits.
He Wenyi also placed a box in front of her. "This is the income earned from using your blueprints during this period."
Murong Lingran opened and looked inside. Since she had already seen the account book, she wasn't surprised to see the box full of silver. In front of everyone, she took out thirty-five taels of silver and put them into her bag, then closed the box and pushed it back in front of He Wenyi.
He Wenyi reminded her, "You took too little. We agreed on a forty-sixty split."
Murong Lingran explained slowly, "Shitou and the other kids have caused you quite a bit of trouble here. Thanks to Grandpa He looking after them during this time, consider it me covering part of their food expenses."
He Wenyi looked at the five busy children in the courtyard and understood her intention. He knew her family ran a vegetable-selling business and was doing well. The five taels wouldn't hurt her, so he didn't refuse.
"Well, thank you on behalf of them. But if we talk about who is taking care of whom, it's more like they are taking care of me. Without them, I wouldn't have earned so much. I'll be more free someday… I will reward them well."
Murong Lingran nodded and took out the latest design drawings.
He Wenyi took it and looked at it, and praised: "Yes, these styles are no worse than last time, but girl, you are really good at designing."
Murong Lingran smiled naively and said, "This is really not all my design."
“But you, girl, are too modest.”
Murong Lingran: "..."
How should she explain it?
Murong Zong smiled helplessly when he saw that his sister was speechless.
Murong Lingran sighed silently, that's all, she couldn't explain it clearly anyway, so just let them misunderstand it.
The three of them talked about some things about the children's lives, but not wanting to delay Grandpa He's progress, Murong Lingran quickly said goodbye.
