Dating My Scumbag Ex's Uncle

I suddenly thought of a question. This time, I asked Jing Tian, “Why do I feel like many people have flocked to M City recently? Around half of your brothers have arrived? Why?”

Jing Tian didn’t say anything but my little uncle tutted, “You still have the face to ask? If you didn’t create the mess on the darknet, do you think they will come here? I’ve tried my best to hide you at M City and wipe away all of your trace but you decided to show yourself anyway. And that Nan Feng, truly is a son of bitch. How can a person be so greedy? After taking my money, he should take good care of you. If you have grown up normally and have a normal marriage, then everything would have been fine, nothing like this would have happened!”

My little uncle gritted his teeth when he mentioned Nan Feng.

I was flummoxed. “Little uncle, I’m confused. You said that I’m the only descendant of the Tong Family and thus I have to bear the responsibility of the Tong Family but your initial plan was for me to have a normal life and a normal marriage? Isn’t that contradictory?”

My little uncle glared at me. “Yes, that was my initial plan. If you have led a normal life, then things would have been fine. But now that you have stirred up a storm, things have to be different. How is that contradictory?”

I was made even more confused. I turned to Jing Tian. He sighed, “Nanxing, for many generations, the Tong Family has more boys than girls. Therefore, the daughters of the Tong Family have always been the centres of attention. In the underworld, marrying a Tong Family daughter was equivalent to gaining entry into a powerful gang. It is the quickest and most convenient way to gain power. For example, if you marry Shi Feng, then the Shi Family and Tong Family will be united. You’ll share resources and both families’ wealth will triple. Furthermore, the daughters of Tong Family are always women of great ability. Before your mother, Tong Family hasn’t had daughter for 3 generations already. It was also why your mother was so prided on.”

Jing Tian explained.

“But my surname is Nan.” I pointed out the problem.

Jing Tian smiled. “The children of the Tong Family’s daughters will always be a part of the Tong family, that is the rule. Furthermore, your father wasn’t part of the underworld and your mother was the big sister of the Tong Family so naturally you are a member of the Tong Family.”

“So, it is all because of this Tong Family’s rule?” I asked timidly.

My little uncle sighed, “It’s more complicated than that. It has to do with your mother as well. When she was still alive, she has already made the announcement that you would inherit all of her asset and wealth.”

I was shocked, “Does this mean that my mother was very rich?”

My little uncle nodded. “Richer than you can possibly imagine.”

“So I was using my own money to feed myself all these years?”

My little uncle smacked me softly, “Of course not! I was the one supporting you all these years! Your inheritance can only be touched after you’re of legal age! That is why even though Nan Feng doesn’t like you, he has to keep you around. He wants to consume your wealth! Do you understand it now?”

I looked at Jing Tian in astonishment.

Jing Tian nodded. “Everyone in the underworld knows that you are your mother’s most precious treasure. There is a rumor that says that the man who marries you will be able to rule over the underworld. Your little uncle spent a great deal of effort to conceal your whereabouts so you would be spared from the underworld fights, however you have chosen to expose yourself instead, it was why he was so mad. On top of that, he didn’t expect Nan Feng to be so sinister. Other than scamming your uncle, Nan Feng has been coveting your mother’s wealth while allowing his family to bully you.”

I was shocked. So that was why I was married to Jing Ning in my previous life? I was kicked around after they had taken what they needed from me.

My little uncle saw my worried expression and he comforted, “Don’t worry, I’ll look after you now.”

I turned to him. “Little uncle, since I’m a member of the Tong Family, then the money my mother left for me should go to the Tong Family. I only need you to support my accommodation, food and study.”

My little uncle glared at me. “What nonsense, those money is your mother’s present for you! It is not considered a part of the Tong Family! And before you’re married, of course I’ll support you.” He glanced at Jing Tian, “If you don’t ever get married, then I will take care of you for life!”

I nodded. “Little uncle, I want people to marry me for me, not for my money. So I want to give it to the Tong Family!”

My little uncle’s eyes widened and Jing Tian laughed.

I looked at the two men. “What? You disagree? You’d prefer someone marry me for my wealth or marry me because he loves me? Little uncle, I’d rather you have the money. Find me an aunt, give birth to more children and use the money to raise them. If you ask me, that’s the best way to utilize those money!”
