Chapter 1193
Although he didn’t want to admit it, this was the world.
‘You’re kind, so you deserve to be bullied.’
Just like her in her previous life.
However, everyone had their own fate. Melody Fox believed that one day, Tong Qizhen would understand everything and be enlightened.
On this day, the truth about Tong Jiaxuan and Kua Rangliu collaborating to harm Elder Tong was revealed.
At that point, Tong Qizhen believed that Tong Jiaxuan would no longer say things like “Tong Jiaxuan’s nature is not bad”.
Melody Fox did not continue to persuade him. After saying goodbye to Tong Qizhen, he left the Tong family with Ken Swanson.
On the way, Melody Fox frowned and looked like he was deep in thought.
Ken Swanson could not help but pinch her cheek and ask, “What are you thinking about? Your two eyebrows are almost connected. If you keep frowning, you won’t be beautiful with wrinkles.”
Melody Fox glared at Ken Swanson and said, “You’re not wrinkled or beautiful. Didn’t you say that you don’t care about these skins and that you like my heart?”
“… You’re right.”
When talking to a woman, don’t be reasonable. Just admit your mistake.
This was the experience of Ken Swanson after marriage.
Melody Fox stopped joking and said, “There’s something I can’t figure out.”
“Hmm? Tell me, I’ll help you analyze it.”
“I don’t understand. Why would Kuang Rangliu poison Old Mr. Tong? Her target is the Swanson Group, but Old Mr. Tong has nothing to do with the Swanson Group. He’s indeed a high-level politician in Insterimond, but from the information, he’s never been involved in the business world. Even the company that Tong Qizhen from Jinxiu Town started is just an ordinary company that hasn’t gone public. The industry he does is still embroidery and tourism. It has nothing to do with the Swanson family.”
Ken Swanson also revealed a strange expression after pondering for a moment.
“Indeed, there’s really no need for them to deal with Elder Tong. Before today, no matter if it was me or Ulric Swanson, we didn’t have any contact with Elder Tong. Moreover, Elder Tong is about to retire in the next two years. As a person who’s about to retire, he’s actually not much help in seizing the position of the Swanson Group’s successor.”
Melody Fox nodded and said, “That’s what I couldn’t figure out just now.”
“Perhaps, they have some personal grudge? Or perhaps, Tong Jiaxuan promised Liu Rang some benefits, so he took advantage of the situation to make a move…”
Before Melody Fox could say anything, Ken Swanson denied his own guess.
“There shouldn’t be any personal grudges. The information is clear. There’s no connection between the Kuorang and Tong families. It’s unlikely that the Tong family’s Xuan will praise Liu Rong for benefits. It’s impossible for the Tong family to be interested in such a small thing.”
Melody Fox nodded and said, “That’s why I find it strange. There’s no reason for Praising Liu to attack the Tong family.”
Ken Swanson suddenly raised his eyelids and said, “Melody, is there a possibility that our entry point was wrong from the beginning?”
“What do you mean?”
“What I mean is that we might have been wrong about Kuangliang’s purpose from the beginning, so much so that all our subsequent guesses went astray.”
Melody Fox said in confusion, “But other than helping your uncle win the Swanson Group and avenging her own clansmen, what other motives could she have?”
Ken Swanson shook his head and said, “I haven’t thought of this for the time being. However, this is also a direction. When we return, we can discuss it properly.”
“Yes! What you said makes sense. Otherwise, there’s really no way to explain this matter.”
“We might be able to get an answer from Tong Jiaxuan.”
Melody Fox smiled and said, “Then I hope that this little fish finds a big fish as soon as possible so that we can catch all the big fish in one go.”
By the time Fox returned to his hometown of the Fox family, the sky had completely darkened.
Melody Fox walked to the door but hesitated to enter.
In the Tong Family’s Fox, although Maria Fox introduced her as her granddaughter, everything became uncertain when she returned home.
Ken Swanson looked at Melody Fox. Just as he was about to persuade Melody Fox not to be nervous, Fox’s voice sounded.
“Why are you standing at the door? We don’t need a door god at home.”
Melody Fox was stunned. He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice.
She saw Maria Fox standing on the balcony on the second floor, looking down at her.
Melody Fox blushed.
“Grandma…”
“Come on up. I told Hattie Meyer to bring dinner up. It’s cooler to eat upstairs.”
Maria Fox’s words were like a stabilizing force that calmed Melody Fox’s uneasy heart.
The two of them went upstairs and saw that the open-air balcony was filled with green plants. A small glass round table was filled with home-cooked dishes.
Ken Swanson greeted Maria Fox first.
“Grandma Fox, long time no see. Are you still healthy?”
Maria Fox nodded. “The King of Hell is still unwilling to accept me. I’m not going to die for the time being. Don’t just stand there. Hurry up and sit down. You should be hungry.”
Melody Fox took the opportunity to sit beside Maria Fox and called out weakly, “Grandma.”
“Okay,” Maria Fox replied. “Let’s not talk about anything else for now. Let’s eat first.”
“Yeah.”
Melody Fox picked up the fork and felt relieved.
On the other end, Hattie Meyer rubbed his hands. nervously and said, “I’m not good at cooking. Please forgive me…”
Ken Swanson waved his hand. “It looks delicious.”
When Hattie Meyer saw that Ken Swanson was not so difficult to talk to, his heart relaxed. He retreated to the side and did not disturb their conversation.
Just as the three of them were almost done eating, Fox seconds later, Maria Fox broke the silence.
“It’s all thanks to the two of you and Fox that Old Tong appeared today. Otherwise, I’m afraid he would have been doomed.”
Melody Fox was about to speak when Maria Fox spoke again, “Ken Swanson, I asked Hattie Meyer to buy watermelons. They’re in the kitchen. Go down and cut some watermelons. We’ll talk while eating watermelons.”
As smart as Ken Swanson was, he knew that Maria Fox wanted to say something to Melody Fox. He got up tactfully and went downstairs to cut the watermelon.
After Ken Swanson left, Melody Fox looked at Maria Fox and asked directly, “Grandma, what do you want to tell me?”
Maria Fox did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, “How have you been recently?”
“Everything’s fine. Ken Swanson is very good to me.”
Maria Fox sighed and said, “Initially, I wanted Ulric Swanson to marry you. Who knew that later on, you would actually be with Ken Swanson… Forget it, it’s all fate. It’s good that he treats you well. I can tell today that he’s indeed very protective of you. I’m relieved.”
Melody Fox’s eyes reddened.
“Grandma, are you willing to forgive me?”
Maria Fox said with a complicated gaze, “What forgiveness? It has already happened. the Fox family… can’t go back to the old Fox family. Even if I continue to blame you and blame you for all of this, what can I change? In the end, Russell Fox has let you down. It was also my inaction that allowed him to raise you in the countryside that led to today’s situation.”
