Chapter 825: Getting Closer and Closer to the Truth
Hence, he didn’t dare to let his guard down. After thinking about it seriously for a while, he looked up and said, “Young Master Gong, I don’t rember much about what happened 10 years ago. I thought about it carefully just now. If I rember correctly, I should have brought Mianmian to the Gong family’s banquet back then.”
“That year... was sumr.” Qiao Ruhai recalled. “That was the first ti the Qiao family received an invitation from the Gong family.”
This was an honor and a surprise for the Qiao family.
That was why he still rembered this.
If it was so unimportant household that invited him, he wouldn’t have rembered.
Gong Zeli looked up, his heart pounding. “Are you sure? You brought Qiao Mianmian to the Gong family’s banquet 10 years ago?”
Qiao Ruhai looked up at him and thought about it seriously for a while before nodding. “Yes. It was Young Master Gong’s birthday party back then. I thought that Mianmian was about the sa age as you, so I brought her along.”
Gong Zeli looked calm.
But his fingers were trembling uncontrollably.
“Speaking of this...” Qiao Ruhai glanced at Gong Zeli’s expression cautiously. There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Gong Zeli took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions. “What else do you rember?”
Qiao Ruhai still rembered what happened that day. Firstly, it was Young Master Gong’s birthday, and it was an honor for the Qiao family to be able to attend it.
He had bragged about it for a long ti.
Secondly, it was because of sothing that left a deep impression on him.
He was still hesitating if he should say it, but since Gong Zeli had already asked, he could only say it.
“I rember that day when Mianmian said she was going to the washroom, she went for a long ti. When she ca back, I realized that she was all wet, as if she’d fallen into the water. I asked her what happened, but she didn’t tell . I was worried that she’d catch a cold, so I brought her ho early.”
Back then, he thought that his daughter had been bullied.
He was angry and helpless.
Initially, he wanted to find the person who bullied Qiao Mianmian. But when he thought about how most of the people at the banquet were either rich or powerful, if the other party’s family background far surpassed the Qiao family, not only would they not be able to get justice, they might even get into trouble.
He thought for a while and decided to let it go.
Actually, Qiao Ruhai didn’t know why he said it.
He just felt that perhaps Gong Zeli’s investigation had sothing to do with this.
Otherwise, why would he ask about what happened 10 years ago?
Moreover, he kept asking him if he brought Qiao Mianmian along.
It was obvious that his investigation had sothing to do with Qiao Mianmian, and it happened at his birthday party.
That was why Qiao Ruhai wanted to tell him about it.
He only had the guts to say it because he saw Gong Zeli’s attitude.
“What did you say?”
Gong Zeli’s barely maintained composure was shattered by this statent.
He almost crushed the white jade teacup in his hand.
