Chapter 251: Can’t Allow Qinger to Return to Luo Hai
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhao Yanni realized how despicable her actions were. She lowered her head and dared not et Mu Chenyan’s gaze.
“Miss Mu, you must be looking down on , aren’t you?”
Although due to the dication, Zhao Yanni was sluggish and her eyes were not that animated like ordinary people, she could still read one’s facial expression.
Mu Chenyan was eyeing her with anger.
She had really failed as a mother!
“Treating Qinger this way, aren’t you afraid that she would tell the Yuan Family after she returns to Luo Hai?”
Mu Chenyan suppressed the rage within and asked in a low voice.
“We were afraid! It was because of that we can’t allow Qinger to return to Luo Hai...”
Zhao Yanni’s voice trembled as she continued saying, “That damned bastard said that if Qinger heads back to Luo Hai, things would be brought to light. He’s the mastermind, while Ruoxin and I were his accomplices. None of us can escape!”
“Was that why you all thought of letting Zhao Ruoxin take Qinger’s place to co back to Luo Hai?” Mu Chenyan could guess the outco of this whole thing.
“Ruoxin had spent so ti with Qinger, so she was rather familiar with her tracks in Luo Hai. Because Qinger was ntally unwell, she had been staying at Zong He for the first few months after she was back in the country, but after that, she had actually sneaked out!”
Hearing that, Mu Chenyan was taken aback. No wonder Yuan Xuan was reluctant to reveal Qinger’s whereabouts.
“When Ruoxin went back to Luo Hai and had stayed at Zong He for so ti, she had given a call saying that she had fallen in love with a man. Very soon, she told that she was pregnant with that man’s child.”
As Zhao Yanni recounted, remorse was seen on her face. “If I had known that the ending would be as such, I would never have let Ruoxin co to Luo Hai no matter what...”
“A man? Did Ruoxin ever tell you anything about that man while she was still alive?”
About that man, probably even Yuan Xuan did not know who he was.
Otherwise, after so many years, with the Yuan Family’s capability, it was impossible to have not captured the murderer. This man should be a good starting point!
“At that ti, Qinger was confined by us. Not long after Ruoxin had arrived at Luo Hai, she then began to secretly send money. She told that that man was very powerful, and that very soon after she had given birth to the child, she would bring Qinger and to Luo Hai so that they won’t have to tolerate that evil bastard stepfather anymore.”
While speaking, Zhao Yanni smiled bitterly. “Not long after that... Ruoxin... was t with that tragedy...”
What unfolded next, Mu Chenyan already knew all about it.
For more than 700 days and nights, the questions Mu Chenyan had pondered on were mostly answered now. Yuan Xuan had once made it clear to her that the child was not his.
The man Ruoxin was having a relationship with must have given Zhao Ruoxin a promise, which was why she was that confident.
It was just that too many tides were turned after that, and the fate of many was changed.
One particular example was Mu Chenyan!
Mu Chenyan stood up and looked out of the window. It was a sunny April. The wind was gentle, and flowers blossod by the bridge. It should have been a warm season, yet she felt the chill of winter!
“After that, how did Qinger co back to Luo Hai?”
About this matter, Mu Chenyan did not believe in the pretext Shu Qinger had told when she first arrived at the Yuan Family.
Perhaps, Qinger had also used Xia Tao?
After all, she had remained in City C, and since Xia Tao was once Zhao Ruoxin’s sugar daddy, with Ruoxin leaving, Qinger would have certainly been her substitute.
“The money Ruoxin sent back was discovered by that gambler bastard. With the money, he indulged in gambling even more, and he finally gambled his life away. Qinger and I were free at last! Just so ti ago, a mysterious man contacted Qinger and said that he can help Qinger to return to the Yuan Family in Luo Hai.”
“A mysterious man?” Mu Chenyan suddenly felt that there was sothing fishy about this matter. She then asked, “Could he be related to that man Ruoxin was previously acquainted with in Luo Hai?”
Zhao Yanni was clearly unsure, and she shook her head in a perplexing way. “Ruoxin did not tell who that man in Luo Hai was.”
Mu Chenyan was in great confusion.
Although she had so clues, yet if she could not find the father of the child in Zhao Ruoxin’s belly, this whole matter would not take shape.
She was not the police. All these years, the Luo Hai police were also investigating this case. Apart from her discovering that there was an issue with the identity of the deceased, could the Luo Hai police have not co across any useful information?
Mu Chenyan sighed and felt that she was like a private detective...
Zhao Yanni looked at Mu Chenyan timidly and quietly asked, “Miss Mu, there’s sothing that I’d like to ask you for your favor.”
Mu Chenyan replied gently, “Tell , and I’ll do my best to help you.”
“No matter what, you have to find a way to help Qinger. She’s a child with a bitter fate, and it is I who have wronged her. If anything happens to her in the near future, you have to help her...”
While speaking, Zhao Yanni covered her mouth and began to weep again.
“Aunty Zhao, about the favor you’re asking for, is it because you know that the poisoning case in Zong He was committed by Qinger?”
Mu Chenyan’s gaze had never once left Zhao Yanni, and her tone was extrely firm.
Zhao Yanni shuddered and shook her head. “No. It wasn’t Qinger. It wasn’t her...”
Zhao Yanni beca rather emotional. Her face flushed red as she seed to be engaged in intense inner conflict. She dodged Mu Chenyan’s stare, and her body turned sideways like she was trying her best to get away from Mu Chenyan.
Mu Chenyan looked at the closed-circuit monitoring and relaxed her tone, asking persistently, “Aunty, whether it was done by Qinger, you know it well in your heart. If you don’t tell anything now, I don’t know how to help you.”
“You have a way! You can plead with Third Young Master, and he’ll listen to you, right?”
It turned out that Zhao Yanni was thinking of seeking Yuan Xuan’s help.
“How do you know that Yuan Xuan would listen to for sure?” Mu Chenyan chuckled bitterly. Even she herself did not even know that between Yuan Xuan and her, who was circling around who?
“Third Young Master Yuan only has you in his heart. He’ll definitely listen to your words! Qinger had told later on that it was because Yuan Xuan wanted to marry you that she was ntally deranged and was admitted into Zong He...”
Mu Chenyan was dumbstruck. She fell back a few steps and bumped into the chair, which fell over to the ground and knocked into the corner of the table. The fruits she brought scattered all over, clattering on the ground.
Zhao Yanni looked at the flustered Mu Chenyan and continued saying, “I’ve known since the beginning that the relationship between a man and woman could not be forced upon. Qinger and Yuan Xuan had grown up together since young, hence all she thought about in her heart was him. However, Qinger didn’t have a good fate. After such an incident, how can I still ask the Yuan Family to have her as their daughter-in-law...”
“However, Qinger wasn’t willing to give in. I’ll tell you the truth, the reason she’s back at the Yuan Family now is to snatch back Yuan Xuan. I think Miss Mu would’ve noticed that. I’m afraid that she’ll do so terrible things to you in the near future. I beg you to look at the misery of our mother and daughter and pardon her.”
When Mu Chenyan heard Zhao Yanni’s words, she lightly let out a sigh. Previously, she had not understood where did Zhao Ruoxin obtain the confidence and courage from for her to openly display her affection toward Yuan Xuan. At that ti, she was only utilizing her sister’s identity to enter into the Yuan Family.
Now that Mu Chenyan knew that she was the real Shu Qinger, she could understand her dedication to Yuan Xuan.
“The Zong He case really has nothing to with Qinger! I beg you, Miss Mu, please, no matter what, you must help to take care of Qinger! Although this request might seem to go overboard since there’s no relation between you and I, you coming here today to see has made happy, and I could only ask for a favor.”
Without being sure whether it was because Zhao Yanni’s expression was overly forlorn, compassion blood in Mu Chenyan’s heart, and she nodded lightly, “I promise you.”
