Chapter 872: Chapter 871: The Truth
The Qiao Family’s ability to handle situations was evident, as they used so ans to imdiately erase the matter cleanly, as if the scandal had never occurred.
The alliance between the Qiao Family and the Bai Family had not attracted any public discourse or comntary.
Considering the Bai Family’s situation at the ti, Qiao Xiaren sensed that Qiuqing must have approached Qiao Lin with ulterior motives years ago.
Yeqian was Qiao Lin’s child, just seventeen years old. Counting the days, he was likely conceived that night at the bar.
Considering Qiuqing’s behavior, it was clear that she could not possibly be his mother.
So there was only one possibility: the woman at the bar that night was not Bai Qiuqing, but soone else—most likely Yeqian’s birth mother!
Once she had realized this, Qiao Xiaren felt a sense of clarity and an underlying thrill.
But at the mont, she still had two concerns: where was Yeqian’s birth mother now? And why had she left Yeqian alone in an orphanage? It was indeed baffling.
Right now, Qiao Xiaren’s mind felt muddled. It seed that thoroughly unraveling this matter would take ti. She definitely could not act rashly and risk startling the snake in the grass.
She had unintentionally acknowledged a brother, and it turned out he really was her brother.
anwhile, as soon as Bai Qiuqing heard Yeqian’s na, she felt a sudden cold sweat. How did she know? And how did she react so quickly!
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Who’s this Yeqian you ntion? I don’t know the person at all. What nonsense are you spouting!”
“Is it talking nonsense, or are you feeling guilty? Don’t think I’m completely unaware. Aunt, you seem to live too comfortably to go out of your way to harm others actively. Haven’t you made him suffer enough? Bai Qiuqing, aren’t you afraid of retribution?”
Bai Qiuqing shuddered. Yes, Qiao Xiaren seed to be looking at her as if she were a dead person! Qiao Lin had just entered, and the housemaid helped him by taking his suit jacket.
Anyone could feel that today’s atmosphere was off. Qiao Lin thought Bai Qiuqing was giving Qiao Xiaren a hard ti again and took a few steps forward: “What happened here?”
“Husband, look at her. As soon as she entered, she treated with such an attitude! I have no idea who this Yeqian she’s talking about is, yet she slandered as soon as she ca in!” Bai Qiuqing instinctively hid behind Qiao Lin, already scared.
Qiao Lin, more confused by the mont, furrowed his brow and asked, “What exactly is going on?”
Qiao Xiaren did not bother to explain anything to Qiao Lin, only gave him a slightly sorrowful look: “Uncle, if you found out soone had been deceiving you all along, would you forgive her?”
Qiao Lin paused: “Of course, it depends on the circumstance.”
“So, if it’s a serious matter, you wouldn’t be able to forgive her, right?”
“Naturally.”
Qiao Xiaren nodded: “I understand.”
“Aunt, you know exactly what you’ve done. Don’t treat everyone as fools. If you want to play gas, be careful not to play yourself to death.”
Watching Qiao Xiaren’s mocking smile, Bai Qiuqing felt utterly transparent. Didn’t Qiao Xiaren return from M Country last ti without knowing anything about Yeqian?
Why does it seem like she knows everything now?
“Qiao Xiaren, what exactly do you know?” Bai Qiuqing’s lips trembled, her anxiety growing, as she stared intensely at Qiao Xiaren.
