C12 What Happened Back Then

During the meal, Qiao Yumeng couldn't calm down. Lu Chen said that she might choose to stay after meeting Qin Yihang. She really couldn't think of any reason for her to stay in Nancheng.

Qiao Yuxi was very happy, "Uncle Lu, the dishes here are good. Next time, bring me here to eat."

"Sure." Lu Chen nodded. They had already become good friends.

"Uncle Lu, are you married?" Qiao Yuxi asked casually as she ate.

Here it comes again! Qiao Yumeng could not help rolling her eyes. How much did Qiao Yuxi want her to marry off?

"No." Lu Chen replied.

As usual, Qiao Yuxi would introduce Qiao Yumeng to Lu Chen, but she did not. She started to praise Lu Chen. "Uncle Lu is young and handsome. There must be many beautiful older sisters who want to marry Uncle Lu. There is no hurry."

Qiao Yuxi did not introduce her to Lu Chen, but it made Qiao Yumeng a little surprised. Later on when Qiao Yumeng asked, Qiao Yuxi said, "Because I already have a father candidate in my heart, so I do not plan to introduce a person to mother."

After asking who the person in her heart was, she did not want to say.

Of course, that was also after that.

After the two of them finished eating, Qiao Yumeng stood up. Seeing Qiao Yumeng's anxious look, Lu Chen could not help but smile dotingly.

After paying, Lu Chen drove Qiao Yumeng and Qiao Yuxi out of the city. Only when the car arrived at a village did Lu Chen stop the car.

"Qin Yihang lives here?" Qiao Yumeng frowned. This place was not bad. According to Qin Yihang's character, he must stay in a five-star hotel. How could he live in a village far away from the city?

"Yes." Lu Chen nodded and led Qiao Yuxi into the village. They stopped at the entrance of a village primary school.

With countless guesses in his mind, Qin Yihang came out.

He was once one of the top playboys in Nancheng, Qin Yihang. At this moment, he was wearing a tattered camouflage suit. His hair was already white and his back was bent.

"Meng?" He opened his eyes wide in surprise. Those lifeless eyes became more spirited when he saw Qiao Yumeng.

Qiao Yumeng's lips moved. She subconsciously wanted to call him uncle, but she could not pass the hurdle in her heart. She nodded as an answer.

"I did not expect you to be willing to come see me." Qin Yihang saw Qiao Yumeng all of a sudden. He wanted to laugh but also wanted to cry. In the end, all that was left on his face was a strange expression.

"Dr. Lu." Qiao Yumeng looked at Lu Chen. Her meaning was very clear. She had already agreed to see Qin Yihang. Should he confess what he had hidden from her?

"Uncle Qin, tell Yumeng what you know." Lu Chen looked at Qiao Yuxi. "Yuxi, Uncle Lu will take you to play with the kids, okay?"

"Okay." Qiao Yuxi nodded.

After they left, Qin Yihang asked, "Meng, is that child Fu Qianchen's?"

"It's none of your business." Qiao Yumeng really could not pass that hurdle in her heart. Back then, when Qiao Yumeng's mother had just come out of the resuscitation room, she received news that Qin Yihang had lost all of Qiao Yumeng's grandfather's assets overnight and even owed ten million gambling debts.

At that time, Qiao Yi was just a businessman who had just started his career in Nancheng and his total assets were less than 5 million. Adding on Qin Yanran's serious illness, it was the time to use money. After receiving this news, Qin Yanran's condition quickly worsened and she died in less than half a month.

In the following two years, the people who came to Qiao family to collect debts did not stop.

Fortunately, Qiao Yi had the talent to do business. He paid back the ten million gambling debts in five years. But ever since then, Qiao Yumeng had never seen Qin Yihang again.

That was why she had forgotten about her uncle a long time ago.

"Meng, I know you still blame me. What happened back then..." A bitter expression appeared on Qin Yihang's face, "I don't want to deny what happened back then. I did something wrong. What I want to tell you today is that I discovered some problems between Qiao Yi and Shen Yanru in the past two years."

Qiao Yumeng did not answer. She just stared at Qin Yihang, indicating for him to continue.

"Shen Yanru is Qiao Yi's first love. When Qiao Yi married your mother, they were also connected. Qiao Yurou was also Qiao Yi's biological daughter."

"I know." Qiao Yumeng frowned. Was this the reason why Lu Chen said she would stay? She knew all of this.

"You know?" Qin Yihang was stunned. He frowned and asked, "Then you also know about your mother's illness back then. Isn't it a coincidence?"

"What?" Qiao Yumeng's mind was filled with a bang. It took her a long time to regain her voice. "Say it again?"

"I..." Qin Yihang knitted his brows tightly, "I don't have any evidence. It's just a guess... Actually, I didn't like gambling in the past. I don't know why I went to gamble that day. Later, Qiao Yi helped me pay my debt. I was grateful. A while ago, I heard a friend of mine say that those few years, business was very difficult. Especially the small and medium-sized enterprises, they all went bankrupt. Including Qiao Yi's media company. "

"Are you telling the truth?" These few simple words exhausted all of Qiao Yumeng's strength.

She had thought that Qiao Yi would at most have an affair, but she did not expect Qin Yihang to be involved in it. The death of her mother was not a coincidence.

"Meng, I can't do anything in my current state. I can only rely on you." Qin Yihang reached out and grabbed Qiao Yumeng's hand. Only then did Qiao Yumeng discover that Qin Yihang's hand was full of calluses. That high-spirited Qin Yihang had long disappeared.

"I... okay." Qiao Yumeng nodded.

If her mother's death was not accidental, then Qiao Yi and Shen Yanru must be the murderers. She would not allow them to live a good life!

"If that child is Fu Qianchen's, then you have more bargaining chips..."

"No!" Qiao Yumeng's expression immediately turned cold. Qiao Yuxi was her hope. No matter what, she would not become a bargaining chip.

As if frightened by Qiao Yumeng's expression, Qin Yihang's expression became timid, "Meng, Fu Qianchen is very powerful in Nancheng. If he wants to protect Qiao Yurou, you can't compare to them."

"I know." Qiao Yumeng clenched her teeth and wanted to say something, but in the end she could only say, "Take care of yourself. I will leave first."

Qin Yihang looked at Qiao Yumeng for a long time and sighed. He nodded and did not say anything else.

Qiao Yumeng walked into the school to look for Lu Chen and Qiao Yuxi. She saw Qiao Yuxi smiling at Lu Chen from afar. She suddenly saw that they really looked like a father and daughter pair.
