204 The Investigation

“Thank you, Uncle Yan.” Le Yao thanked him sincerely, then hesitated. “Then can you tell me about my mother and my grandmother? I keep feeling that there’s something fishy about her death.” She also had a feeling that Yan Cheng should know something.

“Are you suspicious?”

Le Yao nodded. “After I came back, I accidentally heard Han Guosheng and Zhou Yunmeng mention it. My maternal family doesn’t treat me well either… Also, you know what happened at Renci Hospital in Xiling a few days ago, right? My aunt kidnapped me to get my kidney for her son…”

“What?” Yan Cheng was surprised. “There’s actually such a thing?”

Le Yao nodded. “I almost died.”

“Sigh!” Yan Cheng let out a long sigh. “I don’t know much about the past. The Yan family and the Cui family were neighbors. I’m the only child in my family, but the Cui family had three children. Your mother was the eldest sister…”

Fifty years ago, Cui Zhanyi and Gu Meizhi got married, but they didn’t have children for two years. Later, they went out and said that they would go to the west to visit family. They only returned after almost a year and brought back a girl, Cui Na.

From then on, the Cui family started to do business. They said that they were provided money by their relatives.

Cui Zhanyi was also a smart person. He contracted a coal mine to open a textile factory and developed step by step.

Two years later, Gu Meizhi gave birth to twins, Cui Li and Cui Peng.

However, Cui Zhanyi and Gu Meizhi’s attitude towards their eldest daughter was a little strange. Although they did not hit or scold her, they never disciplined her either. It was as if… they let her do whatever she wanted.

Later on, Cui Na fell in love with a poor boy. The Cui family did not stop her and just gave her a dowry.

“I’m three years older than your mother, but I watched her grow up. I liked her, but she doesn’t seem to have that kind of feelings for me. However, I was unwilling to see her with a poor boy, so I went to investigate Han Guosheng and found out something…”

“Uncle Yan, there’s nothing you can’t say to me.” Le Yao’s gaze was sincere. “Otherwise, I might take a lot of detours if I investigate it myself.”

“Then I can only tell you what I found out. As for whether it’s true or not, you can verify it yourself.”

Le Yao nodded.

“Firstly, Han Guosheng and Zhou Yunmeng were from the same village. Actually, they’ve been together for a long time. Han Xueqian isn’t Zhou Yunmeng’s ex-husband’s child at all, but…”

“I know that. I overheard them talking about it. That’s why I suspected my mother’s death.”

“Secondly, your mother didn’t go to the Han family village. Your aunt urged her to go there. As for why, I didn’t investigate further…”

After Yan Cheng left, Le Yao sighed in disbelief. Life was really full of melodrama. It seemed that she had to go to Beichuan when she had the chance. She kept feeling that Cui Na might not be a child of the Cui family. Otherwise, her grandparents would not ignore her and Cui Li would not scheme against her.

Of course, this was her speculation. Whether it was right or not needed to be verified.

At this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.

“There’s no need for service for the time being.” Le Yao leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes. “If there’s a need, I’ll ring the bell…”

However, the footsteps approached her. She suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed the teapot on the table, throwing it at the person.
