Le Yao didn’t say anything else. Although she felt that Yan Mei wouldn’t give up, that wasn’t something she should care about, let alone be willing to care about. However, she didn’t want Nangong Jue to belittle himself. “Aren’t you underestimating yourself? Don’t you know how capable you are?” The male lead had a halo no matter what.

“I won’t underestimate myself in other places, but in the Nangong family, I’m really nothing.” Nangong Jue smiled bitterly. “Actually, if He Rong hadn’t threatened them and Nangong Rongyao didn’t care about his face, they wouldn’t have acknowledged me at all.” He paused for a moment. “Actually, I don’t want this surname either. If possible, I can even make my own surname.”

Le Yao reached out and stroked Nangong Jue’s head. Poor child.

Nangong Jue was speechless.

This was the first time someone had touched his head. Why did this feel… like touching Gold Bean?

After Nangong Jue fell asleep, Le Yao came out of the ward. However, she met Yan Mei downstairs. She originally planned to ignore her, but the other party stopped her. “Ms. Han, can we talk for a while?”

Le Yao raised her eyebrows slightly. “Madam He, what’s there to talk about between us?” Since the other party was polite, she was polite too. The other party was distant, so she had no intention of being intimate.

“Won’t you know if there’s anything to talk about after chatting?” Yan Mei smiled.

Le Yao:

This was an expert in negotiations. However, she had found the wrong person to look for.

“I’m sorry, but I really don’t think there’s anything to talk about. I still have to rush back to cook.”

“Han Binglan.” Yan Mei took a few steps forward and blocked Le Yao’s path. “Don’t you want to know something about the Cui family?”

“The Cui family?” Le Yao frowned.

“Yes, for example… Cui Na, for example, your biological grandmother…”

“Biological grandmother?” Le Yao’s eyes narrowed slightly. Previously, she had guessed that there might be a problem with Cui Na’s background, but she had no evidence. Now, Yan Mei’s words completely confirmed her guess.

“That’s right. Can we find a place to sit down and talk now?”

“No.” Le Yao didn’t want to be manipulated at all. “My mother has been dead for so many years. Even if something happened, it’s all in the past. Besides, be it my biological grandmother or my step-grandmother, I don’t owe them anything at all. Why should I care so much? I might as well not know. Besides, I’ll investigate what I really want to know myself.” With that, she turned around and left.

Yan Mei was stunned. Why was this wretched girl so stubborn?

However, she also knew that if she stopped her again, she would lose all advantage. Therefore, in the end, she could only sigh gloomily and watch Le Yao leave.

Le Yao’s heart was not as calm as she looked on the surface. Apart from the dirty things she had found out previously, there was no new progress on Tao Qing’s side for the time being. Therefore, she was actually anxious, but at this moment, she was not.

As long as there was a problem, there had to be clues. Now it was just a matter of time.

Le Yao didn’t know what Yan Mei did after that, but something happened to He Rong. To be precise, something happened to her new boyfriend, Shan Huaming, and he implicated her.

It happened at a construction site in the western suburbs of Xiling City. When the workers were working, they dug out a skeleton, scaring everyone silly. The person in charge of the construction site did not dare to be careless and hurriedly called the police..
