Forced Marriage: The billionaire CEO calls

"Yes." The person in charge swallowed nervously: "It's Gu Nan who is currently in City A! Gu Nan's great-grandfather once joined the army, and he was serious, unsmiling, and strict with juniors. His great-great-grandmother was kind, They passed away three years ago, and they have a grandson and a granddaughter under their knees, and their ages are indeed right."


"What about her?"


"She passed away suddenly due to illness many years ago, and many people attended her funeral." The person in charge bowed his head deeply, not daring to lift it up: "But whether she died of illness or not, only the Gu family knows. We really can't find out."


Zhou Chengyan frowned, waved his hand, and let people go down.


The man left immediately as if he had been pardoned.


After returning that night, Zhou Chengyan told Qiao Ai about this matter.


Qiao Ai was silent for a moment, with shallow brows: "Gu Nan should have found out about this, but he didn't mention it, probably not."


Zhou Chengyan had a different opinion: "The authorities are obsessed with onlookers, and it is easy for people to ignore themselves when investigating a matter. He still owes us three conditions, and you can exchange one for the answer. Try it, maybe there will be surprises reward."


Qiao Ai thought for a while and made a decision: "I'll go see Li Lan again first."


Maybe those words were fabricated by Li Lan in order to let her spare Qiao Lu.


……


Li Lan was led in by someone wearing a prison uniform.


In just a short period of time, she took good care of herself. Her appearance, which was only in her 30s, had turned into that of her 50s, with a stooped figure and a few strands of white hair scattered randomly.


"What's wrong with you coming to see me?"


Qiao Ai said calmly: "I thought you had already guessed it."


Li Lan's hands on the table were tightly clenched into fists, and she said stiffly, "How could I guess?"


Qiao Ai looked at her with a half-smile, and didn't speak, but slowly picked up the water in front of her and sipped it lightly.


When dealing with people like Li Lan, you must not let her get hold of you.The best way is to let her mess herself up.


In the silence, Li Lan's forehead began to seep a little sweat.


Qiao Ai drank half a glass of water, put the glass down, and slightly hooked her lips: "I have nothing else to do now, but I have a lot of time. It doesn't matter if you don't remember, I can spend it with you slowly. But you have to think clearly, Some people can't afford it. For example... pregnant women!"


Li Lan's complexion changed slightly, and she said anxiously: "I... I said, I convinced my sister to save Qiao Lu. If she offends you in any way, you can come at me , don't touch my daughter! Lulu is still pregnant, she can't be stimulated or hurt at all! Qiao Ai, if you have anger or resentment, just vent it on me!"


"Look at what you said, as if I'm such a villain who must take revenge." Qiao Ai leaned forward slightly, and said with a kind smile: "Your sister did do something that made me very unhappy, but I still Don't make things difficult for Qiao Lu because of that."


Li Lan obviously breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what did you mean just now?"


Qiao Ai played with the water glass and raised her eyebrows: "You don't know?"


"I came to you because I wanted to give you another chance. If you cooperate and give me a satisfactory answer, I won't promise you that Qiao Lu will have a good life, but during her pregnancy, I will definitely not Embarrass her. Have you thought it through?"


Li Lan frowned.


Since she came to the prison, the only thing she has done is to persuade Mother Li to save Qiao Lu with sweet words.


Besides, she couldn't think of anything else to offend Qiao Ai.


Could it be something from before?


But those things in the past were basically some shady little losses, and they didn't actually cause any real harm to Qiao Ai. She wouldn't have come here specially for those things.


Li Lan thought about it, she didn't dare to challenge Qiao Ai's current patience, seeing Qiao Ai showing a little impatience, she hurriedly asked tentatively: "Is it my plan to let Lulu rob your boyfriend?" ?”


Seeing that Qiao Ai's eyebrows are slightly frowned, this is obviously not the correct answer, Li Lan quickly continued to guess: "Then... I deducted your tuition and living expenses back then, so that you almost couldn't go to the university to report?"


"still……"


Seeing Qiao Ai's expression getting more and more impatient, Li Lan spoke more eagerly.


Even things about Qiao Ai's childhood were mentioned, and nothing about Qiao Ai's mother's life experience was mentioned.


Her expression was extremely flustered, and this appearance could not be faked.


Qiao Ai's heart sank gradually.


Could it be that Li Lan didn't lie about this matter?


"I really can't remember." Li Lan said with a dry mouth, but seeing Qiao Ai's complexion became more gloomy, she swallowed: "Or, Qiao Ai, can you give me some hints?"


Qiao Ai looked at her, her red lips parted slightly: "My mother."


"You, your mother is a very gentle person." Li Lan didn't know what Qiao Ai wanted to hear, so she simply explained her impression of her: "She came to City B alone at the beginning, saying she was looking for her from afar. My sister's, but I can't tell why. After your father got in touch with her, he found out that her parents passed away and left her a large inheritance, so he moved his mind."


"Your mother has a pure personality. Under your father's gentle offensive, they got married soon. But once she was asked about what happened before she came to City B, she would keep silent. Until one day, she suddenly got drunk, I don’t know who recognized me, and said a lot to me. I barely pieced together her previous family situation, and I have already told you before.”


Qiao Ai asked: "What did she say to you when she was drunk?"


Li Lan wondered: "This happened 20 years ago, how could I remember it?"


Qiao Ai's lips tightened.


Li Lan didn't notice anything wrong: "Qiao Ai, what do you want to know about your mother from me? I've already told you everything I know."


"There's nothing left." Qiao Ai stood up, she had already got what she wanted.


"Don't worry, I will do what I promised you."


After leaving the prison, Qiao Ai walked back slowly.


Now that it has been confirmed that Li Lan did not lie, could it be that her mother's news was false when she was drunk?

Her mother came to City A alone at the beginning, she kept silent about the past, but in the end she wanted to go back to her roots, so she left home because she had no choice but to have unspeakable difficulties.


These questions are like one after another mystery, shrouded in Qiao Ai's heart.


There are so few clues left that it is impossible to start for a while.


Maybe she should ask Gu Nan as Zhou Chengyan said, even if the hope is very slim, but at least it can make her give up.
