"Aren't you curious why you two separated after having a child?" Shen Yue looked at Qiao Yuyue and asked.

There was a hint of confusion in Qiao Yuyue's eyes. She was indeed confused about this question.

She and Li Changting were once deeply in love, why did such a change happen?

Her mind was filled with questions, but she knew the answers to these questions might be hidden in her forgotten past.

"I... I'm curious," Qiao Yuyue admitted, with a slight tremor in her voice.

"Because Li Changting doesn't want you and that girl anymore, he only wants Li Nianyu!"

Shen Yue's words hit Qiao Yuyue's heart like a heavy hammer, making her unable to breathe.

She couldn't believe that Li Changting would be such a person who would abandon her and Qiao Mihua.

She looked at Shen Yue, trying to find a hint of truth in her eyes, but she only saw unfathomable darkness.

"You... do you have any evidence?" Qiao Yuyue's voice was trembling. She was afraid of the answer she would hear, but she was even more afraid of being deceived by lies.

Shen Yue sneered, took out a document from her handbag and threw it in front of Qiao Yuyue.

It was a report from the hospital, dated exactly when she and Li Changting separated. It clearly stated that Li Changting had applied for a paternity test with Qiao Mihua at that time.

"Paternity test?!" Qiao Yuyue picked up the report with trembling hands. She couldn't understand why Li Changting did this. He clearly knew that Qiao Mihua was his daughter.

"He was afraid. He was afraid that you and your daughter would take away his property and his love, so he chose to abandon you."

Shen Yue's voice was cold and ruthless, and every word was like a sharp blade piercing Qiao Yuyue's heart.

But all of this was just nonsense she made up, even the evidence was forged by her.

Qiao Yuyue was struggling violently in her heart. She couldn't associate Li Changting with such behavior.

She looked at the report, feeling a mixture of confusion and anger.

"Why would he do this?" Qiao Yuyue's voice almost broke. She couldn't accept this cruel reality.

"Because his heart is cold, and his world is only about power and interests." Shen Yue answered without any hesitation, as if she was Li Changting's judge.

Qiao Yuyue clenched her hands into fists, her nails digging deep into her skin, but she felt no pain. Her heart was bleeding at this moment.

"No, this can't be true..." Qiao Yuyue's voice was low and painful. She tried to find a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of hope that Li Changting would not be so ruthless.

However, Shen Yue's words were like an insurmountable mountain, blocking her and the truth.

"Dr. Qiao, sometimes, the thing we are most reluctant to believe is the truth." There was a cruel firmness in her words, as if telling her that this was reality, an inescapable reality.

Qiao Yuyue's vision blurred and tears welled up in her eyes.

She needed answers and needed Li Changting to give her an explanation personally.

"I will go find him. I want to hear it from his own mouth." Qiao Yuyue stood up, holding the report tightly in her hands, like her only support.

Her heart was filled with confusion, but she knew that she had to find Li Changting and find out the truth.

"Go find him?" Shen Yue sneered, "What then after you find him? Will you and your daughter be abandoned again?" She looked at Qiao Yuyue and asked.

She naturally wouldn't let Qiao Yuyue go find Li Changting. After all, she was just making this up.

If Qiao Yuyue went to find Li Changting, then everything she had done would be in vain.

Qiao Yuyue stopped walking, Shen Yue’s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her heart.

"I... I just want an answer." Qiao Yuyue's voice was a little helpless. She looked at Shen Yue, hoping to find a little sympathy and understanding in her eyes.

Shen Yue looked at Qiao Yuyue and sighed secretly in her heart.

She knew that her words had deeply pierced Qiao Yuyue's heart, but for the sake of her plan, she could not let Qiao Yuyue and Li Changting have any contact.

"Doctor Qiao, listen to me," Shen Yue's voice softened a little. She walked to Qiao Yuyue and patted her shoulder gently.

"What you need now is not answers, but protection. The safety of you and the children is more important than anything else. Believe me, I am doing this for your own good."

There was an unquestionable firmness in her words, trying to make Qiao Yuyue believe her.

The hidden meaning in her words was that she hoped Qiao Yuyue could completely rely on her, thus giving her the opportunity to further control the situation.

Qiao Yuyue looked at Shen Yue with mixed feelings.

She was indeed afraid that the truth would bring more harm, especially to the children.

She hesitated, not knowing whether she should believe Shen Yue, but she was very confused now and could only choose to believe this woman who seemed to know some inside information.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Qiao Yuyue compromised. She decided to temporarily put aside the pursuit of Li Changting and ensure the safety of herself and the children first.

Shen Yue nodded with satisfaction, she knew that Qiao Yuyue had fallen into the net she had carefully woven.

Next, she only needed to slowly guide Qiao Yuyue and keep her completely away from Li Changting and the truth that might destroy her.

"Very good, Dr. Joe, I will help you take care of it all. You just need to take care of yourself and the children, and leave the rest to me."

There was a hint of triumph in Shen Yue's tone. She had already begun planning the next step to ensure that Qiao Yuyue was completely dependent on her.

Qiao Yuyue took a deep breath, with doubt and fear intertwined in her heart.

She felt a little uneasy about Shen Yue's promise, but at the moment, she had no choice.

She could only hope that Shen Yue really did what she said and was doing it for the good of her and the children.

Shen Yue looked at Qiao Yuyue's back, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips.

She knew that she had successfully led Qiao Yuyue in the direction she wanted.

The next step is to gradually undermine Qiao Yuyue's trust in Li Changting and completely remove her from that man's life.

However, Shen Yue did not realize that her plan also contained unpredictable variables.

Qiao Yuyue's tenacity and persistence in pursuing the truth may allow her to reveal the truth at the most unlikely moment and disrupt her carefully designed chess game.

Li Nianyu has woken up and is in much better condition than before.

Li Nianyu looked at Qiao Yuyue who was busy in the ward, and her heart was filled with confusion.

She remembered that when she woke up in the hospital, Qiao Yuyue was by her side, but her father was nowhere to be seen.

She tried to find answers, but Qiao Yuyue always avoided her questions about Li Changting.

Li Nianyu decided not to wait any longer. She mustered up her courage and asked in a weak but firm voice, "Aunt Qiao, where is my dad? Why is he not here?"
