“I remember now. Before she met Ye Zhiguo, Yali was particularly happy for a period of time. Every time she met me, she was beaming with joy. When I asked her what was wrong, she wouldn’t say. But after a few months, Yali became unhappy and lost, as if something bad had happened. Not long after that, Yali met Ye Zhiguo.”

Lin Shufang recounted the past, and details she hadn't noticed before have now become clear.

She was someone who had been through it all. She could clearly tell that Xu Yali was immersed in the joy of being in love at that time, which meant that Xu Yali must have had a boyfriend, but she kept it well hidden, and even Xu's grandfather didn't know.

"Moreover, although Yali was dating Ye Zhiguo, she was not happy at all. She didn't even smile at her wedding. I once asked her if she didn't want to marry Ye Zhiguo, so she shouldn't marry him and we could slowly find someone suitable. But Yali just smiled bitterly and said some strange things."

Lin Shufang became more and more frustrated as she spoke. At that time, things were very chaotic and people were in a state of panic. She was the same and didn't have the time to think about Xu Yali's abnormality. If she had thought about it more at that time, maybe Xu Yali would not have married Ye Zhiguo and would not have died tragically!

Lu Mo frowned and shook his head, saying, "Aunt Xu was probably tricked by Ye Zhiguo. Besides, she was pregnant with Qingqing at the time. Even if she didn't marry Ye Zhiguo, she would have to marry another man!"

Let alone in those days, even now, if an unmarried woman gets pregnant, she'll be drowned in gossip.

Xu Yali wanted to keep Ye Qingqing in her womb, and the only way was to find a man to marry. That's why she claimed to the outside world that Ye Qingqing was a premature baby.

"Yali is confused, how could she..." The old man kept shaking his head.

Lin Shufang sighed repeatedly. She could understand Xu Yali. She must be madly in love with that man to want to have his child. But where was that man?

"With so much wealth, how could a man expect to have a good life back then? He either died or ran away!" the old man said irritably.

If this man were still alive, he would definitely beat him up if he saw him. He can barely protect himself, so why would he want to harm Xu Yali?

Lu Mo was somewhat disappointed. Neither his grandfather nor his mother knew who the mysterious man was. Xu Yali had really kept it a secret!

We'll just have to investigate slowly!

Lin Shufang suddenly cried out, "Oh dear... we can't let Qingqing go back to Ye Zhiguo's place. That beast in human form will harm Qingqing!"

The old man also came to his senses and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, go and bring Qing'er to live with us!"

Lu Mo comforted him, "Don't worry, Ye Zhiguo doesn't know that Qingqing already knows about her background. He definitely won't harm Qingqing in the next three years because he wants to get the property."

"Yali is such a deep thinker. She didn't say a word about something so important. Sigh!"

When the old man learned about Xu Yali's arrangements for the inheritance, he couldn't help but sigh. Xu Yali had put a lot of thought into it!

It seems that Xu Yali saw through Ye Zhiguo's true colors long ago. No wonder he hasn't smiled since getting married and always seems preoccupied. It's heartbreaking to see him like this.

********

It's dinnertime at the Ye family's house.

The old lady was preoccupied with the marriage. She asked Ye Qingqing about it in the afternoon, but the girl said she would only tell her when everyone was at dinner. The old lady was too lazy to ask further and was busy making paper boxes to earn money.

She recently found out that she could bring cardboard boxes home and glue them together, and if she was quick, she could earn three or four hundred yuan a month!

The restless old lady immediately filled a large bag with cardboard boxes. After finishing her housework, she kept pasting the boxes while watching Shuiyunjian. She was quite fast and could earn five or six yuan a day. The old lady was very satisfied.

"What did the Lu family say? When will they come to propose marriage?" the old lady asked.
