"By the way, last time you mentioned my mom, I've already checked. My mom is drinking coffee in the mall right now. This is a rare opportunity. Come with me to block her." After finishing his business, Mo Boyu brought it up again.
Ning Yichu's eyes lit up. She had been worried that she would not have the chance to meet her aunt.
She immediately picked up her bag and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
…
The two drove to a large high-end shopping mall.
The top floor here is almost exclusively for serving the wealthy. In addition to various luxury stores, there are also beauty SPA salons, indoor golf and other venues.
When Ning Yichu and Mo Boyu arrived, Shen Zilan was having a beauty treatment.
She had just had a hydrating injection, and the skin on her face was fair and tender. In an instant, she seemed to have returned to her youth. Because she took good care of herself, her age is basically invisible now.
On a circle of sofas, Shen Zilan sat there with her eyes narrowed. The nurse had just brought some fresh fruit. She had a mask on her face and was enjoying it very much.
"aunt!"
This state was broken by a voice.
She turned her head and saw Mo Boyu and Ning Yichu striding towards her. She was suddenly startled and didn't want to do the mask or the follow-up treatment anymore. She picked up her bag and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, Ning Yichu had already blocked her way with a smile, "Auntie, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here. Mr. Mo and I just happened to come here for something. Oh, by the way, didn't we say we wanted to talk last time? Let's talk now!"
"No, no..." Chen Zilan knew why she came, "I have something else..."
"Mom, are you talking about the next course of treatment? I have asked the doctor to postpone your appointment." Mo Boyu said with a smile.
Chen Zilan: ...
Now there is no way to make excuses or leave, because she hasn’t even taken off the mask on her face!
As a last resort, he could only sit there, his eyes somewhat evasive. "What do you want to ask? Let me be clear, I don't know much."
Ning Yichu raised his brows slightly.
She wasn't polite either. "Aunt, since you were close to my mother back then, do you know who she was dating when she was pregnant with me?"
"I'm not sure..." Chen Zilan looked around and said something else, "Your mother had a very hard time getting pregnant. Plus, the Ning family was not happy about her getting pregnant out of wedlock, so I rarely went to see her."
"Aunt, I might as well be frank with you. I've researched my background and have a rough idea of it, but I'm not sure who my father is. I also want to know the truth of what happened back then..."
"I……"
Ning Yichu seemed to have predicted that Shen Zilan would refuse, and did not give her a chance to refute. He continued, "You are my mother's best friend. Even if you don't know who my biological father is, you must know who my mother has been close to."
Shen Zilan became visibly nervous.
She didn't know what Ning Qingwan said, and she was afraid of letting the cat out of the bag.
Chen Zilan's eyes turned a few times, "Chu Chu, these things have happened a long time ago. Qing Wan doesn't want you to know, so it's better for you not to check..."
"My biological father is related to Gu Sinan, right?"
Ning Yichu's straightforward question made Shen Zilan feel like she was struck by lightning, and she stood there in a daze.
Her voice trembled a little, "No..."
Seeing that she was not in a good condition, Ning Yichu tightened his grip slightly. Could it really be Gu Sinan?
Was the call Ning Qingwan made in the middle of the night also to him? But Gu Sinan was not a shameful person, so why did they stop her?
Ning Yichu felt a little uneasy, "Aunt, this truth is very important to me, please tell me..."
"No... don't ask me. I'm just a bystander and don't have the right to tell you without permission..." Chen Zilan avoided Ning Yichu's gaze, "You really shouldn't continue investigating these things. I'm doing this for your own good..."
"Why?!"
Ning Qingwan stopped her, and so did Shen Zilan!
Chen Zilan stood up in a panic, "I know, it will only make you more miserable!"
After throwing out these words without any context, Shen Zilan fled in panic.
Mo Boyu called her, but Shen Zilan seemed not to hear and left directly.
Ning Yichu didn't chase after her anymore. The conversation just now kept flashing through his mind. What did it mean that she would be in pain if she knew?
What on earth happened back then?!
She would be in pain. The only possibility was that she was an illegitimate daughter, but Gu Chengye was several years older than her. Wouldn't Mr. Gu have been married by then? And Ning Qingwan was proud and arrogant. There was no way she would be a mistress...
Where on earth did it all go wrong?
Mo Boyu looked at her panicked eyes, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, "Chu Chu, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it for now. There are so many things going on here, and it won't be sorted out in a short time."
"Mo Boyu, thank you for today..." Ning Yichu forced a smile and took a deep breath, "I offended my aunt today. Please apologize to her on my behalf..."
"Then I'll take you back."
Ning Yichu did not refuse, "Okay."
Deep down, she seemed to have an intuition telling her that only by finding out the truth could she understand why Ning Qingwan was so opposed to her and Li Lingyang being together.
There is nothing to be gained from Chen Zilan now. After blocking her this time, Chen Zilan will definitely not want to meet her again.
It seems that the only way is to start from somewhere else...
After returning home, Ning Yichu told Li Lingyang the whole story without hesitation.
She knew that Li Lingyang had actually been investigating secretly.
After listening to this, Li Lingyang made a phone call without saying anything, and then told Ning Yichu, "I'll have someone follow Shen Zilan to see if she will meet Gu Sinan next."
Ning Yichu's blocking today was like alerting the enemy. If she could record her conversation with Gu Sinan, then everything would be solved...
