Chapter 111 Please, Don’t Tell Yanyan About This
At this point, Cheng Qing's eyes were already red.
The moment tears welled up in her eyes, she quickly raised her hand to wipe them away.
She tried to calm down, sniffed, and sighed, "So, facing such a good Yanyan, I didn't have the courage to tell her that we went to the same high school. I even watched her being bullied but didn't stand up to help her..."
After hearing this, Xing Yu's expression remained unchanged.
But when I held the coffee cup, my fingertips turned white because I held it too tightly.
He tilted his head back and drank half of the cup of coffee.
He put down the cup and his hands couldn't stop shaking slightly.
Cheng Qing took out his cell phone, found Gao Yun's number and handed it to him.
"Xing Yu, everything I said today is not a lie. If you don't believe me, you can call Gao Yun and ask her yourself to see if I'm lying..."
Xing Yu took the phone without hesitation and walked out.
When he came back after finishing the call, he returned the phone to Cheng Qing with a sullen face.
"Sorry for disturbing you today, please go back first."
"Xing Yu." Cheng Qing frowned and begged him, "Please, don't tell Yanyan about this. She's my most important friend, I'm afraid she'd know..."
"Yeah." Xing Yu interrupted coldly: "I know."
After Cheng Qing left, Xing Yu leaned weakly against the chair.
The dull pain in my heart could no longer be suppressed.
In fact, yesterday, he had gone to Changwu Middle School to inquire about Cheng Qing, and also found out about Gao Yun, Cheng Qing's inseparable best friend in high school.
One of their classmates worked in the local area, and he went to her home in person. Everything he learned from her was almost the same as what Cheng Qing said.
He couldn't imagine how Lin Yan, at the age of sixteen, had managed to survive the groundless rumors and bullying when she was isolated and helpless...
I can't even imagine the cruel circumstances under which the scars on her back were left...
This was just the tip of the iceberg of what he knew. How much more shocking would those scars hidden in her heart and the past that he didn't know about be?
He closed his eyes and forced himself to block out his thoughts.
After calming down, he could conclude that what Cheng Qing said was a mixture of truth and lies, and that he was definitely hiding something from him.
There are too many holes in her statement.
For example, why did she wear school uniforms when she and Gao Yun went out to take photos on the weekend?
After all these years, why did Cheng Qing keep that photo so well? What was her purpose in keeping it?
Why did he go to Changwu Middle School to inquire about Lin Yan? He looked for her former teachers, and they all said that Lin Yan was quiet and well-behaved, and no one bullied her. Even her teachers and classmates liked her very much.
It has absolutely nothing to do with what Cheng Qing said.
What happened to Lin Yan was more complicated than he had imagined.
We have to continue investigating.
On the other side, Cheng Qing returned to the community.
Instead of going upstairs immediately, he sat in the second-hand car he had been driving for several years, feeling anxious.
She held the steering wheel with both hands and buried her head between her arms.
Falling into endless panic...
That afternoon, she was in the hospital.
But she was still worried about her second baby, so she turned on the wireless monitoring connected to her mobile phone to see if Lin Yan and the others could take care of the child.
She didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
Xing Yu knocked the book to the ground, and the photos in the book fell out...
That was a secret she had hidden deep in her heart for many years, how could she let others expose it so easily?
She expected that given Xing Yu's concern for Lin Yan, he would definitely investigate further.
So I contacted Gao Yun in advance and went back to Changwu Middle School to find the principal overnight.
Even her classmate who worked locally was an actor whom she deliberately bribed for a thousand yuan.
All this was done to dispel Xing Yu's doubts...
As I was thinking, the phone rang.
She was startled by the ringing of her cell phone.
When I picked it up, it was Gao Yun.
After taking a deep breath, she answered the call: "You didn't reveal any flaws when you were talking to Xing Yu just now, did you?"
Gao Yun: "No, I told him what happened according to the words we agreed on in advance."
"How did he react? Did he doubt it? Did he believe you?"
"I heard his voice was very calm, so he must have believed it."
"That's good... I hope this matter is over now."
Gao Yun was silent for a moment and reminded her carefully.
"Cheng Qing, once something gets leaked, there's no way to stop it. I think it's just a matter of time. Lin Yan's incident was such a big deal back then, even though there were people suppressing it from above, it couldn't withstand investigation. You... need to be mentally prepared..."
Cheng Qing knew it very well in his heart, but he just didn't want to face the consequences after Lin Yan knew the truth.
"Let's keep it a secret for as long as we can. I was wrong to her back then, but I... I really cherish her as a friend..."
…
On the other side, after Lin Yan finished her meeting at the Translation Master's School, she returned to the office and immediately called Zhou Gang back.
I was in a meeting just now and it was not convenient for me to answer the phone, so I hung up.
After calling, I found out that Zhou Gang had come to Jingbei and was now downstairs of her company.
Lin Yan hurried downstairs and saw Zhou Gang, who was holding a cloth bag and looking a little uneasy at the door.
She walked up quickly and took the things from his hand: "Uncle, why did you come to Jingbei? Why didn't you call me in advance?"
Zhou Gang smiled amiably: "Aren't you worried about affecting your work?"
"When did you arrive? Why didn't you go sit in the lobby and wait for me?"
"The security guard at the door saw my attire and probably thought I wasn't from the company, so he didn't let me in." Zhou Gang, with a kind and honest look on his face, pointed at the cloth bag in her hand and said, "Yan Yan, your uncle brought you some local specialties from home. Remember to eat them when you get back."
Lin Yan looked at him with sunken cheeks and a sallow complexion.
My heart suddenly felt sour.
Took Zhou Gang to her office.
Zhou Gang sat on the sofa, rubbing his knees and looking at the spacious and independent office, looking very reserved.
"Yan Yan, are you the only one in this office? It's even bigger than our living room."
Lin Yan poured him a glass of water and sat beside him, looking at him.
"Uncle, how is your recovery? Are there any sequelae of the car accident?"
"It's okay!" Zhou Gang: "Uncle is in good health, don't worry."
Zhou Gang always told her good news but never bad news, and she was used to it.
"Why did you come to Jingbei suddenly?"
Zhou Gang sighed, and his mood dropped a bit.
"Yueyue is divorced. Your aunt and I are worried, so we came to Jingbei to see her."
"Divorce? Aren't she and her brother-in-law getting along well?"
When we met during the Chinese New Year, he was wearing a big Mercedes and a gold bracelet.
How did you get divorced?
