Chapter 1870 Inquiry
Gu Hanye asked back, "Aren't you the same?"
Xiao Chongyang smiled bitterly: "I only have Ajun, but there is still a wall between Ajun and me."
Su Jiuyao was stunned for a moment, feeling a little surprised at Xiao Chongyang's sudden sentimentality and literary style.
Looking at Gu Hanye, he just smiled and did not agree with Xiao Chongyang's words.
Yes, it feels hypocritical when a murderer opens up to you, doesn't it?
No matter how much truth or falsehood there was in Xiao Chongyang's words, Gu Hanye was not his son, so there was no need for him to share his loneliness and coldness.
Even if he is really lonely and cold, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
In any case, Su Jiuyao had no sympathy for the person who wanted to harm Han Ye.
Perhaps sensing their indifference, Xiao Chongyang didn't say anything further.
At this time, Gu Hanye and Su Jiuyao had also finished their meal, so Xiao Chongyang stood up with the help of the table. This action of standing up revealed his old age.
"Han Ye, Jiuyao, let's go sit in the garden at the back." As he said this, he made a "please" gesture.
"Okay." Gu Hanye then stood up, and Su Jiuyao also stood up.
So the three of them came to the back garden, under the pavilion.
Facing the green lawn, sitting on wooden chairs, Su Jiuyao and Gu Hanye sat on the same side, and Xiao Chongyang sat opposite them.
The servant brought scented tea.
Su Jiuyao took a sip and it tasted the same as the tea she usually made at home.
The young master taught her how to make that tea.
It seems that Xiao Chongyang taught the young master, and the young master taught her.
Thinking about this, she realized that the person sitting in front of her was her master...
Although she didn't want to call Xiao Chongyang that at all.
"I heard that your stepmother's case is still under trial." Xiao Chongyang took a sip of tea and asked casually.
"yes."
Obviously, Gu Hanye had no intention of expanding the topic.
But Xiao Chongyang continued, "A friend of mine who works at the court told me that she was involved in your mother's death. I'd like to ask, did she do anything to your mother?"
Xiao Chongyang stared into Han Ye's eyes, as if Han Ye's answer was very important to him.
Gu Hanye took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Only Chen Xiaofeng knows the specific situation, but she won't admit anything. I don't know what she did either."
"Then why continue to accuse her of this crime?"
"This is what my father meant. If you want to know, you can ask my father."
Su Jiuyao held the small teacup and glanced at Gu Hanye secretly. He certainly knew how Chen Xiaofeng harmed his mother, but he obviously didn't want to tell Xiao Chongyang.
The last time when they were having breakfast in the town of Melk, the young master mentioned Xiao Chongyang. The young master said that he heard from Xiao Chongyang's wife that the only person Xiao Chongyang had ever loved was Han Ye's mother. Back then, Xiao Chongyang had even reached the stage of discussing marriage with Han Ye's mother.
But no one knows what happened later. The two broke up, and then Han Ye's mother married into the Gu family.
The young master guessed that Xiao Chongyang's hatred for the Gu family was formed at that time.
Gu Hanye didn't continue the conversation at that time and was very resistant.
It would be a big shock for everyone to know that their mother and the bad guy were once lovers.
It is completely understandable that Han Ye doesn’t want to talk to Xiao about his mother now.
Gu Hanye didn't talk to him in depth. Xiao Chongyang smiled bitterly and looked into the distance.
It was a cloudy day, the afternoon sun was not strong and the wind was gentle.
None of the three spoke, so Su Jiuyao had no choice but to be patient and look at the grass, the trees, and the little butterflies in the distance... It was so boring.
"Is this what Mr. Xiao wants to tell me?" Gu Hanye was the first to break the silence, showing his impatience.
Xiao Chongyang was silent for a moment, then he withdrew his gaze from afar and landed on Han Ye's face: "No, it's more than that."
