"Xiao... Xiaoqi..."
When Zhao Hong saw the person at the door, she subconsciously hid the money in her hand behind her back, "You... why are you here?"
"Gambling again?" Meng Qidi glanced at the bag of money in her hand with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. It turned out that a dog will never change its eating habits.
"No...how is that possible, I...I don't have any money..." Zhao Hong tightly grasped the money in her hand, fearing that she would snatch it away.
Meng Qidi sneered, "Does Meng Yuzhen know that you used the money she gave you to gamble and didn't pay it back?"
"How is that possible! Don't talk nonsense." Zhao Hong's voice became louder.
Meng Qidi chuckled and turned around and walked in directly, "I have something to talk to you about."
"What, what's the matter?" Zhao Hong hurriedly followed him into the yard.
Sitting down on the stone bench in the yard, Meng Qidi said in a cold voice, "Sit down."
"I...what do you want from me?" Zhao Hong felt that she was becoming more and more afraid of Meng Qidi. She felt scared just sitting there...
Meng Qidi raised her eyebrows.
Zhao Hong sat down almost immediately.
She wasn't sure what Meng Qidi wanted to talk to her about.
"What on earth..."
Meng Qidi looked at her and said, "How did you bring me back then? When you answer this question, I advise you to think it over carefully. I have a bad temper."
"I just... I found it on the street. I guess your family dislikes you because you are a girl..."
Meng Qidi sneered, "Oh, you said Meng Yuzhen knew that you had the money but didn't pay back the debt, do you think she will still care about you in the future?"
Zhao Hong gasped, "I don't understand what you are talking about. I am telling the truth."
"Twenty years ago, you took a baby girl away from the Beijing People's Hospital, right? Zhao Hong, let me guess, how did you get to Beijing? Did you sneak across the border? Or was it..."
"How do you know..." Zhao Hong stood up almost subconsciously, but when she realized she had lost her composure, she paused, slowly sat down, and calmed down.
"Do you think you have something on me, or do you think I stole you from the big hospital?"
"It was my mother who asked you to bring me out, or she promised you a lot of benefits, right?" Meng Qidi said lightly.
With Zhao Hong's greedy character, she would definitely be willing to take her out secretly.
"Since you have guessed it, why are you asking me?"
"I want to know the details."
Zhao Hong pursed her lips and stood up to close the door.
Meng Qidi lowered her eyes slightly, very patient.
Sitting down opposite Meng Qidi, Zhao Hong clenched her hands and said, "You can let me tell you, but you can't tell Yuzhen about what happened today."
What happened to a dead person cannot compare to what is happening now.
"Can."
Only after Meng Qidi agreed did Zhao Hong dare to speak.
"I didn't meet Meng Meiling in the hospital that year. On the contrary, I saved her. You guessed it right. I went to Beijing secretly with the intention of exchanging children. I wanted to move my daughter to a wealthy family and let her become a rich lady. Unfortunately..."
Zhao Hong laughed to herself, "Unfortunately, God was blind. I was forced to get off the train outside Beijing with my child in my arms. I was kicked off the train just because I sneaked across the border. Then I was caught tightly by Meng Meiling, who was covered in blood."
She was very scared at the time, and when she heard a dog barking not far away, she subconsciously took Meng Meiling away, which ended up getting her into trouble.
Meng Meiling and her husband were hit and nearly killed. When they were captured, she took advantage of the kidnappers' inattention to escape, but the blood under her body was too conspicuous, so she could only wade across the river...
After finally finding a way to get rid of the pursuit, Meng Meiling's stomach started to move. Not only did she give birth to a daughter, but she was only one breath away. Before she died, she forced her to swear not to abandon her daughter, otherwise she would live in poverty for the rest of her life...
When I was unlucky, I couldn't even drink water. I had planned to take my youngest daughter to be replaced when I came from my hometown, but she had a fever that night and went with Meng Meiling...
She could only take Meng Meiling's child and the pitiful amount of money she left back home. It's not that she didn't think about abandoning the child, but she was afraid of poverty...
So I raised him for almost twenty years, and raised a rival...
Meng Qidi asked, "Do you know who is chasing her?"
Zhao Hong shook her head. "I didn't even have time to escape, how would I know..."
Zhao Hong looked at her suspiciously, "You don't want revenge, do you? Who are you going to take revenge on? I don't know who your mother belongs to, so it's useless for you to ask."
If she hadn't been afraid of Meng Meiling's dying threat, she would have been a fool to support such a burden.
She muttered to herself, raised her head and met Meng Qidi's mocking gaze. She paused, "You don't believe it?"
Meng Qidi sneered, "You are a person who will not do anything without profit. What did my mother promise you back then?"
Zhao Hong knew that she couldn't hide it any longer, so she just told him everything. "No, she didn't say anything. She said she hoped you would stay in our family forever and didn't want you to get involved in the gossip in Beijing..."
Yes, I was planning to make a missing person notice. Whether it was an enemy or your relative, I could sell them for a good price. Unfortunately, you have a good mother. She gave me all the valuables on her body and forced me to swear..."
After Meng Meiling died, she dug a grave to bury her, but due to external factors, such as refugees, she didn't have time to bury her.
In fact, she also wanted to send Meng Qidi to Beijing. She didn't believe that a dead person could do anything to her. But before she left, the famine came. Beijing was full of refugees at that time. She was afraid that the refugees would rob her of her money, so she had to take the train back to her hometown in a hurry...
The baby grows stronger in the confinement period, and when she brought the baby back, no one doubted it...
"Where is she buried?"
"It's been... twenty years. I'm afraid your mother's bones have melted away. And that place has changed so much. If you want to find it, you have to..."
Zhao Hong didn't want to go. Not to mention that she didn't dare to go this evening, she didn't dare to go because of what Meng Meiling had said when she threatened her.
Meng Qidi tapped the table lightly with her fingers, "Meng Yuzhen..."
"Go! Should we walk now or take a taxi?" asked Zhao Hong.
"Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call. You lead the way, so you don't have to go up."
Hearing that she didn't have to go, Zhao Hong breathed a sigh of relief. She was even somewhat glad that Meng Qidi didn't ask what Meng Meiling had left for her. Even Meng Daqiang didn't know about the money because she had already spent it bit by bit...
Meng Qidi went to the store at the door to make a phone call. Less than ten minutes later, a Santana stopped at the door. Seeing Yi Bo get out of the car, Meng Qidi went out to greet him.
Zhao Hong hurriedly followed him. Yi Bo's face was covered with scars, and she didn't dare to look directly at him. She wanted to look away, but she was afraid of Xiao Qi behind her. When she shifted her gaze, she met the gaze of the man in the back seat of the car. She was so shocked that she almost fell down.
Meng Qidi, who was talking to Yi Bo, glanced at him and then remembered what happened at the banquet. It was really a narrow road for enemies to meet, but...
Mr. Qiu San didn't even glance at her, as if he didn't know Zhao Hong.
Zhao Hong breathed a sigh of relief.
