Chapter 116 Encounter
Gao Chengze looked at her troubled and sad expression and continued, "I know a lawyer who specializes in cases like this. If your brother was really framed by his accomplices, the problem would be easy to resolve. I'll contact him now and ask him to come out and talk."
Su Xiao was shocked, then subconsciously refused, "No need, senior."
"But can you handle it yourself? Su Xiao, don't lie to me. From your situation just now, it's obvious that you have no clue. If that's the case, why don't you let me help you?"
Su Xiao looked at him with tears in her eyes and shook her head. She didn't want to owe him a favor, after all, she couldn't repay it!
But Gao Chengze didn't think about all this. He insisted on helping her, and she had no way of refusing. Besides, she really had no idea. The image of her brother hysterically shouting to get out was deeply imprinted in her mind, like a sharp knife stabbing her all the time.
Soon, Gao Chengze took Su Xiao to see the lawyer. The lawyer understood the situation clearly and gave the same answer as Gao Chengze said: this matter was not difficult.
The main task now is to find that group of people, or at least to find Su Yutao’s junior high school classmate He Mingjie.
He Mingjie and Su Yutao used to have close contacts and were considered close buddies. When Su Xiao was a child, she often went to He Mingjie's house with her brother.
Thanks to his smart and capable mother, Su Yutao was able to live in a new house. However, He Mingjie's father was a gambler and died accidentally while being chased by loan sharks when He Mingjie was very young. His mother remarried, leaving him alone to grow up with his grandmother, living in a small, dilapidated house of more than 30 square meters.
In the simple house, a hunched old lady sat in a chair in a daze, her eyes a little blurry. Seeing the people coming, she asked, "Who are you? Are you here to look for Mingjie? I don't know where he died. Go back."
"Grandma He, I'm Xiaoxiao." Su Xiao put away her sadness and walked forward and said politely.
The old lady narrowed her eyes after hearing this and looked at Su Xiao, "Are you Xiaoxiao? The girl from the Su family?"
"Well, my brother and Mingjie are good classmates."
"I remember now. You've grown up so much now? You're really pretty. Your brother is lucky to have a sister. Unlike Mingjie, he has nothing. If he dies in the future, I'm afraid there won't even be anyone to send him off."
Since coming in, Su Xiao has heard the old lady say these words twice, and she couldn't help but feel the old lady's helplessness. If she wasn't desperate, who would be willing to curse her grandson like this?
I remember when she was a child, she came here to play with her brother. Grandma He still loved He Mingjie very much. Although she often nagged and scolded her, that was a kind of expectation and education of parents for their children, which was completely different from the despair and giving up now.
Su Xiao sniffed and saw the old lady crawling with difficulty to get something. She couldn't help but reach out to help, but there was a pair of hands that was one step faster than hers.
Gao Chengze helped the old lady take the things down and handed them to her respectfully.
The old lady also saw Gao Chengze and said, "Is this Xiaoxiao's boyfriend? He's so handsome, he looks like a good man. Xiaoxiao is lucky, no, it's Xiaoma Xiurong who is lucky."
Next, Su Xiao was in trouble.
According to the plan, Su Xiao originally intended to come and ask Grandma He if she could find He Mingjie's whereabouts, but at this moment, Su Xiao couldn't say a word.
Finally, she sat with Grandma He for a while, left a few hundred dollars for Grandma He, and left the He family.
Coming out of the dilapidated building, Su Xiao sat on the doorstep.
I remember when she was a child, every time she came here with her brother, she would sit here alone, looking from the beginning to the end of the street, and then wait for her brother to finish playing and take her home.
At that time, Grandma He ran out from time to time, took some candy for her to eat, and then put some in a small bag for her to take home.
"Don't you think it would be great if everyone in this world could live a good life?" Su Xiao murmured with tears in her eyes.
Gao Chengze stood beside her, looking at her sad face, knowing why she was sighing.
In fact, this was the first time in his life that he had seen such a dilapidated house. It was really sad to see an old lady living a lonely and helpless life.
What's more, she is so kind.
From their conversation, it can be seen that they once had a very close relationship, and he must be feeling even worse.
"It doesn't matter. We can find evidence from other channels, not necessarily through Grandma He." Gao Chengze said after a while.
Su Xiao remained silent, still feeling extremely sad.
Even if Grandma He doesn't know about it now, she will still know about it when He Mingjie is caught and sentenced to seven years in prison.
It’s been seven years. I don’t know if Grandma He can still wait for He Mingjie to come out.
"You haven't eaten lunch yet, let's go eat first. Even if you don't want to eat, you still have to take care of the baby." Gao Chengze continued to say with concern.
This is the only motivation.
Su Xiao followed his instructions and went to a restaurant, but unexpectedly, Yun Che was also having dinner with a business partner in this restaurant.
Su Xiao only discovered it after the dishes were served. It was difficult for her to leave. Her eyes happened to meet Yun Che's, and that one look concealed countless pieces of information.
Su Xiao quickly looked away. It wasn't that she felt guilty, as she had been frank with Gao Chengze. However, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart, and kept thinking about his cold and sinister eyes.
Gao Chengze was not clear about the relationship between Su Xiao and Yun Che. He only knew that Yun Che was the one who ruined Su Xiao's innocence. He had long since changed his opinion of Yun Che, and his previous admiration for Yun Che had turned into hatred and anger.
Therefore, the look in his eyes when he looked at Yun Che naturally carried a hint of grief and indignation.
Yun Che saw this as the hatred of a love rival, and his handsome face couldn't help but become even gloomier.
Even the customers noticed it, "Boss Yun, is the food not to your liking?"
"Oh, no." Yun Che said absentmindedly.
The customer continued to feel strange. Although Yun Che was usually very cold and would not take the initiative to get acquainted, he still had the necessary courtesy. But today he seemed very angry?
We have just reached a cooperation. Are there some terms that do not meet his expectations?
The customer couldn't help but feel nervous, afraid of offending him and didn't dare to say more.
Su Xiao also had no appetite for her meal, so Gao Chengze advised her, "I know you don't want to cause trouble. In that case, just pretend you don't know him. Eat well and don't starve the baby, otherwise the baby will blame you when he comes out."
The last sentence was joking, and Su Xiao couldn't help but smile at him.
Yes, nothing is more important than your baby, put your baby first!
Su Xiao's appetite improved a lot, and she ate with relish.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
It was Yun Che who sent her a message, "Go back!"
Su Xiao was stunned, then ignored him.
Yun Che continued, "Didn't you listen to me? Go back to the company right now!"
Su Xiao simply turned off her phone.
Yun Che was absolutely furious watching this, but unfortunately, the guests were there, and in public, so he couldn't just rush over.
Su Xiao left the restaurant after she had finished her meal. Gao Chengze insisted on seeing her off, and she accepted.
As soon as I arrived at the company, Yun Che called me to the top floor.
