Chapter 95 Gloating over misfortune
Chapter 95 Gloating over misfortune
Su Yiran was still engrossed in the documents when she was startled by Gu Yanli's casual remark.
"So many years have passed, and the details are too detailed. That's the problem. You can check it out; all this information is fake."
Gu Yanli pointed to the information on the document, "Here, a primary school was built ten years ago... Here, this area is all villa area, there's no such thing as five or ten villas, and here..."
As Gu Yanli spoke, he took out his phone to check the map, and sure enough, none of them could be found.
"Damn it!"
Su Yiran cursed, "This is so unprofessional! I paid a deposit, and it's just gone like that? It was so expensive!"
Su Yiran became more and more aggrieved as she spoke.
Losing money for no reason is more upsetting than seeing a stack of money blown away on the ground and not being able to pick it up.
"It's good to learn a lesson if you're not careful in your actions."
"...You're laughing at me, you're gloating, but how did they know I was investigating this?"
at the same time.
Liu family.
Sitting on the sofa, Liu's mother was sweating profusely and trembling all over. "What should we do? Su Yiran is already investigating what happened back then. She has Mr. Gu behind her. If she finds out anything, we're finished."
Two lives were lost back then. If Su Yiran were to find out the truth, the Liu family would be finished.
Mr. Liu frowned and shouted angrily, "What are you afraid of? I've already spent a lot of money to have that private investigator change the information. More than ten years have passed. It's not that easy for her to investigate. Besides, we're not the ones who least want to have what happened back then brought up again."
Mother Liu was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Who is it?"
"He's definitely involved in what happened back then!"
Mr. Liu said coldly, "And you, I told you to throw those things away a long time ago, why did you keep that business card? Did a donkey kick your brain? Now look what's happened, someone has caught you red-handed!"
"Are you starting to blame me now?"
Liu's mother rolled her eyes at him, "I had my face altered for you back then. I've lived with this face for over ten years. Even Jiaojiao, my own daughter, I see her every day, but I can't acknowledge her or tell her the truth. Do you know how much pain I've suffered?"
"Enough!" Mr. Liu said impatiently. "What's the point of saying all this now? We can just tell her at a suitable time later. Stop wasting time talking... Jiaojiao?"
As Mr. Liu spoke, he looked at Liu Jiaojiao who had walked in.
Upon hearing this, Liu's mother turned around and saw Liu Jiaojiao standing in the entryway. She glanced at Liu's father subconsciously before walking over with a smile. "Jiaojiao, why are you back at this hour? Where's Chengjing? Didn't he come back with you?"
With red eyes, Liu Jiaojiao looked at the two people in front of her and shook her head incredulously, "Are the things you just said true?"
Liu's mother and father remained silent, not saying a word.
"say something!"
"Jiaojiao."
Liu's mother held Liu Jiaojiao's hand.
"Don't touch me!"
Liu Jiaojiao roared, shaking her head in disbelief, and pushed away her mother. "No wonder Su Yiran said you were my biological mother last time. I always thought she was talking nonsense, but I didn't expect that what she said was true. But why, why are you treating me like this?"
Seeing her own daughter like this, Liu's mother's eyes reddened, and she couldn't help but cry, "Jiaojiao, my good daughter, we had our reasons for doing this, please don't be angry, we..."
"Why say so much!"
Liu's father spoke up, looking at Liu Jiaojiao, "Why did you come back alone today? Where is Chengjing? You have such a bad temper, did you upset him again?"
"father!"
Liu Jiaojiao frowned deeply. "I am also a member of this family. You are still keeping this from me and want me to stay longer. I have the right to know the truth."
"The truth? What more truth do you need? What you see with your own eyes right now is the truth!"
Mr. Liu said coldly, "Mind your own business. Your priority now is to stay in the Gu family and stay by Chengjing's side. Other matters are none of your concern."
"father!"
Liu Jiaojiao looked at him.
"Chengjing is now completely obsessed with that bitch Su Yiran. Today he even said in public that he wants to divorce me and marry her!"
"You're useless. Can't you figure out a solution yourself? You did it before, but you can't do it now?"
Father Liu waved his hand, “You go back to the Gu family right now and deal with your relationship properly. Bring Chengjing back for a meal a week from now.”
After saying that, Liu's father went upstairs.
"father!"
Liu Jiaojiao watched his retreating figure, wanting to catch up, but was stopped by her mother, "Business at home has been bad lately, and your father is in a bad mood. If you have something to say, wait until he calms down."
"you--"
Liu Jiaojiao looked at her mother, stomped her foot, and left.

Su Yiran was tricked by a private investigator and swindled out of a sum of money, which made her unhappy for several days.
When Meng Ran heard her tell the story and saw her like this, she couldn't help but laugh, "Mrs. Gu, with your current status, a mere hundred thousand is just a drop in the ocean, nothing at all. Is it necessary to be so angry?"
"This is different!"
Su Yiran retorted, "I'd rather my money had been stolen or lost than believe I was scammed and made to look like an idiot."
It's worse than eating shit.
"Alright, alright, let me comfort little Yiyi."
Meng Ran combed her hair a little. "So, how about now? Hire a private investigator again?"
“The Liu family already knows I’m investigating this matter, so those detectives outside are probably no longer useful. But no matter how much they have on their minds, they can’t possibly focus their attention on Gu Yanli.”
"Exactly! You're using readily available resources, I could slap you twice to wake you up."
There were some concerns in my mind that I didn't directly ask Gu Yanli to take action before.
As for what her concerns were, she couldn't say.
Two days ago, Madam Lan brought back some tea from the auction. She thought it tasted good, so she brought some over.
"smell good."
Smelling the aroma of tea, Meng Ran smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Gu's mother was a big winner at the auction, acquiring nearly half of the items. She just said, 'My daughter-in-law likes them.' Now you're famous in the auction world."
Su Yiran had heard of this.
When Madam Lan returned, she brought bags and bags, ranging from large jewelry pieces to small collectible teacups.
When Madam Lan goes out shopping, she doesn't buy anything for herself, but buys everything for her.
The master bedroom's walk-in closet was already too big to fit everything, so they converted an adjacent closet into a new one. At this rate, it probably won't last more than a few days.
Meng Ran sighed, "I also want a mother-in-law like that, without complicated mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts, and who can pamper me like a daughter. Just thinking about it makes me feel so happy."
Madam Lan was indeed impeccably good to her.
"How are things going between you and that Mr. Song?"
