Chapter 162 Hidden secrets
Chen Yue felt this pressure and was frightened. He lowered his head and explained: "I'm sorry, I think I said something wrong."
Finally, the man slowly spoke, his voice calm yet icy enough to make people shudder. "Annie's daughter and Su Zhenwen did have a child, but at that time, Su Zhenwen was having an affair with his current wife, Zheng Shuying. Coincidentally, the date Zheng Shuying became pregnant was very close to the date Annie's daughter became pregnant."
After hearing the man's words, Chen Yue couldn't help but ask, her eyes filled with questions and surprise: "So, it's very likely that she is the granddaughter Annie has been looking for? But why is Su Zhenwen so cold and indifferent to her? Doesn't everyone say that he treats Annie's daughter very well? Is there something hidden here?"
Faced with such a question, the man's lips curled into a mocking smile, as if he had already seen through the whole truth. "So-called 'good'? It's just because she's attracted to the benefits that can be gained from her background. She gave up her own family—the Chen family—for love, but in return she was left with nothing. To Su Zhenwen, she has lost her value."
After hearing all this, Chen Yue couldn't help but sigh and shook his head. "What a pitiful person! You know, Annie is now anxious to find her granddaughter who has been stranded outside, and plans to leave a large amount of the family wealth to that girl as an inheritance. If Su Zhenwen knew about this, he would probably regret it to death."
In response to Chen Yue's speculation, the man gave a firm answer: "Handing over the inheritance? That's impossible."
When Chen Yue wanted to ask something more, the car window began to slowly rise.
The glass gradually obscured her vision, preventing her from asking further questions.
Before the window closed completely, the man said one last thing: "Once I confirm her identity, I will tell you all the details. But before that, please don't take any action."
Although his tone was calm, it carried undeniable power.
After saying that, the man quickly opened the passenger door and sat down in the seat so agilely that no one could see clearly.
Then, after hearing the slight sound of the engine starting, the vehicle started slowly, and in a flash it had driven a distance and finally disappeared at the end of the street.
Chen Yue was still standing at the entrance of the alley, her eyes following the taillights of the car that had just gone away until the last ray of light was swallowed up by the night. Then, she sighed softly, turned around and walked outside with a look of loss on her face.
My steps were a little heavy, and I felt particularly lonely and helpless in this place that suddenly became extremely empty and unfamiliar.
She was extremely depressed and walked aimlessly on the road.
Everything around her seemed to have lost its color to her. Even the sounds of people flowing by, which should have been familiar, now sounded just noisy.
Every step forward feels like dragging a heavy lead.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front without warning, blocking the way.
This sudden obstruction made her stop involuntarily and look up, but she didn't expect that the person coming would be a familiar friend.
"Where on earth have you been? Why didn't you come back for so long?"
Su Yanqing's voice was full of concern, even with a hint of subtle reproach, and it reached her ears directly.
This scene made the unprepared Chen Yue stunned on the spot. His heart skipped a beat and he looked at the other party at a loss. He wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words.
After noticing her friend's strange reaction, Su Yanqing became even more worried.
She frowned slightly and looked carefully behind the other person.
Apart from the pedestrians who were walking hurriedly with different expressions on their faces but obviously not caring about it, nothing unusual was found.
"Hey, Sister Yanqing, why are you here?"
Chen Yue hurriedly stepped forward and took the other person's arm, trying to divert attention from the previous abnormality.
At the same time, she keenly noticed that Su Yanqing was holding a small bag that looked quite delicate. "So you brought dinner with you."
Su Yanqing didn't respond directly to this question. She simply said, "I was so worried when you didn't come back, so I decided to go out and look for you. I brought dinner for both of us. How about we go back to the dormitory and eat first?"
Even as she said this, she remained alert, sizing up her friend with sharp eyes.
Even in the eyes of ordinary people, her current condition may not have changed much; but in Su Yanqing's eyes, she could still vaguely catch a glimpse of something wrong.
"Hey, why do you seem a little different today?"
She asked gently but doubtfully.
After hearing this question, Chen Yue immediately shook his head to deny it: "No...nothing, really!"
Try to appear as relaxed as possible.
However, the more this happens, the more difficult it is to conceal the ups and downs in my heart.
In order to avoid further awkwardness, and out of genuine concern for the person in front of her, Su Yanqing asked another question to try to ease the tension: "By the way, have you taken care of the laundry we mentioned yesterday?"
"Yes, it was sent to the laundry this morning."
"So when do you plan to get it back?"
Su Yanqing continued to ask, hoping that through these daily conversations she could help Chen Yue gradually return to normal.
three days later.
Su Yanqing stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Then give me the receipt and I'll pick it up myself."
Seeing this, Chen Yue immediately hid his hands behind his back, frowned tightly, and looked even more uneasy. His tone was full of urgency and anxiety: "No need, you see you are so busy every day, let me handle this kind of thing."
Su Yanqing was slightly stunned, then continued, "But you're still worried about others causing trouble for you. Is it worth it to make such a fuss just to get a piece of clothing?"
Chen Yue quickly shook her head, a look of determination and resolve in her eyes: "As long as I can help Sister Yanqing, I'm willing to do anything. I don't care about the troubles caused by these little things."
Before Su Yanqing could say anything more, Chen Yue forced a smile and said, "Sister Yanqing, let's go home quickly. I'm really starving."
As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach really began to rumble a few times, the sound was particularly obvious in the silent air.
Seeing this situation, Su Yanqing didn't ask any more questions, so she nodded and agreed reluctantly.
So the two of them set out on their journey home together.
As they walked on the road, Su Yanqing wanted to ask Chen Yue several times what was going on and why she was so flustered just now.
