Qiao Ning felt that it was strange for Lin Mengwu to come back. He looked at her strangely and spoke to her even more strangely.
For example, Lin Mengwu suddenly asked qiao ning, "Auntie, were you and my mother really best friends back then?"
Qiao Ning looked at her strangely and said in confusion, "Otherwise, how could this child ask this properly?"
"Then you didn't have a way to save my parents... What happened back then?" Lin Mengwu added.
A thread in Qiao Ning's head snapped with a bang. His face was a little pale and his heart was even more nervous.
She looked at Lin Mengwu and stammered, "Little... Wu, why did you suddenly... Suddenly ask this question? It's so strange. It's been... How long has it been? Why are you still talking about this?"
"Since you are best friends, you should remember everything clearly for how long." Lin Mengwu muttered.
After that, he turned around and went upstairs.
Qiao Ning frowned and felt uneasy.
She was already guilty, and Lin Mengwu was so strange that she couldn't help but think nonsense.
Li Yunyan ran to her and pestered her. She was so impatient that she shouted at him angrily, "Go play by yourself. Don't bother mom."
Li Yunyan was startled, pursed his lips and ran away aggrievedly.
When Lin Mengwu saw this scene upstairs, he couldn't help but clench the handrail of the stairs. Something roared out of his heart, almost breaking through his chest.
Li Yunyan was scolded by his mother, full of grievances.
So when Li Chengyan came home, he pounced on him aggrievedly, hugged his thigh and said aggrievedly, "Dad, mom is fierce to me. Mom is so fierce. I don't like mom anymore."
Li Chengyan raised his eyebrows and quickly picked him up to comfort him, "Mom is so fierce to you. What a poor child. But did Yunyan do something bad? Otherwise, how could mom be fierce to you?"
"No, I didn't do anything bad. I just wanted to talk to mom, and mom was fierce to me." Li Yunyan said wrongly.
Li Chengyan quickly comforted her, "Okay, okay, okay, dad knows. My baby has been wronged. Dad kissed. Later, dad will ask mom. If it's really mom's fault and she's angry at Yunyan for no reason, dad will make mom apologize to Yunyan."
"Okay, I'm going to play." Li Yunyan's small emotions were comforted, so he struggled down and ran to play.
Li Chengyan took off his coat and went to the room. Sure enough, he saw Qiao Ning sitting on the balcony, staring blankly out.
Qiao Ning was not such a quiet and sad person. Something must have happened like this.
But Li Chengyan was not in a hurry. He put the clothes away and washed his hands first. Then he walked behind Qiao Ning and gently rubbed his hand on her shoulder.
Qiao Ning came back to his senses, held his hand and turned to look at him, "You're back. When did you come back? What time is it? Look at me. I've forgotten the time."
"What happened?" Li Chengyan asked.
Qiao Ning pursed her lips and suddenly her eyes turned red. She choked and said, "Chengyan, what should I do? I'm so nervous and scared right now!"
"Tell me what happened. Don't worry. I'm here for everything." Li Chengyan comforted her.
Qiao Ning nodded. She was much more at ease with Li Chengyan around.
Just now, a heart seemed to be suspended in midair, floating, without any real place.
Now that she saw Li Chengyan, she really felt much better. She was not as scared as before.
She told Li Chengyan what Lin Mengwu had told her, and then choked up, "Why did she say this all of a sudden? Did she hear something and notice something? I was really afraid, afraid that she would know the truth. If she knew the truth, she would hate us. What should she do? What should she do now?"
Li Chengyan quickly hugged her and comforted her, "Ning, don't panic. Don't panic. It doesn't mean anything that she asked. Maybe it's just a question. Don't worry yourself first."
"How could she not be in a hurry," qiao ning said anxiously, "But she had never asked me that before. If she suddenly asked that, she must have heard something. Could it... Could it still be something from before? Didn't I ask you to look into the person who was talking nonsense last time? Was he still making up stories behind his back and talking nonsense everywhere?"
"Qiao Ning." Li Chengyan suddenly scolded.
Qiao Ning shuddered and really quieted down.
Li Chengyan took a deep breath and held her shoulder, "Ning, be good. Listen to me. Don't worry and panic. We'll take it as if she heard something, but so what? There were very few people who knew the truth back then. Even if she had doubts, she couldn't find any evidence. As long as we explain to her that we've raised her for so many years, is that relationship fake? Well, even if she finally found out the truth, do you think Wu is that kind of indiscriminate person? Xu Meng has forgiven you, Wu she... She won't blame us."
"Really? You really don't blame us?" Qiao Ning looked at him in a daze.
Li Chengyan nodded, "No, Wu is a sensible child. We watched her grow up. Don't you know her?"
Qiao Ning nodded and muttered, "Yes, Wu has always been a sensible child. She won't blame us. I think too much. I just..."
"Well, don't think too much. When we eat later, if there's anything unusual about her, I'll talk to her. Don't worry! I'll take care of it." Li Chengyan promised her.
With Li Chengyan's assurance, qiao ning finally calmed down.
During dinner, Li Chengyan asked the servant to call Lin Mengwu down.
When Lin Mengwu saw him say hello, Li Chengyan nodded and looked at her deeply.
Lin Mengwu, on the other hand, was normal and greeted Qiao Ning as usual. But Qiao Ning didn't dare to look at her because he was guilty, afraid of revealing something.
Li chengyan sighed lightly and everyone was silent during the meal. Occasionally, li yun said a few words, and no one was in the mood to pay attention to it.
After dinner, Li Chengyan patted Qiao Ning on the shoulder and asked her to rest.
Qiao Ning said worriedly, "Did you feel it too? Did she really know?"
Li Chengyan said, "I'll talk to her."
Qiao Ning nodded, glanced at Lin Mengwu uneasily, and then turned to go upstairs.
Lin Mengwu also wanted to go upstairs, but Li Chengyan stopped him and said, "Wu, do you have time? Uncle wants to talk to you. I don't know if it's inconvenient for you."
Lin Mengwu raised his eyebrows and said faintly, "Okay, what does uncle want to talk to me about?"
Li Chengyan said, "Just have a casual chat. Last time I went to Rong City to see you, I didn't have a good chat with you. Let's just sit down and have a casual chat."
