Chapter 757 I Can Tell You

Lin Mengwu nodded.

After sitting down, he took a sip of tea first, then slowly said, "Uncle, I met some people today and heard some things. Some people don't understand. Can uncle explain to me?"

Li Chengyan smiled and said, "Of course, as long as I can help, I will definitely help. But it surprised me that you told me these things as soon as you opened your mouth. I heard from your aunt that something was wrong with you today. I thought you didn't want to talk to us too much."

Lin Mengwu said, "Uncle is such a smart person. Even if I don't say it, I will know sooner or later. In that case, I might as well tell uncle so that he doesn't investigate."

Li Chengyan: ..."

The corner of his mouth twitched and he thought to himself speechlessly. It turned out that she told him not because she trusted him, but because she didn't want to beat around the bush.

"You've been a sensible child since you were young. You're smart and sensible. Your aunt and I have always been very relieved. If there's anything you don't know, just say it! I can answer it."

"I heard it outside today... I heard someone talking about my parents'death, saying that things weren't that simple back then."

"Who is that person?" Li Chengyan asked coldly.

Lin Mengwu sighed and said, "Uncle, don't you think that's not the point? The point is whether what they're talking about is true or not."

"What do you think?" Li Chengyan asked.

Lin Mengwu smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I don't believe it, and I don't want to believe it. But in this world, there are not so many groundless rumors. I'm really curious about why such rumors can be spread without any wind or waves."

Li Chengyan said seriously, "What happened to your parents back then was indeed an accident. Your parents had an accident on the way to pick you up. The kidnapper had an impromptu intention to kidnap them. But because he knew about your parents'relationship with us, he called us for ransom. Your aunt went alone, pregnant with Yunyan, but she still went alone. She just didn't expect that the other party didn't intend to let her go at all. When your aunt went over, your parents were already killed. Fortunately, I took precautions in advance, and your aunt didn't have an accident, but your parents... Only rescued Ann. But at that time, your mother was still breathing, and your aunt felt guilty that she couldn't save them. Your mother said that she didn't blame her aunt. She hoped that she could raise you well for the sake that they were best friends. You knew how your aunt treated you and Ann all these years. Yes, your aunt did feel guilty for you. But that's just because she's too kind, but it's not her fault."

Lin Mengwu burst into tears when she heard this. It was the first time in so many years that she had heard so much about her parents' past.

She covered her face with tears and sobbed, "Why... Why didn't you tell me before? Just now... Just now, when I saw auntie's evasive eyes, my heart was so sad. I was afraid that as they said, my parents died because of auntie. I've been so sad all day. If it's true, what should I do?"

"I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you would have a psychological burden. You were still young at that time, and it was inevitable that you would think too much. Your aunt and I hope you can grow up carefree. If you know too much, you will bear too much. You are still young, and we don't want you to bear too much."

"Thank you for telling me this. I understand, I understand." Lin Mengwu choked.

Li Chengyan nodded, looked at her and sighed again, "I know you're feeling bad, and you need some time to digest these things. But uncle hopes that you'll be in a good mood tomorrow, just like before. Your aunt is a simple-minded person, and she can only feel guilty about your parents for the rest of her life. I don't want her to worry about you anymore. Wu, we watched you grow up. I think you know what's going on all these years."

"I understand, I know." Lin Mengwu said.

Only then did Li Chengyan stand up and leave.

When he returned to his room, as soon as he entered, Qiao Ning pulled him nervously and asked, "How was it? How were you talking? Was she... Suspicious about that? Did she ask you about that?"

Li Chengyan nodded.

Qiao Ning let go of his hand and stood there in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.

After a while, she came to her senses and sobbed, "I knew there was no eternal secret in this world, no impermeable wall. Sure enough, it's still this day. Boo... Wu knows how sad and hates us! She's still so young, will she leave us for this?"

"Well, don't think too much. She did hear some rumors and was confused. But just now, I explained everything to her. Don't worry, she won't dwell on this problem anymore." Li Chengyan hugged her and comforted her.

"Have you explained it to her? How did you explain it to her? Will she forgive us?" Qiao Ning said in surprise.

Li Chengyan frowned and said in a low voice after a while, "I told her some truth and hid some truth. Sometimes it's more painful to know too much. This is enough for her. I don't think she will believe these rumors even if she hears them again in the future."

Qiao Ning looked at him in a daze. Although he didn't ask, his eyes were asking what the truth was.

Li Chengyan had no choice but to tell Lin Mengwu what he had said. Qiao Ning's eyes widened when he heard it.

After a while, she muttered, "Is that okay? So... If one day she knew the truth, would she hate us even more and lie to her twice?"

"You think too much. I'll look into the person who spread the rumors outside immediately. If I find that person, no one will tell her this." Li Chengyan's eyes darkened.

Now the Li Family's position in Feng City is more stable. Not only Feng City, but also Capital City has taken a few people in the political career. He dared to offend the Li Family at this time and attack the Li Family. He wanted to see who this bold person was.

The next morning, Qiao Ning went downstairs uneasily.

As soon as she went downstairs, she saw that Lin Mengwu was already helping her prepare breakfast. She came down and greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, auntie."

"Good morning, Wu." Qiao Ning forced a smile.

Lin Mengwu seemed like nothing had happened yesterday, telling Qiao Ning about the video with Li Yunshen last night. He also said that Li Yunshen had apologized to her, and how she had made things difficult for him.

It seemed that those suspicions before were all a dream.

"Wu, I..." Qiao Ning was still uneasy, but some words could not be said.

Instead, Lin Mengwu smiled and said to Qiao Ning, "Auntie, uncle explained to me yesterday. Of course, I believe you. I was imagining things before. I'm not a child. I'm not ignorant. Auntie doesn't have to feel guilty in the future. I know that my parents'death has nothing to do with auntie. Auntie is also sad, so I won't blame auntie."
