Although Zhang Xiao and Qu Yaotian had not seen each other for decades, the two of them had been together before after all. They were each other’s first love, so she had a certain understanding of Qu Yaotian. When she saw the expression on Qu Yaotian’s face, she knew that he had something to hide.
And for so many years, Zhang Xiao had been abroad. Although she had been married, she had always had Qu Yaotian in her heart. Otherwise, she would not have agreed to Qu Yaotian this time to ask her to come forward and help clarify things. Therefore, Zhang Xiao could not bear to put Qu Yaotian in a difficult position. She deliberately changed the topic. “Oh right, what do you need me to say during the press conference later? Or rather, if you have a speech or something like that, you can bring it over to me to take a look first.”
“I don’t have a speech. Aunt Zhang, you don’t mind me calling you that, do you?” Zhang Xiao’s actions made Chen Meng’er have a better understanding of her. And she was also certain that Zhang Xiao still had feelings for her uncle. She felt that after her uncle and Han Ying’s relationship was settled, he could really consider rekindling his old feelings with Zhang Xiao.
“I don’t mind, but you are?” Zhang Xiao was quite curious about Chen Meng’er’s identity. She was too embarrassed to ask.
“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Chen Meng’er, I’m Uncle Yaotian’s niece.” Towards the people she liked, Chen Meng’er’s attitude could not be said to be bad.
“Yaotian’s niece? Does this mean…” Zhang Xiao cast a puzzled look at Qu Yaotian.
“Meng’er is my niece. She is the one mentioned in the article and the Qu family’s lost child for many years,” Qu Yaotian explained.
“Is what was written in the article true?” Zhang Xiao thought that what was reported in the article was fake, so when she saw Chen Meng’er just now, she did not connect her to the Qu family’s lost child.
“Yes.” Qu Yaotian nodded.
“Aunt Zhang, we have introduced ourselves. Then let’s get back to the main topic.” Chen Meng’er wanted to understand Zhang Xiao in depth, but the matter at hand was more important and time was limited.
“Alright. Go ahead.” Facing Chen Meng’er’s serious face, Zhang Xiao unconsciously sat up straight.
“We don’t have a script here, and we don’t need a script. You and my uncle have nothing to do with each other. This is all made up.” Chen Meng’er paused for a moment before she raised her head and looked at Qu Yaotian, then, she said, “My uncle might be embarrassed to answer your question just now. I don’t think there’s anything to be embarrassed about. This report was not made up by someone else. It was made up by his wife, Han Ying.”
“Han Ying? How is that possible?” Zhang Xiao looked at Chen Meng’er in disbelief after hearing Chen Meng’er’s words. Then, she turned around and looked at Qu Yaotian with an inquiring look.
Qu Yaotian nodded in the face of Zhang Xiao’s inquiring look.
“Han Ying? Why… Why did she do that?” Zhang Xiao didn’t understand. Han Ying was Qu Yaotian’s wife. What good would it do for her to tarnish Qu Yaotian’s reputation like this?
“Why would she do that? She wants revenge and she wants to drag him down,” Chen Meng’er said. A look of disdain appeared on her face. “As for what exactly happened, time is limited. I won’t explain it to you here. You will know when the press conference is held later.” As she said that, Chen Meng’er raised her wrist and looked at the watch on her wrist, “It’s about time. We can go to the scene now.”
