Chapter 469: The Formidable Boss Protects Her Daughter Online (61)
Lee Fangfang probably wouldn’t have much affection for Father Lee, not enough to falsely accuse someone good because of him.
According to people around, Lee Fangfang is usually polite and sensible, not like a bad child, so why did she act that way?
And she also recalled that Lee Fangfang jumped to her death not long after Xie Moohuai’s incident. Was it guilt, or was she silenced by someone?
Qiann Yan didn’t go looking for Lee Fangfang, but she kept an eye on the situation in the neighboring village, inquiring almost every day.
Additionally, she asked Jiang Jinghan to keep an eye on Lee Fangfang. Jiang Jinghan didn’t understand why, but she’s a big fan of her mom, so she did whatever she was told.
"Qiann Yan, are you home?" Over the weekend, Xie Moohuai appeared outside Qiann Yan’s house, and even the way he addressed her seemed to have changed at some point.
Previously, it was always unintentional encounters, but this time Xie Moohuai showed up right at the doorstep, seeming more proactive.
Qiann Yan opened the door, and Jiang Jinghan in the room pretended to still be asleep, showing no intention of going out.
Qiann Yan invited Xie Moohuai inside and poured him some water.
Upon seeing Qiann Yan, Xie Moohuai’s eyes were filled with emotion, leaving Qiann Yan puzzled.
"Thank you for asking Zhuo Qi to help investigate the matter with Xie Minghui and Yanyu. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have discovered that it was Xie Minghui sowing discord."
Qiann Yan realized; Zhuo Qi is a blabbermouth, expecting him to keep a secret was wishful thinking.
"I happened to run into them meeting in the city that day and overheard their conversation by accident. It seemed a bit suspicious, so I asked Zhuo Qi to check it out," Qiann Yan explained.
Xie Moohuai’s eyes showed some disappointment; it turned out he misunderstood.
He had really believed Zhuo Qi’s call this morning and had come eagerly. But seeing her still as indifferent as ever, he knew there was no chance.
Qiann Yan noticed Xie Moohuai’s disappointment but found it hard to console him. She couldn’t just make some promises because of someone’s disappointment.
She was somewhat interested in him, but definitely not to the extent of accepting his attempts to get close.
"So, what do you plan to do now?"
Xie Moohuai felt a bit helpless: "That child is probably trying to find his biological parents, which is why he easily believed Xie Minghui’s words."
"Do you really think so? Has he ever mentioned wanting to find his biological parents all these years?"
Qiann Yan’s words made Xie Moohuai’s smile freeze. Of course not. Considering his upbringing, no matter how innocent he acted on the outside, was such an obvious intention still hard to guess?
"He probably doesn’t know about your relationship with Xie Minghui, and why hasn’t Xie Minghui told him? What could be the purpose behind that?"
Qiann Yan’s question forced Xie Moohuai to face this issue.
"Even if you don’t care about many things, they can become a thorn in the side for many people. The only way is to grab hold of everything, making the other side regret chasing."
"Qiann Yan, are you really from the countryside?"
Facing Xie Moohuai’s question, Qiann Yan calmly replied, "Haven’t you seen palace dramas or business war films?"
Xie Moohuai: "No."
In his spare time, he studied music and wasn’t interested in those things.
"Do you think I should go back and fight for it?" He truly didn’t like those things, which was why he came here to teach.
Qiann Yan: "That’s up to you. I can’t decide your thoughts."
Xie Moohuai really wanted to say, if she thought fighting for it was good, he could try harder.
"Why not wait and see what Xie Minghui does next, then decide whether or not to fight for it."
