Chapter 724 - 734 Awakening (3)
Actually, at that time, he understood clearly that although his aunt’s love for him was genuine to a large extent, it was not entirely pure.More than anyone, he knew that the reason she treated him sincerely was merely because he never touched her interests.
At that time, his grandfather was also pained to see his son and daughter fighting, but he was worried that the young man would be incapable of handling it, so when he turned eighteen, his grandfather wanted to find a strong ally through an arranged marriage. With a powerful helper, he wouldn’t fail in the struggle between Fu Qingrou and Fu Zhiyuan.
But back then, he was single-mindedly thinking of Qiao Mo, holding on to the promise he made in the past.
How could he marry a woman he had never met, so he naively wanted to take her abroad and support her by himself.
Thinking back now, he was young and reckless, no wonder Fu Nancheng disagreed.
"Actually, I wasn’t resolutely against you being together back then, I just wanted to chat with Xiao Mo when I got back. If she insisted, I wouldn’t have opposed it. But at that time Xiao Mo couldn’t wait for my return and was ready to keep the appointment. My mother had never liked her and ordered her to be locked in the warehouse."
Upon hearing this, Fu Nancheng was slightly stunned.
"Are you saying Xiao Mo was locked in the warehouse?"
Qiao Dehou nodded: "That’s right. She was locked up for three days. On the third day, when I finally returned to the country, before I arrived home, Xiao Yun apparently visited Xiao Mo in the warehouse. For some unknown reason, they argued, after which Xiao Mo injured Qiao Yun, escaped the warehouse, and locked Qiao Yun inside."
"Afterwards, for some unknown reason, the warehouse caught fire. By the time I got home, all that was left of Xiao Yun was a charred body."
"How did you determine that the person in the warehouse was Qiao Yun?"
"At the time, I didn’t know whose body it was either."
However, according to my mother, the jewelry on the body was all what Qiao Yun was wearing at the time. They said the Qiao family was originally holding a small party, during which Qiao Yun told her she was worried that Qiao Mo would be bored and planned to bring her some food, persuade her, and talk to her. But unexpectedly, shortly after she went, the warehouse caught fire."
"Back then, although they couldn’t confirm the body was Xiao Yun’s, it wasn’t long before I received a call saying Qiao Mo had caused a major accident and was unconscious in the hospital, so naturally there was no doubt; the body in the warehouse had to be Xiao Yun’s."
Fu Nancheng remained silent, his gaze deep.
Qiao Yun and her mother were undoubtedly spouting nonsense!
It seems he guessed right, indeed Xiao Mo was the girl back then, and it was Qiao Yun who snitched.
If he guessed correctly, the heartbreaking message he received back then should have been sent by Qiao Yun!
Damn woman, he wouldn’t let her go!
Qiao Dehou was no ordinary person. Hearing Fu Nancheng question him like that, he squinted: "Are you saying Xiao Yun didn’t die?"
Fu Nancheng chuckled, truly worthy of Qiao Dehou.
Seeing the situation reach this point, he no longer hid anything and recounted the recent events to him.
Even though Qiao Dehou was mentally prepared beforehand, he was still taken aback when he heard that Yang Peiyun and Qiao Yun hadn’t died.
"Are you saying Yang Peiyun didn’t die either? Are you sure that person is Yang Peiyun?"
Fu Nancheng was prepared and placed a photo of Yang Peiyun in front of Qiao Dehou: "You can take a look, no one should be more certain than you."
Looking at the woman in the photo, though a bit aged, still charming, Qiao Dehou fell silent, his gaze deepening.
