One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 492 - 490: Secrets Forgotten by Time (10)

Helian Sulan seized the gap of fetching the medicine box to secretly call Qiao Yu, "Yu’er, what’s going on with your dad?""Is he home? Did you meet him?" Qiao Yu was very anxious on the other end of the phone, "What did he say to you?"

Helian Sulan walked to the corner and said cautiously, "He just asked me about things from back then, I think he’s starting to suspect. Yu’er, why was he soaking wet with injuries on his face, what happened?"

"...I don’t know either, but I can be sure it’s related to Song Song. Damn, maybe she said something to dad, so dad came home to question you. Mom, don’t worry, even if you used some means back then, you’ve been with dad for so many years, I can’t believe he would be so cold-hearted towards us. After all, I am his biological daughter, while that Song Song is just a bastard."

Helian Sulan was still very worried, "That’s true, but... I’m just afraid your dad might be swayed by those sweet words. Yu’er, you should come and stay more often during this time, enhance your relationship with your dad, let him know you’re his real daughter." Updates are released by ɴovelfire.net

"Mm, I know — Mom, rest assured! Don’t think too much."

Ending the call, Helian Sulan took the medicine box to the hall but didn’t see Qiao Yanjing anywhere.

Not in the hall, I guess he’s gone to the study?

Helian Sulan immediately ran to the study, just about to push the door open when she heard a phone conversation inside —

"Yes, help me draft a new one, there’s been a change in the distribution of inheritance, it’s best to make it soon, thank you."

"..."

Helian Sulan’s grip on the medicine box tightened more and more, she knew for sure Song Song had said something she shouldn’t have, otherwise he wouldn’t be changing the will again.

Reaching out to push the door open, Helian Sulan smiled gracefully, "Husband, why did you run to the study again? Made me look for you for quite a while."

"How is it? Does it hurt on your face?"

Qiao Yanjing’s eyes darkened as he slowly put down the phone, "It’s alright."

"Come over quickly, let me apply medicine for you, then take a bath. At your age, why are you still fighting with others, you seem to be regressing the older you get."

Qiao Yanjing chuckled lightly as he walked over, "Mm, thank you Sulan."

Helian Sulan’s hand paused, saying slowly, "As long as you know my good intentions for you, that’s enough, as for other things... I don’t ask for much."

No, she must visit the lawyer tomorrow, she must find out what he instructed earlier.

...

The next morning, after ensuring Qiao Yanjing left, Helian Sulan immediately rushed to the Qiao Family’s exclusive law firm.

Mrs. Qiao’s grand visit to the law firm naturally required enthusiastic reception, Helian Sulan used to quite enjoy this feeling of being flattered.

But today, she was not interested at all.

In the office, she placed her bag down, took off her mink coat, and directly asked, "Lawyer Gao, did my husband call you yesterday to change the will?"

She had previously given Lawyer Gao a lot of benefits, she provided whatever could be given, so-called raising a soldier for a day to use in a time, she didn’t believe she couldn’t get a straight answer.

Lawyer Gao seemed a bit hesitant, "Chairman Qiao did call me, but..."

"Lawyer Gao." Helian Sulan elegantly interrupted, "It’s best not to say things like ’but’, your wife can teach at the university because I helped, your daughter can study abroad because I got you connections. Your salary increases faster than others every year, do you know why?"

Lawyer Gao’s forehead slightly sweated, "Mrs. Qiao, I know you have shown me kindness, but regarding the will... I’m really... powerless!"

Though he faced someone who was the second in command, and someone he once desperately fawned over, the first in command was currently listening in the lounge.

As a wage earner, he could only choose between the two, whichever could make decisions is whom he would listen to!

Helian Sulan was instantly furious, slamming her hand on the table, "Gao, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, if you anger me, don’t expect to survive in the legal field!"

"Mrs. Qiao, please don’t make it difficult for me, I’m just a senior working man, if you really want to know the change, you can go to Chairman Qiao to get a knowledge-sharing letter, otherwise, I really..."

"Bastard!" Helian Sulan was enraged, "No one has dared to speak to me like this! Alright, you’re ruthless, let me ask you, when he called you yesterday, was the change related to Song Song?"

Lawyer Gao was already scared out of his wits, he lowered his head and remained silent. Answering "yes" or "no" to this question would be incorrect —

Helian Sulan was a smart person, she quickly found the answer in Lawyer Gao’s expression, "Damn it! Qiao Yanjing that bastard really..."

"Sulan, whom are you calling a bastard?"

From the tomb, a cold male voice came from behind —

Helian Sulan trembled all over, she never expected Qiao Yanjing to also be here, she mechanically turned around, "Hus—Husband, why are you here?"

Qiao Yanjing’s eyes shone with a deep light as he slowly walked over, "If I weren’t here, I wouldn’t know how the gentle, graceful wife usually insults her husband behind his back."

"I also wouldn’t know that the wife who repeatedly says she doesn’t care about inheritance would threaten a lawyer."

"Sulan, how long do you plan to keep up this act in front of me? Did you really think I’m senile and know nothing? Even if senile, I know to close the door during important calls—"

Helian Sulan quickly realized, recalled the study door left open yesterday, "So, so you purposely let me hear?"

"Yes." Qiao Yanjing closed his eyes and nodded, "If you didn’t come here today, I would assume nothing happened, and we would continue our lives."

"But you came anyway, even dared to threaten Lawyer Gao! Sulan, all these years you’ve been by my side, have you always worn a mask?"

"I—" Helian Sulan suddenly felt speechless, "Yan Jing, I love you! From the first moment I saw you, I loved you."

"I never, never did anything to hurt you, and I even bore Yu’er for you, helped you build this empire, how can you say this about me?"

"..."

Lawyer Gao realized the atmosphere was off, and quietly slipped out of the office, he felt like a change was coming for the Qiao Family.

Qiao Yanjing looked at the face full of sorrow in front of him, suddenly feeling disgusted, he pinched her jaw, "Sulan, I’ll ask you one last time, what’s the truth about back then!"

"If you don’t answer honestly, I can find out myself, just need some time —"

"But you should think carefully, this is your last chance. If the investigation results show it was a long-planned conspiracy, by then I... will make you wish you were dead!"

Wish you were dead!

Helian Sulan never imagined he would say such four words to her one day.

"Qiao Yanjing, I’m telling you it’s Song Xueqin who couldn’t resist loneliness, she’s cheap, she’s willing to be slept with by men—"

"Slap!" —
