Chapter 425: Tengtang Xi’s Conspiracy (8)
Hadn’t Zuo Qing’s father died in a car accident long ago?
Looking at Zuo Yi, Jiang Huaiyuan’s face was filled in disbelief!
“You, tell us everything you know.” Looking at the three people on the sofa, Tengtang Xi said to another trembling figure.
Hearing her voice, Zuo Yi turned her head and looked at the figure who was still standing there.
He narrowed his eyes and felt that the thin figure was somewhat familiar. It was an old lady who looked to be in her sixties.
The older man raised his head and looked at Tengtang Xi with some trepidation. Then, he glanced at Zuo Yi, who was not far away.
“I…” Her voice was trembling.
However, the moment she spoke, Zuo Yi’s brows immediately furrowed.
This voice…
‘Wasn’t it Bai Duo, Shen Ruoxi’s sister back then?’
“Bai Duo?” Zuo Yi walked up to the old lady and realized that it was indeed her.
She was the one who had told him that Shen Ruoxi had left pregnant back then.
“It’s really you.”
The old lady took a look at Zuo Yi and then lowered her eyes.
“What are you doing here?”
“I…” She raised her head and wanted to say something, but she hesitated. Then, she looked at Tengtang Xi, who was beside her.
When he met her gaze, Tengtang Xi glared at her fiercely, as if he was hinting at something with his eyes.
“I’m here because I have something to tell you…”
“What is it?”
“Back then, when Tengtang Xi left, she wasn’t pregnant.”
Hearing this, Zuo Yi’s heart shook, and his expression changed. “Not pregnant?”
“Yes.” The old lady nodded, but she never dared to look Zuo Yi in the eye.
Zuo Yi seemed to have seen through her guilt.
He was silent for a few seconds, then looked down at the old lady’s slightly pale head.
He asked in a deep voice, “Then why did you tell me that you were pregnant?”
When she had observed the people’s situation, Bai Duo had told him indignantly that he had let down Shen Qianxi and harmed her for her entire life. She felt that it was not worth it for her.
And this time, she came to tell him that Qianxi was not pregnant back then?
The old lady lowered her head. No one noticed her twinkling and flustered eyes. “I, I did that because…”
“Because what?” Zuo Yi’s face was like an iceberg. Her voice was icy, and her sharp eyes seemed to see through the old lady in front of her.
“Because I saw the news. I don’t want you to be deceived.”
“Deceived?”
At this moment, the old lady seemed to have mustered up her courage. She raised her head and met Zuo Yi’s sharp eyes. There was a flash in her eyes at the moment of contact, but in the next second, she seemed to have suddenly remembered something. In the end, she did not avoid his gaze.
“All of this was actually a conspiracy by Shen Ruoxi. Back then, she was forced away by your parents, but you only cared about becoming the president and did not care about her. Later on, she left. I thought that you would look for her, but you did not. She held a grudge against you, so she set up this conspiracy and claimed that she left pregnant. Her goal was to take revenge on you and make you feel guilty and regretful!”
The old lady finished her sentence in one breath. Although she looked overly calm on the surface, she was extremely nervous in her heart. Her entire nerves were tense!
Looking at her overly calm face, Zuo Yi furrowed her brows tightly.
“Then why did you tell me later that she was pregnant and left? And you, how did you know about this?”
The old lady seemed to have prepared an excuse long ago. “Because my relationship with her was the best. She did not tell anyone about this, but only told me.”
