103: C103 To Qin Yanran

C103 To Qin Yanran

When she heard Qiao Yumeng mention the man's name, a sinister look appeared in Shen Yanru's eyes. But very quickly, she still smiled and asked, "Meng, what do you plan on cooking? Auntie Shen wants to see if the food prepared at home is enough."

"No need, I will see for myself." Qiao Yumeng walked into the kitchen and looked at the ingredients in the fridge. She picked up an apron and tied it on her body.

This apron was usually worn by Shen Yanru. Now, it was very suitable to be tied on Qiao Yumeng's body, just like how Qiao Yumeng had never left the Qiao family. She had always been the mistress of the Qiao family.

Later on, Shen Yanru wanted to help but Qiao Yumeng did not allow her to interfere at all. It made her look like a guest and everything seemed unnecessary.

After Qiao Yumeng finished cooking, Qiao Yi came back very quickly with a smile on his face, as if he had never had a falling out with Qiao Yumeng.

"Dad, go and pay your respects to mom after dinner." Qiao Yumeng had an unintentional expression on her face. She picked up the bowl and went to serve the rice.

Qiao Yi looked at Shen Yanru and said, "Sure."

"Auntie Shen, do you want to go together?" Qiao Yumeng looked at Shen Yanru with a smile.

"Let's go together." Of course Shen Yanru did not want to see Qin Yanran. Although Qin Yanran's body was probably completely rotten and her hatred for Qin Yanran did not decrease at all, she did not want Qiao Yumeng to be alone with Qiao Yi.

If Qiao Yumeng told Qiao Yi about her relationship with Gu Anxi, then her good days would come to an end.

"Alright." Qiao Yumeng smiled at the right time, but she was laughing coldly in her heart.

Initially, she had planned to tell Qiao Yi about the matter directly, but that would be letting Shen Yanru off too easily.

Compared to killing a person directly, torture was obviously more satisfying for revenge.

While eating, Qiao Yi kept praising Qiao Yumeng's cooking progress. Qiao Yumeng also occasionally served Qiao Yi dishes. The scene of fatherly filial piety made the relationship between them even more ironic.

After the meal, the three of them were ready to go out. Qiao Yumeng then looked at Shen Yanru and said, "Auntie Shen, are you here for your period today?"

"Yes." Shen Yanru was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she did not eat chili every time she came for her period. Qiao Yumeng's dishes were also slightly spicy. She subconsciously picked out the chili and had long been seen by Qiao Yumeng.

"It's not suitable to have a period to pay respects to an old friend." After Qiao Yumeng finished speaking, she looked at Qiao Yi, "Furthermore, I believe that mother only wants to see me and father, right?"

Qiao Yi and Shen Yanru both knew how Qin Yanran died back then. Qiao Yi was silent for a while and said, "You stay at home. I think Meng is right."

"Ha." Shen Yanru sneered and almost could not hold back her laughter. It was as if Qin Yanran was willing to see Qiao Yi, but now was not the past. She did not dare to be so presumptuous anymore.

Also, she had to go see Gu Anxi and confirm his identity. Was there a deal between Qiao Yumeng and him?

After leaving the house, Qiao Yi drove Qiao Yumeng with Qiao Yumeng. Qiao Yumeng sat in the passenger seat and looked at the scenery on the side of the road. Qiao Yumeng's memory also went back.

She sat beside Qiao Yi like this and could not remember clearly. How long ago was it? At that time, she was as happy as a princess. She had never thought that she would have to play tricks on her when she returned home.

"Meng, did you say something to your Aunt Shen?" Qiao Yi coughed and took the initiative to speak.

It was not like he did not understand Shen Yanru's character. She was petty and sensitive. How could she allow Qiao Yumeng to go home? If she did not use jumping off the building to threaten him to change his words, he would not have said that Qiao Yumeng harmed Qiao Yurou...

But it was like this. He was used to lying to himself. He actually felt that Qiao Yumeng should not have returned to the Qiao family. It was only when Qiao Yumeng served him food that he suddenly saw Qin Yanran. Only then did he think of that house. It was the same house that he and Qin Yanran married back then. Old Man Qin bought it for their husband and wife.

"Ah?" Qiao Yumeng was immersed in her own thoughts. She was stunned for two seconds before she realized what Qiao Yi said. She smiled and said, "What can I say to her? Maybe she found her conscience."

These words were ambiguous. Qiao Yi subconsciously felt that Qiao Yumeng was talking about him.

"I see," Qiao Yumeng said. In the end, Qiao Yi could only say one sentence and no longer speak.

When they arrived at Qin Yanran's tomb, the sky had already turned dark. It gave the originally cold tomb a bit more of a strange atmosphere.

It was also at this moment that Qiao Yi began to regret agreeing to Qiao Yumeng coming to pay his respects in the middle of the night.

He rubbed his arms and said, "Hurry up and go home after the worship. It's so scary in the middle of the night."2

"What's there to be afraid of?" Qiao Yumeng smiled and looked at Qiao Yi. "Mom is lying inside. She loves you so much. It's too late to protect Dad. What is Dad afraid of?"

Qiao Yi swallowed his saliva and nodded. He said dryly, "Meng is right."

"Mom, Dad and I are here to see you." Qiao Yumeng said and placed the lily she bought for Qin Yanran in front of the tombstone. She reached out and gently touched Qin Yanran's picture on the tombstone.

Qin Yanran in the picture was smiling and did not feel the pain of her death at all.

"Yanran, how are you doing over there?" Qiao Yi stood there stiffly. He did not even dare to look at Qin Yanran in the photo.

He loved Qin Yanran and also loved Shen Yanru. He wanted to enjoy the happiness of being together with others, but Shen Yanru was not willing. She threatened him with suicide and he agreed.

Later on, he and Shen Yanru designed it together, and that was why Qin Yanran was killed by both physical and mental attacks.

From then on, no one dared to mock him for eating soft food. The former Qin Clan had become the Qiao's.

He still remembered that when Qin Yanran died, she held his arm tightly. Even though she had died, she still did not close her eyes.

Even after so many years, he still clearly remembered that Qin Yanran's eyes were filled with unwillingness and hatred.

"Dad." Qiao Yumeng suddenly reached out and patted Qiao Yi's shoulder.

Qiao Yi was so scared that he trembled. His back was wet with cold sweat. He raised his hand to wipe his forehead and said with a dry smile, "Child, don't you know that people can scare people to death?"

"What is father afraid of?" Qiao Yumeng's lips curled into a smile, as if she had seen through Qiao Yi's heart.

"Nothing." Qiao Yi looked away and said after a moment of silence, "I haven't come to see your mother for a long time. I thought about what happened in the past and didn't notice. I was scared by you."

"I see." Qiao Yumeng nodded. When she looked away, there was a trace of coldness in her eyes.

If a person did not do anything wrong, how could he be so guilty?

After leaving the cemetery, Qiao Yi drove in silence on the way home. He almost chased after her several times.

Obviously, he still had some guilt towards Qin Yanran.

This guilt was exactly what Qiao Yumeng needed the most right now.
