Chapter 188 Why not even spare innocent children?

Because he didn't prepare in advance, he really can't get any information at all now.

However, there is one thing that Shen Qingrong still can't understand.

How exactly did Shen Qingyan find out more than three years later that he had taken the letter?

He was certain that no one else could possibly know about this except himself.

Over the years, even his bedmate was unaware of it.

How did Shen Qingyan suddenly find out more than three years later?

While Shen Qingrong lay on his sickbed, utterly perplexed, Old Master Shen on the other side was equally baffled by the intense hatred that Shen Qingyan and Yan Liti harbored towards Shen Qingrong.

Old Master Shen isn't stupid.

The fact that Shen Qingrong hid the letter from Shen Qingyan must mean he had something to gain.

This was indeed Shen Qingrong's fault.

This is undeniable.

However, what puzzled him was Shen Qingyan and Yan Liti's murderous intent towards Shen Qingrong's family.

Even if a child is left outside and suffers a little, it doesn't warrant killing someone, does it?

It also forces him to choose between them.

Shen Tuo wasn't that muddle-headed; promoting Shen Qingrong was one thing.

But if something really happens, he will naturally choose his son and his wife.

But he didn't understand why Shen Qingrong had to be killed.

They not only wanted to kill Shen Qingrong, but also those two innocent children.

In his view, even if Shen Qingrong did do something wrong in concealing the child's whereabouts, it was not a crime deserving of death.

Shen Tuo couldn't understand the reason behind this.

He called Yan Liti again.

But the phone rang again and again, and no one answered.

Shen Tuo lowered his eyes in disappointment. Just as he was about to have the guard behind him push him away, the phone rang.

He answered the call rather impatiently.

But as he listened to what the person on the other end said, his expression grew increasingly grim.

——

The hotel owner arrived in Baoyi City around 5 p.m.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties, surnamed Tang, named Tang Jianguo.

He was very generous. Before he arrived, he called the hotel from the train and asked the Qiao family to wait for him so they could have dinner together at the state-run restaurant, which he would treat them to.

Qiao Changdong did not refuse.

To appear more like a respectable businessman.

He also hastily took Qiao Changcai to the department store and bought a suit for each of them, asking Yan Liti to help them make an assessment.

Qiao Qiao, unusually, did not go with them.

Faced with Qiao Changdong's questioning gaze, the little girl could only coax and say that she wanted to play with the toys that Yan Liti had brought back for her that afternoon in the hotel.

Qiao Changdong didn't force her to come with him. He just affectionately kissed the little girl's forehead before leaving with Yan Liti and Qiao Changcai.

But Qiao Qiao, who had promised to play with the Jiang siblings, took Qiao Xiaoyun to Yan Liti's place alone while the Jiang siblings were taking a bath and getting ready to change into the new clothes Qiao Changdong had bought for them.

Just then, both Mo Wenpei and Grandma Qiao had something to do.

The little girl looked mysterious as she pulled Qiao Xiaoyun outside.

Qiao Xiaoyun felt a little confused.

When she saw the little girl actually take out the toy that Yan Liti had bought for her, she thought Qiao Qiao really just wanted to play with the toy.

However, looking at the toy that the little girl struggled to bring out, Qiao Xiaoyun couldn't help but sigh. The lives of the rich are something that ordinary people can't even dream of.

For example, she had never even heard of Lego before.

If Yan Liti hadn't gone out that afternoon and brought it back, she wouldn't have known that such ridiculously expensive toys existed in the world.

One box costs more than two hundred yuan!

Yan Liti even bought four boxes at once!

That's equivalent to five years' salary for an average person!

When Yan Liti talked about it, she didn't even blink, as if it were as cheap as a big white radish at the market.

However, she also heard that it was an imported toy.

It only entered their country's market last year, and it's something that even if you have money and foreign exchange certificates, you might not be able to buy.

Yan Liti had gone to great lengths to buy it for her granddaughter from someone else, and she went out to meet people in the afternoon just to get it back.

While Qiao Qiao was playing, Qiao Xiaoyun watched for a while and unknowingly became fascinated as well.

And you know what? When she put together a small model according to the blueprints, she was really proud.

Now the aunt and niece are sitting in the carpeted living room, playing happily with their legs touching.

Oh no, it should be said that when Qiao Xiaoyun was having a great time, she saw a fluffy little head pop out from under the blueprint she was holding in mid-air.

The owner of the fluffy little head blinked his big eyes and looked at her with a sweet expression.

"Auntie," the little one called out, his voice deliberately sweet and cloying.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Xiaoyun looked down, her mind focused on the Lego set. She only glanced at her casually before looking back at the blueprints.

But before he could figure out what to do next, the blueprints he was holding were pushed aside.

She changed into a cute pink little dumpling.

The little dumpling snuggled into her arms, looking up at her with its pretty little face.

Qiao Xiaoyun raised an eyebrow in surprise and looked at her.

You know, when her younger brother Qiao Changdong was alive, this little guy wasn't this clingy to her.

Today is a bit unusual; he snuggled into her arms so affectionately and called her in such a sweet and cuddly way.

"When there's nothing to do at home, it's Mom! But when there's something to do, it's Mom." Qiao Xiaoyun, the chubby little boy, was absolutely certain that this little guy who had climbed onto her lap had something he wanted to ask her for.

Sure enough, the next second, she saw the little girl ask her with her eyes crinkling.

"Auntie, do you love Qiaoqiao?" the little girl asked her with a smile.

"That's hard to say. It depends on what you want your aunt to do next, and whether you love her or not," Qiao Xiaoyun replied readily.

"..." Qiao Qiao.

The little girl puffed out her cheeks.

He seemed surprised that Qiao Xiaoyun would answer him like that.

Seeing the little girl's wide-eyed surprise at her answer, Qiao Xiaoyun smiled.

He pinched her soft, delicate cheeks before saying, "Alright, if you have any questions, just ask them directly. Don't beat around the bush like your father does."

"Auntie, what happened to Daddy and Grandma?" Qiao Qiao asked, pinching her collar playfully.

In the past few days, Qiao Qiao could clearly sense that her grandmother and her father seemed to have had some kind of conflict.

But when she asked her father, he wouldn't tell her.

She also asked Grandma Qiao, but Grandma Qiao wouldn't tell her either.

Qiao Qiao had a hunch that the conflict between the two might be related to her.

But both of them kept it from her, not letting her know.

Qiao Qiao was a little troubled.
