Chapter 1141 - She’s Carrying Lu Nanze’s Child (17)

“There was no reason at all to doubt my brother, or your mother. At the time, everyone said that the building had collapsed because low-quality materials were used, and the reason for this was that your parents had embezzled the company funds. But you and I know better, because that money really didn’t exist.”

At this point, Qiao Zhigang looked at her and continued, “But did you know this? After the Qiao Family went broke, the Lu family rose in stature and has grown to become the leader of the industry in Suzhou. Furthermore, I once heard from Elder Brother that part of the materials he had used for the building were recommended by the Lu Family. After all, the Lu family was very experienced in this field... Xiao Lian, I know you’ve always been a smart girl. You understand what I’m trying to say, right?”

Qiao Lian frowned. After a moment, she shook her head and said, “I can’t remember anything from the past! But your daughter is pregnant with Lu Nanze’s child, why didn’t you ask her to stay away from him?”

“Do you think that by telling me this I will keep a distance from Lu Nanze? You’re dreaming!”

Qiao Zhigang frowned and cried, “Xiao Lian!”

Qiao Lian smirked coldly and said, “I’m quite sure that we weren’t on very good terms, because when I see you, I don’t feel any affection. So I won’t believe what you’ve said. Goodbye.”

As she turned and was about to walk away, Qiao Zhigang sighed and said, “Xiao Lian, your elder sister is pregnant! She is pregnant with Lu Nanze’s child, so why can’t you just let her have Lu Nanze?”

Qiao Lian frowned upon hearing this.

She turned and looked at Qiao Zhigang.

After all he had told her, this was probably the main reason that he was here for.

Qiao Lian smiled icily and, for some strange reason, felt a sudden urge to make fun of him.

Hence, she frowned and put her hands on her abdomen. She said, “I wish I could help, but you do know something?”

Qiao Zhigang looked at her with a serious expression on his face.

Qiao Lian whispered, “Let me tell you, Lu Nanze said that this child I’m carrying is his.”

Qiao Zhigang’s expression immediately changed when he heard these words.

Looking at him, Qiao Lian continued, “So Uncle, if you’re really my uncle and she’s my elder cousin, then why not let me have Lu Nanze? After all, she is older and I’m her little sister, am I not?”

Qiao Zhigang was flabbergasted.

Feeling exuberant, Qiao Lian turned to get into the car, smiling.

Once in the car, she was crestfallen.

Her eyes at once turned gloomy.

This afternoon, she had felt guilty and ashamed for pretending to get close to Lu Nanze.

Now she could be sure. The Lu family had been behind all of this, causing her parents to lose both their reputation and standing.

So she had to think of a way to restore her parents’ reputation.

As she thought about this, she felt increasingly better about herself.

–

The next day, when Shen Liangchuan took Qiao Lian to work, they discovered that Lu Nanze was nowhere to be seen.

Could it be that he had had a serious allergic reaction yesterday?

Qiao Lian was puzzling over this as she walked into the caster’s office. While she sat there, not doing very much, her cell phone suddenly rang. Picking up the call, she heard Lu Nanze’s voice coming through, “Qiao Lian, I’m at home on a drip today and can’t go to work. But there’s an important document in my office, can you bring it to me?”

Qiao Lian’s eyes suddenly widened and lit up when she heard this.

Wouldn’t this be the perfect chance to boldly walk into his office and locate that account book from years ago?
