Chapter 9: Wang Yue's Past

iang Yunbai's desk before he could start complaining."Here's your ham sandwich."Jiang Yunbai let out her anger and picked up the ham sandwich and started eating.Li Fumian put one hand on Jiang Yunbai'..."Captain Chen, please noodles."

……

Chen Xiaobo sat in the luxuriously decorated living room and looked up at the chandelier.

"What kind of business is Mrs. Wang's family in I saw this chandelier before, it's not cheap."

Mrs. Wang smoothed her hair around her ears.

"My husband works in real estate. He has a company here locally, and the villa we live in was built by his company."

Chen Xiaobo nodded.

"May I ask where you were and what you were doing after 10 p.m. on the 21st Do you have any witnesses"

Mrs. Wang recalled the events of that night.

Then, he spoke to the maid who was sweeping the floor in the distance.

"Zhang Ma, why don't you go and have a look in the kitchen first."

Chen Xiaobo turned his head and watched as Zhang Ma walked away.

"Mrs. Wang"

Mrs. Wang looked at Chen Xiaobo's puzzled expression and smiled sheepishly.

Well, uh, I remember that night very clearly because I was the only one driving that night.

"Didn't get home until about 2 AM."

Chen Xiaobo followed up, "Where did you go and what did you do Can you tell us"

Mrs. Wang seemed reluctant.

"Captain Chen, can you keep this between us I don't want my husband to know about any of this."

Chen Xiaobo nodded.

"I know Captain Chen, you're wondering what I'm thinking. My relationship with Wang Yue, this adopted daughter of mine, is actually... alright. At least it's better than her father's."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaobo and his entourage were quite surprised.

“I absolutely had no motive to kill Wang Yue, and I was already prepared to divorce her father. That night, I was just following his car, hoping to gather as much evidence as possible that would be in my favor so I could get more assets in the property division.”

Mrs. Wang's face was calm, not at all like a wife who had caught her husband cheating.

"Could you show me the evidence you collected that night"

"Sure."

Chen Xiaobo glanced at it and then passed the phone to Qin Yuezhen.

Qin Yuezhen made a copy and gave it back to Mrs. Wang.

"Can you tell me what kind of person Wang Yue is in your eyes"

Mrs. Wang gave them an answer they had never heard before.

"She, is a pitiful person."

"Why is that said To our knowledge, she is the only daughter in this family."

Mrs. Wang said.

"Indeed, and after all these years of seeing her father at their house, I haven't seen any other illegitimate children. She's the only one."

But Wang Yue was actually a person with an extremely desolate heart. She had no goals, no pursuits, and no love.

The only person in this world who loved her was her biological mother. Sadly, her mother passed away in a car accident ten years ago. From what I know, Wang Yue's original personality was just a bit strong-willed and spoiled. This isn't really a big deal after all, she is a real princess.

And then

Mrs. Wang smiled, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

"Actually, all of this was told to me later by Wang Yue. Her father was a serial adulterer, and she knew about it when she was very young. He would even argue with her mother and get physical. From then on, she planted the seed in her heart to protect her mother. Until later, when she grew up, she persuaded her mother to divorce her father. Her mother also found the courage to file for divorce, but it seems like they had a fight afterwards. Her mother drove out and got into a car accident and died."

From Qin Yuezhen's perspective, she could just see the tears glistening in Madam Wang's eyes.

She could have had a completely different life, a happy one.

Mrs. Wang wiped her eye corner.

"Well, if you want to know more about Wang Yue and her father, you can ask Zhang Ma who was here just now. She knows a lot of things."

Chen Xiaobo and Qin Yuezhen walked out of the living room and into the kitchen to find Zhang Ma.

"Rest assured, today's conversation is confidential."

Zhang Ma put down the vegetables in her hands and led the two people to the balcony.

"Oh, I've been in this house for almost twenty years. To say Yueyue's mother is a top-notch woman..."

Qin Yuezhen looked at Zhang Ma and said, "Can you tell me in more detail"

“I remember back then, Yueyue's mom and her husband were in a free love relationship and they got married very quickly. Then Yueyue was born. After Yueyue's mom became pregnant, her husband started looking for other people. In the end, Yueyue's mom found out. At that time, Yueyue's mom was still heavily pregnant.”

"I remember back then, if I hadn't stopped Yuet Yuet's mom and her husband, they were about to fight. But in the end, Yuet Yuet's mom still tripped and fell, so she had to stay in the hospital on bed rest until Yuet Yuet was born."

After that, Yue Yue's mother devoted herself to taking care of Yue Yue. Yue Yue was sickly as a child, often getting sick and needing medication. She got better later on, but the relationship between her husband and Yue Yue's mother remained distant. As a result, Yue Yue also didn't get close to her father.

"So, Wang Yue's father and Wang Yue didn't have a good relationship from a young age"

After a moment's hesitation, Zhang Ma continued.

"Actually, when she was very young, it wasn't bad. But as she grew older, she became less close. Also, at that time, her father was busy and didn't come home often. Until Yueyue's mother passed away... Their relationship went through ups and downs, but in the end, they were still father and daughter."

Then Chen Xiaobo continued, "What's the relationship between Wang Yue and her stepmother like"

"Oh, it was a big deal at first, but as time went on people naturally developed feelings for each other. They often go shopping together now."

Chen Xiaobo cut off the recording pen and found Mrs. Wang.

Statement of Purpose

They want to go see Wang Yue's room.

"This room is the one Wang Yue lived in before she moved out."

Chen Xiaobo nodded.

Entering Wang Yue's room, it was very clean.

"These things haven't been moved in ten years. If anyone moves them, Wang Yue will definitely be furious. Everyone in the family knows that this is what Wang Yue's mother left for Wang Yue as a remembrance, so everyone understands each other implicitly."

The overall color of the room is baby blue.

On the desk, there were still stationery items that are typically used by students, such as a pencil sharpener and a pen holder filled with various pens.

There are also heating pads for writing desks that students use in the winter.

And on the desk lay some old middle school textbooks.

Chen Xiaobo was just flipping through some things when he saw a bunch of dolls and three photo albums with only pictures of mothers and daughters.

The oldest girl in the photo album is only fourteen or fifteen years old.

After that, there were no more group photos in the room.

From their looks, both Wang Yue and her mother are stunning beauties.

Qin Yuezhen opened the closet, and inside were clothes that weren't what Wang Yue should be wearing at her age.

These are all clothes that Wang Yue is unwilling to throw away or let others touch.

Chen Xiaobo looked into the cabinet filled with old clothes.

Everything is hung neatly and in order.

........

After leaving the Wang family residence, the atmosphere became inexplicably low.

Qin Yuezhen reflected on herself for a while, but found that Chen Team seemed to be talking less than usual today.s different this time was that he had a cigarette in his hand.Gu Yan knew that Jiang Yunbai was deliberately avoiding him.Open the phone's chat interfaceGu Yan simply glanced at the chat history and p...
