The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife
Chapter 870 - Chapter 870 Chapter 870 One Person Leaves

Chapter 870: Chapter 870: One Person Leaves Chapter 870: Chapter 870: One Person Leaves Kong Minjuan’s eyes widened with even more shock. “You’ve known all along?”

“Yes. I also knew why you were so afraid of me dying five years ago. And I’ve finally understood your reason for wanting me to get pregnant was not to save me, but to use my child in exchange for benefits. It turns out you were scheming against me even then. No, you had started scheming against me even earlier than that.” Qiao Ning’s voice was very calm, as if she were recounting a matter of fact.

Facing this mother now, she didn’t even have the emotions to be angry.

Kong Minjuan was stunned.

She hadn’t expected Qiao Ning to know all of this!

“Qiao Ning, I did it all for your own good!” She urgently explained, “You were about to die at the time, only this method could save you! And you could gain even more benefits; I did nothing wrong!”

“But after discovering that the child wasn’t mine, you never came to see me again.”

“…”

Qiao Ning was utterly disappointed with this mother. “Ms. Kong, apart from taking care of you in your sickness and old age, I will not regard you as my mother anymore. I had some expectations for you before I came today. But clearly, I was too naive.”

Having said that, Qiao Ning walked straight out.

Kong Minjuan’s face turned ugly, and she called out unwillingly, “Qiao Ning, mother wasn’t good enough for you! But is Chai Xiyang really that good to you? Have you forgotten how he treated you back then?!”

Qiao Ning seemed not to hear her words and left directly.

Li An quietly followed her, not daring to disturb her.

At this moment, it was clear that Qiao Ning was in a bad mood.

Qiao Ning walked out of the apartment and stood on the roadside, suddenly a bit lost. Her mother was like that; her nature could not be changed.

What about Chai Xiyang?

Was his kindness to her genuine, and was it without ulterior motives?

For some reason, Qiao Ning thought of the time Chai Xiyang was sick five years ago. He had been good to her then, but later she found out he was only using her to alleviate his boredom while ill.

It was also because he wanted to take revenge on her more deeply, to hurt her.

Is it still the same purpose behind his actions now?

Although Qiao Ning knew Chai Xiyang had changed, she still felt inexplicably uneasy.

Because she was truly afraid history would repeat itself.

Even though Qiao Ning knew Chai Xiyang really liked her, she still doubted, still feared.

What was wrong today; why was she feeling so negative?

Was it because she had ‘lost’ her mother, that she was so pessimistic?

Qiao Ning didn’t know how to ease such emotions, nor did she know how to face Chai Xiyang when she returned. Then, after sending Li An away, she left alone.

Yes, she left.

Qiao Ning was gone!

After seeing Kong Minjuan, she suddenly left, and no one knew where she went.

Upon receiving this news, Chai Xiyang immediately started searching for her everywhere, but couldn’t find her anywhere.

One day, two days… Qiao Ning had been missing for five days.

Chai Xiyang searched everywhere for her, almost going mad with worry!

He went more than once to trouble Kong Minjuan, pressing her for where Qiao Ning had gone, what she had said to Qiao Ning, but he got nothing from her.

Moreover, with Li An as a witness, Kong Minjuan really hadn’t said much to Qiao Ning.

The things she had said, Chai Xiyang had guessed before Qiao Ning went to see her.

But why did Qiao Ning want to hide?

Was it because she felt sad, or was there some other reason?

While Chai Xiyang was searching everywhere for Qiao Ning, she was quietly staying in a hotel.
