Chapter 125 - Two Years Ago (1/2)
Li Qin Yao's mood was better after she spent hours chatting with Zhang Yu Han about unimportant stuff.
At first, she was reluctant to pick up his phone call, but who would have thought that by listening to his deep, low voice made her heart calm and slowly, she began to forget about whatever that has been troubling her mind.
That night, she had unexpectedly slept soundly.
When Li Qin Yao went downstairs the next morning, she was not surprised that both her grandparents did not ask anything about her argument with her Second Aunt. Her grandmother, Mu Ling Xi was only concerned that she had disappeared for a long time, after dinner.
Li Qin Yao told her grandmother that she went to take a walk around the garden and later, she found out from Auntie Han that Zhao Wei and Li Mu Chen did not mention anything about last night.
There was no way that Zhao Wei would speak a word, especially after her empty threat last night.
Though Li Qin Yao had long guessed that her Second Auntie was the person who sabotaged her two years ago, Li Qin Yao could not do anything to clean up her name because of the lack of evidence.
In that year, when the others accused her of her involvement in that accident, Li Qin Yao was given three days to prove her innocence.
She had spoken to a few of her trusted friends to help her investigate the matter. After probing into the incident, they did found a few clues. Following the lead, she found out that her aunt had been talking to the manager of the supplier.
Surprisingly, the manager admitted to taking bribes from her aunt to change the materials used.
Just when she thought that she has enough evidence to bring to the board of directors, the manager suddenly disappeared. Without evidence, she had no other choice but to give up and leave QL Group.
Li Qin Yao snapped out of her trance once they have arrived at the headquarters. She followed her grandfather into the building and separated when she met Liang Sheng inside. Li Qin Yao took a seat at the lounge and had a last minutes discussion before the meeting with the Board of Directors.
In the middle of their discussion, Liang Sheng paused and lifted his head. Li Qin Yao followed his gaze and saw Li Ming Han stood at their side with a smile.
Liang Sheng turned to Li Qin Yao and nodded before he tacitly stood up and left.
”You've finished?”
Li Qin Yao rolled her eyes. ”Why are you here? I thought the meeting won't start until later.”
Li Ming Han let out a low laugh. ”Of course I'm here to see you, Cousin Sister. Are you okay? I heard you disappeared last night after dinner.”
”I'm fine,” Li Qin Yao's gaze softened when she saw the concern in her cousin's expression. ”I took a walk in the garden last night. It has been a long time since I last return, so I lost my track of time.”
Li Ming Han frowned as he took a seat beside her. He stared at Li Qin Yao for a while as if contemplating something and spoke. ”The three of you were not the only one in that garden last night. Nan Feng was around in the garden as well.”
