Lu Yan pursed his lips unhappily.
He glanced at Gu Zhou, then got up and left reluctantly with his bag.
He had wanted to hear more gossip.
After Lu Yan left the room, Gu Zhou walked back to the bed and looked down at the girl lying there.
Perhaps it was because of her fever, but her face was flushed red, and her breathing had grown shallower.
She was frowning slightly, as if she were having a nightmare.
After Gu Zhou left the room, he turned and entered the study.
Seeing Chen Qing enter, he asked solemnly, “Have you found any information on Qiao Nian?”
“We’ve already investigated thoroughly!” Chen Qing said with a serious expression.
He handed the documents he had been holding to Gu Zhou and stepped to the side.
“When Madam was born, the Qiao family sent her to live in the mountains.
She was raised by Qiao Shan’s younger sister, Qiao Ling.
“When Madam was ten, Qiao Ling got into a car accident, and Madam was sent to live in a nunnery.
When she turned seventeen, she got into university, and only then was she sent back to live with the Qiao family.”
Gu Zhou’s expression darkened a little.
Spinning a fountain pen in his hand, he said thoughtfully, “She didn’t grow up with the Qiao family.
I guess the Qiao family doesn’t know everything about her either.”
“Madam was sent to a mental hospital because she burned down a school building in university,” Chen Qing said solemnly.
“Mental?
Do you think she’s mentally ill?” Gu Zhou asked in reply.
Chen Qing recalled how magnificent Qiao Nian had been when she dealt with Zheng He.
He said earnestly, “No, I don’t think so.
I believe that the Qiao family is slandering Madam.”
Hearing Chen Qing’s words, Gu Zhou narrowed his phoenix-like eyes.
He recalled the degrading words they had spoken about Qiao Nian when he was at the Qiao family villa.
Frustration flashed across his face.
Gu Zhou gripped the documents in his hand tightly.
“She can control a snake without breaking a sweat.
She’s definitely not as simple as an ordinary person.
She must have undergone professional training.
We have to investigate this matter thoroughly.”
Chen Qing drew a sharp breath.
Now, he understood why the Second Young Master had chosen not to stand up for Qiao Nian directly when others were bullying her at the banquet.
