Chapter 109 - Quan Jue’s Mom Was Killed by Me in a Car Crash
Quan Jue’s mother passed away early. He was adopted by Chi Mingwei from the orphanage. Chi Jiao had always been very curious as to why Chi Mingwei adopted Quan Jue. Could it be that he had some kind of relation to Quan Jue’s mother?
“We don’t know each other.” Chi Mingwei sighed. “Quan Jue’s mother was killed by me in a car crash.”
Chi Jiao’s pupils constricted abruptly.
Chi Mingwei’s gaze was a little misty. It was clear that he was immersed in his memories. His voice continued to ring in Chi Jiao’s ears.
“It was raining that night. I was driving to your grandfather’s place and ran over Quan Jue’s mother on the way. She suddenly crawled out from the bushes by the road, and I didn’t have the time to brake.” When Chi Mingwei recalled that memory, his face was filled with pain, and his eyes were filled with guilt. “She appeared so suddenly, Jiaojiao. I didn’t do it on purpose. Later on, after the police’s investigation, I learned that she was mentally ill and had escaped from a mental institution. At that time, she had a relapse. That’s why she deliberately ran into my car.”
When Chi Jiao heard this, she frowned. “Brother Quan hates you because of this?”
Chi Mingwei nodded. “Quan Jue now believes that I’m the murderer of his mother. He didn’t know that his mother was mentally ill. His grandmother deliberately hid this from him, and I didn’t tell him. Later, after his grandmother passed away, he became an orphan and was sent to the orphanage. After I learned this, I brought him back to our house.”
Chi Jiao fell silent after hearing that.
This was indeed a problem.
This reason was really unexpected.
No wonder Quan Jue’s personality was so gloomy and strange. Growing up in hatred, it was very difficult for him not to grow up differently.
Chi Mingwei looked at her and sighed. “Jiaojiao, Daddy knows that you’re at the age of your first awakening of love. You’re a smart child, and you don’t need Daddy to teach you what to do, so Daddy respects your choices.”
He had told Jiaojiao what he needed to say. The rest would depend on her.
…
Chi Jiao’s eyebrows were still furrowed slightly when she walked out of the study.
Zhu Limin had been waiting outside. When she saw Chi Jiao frowning as she came out, a look of schadenfreude flashed across her eyes.
She knew that no matter how much Chi Mingwei spoiled Chi Jiao, he wouldn’t want her to have too much interaction with that despicable adopted son.
Chi Jiao ignored her and went straight to her room.
After returning to her room, Chi Jiao hesitated for a moment before giving Na Yankun a call.
“Master Jiao, it’s been a while.” Na Yankun’s rough voice was filled with incomparable joy.
“Help me investigate someone.” Chi Jiao remembered that Quan Jue’s mother was called Lin Yue.
“Just say what you need.” Na Yankun was currently in the mall. He unconsciously bent down while still on the phone with a respectful expression, attracting many gazes, but he didn’t mind at all.
“I want you to investigate a person named Lin Yue. She passed away in a car accident. The driver was my father,” Chi Jiao said calmly. “I want detailed information about her.”
Na Yankun couldn’t quite figure out what Chi Jiao was doing, but he still agreed.
“Oh, right. Master Jiao, we have a business deal.” Na Yankun had originally wanted to look for her as well.
“I’m on leave now,” Chi Jiao said nonchalantly.
“Alright. We won’t do this deal, then.” Na Yankun remembered that this business deal seemed to be for the Old Master of the Lan family. However, since Master Jiao was unwilling to accept it, it didn’t matter who the other party was.
“Okay, do what I’ve requested of you quickly.” Chi Jiao cared more about Lin Yue now.
“Okay.”
