Chapter 289: Zheng Yue’s Whereabouts Were Exposed
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the end, Murong Qiao still got what she wanted.
Unfortunately, halfway through her meal with lluo Yichen, she received a call. It seemed that the Huo family had something on and had to leave first.
Helpless, Murong Qiao went back to the school dormitory.
“Wuhu! Qiaoqiao, you’re finally back! 1 feel like 1 haven’t seen you for quite a number of days!” Yang Xin pounced on her.
Murong Qiao was already used to her intimate behavior. After hugging Yang Xin, she sat back in her chair.
Murong Qiao could not take Yang Xin’s excessive enthusiasm.
She patted her on the back. “Why do I feel like you’re about to cry? I’ve only been away for two days.”
“A day apart is like three autumns apart,” Yang Xin replied with a smile.
Murong Qiao first placed everything on the table, then glanced around the dormitory and realized that Yang Xin was alone here.
Yang Xin saw her confusion and explained, “Leng Yan seems to have taken leave to go home.”
This was also why she was so excited when she saw Murong Qiao return just now. Yang Xin had been alone in the dormitory for the entire day today. She was really too bored.
“By the way, do we have any homework for the next two days?” Murong Qiao turned on the computer and asked.
She had been a little busy recently, so she did not pay much attention to the school. Although the tutor had applied for leave, she still had to hand in her homework as usual.
Yang Xin nodded. She found her phone and sent her a list of homework.
“You don’t know. Recently, Professor Murong feels like a different person. Not only are the things taught in cla.s.s difficult to understand, but he also left a lot of homework.” Speaking of this, Yang Xin felt that it was ridiculous.
For the past two days, when Murong Qiao was not around, Yang Xin and Leng Yan went to cla.s.s and they could clearly feel that Professor Murong’s cla.s.s had suddenly become so difficult.
In fact, the difficulty seemed to have increased exponentially.
She was even secretly discussing with Leng Yan if Professor Murong had taken the wrong medicine.
“Ahem.” Murong Qiao coughed awkwardly but politely.
Her intuition told her that the increase in difficulty was probably related to her and Huo Yichen.
Yang Xin did not notice the flash of guilt in Murong Qiao’s eyes. She was still complaining helplessly. After all, it was not easy for her to find someone to talk to today.
Yang Xin didn’t stop. “Speaking of which, 1 don’t think I saw Zheng Yue this semester. Could it be that she changed majors? But…”
At the mention of Zheng Yue, Murong Qiao looked at her cell phone belatedly.
She had been out having fun the whole day and had not read much news.
She reached for her phone and unlocked the screen. As expected, she saw a few messages from Zheng Yue.
[Qiaoqiao, I’m out of money… Can you give me some more?]
[Qiaoqiao?]
[1 don’t mean to keep borrowing money from you. It’s just that my stomach really hurts now, but I don’t have the money to go to the hospital for a checkup… Moreover, based on our relationship, I will definitely return this money to you in the future!]
[I just want to borrow some money, Qiaoqiao. Reply me when you see it.]
The other party saw that Murong Qiao didn’t reply at first and sent more and more messages. Then, she sent the last message after a while.
Looking at her undignified appearance, Murong Qiao’s originally smiling eyebrows gradually turned cold. However, it was only for a moment before she chuckled again.
There was a hint of coldness and sarcasm in this smile, as if it was looking at the person behind it through the messages.
Murong Qiao typed and transferred the money in one go, saying that she had not seen the message just now.
If it weren’t for the fact that Zheng Yue was still useful, Murong Qiao’s remaining patience with her would have disappeared.
[Thankyou, Qiaoqiao!]
This time, Zheng Yue only sent these words quickly. Perhaps it was to thank her symbolically, but she couldn’t even be bothered to say that she would definitely return the money.
Murong Qiao didn’t say anything. Instead, she flipped through the photos Zheng Yue had sent her in the chat recently.
Zheng Yue’s stomach seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and her figure was much more voluptuous. She looked more than a circle rounder.
Probably because there was no one to talk to, Zheng Yue would sometimes send her some daily messages.
[1 feel like vomiting recently, but I’m always craving sour food. Could it be that I’m really pregnant with a boy?]
[I feel like I can eat a lot more now. [Picture] If it was in the past, this big table of dishes would feed me for an entire day.]
There were countless such news. Murong Qiao’s gaze quickly swept through every piece of news until the end.
It was a pregnancy test report that Zheng Yue had sent her.
[I’m going to be a mother in a month.] This was what Zheng Yue added.
Seeing this message, Murong Qiao’s fingers paused.
The time was ripe.
Yang Xin, who was at the side, finally felt a little thirsty after talking a lot. Her attention was focused on finding water, so she did not notice that Murong Qiao did not say much. Instead, she was focused on looking at her cell phone.
“I’m back…” Leng Yan’s voice came from the door.
The dormitory door was pushed open in the next second. She saw Leng Yan standing at the door with a suitcase, greeting the two of them.
This time, the three people in the dormitory were gathered. As soon as Leng Yan returned, Yang Xin’s mouth, which had just stopped moving, became restless again. As a result, the atmosphere became lively.
While the two of them were talking, Murong Qiao sent out a message on her phone.
[Call them to come back. There’s no need to cover for Zheng Yue anymore.]
When Zheng Yue returned to her hometown to recuperate, Murong Qiao had been covering for Zheng Yue. Otherwise, with Zheng Yue’s own ability, her whereabouts would have been figured out by Nan Kang long ago.
After she sent the message, the other party immediately replied. [Roger.]
Murong Qiao knew very well that if her men retreated, Nan Kang would probably immediately receive news of Zheng Yue’s whereabouts.
At this moment, Zheng Yue was still living peacefully in her hometown with Murong Qiao’s money. She had no idea what was about to happen to her.
Little did she know that Nan Kang had never believed her after she told him that she was going back to her hometown.
Last time, Zheng Yue had moved house and secretly raised the baby herself. This matter had always been etched in Nan Kang’s mind and caused him to lose his trust.
Therefore, even though he had found out from his most trusted a.s.sistant that Zheng Yue had completed her abortion, it did not reduce his desire to control her.
The hurried footsteps approached from afar and stopped outside Nan Kang’s office.
Nan Kang was immersed in his own thoughts and didn’t hear them.
Zheng Yue had been gone for nearly a month, and there had been no news at all during this period. Nan Kang vaguely felt that something was out of his control.
Then, the door was pushed open, bringing Nan Kang back to his senses. He looked up at the a.s.sistant who came in.
“I… found her.” The a.s.sistant braced himself and reported.
The message had just been sent, but the a.s.sistant would rather not have seen it. He held his cell phone in surprise and swallowed secretly when he met Nan Kang’s angry gaze.
For the first time, the a.s.sistant had doubts about his own abilities, as well as doubts about the news, and whether it was true.
Because he had seen Zheng Yue’s abortion with his own eyes, but
Nan Kang looked at his most valued a.s.sistant. “Speak.”
The a.s.sistant could even hear her voice trembling. “She—she went back to rent a house where she’s… nourishing the baby..”
