Chapter 443: The Rapid Fall of the Xiao Family (1)_1
Cao Mengqi knew that Liu Yuhan mistook her for a nurse at the hospital. "Yuhan, it’s me."
"Mengqi, why did you come so late?" When she saw Cao Mengqi, aside from the initial delight, Liu Yuhan began to complain.
But Cao Mengqi wasn’t there to coax the young miss today. She was there because of a problem with her parents. "Yuhan, the reason I haven’t visited you is that both our families, something’s happened to them."
"What, something happened? What happened to my family?" Liu Yuhan shot up in bed anxiously after hearing Cao Mengqi mention her family’s troubles and instantly felt a spasm in her leg followed by a surge of pain. The pain made Liu Yuhan cry out, and tears began to stream from her eyes.
"Yuhan, are you okay?" Since they still needed the help of Liu Yuhan—or, to be more accurate, the help of the Xiao Family, her maternal grandfather’s family—Cao Mengqi pretended to be concerned and asked.
"I’m fine, just hurry up and tell me, what happened to my family?" Liu Yuhan asked urgently.
"Both your parents and mine have been taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission. You know what kind of place that is—once someone is taken in, it’s very difficult for them to come out unscathed. Yuhan, could you speak to your grandfather about this, ask him to pull some strings, to get our parents out of the Discipline Inspection Commission? I’m begging you." To save her own parents, Cao Mengqi deliberately hid the fact that Liu Yuhan’s father, Liu Ping, had a mistress and an illegitimate child outside, because she knew if she brought that up, Liu Yuhan’s attention would focus solely on that issue and put the matter of their parents being taken by the Discipline Inspection Commission to the side, which Cao Mengqi did not want to see.
"You, are you serious? My parents and your parents are in the Discipline Inspection Commission. That’s impossible. With my grandfather around, how could they dare to take my parents?" Although Liu Yuhan verbally expressed disbelief, she was not foolish. Connecting the dots with the absence of anyone from the Xiao Family at the hospital these past few days, she had already half believed what Cao Mengqi told her. "You, give me your phone."
