Chapter 31 - 026: Your Ribs Aren’t Even as Expensive as Pork Chops
Yi Luowa stared at him silently, signaling him to continue speaking.
"Before the car accident, Xi Meichen went to see him. After the accident, Bai Bowen called Xi Meichen."
Yi Luowa furrowed her brows and mouthed, "Are you suggesting that the car accident might not have been an accident, but rather premeditated?"
"Didn't you have suspicions at the time and ask Li Hua to look into it?"
"But I found nothing." Yi Luowa shook her head.
Tong Airui glanced at the doorway, saw Yuan Hang keeping watch outside, and lowered his voice, "Just because nothing has come to light for now doesn't mean nothing ever will. I've already sent people to keep an eye on them."
Yi Luowa cradled her head in one hand, shutting her eyes in anguish. She would rather the car accident had been an accident than have to accept that she might have such a malicious mother. But reality was so cruel—who ordered the removal of Second Uncle's oxygen mask? Who rushed in to seize Second Uncle's property immediately after news of his death broke?
Tong Airui displayed remarkable patience, giving her time to slowly collect herself.
Yi Luowa finally struggled through her pain and looked at Tong Airui, mouthing, "Why didn't you let Uncle Li tell me sooner? Why are you helping me?"
"Li Hua grew up by your Second Uncle's side. I've investigated him, and he's absolutely loyal. I didn't let him tell you because he's unrefined, and you hold a grudge against me—if he couldn't explain it properly, I worried it would cause an even bigger misunderstanding. I thought once the morning's farce was over, you'd come to me, and then I'd tell you myself. But you didn't come."
Yi Luowa mouthed bitterly, "I genuinely don't want to see you! Seeing you makes me sick!"
