Chapter 785 -785: How Can We Trust the Murderer’s Words?
“I don’t need your feigned concern!”
Qiao Yin looked at him coldly: “But I need to know, what exactly did you do to my mother back then!”
“I didn’t do anything to her, why would you ask such a question? I’ve told you before, we were mutual lovers, I liked her, and she liked me. I only lied to her about the divorce, apart from that, I didn’t lie to her nor harm her in any way.”
“That’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it now, but you will one day.”
As she spoke, Qiao Yin took out the pile of gifts Gu Chengqiao had given her from her bag and threw them on his table, “This is your stuff, I won’t accept them. Don’t think that a little gift can make up for your past mistakes. No matter what wrongs my mother had to suffer in the past, I will claim justice for her.”
Unable to bear it, Gu Chengqiao said, “She didn’t suffer any injustice. I’ve always treated her well and gave in to her every request.”

Qiao Yin picked up all the photos on the table and put them back in her bag, “That’s not what my mother’s facial expression says in these photos.”
“A photograph can’t tell everything, why don’t you believe me? Everything I said is true.”
Of course, Qiao Yin didn’t believe him. She still suspected that he was the murderer who killed her mother.
How could the words of a murderer be trusted?
“If you didn’t do anything to my mother, what about Madam Gu? Did she do something to my mother?”
Qiao Yin probed further, “I’m just the daughter of my mother, yet she wouldn’t even let me off the hook. If Gu Jing hadn’t arrived in time, I’m afraid she would have completely ruined my face. Didn’t she want to ruin my mother’s life during that time?”
Upon hearing her words, Gu Chengqiao suddenly fell silent.
Seeing his silence, Qiao Yin knew something was up. She cried out, “Speak up, did she do anything to my mother?!”
Touched by her cries, Gu Chengqiao finally said, “Yes, but…”
“What? But what?”
“My wife once threatened your mother with your grandmother, asking her to leave me, otherwise…”
Gu Chengqiao suddenly stopped, trying to explain, “It was just a threat back then, my wife didn’t actually know where your grandmother lived. She didn’t do anything specific, so your mother wasn’t really hurt at that time.”
Qiao Yin took a step back, feeling a chill in her heart, “Grandmother… she used my grandmother as a threat?”
Then, did her grandmother know about this?
Her grandmother had always advised her that she could treat Old Sir Gu, but she forbade her from sticking around Gu’s house for too long or having any contact with the Gu family members!
How much did grandmother know, exactly? Was she hurt at that time?
Qiao Yin only felt a tightening in her heart and had some difficulty breathing. She looked at Gu Chengqiao with tears in her eyes, “You made it sound so easy! It was just a threat? If my face hadn’t been half-ruined by Hou Jinhua, I might have believed your lies!”
Not knowing where grandma lives is a barefaced lie!
With the Gu family’s influence, finding out her mother’s ancestral home and residence would be a piece of cake!
The first time she met Gu Guotai, Qiao Yin had her doubts when she heard him telling Gu Chengsong that they couldn’t get hold of her mother.
It wouldn’t be difficult for the Gu family to find someone, but they somehow couldn’t find her mother, this was quite odd.
Gu Guotai was looking for her mother to treat his leg. He wouldn’t have held back.
Unless, someone deliberately hid her whereabouts.
“Qiao Yin, please don’t be so hostile toward me. I don’t need to lie to you now. Also, even though I deceived your mother, I’ve always treated her well and protected her. Besides, she was Old Sir Gu’s personal doctor and he has always looked after her. She was never wronged. You’re just overthinking things.”
