Chapter 209 Big Reversal
"Didn't you just say you don't remember?" The aunt looked at her warily, her hands nervously crossed together, the joints of her fingers turning white, and she bit her lower lip tightly, which showed that she was nervous about raising this issue at this moment. Also, she might know that she had been implanted with memories, and she might be lying. Of these two possibilities, she would rather believe the latter.
"I don't remember the truth, but my memory only has that illusion!" Meng Zhiling raised her eyebrows, her eyes fixed on her. There was no need for any aggressive questions, the faint indifference was enough to put pressure on her.
She hadn't expected that after her rebirth, the issue of her identity and family background would lead to so many melodramatic plots. No one could catch up with her, Meng Zhiling.
"What illusion?" asked the aunt cautiously.
"Don't worry about the illusion for now. If what you just said is true, then my memory must be an illusion. And if my memory is true, then you are lying. Tell me, who did you make up this moving story for?" Meng Zhiling slammed her hand on the coffee table and asked harshly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the coffee table collapsed to the ground with a bang, and the fruits, tea cups and other things on the table were scattered all over the floor.
"Haha, if I could make up a story, I would definitely not take the initiative to stand up and say that I was the murderer. Everything I said is true. As for what's wrong with your memory, I really don't know. Maybe you were unconscious at the time and had some hallucinations. To be honest, I didn't want to kill you, but I had no choice. You were the only one who discovered that it was me who set the fire. But fortunately, you were unconscious and lost your memory afterwards, so I escaped a disaster and don't feel so guilty." The aunt smiled slightly. She spoke so nonchalantly about the matter of wiping out Meng Zhiling's family, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"Since you are sure that I don't remember and the police haven't traced it back to you, why do you choose to tell me now?" Meng Zhiling looked at her coldly. Although what she said was somewhat credible, it was also full of doubts.
The corners of the aunt's mouth curved up again, not as if she was mocking Meng Zhiling's question, nor as if she was mocking herself. Meng Zhiling felt that she was becoming less and less able to understand her feelings.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you now to avenge my adoptive parents?" Meng Zhiling was born again, but she was still unsure. She didn't know if she was becoming more and more soft-hearted. In short, she just couldn't bring herself to do that cruel thing.
If she killed her aunt now, she thought, she would not get the pleasure of revenge, but it would become increasingly difficult to track her down.
"There's nothing wrong with you killing me. It's always been my wish to go down and see your adoptive father as soon as possible. Now, Meng Yu has grown up and found a good in-law family. I have no regrets." This time, the aunt couldn't control her emotions. Two lines of tears flowed down her face. She was so excited that she couldn't breathe properly.
"Haha, women really are the most vicious." Meng Zhiling said helplessly with a sarcastic sneer on her face and shook her head.
"I will spare your life for now. When I find out the truth, I will definitely give you a good explanation. Then you can go see the man you have cared about all your life." After Meng Zhiling finished speaking, she picked up her bag and walked out of the villa.
After what happened tonight, she thought she would probably never come here again.
"Zhiling..." When Meng Zhiling was about to walk out the door, her aunt called her again. Meng Zhiling paused, but in the end she did not look back or stop.
Seeing Meng Zhiling's attitude, the aunt did not ask the last question in the end, and collapsed on the ground again.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow!" Unexpectedly, Meng Zhiling's voice came back again. Her lost mood suddenly became excited. She stood up tremblingly and looked at Meng Zhiling's departing back with a smile.
Qiao Surong had just finished taking a shower and was lying in bed, unable to fall asleep when he heard footsteps downstairs. He quickly jumped out of bed and sneaked out of the bedroom without even turning on the light, wanting to see which thief was so bold as to visit his place.
"Ah..." Meng Zhiling happened to be going upstairs and saw a sneaky figure. She screamed and immediately turned on the light.
"Wife?"
"Qiao Surong?"
"Why is it you?" Qiao Surong frowned. After the panic, he was indeed happy. It happened that his wife came back. It seemed that he could still have a good sleep tonight.
He was used to sleeping with her in his arms, so it was really uncomfortable to leave her all of a sudden. God knows how he spent the long night when she went to Ming's house.
"Why can't it be me? Are you still waiting for another woman at home?" Meng Zhiling rolled her eyes at him, threw her bag and smashed it directly towards Qiao Surong, but fortunately Qiao Surong dodged quickly, otherwise, with her speed and strength, he might really be disfigured.
"I swear to God, I just thought it was some daring thief." Qiao Surong raised four fingers of his right hand and said seriously. When faced with such a problem, he would never dare to smile or laugh. After all, this was the best time to show loyalty.
"I think you are the thief, sneaking around. Tell me, do you want to steal someone? Believe it or not, I will break all three of your legs!" Meng Zhiling stood up domineeringly and flew directly to the second floor. She came in front of Qiao Surong, stood on tiptoe, grabbed Qiao Surong's nightgown, but because of her height, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't lift him up, so she had to pull his neck down domineeringly.
"How dare I, my wife." Qiao Surong chuckled, then stole a kiss on Meng Zhiling's cheek, and said in a asking for a beating.
"Okay, silly girl, what's wrong? Why do you look so bad? Did something happen?" Qiao Surong quickly stopped Meng Zhiling's other hand from attacking his vital parts, then hugged her tightly in his arms and asked with great concern.
Seeing how angry she was, I knew that something unpleasant must have happened. If I had known earlier, I should have stayed to accompany her. I regretted it so much, but it was too late.
So, Meng Zhiling briefly told Qiao Surong what her aunt had just told her, and asked him as an outsider to analyze it. After all, she might not be so calm and there were many issues that she could not think about so comprehensively.
"What do you think about this matter?" Meng Zhiling asked after she finished explaining what happened.
"Maybe she is right, but your memory is confused. There may be other hidden secrets. Or, your aunt wanted to kill everyone in the Meng family except you and Meng Yu. Of course, Meng Yu was abroad at the time and she didn't know anything about it. Your aunt also went abroad the day after the incident. I think she wanted to escape, but what she didn't expect was that the police didn't find anything on her, so she chose to return home later. Maybe she just had the motive and took action, but the real cause of your adoptive parents' death was not your aunt." Qiao Surong frowned, thought seriously for a while, and finally came to this conclusion.
"You mean, all the people who wanted to kill my adoptive parents gathered together that day? What a coincidence?" Meng Zhiling couldn't believe his bold guess. After all, it was too crazy.
"What's impossible? Think about it, my mother's car accident and your parents' car accident were two separate incidents. Some coincidences are really man-made." Qiao Surong frowned, lifted her hand, and looked at her with heartache. She seemed to have lost some weight recently.
"Okay, I'll let Heizi investigate again tomorrow. Su Rong, after this incident, I think I will go to the United States for a while." Meng Zhiling finally made this decision.
"Are you going to find Meng Fan and the others?" Qiao Surong's tightly furrowed brows never relaxed. He knew that this day would come eventually, but he didn't expect that she would put this matter on the agenda so soon.
Meng Zhiling didn't answer, but just nodded slightly.
She was afraid that if she didn't take action, it would be too late. She had to get rid of this serious problem before she could live the rest of her life in peace.
"Meng Meng, you will be fine. I will definitely find a way to clear the remaining poison in your body. Don't worry, after we resolve the big issue with Meng Fan, we can live a peaceful and stable life in the future." Qiao Surong hugged Meng Zhiling tightly in his arms, not knowing whether he was comforting himself or Meng Zhiling.
"Okay, we'll get married after I've avenged myself. When we're old, we'll choose an uninhabited island to live on and enjoy our old age there." Meng Zhiling nodded in response. This was her dream life, but whether it could be realized was still an unknown.
But you still have to have dreams, just in case they come true.
"By the way, you go to sleep first. I have something else to do. I went to see Yuan Yongkai's father, our Number One, today. I have to see what kind of thing makes him so anxious." Meng Zhiling jumped up from Qiao Surong's arms, remembering what Yuan Zhiyuan said yesterday. She had to really estimate the price, so as not to let that big tiger get it for free.
"What's the matter?" Qiao Surong was about to ask, but Meng Zhiling had no intention of answering him at all. She had already left the room, probably to the study.
"Oh..." He could only sigh, shook his head helplessly, took out a book from the bedside table, and waited for her to finish.
In the study, Meng Zhiling took out the things she had "taken" from the two Italians. It had been so long since the incident, and she almost forgot about it when she came back. If Yuan Zhiyuan hadn't come to her today, she would probably have to wait until she had no money to spend before she would remember to take it out and "blackmail" him.
But since he took the initiative to find her today, it means that he is more anxious than herself, so she has to make a serious estimate.
