Chapter 875: Lian Chi’s Mother
When they arrived at the hospital, Zong Yanxiu got out of the car first.
Su Cha did not want to get involved in the Lian family’s matter. Besides, Lian Chi was most likely present.
Zong Yanxiu knew that Su Cha hated the Lian family for some reason. He did not stop her. He and Tan Jinsui went up first.
Su Cha sat alone in the car and waited.
After a while, Tan Jinsui came down first.
He had a cigarette on his lips, which was rare. He looked a little unhappy. When he got into the car, Su Cha asked, “What happened?”
“It’s about the Lian family.”
Tan Jinsui clicked his tongue. “It’s strange. Lian Nuo and Lian Ye were there when I went up, but his third son, Lian Chi, was not. This matter seems to have something to do with his third son.”
Hearing Lian Chi’s name, Su Cha asked casually, “Did he have a heart attack?”
“I don’t understand the Lian family.”
Tan Jinsui took a puff of his cigarette and slowly puffed out his eyes at the opened car door. “I seem to recall, Lian Chi knows you, right? I heard that the two of you were childhood sweethearts?”
“You already know?”
Su Cha raised her eyebrows.
Tan Jinsui chuckled. “After you became famous, I’ve investigated everything. Besides, many people saw Lian Chi talking to you last time. Everyone knows his past ident.i.ty. It’s not strange that you know him.”
“The Lian family is very strange. It was the father who brought him back. Lian Chi is also outstanding, but everything in the Lian family belongs to Lian Ye and Lian Nuo. After all, an illegitimate child can’t compare to the one born from the main wife. It’s said that Lian Chi did not want to come back.”
Su Cha listened to this secret and pondered for a moment. “But his mother was sick at that time. She was seriously ill. They did not have enough money to treat her mother. Later, Lian Xiaofeng found out about it and used this matter as leverage with Lian Chi. He wanted him to return to the Lian family. However, Lian Chi had been with the Lian family for only more than a year when his mother pa.s.sed away, and Lian Chi went overseas to further his studies.”
Su Cha was stunned. “How do you know a lot about their family?”
Tan Jinsui smiled mockingly. “We are all from the same circle. Everyone knows what’s going on. The same for your parents… doesn’t anyone know about the Zuo family? Everyone just doesn’t want to say it. They’re suspicious, but they won’t say it.”
Hearing Tan Jinsui’s words, Su Cha suddenly thought of Lian Chi’s mother.
In her memory, Lian Chi’s mother was also a very gentle person. At that time, she often went to the Lian residence, but was she sick?
At that time, she did not notice it at all. Later, she thought that they had just left, but she did not expect this secret.
“What illness did Lian Chi’s mother die from?”
Tan Jinsui put out the remaining cigarette. “Cancer is unpredictable.”
Su Cha fell silent.
“That’s why I never understood Lian Xiaofeng’s thoughts. If he did not want Lian Chi to compete for the Lian family’s a.s.sets, he should not have let Lian Chi come back in the first place. With his a.s.sets, wouldn’t it be easy to use a million or so to treat her? Why did it end up like this? Just now, I went up to take a look. He’s bed-ridden, and his entire face was grayish-white. He hasn’t woken up yet. I didn’t ask about the details. Only your father talked to Lian Ye and the rest.”
Su Cha understood and did not say anything.
After she waited in the car with Tan Jinsui for a while, Zong Yanxiu came down.
