“It’s not you?” Qiao Mei questioned.
“Of course it’s not me! Back then, it was Liang Jin who tricked Gao Tao into going to the villa! She was the one who asked Gao Tao to meet inside the villa! At that time, I wanted to save Gao Tao! However, the fire went out of control and there was nothing I could do,” Zhang Cheng said.
What Zhang Cheng said were all half-truths. Back then, the last call Gao Tao received was indeed from Liang Jin. This part of the story matched what Liang Shu said.
However, Qiao Mei was now more interested in another issue. She asked curiously, “You said that Zhang Ou is not your child, then whose son is he?”
Back then, Zhang Cheng had fled all the way to Sky City with Liang Jin. With help from the cufflink, Zhang Cheng quickly gained a foothold in Sky City. However, the link between the cufflink and him was very weak, so Zhang Cheng could not make full use of it.
He realized that he would definitely lose money if he ran a business himself. However, if he invested in someone else’s business, he would definitely make a steady profit. Just like that, he accumulated a lot of wealth and gradually became more indulgent and played harder than he worked.
Zhang Cheng and Liang Jin both had Gao Tao’s blood on their hands! The two of them did not trust each other and regarded each other as mortal enemies. For many years, they slept in separate rooms, so there had never been any news of Liang Jin getting pregnant.
In the end, it was Zhang Chengs mistress who became pregnant first. Liang Jin became a joke among the rich wives in Sky City. There were even rumors that Liang Jin was infertile. If this mistress gave birth to a son, then Liang Jin’s position as Mrs. Zhang might be at risk.
If Zhang Cheng decided to kill her, how could she still have a foothold in Sky City? Everything she wanted would go up in smoke.
Liang Jin felt really indignant, so she slept with another man and became pregnant. Then, she used an aphrodisiac to seduce Zhang Cheng and eventually lied to him that she was carrying his child.
The truth was that Zhang Cheng knew everything. He just did not want to fall out with Liang Jin. In any case, he did not want to acknowledge Liang Jin’s son. This was also the reason why Zhang Cheng had spent so much money on his mistresses all these years.
“Oh I see Do you like telling lies?” Qiao Mei looked at Zhang Cheng firmly.
“I’m telling the truth!” Zhang Cheng said.
“Since you hate Liang Jin so much and she even cheated on you, and you also know that she killed my grandmother, why do you still force yourself to marry her?”
“The truth is that you’re my grandmother’s murderer. You’re also the one who instructed Liang Jin to ask my grandmother to meet her at the villa. From the beginning to the end, you are the real culprit and Liang Jin is just your accomplice,” Qiao Mei said as she analyzed the situation.
Zhang Cheng stared fixedly at Qiao Mei. She was what he expected from someone who was Gao Tao’s descendant. Qiao Mei looked exactly like Gao Tao when Gao Tao exposed him and Liang Jin. They were both so smart and beautiful.
“Speak up! Are you the one!” Gao Lin rushed forward and grabbed Zhang Chengs collar as he shouted agitatedly.
“Just let me go! I’ll give you all the Zhang family’s assets! Doesn’t your Gao family want to make a comeback? I’ll give you money! I’ll help you! I’ll give you everything! Please let me go! Spare my life!” Zhang Cheng said anxiously.
“Asshole! You’re really the culprit! You killed my sister! Did you also cause my wife’s death? And my parents’ death, my son’s death and my grandson being poisoned!” Gao Lin roared.
Zhang Cheng said fearfully, ‘ It has nothing to do with me… It has nothing to do with me…
The Gao family were quite established in Sky City. In addition, they used to have a successful business in Hu City and they had made a lot of money. Their business here was also doing very well, but gradually, all kinds of situations started popping up in the Gao family.
Gao Lin’s parents died in a car accident in the suburbs because of a brake failure. Gao Lin’s wife was murdered on the streets by a brute who suddenly went crazy. Gao Ning and his wife, as well as Gao Long, were involved in a car accident while on a business trip. All these were the doings of the Zhang family. Each and every incident was like a sharp knife stabbing into Gao Lin’s heart.
Qiao Mei did not participate in what happened next. She and Xia He turned around and left, leaving Gao Lin and Zhang Cheng to deal with the past grudges between them. Qiao Mei had already gotten the answer she wanted to know.
The cufflink in her hand felt slightly hot. It seemed that the cufflink really had some kind of connection with Zhang Cheng, but he was not a member of the Gao family after all. Therefore, he could not sense the cufflink’s existence..
