Loved By An Older Man Novel - Chapter 1252

1252 Basement

Qiao Shen shouted so loudly that Jiang Yu and Chang Kai’s eardrums almost burst.

“It’s just a little mouse. Why is he so scared?” Chang Kai covered his ears and complained to Jiang Yu in a low voice.

Jiang Yu also found it unbelievable. After thinking about it, the only explanation was that “the rich young master had never seen such a thing.”

Qiao Shen’s scream quickly attracted Qiao Rui’s attention. She rushed over and asked loudly, “What are you shouting about?”

!!
Qiao Shen was so scared that he hid behind Qiao Rui and stuttered, “Rats! There are rats!”

“A mouse can scare you like this?” Qiao Rui couldn’t help but curse, “can you be any more useless? The Qiao family is really unlucky with you around. You don’t even have the guts to say that you want to marry Qiao Yun?”

Chang Kai and Jiang Yu, who were behind the grape rack, were stunned when they heard this.

Did Qiao Shen really like Qiao Yun? And Qiao Rui already knew?

Then why did he say he didn’t know?

Qiao Shen was still unconvinced, “what does my fear of rats have to do with me wanting to marry Qiao Yun? Could it be that he could marry her just because he was not afraid of rats? Besides, even if I’m not afraid of rats anymore, will you let me marry Qiao Yun?”

Qiao Rui punched him hard and said, “Little brat, don’t tell me this! Hurry up and go back to your room to pack your things. We’ll take a plane and leave this place immediately tomorrow!”

“What about Qiao Yun? Are we just going to leave her here? And you, aren’t you coming with me?”

“You don’t have to worry about my business, just mind your own business!” Qiao Rui reprimanded loudly, “and that Qiao Yun. You can’t even save yourself now. Why do you still care about her? ” Who’s more important, you or her?”

She didn’t wait for Qiao Shen’s reply and went straight back into the house.

Qiao Shen stood there in a daze for a while, then sighed heavily and went back to his room to pack his things.

After they left, Chang Kai said in horror, “Qiao Rui and Qiao Shen are in cahoots? They actually know that Qiao Yun isn’t dead?”

Jiang Yu had never expected things to turn out this way.

Was Qiao Rui really Qiao Yun’s mother? What was the relationship between Qiao Shen and Qiao Rui?

Why did this matter develop to this point, and become so chaotic?

However, Jiang Yu quickly calmed down and said to Chang Kai, “We need to leave this place. We’ll talk about this after we get back.”

“Alright,” he said.

As they spoke, the two of them came out from behind the grape trellis, planning to leave this place. However, Jiang Yu felt as if she was not stepping on solid ground but something else.

She looked around in confusion and realized that she was standing on a wooden board. Upon closer inspection, Jiang Yu realized that it was the entrance to a cellar.

Chang Kai had already climbed to the top of the wall. He turned around and said to Jiang Yu, “Jiang Yu, hurry up and come up! Quick, I’ll give you a hand!”

“Wait a moment!” Jiang Yu called out to Chang Kai, “there’s a cellar here!”

“Underground cellar?” Chang Kai was stunned and quickly came down from the wall. He asked, “What cellar?”

Jiang Yu quickly pointed at the cellar under her feet and said, “This is it, and it’s locked.”

Chang Kai thought for a while and guessed, “it should be something like storing wine, right? After all, the Qiao family is a big family. It’s normal for them to have their own cellar.”

“If it really is a place to store wine, why would there be two locks?” Jiang Yu retorted, “and you want to hide it under the grape trellis? If I didn’t step on this place, I’m afraid I would never know that there’s a cellar here.”

After Jiang Yu said that, Chang Kai also noticed the abnormality of the cellar.

“Then this cellar … Is there something that you can’t let others see?” Chang Kai asked.

“If it’s not the innocent people in the Qiao family, it’s probably Qiao Yun,” Jiang Yu guessed.

But no matter which possibility it was, this cellar must be hiding Qiao Rui and Qiao Shen’s Secret.

“Let’s leave this place first, and then think of a way to come in.” Jiang Yu said, “we don’t have the key. No matter how long we stay here, it’s a waste of time.”

“Yes.”

Chang Kai quickly climbed over the wall and pulled Jiang Yu out with him.

“Let’s go,” he said. Chang Kai pulled Jiang Yu and jogged out.

Chang Kai only stopped when he was on the road. He panted and said to Jiang Yu, “the Qiao family is too scary. If we didn’t come today, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have found out about this.”

“We’ve thought of things too simply.” Jiang Yu muttered.
