Chapter 1376 - 1393: I Have the Right to Know the Truth
Early the next morning, Xiaonuan received a call from Liang Shaochen.
I’ve got the stuff.
Coffee shop.
On the high wooden chairs at the front, a young curly-haired mixed-race boy was intently playing the violin, with the melodious strains flowing from the strings, filling the entire café.
Xiaonuan stood at the door, backlit, glancing inside, and saw Liang Shaochen in a white shirt waving at her from a window seat.
Xiaonuan hurried forward.
"You came quickly."
Liang Shaochen said with a smile.
At this moment, a waiter came over and asked them what they would like to drink.
"Where’s the stuff?" Xiaonuan asked anxiously.
"A cappuccino for her, and I’ll have an Americano, thank you." Liang Shaochen politely said.
The waiter nodded and left.
Liang Shaochen looked at the anxious Xiaonuan, leisurely placing his elbows on the table. His gaze was clear yet seemed to hide some complexity.
He stared at her, and said, "I’ll give you the stuff, but you must first tell me what you need it for."
Xiaonuan looked at Liang Shaochen, momentarily speechless.
"I... I..."
"Xiaonuan, that matter is not unrelated to me either, I think I have the right to know some things."
Liang Shaochen looked deeply at her, his black pupils carrying a hint of determination.
Xiaonuan was defeated by his gaze, she even found it difficult to meet his eyes, and looked down, staring at the light wood-grained coffee table.
She bit her lower lip.
"I think you’ve already thought about some of this." Originally, she had hoped he could live happily with Nangong Zhongli, but now... thinking of Nangong Zhongli’s true face, she no longer thought that way at all.
Liang Shaochen is smart; she guessed he would understand.
She raised her eyes, and sure enough, Liang Shaochen’s eyes did not show surprise, but rather a touch of sullenness.
"Is this matter done by Nangong Zhongli?" he looked at her, asked with a somber face.
Xiaonuan remained silent.
Liang Shaochen leaned over, handing a document from the chair beside him to Xiaonuan.
"If I’m not mistaken, what you’re looking for should be the sales record of that necklace, right?"
Xiaonuan took the document and opened it.
Sure enough, on it were the final sales records for a certain necklace from the jewelry company.
So he had already suspected something, no wonder he hadn’t questioned anything that day.
Moreover, if he had investigated all the jewelry sales data as she asked, it would not have been completed so quickly, but he only had them look into the sales record and customer information of this necklace, making the matter much simpler.
Liang Shaochen was much smarter than she had imagined.
Xiaonuan looked through the records.
Indeed, on the printed material, under a certain date and time, was written the name Nangong Zhongli.
Xiaonuan’s face turned somewhat pale.
"Xiaonuan... tell me, what is going on?" Liang Shaochen looked at her and asked.
A Maybach sports car was slowly driving down the highway.
Nangong Yaoling personally directed the car, turning it to stop in front of a coffee shop with tall floor-to-ceiling windows.
The man gripped the steering wheel, his deep gaze gradually looking into the café.
Meanwhile, at a window seat on the second floor, Xiaonuan and Liang Shaochen sat facing each other.
She was holding a document.
Nangong Yaoling took a deep breath.
A waiter placed two cups of coffee in front of Xiaonuan and Liang Shaochen respectively.
Xiaonuan looked up, suddenly thinking of something, her eyes shimmering with tears.
