"You're talking nonsense!" Yu Xinlan stood up suddenly, her eyes were bloodshot, she was extremely emotional, and her hands were clenched into fists.
Qiao Nian took out his phone and threw it to her: "You can call your family and ask if I'm lying to you."
"I won't believe you!"
Yu Xinlan supported herself on the table with both hands, her eyes were red and she was breathing heavily.
Qiao Nian just raised his head and let her look.
Yu Xinlan could not hold out for more than five minutes in this suffocating atmosphere before she grabbed the phone in front of her and walked aside to make a call.
She called Yu Qingliu first.
But no one answered the phone.
Yu Xinlan's heart sank.
She had to call the housekeeper.
Fortunately, Yu Xinlan got through quickly this time: "Hello, it's me, Yu Xinlan."
She just finished.
The old housekeeper's tired and hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone: "Miss, you finally called me."
"How is home?" Yu Xinlan didn't want to tell him all these trivial things, so she asked him quickly.
After a night of ups and downs, the Yu family's housekeeper had collapsed. Hearing this, he was silent for a while and asked, "Are you with Qiao... Doctor Qiao?"
Yu Xinlan frowned and said impatiently: "Don't bother me. I asked you how your family is doing."
The old housekeeper said with a trembling voice: "The Yu family is gone."
"Miss, you are now the only hope of the Yu family. Old Yu was still thinking about you before he passed away."
"Listen to me. No matter what Dr. Qiao asks you to do, don't refuse and don't offend her, understand?"
Yu Xinlan listened to the trembling voice of the housekeeper on the other end of the phone, her shoulders trembling, her eyes turned red, and tears were about to come out.
She really wanted to ask why the Yu family was finished.
What about the royal family of M? What about the hidden family
Don’t these people care about the Yu family
But these words were stuck in her throat like a fishbone, unable to be pulled out or spoken, because she had already guessed the reason.
—The hidden family gave up the Yu family.
Yu Xinlan hung up the phone, as if she had matured all of a sudden.
She silently returned the phone to Qiao Nian. She was much calmer than she had expected. When she faced the girl again, her tone was not as aggressive as before.
"What do you want to know about Lu Zhi?"
Yu Xinlan raised her chin habitually, then reacted, lowered her head with a gloomy look in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "I can tell you everything I know, including some secrets of the hidden family, but... I have a request."
"Please let my grandfather go."
The Yu family has paid the price.
She knew that everything was irreversible.
Yu Xinlan now understood that the only request she could make was... to save their lives.
She originally thought that Qiao Nian would not agree to her request, and would even continue to threaten her with the Yu family. But the girl was more forthcoming than she thought: "Okay."
Yu Xinlan didn't believe it at first, but when she met the girl's eyes, she dodged and pursed her lips to tell her everything she knew.
Qiao Nian has been listening quietly.
Yu Xinlan is just an insignificant little character in the hidden family. The Yu family is just a bottom-tier family among the hidden families. The so-called "secrets" that Yu Xinlan can access are actually just some superficial things.
Qiao Nian was not interested in these.
So when she heard her say that Ji Zinyin had been in touch with the Queen with the help of Yu Qingliu, and was appreciated by the Queen and was to enter the Privy Council...she just supported her chin with her hand and hummed nonchalantly. It was not until Yu Xinlan mentioned something about Lu Zhi that she pursed her lips and her eyes deepened.
Wait for Yu Xinlan to finish speaking.
Qiao Nian stood up, pulled out a chair, stood in front of her and said, "In exchange, I won't go back on my word. You can leave now."
