484 Motive for Murder

Qiao An burst out laughing.

Huo Xiaoran was very happy. “Zhou Zhou, I’m really happy to see your love bloom and bear fruit. Let’s go, I have to celebrate with you.”

Then, Huo Xiaoran entered the house and took out his private collection of expensive red wine. Huo Zhou looked puzzled. “Is there a need?”

Qiao An’s expression was very dark. Xiao Ran’s overly happy expression was probably mixed with the sadness of farewell.

!!

Qiao An said to Huo Zhou, “If my husband is happy, just accept it.”

Then the couple brought the three children to the courtyard next door.

Huo Zhou’s mother and the servants spent the entire afternoon preparing and decorating the originally fresh and elegant courtyard.

Sisi stood under the red tree in a white dress. The scenery and people were perfect.

Qiao An sighed. “She’s so beautiful.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An with disappointment in his eyes. “An’an, I’ve never prepared such a grand ceremony for you.” He felt extremely regretful. He had been too straight in the past and had neglected all his romance. Now, seeing the welcome ceremony his aunt had prepared for Sisi, he felt guilty toward Qiao An.

He subconsciously felt that Qiao An should have what other girls had. Qiao An held his arm and comforted him. “Brother Xiaoran, although I envy Sisi, it doesn’t mean I don’t envy myself.”

She secretly whispered into Xiao Ran’s ear, “Rather than letting Mom prepare a grand banquet for me, it’s not as realistic as my husband personally making breakfast for me.”

She knew that Brother Xiaoran did not have his parents by his side and the regret in his heart could not be made up for. Therefore, her open-mindedness dispelled his guilt.

Xiao Ran said in her ear, “Tomorrow when I return from the mission, I’ll definitely make it up to you.”

Qiao An smiled like a flower.

“Xiaoran, An’an, come here quickly.” Huo Zhou’s mother waved at them.

Huo Xiaoran looked around. It was clearly such a grand and festive scene, but there was no warmth. Xiao Ran asked curiously, “Aunt, where’s Uncle? Why aren’t Grandpa and Grandma here?”

Huo Zhou’s mother sighed. “It’s not like you don’t know that your Aunt Lu left so suddenly. Uncle Lu is a man and can’t handle it at all. Moreover, there are many details and customs for the funeral. Uncle Lu doesn’t know the etiquette of the funeral, so he invited your grandparents over to help.”

At the mention of the Lu family, Huo Zhou couldn’t help but sigh. “Speaking of Aunt Lu, although this person has a temper, she’s very tolerant of your Uncle Lu. When he was young, Uncle Lu made a mistake. For the sake of Uncle Lu’s future, she endured all the grievances alone. Her mother-in-law didn’t treat her well, but she turned a blind eye. I really don’t know what to do without her serving your Uncle Lu in the future.”

Qiao An grabbed the sensitive word. “What mistake did Uncle Lu make when he was young?”

“What mistake can a man make? When your Uncle Lu was young, he had his first girlfriend. However, the Lu family was poor, and the woman’s parents despised him for being poor. Uncle Lu couldn’t reach her, so he turned around and married Aunt Lu aggrievedly. Aunt Lu was overjoyed to be able to marry a university student. She really doted on your Uncle Lu.”

“Later, Uncle Lu’s first girlfriend wanted him back. Aunt Lu made a scene a number of times before she pulled Uncle Lu’s heart back.”

Qiao An’s blood ran cold.

It turned out that there was such a melodramatic separation between Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu.

Qiao An was an online writer and had written many melodramatic stories. She was especially strict with love and was most concerned about Uncle and Aunt Lu’s compromising feelings.

A loveless marriage always hid all kinds of risks.

Qiao An drummed her fingers rhythmically on the table, as if in deep thought.

“Aunt, what about Uncle Lu’s first girlfriend?”

Huo Zhou’s mother blurted out, “She seems to live nearby. She hasn’t remarried and lives with her ex-husband’s two sons. I saw her a few days ago. She looks good.”

Son?

Did she look good?

Qiao An compared these words to the Lu family.

Was there a connection?

Qiao An suddenly blurted out, “I want to visit her.”

Huo Zhou’s mother was shocked. “Why are you going to see her?”

Qiao An said, “Pure curiosity.”

Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran knew the cause of Aunt Lu’s death, so they guessed that Qiao An wanted to investigate Uncle Lu’s motive for killing Mrs. Lu. Huo Zhou covered for Qiao An. “I want to take a look too.”

Huo Zhou’s mother said, “I really don’t understand the minds of young people like you. You’re filled with curiosity about everything.”

Qiao An felt like she was eating wax during the meal.

She ate quickly. In order to accompany her, Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran quickly finished eating.

Huo Zhou’s mother shook her head helplessly. “If you want to watch the commotion, I don’t care about you. But Zhou Zhou, you have to bring Sisi along. Sisi is your wife now. You can’t bully her.”

Huo Zhou asked perfunctorily, “Are you going?”

Sisi nodded happily.

Then, after Huo Xiaoran sent the three children home, he returned to Huo Zhou’s house. Huo Zhou drove a seven-seater luxury car from the garage and drove them to Uncle Lu’s first girlfriend’s house.

On the way, Sisi sensed something unusual. She humbly asked Qiao An, “Sister An, do you suspect that Auntie Lu’s death is related to Uncle Lu’s first girlfriend?”

Huo Zhou was stunned. “Why are your women’s brains so similar? Sisi, you and Qiao An are thinking the same thing. But I don’t think so. I always believe that Uncle Lu did it on the spur of the moment and killed someone on impulse. He didn’t have a family outside his family and quite likely killed his wife on impulse.”

Qiao An smiled. “It’s not that we women think the same way. It’s just that Sisi and I hit it off. Many of our views are surprisingly consistent. Besides, she’s my junior.”

Huo Zhou smiled.

When the car arrived at the Water Moon Building, Huo Zhou was in a difficult position. “Without a key card, our car might not be able to enter. Moreover, this building is so big. How can we find her?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “As long as you’re willing to use your brain, there will be a way.”

Sisi said, “I have a way.”

Sisi opened the door and got out of the car. She came to the security booth and pretended to be anxious as she complained to the security guard. “Brother, my aunt lives in this neighborhood. Her name is Chen Yufeng. She hasn’t been in good health recently. My mother asked me to send her medicine. But I lost the address my mother wrote for me. Can you help me find it?”

The security guard saw that she had gotten out of the luxury car and seemed to have an emergency at hand, so he helped her without hesitating.

“Chen Yufeng?” Soon, he found her building number on the computer. “Building 802.”

Sisi thanked the security guard repeatedly and returned to the car.
