Chapter 1138: She’s Carrying Lu Nanze’s Child (14)
Qiao Lian halted and spun around . She saw a middle-aged woman staring at her with an uncertain expression .
When Qiao Lian turned around, the middle-aged woman’s eyes lit up immediately and she hurried over . She took Qiao Lian’s arm with one hand as she said, “It’s really you, Qiao Lian! You’re back? Where have you been all these years?”
After saying this, she turned to the middle-aged man behind her and waved to him, yelling, “Qiao Zhigang, come over here quickly and look . It’s your niece Qiao Lian!”
The middle-aged man was stunned and looked at her with an expression of disbelief . There was a simple honesty in his refined look and he shared similar features with Qiao Yi . It was her uncle and Qiao Yiyi’s father, Qiao Zhigang .
Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank back as the man hurried over to them . He held her arm as he exclaimed, “Xiao Lian! It’s really you! Xiao Lian! Where have you been all these years?! Did you know how hard I looked for you? If anything had happened to you, how would I ever face your father?”
He looked at her up and down anxiously after saying this and continued, “You’ve grown taller and thinner . Where were you all these years? Have you been well? What about Qiao Yi? How is he? Did his legs recover?”
Hearing this barrage of questions, Qiao Lian’s eyes reddened as she stood on the spot .
Apart from Qiao Yi, he was probably the closest relative she had in this world .
He was also the man that she and Qiao Yi had depended on the most after her parents had died .
But what she had never expected was that he would scheme to get her into Lu Nanze’s bed, in order to curry favor with that man .
At the time, she had only just turned eighteen .
But her pride did not allow her to be given away like a gift .
Besides, she needed a large sum of money to treat Qiao Yi’s legs .
Every time she went to Qiao Zhigang for money, he would make it look like it put his family in a difficult position .
But she knew that, although her uncle had not inherited the family estate, her father had given him a lot of money every year .

When the Qiao family went broke, only her uncle’s family had been unaffected .
They had a small villa and a car .
Why couldn’t he have spared some money to have Qiao Yi treated?
Clearly, he had been giving excuses .
That was why she had left and taken Qiao Yi with her .
In any case, even if they had kept staying with their family, they wouldn’t help get Qiao Yi treated .
Looking now at this heartless couple, how Qiao Lian wished she could give them a tight slap across their faces!

However, she couldn’t .
She was supposed to have lost her memory and she had to pretend that she didn’t recognize them .
But the anger that rose in her chest made it hard for her to breathe easily . She took another deep breath in an attempt to suppress her fury . With this effort, she managed to look puzzled as she spoke, “You are… ?”
“We are your uncle and aunt . ”
Qiao Zhigang grabbed her wrist and said excitedly, “Qiao Lian, we’ve found you finally after all these years! This child, you ran away without a word at the time . Sigh . ”
That tone, oh, that tone . It was as if she was an ignorant runaway child .
Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes and lowered her head, looking at Qiao Zhigang’s hand clenched around her wrist .

Following this, she looked at them and said, “I don’t remember you . Will you please let go of my hand?”
With an embarrassed expression, Qiao Zhigang let go of her .
