Xi Chenxiao frowned. He did not expect the first lady to be involved in this, which made the whole thing more complicated. However, Su Jin’s family should not have anything to do with the first lady as he previously found out.

Xi Chenxiao looked at Su Jin and asked with a cold expression, “Girl, is there any conflict between your mother and the first lady?”

Su Jin shook her head. How was this possible? She would never forget what her uncle told her when she last visited him. He had told her that they were all classmates, and the two girls were best friends. That was why she had erected a tombstone for her mother.

Su Jin looked at Xi Chenxiao and said, “How is that possible? My uncle said that my mother and the first lady are best friends!”

Xi Chenxiao was even more confused when he heard this. If they were best friends, why would something like this happen? It was impossible for a best friend to send someone to kill her best friend, let alone erecting a tombstone for her after she was killed. This didn’t make sense.

Xi Chenxiao looked at Su Jin in disbelief and asked, “Are you sure they are best friends?”

Xi Tian stood at the back and found it hard to understand. Logically speaking, shouldn’t best friends help each other? There must be some other motive or a bigger conspiracy to make the first lady do such a thing.

Xi Tian asked with a troubled expression, “Madam, are you sure they are best friends? Why would your mother’s best friend send someone to kill her?”

When Su Jin heard this, she knew that things weren’t as simple as they looked. However, not only did she not know about this, even her uncle probably did not know about it. According to her uncle, the relationship between her mother and the first lady shouldn’t have led to this!

Su Jin shook her head solemnly and replied, “I don’t know either!”

Xi Chenxiao knew that this matter could be very complicated, or it could be very simple. If he could investigate it thoroughly, he would find out. But this must be handled discreetly so as not to be found out the first lady. Otherwise, it was very likely that they would not find out the truth about what happened back then, and there might be more accidents.

Xi Chenxiao ordered coldly, “Xi Tian, get someone to the school that Madam’s mother and the first lady attended and find out what happened between the two of them.”

Xi Tian nodded quickly. He knew that he could only start from there. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to find out what happened. Xi Tian expected that he would face obstacles if he went down this path but since the chairman had given the order, he had to do it. Xi Tian turned and left to investigate the matter.

The next day, she looked at Zhang De the moment she entered the classroom. She had been so busy lately and hadn’t paid attention to Zhang De. When Pang Lili saw Su Jin, she immediately took out some snacks and walked towards Su Jin.

Pang Lili placed all the snacks on Su Jin’s desk as she said happily, “Sister Su, are you here to find me?”

Su Jin shook her head. Some things had to be understood today or she wouldn’t be able to sleep well at night. Moreover, Zhang De should know about this matter. She had to ask him. Perhaps he had some information that could lead Su Jin to her mother.

Su Jin pointed at Zhang De and replied, “I’m looking for him!”

When Zhang De heard this, he looked at Su Jin and lowered his head with a troubled expression. His eyes were misty. Ever since Zhang De found out about his relationship with Su Jin, he felt very guilty whenever he saw her.

After calming himself down, Zhang De raised his head and said to Su Jin with a smile, “Sister Su, are you here to ask me for the money for the bet?”

Su Jin originally wanted to ask Zhang De about her mother, but since he brought up the bet, she naturally had to collect her winnings. More importantly, Su Jin didn’t expect Zhang De to address her as “sister” so easily. It seemed that he had given in, so things would be less problematic in future.

Su Jin replied plainly, “Very well. You’re quite self-aware. Since you’ve already said it, then pay me the money. From now on, we are even. This is good for everyone, right?”
