She didn’t answer Liang Ziyuan’s question, instead, she asked, "Ziyuan, why are you at Jiuchen’s house?"
Liang Ziyuan quickly lowered his eyes to glance at the whiskey bottle in her hand, then looked up at her forced smile, "I came over for something."
"Oh, then join us for a drink." Saying that, she raised the whiskey in her hand and waved it in front of Liang Ziyuan.
"No, I’m about to leave."
Qin Muni nodded, not insisting, as she lowered her head and struggled to open the whiskey bottle cap, she said, "There’s something I want to trouble you with."
Liang Ziyuan slightly raised his eyebrow, intuition told him Qin Muni was acting very unusual today, "What is it?"
After struggling for a while, she finally opened the cap, Qin Muni gripped the cap tightly in one hand, slightly raising her head, and gulped down several mouthfuls of whiskey from the bottle.
"My heavens! Sis, what’s wrong with you?"
Originally standing behind Qin Muni, Liang Jiuchen couldn’t help but step forward to stop her seeing her drink whiskey so freely, but was stopped by a look from Qin Muni.
She casually wiped the whiskey that had slipped to the edge of her lips due to hurried drinking with the back of her hand, only then did she lift her eyelids, her expression confused, and looked at Liang Ziyuan, her voice hoarse as she spoke, "Help me investigate someone."
"Who do you want to investigate?"
Hearing Qin Muni’s emotionless mention of a name, Liang Jiuchen couldn’t help but curiously ask, "Sis, who is Zhao Yaru?"
Qin Muni looked at him with cold eyes, honestly answered, "The woman who gave birth to me."
This was the first time that Liang Jiuchen and Liang Ziyuan, having known Qin Muni for so long, heard her mention her mother, so both of them were very unfamiliar with her mother’s name.
Liang Jiuchen was shocked and approached Qin Muni, incredulously asking, "Your mother?"
"Ha." Qin Muni let out a cold laugh, "A woman like her doesn’t deserve to be my mother!"
In her calm voice was an undeniable sense of oppression, clearly expressing great disgust at the fact that Zhao Yaru was her mother.
Compared to Liang Jiuchen’s shock, Liang Ziyuan reacted first, asking puzzlingly, "Why do you suddenly want to investigate her?"
"Oh, a woman I haven’t seen in over a decade suddenly came to find me, saying she wants me to help her stepson."
The grievance in her heart was overwhelming, despite her efforts to hide it, her sadness was easily uncovered.
As she finished speaking, she raised her head again and continued chugging the strong and pungent whiskey.
The Qin Muni in Liang Ziyuan’s memory was bold in both love and hate, not delicate, not pretentious, she was an exceptional woman, even after her divorce from Xu Yisen, she could skillfully mask herself, not revealing any disgrace in front of people.
This Qin Muni, out of control, feeding herself whiskey, not only frightened Liang Jiuchen but also shocked him.
"Stop drinking." He frowned and snatched away the whiskey that was more than half-drunk from Qin Muni’s hand.
The bottle of whiskey was taken from her hand, and Qin Muni staggered, collapsing powerlessly on the ground, covering her face with both hands, the tears she had been holding back poured out uncontrollably like water from an open faucet.
She cried softly, "How could she do this to me! How could she come back for me after abandoning me for more than ten years just because her stepson is in trouble! I am her biological daughter!"
Gradually, the soft sobbing evolved into heart-wrenching cries.
Liang Ziyuan quickly signaled to Liang Jiuchen to contact Xu Yisen.
Liang Jiuchen nodded, quickly left the dining room to get his phone from the room.
