The vicious female supporting role becomes the female lead

After some searching, Chu Qiao discovered that this man and Liu Qingyun did graduate from the same university, and there were photos of them participating in club activities together during their school days.

This discovery made Chu Qiao certain that there must be an unusual relationship between this man and Liu Qingyun.

Chu Qiao decided to contact the man again and dialed the number he had left her.

After the call was connected, Chu Qiao spoke straight to the point without any hesitation, "Hello! I'm Chu Qiaoqiao. You should remember me, right? I'm the girl we bumped into a few days ago. I heard something from Liu Qingyun. It turns out that you two are not only colleagues at work, but also good friends from college, right?"

A slightly surprised man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Huh? How do you know all this? Yes, we are indeed college classmates. But what does this have to do with Liu Qingyun?"

Facing the man's doubts, Chu Qiao remained calm, because she knew very well that at this moment she must obtain more solid and powerful evidence to confirm the speculations deep in her heart.

So, she responded methodically, "A while ago, I stumbled across some old photos of you two participating in club activities together in school, and it piqued my interest in your connection. Also, I remember you mentioned before that some difficult issues can only be resolved by talking to Liu Qingyun face to face. So, I was wondering, could this be related to some past events from your school days?"

The man lowered his head slightly, staring at the ground, silence hanging over him like a heavy dark cloud.

Time seemed to stand still. After a long time, he slowly raised his head, took a deep breath, and then let out a long sigh.

"Yes, we once spent some time together in school. Looking back on those days now, it seems like a lifetime ago. However, it is already in the distant past, so long ago that I almost thought it had been buried by time and disappeared forever in the depths of memory." The man's voice was low and slightly hoarse, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the most secret corner of his heart, filled with unspeakable helplessness and sorrow.

Chu Qiao stood quietly beside the phone, and she keenly caught the subtle change in the man's tone.

It was a deep feeling of powerlessness, as if he was trying to break free from some invisible restraints but was always unable to do so.

"I understand that this may be difficult for you to talk about. After all, everyone has memories that they don't want to touch easily. But please believe that my original intention is absolutely not malicious. I am just eager to find Liu Qingyun, and knowing your experiences in school may be the key clue to solving this mystery. Therefore, I implore you to tell me more about the situation at that time, even if it is only a little bit. Maybe this little bit of information can bring me unexpected help." Chu Qiao's eyes were sincere and earnest. She stared at the phone tightly, hoping that her words could touch his heartstrings.

The man hesitated, then began to tell their story: "Liu Qingyun and I were lovers when we were in school. We were very close, but later broke up for some reasons. I always thought she was still here until I heard recently that she might have returned to China."

Chu Qiao listened carefully, knowing that this information was crucial to her investigation.

"You mentioned that you broke up for some reason. Can you tell me why specifically? Is it related to her pregnancy?"

The man's voice became a little hoarse: "Yes, she was pregnant at the time, but we were both very young and didn't know how to deal with the situation. Our relationship became strained because of the child, and eventually led to our breakup."

Chu Qiao was shocked; her suspicions were confirmed. "So, what about this child? Do you know anything about the child?"

The man was silent for a long time, then he said slowly: "I don't know. Liu Qingyun said she would take care of it, and then she left. Since then, I haven't heard from her again until recently."

Chu Qiao took a deep breath. She knew that this information was a major breakthrough in her investigation.

"Thank you for your honesty. It's very helpful to me. I will respect your privacy, but I will continue to look for you. I hope to find Liu Qingyun and uncover the truth."

There was a hint of pleading in the man's voice: "If you find her, please tell her I want to talk to her. There are some things I want to resolve in person."

Chu Qiao agreed to the man's request and ended the call. She knew that she was one step closer to uncovering Liu Qingyun's secret, but she also realized that this secret might be much more complicated than she had imagined.

She decided to continue to investigate in depth, and no matter how difficult the truth was, she had the courage to face it.

After careful consideration, Chu Qiao decided to take a more direct approach to move things forward.

She thought that if she told the man that she had found Liu Qingyun and that Liu Qingyun had given birth to a child for him, it might prompt him to take action.

So two days later, she called the man and prepared to tell him the news.

After the call was connected, Chu Qiao's voice was full of determination: "Hello, I'm Chu Qiaoqiao. I have important news to tell you."

The man's voice sounded a little nervous: "Chu Qiaoqiao? Have you found Liu Qingyun?"

"Yes, I found her." Chu Qiao paused, then continued, "Also, I found some information that might be of interest to you."

The man asked anxiously, "What is it? Do you know where she is?"

Chu Qiao took a deep breath and then slowly said, "Not only did I find Liu Qingyun, I also discovered that she didn't get rid of the child back then. In fact, she gave birth to the child, and the child is now grown."

The man on the other end of the phone was silent, and Chu Qiao could sense his shock.

After a while, his voice trembled: "You mean... we have a child?"

"Yes, it seems so." Chu Qiao replied, her voice calm and firm.

The man's voice was filled with mixed emotions: "I...I need time to digest this news. This is too sudden."

Chu Qiao understood his feelings, but she also knew that time was running out. "I know this is hard for you, but I want to know, what are you going to do? Do you want to see them?"

The man was silent for a long time, obviously thinking. "Yes, I want to see them. I need to see Liu Qingyun and my child."

Chu Qiao nodded, even though he couldn't see. "I understand. I'll help you arrange it. But before that, I need you to tell me when you plan to return home."

The man quickly replied, "I'll arrange it as soon as possible. Please tell me where they are? I need to know their exact location."

Chu Qiao replied cautiously, "Before I tell you their location, I need to ensure Liu Qingyun and the child's safety. They have the right to know what is about to happen, and they need time to prepare."

There was a hint of anxiety in the man's voice. "I understand, but please be quick. I need to see them."

Chu Qiao agreed and told him that she would keep in touch and inform him once the arrangements were made.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Qiao knew that she was about to uncover a secret that could change everyone's fate.

She took a deep breath and prepared to face the coming storm.

She knew that this news was a huge shock to both the man and Liu Qingyun, but she also believed that the truth was sometimes the only medicine that could heal past traumas.

She is ready and will face it bravely no matter what the outcome is.

Chu Qiao's investigation in a foreign country has made substantial progress. She thinks it is time to return home and wait for the man to come back so that she can further advance the situation.

Before returning home, she decided to communicate with the man again and tell him his plans.
