After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 1722 What Happened Back Then

Previously, Liang Shu had said that this brooch belonged to her cousin. Now that she said it was actually Gao Tao's item, was there any connection between this cousin and Gao Tao?

Qiao Mei stared at the photo for a long time before saying, "Why isn't your cousin in this photo? Are there any other photos of Gao Tao? Does your cousin know Gao Tao?"

Liang Shu turned her head away and remained silent. The matter back then was really too complicated. It had not been easy for her to save her own life. It would only lead to a disaster if she brought up the past.

Qiao Mei repeated resignedly, "I've already said that if I don't get the answer I want, I won't give you anything. I can also guarantee that you won't be able to get a single drop of medicine from anyone else. I mean what I say. Even if I don't have the ability to do this, I think the Xia family does."

This was the first time Qiao Mei had made use of the Xia family's name to bully someone. She had no choice. Today, she must find out what had happened to Gao Tao back then.

Liang Shu still looked like she would rather die than submit. Liang Lan was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof at the side. If Qiao Mei did not give them the "divine medicine", then she would have to continue to take care of Liang Shu. It would be a life of suffering for her! Xiao Jing was already very unhappy with the fact that she had been demoted at work. If he knew that she would have to go back and wait upon her mother in the future, she did not know what would happen!

"You still want to keep mum? I think you know your own illness best. Without my medicine, your recovery will be very slow and you might not even be able to make a full recovery. However, after drinking these two bottles of medicine, you will definitely make a complete recovery," Qiao Mei said seriously as she looked at Liang Shu.

Liang Lan hurriedly ran in front of Qiao Mei and said, "I'll talk! I'll talk! I only know one thing. I know where my eldest aunt lives! You can go and look for her! Or you can go to her hometown! Whatever you want!"

"Shut up!" Liang Shu roared angrily. Her voice was hoarse, like the cry of a crow in the night.

"Mother! If you don't say it now, then when! You're so sick that you can't get out of bed. Don't tell me you still want to protect Eldest Aunt and the others? Even if you protect them now! They won't be grateful to you!" Liang Lan said agitatedly.

Although Liang Lan did not know what was going on, based on Qiao Mei's persistent questioning and Liang Shu's evasive expression, she could roughly guess that this was a very serious matter. Even Liang Shu was afraid of the people involved.

"I don't have that much time to waste. Since you don't want to tell me, I won't force you." Qiao Mei picked up the box and was about to leave again when Liang Shu stopped her. "I'll tell you! I'll tell you whatever you want to know!"

Qiao Mei held the box and returned to her original position. She looked at Liang Shu quietly and Liang Shu sighed. She had no choice but to tell Qiao Mei everything that had happened back then.

Back then, Gao Tao and her fiancé, Zhou Hua, came to the capital together. In that era, only people from rich families were able to go to school. Zhou Hua was quite famous in Guang City, but his family was definitely not comparable to the Gao family, which was the richest family in Guang City.

The Zhou family's elders had saved the lives of the Gao family's elders in the past. At that time, the two families had made an agreement that in the future, the Gao family would fulfill one wish of the Zhou family at any time.

After a few years, the Zhou family ran out of funds. If they could not get their hands on more money, they would go bankrupt. At that time, Zhou Hua's father came to the Gao family and proposed a marriage alliance between the two families.

Due to the agreement made by the family elders, Gao Tao's father had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, Gao Tao did not dislike Zhou Hua and even fell in love with him little by little during their daily interactions.

The Zhou family and the Gao family also began to have business dealings from this point on, and the Zhou family gradually prospered. As the only son of the Zhou family, Zhou Hua bore the heavy responsibility of taking care of the family. However, he did not want to be under constant supervision of the Zhou family members. He had always wanted to leave this place.

Zhou Hua felt that the schools in Guang City were not as outstanding as those in the capital, so he discussed with Gao Tao about going to school in the capital. Gao Tao went home and told her father about the situation. Since she was the only daughter of the Gao family, she always got her way. Hence, the couple set off soon to study in the capital. The Gao family even bought a villa in the capital for the two of them so that life was easier for them.

Zhou Hua went to the Capital Men's College and Gao Tao naturally went to the Capital Women's College. This was how Gao Tao got to know Liang Shu's cousin, Liang Juan.
