Mr Gu’s First Doting Marriage

Chapter 510: Chapter 511: There’s Something Fishy about Mother’s Past

Xia Yangyang went to work as usual every day.

She had been extremely busy recently.

The company had set up a news agency called NEWS in her home country and wanted her to take up the post of head.

Xia Yangyang had refused for several months.

But today, the boss had spoken with her for half a day.

For the time being, Xia Yangyang did not want to go back to her home country.

One reason was Xia Ye’s health condition that required regular treatment.

Secondly, it was not the right time yet.

She knew one day she would return to that place.

There were some unfinished matters and duties that she needed to complete.

All these years, the reason why Xia Yangyang worked at America’s biggest news corporation was part private motivations.

For four years, she had never stopped investigating the charity fraud case involving her mother.

Thinking about it now, many things back then were yet to be revealed.

Xia Yangyang began to re-investigate because during her time at the news agency, she inadvertently ran into Zhao Xin.

Twenty years ago, Zhao Xin had been an actor in the entertainment industry, but she was not famous and didn’t had any well-known works. She later married a wealthy American and has been living in the United States ever since.

Xia Yangyang only heard about Zhao Xin when she was filming “Future” from Director Zhang Jizhong.

She didn’t care much about it at the time.

But Xia Yangyang did remember that Zhao Xin was a graduate from the August 1 Film Studio and was in the same batch as her mother.

Xia Yangyang got in touch with Zhao Xin unknowingly during an interview, who is now a bigwig behind the scenes in the industry.

She asked her about some old affairs.

Zhao Xin used to share a dormitory with her mother and Gu Mingzhu.

They were on very good terms with her mother.

Even though Zhao Xin moved to America later on, it did not affect their friendship.

Therefore, she had a substantial understanding of the relationship between her and Gu Mingzhu.

She had also heard a fair bit about their falling out and the subsequent charity fraud scandal.

Zhao Xin said that her mother once drunkly confided in her about the charity fraud case. Tan Zhen had said that she had no choice as it was Xia Liangdong’s mistake. She had to bear it for him as she owed him.

At the time, Zhao Xin didn’t understand what Tan Zhen meant.

But she did mention Xia Liangdong a lot, occasionally mentioning the name Liu Ruyan.

However, she never said anything related to Gu Mingzhu.

Zhao Xin was simply stating the facts.

According to what she said, so many years had passed since the incident, so her memory was not very clear.

But all that information had raised doubts in Xia Yangyang’s heart.

Why did her mother always say that she was taking blame for her father?

What was the connection with her father if her mother had known that it was a trap set up by Gu Mingzhu?

Liu Ruyan had insisted that she had nothing to do with the whole matter, claiming that she did not fully understand the situation.

But why would her mother mention Liu Ruyan’s name when she was drunk?

Xia Yangyang felt that there was still something hidden in all this.

Besides, there was also the corruption case involved at the time.

Xia Yangyang was determined to thoroughly investigate this matter.

Her only desire right now was to expose the truth to the world and clear her mother’s name.

Meanwhile, Xia Yangyang had been able to find some leads.

It was alleged that her mother had bribed government officials with more than five million dollars.

The scandal was exposed later on, which led to the downfall and imprisonment of the two officials.

As it involved various major corruption cases.

The two individuals were sentenced to eighteen years of imprisonment.

One of them committed suicide before being jailed.

The other one has been in prison for fifteen years.

Now he was kept in Qinshan Jail, the highest security prison in Beijing.

However, according to the information obtained by hacking the system, he had behaved well in jail, his sentence was reduced by three years and he had just been released.
