After the two of them finished their meal, Quanye came to look for Chu Xiujin.
"Sir, we have already found the mastermind behind the clues."
After Quanye finished speaking, he glanced at Meng Yu. Meng Yu guessed that the behind-the-scenes mastermind in Quanye's mouth should be the one who was going to attack Chu Xiujin that day in France. It took so long to find out. It seems that this behind-the-scenes mastermind is not simple .
Meng Yu was very curious, and she hurriedly said, "Let's talk, I'll go upstairs first."
She was about to leave, but Chu Xiujin said, "You don't have to avoid it right here." Then she instructed Quanye, "Tell me."
Quanye said, "It's Xia Peng."
Xia Peng? Meng Yu frowned upon hearing the name. Xia Peng was Xia Han's uncle and Chu Xiujin's eldest brother. Meng Yu also went to Xia's house to play when she was a child. Naturally, she also knew the uncle Xia Han. In her impression, Uncle Xia always looked warm and warm. Every time she went to him, he smiled.
Uncle Xia's family also has a son named Xia Jing, who is Xia Han's cousin, but Xia Han doesn't have a good relationship with this cousin. In high school, she and Xia Han did not share the same school, but she often went to Xia Han. After Xia Jing found out, every time she went to Xia Han, he would ask her to help bring something to Xia Han. Of course, he would also prepare more every time. The portion was left to her, so Meng Yu ate a lot of Xia Jing's snacks.
In general, her impression of Uncle Xia's family is not bad.
She never thought that Uncle Xia was the mastermind behind the incident.
Chu Xiujin didn't say anything after listening, and only told the assistant to go to other things first.
"You're tired too, go back to your room to rest first." Chu Xiujin said to her.
He knew that the person who wanted to attack him was his eldest brother, but his expression was calm, as if he had expected all this.
"Are you okay?" Meng Yu asked.
"It's okay, you go to rest first."
Meng Yu went back to the room, and after a while, Chu Xiujin also went out. Meng Yu went downstairs and asked the helper. The helper said that he seemed to be leaving because of something in the company, but Meng Yu felt that Xia Peng had something to do with him going out.
Sure enough, Meng Yu got the news that Xia Peng was arrested the next day.
Xia Peng was arrested on suspicion of money laundering, and the number of cases involved is huge. If the investigation is true, he will not be able to escape from prison for a few years.
Chu Xiujin was not a person who repaid his grievances with virtue. He knew that someone wanted to harm him, but he did nothing. If he did not offend me, I would not offend him.
On the second day after Xia Peng was arrested, Xia Jing and Xia Han came to the door.
It happened that Meng Yu and Chu Xiujin were also at home that day. Meng Yu heard that the two were coming, and probably guessed that they might be here for Xia Peng's business. Meng Yu went downstairs and saw Xia Jing and Xia Han sitting in the living room.
Meng Yu went downstairs to greet them first, Chu Xiujin came down one step behind, Xia Jing saw him, he looked a little excited, suddenly stood up from the sofa, and asked directly, "Chu Xiujin, my father Did you find someone to frame it?"
Chu Xiujin sat down on the sofa opposite the two of them, her legs crossed, her posture languid, "That's how you talk to your uncle?"
Xia Jing sneered, "Uncle, what kind of uncle are you? It's just an illegitimate child!"
Perhaps because of the role of Old Man Xia, Xia Jing's family and Chu Xiujin still maintained the surface peace, but now Mr. Xia's health is not as good as the day, and now he can only live by drip in the hospital every day, he has no energy to go. Manage so much. And the conflict between Xia Jing's family and Chu Xiujin will eventually be exposed, and the disguise of harmony will eventually be torn off.
Xia Jing's voice fell, and Xia Han also asked, "Did you really do what happened to my uncle?"
Chu Xiujin, "What if I did it? Shouldn't he be punished for his mistakes?"
Xia Han was angry when he looked at his indifferent expression, "You have already got North Vietnam, is it necessary to kill them all?"
Although Xia Han didn't like the uncle's family, he was her family after all. No matter how much he didn't like it, he would still have his bones attached to his tendons. The so-called dead lips were cold. He stretched out his hand to the Xia family's big room today. here.
"Why did I do this, you should ask him first." Chu Xiujin gestured Xia Jing's direction with his eyes.
"What do you mean?" Xia Han asked Xia Jing.
Xia Jing said, "Don't believe his plan to provoke us." Xia Jing said to Meng Yu, "Meng Yu, come here, Xia Han and I will help you to divorce him. You'd better stay away from this kind of bad guy."
Meng Yu subconsciously glanced at Chu Xiujin, who happened to be looking at her, his eyes were calm, but Meng Yu knew that he was also curious about what choice she would make.
On one side is his best friend, and on the other side is a husband who has just married.
"He's not a badass."
This was what Meng Yu said to Xia Jing, in a very firm statement.
This made several people stunned.
Meng Yu said again, "Mr. Chu and I were attacked when we were in France. The man had a gun in his hand, and he wanted to kill Mr. Chu. Uncle Xia arranged for him, right?"
Xia Han reacted, and she turned to look at Xia Jing, "You sent someone to kill him?"
Xia Jing knew that he couldn't hide this matter, and he didn't plan to hide it any more. He said, "He should have died, Meng Yu, don't be fooled by his temporary illusion, he is not a good person at all. Everyone says he is The great hero of North Vietnam's acquisition of Wopai, do you know how he acquired Wopai in the first place? The ingenious enterprise like Wopai has always taken the high-end route. He doesn't know what rhetoric he used to convince Volpai to reduce the distribution and price of Volpai's cars. There was an accident, and Wopai's stock price plummeted because of it. He then bought Wopai's shares from the secondary market little by little. Finally, Wopai was forced to agree to the acquisition. Even when he got the power of Peking University, it was because he used it. The means to make the people around my father betray, this kind of person will do anything for the benefit, if he doesn't die, I don't know what he will do to destroy his conscience."
Xia Jing speaks righteous words, as if he is really the kind of righteous person who eradicates evil.
Although Meng Yu really likes Xia Jing's brother, she also knows that what he and the uncle Xia did were not so righteous, and the most fundamental thing was for their own interests.
"Don't let Meng Yu be deceived by him. You don't have to speak for someone like him. Come over to Brother Xia Jing."
Meng Yu didn't think much about it, she shook her head firmly at Xia Jing, "He didn't lie to me, I stand here voluntarily. You said he was a bad person, and how skillful and scheming he was, but he never did On the contrary, when I was wronged, he was always by my side to protect me, I don't believe what other people say, I only believe what I see."
Chu Xiujin was sitting on the sofa at this moment. He didn't take Xia Jing's words to heart. He was like a bystander, listening to Xia Jing's righteous words in his spare time.
But to his surprise, this thin little girl would stand up to defend him.
She has known Xia Jing and Xia Han longer than him, and she naturally has more trust in them than in him, but she stands firm in front of him.
He's not a badass, she said.
"I only believe what I see," she said.
He was lazy, leaning his elbows on the back of the sofa, fingers subconsciously touching his chin, and squinting at the thin girl who stood upright in front of him.
I really didn't expect that Chu Xiujin would still be protected by others one day.
It's really interesting!
Xia Jing was also very surprised at Meng Yu's attitude, "Are you crazy, Meng Yu? What kind of heartbreak did he put on you? You help him talk like this?"
Meng Yu said, "Brother Xia Jing, don't speak so righteously. It seems that killing him is for the sake of justice. To put it bluntly, it is just for profit."
Xia Jing "… "
Xia Jing was blocked by her for a while, but he admitted frankly, "I admit that part of the reason for wanting him to die is profit. My father and I worked hard for North Vietnam, and my grandfather never let go of power, and we have no complaints. But this man It just appeared so suddenly, what you thought would belong to you was intercepted by him halfway, but are you willing to change it? He is just an illegitimate child, my father and second uncle are the serious children of the Xia family, he The appearance of this is inherently unfair to my family and the second uncle's family, why should the things we work hard to manage be cheaper than this illegitimate child!?"
Meng Yu didn't flinch, she said, "What about an illegitimate child? He can't choose his own birth, not to mention that when her mother was with Mr. Xia, Mrs. Xia had been dead for many years. His mother didn't do anything. Destroying other people's families and corrupting morals, why can't two people be together if they are unmarried and unmarried? Two people are seriously in love, some Mr. Chu, how could his birth be so unbearable? Just because Mr. Xia and his mother didn't marry him Damn it? Isn't he worthy of competition? He is also a child of the Xia family!"
"A serious relationship?" Xia Jing sneered, "Looking for a man about the same age as his father to fall in love? If it's really for love, I don't believe it, his mother is not a good person like him."
The two of you just kept arguing with each other. Chu Xiujin could actually let someone throw Xia Jing out, but he thought it was interesting that Meng Yu was protecting him, so he was like a man of all this. All of them had nothing to do with him, looking at the two of them leisurely like a bystander.
Xia Han was in a daze, and at this time she finally couldn't help interrupting Xia Jing, "Okay!" She looked at Xia Jing, "That is to say, did you really send someone to kill him?"
Xia Jing said, "He should have died."
Xia Han originally thought that Chu Xiujin suddenly attacked Xia Peng, so she came along when Xia Jing came to find her. She didn't expect that it was Xia Peng who made the first move, and that he did it so absolutely that it directly cost people's lives.
"Anyway, he has the same blood as we do in his body, and he has to be put to death for profit?"
"What's the matter with you, Xia Han? Are you still sympathetic to him now?"
Xia Han looked at him fixedly, "So... when my father had a car accident, was it related to my uncle?"
Xia Jing looked at her like a ghost, "Xia Han, are you crazy? Second uncle and my father are brothers, how could he hurt him?"
"Aren't the uncle and uncle also brothers?"
"..." Xia Jing said angrily, "how can it be the same?"
Xia Han didn't want to talk to him anymore, she said to Chu Xiujin and Meng Yu, "I'm sorry, but I didn't understand the matter." She turned around and left.
Xia Jing was completely stunned. He didn't expect Xia Han to defect.
Xia Jing was a little embarrassed, but he still maintained his righteous look and said to Chu Xiujin, "Is it my turn to put my father in jail?"
Chu Xiujin said, "Yes, I'm finally smart."
"..." The corner of Xia Jing's mouth twitched, and he gave Meng Yu a meaningful look, "Is it time for Xia Han after I pass?"
"Xia Han didn't provoke me, why should I deal with her?"
Xia Jing snorted coldly, and said to Meng Yu, "Be smart, don't be deceived by him."
He dropped the words and turned away.
The room became quiet, and there were only Chu Xiujin and Meng Yu left in the room. Chu Xiujin looked at her from behind, and when he saw her, he lowered his head and rubbed his eyes.
This is... crying
He stood up and called her.
"Meng Yu."
Meng Yu turned his head to look over, and he saw her eyes were red, and there were obvious tears on her face.
Are you really crying
"Why are you crying?" he asked.
Meng Yu said, "I cry easily when I get emotional."
"… "
Chu Xiujin took two tissues and handed them to her, she took them, "Thank you."
She wiped away the tears, but her eyes were still red. His fingers on both sides of his body moved slightly, but after all, nothing was done.
He thought of the appearance of the little girl just now, she was like a calf guarding hen standing in front of him to protect him.
He wants to do something.
"I have no experience with coaxing girls, but you can teach me how to do it."
"… "
Does he mean that he wants to coax her
Meng Yu said, "No need... It's nothing, I'll just calm down."
However, he asked again, "How did Xiao Qi do at times like this before?"
Xiao Qi
"Xiao Qi can't do anything. Xiao Qi doesn't like my waywardness, and he won't coax me. So I really don't need it, I'll get better in time."
"I'm not Xiao Qi, you can be willful to me. I want to do something, tell me what I should do."
"… "
Meng Yu met his eyes, his eyes were sincere and his tone was serious.
He said, you can be willful to me.
Meng Yu lowered her head. Maybe she has been with Xiao Qi for too long. She is used to digesting her emotions when she has emotions, because waiting for the other party to coax is useless.
But now he said he was going to coax her
This feels really strange. Although he is her husband, they have always respected each other like guests. They are not even lovers, but friends at most. What qualifications does she have to be coaxed by him
But if he wants to coax her, shouldn't he give him a chance? Doesn't she want to get closer to him too
Meng Yu said after a brief contemplation, "Maybe it would be better to hug at this time."
As soon as she said it, she regretted it a little. Was hugging or something too intimate for them? Although the two of them seemed to hug each other in her apartment last time, it was just an accident...
Meng Yu didn't dare to look at him after he finished speaking.
However, a hand suddenly reached out, he grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her towards him, and the next moment the other hand came across her back upstairs.
He took her into his arms and asked her, "So?"
