On the way to the airport, passing by the gate of M University, Xieyi looked out of the car window again.
"Want to go back and take a look?" he asked.
"No, I don't know anyone." She shook her head.
“I also graduated from this school,” he said.
"Really?" She turned her head in surprise and asked, then she remembered that she seemed to have heard Xiaolin say that he was a very good student and later received a full scholarship to study abroad at Heidelberg University.
On the flight back to City A, Xieyi started looking for topics again.
"It seems like we are really destined to be together. We've gone to many schools together. Maybe we've met somewhere before?" she muttered with a smile.
"Maybe." He turned his head and looked at the window on the other side.
"But people like you usually don't even look at me, right?"
"Hmm." He didn't pay attention to what she said and just said "hmm" as he was distracted.
"Hmm what?" Xie Yi's facial features wrinkled together, "You should say 'No, I, Li, think Miss Shen is so beautiful that she can make fishes sink to the bottom of their chests and geese fall to the ground, and she is so knowledgeable that I fell in love with her at first sight and I regret that we met too late'."
"We're about to take off, sit tight," he said, stopping smiling.
After the plane reached a high altitude and entered a stable period, he found a newspaper to read.
"I have a question." She unbuckled her seatbelt and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Um?"
"Why do you like me?"
"what why?"
"I'm so ordinary. Although I'm kind-hearted, I have a sense of justice, I have a beautiful soul, and I'm not bad looking..." She said "with inferiority complex", "But why did you fall in love with me?"
He put down the newspaper, thought for a moment and said, "Did I ever tell you that I like you?"
"… "
Well, no, she was a little frustrated.
After a while, Xieyi called softly again: "Ayan."
"What?"
"Do you love that person from before? The one who also called you A Yan?"
He didn't answer.
"Why do we have to separate?" she asked again.
I thought I would never get an answer from him, but unexpectedly he put down the newspaper, looked at the sea of clouds outside the window through his freehand face, and spoke after a long time.
"I did something stupid and hurt her."
"So... are you still in love?" This is the question that Xieyi cares about most.
"I don't love you anymore." He said lightly.
But whether it was him, her, or both of them, he never made it clear to her. Unfortunately, he did not continue the topic.
On this day, Yang Wangjie and Yin Xiaomei went to the supermarket to buy food, but they unexpectedly saw Xie Yi and Li Zeliang.
"This one seems to be more suitable for curly hair." Xieyi was holding two bottles of shampoo and slowly studying their differences.
"Then buy that one." Li Zeliang said.
"Actually, I also want to have a curly hair," she said.
“Later,” he said, placing another bottle of shampoo in the cart.
"Ayan, would it look better if I cut my hair short? Or dye it burgundy?"
He was pushing the cart in front and she chased after him and asked.
"That's it for now."
"Why? I want to change my hairstyle."
"I'm ugly, it doesn't matter how I change it," he said.
She was not angry at all. She followed him smugly and said slowly, "But I don't know why, even though I'm so ugly, there is still someone who likes me to death."
"I guess this person regrets it to death."
"… "
After walking a few steps, she asked again, "What do you think of my curling?"
"No cutting, no perming, no dyeing. Other than that, you can do whatever you want."
…
They were talking to each other all the way as they walked past, and did not notice Yang Wangjie and Yin Xiaomei on the opposite side. Although they were not holding hands, their intimate attitude was obvious.
Yang Wangjie had never seen Xie Yi act so coquettishly before, and he didn't expect that after not seeing her for so many days, she had already gotten together with Li Zeliang. He knew that the Li Group had recently made a big move and had invested in the development project of City B. He heard that they were recently cooperating with the Dongzheng Group in Lantian Bay and had already invested several hundred million yuan.
This was beyond many people's expectations. But if Li Zeliang hadn't unexpectedly bought the unfinished project of Yexing, how could Li's enterprise have become a big name in the real estate industry later? If there had been a slight mistake at that time, the Li's, which had just experienced the storm, might have been wiped out, but he succeeded. Now it seems that he has found the right opportunity again.
If she likes this kind of person, then he can only feel inferior to her.
"Uh, isn't that Miss Shen?" Yin Xiaomei said, and then saw Li Zeliang next to her, "It turns out that they are really together." She still remembered that they sat together at her brother's wedding banquet last time.
"Well, what else do you want to buy? If not, just leave. I guess your brother is waiting anxiously at home." Yang Wangjie replied.
"Li Zeliang and I are also alumni." Yin Xiaomei said as she remembered something while preparing something in the kitchen when she returned home.
"M University?"
"Yes, but he had already graduated when I entered the school, so I had only heard of him. We were alumni. He was very outstanding at that time and received a full scholarship to study abroad at Heidelberg University. Although he returned before graduating, he was definitely not like me who relied on my father's backdoor to get into M University."
"You little girls, as long as you see someone who is good-looking and has a good family background, you think that person is excellent."
Yin Xiaomei sniffed deliberately, "Why is there a sour smell in the kitchen? Wangjie, did you spill the vinegar or are you jealous?"
After giggling, she continued, "When he was studying at school, no one knew that he was the young master of the Li family in City B, so he didn't cause any sensation at school. It was only after he became successful and was invited to attend the school celebration that we heard about this kind of person in the school."
"His legs have always been like that? You guys don't mind?"
"His legs were fine in college, and he even loved playing basketball. But then, I don't know what happened. I think he had a car accident in Germany."
"Car accident?"
"What car accident?" Brother Yin Xiao interrupted and stuck his head in to ask.
"We said that Li Zeliang's leg was probably injured in a car accident in Germany."
"Germany? No way? Why did I hear it was in City B?" Yin Xiao said, "Because this incident caused a small sensation in the business community at the time."
"Sensational?" Yin asked with a smile.
"I've heard from others before that a gossip magazine revealed that the car accident was a premeditated murder. But you can't be sure. Nowadays, newspapers are always looking for trouble. Later, the rumors were spread in an outrageous way. It may have damaged the company's reputation, so the Li family stepped in to block the news."
"Ah?" When they heard Yin Xiao say this, both of them opened their mouths at the same time.
Before they had the chance to ask, Yin Xiao was called out by his wife.
"What murder?" Yin Xiaomei asked Yang Wangjie instead.
"I don't know." Yang Wangjie replied, "It's nothing more than a fight over inheritance and property. I guess all wealthy families can't escape this routine."
The two men looked at each other and took Yin Xiao back to the kitchen to continue interrogating him.
"What murder?"
"In the past, the Li Corporation and Hairun Group had been doing business together." Yin Xiao said, "The two companies were close, and they opened a shopping mall together and made a lot of money. But later, a serious poisoning incident occurred in the restaurant in City B."
"Did someone die?" Yin asked with a smile.
"It seems someone died. The incident was a big deal at the time. It was a devastating blow to the two listed companies. The stocks hit the daily limit. The government also intervened. At this time, Li's pushed Hairun out. Not only did they withdraw their investment, they also provided the government with a lot of information about the incident."
“Then why would Hairun let go so easily?” Yang Wangjie asked.
"Yeah, everyone finds it weird."
"Is there a problem within Hairun?" Yang Wangjie analyzed.
"Probably. If that were the case, the Li family would naturally not take the blame for Hairun, so the two families parted ways."
"You don't even help your friend in times of trouble." Yin Xiao said with a frown.
Yin Xiao chuckled, "Businessmen value profit over separation. At this moment, who cares about friends or not? Self-protection is the key. That time, the Li family was also seriously injured, and later simply switched to real estate."
"The people of Hairun must hate the Li family to death." Yin Xiaomei continued to peel potatoes.
"Maybe hatred alone is not enough." Yin Xiao said something meaningful, which attracted Yang Wangjie's attention.
"Anything else?" Yang Wangjie asked.
"Hairun's boss Shen Zhihong died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and Hairun collapsed immediately."
"So the car accident that happened to Li Zeliang later was what they called murder? Did Hairun's people murder the heir of the Li family to vent their anger?"
"The heir of the Li family? No." Yin Xiao shook his finger at Yang Wangjie. "At that time, Li Zeliang had already taken over the entire Li family. He was the decision maker of that incident."
“Ah?” Yin Xiaomei put down the knife in her hand and interrupted, “Senior Li is so…” She couldn’t find a word to describe him that was neither complimentary nor derogatory.
Yin Xiao smiled and continued her words, "Vicious? He was not an ordinary person. Think about how old Li Zeliang was at that time? Twenty-five or twenty-six? Shame on you, Wang Jie, we are really ashamed."
Yang Wangjie smiled helplessly. How could such a person be compared to someone who was born extraordinary? If he and Yin Xiao also had that kind of family background, they would not necessarily be worse than him.
"So the car accident was really caused by Hairun's people? So they took someone's life?" Yin Xiaomei asked.
"I don't know, but the car accident happened in City B, which is Hairun's territory." Yin Xiao replied.
"Who said it was in City B? It was clearly in Germany." Sister-in-law Qing Xiaoyue came in and joined in the conversation.
"My brother said so." Yin smiled and stuck out his tongue.
"It should be in Germany." Qing Xiaoyue said lightly.
"How do you know?" Yin Xiao asked casually.
"Don't you know that women are very gossipy? Especially about handsome men." Qing Xiaoyue made an expression as if she was fascinated by the handsome guy.
"I'm handsome too." Yin Xiao said.
Upon hearing this, Qing Xiaoyue pretended to vomit and then jumped away.
Next, an originally serious press conference about Li Zeliang’s past ended with the couple’s playfulness.
Yang Wangjie remained silent for a long time. He had never had any contact with people like Li Zeliang, and there was no question of jealousy or anything like that. What broke his calm state of mind
Heidelberg University.
Somehow, these five words kept lingering in Yang Wangjie's mind. During dinner, he kept wondering where he had heard them. It wasn't that he hadn't heard of Heidelberg University before, but he felt as if he had heard someone mention it.
He suddenly remembered the first time he met Xie Yi, his cousin-in-law Wu Weiming introduced him like this: "Xiao Shen is a returnee from Heidelberg University."
At that time, Xieyi smiled and said, "I went there at my own expense because I couldn't make it in M University. Later, I almost got pawned."
This scene suddenly appeared in his mind and Yang Wangjie suddenly put down his chopsticks.
"Wangjie, what's wrong with you?" Yin asked with a smile.
"Yin Xiao, what did you say the name of Hairun's boss was?"
"Shen Zhihong."
After a distracted meal, Yang Wangjie said goodbye to Yin Xiaomei and drove home. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Also surnamed Shen? If he remembered correctly, Xieyi's hometown was also City B. M University, Heidelberg, car accident, City B, surnamed Shen, aren't these things too coincidental
I wanted to verify some things, so I picked up the phone and wanted to call Yin Xiaomei, but after hesitating, I decided to send a text message instead.
"How many years older is Li Zeliang than you?"
In less than ten seconds, there was a reply.
"He was a senior. He graduated when I entered the school. What happened?"
"What about Shen Xieyi?" He wrote this, read it, and deleted it. He seemed to have heard Yin Xiaomei mention that Xieyi was a grade higher than her, and if he asked about Shen Xieyi, Yin Xiaomei might feel uncomfortable.
So, based on this inference, Xieyi and Li Zeliang met for a year at M University, and then went to study abroad at Heidelberg University at the same time. Could it be that their feelings did not arise by chance now, but were established at that time
So, why didn't she know him? Yang Wangjie clearly remembered that he asked Xieyi out for dinner the second time. It was only with his reminder that she was surprised to find that there was something wrong with Li Zeliang's legs. So, she probably didn't know him.
However, Heidelberg is not that big, and even if the Chinese students studying here don't know each other, they can still look familiar, not to mention that they are alumni of domestic universities.
Is it because of her amnesia
He was not a nosy person, but he was very concerned about Xieyi's affairs. Why? He knew it very well. He hesitated and called Xieyi. She seemed to be at home. After the greetings, Yang Wangjie returned to the topic.
"I heard you found a boyfriend?" he said.
Xieyi didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"I just met you and Mr. Li in the supermarket with my friends."
"Ah?" Xie Yi knew that she couldn't just brush off the issue between her and Li Zeliang, so she just smiled and said, "We didn't even see you. You're really not nice enough to not even say hello. I'll have to treat you to a meal some other day."
"I heard that you are college alumni and studied abroad together. It must have taken many years to build up this bond, right?" He deliberately turned the topic back to the focus of his question.
"Actually, I'm ashamed to say that I didn't know him before." Xieyi said.
After a few more words, Yang Wangjie hung up the phone, feeling even more suspicious. From Xieyi's tone, if she didn't know Li Zeliang because of amnesia, then Li Zeliang didn't know her either
However, maybe it is just a coincidence that Xieyi's last name is Shen. It is impossible that she happens to be the daughter of Shen Zhihong. Otherwise, why would Li Zeliang keep the daughter of his enemy by his side for nothing, like a landmine
Yang Wangjie absorbed too much information in one day and felt his mind was a little confused for a moment.
The next day, Yang Wangjie finished the engineering report at the company. He happened to have some free time and thought about what happened yesterday. In order to satisfy his growing curiosity, he didn't have a private detective, but he had the Internet.
He searched the three words "Shen Xieyi" on the website, but there were not many related web pages. He guessed that the name was not very common. After looking carefully, he found a piece of information that reminded him of Zhu Anhuai.
"The young master of Huihu Bank became angry and hired someone to kill him because he failed to harass his subordinates..." It was a long piece of news, and there was a sentence in it: the plaintiff's lawyer Shen Xieyi.
Yang Wangjie drank a glass of water and continued to search, but he did not find any shocking news about Xieyi. No car accident, no amnesia, no Heidelberg, and even no Hairun.
The three words "Shen Xieyi" are almost a blank sheet of paper on the Internet.
Just when he was about to give up, he saw a sentence on the last page of the search.
"List of actors: Shen Hui... Su Xieyi (Law Department)."
Originally, this news had no direct relationship with the name he searched for, but because of the powerful function of the search engine, the "Shen" in Shen Hui and the "Xieyi" in Su Xieyi were put together.
Such a piece of news would not attract Yang Wangjie's attention at all, but the words "During the school anniversary, the school drama club's "Salem Witches" was a success... M University campus news" on the webpage attracted his attention.
This is clearly the drama club and the drama that Yin Xiaomei mentioned.
He carefully checked the news time, which was half a year earlier than Yin Xiaomei entered the school. Apart from this small error, everything matched Xie Yi's.
But why is it "Su Xieyi"
He couldn't bear it any longer and called Yin Xiaomei.
"Yes, she changed her surname. Her previous surname was Su, but she changed it half a year before she went to study in Germany. But everyone was quite surprised at first." Yin Xiaomei replied after hearing Yang Wangjie's straightforward question.
"It is indeed strange."
"Hmm. Isn't it strange that he changed his last name after he became an adult? But... isn't this very common nowadays? Maybe his mother remarried. It is said that he used to take his mother's last name. How can you ask him about this kind of thing?"
Yang Wangjie sat alone in the chair.
Su Xieyi and Shen Xieyi, these two names kept turning around in his mind, and just then Yin Xiao came to his office to hold a meeting with him.
"What's the matter, man? You look quite distracted."
"Yin Xiao, can you help me investigate the Shen family's affairs?" He knew that Yin Xiao had some knowledge in this area.
"What's up?"
"Family matters."
"Family matters?"
"I want to know what the relationship is between Shen Xieyi and Shen Zhihong."
"Who is Shen Xieyi?" He couldn't quite remember where this person had appeared.
"Help me."
