After solving the case, Jian Jing's worries disappeared and she slept in for a long time, not getting up until ten in the morning.
The sky outside is extremely clear, the sunshine is intoxicatingly beautiful, and the spring breeze blowing on the face is so comfortable that one can't wait to go out for a walk.
Jian Jing had intended to avoid the Jiang family's internal affairs and wanted to pack her luggage and leave directly. But when she thought about it, the three brothers and sisters of the Jiang family stuck together, Jiang Xue's mother and daughter supported each other, and even Jiang Yue, who was also an outsider, had Secretary Fan to help her. Only Jiang Baiyan was all alone, and none of his usually capable and capable agents were there. It was really too miserable.
So I decided to play deaf and dumb and not leave for the time being, so as to make others a little more cautious.
So he specifically called the nanny and said he was going out to visit some scenic spots and would be back in the evening, so "tell Jiang Xun not to run around."
"I would be very distressed if he disappeared." Jian Jing specifically asked her to convey this message.
The nanny didn't know what this sentence meant when translated - don't kidnap or put me under house arrest - so she agreed very enthusiastically.
Jian Jing just went out.
As expected of a famous tourist city, the weather here has been neither too hot nor too cold for the past few days, making it a very comfortable place to travel. There are many people here.
Jian Jing didn't look like a public figure. She was not wearing sunglasses or a mask, and was just walking on the roadside enjoying the scenery.
At first, there were only a few people who looked at her frequently, but she didn't pay much attention. Later, two children were bold enough to ask directly, "Is that Teacher Jian?"
Jane nodded and smiled.
They immediately asked in a cautious but eager tone if they could take a photo together.
It wasn't a big deal, so she agreed.
Then things got out of control.
Rose Gold is still in theaters, with such a high box office, but only a handful of people have heard of it. Young people may not watch mystery shows, but the recent Haunted Mansion was a very popular variety show, and some people remember her face.
If you meet a celebrity on the street, even if you are not a fan, it’s always a good idea to take a photo with him.
Everyone stopped and lined up to take pictures.
The crowded crowd attracted the attention of other passers-by.
The real bystanders who like to watch the show recognized who she was. Seeing so many people asking to take photos with her, their first reaction was that some celebrity had come.
Then, in a flash, they all came up and raised their phones to take photos or videos.
There are many grandpas, aunts, uncles and aunts among them.
While they were queuing, they were begging her very loudly.
"She played the second role in xxx!"
"No, it's a group that recently participated in a talent show. My girlfriend watched a show about some group."
"What are you looking at? She is someone from a recent costume drama, a very pretty one."
"Aunt, she is a writer, the author of the movie Rose Gold."
"Oh, I know. It's that writer of romance novels."
Jian Jing: “…”
She was surrounded and unable to break out.
"I'm sorry." She firmly rejected the request of the person behind her, "I have to catch a flight, please make way."
The agility of the character panel has never been so important. Jian Jing dodged left and right, and moved flexibly among the crowd. After great efforts, she finally escaped.
She immediately bought a hat from the street that was specifically designed to rip off tourists.
Thinking it was not safe, I rushed into the convenience store and bought another pink mask to put on.
It's quiet.
is the side effect of the "prestigious" fame value, which is sweet and troublesome.
There were too many people at the tourist attraction, so she took a quick tour and took a taxi straight to the local food restaurant.
The food is okay, with some famous additional ingredients, but it's not particularly amazing. The service and environment are remarkable, and the overall score is above passing.
After eating, head to another attraction.
Keep checking in.
Done.
Today is a very touristy day.
Jian Jing returned to the Jiang family villa with satisfaction and regret, and was greatly surprised.
For a few days, the whole villa was brightly lit, and the light did not stop until late at night. The windows reflected the figures of people walking around, and the place was so lively and noisy that it seemed as if a conflict could break out at any time.
At this moment, she found that the lights in other rooms were all off, and only one light was on in the public area. The Jiang family members who were on the verge of war last night were nowhere to be seen.
The air was filled with the smell of cigarettes and strong tea, and no sound of high heels could be heard in the corridor.
In such a big villa, there was only the old nanny.
"Where are the others?" Jian Jing suddenly had an illusion and thought she had been gone for ten days or half a month.
The old nanny shook her head and sighed: "They are all gone."
"Where did you go?"
She said, "I don't know, they've all left anyway." She also said, "Xiao Xun is in his father's room."
Jian Jing was very surprised and went upstairs to find Jiang Baiyan.
He was actually in the chairman's bedroom, which was the room with the best view in the entire villa, with an extra-large terrace facing the lake and peach forest.
Jiang Baiyan was lying in a lounge chair on the terrace, swaying from time to time like a retired old man.
"Are they all gone?" she asked.
Jiang Baiyan said lazily: "After dividing the spoils, of course everyone goes back to their own homes and each looks after their own mothers."
Jian Jing glanced at him and felt that he was not in a good mood.
"So fast." Taking advantage of the fact that he was lying down and unable to get up, she touched his head without mercy.
Jiang Baiyan yawned and said, "Of course it wouldn't be that fast. It would be a waste if the battle for the inheritance of a wealthy family was not filmed for forty episodes. Isn't it a special situation? He almost lost everything, so things are much simpler."
Jian Jing was quite curious about what kind of deal they had reached, but thinking that it was the privacy of the wealthy family after all, she did not ask any further questions.
He took the initiative to speak: "Yesterday we worked until about three o'clock, and today we worked all day. In the end, the consensus was that he died of illness. Anyway, it's hard to say whether it was morphine or the oxygen machine... Anyway, the chairman himself doesn't care."
The last sentence inevitably smacks of mockery.
Jian Jing also sighed along with him. As a father, he was absolutely amazing.
"But I did make a profit after all." Jiang Baiyan rested his head on his arm and looked at the stars in the distance. "In the chairman's estimation, I should be the unlucky one."
Jian Jing suddenly fell silent.
Yes, according to the chairman's original plan, the six men would form alliances, and the scapegoat who would be squeezed out in the end would most likely be the isolated and helpless Jiang Baiyan.
He had been away from home for ten years and knew nothing about the situation at home. He also had no helpers like Mrs. Jiang and Secretary Fan. The only value of his existence was to become an "enemy" and force the other five to form an alliance.
, is this the real reason why he was called back
"What am I?" he asked.
Jian Jing couldn't answer.
"Jiang Ou said that he didn't believe that I was the only innocent person in this incident." Jiang Baiyan suddenly said, "Jingjing, what do you think?"
Jian Jing thought for a long time before saying, "Maybe."
Jiang Baiyan: "What does maybe mean?"
"What I mean is that I believe you didn't do it,..." She turned her gaze back to his face, "You hid something from me."
"Hey—" He smiled, which was very different from his usual appearance. His interjections were still as cute as ever, but his tone was cold, like a quiet lake under the night sky, no longer as gentle and lovely as it was during the day. "What's the matter?"
Jian Jing: "I don't know. It's hard for me to tell when you're lying."
Jiang Baiyan sighed softly and said, "It's actually very simple. When the chairman was alive, no matter how much Jiang Lian and the others were on guard against me, he still had a way to meet with me alone. We talked a lot."
"He asked me why I wanted to act," he paused and said nonchalantly, "I said, because I have been liked by many people since I was a child, and I want to be liked by many people."
The previous and current statements were completely different. Jian Jing thought, maybe both were true.
"The chairman said that I can firmly choose what I want to do, which is much better than Jiang Ou. He always wants to do one thing at one moment and another at another moment. Every time he says he wants to invest, but in fact he always gives up halfway."
Jian Jing smiled: "I was very happy at that time."
"Of course." Jiang Baiyan said, slowly getting up from the rocking chair and sitting cross-legged. "He also said that he watched the movie I acted in and thought it was very good, so he asked the company to book a theater and invited all employees to watch it. This should be true. I asked the driver and secretary, and they said they all went and the movie was very good,..."
He turned his head and said word by word: "It's all to deceive me."
Jian Jing was stunned.
"He told me to do whatever I wanted, and that I was his son, and he wouldn't treat me unfairly," he said slowly. "For a while, I believed him."
"Then what?"
"The afternoon he died, didn't I say that I met him before seven o'clock?" Jiang Baiyan said, "The chairman asked me to go to him at twelve o'clock in the evening. He has something to give me."
Jian Jing was shocked and couldn't believe it.
"I find it very strange, very, very strange." Jiang Baiyan said calmly, "It's normal for a person to suddenly feel guilty and want to compensate his son before he dies, but why is he suddenly so nice to me?"
"The chairman can't possibly be so nice to me. He never cared about me before. Why is he treating me differently now that he's dying? Jiang Lian and the others went to look for him, but sometimes he wouldn't see them, but instead asked Secretary Fan to look for me.
"Now I understand. Secretary Fan knows, and Jiang Yue knows. When he dies—whether someone kills him or he dies on his own—I will be the most suitable scapegoat."
Jian Jing pursed her lips.
She originally thought that this was a multiple-choice question, and if others were not greedy and did not take action, everyone could get a reasonable share. Unexpectedly, she was totally wrong. How could the chairman allow such a "good" ending
If two people take action, the group's shares are scattered among six people, so there will inevitably be conflicts.
Yes, he is a dictator and a tyrant, and he does not allow any room for opposition at all.
is the most reasonable explanation.
She still comforted him: "Maybe he just wants to know more about you."
"No, the chairman knows me well enough." Jiang Baiyan said slowly, "I am the only dog among a litter of wolf cubs."
He said: "The lotus represents purity, the unicorn represents auspiciousness, the seagull represents existence, the moon and snow are also very beautiful things, only Jiang Xun has everything."
Xun means waterside, and Jiangxun means the bank of the river.
What's on the river bank? Yes.
Not even flowers, grass, cats or dogs.
Jiang Baiyan laughed briefly and said, "Lawyer Cai gave me a letter saying that only those who have the inheritance rights can read it, so they don't know. The letter contains the monitoring account number and password, as well as a sentence."
He slowly read out the first line of words: "The truth is not important. The answer you recognize is reality."
Jane was silent.
"He was telling Jiang Qi and the others that it didn't matter whether I was a bad guy or not. My existence was to complete his plan." Jiang Baiyan said, "It was just like the scene in a Japanese drama, where a group of people made the same mistake and kept it a secret, not telling anyone."
"The chairman is very powerful. Although he never cares about me, he really knows me well. If there is any unexpected event, I will go." It was very uncomfortable to say, but Jiang Baiyan's mood was very stable. "I rarely have the opportunity to talk to the chairman alone. Very rarely. When I lived with my mother, he didn't come often. When I came to the Jiang family, Jiang Lian and the others didn't allow me to talk to him more. It was rare to call him 'Dad' when we met."
How could a child who has received father's love since childhood refuse such an opportunity
Yes, the chairman had a plan. He would go even if he felt strange about it, and spend more time with his father, listening to him praise him, recognize him, and care about him.
"So it's me. Only a poor wretch like me would be fooled. And, even if I knew the truth, I wouldn't hate him." He covered his face and laughed mockingly, "I'm willing to use money to exchange for his love. He has never liked me before - that was the only time he liked me."
Jian Jing finally couldn't help it: "Stop talking."
Jiang Baiyan laughed instead and lay back in the rocking chair: "Don't be sad, it's just talk. Look, this beautiful place belongs to me now."
He looked up and said softly, "It's great to have money. Now I have brothers and sisters."
