On the way back, Jiang Jinjin was surprisingly silent.
She is also digesting this big news. Her mind was in a mess, but she knew that as long as she found the end of the wool, everything would be sorted out.
Zhou Yan was not used to seeing her not talking.
He wanted to find a topic to stir up the atmosphere several times, but he didn't know what to say.
Did she really know the deceased Xi Chengguang? But at that charity dinner, she didn't look like she knew Xi Chengguang either.
Zhou Yan was also confused, racking his brains all the way, and when he finally thought of something to talk about, the car had already slowly driven into the garage of Zhou's villa. As soon as the car was parked, Jiang Jinjin's cell phone vibrated a few times. While looking down at the news, she got out of the car and walked towards the main building of the villa.
Zhou Yan followed her nervously, afraid that she would fall if she didn't notice.
Jiang Jinjin opened the WeChat interface, and it turned out to be a message from Su Siyue, who had added it a long time ago.
Su Siyue came to the convenience store that day, and the two of them had never chatted since adding WeChat.
Su Siyue: [Mrs. Zhou, sorry to disturb you. My agent and I were very concerned about the matter of Mr. Zhou being on the top of the hot search by someone with a heart. I have been checking for this period of time. The other party hides very deeply. Some time ago, I finally found out some clues.]
Su Siyue: [Mrs. Zhou, do you know Yuansheng Group?]
Seeing this news, Jiang Jinjin stopped abruptly.
Zhou Yan, who was following her, couldn't react in time and almost bumped into her.
He didn't care about himself, and walked up to her, "Did you step on a rock?"
Just said, don't play with your phone while walking.
But it's not easy for him to say that.
Jiang Jinjin locked the phone screen with a dazed expression on his face, thinking about answering Zhou Yan's question on the one hand, but on the other hand thinking about the message from Su Siyue.
At a time like this, it's also hard to do both.
"what… "
Seeing that she was out of state, Zhou Yan was very worried, but he couldn't say anything serious to her, so he just lowered his voice, "Ms. Jiang, have you forgotten, you told me eight hundred times a day ago Don’t look at your phone while walking, why, shouldn’t parents lead by example?”
Jiang Jinjin looked at Zhou Yan's concerned face, and everything that happened recently made her feel a lot of pressure.
Deep down in her heart, it's not that she didn't want to escape - as long as she doesn't investigate, it's fine as long as she continues to be the heartless Jiang Jinjin.
But whenever she had this thought in her heart, she seemed to be able to see the original owner who silently endured everything.
No matter how much pressure there is, no matter how frightened she is about the unknown, she still has to bite the bullet and investigate all the way.
But Zhou Yan's concern at this moment made her nose sore.
She lowered her head, hiding the real emotion in her eyes.
Seeing her lowering her head like this, Zhou Yan thought that what she said was too serious, so she was at a loss and explained in a stumbling manner: "Hey, I didn't mean that, I mean, you can check your phone, but, you still have to pay attention to the road. "
"Ah, I was wrong, I was wrong." Zhou Yan raised his hands in surrender.
Only then did Jiang Jinjin raise his head, with a smug smile on his face, "Boy, you must have been tricked by me."
After she finished speaking, she turned on her phone again, studied her expression, and said to herself, "Can I enter the showbiz and become a queen?"
How can there be any sense of loss and loneliness on her face!
What a waste of his feelings! !
Zhou Yan laughed angrily: "You are the only actress? There is no threshold in the entertainment industry."
Jiang Jinjin didn't want Zhou Yan to worry. He's just a sixteen-year-old high school student with a very straight mind and an unusually soft heart.
The matter of the original owner is too complicated, she doesn't want him to know yet.
She rolled her eyes, and entered the main building noisy with him all the way as before. When Zhou Yan went to the kitchen to find food, she still reminded him with a loud voice: "Go buy it yourself next time! Why? Keep eating from me!"
Zhou Yan turned around and said, "The ones you buy are more delicious."
Jiang Jinjin scolded him a few more words before going upstairs. As soon as she turned around, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
After returning to the bedroom, she continued to open WeChat with shaking hands.
Su Siyue: [Mrs. Zhou, I have nothing to do with Yuansheng Group. You can discuss it with Mr. Zhou to see if you have any problems with Yuansheng Group.]
Before, Su Siyue said that it was not the handiwork of the entertainment industry to put that unfounded scandal on the top of the trending list.
At that time, she even told Zhou Mingfeng.
Zhou Mingfeng said that he knew all about it.
At that time, she thought it was his competitors who wanted to tarnish his image, so they resorted to this trick.
She felt that she didn't understand his business affairs, so she left this matter behind her. Now that Su Siyue mentioned it again, Jiang Jinjin thought little by little about the details that she had neglected before.
For example, Zhou Mingfeng said that he had no business relationship with Yuansheng Group, but he clearly cared about the charity dinner at that time, and he, who always cherishes words like gold, mentioned it several times.
For example, she clearly noticed at that time that Xi Zhiyi always looked at her several times.
For another example, the painting hanging in the gallery where the original owner worked part-time was indeed by Xi Chengguang.
So, now there are actually three possibilities. First, everything is the product of her too big a brain, and everything is just a coincidence. Second, Zhou Mingfeng has an inexplicable relationship with Yuansheng Group, so Yuansheng Group deliberately targeted him, and then put his scandal with Su Siyue back on the hot search list, and third...
Jiang Jinjin stared.
This is also the biggest possibility, that is, the person related to Yuansheng Group is not Zhou Mingfeng, but the original owner.
Jiang Jinjin lay on the bed, thinking a lot.
The more I thought about it, the colder my back became.
After lying down for a long time, she picked up her phone and replied to Su Siyue's message: [Miss Su, thank you, I will tell my husband.]
my husband…
Jiang Jinjin couldn't help thinking: So, if her guess is right, what role did Zhou Mingfeng play in the whole thing
She didn't want to maliciously speculate about the person next to her pillow.
What's more, the relationship during this time is real, his cherishment and respect for her, his concern for her, these are all real.
Do you want to blame him
She has always been tolerant to her friends, and she will not be too harsh on the man she likes. What's more, she hasn't been 100% honest from the beginning to the end, isn't she
Just as Jiang Jinjin was thinking wildly, someone knocked on the door.
"It's me!" Zhou Yan's voice sounded outside the door.
Jiang Jinjin had no choice but to drag her body over to open the door. The moment she opened the door, she immediately cheered up again, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Yan looked at her, "I'm hungry."
Jiang Jinjin: "...boy, say it again, I'm not your nanny."
Zhou Yan: "But you are my parent."
This sentence made Jiang Jinjin lose his temper at all, and said angrily: "Let the aunt at home do it for you."
At this moment, Zhou Yan showed the characteristics of the bear child to the fullest: "But I don't want to eat at home, I want to go out to eat."
Jiang Jinjin: "..."
Zhou Yan resorted to a trick: "How about this, let's go out to eat something, I'll go shopping with you, and I'll pay for you, how about it?"
Jiang Jinjin pricked up his ears: "You pay for me?"
Zhou Yan nodded, took out a card from his pocket, "Yes."
Jiang Jinjin: "Let's talk about it in advance, how much is the budget."
If she was given a budget of fifty hundred, she would roll her eyes to the sky.
Zhou Yan gritted his teeth: "There is no upper limit."
Jiang Jinjin looked at him in surprise, "Is the iron cock starting to pluck?"
There is no upper limit, the feeling is completely different when it is said from the mouths of father and son.
Zhou Mingfeng said that there is no upper limit, which makes Su's legs weak.
Zhou Yan said this... Jiang Jinjin could feel the bleeding in his heart most intuitively.
Zhou Yan: "Go or not?!"
"Go!" Of course, if you miss this opportunity to squeeze the wool, you don't know if you will have the chance to kill Zhou Yan for the second time in this life.
Jiang Jinjin happily followed Zhou Yan out, and the two went to eat grilled fish. Jiang Jinjin actually had no appetite, but seeing Zhou Yan eating so deliciously, he was also influenced to eat half a bowl of rice without knowing it.
After eating, the two went shopping in a nearby shopping mall.
Jiang Jinjin does not live extravagantly, nor does he like to collect jewelry or limited-edition handbags like the wives in the villa area. Although someone pays for her food, clothing, housing and transportation, she still can't bear to buy a bag worth hundreds of thousands. Compared with big brands, she prefers to hire niche designers to help her tailor clothes, and she is more used to digging for handbags from unpopular brands.
However, strangely enough...
Before she knew it, she actually led the other wives in the villa area to follow the unpopular niche, so that the niche brands she favored at that time became arrogant and raised their prices! !
When he came to the shopping mall, Zhou Yan's expression was as dignified as that of a strong man.
Jiang Jinjin went for a walk in every store, but in the end, she only bought a bottle of perfume.
When Zhou Yan went to pay the bill, his steps were much lighter, and the smile on his face was extremely real.
Just because the price of this bottle of perfume is less than a thousand.
Coming out of the shopping mall, Zhou Yan said in a relaxed tone, "It just so happens that this place is close, let's go to Panhu Yaxuan."
Jiang Jinjin: "What are you doing there?"
Zhou Yan looked at her with a very strange look, "It's a house at home, I think my notes from junior high school might be left there, go and look for it."
Panhu Yaxuan is a real estate developed a few years ago.
The unit price was high, and many people paid attention to it before the opening of the market, and the popularity of the market was on the news as soon as the market opened.
"No, how many houses does your father own?"
Of course she knew that a businessman like Zhou Mingfeng must have a considerable amount of real estate.
But she didn't deliberately inquire about it. She came here through the book and lived in the forest villa all the time.
Zhou Yan: "You don't know?"
Without waiting for Jiang Jinjin to answer, Zhou Yan said immediately: "You don't even know, so will I know?"
Jiang Jinjin was dizzy, and drove Zhou Yan to Panhu Yaxuan in the car. He looked at the patchwork of high-rise buildings and the green environment of the community. Price…
At this moment, she finally had a kind of—
Jiang Jinjin, you are promising! !
You actually met such a man! ! !
At the same time, in the old house of Xi's family, Xi Zhiyi received the news, put down her work and drove back.
In the past, the old house of the Xi family was very splendid and lively. With the passing away of the father and son of the Xi family, this old house is no longer the harbor in Xi Zhiyi's mind.
She was born here and grew up here. She should be full of affection for this place, but every time she comes back, she wants to leave as soon as possible.
In the last three or four generations of the Xi family, there have been exceptionally gifted geniuses in each generation.
It’s just that God is fair. The Xi family seems to be cursed. Almost every generation of talents has never lived past the age of thirty. At the beginning, the family members didn’t know what was going on. After Xi Chengguang was born, with the development of medicine, they It was only then that I gradually figured out what was going on. Xi’s family has a genetic disease gene, and this disease is only transmitted to males and not females. The onset depends on the probability. Onset at ten years old.
No matter how advanced modern medicine is, there are still many diseases that cannot be overcome.
The Xi family spent countless manpower and financial resources, but they were still unable to prevent Xi Chengguang's death.
Under the helpless eyes of the housekeeper, Xi Zhiyi went up to the second floor. The second floor was lifeless. She came to a bedroom, and the door of the bedroom was ajar.
Walking in, I saw her mother was sitting in a rocking chair looking through an old photo album.
Xi Zhiyi didn't need to look closely to know that the photo album contained photos of her younger brother.
When she was young, her brother didn't understand anything when he was young, but she already knew that his brother had a disease that was destined to not live long, so she didn't need to be reminded by her elders. In fact, at that time, the relationship between their siblings had always been very good. Occasionally, she would cry secretly when she thought that her brother would not live long. Later, she heard her mother talking to herself or telling others several times, how could this disease not be passed on to Zhiyi
She thought she was not good enough, so she worked hard, but no matter how good she was, her parents thought her younger brother was better.
She believed that if she could choose who had the disease, her parents would definitely choose her without hesitation.
As time went by, her heart became colder and harder.
She no longer begs for mercy, no longer expects ridiculous fatherly love and motherly love.
Sometimes when she thinks that their little brother who is full of love will not live long at all, she will feel a sense of joy, but every time she thinks like this, she will feel a sense of self-loathing, because no matter how indifferent she is, her brother always treats her As always. So, when she got older, she gradually avoided her younger brother, seeing her as soon as she could, and her relationship became weaker and weaker, until everyone knew that the siblings of the Xi family were at odds.
Mother Xi raised her head, looked at her daughter at the door, and said expressionlessly, "I'm back."
"If Chengguang is still alive, if Chengguang can see that he knows that you treat his beloved like this, do you think he will forgive you?" Xi Zhiyi said lightly, "Why vent your anger on Jiang Jinjin, you should not be so confused Do you want to blame Chengguang's death on her?"
Xi Mu is like a walking dead, and will not be angered by such words.
Every time the mother and daughter talked, every time the door was slammed and the person left was Xi Zhiyi.
Xi's mother's lifeless calm made her close friends gradually alienate her.
"Chengguang said that she is his wife." Ximu said.
Xi Zhiyi sneered, "When Chengguang was alive, you didn't agree with him marrying Jinjin. Why, now you admit that she is Chengguang's wife? The two of them are not married. Besides, even if they are married, Chengguang has passed away. Why don't you let Jinjin start a new life for no reason?"
"You can go." Xi Mu slowly closed her eyes, "You don't need to worry about your brother's affairs."
"Do you think Zhou Mingfeng will tolerate you like me?" Xi Zhiyi said, "If there is another time, I guarantee that the company will not lose the project."
After saying this, Xi Zhiyi turned around and walked out the door.
Next door on the second floor is my brother's former room.
Xi Zhiyi entered the room and looked at the photos hanging on the wall. She looked coldly at Xi Chengguang in the photos.
It's ridiculous.
Knowing his own body, knowing that he can't live that long, but still falling in love with others stubbornly.
He fell in love with Jiang Jinjin, but he never seemed to think about what his lover would experience if he passed away one day.
Is this kind of love too selfish
I'm afraid Jiang Jinjin is also regretting that he met Xi Chengguang and had a nightmare life.
On the other side, Jiang Jinjin parked the car and followed Zhou Yan to Building D.
Swipe your fingerprints and enter the elevator.
The management here is very strict, and it may be located in the bustling area of the city center, and the privacy is better than that of the forest villa.
The elevator stopped on the 16th floor and opened.
Building D is different from others. It has one elevator and one household. Simply put, it is a flat-floor pattern.
While swiping his fingerprints, Zhou Yan said, "I'll record your fingerprints later."
Jiang Jinjin was still reserved: "No need, this is not my house."
Zhou Yan turned his head to look at her, and said in a very natural tone: "What is this, isn't my father's all yours?"
Although Jiang Jinjin didn't take this seriously, he still wanted to laugh when he heard it.
Zhou Yan thought of something and said: "Don't worry, I won't want my dad's things in the future, I will do what I say."
"Stop talking stupid things." Jiang Jinjin said, "You have lowered the family's IQ!"
Never seen such a fool!
After going through a month or two of beatings from the society, I still haven’t awakened…
Zhou Yan sneered, "You are tacky."
The door was swiped open, and to Jiang Jinjin's surprise, the lights in the room were on.
She looked at Zhou Yan in horror.
The first thought is, thief or robber?
Zhou Yan's expression was very calm, as if he understood her heart, and said, "Don't worry, it's my dad."
Jiang Jinjin: "?"
This house has a large area, and the kitchen is open. When you walk in, you can see a decanter on the dining table, filled with attractively colored red wine.
At this moment, Zhou Mingfeng's figure appeared in her sight.
He rolled up his shirt sleeves to his elbows and held a plate in his hand. Seeing them coming, he smiled gently, "Just right, the steak is almost done."
Jiang Jinjin looked at him, then at Zhou Yan.
Immediately realized that he was tricked by the father and son! !
She gave Zhou Yan a hard look.
Zhou Yan hurriedly raised his hands in surrender: "I was forced." Then he said: "Dad, don't fry my steak, I made an appointment with Zhengfei and I'm leaving now!"
Jiang Jinjin said angrily, "Have you made an appointment? Why are you making an appointment? Are you going to a bar for a drink?"
Zhou Yan: "..."
Can you forget about black history
Jiang Jinjin snorted softly, "I'm too lazy to talk to you."
She turned away and went elsewhere, wanting to visit the big house.
Zhou Yan sighed.
In fact, he didn't want to "calculate" her like this today, but he was always worried when he thought that something was wrong with her.
When his dad called, he was very loyal and didn't say a word about the gallery!
However, his father actually knew all about it, and even asked him to take her out to get some air.
He had no choice but to cooperate.
Zhou Yan really wanted to leave.
He was sensitively aware that something had happened. If he was here, neither his father nor Ms. Jiang would open up to talk about it.
Zhou Yan saw that Jiang Jinjin had gone elsewhere, so he came to the kitchen awkwardly, hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "Actually, you were married before, and you took me..."
Zhou Yan could also roughly guess that the deceased Mr. Xi might have had something to do with Ms. Jiang.
But that's okay!
Zhou Mingfeng looked at him.
Zhou Yan continued: "Don't be too stingy. She is twenty-seven years old, so many people will like her, so it's normal for her to have a relationship with someone."
As he was talking, Zhou Yan couldn't control his mouth anymore, and actually said: "And she doesn't mind if you get married and divorced, and you have a sixteen-year-old son with you..."
It's time to be content! !
Ms. Jiang doesn't even mind you!
Zhou Mingfeng sighed. For the first time in his life, he was educated by his son.
All he could say was, "Got it."
