Jiang Qiao has been an assistant to Wei Yucheng for more than 20 years, and he knows more or less about what happened when he was young.

He looked at the woman in the photo, swallowed, and repeated in his mouth, "I know her." ”

Wei Yuanxi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does she have to do with my father?"

"......" Jiang Qiao was silent, but he was still a little hesitant in his heart.

Not long ago, Wei Yucheng also told him not to disclose the matter about this woman to anyone, especially the Wei family.

He naturally knew the stakes, but the conditions put forward by Wei Yuanxi made him really tempted. He thought of his unruly son, his high debts, and the red paint splashed by the debt collectors at the door.

His life had been tortured to the point where he didn't want to go on like this.

"Uncle Jiang!" Wei Yuanxi saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and raised his voice to urge.

Jiang Qiao raised his eyes and looked at Wei Yuanxi.

He clenched his fists, as if he had made up his mind.

"This woman, she has nothing to do with Lao Wei. Jiang Qiao finally spoke.

Wei Yuanxi frowned and said, "Uncle Jiang, what I want to hear is the truth. ”

Obviously, he didn't believe Jiang Qiao's words.

"Sanshao, what I said is true. Jiang Qiao said seriously, "You listen to me." ”

"......" Wei Yuanxi didn't speak, waiting for him.

Jiang Qiao sighed and continued: "Speaking of which, this was also more than twenty years ago. ”

"At that time, I had only been with Mr. Wei for a long time, and once, I went on a business trip with him and met this woman. As he spoke, he lifted his hand and pointed to the picture on the coffee table.

"This woman is young and beautiful, and her temperament is also very good, because she came to the office to find Mr. Wei a few times about her man's company's investment. Jiang Qiao hung his head, as if he was stuck in a memory.

"Yes, her man at that time was Ji Jianmin, the general manager of Beixin. At that time, Ji Jianmin did not return to Beixin, it seemed that he had a conflict with his family and went to other places to start a business. ”

"I remember that his company lacked funds, and he was looking for someone to invest everywhere at that time, in addition to this woman, Ji Jianmin also looked for Mr. Wei several times, but Mr. Wei never let go. ”

"What happened later?" asked Wei Yuanxi.

Jiang Qiao glanced at him, pursed his lips, and was very embarrassed: "Later, Mr. Wei was relieved. ”

"However, I don't know what made Mr. Wei relieved. Jiang Qiao frowned, "That day, the partner temporarily called me to attend a meeting, so I don't know what happened later that day." ”

"I only know that after that day, Mr. Wei asked me to prepare a contract for the investment of Ji Jianmin's company, saying that he had promised to invest. ”

After speaking, Jiang Qiao looked at Wei Yuanxi.

"Sanshao, that's all I know. ”

Wei Yuanxi stared at him, seeing that he looked serious, it didn't seem like he was lying.

He wiped his face, frowned and asked, "What about after that, didn't you see her again?" he pointed to the photo on the coffee table.

Jiang Qiao shook his head and said, "After that day, she never came again, and neither did Ji Jianmin." Later, we finished our work in the local area and soon returned to Fengcheng, so I don't know what happened next. ”

Wei Yuanxi opened his mouth and asked again.

At this time, Gao Zhan knocked on the door and came in.

He held the tea in his hand, and after putting it down, Wei Yuanxi let him out.

"Drink tea, Uncle Jiang. Wei Yuanxi pointed to the cup of tea placed in front of him.

Jiang Qiao nodded and picked up the teacup.

He took a small sip, the tea was warm, not very hot, and there was a faint fragrance.

"San Shao, is there anything else you want to ask?" Jiang Qiao put down the teacup and asked towards Wei Yuanxi.

Wei Yuanxi coughed lightly, opened his lips and said, "Have you told anyone else about these things?"

"Nope. Jiang Qiao shook his head and replied affirmatively, "I have always been silent about the people and things I come into contact with at work, this is my professional duty." ”

Wei Yuanxi nodded and said, "Then I hope you can stick to your professional duties in the future and don't reveal this matter to anyone again." ”

"I understand, Sanshao. Jiang Qiao responded.

"Okay, you can go. Wei Yuanxi waved his hand and said.

"Then I'm ......" Jiang Qiao sat still and said hesitantly.

Wei Yuanxi knew what he wanted to say, so he said, "Your business, I will let Assistant Gao connect with you." ”

"Yes, Sanshao. Jiang Qiao nodded, and then went out with his briefcase.

Wei Yuanxi called Gao Zhan, and after explaining a few words, he hung up the phone.

He sat on the couch, his frown still not relieved.

He kneaded his eyebrows, thinking about what Jiang Qiao said.

In this way, the most important thing is what happened on that day.

Wei Yuanxi's brows were about to furrow, thinking about what might happen that day.

A few minutes later, Gao Zhan pushed the door in.

He saw Wei Yuanxi sitting on the sofa and walked over.

"Mr. Wei, the money given to Mr. Jiang Qiao has been called, and about his work, I also said that he would let him connect with me. Gao Zhan crossed his hands, folded them in front of his abdomen, and said respectfully towards Wei Yuanxi.

Wei Yuanxi listened and hummed thoughtfully.

"If you don't have any orders, I'll go out first. ”

"Let's get out. Wei Yuanxi said casually.

He has fallen into a cage that he can't break through, his mind is struggling, but he can't do it.

Wei Yuanxi felt that Ji Jianmin must know something, but the last time he came to the company, he didn't want to mention it back then. If he asked, he probably wouldn't get any answer.

Many doubts haunted Wei Yuanxi until Saturday.

He told Ji Anxin that he would go to see his grandmother today, and early in the morning, the two packed up and went to Kerry's apartment.

Jiang Mingyue knew that they were coming, so she asked her aunt to prepare the dishes early.

As soon as the two arrived at the door, they washed their hands and sat down to eat.

Jiang Mingyue looked at the young couple opposite, frowned, and said, "I see that both of your faces have lost weight, and you haven't eaten well recently, have you?"

Ji Anxin just took a bite of fish and swallowed it before he spoke: "Where is the weight loss, I still think that I sit in the office all day without exercising, and I still have meat on my waist." ”

"You kid, you really ......" Jiang Mingyue shook her head helplessly.

She went to see Wei Yuanxi again, and when she saw that he was stunned and didn't move his chopsticks, she said, "Yuanxi, you can eat too." ”

Wei Yuanxi smiled and raised his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.

Ji Anxin glanced at him, and his heart sank.

After the meal, Ji Anxin sat in the living room with Jiang Mingyue and said something considerate.

The two stayed with Jiang Mingyue until three o'clock in the afternoon before leaving.

In the car, Ji Anxin glanced at the man who was driving, pursed his lips, and said, "Do you have something on your mind? You were eating at your grandmother's place just now, and you were absent-minded." ”

Wei Yuanxi hooked his lips and said, "It's nothing." ”

Where would Ji Anxin believe it, his thoughtful face looked like there was something hidden in his heart.

"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it. But if you want to say it, you can always tell me. Ji Anxin raised his hand, shook the man's hand on the steering wheel, and said softly.

Wei Yuanxi glanced at her, patted the back of her hand with his other hand, and said, "It's really okay, I just didn't sleep well last night." ”

He still didn't want to tell her, or rather, he didn't know how to tell her.

Because, even he wasn't sure what had happened to his father and her parents before.

Judging from their attitude of not talking, he vaguely felt that it should not be a good thing.

At this time, Ji Anxin said: "Then I'll make you some soothing tea at night, so that you can sleep better." ”

Wei Yuanxi nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Soon it was Monday, Wei Yucheng was officially prosecuted by the procuratorate, and Wei Yuanxi could no longer hide the two old people at home.

After learning the news, Chen Shuyuan hid in the room and kept wiping her tears, and Wei Wangjing also had a calm face.

Zhou Yu is very calm, he should eat and drink every day, there is not much difference from before.

Maybe there is, maybe only she knows.

Wei Zhongqin finished his vacation and returned to the army.

Because of Wei Yucheng's matter, Dingzhou's stock was affected, and Wei Mingting was in the field, entangled in many things, and couldn't spare time to go home.

Wei Yuanxi is also so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, often working until two or three o'clock in the morning, and the time for business trips has become more, and he is not at home for almost four or five days a week.

Ji Anxin occasionally woke up from a dream late at night, looked at the cold bed next to him, was in a daze, and had a moment of trance to reflect on whether he had done something wrong.

But she quickly denied herself, because An Yuyan's desperate screams in the dream were still filling her mind, as if reminding her not to be soft-hearted.

On July 20th, Ji Anxin went to bed early.

The bedside lamp has been on in the bedroom, and since Wei Yuanxi began to travel frequently, Ji Anxin has developed this habit. Sometimes, it's so dark that she can't sleep.

That night, the bedside lamp was also on.

She slept in a daze, and faintly heard footsteps.

She wanted to open her eyes to take a look, but she was so sleepy that her upper and lower eyelids seemed to be stuck with glue, and she couldn't open them.

Later, the footsteps disappeared and became the sound of rushing water.

Ji Anxin was accompanied by such a voice, but he still couldn't open his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the water disappeared.

Then, she heard footsteps coming towards the bed.

In a daze, someone imprinted a kiss on her forehead.

Ji Anxin realized that something was wrong, and opened his eyes with difficulty, and a figure stood vaguely in front of him.

"Hmm......" Ji Anxin snorted.

"It's me. Wei Yuanxi touched her face at this time and spoke.

Ji Anxin heard the familiar man's voice, and ran away from her sleepiness for most of the time, she blinked her eyes, trying to see the man's face clearly.

"Why did you come back so late?" she said, her voice hoarse as she had just woken up.

Wei Yuanxi lifted the quilt and went to bed, kissed her face, lay down and said, "I miss you." ”

Yes, he has been on a business trip for a long time, and the two have not seen each other for almost a week.

Ji Anxin's body moved, and he nestled in his arms to find a comfortable position.

She raised her hand and touched the man's face.

"Why have you lost weight again?" she asked, frowning.

Wei Yuanxi didn't speak, buried his head in her neck and rubbed it.

Frequent business trips, irregular meals, can you not lose weight?

Ji Anxin touched his back again, and measured it with his hand, as if there was less meat in that place.

Thinking about it like this, Ji Anxin was inevitably a little distressed.

She kissed the man's chin and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

The two hadn't seen each other for many days, so they hugged each other like this.

He leaned closer, touched Ji Anxin's lips, and kissed and kissed.

After a while, he retreated and stayed away from Ji Anxin.

"No, I can't. Wei Yuanxi gritted his teeth and said in a restrained voice.

Ji Anxin raised his hand, grabbed his shoulders, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wei Yuanxi got out of bed, opened the drawer, found the small things, and then returned to the bed.

Later, naturally, it was a passionate entanglement.

Within two days, Wei Yuanxi was on a business trip again.

The life of the two is not as good as that of a couple on weekends.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and by early August, the temperature has risen to almost 38 degrees.

Going out in such weather is a challenge for anyone.

As soon as a person goes out, he doesn't take two steps, and he has to sweat all over his body, and even the wind is hot, blowing on the person's body sticky.

On August 5, Wei Yucheng's case officially opened.

Wei Yuanxi and Ji Anxin attended together, and Chen Shuyuan and Wei Wangjing also wanted to come, but they were afraid that the two old men would be stimulated, so they did not agree.

As for Zhou Yu, she even went to other places to help Fang Xuan take the baby, but she was unwilling to attend.

Wei Zhongqin is still on a mission, and it is impossible to come.

Wei Yuanxi and Ji Anxin sat below until the end.

Due to the conclusive evidence, Wei Yucheng was sentenced to three years and had to pay Yang Muke 2 million in compensation.

At the end, Wei Yuanxi looked at Wei Yucheng, who had suddenly aged a lot on the stage, and the fist on his leg couldn't help but tighten.

Ji Anxin held his hand and comforted him silently.

Wei Yucheng was taken away and was about to start a dark life.

Ji Anxin accompanied Wei Yuanxi out of the courthouse, she saw Lu Zhengnan, walked over, and shook hands with him.

Lu Zhengnan opened his mouth and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I've done my best." ”

"Anyway, thank you very much. Ji Anxin hooked his lips and said.

Lu Zhengnan glanced at Wei Yuanxi next to him and said, "Yuanxi, Dingzhou still has to rely on you." ”

Half of his words were left in half, and Wei Yuanxi naturally understood what he meant.

"Don't worry. Wei Yuanxi reluctantly hooked his lips.

Then, Lu Zhengnan called Ji Anxin aside to speak.

"I don't think Yuanxi is quite right, you pay more attention to him. Lu Zhengnan tilted his head and whispered.

Ji Anxin hummed and said, "Thank you for your concern, I will." ”

Lu Zhengnan nodded and said, "That's good." ”

As he spoke, he looked at his watch.

"There's still something in my company, so I won't tell you about it yet, and we'll talk about it another day. ”

Ji Anxin responded: "You go and get busy." ”

Wei Yuanxi watched Lu Zhengnan hurriedly leave, and then paced to Ji Anxin's side.

"What did he tell you?" Wei Yuanxi asked with an eyebrow.

Ji Anxin grabbed his arm, hooked his lips and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Yiren has been losing his temper with him recently, and he asked me a few words what to do." ”

"That's it?" Wei Yuanxi frowned.

Ji Anxin nodded: "Yes, that's it." ”

As she spoke, she led the man forward.

"What should I do now, do you want to go back to the old house?" asked Ji Anxin as he walked.

Wei Yuanxi answered and said, "Sooner or later, they will know. ”

After the words fell, the two walked to the car and got into the back seat together.

Ji Anxin said to the driver in the front seat: "Go back to the old house." ”

After the driver answered, he started the car without saying a word and drove towards the old house.

Since Wei Yuanxi got into the car, he leaned back on the back of the chair with a lazy expression, and did not speak.

Ji Anxin shook his hand, but the man's hand was very cold in the hot weather. She leaned over the man, her head next to his shoulder, silent comfort.

The driver drove smoothly and quickly, and in less than forty minutes, the car arrived at the old house.

Chen Shuyuan and Wei Wangjing sat in the living room, waiting early.

Seeing them enter the house, Chen Shuyuan hurriedly stood up and asked nervously, "San'er, how is your father's case?"

"......" Wei Yuanxi didn't speak immediately, but walked up to Chen Shuyuan and comforted her to sit down.

"It's been sentenced. Wei Yuanxi said in a heavy voice, "Grandma, you are mentally prepared. ”

When Chen Shuyuan heard him say this, her heart couldn't help beating faster.

She held Wei Yuanxi's hand, and her voice trembled: "Okay, okay, you say ......"

Wei Yuanxi pursed his lips, and then spoke: "Dad, he's sentenced to three years." ”

When Chen Shuyuan heard this, her eyes suddenly widened, and then she fainted without warning.

"Grandma!"

"Old lady!"

The room suddenly became a pot of porridge, filled with the sound of shouting.

Everyone hurriedly sent Chen Shuyuan to the hospital, and after a long rescue, Chen Shuyuan was pushed out of the emergency room.

"Doctor, how is my grandmother?" asked Wei Yuanxi anxiously.

"The patient's fainting was caused by high blood pressure, and he has been rescued at present, but in the future, we should pay attention to maintaining emotional comfort and not let her be stimulated. The doctor took off his mask and explained.

Ji Anxin looked at the old man who was still unconscious and asked, "Then when will she wake up?"

"If it's fast, it's this afternoon, and if it's slow, you'll have to wait until evening. ”

The two asked the doctor a few more words before going to the ward to accompany Chen Shuyuan.

When he came, two servants of the family also followed, just in time to take care of him.

Wei Wangjing was going to follow, but he was old, so Wei Yuanxi didn't let him toss.

Wei Yuanxi sat in front of the hospital bed, holding Chen Shuyuan's hand, putting it to his mouth, and kissing him prayerfully.

Ji Anxin watched from the side, and felt a tightness in his chest for a while.

She turned around abruptly and ran out of the room.

In the hallway, Ji Anxin leaned against the wall, his chest heaving and panting.

She covered her mouth and sobbed uncontrollably.

Chen Shuyuan's situation was something she didn't expect, and it was something she didn't want to see.

She couldn't imagine the result of Chen Shuyuan fainting and never waking up again.

Thinking like this, her eyes became hot and moist.

"I'm sorry......" her voice buzzed, and she couldn't stop crying.

In the empty hallway, her sobs rang out in bursts.

Wei Yuanxi didn't know when he walked out of the ward, he walked up to Ji Anxin and hugged her.

"Okay, it's okay. He patted Ji Anxin's shoulder and comforted her.

Ji Anxin's face was buried in his chest, and his shoulders twitched tremblingly.

I'm sorry, she said to Wei Yuanxi silently in her heart.

The two of them hugged each other, and at this moment, they were comforting each other.

Zhou Yu heard about Chen Shuyuan fainting and being hospitalized, and rushed back from other places on the same day. Although she was very dissatisfied with Wei Yucheng's affairs, Chen Shuyuan, her mother-in-law, was good to her.

Wei Yucheng's sentencing was soon widely reported, and then the news of Chen Shuyuan's hospitalization leaked out, and Wei Yuanxi and Ji Anxin were photographed by reporters one after another with a sad face and came out of the hospital.

For a while, almost everyone who could surf the Internet was discussing the affairs of the Wei family.

Especially Ji Anxin's previous identity has fanned a lot of wind in this discussion.

In the past, netizens scolded her for not knowing the point of inspection and intervening in other people's feelings, but now she is scolded for her evil retribution and deserves it.

The atmosphere in the company has also become tense, especially in Dingzhou, where several directors have proposed to let Wei Yuanxi step down, saying that he is still young and cannot sit in this position.

Wei Yuanxi's pressure became very great, and he often couldn't sleep all night.

Someone suggested that Wei Mingting, the boss of the Wei family, should come back to take charge.

However, for so many years, Wei Mingting's connections and resources have been in other places, even if he returns to Fengcheng, I am afraid that it will not be good to send the group of veterans of the board of directors in Dingzhou.

Wei Yuanxi withstood the pressure and persevered. Although those directors wanted to push him down, they couldn't help but have a veto power on the board of directors.

In September, a report letter once again pushed Dingzhou and the Wei family to the forefront.

The reason was that someone reported to the procuratorate that Wei Yucheng had bribed the city government in order to get a project from the city government.

Wei Yucheng, who was in prison, was interviewed, and all of Dingzhou's finances began to be thoroughly investigated.

Inevitably, Wei Yuanxi was also called to talk.

At the same time, Dingzhou's stock began to fall.

They didn't dare to tell Chen Shuyuan and Wei Wangjing these news, so under Ji Anxin's arrangement, Zhou Yu accompanied the two old men to recuperate abroad.

Things got better at the end of October, when the bribery was investigated.

Wei Yucheng was sentenced to another three years on top of his previous sentence, but Dingzhou finally entered normal operation.

After all this, Wei Yuanxi was exhausted by a stomach problem and was admitted to the hospital.

When he knew the news, Ji Anxin had just finished meeting Yang Muke and Zhou Ye for the last time.

After the previous events, Yang Muke is no longer suitable for living in China.

She gave them the address and contact information of her Canadian friend and told them that she could contact her friend when she came to Canada.

After Ji Anxin met with them, he received a call from Gao Zhan.

"Okay, I'll be at the hospital right away. Ji Anxin cut off the phone and immediately drove to the hospital.

She almost ran into the ward, saw Wei Yuanxi leaning on the hospital bed, her face was pale, weak and weak, and she frowned and asked, "What is the situation?"

Gao Zhan was standing by the bed to report his work, but when he heard the words, he retreated.

Wei Yuanxi spoke at this time: "It's okay, a little stomach problem." ”

Ji Anxin couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw that he didn't take it to heart.

"Senior Assistant, you come on. ”

Gao Zhan looked at his own boss on the bed, and then at the proprietress who seemed to be very fierce, weighed it, and then said slowly: "It's not to blame the directors of Dingzhou, I know that Mr. Wei has a bad stomach, and he still pours wine vigorously." Mr. Wei couldn't shirk it, so he could only drink cup after cup, and finally drank until his stomach bleed......"

"Stomach bleeding!" Ji Anxin raised his voice when he heard those three words.

Gao Zhan nodded weakly and said, "Yes......"

Ji Anxin frowned, walked to the side of the bed, and glared at Wei Yuanxi.

"You don't want to die, I don't know if you have a bad stomach?"

In the past six months, Wei Yuan has been on a business trip, with irregular meals, often skipping meals, high work pressure, and a good stomach.

Now that he has drunk stomach bleeding again, Ji Anxin is naturally very angry.

Wei Yuanxi hooked Ji Anxin's hand and smiled: "It's not as exaggerated as he said." ”

Gao Zhan didn't look at the love of the boss and the boss's wife, and quietly slipped out of the ward.

Ji Anxin sat down on the edge of the bed and said with a straight face: "No matter whether it is exaggerated or not, you can't touch any wine with your stomach." ”

"How can you not get wet?" Wei Yuanxi said helplessly, "The group of people on the board of directors who eat people and don't spit out bones, if I don't coax them well, people will sell me when they turn around." ”

Hearing this, Ji Anxin let out a long sigh.

"I'm sorry, I can't help at all. ”

"I can't blame you for this. Wei Yuanxi touched her face, "Come here, let me hug me." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Ji Anxin.

Ji Anxin got closer and took the initiative to hug him.

"If only I could help you with some of the burden. She leaned lightly against Wei Yuanxi and whispered.

Wei Yuanxi stroked her hair, hooked her lips and said, "You hug me more like this, for me, it's enough." ”

Ji Anxin hugged him and closed his eyes.

Silly man, she thought to herself.

Neither of them informed Chen Shuyuan and Wei Wangjing about Wei Yucheng's additional three-year sentence, but Zhou Yu knew, but she chose not to say it.

After Ji Jianmin got the news, he came to Ji Anxin once.

He wanted to persuade Ji Anxin to stop, but Ji Anxin refused to meet him, and the two didn't talk.

On this day, Ji Anxin made an appointment to eat at Shangweixuan.

Halfway through, she came out of the private room, intending to go to the bathroom.

Ji Jianmin came out of nowhere and blocked her.

Ji Anxin looked at him and frowned, "Why are you here?"

"I just saw the private room you entered with Jiang Baili from Dingzhou, are you planning something again?" Ji Jianmin suppressed his voice and questioned her.

Ji Anxin tilted his head and pulled the corners of his mouth: "It's none of your business." ”

"I heard that Jiang Baili is bent on replacing Yuanxi, and has been privately contacting other shareholders recently, does he also want to pull you over?" Ji Jianmin continued.

Ji Anxin was very impatient: "I said it all, you don't care about my business." ”

"An Xin, stop it!" Ji Jianmin raised his voice, "Wei Yucheng has been sentenced to six years, what do you want?"

Ji Anxin snorted lightly and said, "What do you think?"

At this moment, she didn't know that someone had already sent a photo of her and Jiang Baili to Wei Yuanxi.
