071 Avoiding suspicion
Jiang Mingzhu took Mrs. Jiang's arm and followed the Xue family into the courtyard, and without waiting for Mrs. Jiang to say anything for her, Jiang Mingzhu let go of her hand, took a step forward, and bent down.
"Uncle Xue, Aunt Xue, I'm sorry. β
Mrs. Jiang's fingers moved, looking at Jiang Mingzhu's appearance of bending over and bowing her head, she wanted to step forward, but she held back.
Jiang Mingrui had already explained before he came, and let Jiang Mingzhu do the apology in person, if the Xue family said anything to blame, they would have to endure it, and since they decided to take this trip, they would put their posture to the lowest.
Mrs. Xue straightened Jiang Mingzhu's body.
"It's all right, it's all over. β
They already knew about Old Man Xue.
When Jiang Mingzhu went to Jiangxia at that juncture, Xue Xingzhi's parents thought it was related to the old man's affairs.
After all, children are always like this, and when they get into trouble, the first thing they do is to find a safe place to hide.
Besides, the words that the old man said before he died were not confused.
They believe in Chen Fangyuan, but they also believe that Jiang Mingzhu's handful should also be an unintentional mistake.
Otherwise, the old man would not have said those words on his deathbed.
Chen Fangyuan acted aggressively, and they also linked this incident to the death of the old man.
It wasn't until some time ago that Xue Xingzhi showed them the full video, and they understood.
There is no causal relationship between these two things, and it can even be said that the causal relationship is reversed.
In the complete video, before Jiang Mingzhu pushed the old man, he also recorded what Chen Fangyuan said.
"Jiang Mingzhu, even if Brother Xingzhi marries you, he will never like you. You can marry him only because your surname is Jiang. Everyone who is good to you is also because your surname is Jiang, if you are not Jiang Mingzhu, you are nothing. β
To Mrs. Xue, these words were a little naΓ―ve.
But Jiang Mingzhu, who was only nineteen years old at the time, was at the age of pursuing pure love, so he naturally couldn't listen to this.
This is why the old man pulled with her later, and the two brothers of the Xue family, who heard the movement in the room, came out with their voices, Jiang Mingzhu was in a hurry to leave, so he pushed the old man in a hurry.
Mrs. Xue and Xue Li'an always thought that Chen Fangyuan asked people to hit Jiang Mingzhu because of the old man's business.
But if you think about it carefully, the relationship between the old man and Chen Fangyuan is actually average.
The old man prefers Jiang Mingzhu, everyone can see it. When he called Jiang Mingzhu, he was always called by his granddaughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, and took her out to eat with old friends, but my granddaughter-in-law was longer and my granddaughter-in-law was shorter, Jiang Mingzhu was eccentric, and the old man would rather take her out than Xue Xingzhi or Xue Rong. Chen Fangyuan has never been.
Everyone in the family called Chen Fangyuan's nickname Yuanyuan, but the old man never called her, they all called her Fang Yuan, unlike other people.
When his idol teased Jiang Mingzhu, he also liked to call her Mingzhu Jiang Mingzhu, Xue Rong's two short and one long shouting methods were learned from the old man.
Now that I think about it, Chen Fangyuan is wishful thinking for the old man to help that kind of thing.
After they understood these things, it would be a little terrifying to think about the things Chen Fangyuan had done.
Mrs. Xue's attitude, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Only then did she speak, "It's all because I, the mother, didn't teach me well, and I went back and asked her to kowtow to the old man to apologize." β
When Mrs. Xue helped Jiang Mingzhu up, she took her hand.
She sighed and lowered her head to look at Jiang Mingzhu's slender wrist.
"Let Xingzhi go with you, the children are all thin. β
When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she didn't object, "In the final analysis, this matter is our Mingzhu's fault, if you have any requirements, we can do it, we will do our best." β
Before Mrs. Xue understood what Mrs. Jiang meant, Mrs. Jiang turned to Xue Li'an again and asked him.
"I've heard that Xingzhi's company has been in trouble lately. β
Xue Li'an nodded, pun intended, "Yes, raising tigers is a problem." β
"If there's anything useful, just ask. β
Xue Li'an and Mrs. Xue glanced at each other, "I thanked Xingzhi first." However, the company's affairs, Xingzhi does not let us interfere, Xue Rong has been helping him recently, I think this is also good, after some hardships, the family is closer than before. β
Xue Shi's specific things, a few of them, didn't know the specific things, chatted for a while, and the topic turned to Jiang Mingzhu.
"Mingzhu is also at work now?"
Jiang Mingzhu smiled embarrassedly, "I can't do it, but I can't be an elite, and I'm planning to change jobs." β
Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "Not everyone has to be an elite, and we are also elites in other places. β
Jiang Mingzhu had a smile on his face and didn't speak.
But Mrs. Jiang took over, "Octavia is making a new investment, and he told me that Mingzhu doesn't like to work 9 to 5 in the office, and his new investment project may be suitable for her." β
Jiang Mingzhu was stunned, she knew that Jiang Mingzhu was doing a new investment project, and she heard Meng Xiaochuan mention a few words.
But how did it suit her?
"Mom, why didn't I know?"
Mrs. Jiang said, "Isn't it not yet done, and your brother didn't tell you." β
Xue Rong made a simple constant temperature room in the backyard, in which a lot of precious flowers were raised.
Jiang Mingzhu has no interest in this aspect and has never been here before.
She suddenly remembered that when she was in Jiangxia before, she had heard someone say that there was a fool in Binhai who spent eight million to buy a flower.
It should be said that it is Xue Rong.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh.
Mrs. Jiang glanced at her, "What are you laughing at?"
As soon as Jiang Mingzhu said this, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help laughing, and Mrs. Xue couldn't help laughing.
"Isn't it? β
Mrs. Jiang shook her head, "When Xue Rong hears it, he must say that you don't understand elegance." β
Jiang Mingzhu said in his heart, Xue Rong is full of fucking you every day, he knows the elegance of a hammer.
But in front of Mrs. Xue, she didn't say anything, just owed, "Yes, Mom, you're right, I don't even recognize these flowers." β
Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Mingzhu recognized flowers in the yard, and Xue Rong played with her mobile phone in the living room.
The game goes in and out, and goes backwards.
He wanted to get up and leave a few times, but he also knew in his heart Xue Xingzhi's purpose for leaving him behind.
His face was full of impatience, and he didn't even give Chen Fangyuan and Peng Tianliang a look.
Seeing him like this, Chen Fangyuan couldn't help but say.
"Xue Rong, are you in trouble? If you have something, you are busy with your going, just let us stay by ourselves, do I still need you to accompany me." β
Chen Fangyuan of the Xue family is indeed familiar.
Xue Rong's eyes moved away from the phone and fell on the two of them again.
"Then how can it be done, you are guests anyway, where is there any reason to leave guests alone. β
Peng Tianliang looked at him and said, "You are like this, but you don't take the guests seriously." β
Xue Rong snorted, "What kind of guest are you, did you invite you to come?" β
He rolled his eyes as he spoke, and asked Chen Fangyuan again, "What are you doing here? Aren't you going to get married? Why are you still running around?"
Chen Fangyuan smiled and took out a few invitations from the bag he was carrying, "We are here to deliver invitations, I have lived in the Xue family for so long, and I have inherited the grace of nurturing, so I have to come with Tianliang in person this time." β
Xue Rong put his feet down, picked up the invitation card, looked at it, and said casually.
"On Friday, my parents should be able to go, my brother and I may not be able to go. β
He leaned back on the sofa, looked at the two of them and said, "Thanks to the blessing of the first company and Manager Fang, we have been busy lately." β
Chen Fangyuan did not feel uncomfortable at all.
"I didn't take care of the company's affairs at dawn, and I don't understand it anymore. β
Xue Rong's eyes rolled, and he glanced at Peng Tianliang, who was in a wheelchair, and asked.
"Can you do it?"
Peng Tianliang's face changed, his eyes became fierce, and the scar on his face looked even more terrifying.
Xue Rong didn't seem to realize what he said at all, and then said, "Your father's company, why did you let an outsider get involved, I have seen your father, and he is rich."
You may not believe it when you say it, I am a person who can look at the face, I think he may be going bankrupt in the near future, you still have to persuade him. β
Chen Fangyuan's hand stroked Peng Tianliang's back twice, and said with a smile, "Xue Rong, don't bluff people, when will you look at your face, why don't I know?"
Xue Rong snorted indifferently, "If you don't believe it, forget it, don't blame me for not reminding you." β
After he finished speaking, he turned over on the sofa, turned sideways to face them, and clicked on the game again, without the meaning of accompanying the guests as he said.
β¦β¦
Jiang Mingzhu hugged the potted flowers, followed Xue Li'an and his wife and Mrs. Jiang back to the living room.
As soon as they came in, Xue Rong immediately threw down his phone.
"Aunt Jiang, have you finished reading?"
Mrs. Jiang nodded, "After reading it, I didn't expect you to take care of these flowers so carefully, I look at them quite well." β
Jiang Mingzhu put the pot of dwarf phalaenopsis in his arms on the ground, and without waiting for Xue Rong to ask, Jiang Mingzhu said.
"My mother has taken a fancy to this, are you reluctant to give it up?"
Xue Rong nodded hurriedly, "Willing to give up, what do I have to do with Mingzhu, Aunt Jiang, you just need to open your mouth, don't talk about this pot, in my greenhouse, you can pick whatever you want, and I will give you as many pots as you want." β
Mrs. Jiang patted him, "What you said, then I still have the light of the pearl." β
Seeing that Jiang Mingzhu didn't refute his words, Xue Rong smiled stupidly.
"Don't get naked, don't get naked, it's my filial piety to Aunt Jiang. β
The flowers were not picked by Mrs. Jiang, but by Jiang Mingzhu.
This phalaenopsis orchid is not a precious variety, it should be the most worthless pot in Xue Rong's constant temperature room.
But right now, it's blooming just right, and the purple flowers are very beautiful to look at.
Mrs. Xue asked Jiang Mingzhu to pick it, and she picked this pot.
Mrs. Jiang saw that she had picked a pot that was worthless, so she didn't stop it.
Mrs. Xue interrupted Xue Rong's silly music, "Okay, Mingrui and your brother are about them, tell them to eat, and I'll take Mingzhu to wash his hands." β
Chen Fangyuan on the side also took two steps forward, "I also want to wash my hands, I'll take Mingzhu with me." β
Mrs. Jiang's face turned cold, and Mrs. Xue smiled, "There are many bathrooms, don't wash your hands and line up." β
When Chen Fangyuan heard this, he didn't insist, "Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen and wash it, and by the way, see what is delicious today." β
Jiang Mingzhu is also familiar with the Xue family, but in fact, he doesn't need Mrs. Xue to accompany him.
Mrs. Xue led her to the bathroom, and Jiang Mingzhu rubbed her hands under the faucet.
Mrs. Xue sighed, "Mingzhu, Yuanyuan came today, and Aunt Xue didn't expect that she was going to get married, and she would ...... in the future Anyway, there is no future. β
Jiang Mingzhu smiled in the mirror, "Aunt Xue, don't worry, I understand." β
As long as Chen Fangyuan didn't do anything too excessive today, she didn't want to make anything happen, after all, she still came to apologize today.
Mrs. Xue and Jiang Mingzhu came out of the bathroom and returned to the restaurant.
Xue Xingzhi and Jiang Mingrui were also invited out by Xue Rong.
Chen Fangyuan pushed Peng Tianliang's wheelchair, asked Xue Rong to take the handle, and helped him sit down at the table.
Xue Rong endured it again and again before he didn't laugh out loud, Peng Tianliang was too funny, like half a mummy, and he had to sit at a table with everyone......
This cheek is also thick enough.
Xue Rong didn't want everyone to have a meal and was unstable, so he didn't make any small moves, otherwise, he would definitely let this Peng Tianliang taste what pain is.
When Peng Tianliang sat down, as soon as she looked up, she saw Mrs. Xue holding Jiang Mingzhu and sitting down next to her.
"Mingzhu, you sit with me. β
Jiang Mingzhu smiled and said hello.
Mrs. Xue glanced at Chen Fangyuan again, "Yuanyuan, he ...... at dawn."
Chen Fangyuan said: "It's okay, I'm here." β
Mrs. Xue nodded and asked everyone to sit down.
Sitting at the same table with Chen Fangyuan to eat, Mrs. Jiang really had a good face.
Jiang Mingzhu's hand quietly pulled her clothes under the table, and Mrs. Jiang's face eased, but she still didn't speak.
The atmosphere was dreary again.
Xue Rongzhi asked as if unintentionally, "Brother, what are you talking about in the study, you have been talking for so long." β
Xue Rong just felt that everyone didn't speak, the atmosphere was a little dull, he just had nothing to say, and he didn't think that Xue Xingzhi could reply to him.
"Business, go back to the company. β
Xue Rong was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Okay." β
Xue Rong was suspicious in his heart, Xue Xingzhi and Jiang Mingrui had no business dealings, where was there anything to talk about?
Everyone has their own agenda.
Jiang Mingzhu only lowered her head and ate silently, and Mrs. Xue sandwiched dishes for her several times.
"I specially asked my aunt to make some of your favorite food, Mingzhu, you eat more. β
Jiang Mingzhu raised his head and said thank you, then lowered his head to fight with the dishes in the bowl.
Today's dish was indeed prepared for Jiang Mingzhu, Jiang Mingrui didn't eat much, but he was still satisfied with his face.
Chen Fangyuan didn't eat much, only fed Peng Tianliang a few bites, and then talked about her wedding to Peng Tianliang.
Xue Li'an and Mrs. Xue will definitely go, but as for Xue Xingzhi and Xue Rong, it's hard to say.
Chen Fangyuan's purpose for coming today seems to be really just to invite the Xue family to her wedding.
"I used to do a lot of wrong things, no matter what, you are in my heart, you are my family. At my wedding, I still want to be accompanied by my family. β
She said, with tears in her eyes, "Brother Xingzhi, can you and Xue Rong come then?"
"No, you can't. β
Xue Xingzhi only said two words, no, and didn't even say why he couldn't.
Peng Tianliang looked at him and said, "Is it the wrong time? If that's the case, we can move the wedding to Saturday or Sunday." β
The faces of several members of the Xue family changed, and Chen Fangyuan's face also changed.
Obviously, Peng Tianliang's idea was not discussed with her.
Xue Xingzhi glanced at Peng Tianliang, "No, I won't go to your wedding." β
Xue Rong opened his mouth, and just wanted to speak, Xue Xingzhi glanced at him, "Xue Rong won't go either." β
Okay, he'll have to refuse.
was rejected one after another, Peng Tianliang was not angry, but smiled and said.
"I thought that Brother Xue regarded Fang Yuan as a younger sister, this sister got married, and he had to show up as an elder brother. β
Xue Xing knew: "Your father's recent mark is very problematic, I am afraid that our Xue family will be involved, so I naturally have to avoid suspicion." β
Peng Tianliang looked stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Mrs. Xue interrupted them, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after eating." β
Chen Fangyuan quickly took over, "Yes, let's eat first, dawn, after eating, let's make it clear to Brother Xingzhi, what your father's company does, it has nothing to do with us, doesn't it?"
Chen Fangyuan's wedding had nothing to do with the Jiang family, no one in the Jiang family spoke, and they didn't even look at Chen Fangyuan.
Jiang Mingzhu sneered even more in his heart, this Chen Fangyuan was also strange, mentioning this matter in front of them at the dinner table.
The Jiang family was ready to leave after eating, if Chen Fangyuan was not there, Mrs. Jiang would probably stay for a while, and now she just wanted to leave quickly.
Xue Rong diligently moved the two pots of flowers to Jiang Mingrui's car, "Aunt Jiang, don't you really need me to send them over?"
Jiang Mingrui closed the trunk door and pushed Xue Rong back.
"Okay, Xue Rong, you talk a lot, how can you be a ...... in the future?"
Xue Rong just wanted to keep up with the car, and didn't listen carefully, "What should it be? It doesn't matter what it is, this orchid is a little precious, you have to be careful, I'm not afraid that Aunt Jiang will be inexperienced." β
Jiang Mingzhu said helplessly, "Okay, if it really doesn't work, I'll call you again, you still have guests at home today, what's the matter if you go with us." β
Xue Rong nodded again and again, "Then you must call me." β
Jiang Mingzhu helped Mrs. Jiang get into the car and waved her hand.
On the way back, Jiang Mingrui said casually, "Xue Rong's flower, I think it's also what Aunt Xue and they mean." β
Mrs. Jiang sighed, "That's it, people are sincere, and we are still worried about something." β
"Brother, what were you going to say to Xue Rong just now, what is he going to be? He won't be messing around outside, making people's stomachs bigger, and becoming a father, right?"
Jiang Mingrui snorted, "Where do you want to go, it's their company's business, Xue Xingzhi seems to be arranging a proper position for him." β
Jiang Mingzhu could hardly imagine that Xue Rong was going to embark on a career from now on.
Jiang Mingrui didn't want to say much about other people's companies, remembered that Yu Zhou was looking for him, and asked her.
"Yu Zhou sent me a message and asked me to ask you what you were looking for her, and he left you a message and you didn't reply. β
Jiang Mingzhu sighed, "I forgot, this is the problem of jet lag, I'll give him back." β
Jiang Mingrui glanced back at her: "You have something to do with him?"
Jiang Mingzhu nodded, "Ask him about the car." β
Jiang Mingrui frowned, "What's wrong with the car?" If it's a matter of safety performance, it's a big deal.
The car was given to Meng Xiaochuan by Jiang Mingzhu, and naturally there could be no fault in terms of safety.
