Chapter 68: The Future Mother-in-law Noticed?
Hearing this, Lou Shengkun's hand holding the pen suddenly stopped.
He raised his eyes and looked at Qi Zhe, "Where are the people?"
With that, he got up and went to get his clothes.
"Well, when we found her, she had just been taken to the hospital, and she was still unconscious. Qi Zhe had some difficult explanations.
"What's the situation?" Lou Shengkun stopped dressing and went to see him.
It is said that because of money, she has a son named Xu Hao, who has always been farming in the countryside. People are not very honest, and farming is also three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, and there is a lack of money to spend. Because there were no other clues, we sent someone to follow Xu Hao secretly, but I didn't expect Xu Shufen to really contact him. ”
Xu Shufen didn't know where to get a large sum of money, and when Xu Hao knew about it, people pestered Xu Shufen to ask for it. Xu Shufen is also a person who wants money and doesn't want to die, as soon as they come and go, the two of them start to move, and Xu Shufen falls into a coma on the spot. Qi Zhe picked a few key points and said them simply.
Lou Shengkun sat back, his knuckles tapping on the table.
Finally, he rubbed his chin. Thoughtfully.
"Do you know where she got that money?"
"This ...... It's not clear. Qi Zhe paused and hesitated.
"What about her son, do you know where this money came from?" Lou Shengkun nodded on the table and asked again.
Xu Hao is currently under control at the police station, and he has not been asked about the money for the time being. Qi Zhe replied, noticed Lou Shengkun's eyes, and said clearly, "I'll ask people right away." ”
With that, he walked out of the office.
Lou Shengkun leaned back in his chair, turned around in the chair, and looked at the floor-to-ceiling window.
Outside the transparent glass windows, there are office buildings one after another, each room like a matchbox, pulled out and pushed in......
With a click, Lou Shengkun lit a cigarette and took a slow puff, the smoke slowly rose, blurring Lou Shengkun's vision. After a while, it slowly dispersed, Lou Shengkun stared at a certain point in the air, and his mind gradually became clear.
Xu Shufen broke out a scandalous incident between Sheng Yinglai and Mu Jinhan many years ago, and then disappeared for no reason, and then was injured and hospitalized by Xu Hao because of money.
A lot of money, how much is this money? Can Xu Shufen give up everything and be willing to hide and be an invisible person?
Lou Shengkun took another puff of cigarette, secretly guessing that the money might be related to Xu Shufen's sudden disappearance.
It's just that this person is in a coma now, and I'm afraid he can't be in a hurry for a while.
Donghu County, one of the best villa areas in Haishi City, was introduced by a friend, and Zhou Xilan bought a set here a year ago. Her son has a family of his own, and she should also plan for her old age.
The ecology of this villa area is good, and the air is much better than that in the center of the city, so Zhou Xilan asked the maid to take care of the backyard. Set aside some fresh vegetables.
There are children at home, and Zhou Xilan specially asked the workers to make a swing.
At this moment, she sat at the bottom of the pavilion with Xiang Lanyi, looking at Mu Keke who was sitting on the swing and dangling, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"This time back to Haishi, Mu Jinhan didn't stop you?" she turned around and spoke to Lan Yi.
Xiang Lanyi was drinking tea, laughed when he heard the words, and said, "I've been fine for a long time, he just made a fuss." ”
"Besides, Coco has been staying in Chunxi and hasn't been out much, so I should take her out for a walk. Xiang Lanyi looked at Mu Keke's back and said with some regret.
"After so many years, I, as a godmother, actually saw her for the first time. Zhou Xilan shook her head and said helplessly.
"There will be opportunities in the future. Xiang Lanyi lifted his eyes to look at her.
"What, are you going to stay in Haishi?" Zhou Xilan looked at her with some surprise when she heard this.
Xiang Lanyi hummed and nodded, "After all, Haishi is where I grew up, although I haven't been here for more than twenty years, I still feel more comfortable here." ”
"Chunxi Town is not my hometown after all......"
Zhou Xilan lowered her head. The emotions on his face were inexplicable.
"What, I'm not welcome?" Xiang Lanyi asked with an eyebrow when she saw that her face was not good.
"What to say. Zhou Xilan glared at her and continued, "Our good sister for so many years, I can't ask for you to come back." ”
As she spoke, she took a sip of tea from her cup.
When he lowered his head to drink tea, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.
"Mom......" Mu Keke suddenly ran over from the swing, shouting.
"Aunt Zhou. When she got closer, she nodded to Zhou Xilan again.
"Look at you, you don't look like a girl at all. Xiang Lanyi said with some disgust, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.
Mu Keke squatted down, tilted his head and smiled at Lan Yi.
"It's the first time people sit on the swing, and they're happy. ”
Zhou Xilan listened, opened her mouth in some surprise, and said, "Coco didn't play when she was a child?"
Speaking of this, Mu Coco was suddenly silenced.
Xiang Lanyi looked at Zhou Xilan and explained, "She was not in good health when she was a child, and I didn't let her play with her father. ”
Zhou Xilan nodded, "In this case, you can stay at your aunt's house for a few more days, and you can play with this swing." ”
When Mu Keke heard this, he didn't answer, but looked at Lan Yi.
"Thank you, Auntie. Xiang Lanyi clapped her hand.
"Thank you, Auntie. Mu Keke turned his head and thanked Zhou Xilan.
Zhou Xilan laughed twice, but felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
The relationship between this mother and daughter is a little strange.
"You go somewhere else to play first, I still have something to talk about with your Aunt Zhou. ”
"Okay, then I won't bother you. ”
Mu Keke walked away and told Lan Yicai about the previous incident.
"How's that going?" she asked.
Zhou Xilan shook her head, "Something happened at her house, so she shouldn't be available for the time being." ”
"Well, I'll go and see her secretly. Xiang Lanyi didn't give up, but was a little anxious.
"I'm afraid it's not good. Zhou Xilan's face was even worse.
"Let me tell you honestly, what about this Qin Yan, she is Lou Shengkun's personal secretary. She was a little embarrassed.
"......" Xiang Lanyi listened, and his mind was in a trance for a while.
How did this have anything to do with that family again?
Zhou Xilan looked at her face, and she couldn't bear it, "I know you don't want to contact them anymore, but if you want to meet her, we can block her outside the company." ”
"Look at what I said, it's not blocked, just take a look at it from a distance, okay?"
"Heelan. Xiang Lanyi suddenly interrupted her, "You can push her WeChat to me." ”
"You don't want to come directly to the door, do you?" asked Zhou Xilan in surprise.
Xiang Lanyi shook her head and said, "I just want to see and learn about her life." ”
"Nothing to see. This girl's circle of friends is closed to me, and her profile picture is not her photo. Speaking of this, Zhou Xilan sighed, "I knew that I should have secretly taken a photo." ”
"The more I think about it, the more panicked I feel, if she is really, really my ......" Xiang Lanyi was a little excited when she thought of that possibility.
"Lan Yi, you are calm and calm. Zhou Xilan pressed her shoulder and said comfortingly.
"Maybe not, there are many strangers in this world who look alike. In short, don't get your hopes up too much, otherwise the result will not be what you expected, and the disappointment will be even greater. ”
"How can I not have hope? Xilan, I've been looking for more than 20 years, do you know how I got here after so many years? Every time they give me hope, and the next second they say no, do you know that desperate mood?" Xiang Lanyi clutched his chest, his voice was hoarse.
Zhou Xilan couldn't see her like this, she was also a vivid and bright woman before, but she didn't expect to be hit like this by the events of the year.
"I understand, I understand, don't worry, I will do everything I can to help you. She got up and hugged Xiang Lanyi's shoulders to soothe.
Xiang Lanyi slowed down, and when she was not so excited, she continued to discuss with Zhou Xilan what to do.
Mu Keke hid behind a tree and looked at the pavilion.
His hand grasped the body of the tree, pushing harder and harder.
Why, why are you still not satisfied?
She hated, and the anger in her eyes grew stronger.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Sheng Yinglai walked into the group building with bodyguards.
The front desk saw her from a distance and hurriedly greeted her.
"Mrs. Chairman, you are here. ”
Sheng Yinglai hummed and asked her, "Is Sheng Kun here?"
"Mr. Kun should be in a meeting at this time, do you want me to inform the above?"
"No, I don't. Sheng Yinglai waved his hand and refused, "You are busy with yours, I'll go by myself." ”
With that, she walked to the elevator by herself.
The front desk hurriedly walked a few steps and helped Sheng Ying press the elevator.
Sheng Yinglai was wearing sunglasses, glanced at the front desk through the mirror, the corners of his mouth lifted lightly, and nodded.
The front desk smiled, bowed back.
When people entered the elevator, the front desk hurriedly returned to the workstation and called the secretariat above.
Chu Jiaqi was the only one in the secretariat, and she received a call from the front desk at this time.
"Okay, no problem, leave it to me. After she replied, she walked to the elevator and waited for someone.
Looking at the elevator mirror, she straightened her somewhat wrinkled waist.
With a "ding", the elevator opened.
Sheng Yinglai walked out, followed by a bodyguard in a black suit.
"Aunt Sheng. Chu Jiaqi stepped forward to greet enthusiastically.
Sheng Yinglai took off his sunglasses, stretched them back, and the bodyguard tacitly accepted them.
"It's Jiaqi. She agreed, and said with concern, "How is the work?" Sheng Kun didn't embarrass you. ”
"How could it be. Brother Xiaolou is very good to me. Chu Jiaqi shook her head, although she doesn't want to see this person now, she still has the attitude she should have, and she won't say bad things about people out of thin air.
"He's in the conference room right now, maybe half an hour left, or you might just wait in his office. She said as she led Sheng Ying forward.
Sheng Ying looked around, and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you see Secretary Qin?"
Hearing this, Chu Jiaqi stopped.
She looked back at Sheng Yinglai and replied, "She resigned, don't you know?"
Sheng Yinglai shook his head. Apparently not knowing.
"When?" she didn't hear a word.
"It's been almost half a month. Chu Jiaqi pushed open the office door and pointed inside.
Sheng Yinglai took the bag and walked in.
She sat down on the sofa, and Chu Jiaqi walked to the tea area and made her a cup of tea.
"Aunt Sheng, drink tea. She pushed the cup in front of Sheng Yinglai.
"Thank you. Sheng Yinglai nodded slightly.
"If it's okay, I'll go out first?"
"Sit down and talk to Auntie for a while. Sheng Yinglai smiled and pointed to the sofa opposite.
Chu Jiaqi nodded and sat down opposite her.
"Jiaqi, do you know why Secretary Qin resigned?" She values Qin Yan very much, and she hasn't heard anything wrong with her after working for a year. In the past, there would always be some rumors in her ears, either she was dressed scantily today, or she would seduce her son tomorrow, and none of them were serious.
Qin Yan also looks at her duty, she is a down-to-earth person, she will not fix those empty heads, she hopes in her heart that Qin Yan can continue to work.
Knowing the moment Qin Yan resigned, she was a little regretful.
Chu Jiaqi paused, and said lightly, "I don't know much about it, it seems to be a private matter, and I haven't listened to what she said." ”
"That's it......" Sheng Yinglai nodded, remembering that she had asked her if she could contact Sheng Kun upstairs before, and she didn't hear her resign at that time.
Although Chu Jiaqi and Qin Yan are not the ones with the best relationship, they have received her help, and she herself knows how to say a lot of mistakes, so she doesn't plan to talk too much at this time.
"Have you seen her lately?"
Chu Jiaqi shook her head, since Qin Yan left, she had almost no contact with her, and the two had only communicated at work, and without this frenulum, there was no need to contact.
"Aunt Sheng, why don't you ask Brother Xiaolou? They have known each other for a longer time than me, maybe he knows. Chu Jiaqi pointed out the door and suggested.
"Okay, then I won't bother you, you go and get busy with you. Sheng Yinglai nodded and responded.
As he spoke, the man came.
"Look, say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here. Chu Jiaqi got up and pointed to Lou Shengkun who pushed the door in.
Lou Shengkun didn't seem to expect that there was someone in this room, so he opened his mouth in surprise.
Sheng Yinglai turned sideways. Look at him through the couch.
Chu Jiaqi passed by him and walked out of the office.
"Why are you here?" Lou Shengkun took a few steps inside, pulling his tie, a little irritable.
I just approved the people of the second group in the conference room, and I really can't see the plan handed in, so he got angry, and it hasn't disappeared yet.
Picking up the glass of water on the table, he gurgled several sips.
Sheng Yinglai twisted his body to look at him, and waited for him to finish drinking water before he spoke, "Why did Secretary Qin leave his job?"
Lou Shengkun's hand holding the cup suddenly tightened, and he turned his back to Sheng Yinglai. Quietly asked, "If you don't recuperate at home, you will ask about this when you come to the company?"
"Of course not. Sheng Yinglai denied it, "I just think it's weird." ”
"You said she did a good job, why did she suddenly leave her job?" Sheng Ying looked at him and suddenly frowned, "Did you embarrass her and stumble on her?"
"Where's that, am I that kind of person?" Lou Shengkun laughed, a little helpless.
He couldn't say that Qin Yan's resignation really had something to do with him, so he had to deal with it casually.
"Can't you keep more people?" Sheng Yinglai was a little angry, "I don't want to think about how uneasy the secretaries you were looking for before were, and now Secretary Qin is finally able to let people go like this?"
"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, people insist on leaving, can you stay?" Lou Shengkun walked back to his chair and said easily.
"Why can't you keep it? Salary increase, promotion, what can't keep people?" Sheng Yinglai twisted his body, not angry.
Lou Shengkun leaned back in the chair, crossed his fingers and put it in front of his abdomen, raised his eyebrows and looked at Sheng Yinglai, and asked casually, "Mom." You like Secretary Qin so much?"
"Why don't you like it?" Sheng Yinglai raised his voice and counted them one by one with his fingers, "Let's just talk about this look, elegant and gentle, and his face is white and pure, he is very friendly at first glance, not aggressive, and he smiles very sweetly, unlike the few who used to be smeared with grease and powder." ”
Hearing her say this, Lou Shengkun touched his nose weakly, and said in his heart that this one would be more seductive than the previous ones.
"Speaking of this work attitude and ability, you have more say than me. In short, all the good things that came to me were there. Sheng Yinglai continued.
Lou Shengkun nodded, she is indeed worthy of recognition in this regard.
"What about the others, what do you think of the other aspects?" Lou Shengkun asked casually.
"What else?" Sheng Yinglai wondered.
"Work aside, the way you look at a woman. Lou Shengkun frowned, moved his five fingers, and said euphemistically.
"This ......" Sheng Yinglai thought about it seriously, "I don't know what kind of person she is in private, it's hard to say, it's hard to say." Sheng Yinglai waved his hand and did not comment.
Lou Shengkun originally wanted to test the temptation, but when he heard her say this, his interest suddenly decreased greatly.
Sheng Ying came to see him with a depressed expression, and insisted on asking, "Secretary Qin really can't come back?"
She thought that maybe she could bring someone back.
"Not really. Lou Shengkun shook his head, but muttered in his heart that he could come back, but it was not Secretary Qin, but another identity.
"What are you muttering?" Sheng Yinglai noticed that his mouth was moving, and asked curiously.
Lou Shengkun pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and Wu Zi picked up the document and began to sign, "It's nothing, my teeth hurt a little." ”
Sheng Yinglai squinted at him, suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip, and said, "Are you still in touch with Mu Jinhan?"
The man's hand signing paused, then continued writing. The face is not shocked.
"No, I'm going to change to another designer. ”
Sheng Yinglai rubbed her temples, feeling her eyebrows jump suddenly, she endured it, "Put me this lie?"
Lou Shengkun stopped abruptly and raised his eyes to look at her, his gaze was deep.
"Why bother asking when you know it's a lie?"
"You, you kid......" Sheng Yinglai pointed at him and thumped his chest.
"Is Mu Jinhan looking for you again?" Lou Shengkun put down his pen and asked.
Sheng Yinglai was stunned for a few seconds, avoiding his gaze, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
"Otherwise, how would you know that I went to him again?" Lou Shengkun raised his eyebrows. "It's not his complaint, is there someone else?"
"In short, whether he sued or not, you can't find him for this cooperation. "Sheng Yinglai is very tough.
"If you don't have enough reason to convince me, I won't say yes. Lou Shengkun didn't let go.
"He's going to kill us!"
"Why?" Lou Shengkun desperately wanted to know the answer.
Sheng Yinglai held the armrest of the sofa and hesitated, she closed her eyes, feeling that the world was spinning in front of her, she let out a long sigh and confided, "Mom did something wrong back then, which hurt the hearts of your Uncle Mu and Aunt Xiang, and they still hold a grudge against them, do you think if you cooperate with Mu Jinhan, will he not make trouble?"
She raised her eyes, pleading in her eyes.
"Lou Sheng is the hard work of me and your father in this life, and now it is also your hard work, can you bear to watch it being tossed by outsiders?"
"It's not a certain thing, Mu Jinhan ......" Lou Shengkun was entangled, to be honest, with the few times he and Mu Jinhan had only met a few times, he could detect that Mu Jinhan disdained to use the insidious set.
"If you don't cut it off in advance, it will be too late. Sheng Yinglai raised his voice.
She got up from the sofa and walked to Lou Shengkun.
"Son, just beg you, don't entangle with him anymore, okay?" Sheng Yinglai held his shoulder, never in such a pleading tone.
Lou Shengkun glanced at her, his elbows propped up on the smooth tabletop, and he felt as if his head had been blown open.
"Mom, let me think again, okay?"
Sheng Ying came to see him for a long time, and smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, "I know you want to know what happened back then, but it's been so many years, and it's our generation's business, I don't want you to get involved." ”
"Can't you really tell me?"
Sheng Yinglai shook his head.
"Okay. Lou Shengkun sighed.
"If you don't plan to tell me about this, then you shouldn't hide anything else, right?" Lou Shengkun remembered Zhou Zixiong's guess and chose to ask at this time.
"You say. Sheng Yinglai nodded affirmatively.
Lou Shengkun paused and said, "Do you have any holiday with Aunt Lan?"
"Why do you ask that?" Sheng Yinglai looked surprised, "Your Aunt Lan and I have always had a good relationship, and we haven't quarreled with each other much, so there is no holiday." ”
"Not at all?" Lou Shengkun insisted.
Sheng Yinglai shook his head, very sure.
Lou Shengkun lowered his head and frowned puzzled, "This is strange, I also suspect that your injury this time may have something to do with her." ”
Sheng Yinglai was even more surprised this time. She was about to ask for clarification, but someone suddenly pushed the door open.
"Mr. Kun, there is an emergency. Qi Zhe saw Sheng Ying coming, nodded politely, and then spoke to Lou Sheng Kun with some embarrassment.
Normally, Qi Zhe would not push the door in without saying hello, unless it was something very urgent.
Qi Zhe stood at the door, his face sweating with anxiety.
Lou Shengkun got up and patted Sheng Yinglai on the shoulder.
"Mom, you wait first, I'll talk to you later. With that, he strode to the door.
Sheng Ying watched the two of them go out in a hurry. Although I am confused, I can understand it.
It's just that, thinking of what he said about doubting Zhou Xilan, Sheng Yinglai was quite puzzled.
Could it be that he was injured, was it Zhou Xilan's ghost?
It's not right to think about it, she has such a good relationship with Zhou Xilan, it's impossible.
Just as I was thinking about it, the phone on the desktop rang.
She picked it up and saw the huge word "baby" on the screen.
She also accidentally saw it in the hospital last time, and later her son admitted that he was indeed talking about a girlfriend.
Sheng Yinglai stared at the phone for a few seconds, and subconsciously clicked to answer.
"Dear Mr. Lou. What do you want to eat at night? I'll make it for you. ”
Sheng Yinglai suddenly thought that he had heard it wrong, took down his phone and looked at the screen again, and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
This, is Secretary Qin's voice?
Gao Pan Qin Yanlou Sheng Kun
