Chapter 277: A Few Steps Away
Two days later, in the evening, on a road in the CN district of the magic capital, a convoy of three Rolls-Royces was marching gracefully. The curtains of the car in the middle were closed, making it impossible to see the passengers inside.
Wan Guohou looked out the window through the gauze curtains, "Mr. Gao, this trip to the United States was originally intended to let you have a good vacation, but it is a pity that there was an accident." ”
Gao Jin, who was sitting on the sofa chair opposite Wan Guohou, smiled bitterly - the tossing and turning in the past few days had made him lose a lot of weight, and even the top of his bare head seemed to have become sharper, "You are too polite, it's not your responsibility." He remembered Gao Xiangqi and You Jinlan who were sitting in another car, "I shouldn't have taken Xiangxiang on vacation, it was my negligence." ”
But Mr. Gao is not completely without gains. Wan Guohou turned his head and smiled slightly, "You have won the heart of a beautiful woman, and good things are coming." ”
Gao Jin touched his bald head, "Lan Lan said that she is not in a hurry, she wants to wait for Xiangxiang to get better before holding the wedding." But I'm afraid ......."
The abrupt words made the atmosphere in the carriage strange.
Wan Guohou blinked, his pale green eyes revealing curiosity. "I've been hard to ask before...... I would venture to ask, can Miss Gao's illness only be recuperated? There is no more thorough solution?"
"Absolutely. Gao Jin said with a sad face, "Bone marrow transplant." ”
"Oh, I see. Wan Guohou tapped his knee lightly, "Relatives can match each other, right?"
"I did, but it was only five points. Gao Jin whispered, "The doctor said that it is best to find 9 points." ”
"So you haven't found a bone marrow that can be successfully matched so far?"
Gao Jin let out a long breath, then nodded reluctantly.
"Mr. Gao, you are looking for bone marrow...... Is it all through official channels?"
Wan Guohou's question surprised Gao Jin, "Of course. I usually go to the bone marrow bank to find a donor, what other way can I do?"
Wan Guohou touched his beard, "I see." ”
This unexplained sentence made Gao Jin wonder for a few seconds, but Wan Guohou did not explain it, and Gao Jin had to "cough" to resolve the embarrassment. "By the way, Master Hou, Xiao Yu called me and said that the second phase of Shanjia has been completed and is ready to open, and he wants to know if you will attend the opening ceremony. ”
"Confirm your itinerary with me three days before the opening. Wan Guohou said lightly, "It's useless to be too early." ”
As he spoke, the convoy had already driven into the Tan Palace. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Wan Guohou left with his men. Gao Jin looked at the mountain of luggage in front of his house and took out his mobile phone.
"Mr. Gao, it's okay for me to clean up slowly. You Jinlan saw Gao Jin frowning and hurriedly said.
"Lan Lan, you have to have the consciousness of being a hostess, don't always worry about what these subordinates do. You take Xiangxiang in first. ”
You Jinlan helped Gao Xiangqi upstairs. After helping Gao Xiangqi cover the quilt, she turned around and prepared to leave.
"Sister Lan. Gao Xiangqi stopped You Jinlan.
"What's the matter, Xiangxiang, are you thirsty?" You Jinlan said softly, "Wait for me to boil water." ”
"It's not. Gao Xiangqi said softly, "I feel like you've been ...... the past few days." Not too happy. ”
You Jinlan looked at Gao Xiangqi in shock, the muscles on her face twitched unconsciously, and then pulled out a stiff smile, "You're sick, I can't still smile, right?"
"Sister Lan, don't be angry if I say something wrong. Gao Xiangqi said cautiously, "Is it that my father forced you to get married, which makes you feel pressure?"
You Jinlan was just about to refute, but suddenly realized that this was a very good excuse, so she calmed down, and then said with a smile: "Xiangxiang, don't worry about the matter between me and Mr. Gao, we are both adults and will handle it." ”
"I knew ......," Gao Xiangqi said annoyedly, "If I had known that my father was going to do this, I would have stopped him, he is always like this, he doesn't consider other people's feelings at all, and he is very machismo!"
"Don't say that about your dad. You Jinlan hurriedly said, "I fully understand Mr. Gao's intentions, I just think it's a bit sudden to bring it up at this time, but it doesn't mean that I'm unwilling." ”
"It's okay if you want, I'm afraid that my dad will force you, and then you don't know how to refuse. Gao Xiangqi's eyes were a little moist, "You have to understand him, he ...... Been single for many years. Don't look at him when he is usually very angry outside, but he is actually stupid in treating women. ”
You Jinlan couldn't cry or laugh, "You, have a good rest, don't keep thinking about this." She took out a mobile phone from Gao Xiangqi's backpack, "Let's play for a while and go to sleep." ”
Gao Xiangqi pouted and took the phone, "When I was in New York, my dad said he wanted to surprise me, but there has been no movement for a few days. She rolled her eyes and glanced at You Jinlan's flat belly. "Isn't it, it's you two ......"
"Xiangxiang!" You Jinlan stood up, "If you make fun of me again, I'm really going to be angry." ”
Gao Xiangqi stuck out her tongue.
You Jinlan returned to her and Gao Jin's room. Gao Jin hadn't come up yet, and the room was clean, as if the owner had never left. Obviously, during the time they were out, the servants of the house did not dare to be lazy.
"I don't know if these servants can find the place where Gao Jin hid the money. You Jinlan thought maliciously, "With Gao Jin's character, the place where the money is put will definitely not be a safe." ”
"What do you want?" a pair of strong hands wrapped around her from behind, and a hot breath sprayed into her ears.
You Jinlan was startled, she said in a panic and a little coquettishly, "You scared me." ”
"Looks like you're thinking about it pretty much. Gao Jin turned her body over and faced him, "Are you thinking of me?"
You Jinlan didn't dare to look directly at Gao Jin, "I just came out of Xiangxiang's room, I was thinking, the servants are also very diligent during this time, and the hygiene is good." ”
Gao Jin laughed, "You always worry about these little things. He lovingly stroked You Jinlan's cheek with the back of his hand, "After marrying me, you have to learn to relax, I don't want my wife to be tired." “
The word "wife" was so harsh that You Jinlan almost shivered. She reluctantly said calmly, "You're right, I listen to you." After saying that, she lowered her head and pretended to be tender like water.
"Pinch me, Lan Lan. Gao Jin hugged You Jinlan, but his movements were very gentle, which made the latter feel moved and disgusted.
"What are you doing?" she smelled the men's perfume on Gao Jin's body, and she was in a trance.
"I wonder if I'm dreaming. Gao Jin chuckled in a low voice, "I think I'm so happy now, so happy that I'm afraid it's a dream." ”
"I feel like I'm dreaming......" You Jinlan muttered to herself, "It's so unreal." Her gaze fell on a chair on either side of Gao Jin's body, on which sat her designer handbag. She suddenly remembered her son, who was anxious to pay for school, and her heart suddenly chuckled.
As if sensing her emotions, Gao Jin suddenly let go of her. He admired You Jinlan with a loving gaze for a few seconds, and then pecked her lightly on the lips, "You rest first, I'll go down to find Ah Qiao to do something." ”
Ah Qiao's surname is Rong, and he is Gao Jin's favorite confidant, Ma Zai, who usually takes care of some "special" business for Gao Jin. He was born in the famous "Xiajiao" in the magic capital, and his parents are from Hancheng, so he can speak fluent Modu dialect and understand the difficult Hancheng dialect. It's just that he rarely comes to Gao Jin's house, and You Jinlan has met him twice in total.
You Jinlan's heart moved: Gao Jin just returned to the magic capital to find his henchmen, most likely because there was something important. Thinking of this, You Jinlan made up her mind. She pretended to be tired and said, "It's a little tired, so I'll lie down for a while." ”
"Well, when it's time for lunch, I'll come up and call you and Xiangxiang. Gao Jin's eyes rolled slowly, and the affection contained in them was indescribably strange.
As soon as Gao Jin left the room, You Jinlan took off her silk slippers, and then leaned against the door to listen to the movement outside the door. When she couldn't hear the sound of going downstairs at all, she picked up her slippers, gently opened the door, and crept to the staircase. Then, she stood with bated breath against the wall, her neck stretched towards the first-floor living room. But she soon discovered that she couldn't hear what the two were saying.
You Jinlan gritted her teeth and walked down the stairs, until she reached the shadow at the corner of the stairs. It was only a few steps away from Gao Jin's favorite sofa, and she felt like she could almost hear Gao Jin's heartbeat.
"Boss, during your absence, it wasn't very peaceful. Rong Aqiao rubbed his hands and stood on the edge of the sofa in an orderly manner. He was born with a sharp beak and a lewd appearance, but he was very clever.
"What's the situation? Don't stand, sit down. Gao Jin said.
Rong Aqiao was flattered and sat down on the sofa opposite Gao Jin, but his butt only touched the side of the sofa, "The 11th of every month is the day to collect money, and it is very smooth, boss, you also know." ”
Gao Jin exhaled a breath from his nostrils, which was regarded as an affirmation.
"On the 11th of this month, I don't know if some heard the wind and knew that the boss was not in the magic capital, and then one or two began to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Allah has never been out there just the old big thing to go abroad......"
Gao Jin waved his arm and interrupted Rong Aqiao's chatter, "Who dares not to pay?"
"I handed it over or handed it over, I just found some excuses, and I didn't pay it well. Rong Aqiao realized that he was in a hurry just now, and he spoke with an accent, and quickly changed his tone at this time, because he knew that Gao Jin didn't like to hear others speak the language of the magic capital, "It's the casino and guarantee company on the street on Wunan Road." ”
Gao Jin was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly burst out laughing, "If I'm not mistaken, these two are opened by the same person. ”
"Yes, Boss, you have a good memory. Rong Aqiao said flatteringly, "It's all opened by Ji Lao Liu." ”
"This guy has always been stingy and stingy. Gao Jin said disdainfully, "He is a miser, the kind of person who loves money, and he will shed tears when he spends a little money, and he can't make any big waves." I guess I heard that I was going abroad, thinking that I was going to run away, so I didn't want to pay the money. ”
Rong Aqiao nodded, "Well, forgive him for not having the guts to do anything." ”
"Take a few people and give him a reassurance. Gao Jin smiled wryly.
"Yes, boss!" Rong Aqiao sat up straight. Then, he relaxed again, "Also, boss, the wind has been a little tight lately, and we don't dare to save money anymore. ”
"Then send it to my house first, and I'll find a way to transfer it later. Gao Jin said lazily, "Pay attention to concealment." ”
Gao Jin made a gesture, You Jinlan didn't see it clearly, but after hearing the word "money", her heartbeat began to accelerate.
"Then let's put it in the basement, I'll call someone to send it later?" asked Rong Aqiao.
"Hmm. Is there anything else?" Gao Jin stretched and leaned back on the sofa.
"What's more, Qian Dayo has been asking about necklaces everywhere recently. Rong Aqiao seemed a little dissatisfied, "This surname Qian is really annoying!"
"Necklace?" Gao Jin was stunned, "He won't still be tracking down Ye Yingjun's affairs, right?"
You Jinlan's brain exploded with a "bang", this was the first time she had heard Gao Jin say her daughter's name in person. She clutched her silk slippers tightly, feeling like she was about to suffocate, and it wasn't until the metal trim on them dug into her fingernails that she woke up.
"Did he look for you?" Gao Jin's question made You Jinlan realize that she was distracted and missed some conversations. She quickly picked herself up and continued listening with full attention.
"I looked for it once. Let's just say that all the things about Ye Yingjun were handed over to the police last year, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with us, and the compensation that should be given has also been given, and the understanding of the family has also been obtained. ”
Rong Aqiao's speech was extremely fast, but Gao Jin didn't have much trouble listening. "Qian Dayu is a smart man, why did he start checking the necklace again now? Besides, didn't the necklace have already been given to him?"
Gao Jin touched his bald head and fell into deep thought.
You Jinlan was confused. Although she clearly remembered that in the document that Dai Tian showed her, it was indeed mentioned that Ye Yingjun had a necklace on her body, but she did not describe this necklace too much. As for why the "big money" stared at this necklace and chased after it, she didn't understand it even more.
It seems that either Qian Dayo lost the necklace, or he began to suspect someone. Gao Jin took out a box of cigarettes from under the coffee table, and Rong Aqiao immediately stood up and took out a lighter to light it for him.
Gao Jin slowly puffed out two pillars of smoke from his nose, and it wasn't until the smoke slowly cleared that he said thoughtfully: "No, Qian Dayo won't have nothing to do when he is full, he must have lost the necklace." He sneered, "That necklace is not cheap, Qian Dayu must have sold it with a red eye, and then I don't know who told him, right? ”
"The outside world doesn't pay much attention to this case now, Qian Dayo is in such a hurry, it may be ......" Rong Aqiao looked at Gao Jin cautiously, "It was his boss who asked him to investigate, right?"
"Minami Ze rain. Gao Jin said nonchalantly, "Fang Xun can't control him, it must be the leaders of the hall who care about him." Nan Zeyu has the highest level in the hall, and it is said that he usually has a good relationship with Qian Dayo. I see, it was Nan Zeyu who instructed Qian Dayo to find the necklace. ”
You Jinlan was secretly surprised: Gao Jin usually behaved very respectfully to Nan Zeyu, but the tone of his speech at the moment seemed to be completely ignorant of Nan Zeyu.
"If it's really Nan Zeyu who is behind the scenes, then this thing is not terrible. Boss, am I right?" Rong Aqiao smiled.
