Cheng Xunxun glanced at it, and couldn't help but gasp, she didn't expect Jiang Ruhui to be so ruthless in her mouth, thinking that this mouth still contained a trace of resentment in her heart. It is not easy to determine what Jiang Ruhui's current mental state is. I'm afraid it's not as normal as it used to be.

At Zhou Jiayu's request, the doctor personally cleaned Cheng Xunxun's wound.

Zhou Jiayu sat aside. His eyes kept staring at Cheng Xunxun's neck. In the middle of the night, medical staff came in to report Jiang Ruhui's current situation.

"I remember the last time I came. My mother's mood is quite stable, why is it getting worse and worse? You have to give me a reasonable explanation, when the patient comes to you, is he only responsible for the care, not the treatment?"

The doctor just finished treating Cheng Xunxun's wound, stood up straight, and said helplessly: "When Mrs. Zhou was sent in, she was already a serious patient, and in the early stage of a mentally ill patient, there was still the possibility of being cured, but Mrs. Zhou's situation. All I can say is try to make her emotionally unstable and not hurtful. ”

"I said that when you visit a patient, try not to bring someone who will irritate the patient, your mother's situation is aggressive. You are not unaware of this. This must be Miss Cheng Xunxun that your mother has been talking about, right?"

Zhou Jiayu didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

The doctor shook his head with a smile and said, "So, we don't know about your mother's grievances with this young lady, you should know very well." You put them in the same room. Naturally, it is quite a dangerous thing, but this time it is fortunate that we came in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. A crazy person can do everything, if something goes wrong with Miss Cheng Xunxun, we can't afford it. ”

Zhou Jiayu snorted and said, "So, this is equivalent to saying that my mother's situation has not changed all along, is that so?"

The expression on the doctor's face froze, and he laughed dryly, and before he could speak, Zhou Jiayu turned cold and asked, "Then what's the use of asking you as a doctor?" We handed people over to you, not just for you to watch, but in the hope that one day she can recover, and we can take her home, is it because I misunderstood?"

"I heard that this is still the best psychiatric hospital in Luancheng, and there are the best psychiatric doctors, is it all a lie?"

The atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff, the doctor kept a smile on his face, Zhou Jiayu stood up, became a little aggressive, pointed to Cheng Xunxun's wound, and said: "Doctor Liang, as the most famous doctor in the psychiatric department, what you just said is blaming us for not bringing Xunxun here, so she was bitten by herself, is that so?"

Doctor Liang glanced at him, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Young Master Zhou, don't be so excited. ”

Zhou Jiayu waved his hand away violently and said, "I hope you have some medical virtues, I will come to visit my mother every month, and I hope her mental condition will not be worse than before." ”

Dr. Liang's hand was suspended in the air, the expression on his face was a little embarrassed, he glanced at Zhou Jiayu, looked sideways at his palm, hooked the corner of his lips, withdrew his hand, nodded, and said, "Okay, why don't you let your father tell me in person, how about it?"

"You, what do you mean!"

"I mean, don't you understand, I think you know more about your mother than I do. Rather than be here with me, you might as well go back and talk to your father, which might be more helpful for your mother's condition. Dr. Liang straightened his white coat, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at him with a smile.

Zhou Jiayu was already a little depressed about this matter, and now Dr. Liang has this attitude, and suddenly the anger came up, and when he was about to step forward, Cheng Xunyu quickly got up, reached out and grabbed Zhou Jiayu's wrist, dragged it back, and said with a smile: "What Dr. Liang said is right, my sister-in-law has always been a little prejudiced against me, and she has become the way she is now, more or less related to me." ”

"I just wanted to come over and see how she was, but I didn't expect it to be like this, she started to look fine, and said a few words to me, but I didn't pay attention to it, maybe I said something wrong, and it stimulated her, so it became like this. I'll be sure to pay attention to it next time I have the chance to come over. Sorry for the trouble. Cheng Xunxun said, pinching Zhou Jiayu's wrist hard.

Dr. Liang only smiled slightly and said nothing.

Cheng Xunxun turned around, glanced at Zhou Jiayu, and said, "In this way, let's go see your mother again, don't you still have something to do in a while? ”

Zhou Jiayu was indignant in his heart, but in the current situation, he could only swallow his anger, after all, there were people pressing on him, no matter how he shouted here, it was useless. He glanced at the doctor, looked down at Cheng Xunxun again, and then nodded after a moment and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

Dr. Liang called the medical staff to follow them, and the two of them only visited the door for a while, they probably used drugs, and Jiang Ruhui lay quietly on the bed, as if she had fallen asleep, but her hands and feet were tied, and her body was thin.

The two only stopped for a moment, Zhou Jiayu said a few words to the nurse who took care of Jiang Ruhui's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the two left the mental hospital together.

Zhou Jiayu's face was ugly, and after getting into the car, he slapped the steering wheel hard and said, "It's normal when my mother comes in, they must have done something to her to make her become like this." Why the hell is this? People are already locked up here, why do you torture her like this? You have to see that she is really crazy, so that she is willing?"

Cheng Xunxun didn't speak, only smiled helplessly.

Zhou Jiayu was silent for a moment, then burst out laughing, his laughter was full of self-deprecation, shook his head, and said: "Cheng Xunxun, there is a saying that you are right, feelings are a fart, only those who stand in a high position can protect themselves and protect the people they want to protect." What can feelings change? Feelings change with status. I don't know now that my status is so low. In fact, I also understand that it is impossible for a person to be sent to a psychiatric hospital and expect her to live here well. ”

"So, I think as long as I come diligently, they won't do anything to her, but now it seems that I was too naïve, no matter how diligent I came, when I couldn't see, they were still doing things, and now she's really crazy, what else can I do but lose my temper? I can't do anything!"

"I'm sorry for bothering you this time. I thought my mother's spirit was still normal, at least she would communicate with me normally before that, she kept saying that she wanted to see you, so I ......" He paused, lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Anyway, I'm sorry, inviting you to dinner in the evening is considered compensation for you, okay?" he said, raised his head, leaned back in the chair, smiled lightly, and his eyes were full of sincerity.

Cheng Xunxun glanced at him sideways, shook his head with a smile, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with relief: "This has nothing to do with you, even if you don't tell me, I still want to find a chance to come and see her, although we didn't get along very well before, but for Jiashu's sake, I still don't want her to be too bad." It's just that I've been very busy lately, and I don't have time to come, so you just happened to tell me that, so I just found time to come with you. ”

"So, you don't have to tell me I'm sorry, it's just a matter of time. Also, your mother will become like this, you don't have to blame yourself too much, after all, in the Zhou family, it is not an easy thing for you to climb up, of course, it is not a problem of your ability, but the people who want to be in this family are stronger than you in terms of ability and qualifications. Even if it is Zhou Yanqing, his status in Yufeng is probably only in name. The second brother and the fourth brother are not fuel-efficient, and if you really want to be held responsible, you can't be held accountable. ”

Zhou Jiayu smiled lowly, nodded, and said: "Yes, if you want to blame, you have to blame the people who destroyed the Jiang family, if the Jiang family does not fall, my mother will not become what she is now; if it were not for the proof given by the Jiang family, my mother would not be locked up here; if it weren't for the Zhou family being too powerful and my father being too ruthless, my mother would not have fallen into the current situation no matter what." ”

"If I could do it a little more, I could have stopped this. ”

Cheng Xunxun only patted his arm silently, which was a silent comfort.

After Zhou Jiayu calmed down, he started the car and left the mental hospital.

On the way, Zhou Jiayu said some things about Yufeng's internal affairs, most of them were about Zhou Yanqing, Zhou Yanqing's status in Yufeng is now very fast, and the image in the hearts of the staff has also changed to a certain extent. In addition, Cheng Xunxun's identity was exposed, which made his status even too high.

The two returned to the city, and it was almost time to eat, the two found an ordinary restaurant for a meal, Zhou Jiayu wanted to send her back, Cheng Xunchun refused, and took a taxi home by himself when he got out of the restaurant.

……

After Zhang Ruilin's ashes, she arrived in Luancheng one day, and Chang An called her and asked her how to settle down.

Cheng Xunxun thought about it, so he asked him to find a reason to send the body back to Zhang's house, and prepared a sum of money for them, but Cheng Xunxun did not come forward. In the evening, she took the initiative to call Chang An and asked about the reaction of the Zhang family, Chang An replied truthfully, "Zhang Ruilin's sister Zhang Xue is very sad and has been crying, as for Zhang Ruilin's eldest brother Zhang Su, this person is not kind, he thinks he has little money, and asked to meet with the boss, I refused." ”

"Zhang Su. Cheng Xunxun muttered, and then asked, "Only these two brothers and sisters?"

"When I went, there were only two people in the house. ”

"Okay, remember to secretly find someone to help them about the funeral. ”

"Yes. ”

She hung up the phone and exhaled softly, feeling a little sad in her heart.

On the day of Zhang Ruilin's funeral, Cheng Xunchun still went on a trip, and sat in the car and watched from afar, there was no one, just Zhang Xue and Zhang Su, because the body had been cremated, they went directly to the cemetery and found a few people to seal the tomb. It's simple, there's no ritual at all. After the two siblings left, she walked to the grave with the flowers. The cemetery is very simple, because it happened suddenly, there is not even a decent photo, so there are only words on the tombstone, and there is no photo of Zhang Ruilin.

Cheng Xunxun wore a black dress and sunglasses, and after standing for a while, she took off her sunglasses, bowed three times in front of the tombstone, and said, "Thank you, and I'm sorry." Your family and I will help you settle it down, so you can rest assured. ”

After she finished speaking, she put on her sunglasses again and stood alone in the cemetery for a long time before leaving.

In the evening, Cheng Xunxun sat in the corner of a Chinese restaurant and ate alone.

On the other side of the screen is Luo Xing, drinking tea, as if waiting for someone.

About ten minutes later, a girl in plain clothes appeared at the door of the restaurant, her eyes were red, and she looked lonely. She stood at the door, her eyes swept in, Luo Xing stood up when she saw it, and beckoned to her, the other party quickly walked over, with a trace of dazedness in her eyes, panting slightly, and asked, "Excuse me, you are the one who called me?"

Luo Xing smiled, pulled out the chair, made a gesture of please, and said, "You sit down first." ”

She was slightly stunned for a moment, but did not react, still standing straight, looking at her with vigilant eyes, Luo Xing smiled slightly, reached out and put her shoulder on her shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person." She said, with a little force, and pressed her against the chair.

"Who the hell are you? I don't know you. ”

"You're Zhang Xue, right?" Luo Xing said as she poured water for her.

Zhang Xue nodded.

"You have two elder brothers, and the second brother is Zhang Ruilin, right?"

Zhang Xue asked rhetorically: "Who are you?"

"I have the same boss as your second brother, so I guess I can be regarded as a colleague, I don't know if he told you. But judging by your reaction, I guess you haven't mentioned me. Luo Xing handed over the teacup and put it in front of her, smiling gently.

Speaking of Zhang Ruilin, Zhang Xue's eyes were a little red, tears swirled in her eyes, and she still couldn't help falling in the end. She sniffed, swallowed, and said, "Second brother never mentions his work at home, so I don't know that you are my second brother's colleague, I'm sorry." ”

"It doesn't matter. I already know about your second brother. You mourn and change. ”

Zhang Xue pursed her mouth, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, she wanted to hold back her tears, but she still didn't hold back, she shed tears, she looked up at Luo Xing, and said with a little choked up: "Thank you for your concern." But I don't understand, didn't my second brother drive, why was he sent to another place, why was he sent back ashes? I didn't even see him for the last time, I still remember when he went out to work, he said that he was going to give me his twentieth birthday, and he wanted to take me to eat expensive things, but how did he come back and become ashes?"

"Is it right to cremate the body like this without the consent of the family?" Zhang Xue was resentful in her heart, Zhang Ruilin's death was already a blow, and there was only a pile of powder left when she came back, which was equivalent to adding injury to injury.

As she spoke, she couldn't stop her tears.

Cheng Xunxun, who was sitting at the next table, could clearly hear their conversation, which Cheng Xunxun was also quite embarrassed about, and he didn't know whose order was this cremation.

Luo Xing handed over a tissue and said, "At that time, the public security department over there was almost going to bury him as a bandit, or our boss personally went to get the person back, when Zhang Ruilin had an accident, he had nothing on his body and couldn't prove his identity, so he ......"

"What the hell is my second brother going to do......" Zhang Xue whispered, the tissue in her hand was torn in half by her, obviously she still couldn't let go of her heart, and tore the tissue in her hand into pieces one by one, and suddenly came back to her senses, saw the crumbs in her hand, stunned, knowing that she was a little out of shape, she glanced at Luo Xing embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay, I know you're uncomfortable, but no matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to live well, so that your second brother can feel at ease. ”

Zhang Xue wiped her tears, took a deep breath, smiled at Luo Xing, and said, "Thank you." ”

After the words fell, the waiter in the restaurant served the food, Zhang Xue picked up the cup and took a sip of water, was silent for a while, saw the dishes on the table in front of her, suddenly seemed to think of something, looked up at Luo Xing, and asked, "Is there anything you have to do with me?"

"Let's eat first, let's talk while eating, okay?" Luo Xing tried to be very friendly.

Zhang Xue has slowly let down her guard now, probably a little hungry, she nodded and did not refuse.

The two ate together for a while, Luo Xing briefly asked her about her basic situation, she was supposed to go to college this year, but because of her unsatisfactory scores, Zhang Ruilin asked her to repeat the year and retake the exam, so she is still in her third year of high school.

She said: "Originally, the second brother had always provided me with education and given me living expenses, but now that the second brother is gone, I am afraid that I will have no money to study." ”

"I remember you had a brother, right?"

Zhang Xue was unsuspecting, nodded, and said, "But the money my eldest brother earns, he himself is not enough, and sometimes he has to ask me for money." And he never wanted me to study, thinking that it was a waste of money, so how could he use money for me to study. ”

Luo Xing frowned slightly, and immediately asked, "What about yourself? Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future? Do you want to continue reading?" ”

Zhang Xue poked the rice with chopsticks and whispered, "I don't know, all my things were arranged for me by my second brother." ”

"Then you don't have an idea of your own?"

"What's the use of having an idea right now? I don't have any money. The eldest brother took all the previous compensation, and he gave me dozens of yuan a day to eat money, and after this semester, I had no money to study again. ”

Cheng Xunxun frowned slightly when he heard this, Chang An mentioned that Zhang Su didn't look like a serious person, Cheng Xunxun didn't investigate this person carefully, but recalling the past, this Zhang Su is not a good person.

Luo Xing asked: "Then do you want to study? Now that your second brother is gone, you have to make a decision for yourself." ”

Zhang Xue's eyes rolled around, raised her eyes and glanced at Luo Xing secretly, thought about it, and whispered: "Actually, I don't like to study, I know very well in my heart that even if I take the exam again, I won't be able to get into any good university." It's the second brother who wants me to get into a good university, and I can't refute it, after all, he gave me the money. ”

"Do you want to go to college?"

"I want to, but I don't want to take exams. ”

Luo Xing said: "If I arrange a university for you and go directly without exams, are you willing?"

"Huh?" Zhang Xue's eyes widened, completely unable to believe her words, "What did you say?"

"It's just that the university I arranged for you is not in Luancheng, can you accept it? Are you willing to leave Luancheng? If your eldest brother is willing to go with you, I can also help him get a good job. ”

Zhang Xue couldn't react at all, and looked at her with blinking eyes.

Luo Xing put down her chopsticks, took out a savings card from her bag, put it in her hand, and said: "I have a very good relationship with Zhang Ruilin on weekdays, and I always hear him mention you when I chat on weekdays." I also know a little bit about the situation in your family, and I will help if I can. By the way, you're the only three of you in the house, right? What about your parents?"

"Parents?" Zhang Xue blinked her eyes and said, "I knew that my father was dead, my mother ran away, and we were the three brothers and sisters at home, and I was taken care of by my second brother." ”

Zhang Xue looked down at the card, then raised her head and blinked at Luo Xing, and asked, "Sister, are you my second brother's girlfriend?"

Luo Xing paused, turned in his head, lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Almost." ”

"It turns out that my second brother really has a girlfriend. She first laughed, then made a bitter face, rubbed her eyes, pursed her mouth, and said, "It's my second brother who is not blessed." ”

Luo Xing grinned slightly awkwardly and said, "It's me who is not blessed." ”

Then, the two were silent for a while, Zhang Xuewu lowered her head to eat, the card was always in her hand, and her eyes glanced at the card from time to time. Luo Xing didn't move her chopsticks much, and saw all her small movements and small eyes.

Finally, when it was time to send her away, she put the card in her pocket and thanked her.

"If you want, you can call me and I can arrange everything for you. Luo Xing sent her to the door, and said before putting her in the car.

Zhang Xue nodded and asked, "Sister, what's your name?"

"Luo Xing. ”

"Okay, Sister Luo, then I'll go first, thank you. ”

Waiting for Zhang Xue to leave, Cheng Xunxuan walked out of the restaurant, stood behind Luo Xing, and said: "I didn't expect their mother to run away, then when they grow up, it is really not easy for Zhang Ruilin to go to college." ”

When Luo Xing heard this, she turned around and walked to Cheng Xunxun's side and said, "Zhang Xue is not as simple as she seems on the surface, she loves money. ”

"Who doesn't love money?" Cheng Xunxun turned his head to look at her with a smile and asked.

"I am most afraid of greed, I am afraid of wolves who can't be fed. ”

Cheng Xunxun narrowed his eyes slightly, the smile on his face faded a little, and he didn't speak. Cheng Xunxun also guarded against this, so he never came forward by himself.

Zhang Xue took the card and went home, Zhang Su sat on the simple sofa, and when she saw her coming back, she shouted and said, "Where did you go?"

"Don't worry about it. Zhang Xue grabbed her pocket, gave him a blank look, and prepared to go back to the room.

Zhang Su quickly got up and went over, grabbed her hand, and began to search her body without saying anything.

"What are you doing!"

"What do you say I'm doing?" Zhang Su grabbed her arm and asked with a fierce expression.

When his hand was about to reach out to his pocket, Zhang Xue began to struggle, dodging left and right, but unfortunately he was still unable to match Zhang Su's strength, and he still took out the card in his pocket, glared at her, snorted twice, and said, "Who gave it to you?"

"You have to take care of it, it's mine! My school money!" she reached out to grab it, but Zhang Su put her back behind her and pressed her shoulder with her other hand.

"Say, who gave it?"

"Second brother's girlfriend!"

"How much?"

Zhang Xue opened her mouth, only to find that the other party didn't say how much money was in it, "I don't know, she didn't tell me, she wouldn't lie to me, right?" She also said that she would arrange a university for me and a job for you, wouldn't it be a lie to me, right?"

Zhang Su raised his eyebrows lightly, "Really, does it look like this person has a lot of status?"

"I don't know, she said that she was a colleague with her second brother. ”

Zhang Su raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't Ruilin driving for others?

Zhang Xue pouted and said, "She said it's the same boss, how do I know, you give me back the card, and you don't know the password, it's useless to pick it up." ”

"Does she want us to leave Luancheng?" asked Zhang Su.

"Oops, how do you know?"

Zhang Su snorted, threw the card to her, raised his hand and touched his chin, and said, "Of course I know." ”

……

Jiang Ruhui buried the evidence under a tree in the mountain behind Zhou's house, and Jiang Ruhui said that this tree was marked, but Cheng Xunxuan remembered that the mountain behind Zhou's house was not small, and it was not easy to find the tree. Thinking that the most dangerous place is the safest place, Zhou Yansong never dreamed that the evidence would be kept in his home.

Cheng Xunxun had to find a proper reason to go back to Zhou's house to live for a while, and this reason couldn't be too abrupt, but unfortunately he couldn't find such an excuse in the near future.

She returned to Luancheng, and it took three or four days before she returned to Tang's, and the press conference was postponed for a while, Meng Yi felt that Cheng Xunxuan still needed to prepare again, and his understanding of Tang's was not enough to make sure that he was a little immature.

Cheng Xunxun has full authority on them.

Two weeks later, a press conference was held, and Meng Yi arranged for major mainstream media, and the press conference was very lively.

Qian Bingsheng prepared a press release for her, and gave Cheng Xunxun the day before the press conference, asking her to write down a few key sentences, after all, she has to face so many shots, it is impossible to play at will, and she always needs a press release.

Cheng Xunxuan asked Luo Xing to prepare clothes, and the next morning, Luo Xing came to the door early in the morning to deliver clothes, as well as accessories, after carefully dressing up, there was a bit of the flavor of a female president.

The press conference started at 10 o'clock in the morning, Cheng Xunxun arrived at the venue 20 minutes early to prepare, before going on the stage, Meng Yi instructed three times, Cheng Xunxun took a deep breath, and after the host finished speaking, the door was pushed open. She strode in, Meng Yi and Qian Bingsheng followed her, the lens of the camera was all aimed at the three of them, and Cheng Xunxun, who was clicking and flashing, couldn't open his eyes.

In addition to media reporters, the press conference also featured several prominent figures in the business community.

Cheng Xunxuan raised his head and chest, walked up to the stage without squinting, and took a seat. Glancing at the people in the audience, she paused when she saw the person in the first position in the second row of the whole number, her eyes full of surprise.
