Chapter 564 Night Meeting (Part I)

The area around the Bund was once a concession, but now there are still a lot of exotic buildings here, and from a distance it looks a bit like a miniature United Nations. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoOne of these buildings belongs to our Jiang Group, but this place I rarely visit. At this moment, Sister Wang Na and I, Yun Ning, are standing in front of the door, it is now eight o'clock in the evening, the sky has completely darkened, most of the surrounding are restaurants, people are boiling, and the lights are bright, but the building in front of me is not lit.

I looked at the gate, and instead of going forward, I went around to the back, where there was a side door, which was usually the back door of the kitchen, and the garbage collectors would wait here every day. I slammed the door twice, and it opened silently from within, and a small, rickety old woman stood behind it, and bowed respectfully when she saw me. This mother-in-law is a cook in my family, and I have been with my grandmother for many years, and I don't know how old she is, but looking at the wrinkles on her face like spider webs, I know that she must be not young. Yun Ning gasped, I guessed she was frightened by her mother-in-law's face.

"Sister Yinyin, is this the place, why is it blind in the dark, it looks a little infiltrating." Yun Ning said.

"This is here, this used to be grandma's private office, and it is also the place where she lives the most on weekdays, but now she is gone, but someone occupies the magpie's nest." I said, "Let's go, let's go up." ”

When you go inside the house, you will find that it is not completely devoid of light, the hall and the staircase leading to the second floor are lit with a very dim lamp, like an old-fashioned kerosene lamp, so that when you look at it from the outside, you will think that it is dark inside.

"Sister Yinyin, who is using this office now?" Yun Ning asked.

"Yes, my mother." I took Yun Ning and Sister Wang Na and walked straight up, the innermost office on the second floor, the door was open, and a little light was faintly revealed. Sister Wang Na tugged at my sleeve, I waved my hand, signaled her not to be nervous, and then pushed the door directly and walked in.

There was only one person in the room, standing in front of the window with his back to the door, and turned around when he heard the door. She was stunned when she saw me, then smiled and said, "Yinyin, why are you here?" ”

"I heard that my mother came back from the United States, why didn't she go back to the mansion to have a look, and she didn't tell me, so I had a hard time looking for it." I laughed as she sat across from her desk, on which there were two glasses of whiskey, and it looked like she was waiting for someone.

"I, I'm just coming back to take care of a little thing, and I'm going back soon, so I didn't alarm you." Mother said casually. I looked at her, I still looked a little bit like her, but I inherited the unified face of the Kui family, and it still looked different from her, but she looked more like Xiao Jiang.

I was raised by my grandmother since I was a child, and there were not many opportunities to contact my mother, she and my father ran around for the family's affairs, always gathering less and leaving more, so today I started to look at it from scratch, so many years, I have never looked at my mother so closely, and now I look at it like this, I can't see through my mother. I always thought that my grandmother was the core of this family, she was unfathomable, but now when I look at my mother, I don't know when, she has become elusive.

"Mother, is this waiting for someone?" I gestured to the wine on the table.

My mother didn't answer, she suddenly looked at me coldly, and then drank the wine in her hand. "Yin Yin, you are my daughter, it is the flesh that fell from my body, although our love is thin, but after all, blood is thicker than water, since you are here, don't talk like this, what are you here for?"

This was a bit of a surprise to me, I didn't expect my mother to get straight to the point, I'm afraid that the method she wanted to use was called preemptive. If it had been two years ago, I would have panicked, but now I have to laugh at myself for having such a contempt for my mother and her daughter.

"Since my mother said it clearly, then I also said it clearly, I know why you are here today, and I also know who you are waiting for, at eight o'clock in the evening, you made an appointment with Yuan Ru, am I right?" I asked.

"You know and you still came to ask me what I was doing, yes, I did make an appointment with Yuan Ru, but I also asked Yuan Ru to talk about business." Mother said as she poured herself another glass of wine. I didn't know that my mother had started drinking too much, but I didn't expect it.

"I remember that before my grandmother went to the United States, all the affairs of the family had been handed over to me to deal with, why, what else was there in the family, I couldn't know?" I asked.

"It's not a big deal, you deal with the affairs of the group, I think it's better not to bother you about such a trivial matter." Apparently my presence today had disrupted my mother's plans, so now she was in a panic and didn't know how to lie.

"Yes, uniting the directors of various groups against me and trying to destroy my family's century-old foundation is really a very small thing, so small that I shouldn't even know about it." I said, "By the way, Sister Wang Na, what time is it?" said that it was eight o'clock, this Minister Yuan Ru was not very punctual. ”

"It's a quarter past eight." Sister Wang Na said. My mother's face turned ugly, and she stared at me with wide eyes.

"What did you do to Yuan Ru?" She asked.

"What else can I do, what are you worried about me doing? Compared with your own daughter, you are more concerned about this adopted daughter, what can I do now but be sad. I said indifferently.

"You... You killed her?! "Mother was almost yelling at me, and I almost squirted all the sip of wine.

"Mother, how much do you not know me, murder? That's not what I'm good at, I'm really surprised that you think so, I just changed the time in the email you sent to Yuan Ru to nine o'clock, that's all. I said, I could feel my mother's face softening a lot.

"Now that you know everything, what do you want now?" Mother asked lightly, from beginning to end, we are not like a mother and son, the two of them are like making a deal to negotiate the price, indifferent and emotionless.

"Of course it's stopping you, things have come to this point, don't you think your plan will succeed?" I say.

"Of course I wouldn't be that naïve, I just wanted to know, why didn't you just poke me and show up here instead." Mother asked.

"Because there's one thing I haven't figured out, and that's why you're doing this." (To be continued.) )
