Chapter 52: Don't You Want It?
With a tick, the box of the safe opened, and the first thing that came to mind was the golden gold and some exquisitely crafted jewelry, and Chu Yun's gaze swept over and landed on the neat pile of documents on the bottom.
Nervously swallowing and saliva, Chu Yun quickly searched inside.
Rummaging through them one by one, Chu Yun took out a blank document without any marks on the surface and opened it, she didn't have time to look at it carefully, after she read the first page, she directly turned to the signature column on the last page, Party A-Song Jianan.
Once confirmed, she rolled up the papers, stuffed them into her bag, closed the safe, and before she could stand up, the door behind her was pushed open.
Chu Yun breathed a little, turned off the flashlight, and dodged into the bookshelf next to him before the light was turned on in the room. Leaning against the bookshelf, he didn't dare to breathe, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his nervous forehead, and his heart beat fast as if he could jump out of his chest in the next second.
The visitor stood in front of the door and looked at it, but did not stay long, and for about half a minute, he turned off the light and pulled the door shut.
The footsteps walked away, Chu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat that slid down her forehead, and slowly came to the door, just twisted the doorknob, the door was vigorously pushed open, and she jumped backwards with a quick reaction, only to escape the bad luck of being hit. It's just that if you want to hide again, it's too late.
"What are you doing in the study without sleeping in the middle of the night?"
In the past two days, she vomited a lot, and she didn't rest well, Chu Yao's face was haggard, revealing a little cyan, and her sharp eyes were fixed on Chu Yun's empty hands.
I was not feeling well, I slept until now in the afternoon, I didn't eat dinner, and I was woken up hungry. Pressing the little bell at the head of the bed, no maid came up, she got up and went downstairs to look for food, and had no intention of looking back at the faint light of the study. Thinking that her father was still working, her mother found out that she was vomiting badly that day, and took her to the hospital to check out that she was pregnant, and hurriedly called her father without her consent.
The doctor said that her child's condition was unstable and needed to be recuperated in bed for the time being, and the father decided to wait for her to get better before discussing marriage with the Jiang family.
As everyone knows, the day she went to the hospital for an examination, she was targeted by reporters and reported out. Although the parents were dissatisfied with the disruption of the plan, they were also full of anticipation waiting for the Jiang family to come to the door to propose. It's just that two days have passed, not to mention coming to the door, neither the Jiang family's parents nor Jiang Muheng have called to ask about it.
Parents went from being full of joy, to being impatient, to now full of anger, asking her about the situation with Jiang Muheng three times and twice, and as soon as she opened her mouth to say that the two personalities were incompatible, she was reprimanded by her father. said that he had children and didn't plan to get married, so where would his old face go!
There have been countless women around Jiang Muheng for so many years, and I have never heard of a woman who has tied him with a child, let alone the child in her belly......
After much thought, she decided to confess to her father. When she opened the door, the study was pitch black, and she turned on the light and did not see her father. Closed the door and walked to the staircase, saw the eldest sister's room with the light on, and remembered that in the evening, the eldest sister and Chu Yun came to visit the old mansion with a man, and the eldest sister was there, and Chu Yun should not have left.
Last time Chu Yun came back, he went to the study, could it be that the light just now ......
Chu Yao hurriedly returned, opened the door and met Chu Yun squarely.
"I couldn't sleep, so I came to find two books to read, and I flipped through them for a long time, but I didn't find a suitable one." As the saying goes, "If you catch a thief and get dirty, you will get stolen goods", Chu Yao didn't know what she was doing in the study, and she couldn't be stupid not to admit herself. Chu Yun steadied his mind, his face was calm as usual, and he covered his mouth with his hand and yawned delicately, "The futon in my room is a little damp, I went to sleep with my eldest sister." ”
Leaving now will make the uncle suspicious, afraid that Chu Yao will continue to entangle, causing an accident to the sleeping uncle and aunt, Chu Yun decided to bring out the eldest sister who had a tense relationship with Chu Yao.
"I haven't returned the two books I took last time, which makes my dad unhappy, and he wants to take them again secretly?" Chu Yao pushed Chu Yun and closed the door with a bang, "What is the difference between entering the study without the master's consent and being a thief, that's how my uncle taught you when he was alive?" Or did you only inherit the moral corruption of your drama mother, and did not inherit a little bit of the Chu family's excellent genes? ”
"You don't deserve to mention my parents!" The naked insult made Chu Yun's resentment against Chu Yao turn into a sky-high flame, burning her eyes red, and she wanted to turn into a prairie fire and burn Chu Yao to ashes!
She hooked her lips coldly, took two steps forward and came to Chu Yao, hung her head and looked at her condescendingly, her eyes moved down from Chu Yao's disdainful eyes to her turbulent body, and then slid to her flat lower abdomen, and said in a faint voice: "It turns out that the excellent genes of the Chu family are just tossing and turning between men with their breasts and self-proclaimed smart heads, the third sister is a good seedling, and the burden of carrying forward the spirit of the Chu family can only fall on your shoulders." ”
Chu Yun suddenly leaned close to Chu Yao's ear, "Being able to play easily between the two most unfathomable men in Tongcheng, the third sister is really a good skill!" But ......"
However, no matter how good Jiang Jinyan's conditions are in all aspects, without those legs, they will not agree to Chu Yao walking with him! Even if she is not pregnant with a child who is not Jiang Muheng in her belly, her uncle and aunt will try their best to give him the surname Jiang.
As a well-known wealthy family in Tongcheng, how could the Jiang family suffer such a loss, she is looking forward to the next big drama of the two giants.
Chu Yun sneered briefly, with a little schadenfreude, stopped the following words, pushed away Chu Yao who was blocking in front of him and opened the door.
"It's your man who doesn't have the ability to defend himself! Blame me. Chu Yao was not ashamed, but raised her head a little proudly, and pulled the strap of the backpack that Chu Yun hung diagonally on her shoulder, "The man I fancy can't escape from the palm of my hand, if you know him and take the initiative to leave him, I will give you a sum of money, enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." If you want to bully him and go out to slander my reputation, I will make you so embarrassed that you don't even have the idea of living. ”
"I tasted it four years ago and wouldn't mind trying it again!"
You've got to have that too!
Now she has several weaknesses in her hands, and throwing any one of them out will hurt her muscles and bones, Chu Yun laughed and broke Chu Yao's hand.
"What is this?"
Chu Yao's hand holding the shoulder strap of the backpack slid onto the bag, just touching the two-centimeter-long contract that emerged from the bag.
The contract was not put away, blaming himself for his carelessness, Chu Yun secretly screamed badly, and quickly blocked Chu Yao's hand, "I have nothing to do at home, I copy some things that I need to use in the shopping mall from books, and the third sister doesn't go to work, so I don't need this kind of thing." ”
"If you don't want to show me this, it won't be something unsightly inside."
Afraid that Chu Yun would take an important document from the study without permission, Chu Yao reached out to grab Chu Yun's bag, knowing that this thing was shown to Chu Yao, and she had no chance to overturn the case, Chu Yun dodged away, protected the bag on her chest, and mocked with a smile: "The third sister robbed my man, and now she even has to grab my bag, do you think it is good in your eyes as long as it is mine?" ”
"Don't put gold on your face, whoever wants your broken bag, give me the contents inside!"
"You let go of your hand first, and I'll get it for you."
The more she hid, the more Chu Yao wanted to look, and she pulled the strap of her bag and didn't let go. The two of them had equal strength, and it was not a way to stalemate like this, so Chu Yun let go of his hand and prepared to pull the zipper.
Seeing her compromise, Chu Yao snorted proudly and urged, "Hurry up." ”
The door was not closed, Chu Yun stepped out of the door in two steps at the moment she pulled out the documents, and made a grimace towards Chu Yao, "If the words are not good, you won't stain the noble eyes of the third sister." It's not early, pregnant women need to rest more, and get less angry. ”
"Chu Yun!" was played, Chu Yaoqi's chest rose and fell violently. She herself has a bad temper, and she has been pressed all day long in order to behave dignified and generous in front of outsiders, and now she is pregnant and sensitive, plus she can't think of a strong reason to persuade her father to let him agree to her and Jiang Jinyan's affairs, she is upset, and her anger is picked up by Chu Yun in an instant, chased out of the study, and threatened viciously: "Even if you run to the eldest sister today, you have to hand over the things to me!" Otherwise, I'm not done with you! ”
I'm not done with you!
Chu Yun ignored her clamor and ran towards the eldest sister's room with her feet scattered.
"What's the fuss at night!"
Xu Guixiang drank too much wine tonight, her mouth was dry and uncomfortable, she got up to find water to drink, heard Chu Yao's angry scream, supported her uncomfortable body upstairs, and just walked to the staircase and collided with Chu Yun who ran over.
Chu Yun ran in a hurry, didn't pay attention to Xu Guixiang who suddenly appeared, the two collided together, Chu Yun took two steps back, Xu Guixiang was drunk, her head was dizzy and not very sober, and her body staggered and fell to the ground. There was no carpet on the ground, and Xu Guixiang, who was in pain, snorted.
Chu Yao, who came later, didn't care about her, and pushed her from the right side before Chu Yun stabilized herself, Chu Yun's stomach hit the railing, she gasped in pain, and she couldn't stand up straight.
"You're taking ......"
Chu Yao's eyes widened in disbelief, and at the same time, she couldn't help but panic and be afraid.
When dealing with Chu Yao in the study just now, the zipper of the bag was already half-opened, and before he could close it, Chu Yao quickly reached out and pulled it out when the backpack was out of the range of Chu Yun's hands. only saw the epidermis, and she already knew that this was the contract signed by Song Jiannan four years ago.
never dreamed that Chu Yun would know about the existence of this thing, and Chu Yao was sure that Chu Yun remembered the recording. Even if the evidence against her back then was destroyed, there were still one or two pieces of evidence that she didn't expect, such as the recording that the eldest sister secretly hid and this thing used to restrain Song Jianan.
Once these two things are leaked out, now that the network is developed, the power of the masses cannot be underestimated, if the case is reopened to investigate the events of the year, who can guarantee that there will be no changes?
Now Chu Yun is biting this matter and not letting go, keeping her is a scourge, and Chu Yao, who has always been wrong-minded, has murderous intentions.
"Give it back to me!"
This was her only hope, and Chu Yun endured the pain and pounced on Chu Yao regardless of it.
"Want?" Chu Yao put the things behind him, his eyes were implied with calculation, he stepped back, and sneered: "Grandpa always praises you for being smart, but in my eyes, you are as stupid as Jiang Meixin!" Four years ago, I had an uncle and aunt, and I could have you take the same blame for me. Now that you are only one person, you can't find a man to marry, live a stable life, and you can't do your best to get your innocence, do you think I will let you get your wish? ”
"If you don't want people to know unless you do it, these dirty things you do will sooner or later make you get retribution!"
Chu Yao's words were piercing, and Chu Yun couldn't wait to slap her villainous and rampant face!
"Retribution is nothing but a curse on others by those who are incapable, in order to prove that Xiaomei's words are wrong, I will definitely live better than you, longer than you!" Chu Yao laughed weirdly twice after speaking, and threw the things in his hand into the study, "I want to get it myself!" ”
Glancing at the documents that fell on the gray cashmere carpet in the study, knowing that Chu Yao must not be well-intentioned, Chu Yun hesitated on the spot.
"Don't you want to? Why don't you go in and get it, this is the only chance I give you to turn over! If you don't go in if I count three times, I'll burn it in no time! Chu Yao leaned against the wall, looking leisurely, and said to Xu Guixiang, who had just gotten up, "Mom, go down and help me get a lighter." ”
Xu Guixiang was half drunk and half awake, and she didn't hear what the two of them said just now, but it could be seen that her daughter squeezed her eyebrows at her, and reluctantly responded, glared at Chu Yun, who was facing away from her, and scolded and went downstairs.
Hearing the footsteps of Xu Guixiang turning back, Chu Yun's hand hanging on his side gradually retracted, and he gritted his teeth, "Take it, I can't take it out of the old mansion." The third sister can burn it if she wants to. There are many flammable things in the study, so pay attention to the third sister when she burns it. ”
wouldn't be stupid enough to believe that Chu Yao was sincere in returning the contract to her, maybe there was some pit waiting for her! Chu Yun gritted his teeth and finished speaking, turned around and left.
I didn't even take the bait! Chu Yao's face flashed with ruthlessness, "Mom, stop her!" ”
"Eldest sister, why did you come out?" The eldest sister's room is at the westernmost end of the second floor, Xu Guixiang's mother and daughter are going to be unfavorable to her, one is invincible to the other, Chu Yun shouted when Xu Guixiang, who was obeying her daughter's command, stretched out her hands to stop her.
Chu Xin defended Chu Yun, the last time she went to Phoenix City to cut off her beard, Chu Xin not only embarrassed her, but also stopped her several cards silently, leaving only a secondary card for her, and a limit. She complained to Chu Huarong, but Chu Huarong had long accused her of spending money lavishly and did not know how to restrain herself, and reprimanded Chu Xin a few words on her face, but did not resume the stopped card.
Afraid that Chu Xin would stop her only secondary card and cut off her pocket money, Xu Guixiang hurriedly withdrew her hand and let go.
"Mom, she lied to you! She moved Dad's safe and took the contents inside, you stop her! ”
Seeing that Chu Yun crossed Xu Guixiang and ran to the door of the eldest sister with seven or eight meters left, Chu Yao stomped down angrily.
Xu Guixiang is greedy for money and loves money, when she heard Chu Yao say that Chu Yun took the things in the safe, the first thing that came to mind was that she took the gold bars and jewelry inside, and she could pay it back!
Xu Guixiang was furious, her face was red from the anger that sparked, the wine was not exhausted, her strength was much greater than usual, she ran over to catch up with Chu Yun, who was anxiously knocking on the door a few times, no one answered, and Chu Yun was waiting in front of the door. grabbed Chu Yun's arm and dragged Chu Yun, who was constantly struggling, into the study.
Without saying a word, she tore off her bag and poured out the contents of it, and didn't see the gold bars and jewelry, Xu Guixiang asked Chu Yao, "Did you see her move the safe with your own eyes?" ”
"yes, something is hidden on her!"
Chu Yao's tone was affirmative, his eyes quickly swept around the study, ran to the antique old-fashioned oil lamp on the desk, and lit it with the lighter that Xu Guixiang had just picked up and was thrown on the ground by Xu Guixiang, and his resentful gaze swept over Chu Yun, who was being searched under Xu Guixiang's pressure, walked to the bookshelf, pulled the book back slightly, and lit it.
The moisture-proof measures for the books are well done, and as soon as they encounter a fire, they immediately ignite, igniting the surrounding books, and a few wisps of smoke slowly rise.
Chu Yun was unable to cope with the crazy feeling on her body for a while, Xu Guixiang, who was looking for something, smelled a faint burning smell with her always sensitive sense of smell, Chu Yun turned around and saw Chu Yao standing in front of the bookshelf with an oil lamp, with a cruel smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Chu Yao, that's the book left by grandpa!"
Sure enough, Chu Yao had no other intention to lead her into the study, but she didn't expect this vicious woman to want to set fire to the study, and the first thing to ignite was the relics left by her grandfather, whom she had always respected! Chu Yun was furious, broke free with all his strength, and slapped Xu Guixiang's face, who was still riding on her and didn't find anything and began to tear her clothes.
The crisp slap made Xu Guixiang, whose mind was mostly dominated by alcohol, even more angry, she scratched and scratched Chu Yun, and a few slaps made Chu Yun's head buzz with her ears, and the corners of her mouth oozed blood.
The sequelae of the concussion attacked, and her mind was blank for a moment, and when she regained consciousness, Xu Guixiang, who was in a frenzy, had been pulled up by Chu Yao and wanted to leave the study.
The oil lamp was thrown by Chu Yao on the cashmere carpet, the carpet ignited instantly, the smell of smoke was choking, and the will to survive was strong, Chu Yun endured the pain of cracking and got up, and hugged Xu Guixiang's leg before his body fell.
Chu Yao kicked Xu Guixiang twice, Chu Yun gritted her teeth and hugged it with an iron heart.
There are many flammable things in the study, especially the eight bookcases are all lit, the smoke is billowing out, and the fire dragon is violently heading towards the beams of the room. The old house is not made of reinforced concrete, the beams are all mahogany, and it is resistant to burning, and once it burns, the fire is difficult to control, and the rest of the house must be woken up before it catches fire.
Afraid that the eldest sister would find out what they had done and fall short, Chu Yao covered her nose to prevent inhaling smoke, and squatted down to break Chu Yun's arm. Chu Yun's scarlet eyes spewed out overwhelming resentment, and she gritted her silver teeth and glared at Chu Yao, who slapped her because she couldn't break her hand.
"Let go!"
With a slap, Chu Yun didn't let go but hugged her tighter and tighter, the firelight reflected the faces of the three of them, Chu Yao was anxious, and wanted to slap her for the third time, Chu Yun turned his head to dodge, and pulled his arm back hard.
After a long period of tossing, Xu Guixiang's dissipated drunkenness became thicker again, she was choked by the smoke, her body was unstable and fell heavily to the ground, smashing the vase placed next to the door of the study, the vase was torn apart, and several sharp fragments pierced Xu Guixiang's body, Xu Guixiang screamed in pain.
Chu Yun grabbed the fragment of the vase and pressed it on the major artery of Xu Guixiang's neck, and threatened Chu Yao, who hurriedly bent over to help Xu Guixiang, with a cold voice, "Let me out!" ”
Hearing this, Chu Yao paused the hand stretched out to Xu Guixiang, twisted her eyebrows, and struggles flashed in her eyes. After a while, he looked at Chu Yun with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Yaoyao, I'm in pain, you pull me up, the fire is so big, if you don't leave here, we all have to die."
The pain made Xu Guixiang's wine wake up for most of the time, and there were fragments on her neck, she didn't dare to move, so she could only ask Chu Yao for help.
"Auntie, don't you see it yet? The third sister wants you to die here with me. ”
What a ruthless heart!
From Chu Yao's laughter, Chu Yun had already understood what she meant, Chu Yun laughed at herself, after four years of prison life, her heart still has human nature, and Chu Yao is simply a wolf-hearted thing!
"What nonsense are you talking about, Yaoyao won't be so ......" to her.
Before she finished speaking, Chu Yao glanced at Xu Guixiang deeply, then turned around and walked out of the study without saying a word and locked the door.
She leaned against the door of the study, raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said secretly: Mom, don't blame me, keeping Chu Yun, who hates me to the core, is to me to keep a bomb that can be ignited at any time and to pieces. Now that I have a child and a man I want to marry, I can't let her ruin everything beautiful in front of me, you have always loved me, and you must be willing to sacrifice for the happiness of your daughter.
The door behind her began to heat faintly, Chu Yao glanced at the direction where Chu Xin's room was located, their movements were not small, but the eldest sister didn't notice anything, she should have drunk too much wine like her mother.
The relationship between the eldest sister and her when she was a child was not bad, since four years ago, the relationship between the two has reached a freezing point, and it is difficult to reconcile. The death of the eldest sister may be a good thing for her, she took two steps, thinking that Chu Heng has only been able to maintain it with the support of the eldest sister in recent years, without the eldest sister, Chu Heng is defeated, and she can't maintain the superficial scenery.
Chu Yao weighed left and right, turned around and knocked on Chu Xin's door.
In the study, Chu Yun threw away the fragments in her hand stained with her and Xu Guixiang's blood, got up with difficulty and twisted the doorknob, and the door did not move. The curtains had been ignited, and they were burning, illuminating the fine anti-theft windows outside, and Chu Yun had no idea of looking forward.
The cashmere carpet had already been lit, her mobile phone had been swallowed by tongues of fire, and the carpet was not whole, Chu Yun picked up the carpet that was not lit under her feet and threw it aside. The fire in the room intensified, and the smoke billowing in the confined space quickly blocked the view, and she couldn't escape, Chu Yun covered her mouth and nose with her clothes, dragged Xu Guixiang to her side, and asked Xu Guixiang to knock on the door with her, hoping that someone outside would hear it.
"Why? I hurt her from childhood to adulthood, why did she do this to me! ”
Hurt by Chu Yao's actions, Xu Guixiang found it difficult to accept the facts, after Chu Yao left, she got up, banged on the door like crazy, and called Chu Yao's name, but no one answered, and she began to abuse for a while.
The scolding was choked by the smoke, the door of the study was still closed, and Xu Guixiang, who was bleeding constantly behind her, sat on the ground dejectedly, muttering inaudible words, and a lot of falling tears soaked the clothes in front of her.
When Chu Yun went over to pull her, she held Chu Yun's hand with both hands and roared loudly.
"I'll have to ask your aunt about yourself. It was you and your uncle who doted on her and made her so presumptuous that she didn't have any humanity! ”
Chu Yun couldn't sympathize with Xu Guixiang, and she was completely to blame for her current fate. Pull her over to avoid being burned by the fire, first, she wants Xu Guixiang to be tormented by pain for a longer time, and second, she can't watch a big living person being burned alive in front of her.
If she had lived, such a memory would have been a nightmare.
And God knows if Xu Guixiang will go crazy and pounce on her and die with her.
"I just cherish my own children, is that wrong?"
"It's right to cherish your child, it's because you didn't teach her right and wrong. If you don't want to die, don't dwell on it, come with me and knock on the door, or think about any secret passages in this study where we can escape. ”
The smoke choked on the throat, Chu Yun didn't want to waste her tongue, the latter sentence was purely casually mentioned, but I didn't expect Xu Guixiang to mutter, the original study was open to the next room, Chu Huarong later moved downstairs and sealed the door, saying that the door was just a lock.
"The door is behind the last row of bookshelves."
Chu Yun looked in the direction Xu Guixiang pointed, the smoke was thick, he couldn't see clearly, the fire was big, he was afraid that his clothes would be set on fire and burn himself, Chu Yun didn't dare to rush over.
Boom...... Boom......
With two loud bangs, the wood on the beam of the house was burned off, fell down, and smashed on the bookshelves that had not yet burned out, splashing sparks, Chu Yun hurriedly hugged his head and stepped back, his body was close to the door, Xu Guixiang screamed in fright.
In the corridor outside the study, since I left the old mansion last time, my heart feels like a barb, and I feel pain from time to time. In order to numb the pain, Chu Xin has been working hard for several days, and this afternoon when he heard Chu Yun's words, he felt better, he was relaxed, drank two glasses of red wine, and fell asleep in the bathtub.
The water was murmuring, the bathroom was sealed, the room was soundproofed, and she was not disturbed by things outside, and she slept until Chu Yao took the spare key and opened the door to wake her up.
Knowing that the old house was on fire, Chu Xin immediately got out of the bathtub, didn't even have time to wipe the water on his body, pulled the bathrobe and put it on, and ran out with his slippers.
"How could a good one suddenly catch fire?"
"I don't know, I didn't eat in the afternoon, I got up to find something to eat, and I saw smoke everywhere."
Chu Yao stayed outside for a long time, and her throat was choked by the smoke and couldn't stand it, so she pulled a towel and covered her nose and mouth, and lied without changing her face.
Hearing this, Chu Xin's shadow flashed in Chu Xin's mind, Xiao Yun knew the truth of the year, she was pushed downstairs by Chu Yao some time ago, and then she was miserably calculated, thinking that she took the initiative to come to the old mansion twice......
Chu Xin's good-looking flat eyebrows were twisted hard, could it be that she was setting fire to retaliate?
Passing by the study, he faintly heard a voice inside, Chu Xin stopped and asked Chu Yao, "All the people in the main house have gone out?" ”
"Ahem...... Sister, what did you say? ”
The fire had spread from the study to the other rooms, the smoke was raging, and Chu Yao pretended not to hear clearly and coughed loudly.
"You open the door to the study, and there seems to be someone inside."
Since she moved out of the old house, Chu Huarong thought that Chu Xin was not with her, so in order to prevent her from changing the study password.
"Big sister, let's go, I'm about to lose it." Chu Yao covered her stomach and looked pained, her body was weak, she grabbed Chu Xin's hand that wanted to pat the door of the study, and said weakly: "Eldest sister's parents haven't gone out yet, maybe they have drunk too much wine and don't know about the fire, you call them quickly, and it will be too late later." ”
The main house does not live in the maid, except for the parents, only she, Chu Yao, Chu Yun and Xue Hua are left, the parents are downstairs, Chu Yun and Xue Hua don't know the password of the study, they can't get in, they don't hear any movement in the study again, she should have heard it wrong just now.
Glancing at Chu Yao, who was pale and with her eyes closed, Chu Xin helped her downstairs and knocked on Chu Huarong's bedroom door.
Chu Huarong had been woken up by the movement outside, and wanted Xu Guixiang to get up to check, but the seat next to him was vacant, he complained a few words, and just wanted to turn over and fall asleep again, when he heard Chu Xin knock on the door and say that there was a fire, he sat up in a panic, only to find that there was a faint gray smoke wafting in the room, and he didn't care about tidying up the half-open bathrobe on his body and tearing it open. Seeing that the fire on the second floor was fierce, he threw down the sentence "Go out and talk about it!" Take the lead in running out.
"Mom?"
The sleeping servants found that the house was on fire and came to put out the fire, and there were many people outside.
After Chu Xin sent Chu Yao out, his eyes swept around the crowd and he didn't see Xu Guixiang's figure, and asked Chu Huarong, who was instructing the housekeeper to let people go up to the study on the second floor to move his safe down first.
"It may have run out a long time ago!"
Thinking about the large amount of property in the safe and the old mansion with a rising market value, Chu Huarong roared angrily, Xu Guixiang was not in the room, the fire outside was so big, as long as he went out, he could see that the woman who was greedy for life and afraid of death must have escaped by herself!
"Go to Miss Four's room and the guest room next door to see if there is anyone inside."
The housekeeper had already called the fire department as soon as possible, Chu Xin helped Chu Yao to sit down on a recliner in the garden, hurried over and grabbed a maid who was rushing to put out the fire with a basin, and said urgently.
"The fire is too big, I don't dare to go in."
The wind was fierce, and the hundred-year-old mansion had turned into a sea of fire, and when the servant heard Chu Xin say this, his legs were weak in fright, and the basin of water in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
Everyone has the consciousness of escaping danger, Chu Xin didn't blame her, picked up the remaining half basin of water on the ground, poured it on his body and was about to rush inward, but was dragged by Chu Huarong, who was standing at the exit waiting for the maid to move the safe out.
"Isn't it looking for death when you go in at this time? Maybe the fire was put by the girl, and she would have run away a long time ago. I didn't know it when I lured the wolf into the house, and I was worried about her. ”
The arm was pulled, Chu Xin stared at the maid who was blocked at the entrance of the residence and did not dare to enter silently, watching the fire swallow up the old mansion where the Chu family had lived for generations little by little.
It was to no avail that the fire trucks came, and it took more than an hour for several powerful water hoses to extinguish the fire, and the smoke of the fire that had become a ruin curled was curling, and the eyes of the people standing outside the courtyard were somewhat regretful.
The safe was not removed, and Chu Huarong was angry at the housekeeper and the two servants, and ordered them to clean up the fire immediately. Chu Xin counted the number of people in the house, Chu Yao sat on the recliner, the faint yellow light in the courtyard shone on her delicate face, and if you looked closely, you would find that the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, with a little cruelty and pleasure, as if this fire had taken away all her sins and dirt.
The scene was chaotic, no one found a figure wrapped in ill-fitting black clothes, a hat on his head to cover half of his face, and his cold and bloodthirsty eyes looked around the crowd, silently withdrew from the crowd, and ran down the rugged path behind the old mansion down the mountain.
After the counting of the number of people, Chu Xin clenched the list in her hand and called Xu Guixiang several times, but she couldn't get through, her brows that had been stretched tighter, and she came to Chu Huarong, choking slightly, "Dad, Mom didn't come out." ”
Chu Huarong's face froze, he took the wrinkled list that was held by Chu Xin and quickly swept it through, and when he saw Chu Yun's name in the disappearing list, his breath sank.
"Call the police!"
"I'm telling you about my mother!" Chu Huarong's reaction to Xu Guixiang's failure to escape from the sea of fire was mediocre, Chu Xin was shocked by his attitude, negative emotions exploded, and he suddenly raised his voice and shouted.
"Your mother loves money, and she has a safe with good things to accompany her, even if she dies, she is smiling, what are you dissatisfied with!" Losing tens of thousands of properties overnight, Chu Huarong was depressed, and when he heard Chu Xin yelling at him, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and pointed at Chu Xin's nose and scolded: "It's not all because of you, knowing that Chu Yun hates us, you still protect her, let her go to the company, and take her back to the old mansion." You're half responsible for your mother's death. The housekeeper called the police, it's good that the little slut is dead, if she doesn't die, I must let her sit through the prison this time! ”
Chu Xin stumbled a few times when he was scolded by Chu Huarong, and the sentence "Your mother's death, you have to bear most of the responsibility!" The strong appearance was shattered by the words, she covered her swollen and aching head and turned around and ran out of the crowd, running forward with her eyes closed, the night wind whistling in her ears. Running wildly for nearly two miles, her lungs and throat were burned and ached by the fire choking on the cold wind, she stopped, bent over, and gasped with her hands on her knees, and the big tears continued to drip into the dust in front of her with the light movement of her body, splashing one after another.
"You're alright." Two beams of headlights hit her from far and near. Yuan Shaowen stopped the car, slid down the window, and looked at Chu Xin, whose hair was half-wet and messy, and the white nightgown on his body was dirty, and he was still dripping water intermittently.
Hearing Yuan Shaowen's words, Chu Xin glanced up at him and said in a cold voice, "Come here to find Chu Yun?" ”
"Liushao heard that the Chu family's old house was on fire, and the fire was serious, so I was worried about Miss Chu, so I came and took a look."
Yuan Shaowen glanced at the direction of the old house, the fire was gone, and the smoke had faded, indicating that the fire had been controlled. Looking through the rearview mirror at the back seat of Liushao, who had been pursing his lips all the way without saying a word, knowing that he was worried, Yuan Shaowen simply named Chu Xin.
"She's not there."
Chu Xin remembered that Chu Yun didn't drink last night, and Xue Hua drank a lot, but he wasn't drunk, and now that he thinks about it, he must have had ulterior motives when he came to the old mansion with her yesterday. After the fire, both disappeared, and they were the most likely to set fire!
"The news we got is that Miss Chu stayed overnight in the old mansion last night and didn't leave halfway, why wasn't she there?" Yuan Shaowen obviously didn't believe it.
"Didn't leave halfway?" Chu Xin snorted lightly, "If you don't believe it, you can go over and take a look!" ”
I wanted to say that Chu Yun might have left with Xue Hua after setting the fire in the middle of the night, and he was not good at sowing discord, but when the words came to his mouth, Chu Xin swallowed them back. Stand up straight and walk forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"Is the six young still in the past?"
Jiang Jinyan hummed softly, Yuan Shaowen let go of the brakes, tapped the accelerator, and the car drove forward quickly. Jiang Jinyan lowered his head and tapped a few times on his mobile phone, and a few minutes later, a red Ferrari with a sassy bag sped in the direction of the Chu family's old mansion.
In front of the Chu family's old house, Jiang Jinyan sat in the car, his deep eyes swept over the crowd, and Yuan Shaowen went down to inquire about the situation. Chu Yao, who was pretending to be uncomfortable and asked family doctor Liang Haoren to help with the examination, when she saw the low-key Phaeton from a distance, her eyes flashed with bright colors, and she motioned to the maid next to her to help her up, came to Yuan Shaowen, and looked at him with teary eyes.
"Six young people are here to see ......"
"Liushao asked me to ask about Miss Chu's situation."
Miss Chu? Yuan Shaowen has always called her Miss Chu San, and the Miss Chu he is talking about now should be Chu Yun. Chu Yao's dark eyes were mixed with a hint of unwillingness and resentment, and his hand was gently pressed on his lower abdomen, "I have something to say to Liushao." ”
After asking a few people, they didn't ask about Chu Yun's situation, and after looking at the scene of the broken wall, Yuan Shaowen's eyes were full of worry.
"Assistant Yuan doesn't need to worry, I know the situation of the little sister, you take me over, and I will talk to Liushao in detail."
She had created an opportunity to meet Jiang Jinyan before, but Jiang Jinyan didn't buy her account, only said a few polite words to her on the surface, and didn't have any more in-depth conversations. Once she saw Jiang Jinyan's car parked in front of the Homeinn Hotel, she went to knock on the window to say hello, Jiang Jinyan didn't even open the window for her, and left her next to her for three or four minutes.
If it weren't for Yuan Shaowen coming back to greet her, Jiang Jinyan raised his head and glanced at her indifferently.
Afraid that he would be ignored again if he took the initiative to go over, Chu Yao came over to entangle Yuan Shaowen.
Maybe she was telling the truth, and she couldn't find out about Chu Yun, and she was afraid that Liu Shaowen would be in a hurry, so Yuan Shaowen took Chu Yao over.
"Liushao, I asked the servants of the Chu family, and the servants who served in the main mansion said that they hadn't seen Miss Chu again after dinner, and Xue Hua, who came to the old mansion with Miss Chu that night, left in the middle of the night."
Yuan Shaowen got into the car first to explain the situation to Jiang Jinyan, and then got out of the car again to help Chu Yao open the car door.
Chu Yao held her flat stomach, sat in the car with a full sense of pregnancy, and called in a low voice, "Liushao." ”
Jiang Jinyan didn't look at her, he hummed lightly, and his eyes kept staring at the group of grizzled people in front of the old mansion.
"Liushao don't worry about the little sister, she should leave the old mansion before the fire spreads." Chu Yao rubbed her hand lightly on her stomach, hoping that Jiang Jinyan could find her abnormality, and then asked. But after waiting for a long time, Jiang Jinyan's attention was not on her, she lowered her eyes and bit her lip, and said again: "Last night, my little sister came to the old house with a man named Xue Hua, and when I got up in the middle of the night, I heard the sound of a car in the backyard, and I saw Xue Hua's car leave, and my little sister should be on it." ”
"Should it be, or is it for sure?"
The good-looking thin lips moved lightly, and the voice was cold and impatient.
"The lights in the yard are dim, and I am looking down from the second floor, far away, just looking at someone in the passenger seat, I can't see it too clearly."
Xue Hua left, she still listened to what the maid had just told the eldest sister, saying that Chu Yun followed Xue Hua just to cover up. The fire was so big just now, it burned for nearly two hours, and she was eight points sure that Chu Yun didn't even have slag left. There is no proof of death, she is talking nonsense, and her lies cannot be debunked.
"Get out of the car!"
"Liushao, you let me get out of the car?" The sudden cold command made Chu Yao's eyes red again, she straightened her stomach, burst into tears, bit her lower lip, and whimpered: "Do you remember what happened that night?" ”
Jiang Jinyan looked at her coldly and didn't speak. Seeing that he didn't get her out of the car again, Chu Yao's face twisted, "Liushao, I'll ...... I'm pregnant, yes...... It's your ......"
