Chapter 31: An Unexpected Man
When the hourly worker finished cleaning the bathroom, he saw a man leaning against the wall.
"Xie Shao, you're back."
Xie Jinghuan leaned against the wall, his knees propped up on the edge of the TV cabinet, playing with the aromatherapy lamp in his hand, his eyes narrowed, "Well, I'll be back a little early." ā
The part-time worker looked at the aromatherapy lamp in Xie Jinghuan's hand, his eyelids jumped, and he was about to walk aside, and took the initiative to pick up the garbage bag leaning against the wall, "I've already packed it up, if there is nothing else, I'll leave first." ā
"Stop."
Just as the hourly worker walked to the door and was about to open the door, Xie Jinghuan suddenly stopped her.
She shook her hand and stopped.
"Where did this thing come from?"
Xie Jinghuan put the aromatherapy lamp on the flower stand next to him, just at eye level with the hourly worker.
Part-time workers are obviously not good at lying, and they stammer.
"IāI don't know."
Xie Jinghuan sneered, "You don't know? Or, I call the police station directly and ask the police to come and bring someone? ā
"I didn't commit a crime......"
"Yes, you didn't commit a crime, but you just put an aromatherapy lamp with some aphrodisiacs on my desk," Xie Jinghuan said, "but the police don't know, I can say at will, for example, I lost a Rolex watch, or a jade bracelet, or, more directly, I lost five thousand yuan......"
The hourly workers are already shaking into a sieve.
Xie Jinghuan restrained the expression on his face, "I'll give you another chance to tell the truth." ā
"IāI found it in the bag in that cupboard, and there was an aromatherapy lamp in it, and I lit it."
Xie Jinghuan squatted down and opened the cabinet, and there was indeed a bag inside.
Take out this paper bag, and there is not only this same aromatherapy lamp, but also toothbrushes, towels, and toiletries.
Xie Jinghuan's eyes narrowed, and he remembered it.
This bag was brought by Xie Jingze.
Knowing Xie Jinghuan's residence, in addition to himself, in the Xie family, there is only his younger brother Xie Jingze, and now, there is another Xie Ying.
Xie Jinghuan took the bag out, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, "You still refuse to tell the truth?" ā
With his other hand, he had already taken his phone out of his pocket, ready to make a call.
The slender fingers slid across the screen, unlocked it, and then clicked three numbers on the screen, and the hourly worker looked at it, was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Xie Shao, don't call the police!" ā
"Say."
The part-time worker said, "Yes...... It's Ershao, tell me to remember to light an aromatherapy lamp for you, saying that this aromatherapy lamp is a sleep aid, and it helps the body, and I don't know anything else. ā
At this moment, there was a ding-dong doorbell at the door.
Xie Jinghuan casually threw the bag on the table and went over to open the door.
Outside the door, standing were Xie Jingze and Xie Ying.
Both men were holding two bags with the logo of the shopping mall printed on them.
"Brother, have you eaten? Sakura and I bought a lot of food and said we wanted you to cook noodles for us. ā
Xie Jingze walked in first, saw the part-time worker standing aside, and paused for a moment.
Xie Ying also walked in, she already noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, looked at Xie Jingze, and lip shaped, why don't we go upstairs first?
Xie Jingze nodded.
The two put down their things and were about to go upstairs when Xie Jinghuan spoke.
"Aze, you come over first."
Xie Jingze stopped and walked over, looking confused.
Xie Jinghuan knocked on the table, "Aunt Zhang, now that the person concerned is in front of you, you can repeat what you just told me." ā
Xie Jingze was completely unsure, "What words?" ā
The part-time worker lowered his head and didn't look at Xie Jingze, and paused for more than ten seconds before he spoke, "You, you...... It was the second young man who told me that he wanted to light an aromatherapy lamp when he came to clean. ā
When Xie Jingze heard this, he realized that the bags of toiletries and daily chemical products he had bought were placed on the table, and there were several aromatherapy lamps in it.
"Yes, it's me," he said calmly, "Brother, didn't you say it half a month ago, you always have a headache and can't sleep well, so I specially bought a sleep aid aromatherapy lamp, which I also told Aunt Zhang and asked her to help you light it." ā
Xie Jinghuan's eyes rolled through a dim dark light.
Xie Jingze's eyes were free of impurities, and it didn't look like he was lying when he said something like this.
Xie Jinghuan lowered his head, and his fingers rubbed over the smallly designed aromatherapy lamp, "Aunt Zhang, it's none of your business here." ā
When the hourly worker heard this, he hurriedly opened the door and left.
Xie Jingze was a little confused, and he leaned forward, "Brother, don't you like this kind of aromatherapy lamp?" ā
āā¦ā¦ Allergic. ā
Xie Jinghuan casually threw the aromatherapy lamp on the coffee table and spit out two words very casually.
Xie Jingze's eyes widened, "How come?" ā
He stared at the three remaining aromatherapy lamps in the bag with a hellish expression, hurriedly took them all down, held them and threw them into the trash.
"I won't buy you this kind of thing in the future," Xie Jingze asked, "Do you have a rash from allergies?" Brother, do you want to go to the hospital? ā
Xie Jinghuan ignored Xie Jingze and said directly: "You can go, remember to lock the door before leaving." ā
Xie Jingze, who took a step forward, suddenly paused.
"Brother, I haven't eaten yet."
Xie Jinghuan stopped and asked in a cold tone, "What does it have to do with me?" ā
Xie Jingze's face gradually changed with embarrassment.
Xie Jinghuan didn't see it, and had already walked to the stairs.
He entered his room, went straight to the window, and pulled back the curtains that were blocking the bed.
Outside the window, the lights shone on the shadows of the trees, the shadows swayed on the ground, and a middle-aged woman hurriedly walked out of the apartment, which could be seen, holding a mobile phone in her hand.
After a few more minutes, Xie Jingze also walked out.
The whole person was a little lost, and when he walked into the shadows, he almost hit a lamppost on the side of the road.
Xie Jinghuan frowned, picked up the phone and found Xie Jingze's mobile phone number, his fingers stayed on the top of the phone, and he didn't fall for a long time, so he simply left it aside.
How is Xie Jingze, and what does it have to do with him?
was originally a two-way person, Xie Jingze should have stayed away from him.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Xie Ying came out of the guest room and found that the second brother was gone.
"Big brother, what about the second brother?"
"Gone."
Xie Jinghuan came out of the kitchen, "I made two bowls of noodles and served them." ā
Xie Ying sighed and muttered, "Second brother hasn't eaten yet, by the way, big brother, there are crispy peanuts in the bag that you like to eat, and the second brother even went around the city to buy them for you." ā
Xie Jinghuan paused with his hand holding chopsticks to pick noodles.
His gaze fell on the steaming soup noodles, and his eyes gradually fell, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint fearless smile.
Crispy peanuts......
I remember that when Xie Jinghuan was taken back to Xie's house at the age of eight, he was vomiting and diarrhea all day long because of the inconsistency of the water and soil here, and he couldn't eat a few bites of rice, but he could only eat crispy peanuts.
At that time, Xie Jingze was less than two years old, but he liked to stick to Xie Jinghuan.
Once, he fed Xie Jingze a peanut, and almost made Xie Jingze stuck in his throat, but his father knew about it and beat him hard.
Xie Ying was full of praise for Xie Jinghuan's craftsmanship.
"I really don't know how the second brother left so early, and he didn't eat such delicious noodles, let me take a picture of the circle of friends to covet him."
Xie Ying grinned, took out her mobile phone and took a photo, especially posted it to Moments, and reminded Xie Jingze to see, "There is no beautiful picture, someone has no mouth." ā
She was eating and scrolling through the circle of friends, and at this moment, a phone call came.
Xie Ying looked at the word mother displayed on the screen, and almost squirted out a mouthful of noodles.
"Why did Mom call here?"
She hurriedly sat upright, answered the phone, and said in a sweet voice, "Mom." ā
"How many classes are there at school today, are classes over?" Jiang Minlan asked.
"Six classes, class is over, I just went to the library."
"Oh, what's for dinner tonight?"
"Noodles...... Wrap with ham. ā
Xie Jinghuan raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Ying.
Xie Ying stuck out her tongue at him and said with her mouth, "It's okay, I can't find it." ā
As a result, in the next second, Jiang Minlan's words came from the phone: "Bread and ham? So where did you take the egg noodle soup photo? ā
āā¦ā¦ā
Xie Ying shook for a moment before remembering the photo she had just posted on Moments.
But...... She didn't add her mother's friends!
Jiang Minlan seemed to know what Xie Ying was thinking, "Your second brother just came back, and he didn't take his mobile phone on the table." ā
Xie Ying: "......"
She also reminded Xie Jingze how stupid she was!
Jiang Minlan commanded in a cold voice: "Give the phone to Jing Huan." ā
Xie Ying already knew about the stuffing, and originally said that if she stayed with her eldest brother for a week, she could eat and drink spicy food, and she didn't have to obey the discipline of her parents, but she didn't expect to lose in such a circle of friends of hers.
Xie Ying pitifully handed over the phone, and Xie Jinghuan took it, "Mother." ā
"Send Sakura home."
"Yes."
"I don't care if you're outside, but don't take your younger brothers and sisters to be influenced by you, you should pay attention to your words and deeds."
The expression on Xie Jinghuan's face did not change, but the fingers holding the phone curled up slightly, "Yes." ā
Hanging up the phone, Xie Ying hurriedly asked, "What did mom say?" ā
Xie Jinghuan put his phone on the desktop casually, "Tell me to send you home." ā
Xie Ying suddenly lay on the table and cried wolf, "My heart is so tired, can I turn back time." ā
She wants to show off to her second brother for Mao, for Mao!
After eating, Xie Jinghuan washed the dishes and chopsticks casually, and went to send Xie Ying back to Xie's house.
Xie Ying followed behind, weak.
Jiang Minlan was playing chess with Xie Bin.
Playing chess after dinner is Xie Bin's habit, and Jiang Minlan's chess skills have also begun to slowly connect because of Xie Bin's needs.
"Isn't Aze coming back?" Xie Bin asked.
"Well, I'll go upstairs when I get back."
There was a sound at the door, Jiang Minlan looked up, and Xie Jinghuan and Xie Ying walked in one after the other.
Xie Bin beckoned to Xie Jinghuan, "Jinghuan, listen to your mother, do you still like Miqiao you have seen in the past two days?" ā
"Miss Mi is beautiful and kind-hearted."
Xie Bin pondered for a moment, "If you think it's okay, settle down first?" When the two of us meet, it's good that you get along first. ā
"Father, will it be too fast to do this?" Xie Jinghuan paused, "Miss Mi and I have only met two or three times, so in such a hurry, the Mi family will inevitably think that we are too reckless." ā
Xie Bin nodded, "That's right, then you can continue to deal with it first, and if you need anything, tell your mother about this matter." ā
"Okay."
After saying Xie Jinghuan, Xie Bin transferred to Xie Ying, who was hiding behind Xie Jinghuan.
"Sneaking back, but not saying a word?"
Xie Yingdu was almost like an ostrich, burying her head in her chest.
Jiang Minlan smiled, "Okay, Sakura also wants to come back to see her father early, right?" ā
Xie Ying nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I haven't come back after being abroad for half a year, I miss you guys!" I just wanted to come back and surprise you! ā
Xie Ying has a lively temperament, and as soon as she heard Jiang Minlan's words, she immediately began to climb up the pole.
Xie Bin was helpless, "You are so surprised, if your mother hadn't seen Aze's mobile phone, she would have hidden it." ā
Xie Ying smiled, "Dad, how can you say that!" If I come back suddenly, wouldn't it be a big jump for you, I just deliberately sent a WeChat message to my second brother, just to give you a psychological preparation first. ā
She walked over with a smile, "Dad, I'll play chess with you." ā
Xie Ying walked opposite Xie Bin, took the white son in his hand, and handed the black son to Xie Bin.
Xie Bin was surprised, "Do you know how to play chess?" ā
This daughter, Xie Bin is very clear, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, everything is not clear, she has been cultivated by a celebrity lady since she was a child, but now, she has picked up a scalpel and is determined to be a lifelong person.
Xie Ying had already made a white shot, "Of course, I know how to do it!" ā
In the blink of an eye, it was already black and white, Xie Ying dropped the white son and clapped her hands, "I won!" ā
Xie Bin looked at the five whites on the chessboard, and couldn't help but shake his head, "Backgammon? ā
Xie Ying said: "Yes, you didn't say what chess we played. ā
Jiang Minlan watched the father and daughter raise the bar, and got up with a smile, "Jing Huan, come with me to the kitchen for supper." ā
Xie Jinghuan followed.
Jiang Minlan put refreshments on the plate, "You have a house over there in Lushui Jiangting?" ā
"Yes." Xie Jinghuan said, "I started last year. ā
"The housing prices over there are not cheap, and they are all internal places."
"Someone gave Ah Hang a house, and Ah Hang didn't accept it in order to avoid suspicion, so I bought it with all the money."
"That's it," Jiang Minlan cleared her throat, "You are the eldest brother of Aze and Sakura, and you should also set an example, I don't ask you for anything, when you are not in front of them, when you are in front of them, do a good job of being a big brother." ā
"Yes, Mother."
Jiang Minlan picked up the tray, "Since you have a house outside, don't come back to live during this time." ā
Xie Jinghuan looked at Jiang Minlan's back, and waited until she was about to walk to the door before saying, "Yes." ā
Xie Jinghuan went out, and Xie Ying called him to come for supper.
"Don't eat it, I'll go upstairs and clean up my things."
Xie Ying raised her head, "Brother, you want to go out?" ā
Xie Bin was also a little surprised, "Do you want to go out so late?" ā
"I'll leave early tomorrow morning, there is a project in Shanghai in the company, which is more tricky, and I will go with it."
Xie Jinghuan walked up the stairs, looked back at the scene of laughter below, his eyes were not shocked, and he walked up the stairs.
When passing through the corner of the stairs, a figure came out of the room, and was suddenly stunned when he saw Xie Jinghuan.
Xie Jinghuan passed straight past him without stopping.
Xie Jingze turned around, moved his lips, and finally called out, "Brother." ā
Xie Jinghuan pushed open the door, "Go eat something, an empty stomach is not good for the stomach." ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
At this point, the other side.
Locke's Villas.
Luo Jianmei had just broken a teacup and was about to bow her head to pick it up.
"Aunt Mei is still pregnant, so tell me to do this kind of thing."
Luo Nian had already picked up the four pieces of the teacup on the ground and threw them directly into the trash.
The expression on Luo Jianmei's face froze, "I'm a little tired, Sister-in-law Li, help me go back to the room." ā
When Luo Nian took a step forward, he blocked Luo Jianmei's way.
"Aunt Mei, you were a little surprised when you heard the name Luo Jianyong."
"No ......"
"The cups are broken."
Luo Jianmei explained anxiously: "That's because my hand slipped. ā
"That's really a coincidence," Luo Nian took out a document from his bag and read it according to the document, "Luo Jianyong, born in B City, Province C, happens to be born in the same place as Aunt Mei, graduated from XX Technical School, and came to City C in 13 years to seek a job, and his first job was to work as an accountant in a garment factory under Chenghuan, and Chenghuan is now renamed Luo's, at that time, Aunt Mei already had a good relationship with my mother, I remember that you were also a secretary in Chenghuan at that time." ā
Luo Jianmei's face was a little pale.
Luo Nian flipped through a piece of paper, "Aunt Mei, I'll continue reading." ā
"Needless to say."
Luo Jianmei interrupted Luo Nian's words, raised her hand and called Sister-in-law Li, who was supporting her aside, and said, "Go back and rest first, don't tell you not to come over." ā
Sister-in-law Li knew that these wealthy families were actually hiding dirt inside, and knew that this must be something unseemly, so she left automatically.
Luo Jianmei sat down again.
With a big belly, it was very inconvenient for her to sit down.
Luo Nian didn't move, he still leaned on the table beside him, holding his arms and looking at it coldly.
Luo Jianmei held her stomach, "Niannian, since you have found out, I won't hide it from you, Luo Jianyong is my brother, but because of the incident of the Green Field Project last year, something happened, he ran away, and I also cut off relations with him." ā
"He was in charge of the project at that time?"
"It was given to him by your father, a little oily and watery, after all, it is towards his own family."
Luo Nian sneered in her heart, it's not just a little oil and water, it's a lot of oil and water, and according to her investigation, there is still a part of the construction team's salary, which is owed for two months, and it was only paid after the accident, I'm afraid it's a hush money.
"Where's Zhang Liang?"
Luo Jianmei frowned.
"Taking the money that should be a project, under the banner of charity, helping a victim pay for treatment, it only accounts for less than 10% of what you take, right?"
"I didn't take that money, my brother took it," Luo Jianmei sighed, "Niannian, I know that no matter what I say now, you don't believe it, but if you don't believe me, you should always believe your father, right?" ā
"It's okay if you don't say it, and you don't believe it if you say it."
Luo Jianmei stood up with a big belly, "I know you don't believe me, Niannian, I'll help you contact my brother during the day tomorrow, if I can get in touch, I will definitely let him tell you in person, we lost money on that project." ā
Luo Nian didn't bother to pay attention to Luo Jianmei anymore.
The next day, Luo Nian received a call from Xin Man, the information had been summarized, and the first report of the special topic would be opened in the newspaper tonight.
"I happen to know a lawyer who is interested in this case and will investigate further."
With Xin Man's help, Luo Nian felt much more relaxed, and he had time to talk to Xie Jinghuan more about love.
It's just that a phone call came and I found out that Xie Jinghuan had gone to Shanghai on a business trip.
"I'll go back in three days, do I need to bring you something?"
"No, you don't."
"Do you remember the password of Lushui Jiangting?"
"Huh?"
Xie Jinghuan's voice was like a gentle wind, slowly blowing through his eardrums, "If you don't want to go back to the Locke Villa, go to sleep with me, no one will disturb you." ā
Luo Nian's heart calmed down suddenly.
Xie Jinghuan is really good at perceiving people's hearts, and it is easy to take people to death.
Hanging up Xie Jinghuan's phone, Luo Nian observed Luo's stock, still going up and down in a gentle arc.
Until the evening, in the evening newspaper, the news report written by Xin Man was issued, which immediately attracted strong attention from the society.
As soon as the stock market opened the next day, Luo's stock plunged down.
Luo Nian looked at the green eyes on the screen and hooked his lips with satisfaction.
She sat at the head of the bed with the computer in her arms, and the pillow had the smell of Xie Jinghuan, which made people feel at ease.
The phone rang.
Luo Nian turned his head and saw that it was Luo Xuning calling.
This Luo Xuning, who was temporarily moved by Luo Haidong to be a rescuer, has disappeared from Luo Nian's world these days, and she has even forgotten Luo Jianmei's nephew.
A thought popped through her mind.
Luo Jianyong is Luo Jianmei's brother, so Luo Xuning is Luo Jianyong's son?
But from the investigation materials, it is not written that Luo Jianyong has a son, he only has a daughter.
Pressing this doubt, Luo Nian answered the phone.
"Nian Nian, come out to see Aunt Mei, it's Aunt Mei begging you."
Luo Nian had already blocked Luo Jianmei's phone, and Luo Nian didn't answer unknown strange calls, so Luo Jianmei had no choice but to use Luo Xuning's phone.
Luo Niangang wanted to hang up the phone, but Luo Jianmei hurriedly said, "Don't you want to know the specific details of that project?" I'm telling you. ā
Half an hour later, Luo Nian came to the agreed place.
It is a tea house.
Luo Jianmei is about in the private room on the second floor.
The teahouse is antique, and the private room is also separated by a huge embroidered screen, and you can faintly see the figure next to the tea table.
Luo Nian was led by a waiter to behind a screen.
She thought that there was only Luo Jianmei, or one more Luo Xuning, but she didn't expect that there was another unexpected person.
