Chapter 167: Wen Yi'an Disappears
For so long, this was the first time that Wen Yi'an had disobeyed Chu Qiao's intentions, and when Chu Qiao received Wen Yi'an's call, the others were already at Baodao Airport.
"Wen Yi'an, turn around immediately and book the latest flight back to Kyoto!"
"I'm sorry Mr. Chu, I can't listen to you this time." Although Chu Qiao was stubborn, he understood that Jiang Hanwu was her biological father no matter what, not to mention that many of those things back then were actually misunderstandings.
Jiang Hanwu has a sudden illness now, and he must help her investigate clearly, otherwise once something happens, Chu Qiao will not be at ease in his life!
"Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, why are you going to Treasure Island if it's okay? Hurry back and I'll pick you up at the Kyoto airport later. ”
"Mr. Chu, if there is no conspiracy, Mr. Jiang will not fall for no reason at all, you know this better than me, I will help you investigate the truth of this matter, and I will contact him as much as possible, during this period, in order for you not to disturb me, I will shut down the phone, the company's affairs are temporarily in charge of Xiao Jin alone, you can find him if you have something, take care."
After Wen Yi'an finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
When Chu Qiao dialed Wen Yi'an's phone again, the other end had already prompted to turn off the phone.
"What's wrong? What are you frowning about? ”
Yi Qingchen happened to enter the door, and when she saw her holding her mobile phone, she looked worried, so she took it off and put it on the coffee table.
"Do you know about Jiang Hanwu?"
"Hospitalized?"
"Hmm."
"I also heard my grandfather mention it just now, so I'm not going to come to you to discuss."
"Ian has gone to Treasure Island."
"This hairy boy is really too impulsive." Yi Qingchen shook his head helplessly, "Last time I went to Baodao, I asked Jiang Hanwu about his physical condition, and there was no problem at all, and now this matter can't escape three situations, either Jiang Shaoxiu or Su Wenlan, or Jiang Hanwu's political enemy, now Baodao is in chaos inside and out, he will go to Baodao now, isn't this equivalent to going to death?" ”
No matter which of the three parties does something, it must be hidden from the world, he runs so openly to dig up other people's secrets, can he have a good end?
Wen Yi'an has always been known for being calm, but it seems that this time he was confused and confused.
"What to do Qingchen, you quickly think of a way." Chu Qiao looked at her anxiously.
No matter how high Wen Yi'an's IQ is, he is only a little boy under the age of twenty, and he has experienced too few things, especially something like this life-threatening now.
She can't let anything happen to Yi'an, absolutely not!
"Wen Yi'an's flight to Baodao is the last flight in the last few days, Jiang Hanwu has not been in a few days, the Baodao government is now in turmoil, in order to avoid many unnecessary troubles have temporarily closed all airports and ports, neither in nor out, until the next leader is elected."
Yi Qingchen's words made Chu Qiao stunned on the spot.
Not allowed to enter, not allowed to go out, so what about Yi'an? He is now alone on the treasure island and his mobile phone has been turned off, and she can't even know his safety!
"Don't worry, I'll think of a way, don't worry, although Wen Yi'an is a little impulsive this time, he is not a stupid person after all, and he will not put himself in danger."
Seeing Chu Qiao's little face pale, Yi Qingchen was distressed.
"I felt uneasy yesterday, I always felt that something bad would happen, and my heart has been beating suddenly until now, I really can't have an accident, otherwise how can I be worthy of Sister-in-law Lian."
"Come, I'll help you downstairs first and talk to Shaojin and them, so you can turn your attention. Then I went to my grandfather to discuss this matter, you must calm down, it will not be long before the birth is coming, and you have to think about the baby. ”
"Well, then you can go quickly, I'll just go downstairs by myself."
Chu Qiao watched Yi Qingchen enter the old man's study, but he was not in the mood to go downstairs to chat, so he kept anxiously walking back and forth in the corridor at the door of the study.
"Sister-in-law, why are you standing here?"
Chu Qiao raised his eyes, and happened to meet the deep dark eyes of Yijun on the seat, "You're back Yijun." ”
"Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell? The face is so ugly. ”
At this time, Chu Qiao's face was pale, his originally delicate lips had no blood at all, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his fair and smooth forehead, which made people look worried.
"I ......" Xi Yijun's relationship with Wen Yi'an is now so good that they can wear a pair of pants, if you tell him, wouldn't there be one more person to worry about?
But Xi Yijun has such a good relationship with Wen Yi'an, if there is any other contact information for him, maybe he can find Wen Yi'an.
Chu Qiao hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Yi'an is going to the treasure island." ”
"What!"
"I just arrived more than half an hour ago, and I called when I arrived, but soon the phone was turned off again, and we can't contact him now, you also know that the situation on Baodao is tense now, and I'm worried that something will happen to him."
"Where's the second cousin?"
"I'm still discussing it with my grandfather inside." Chu Qiao pointed to the study door.
"You go downstairs first to play with Shaojin and them, you must not be in a hurry now, we will definitely deal with this matter, and send Yi'an back to you safe and sound." Xi Yijun had already knocked on the door of the study while he was talking.
Chu Qiao was worried that Yi Qingchen would see that she was still standing here, so she could only go downstairs first.
"Finally down, mahjong is missing feet, and I'm about to go up and call you."
Chu Qiao glanced at the living room, only to find that Yi Shaojin was not there.
"What about the young people?"
"I said that I was in a hurry and went out, and I didn't know where I went."
"Little Joe, why is your face so ugly? Is there something uncomfortable? ”
Originally, the three of them sat far away, and as soon as Chu Qiao walked in, their pale faces immediately attracted their attention.
"No, maybe I haven't rested a little bit." She made an excuse at random.
It happened that the mobile phone in his hand kept ringing, and Chu Qiao walked to the side one after another.
"Mr. Sun, are you worried about me again?"
Sun Xiang was smiling heartily on the other end of the phone, sounding like he was in a good mood.
"Mr. Chu, do you remember someone?"
"Who?"
"Mija!"
"She?" Didn't you run away after setting a fire to Ying's house? Why did it appear in Sun Xiang's mouth again at this time?
"She probably wanted to look for you, but she didn't find you, so she found me."
"What is she looking for me?"
"She seems to have a hard time after running away, you know, a woman who is used to being a lover and doesn't know anything, she can't live without a lot of money, so she ventured back to Kyoto, just to get us some money to spend."
"Swap points?" Chu Qiao twisted his eyebrows slightly, falling into deep thought.
"Yes, she offered to help us do things, but when it was done, we needed us to give her a sum of money and send her out of the country safe and sound."
"What do you think?"
"I listen to you."
"It's up to you to arrange this matter, promise to come down for the time being, if she does well, it doesn't hurt to give more money."
"Okay, then I'll let her change her face and go to Miss Song's place to beg for a living."
Although Sun Xiang was vaguely unsteady in her heart, she believed that Chu Qiao's idea would definitely not be wrong, no matter what she did, she had already planned it in her heart.
"Hmm."
After Chu Qiao hung up the phone, he carefully pondered Mi Jia's matter, and then returned to the living room to chat with Yi Anning and them.
The three men of the Yi family discussed upstairs for a long time, and they didn't go downstairs until it was almost dinner, Chu Qiao was naturally anxious, but it was difficult to ask in front of so many people, so he could only look at Yi Qingchen with a blank look.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you after dinner."
"What about Shaojin? This girl hasn't come back yet? Yi Anning glanced at the crowd at the table.
"Shaoqing hasn't come back either, maybe the two of them will live in the world of two together." Yi Shaoxuan smiled and pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Cao Yin.
Cao Yin turned his face away angrily.
"Mom, your strength is really small, is the daughter of Governor Wan your own or am I your own?"
"If you can be as sensible as Qingchen, don't worry about me, I'll be your own child!"
A table of people couldn't help but laugh.
"Look at what you're saying, how can I take advantage of you? I'd better let you worry about it a little more. ”
"Okay Shaoxuan, do you really think that if I don't talk about you, you're doing the right thing?" The old man Yi Qingchen picked up the rice bowl impatiently, "I tossed a child out without saying hello to the family in advance, if you bring someone home to your mother earlier, your mother will not be angry like this." ”
"Grandpa, is that why my mom? It's not like you don't know, my mom is ......."
"Okay Shaoxuan, eat!"
If it weren't for Yi Beizhan to stop it in time, Yi Shaoxuan's "power eye" would have blurted out at his sight.
"Qiao girl, you're full?"
Seeing that Chu Qiao had already put down his rice bowl, Old Man Yi glanced at her bowl by the way, "I haven't eaten much, do you want to add more?" ”
"No, grandpa, I'm already full."
"Let's have a snack later, where does she have an appetite right now." Yi Qingchen also put down his rice bowl while speaking, "Picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of Chu Qiao's mouth, "Let's go, go upstairs." ”
As soon as he returned to the bedroom, Chu Qiao hurriedly asked, "How is Qingchen?" What did Grandpa say? Did you come up with any way to do it? ”
"Don't worry, sit down first."
Yi Qingchen helped her to the side of the sofa, "Do you remember the last time Jiang Shaoxiu took someone to Wen Yi'an's villa and wanted to kidnap you?" ”
As soon as he mentioned this, Chu Qiao immediately remembered.
Last time, it was because of his brother-in-law that Jiang Shaoxiu was able to return to Treasure Island safe and sound, and it is likely that some kind of tacit understanding was reached between the two, that is......
"In addition to Jiang Shaoxiu, there will be no second person in this matter." Chu Yun also told her the same thing at that time, but no matter how much she called her after yesterday, the phone on the other end would always be turned off.
"Well, and the next leader of the treasure island is undoubtedly him."
"Since the position is as stable as Mount Tai, why do you have to rush for a while? Jiang Hanwu will retire in a few years, won't this position still be his? ”
"I'm afraid that something has changed, if I'm not mistaken, Jiang Shaoxiu's identity has already attracted Jiang Hanwu's attention, and he has begun to investigate and even has some strong evidence, so it's hard to say who this position is after Jiang Hanwu retires, and there is a suspicious thing I don't know if you have found it."
"Huh?"
"Your father knew Su Wenlan's true face early in the morning, and even the true cause of your mother's death I had already told him, but he never took any action against Su Wenlan, don't you think it's suspicious?"
Chu Qiao sneered mockingly, "What's so suspicious about this?" She is the daughter of a famous family on Treasure Island, and she has the support of the entire Su family behind her, if Jiang Hanwu really wants to move her, it is not so easy, not to mention that once she divorces as a politician, I am afraid it will cause a great reaction from the people, of course, she can endure it. ”
"Do you really think that? The tragic death of the woman you love, do you think it's a trivial matter? Yi Qingchen stared at her seriously, "Little Qiao, you have to believe that this is the truth, your father really loves your mother." ”
"Yi Qingchen, are you joking with me? Tell me how to save Ian. ”
"Don't run away." He gently cupped her cheeks, "You can dislike your father, but you can't deny his feelings for your mother, it's not fair to him." ”
"Feelings? Then you say, if it's really like what you said, why didn't he divorce Su Wenlan? If I were him, I would be eager to kill Su Wenlan! ”
"It can only show that Su Wenlan has something very important in her hands, so important that even your father doesn't dare to touch her!"
"No, what can be so important? It's not ancient, there can be a jade seal or something. ”
"I don't know about this, let's investigate slowly, Jiang Shaoxiu's relationship with Su Wenlan is not good, it is just maintaining the surface, I think once Jiang Shaoxiu wants to attack Su Wenlan, then this thing will surface."
"And what about E'an?"
"My grandfather has an 'old acquaintance' on Treasure Island, and he will help send someone to find it privately, this matter is not in a hurry, after all, if there is a big movement, it will attract the attention of others."
"If I can help find it, then I will feel much more at ease, I just hope that Yi'an can be safe and sound." Chu Qiao relaxed slightly, and the expression on his face couldn't help but relax a lot.
"You care so much about Wen Yi'an, I'll be jealous." Wen Yi'an's thoughts about Chu Qiao, Yi Qingchen understood in his heart, but he had always followed the rules and did not do anything out of the ordinary, so he kept it in his stomach.
"Are you stupid or not, that's my brother and your brother-in-law."
He tilted his head, slightly stubborn, "Why did I suddenly have so many brothers-in-law, Ling Che and Wen Yi'an." ”
"Do you want to have more 'brothers'?"
Chu Qiao raised his eyebrows at him meaningfully, full of provocation.
Yi Shaoqing and Yi Shaojin did not return that night, and the news of the two kissing in a ski resort in the newspaper early the next morning was spread, and the two of them were handsome and affectionate in the picture.
Song Meijiao got up early in the morning and saw the newspaper on the dining table, and was so angry that she tore it on the spot.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you early in the morning?"
When Song Wan went downstairs, Song Meijiao was holding the dishes on the dining table and throwing them to the ground, and the servants on the side were too frightened to speak, and they all hid away with white faces.
Subconsciously frowned.
It shouldn't be menopause, but my temper has been getting worse and worse lately.
"This shameless person, after openly seducing our family Shaoqing, dared to make trouble in the newspaper so openly, she is destroying Shaoqing by doing so! Shaoqing is a person who wants to take a career in office, and the spread of such a thing will definitely have an impact on him in the future! ”
"Auntie, you know, Shaojin and that Chu Qiao get mixed together, even if you are well-behaved before, you will be ruined, after all, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black." Song Wan hooked the corners of her lips and showed a self-righteous smile, "If you want to never suffer in the future, then you must not be merciful." ”
She already knew about Song Meijiao's attack on Yi Shaojin last time, although it was a failure in the end, but she had already killed Yi Shaojin, so she might as well take advantage of it.
"Be ruthless, it's not like I haven't done it, that dead girl has a big life!"
"One fate is luck, and I don't believe there can be a second time."
Song Mei's eyes narrowed suddenly, and vicious thoughts began to ponder in her mind again.
Mi Jia, who was standing in the corner of the side, secretly recorded the scene that happened in front of her.
Chu Qiao thought that she could convince herself to accept Jiang Hanwu's imminent death, but in fact she couldn't, especially after listening to Yi Qingchen's words at night, somehow his majestic face kept appearing in her mind.
"Qingchen."
She sat up from the bed suddenly.
"What? Can't sleep? ”
"Hmm."
He got up and took her into his arms, "Thinking about your father?" ”
This is the first time that Yi Qingchen has used the word "father" in front of Chu Qiao to replace Jiang Hanwu's title, I don't know if Chu Qiao didn't hear it or acquiesced, in short, there was no reaction.
"It's only been a few days."
"Do you want to go to Treasure Island?" If Chu Qiao really wanted to go, he could only use that trick.
However, Chu Qiao shook his head, just snuggled in his arms, squinting quietly, like a quiet cat.
With Baodao's current situation, even if she is really allowed in, whether she can see Jiang Hanwu or not is two words, not to mention that she will give birth in another month, and she can't risk her own children.
She was selfish, and she had to be selfish too.
The treasure island has been looking for Wen Yi'an for three days in a row, and there is no news coming, Chu Qiao began to be anxious again, but fortunately, there is finally good news on the S side of the city, the kidney suitable for Lu Xuanxuan's father has been found, and the operation is very successful.
At that time, Yi Qingchen told her that Uncle Lu only had three days to live, but he survived, Wen Yi'an told her that her father had one week to live, so the probability of his survival should be greater than that of Uncle Lu, and now that Uncle Lu is all right, then he should also be able to get better soon.
However, things have always backfired.
In the early morning of the next day, a rapid phone ringing woke up the entire Yi family's old house, and Chu Qiao opened his eyes only to find that not only was the phone ringing, but Yi Qingchen's mobile phone was also ringing.
She glanced at Yi Qingchen, who was frowning in displeasure, and reached out to pick up the phone.
"Yi Dong, Mr. Jiang has gone!"
The originally groggy brain was awakened in an instant, and two lines of hot tears slipped down without warning at that moment.
"Yi Dong? Are you listening? ”
"I ...... Listening. ”
"Madame......" Xiao Jin didn't expect it to be Chu Qiao's call, he was really stunned for a moment, and then said, "Madame's day condolences." ”
"Hmm."
Xu felt her tears, and Yi Qingchen opened her eyes suddenly.
"Wife." His deep dark eyes were full of pity.
"It's nothing, I'm fine, it's a bit hypocritical to be pregnant."
"Good wife." He gently took her into his arms, "I told you, cry if you want to cry, laugh when you want to laugh, don't suppress yourself." ”
When the tears fell, she told herself that she only cried because of Yi Qingchen's words.
Such hot tears have never appeared since the year of his mother's death, they are gushing out of the blood, with a painful pain, even worse than when Pei Shaoxiu died.
"Qingchen."
Outside the door, it was the voice of the old man.
Soon, the door opened from time to time.
"Grandpa."
The door opened, and the old man looked at Yi Qingchen, and stopped talking.
"It's all there."
"Got it?"
"Hmm."
Old Man Yi's eyes were slightly red, and I don't know if it was because he hadn't slept enough or was sad.
"Comfort and comfort her, this girl is also a miserable person." Immediately afterward, there was another long sigh.
Chu Qiao hid in the quilt, biting his lower lip and letting strings of tears wet his cheeks.
"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you and I and your brother-in-law and others should go to Treasure Island to condole, if Qiao Yatou wants to go together, I will arrange it then."
"Grandpa, I want to go."
Chu Qiao suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up.
Her father was killed! She's not going to just give up!
"Alright, you guys should rest first, it's still early."
"Hmm."
However, Chu Qiao did not wait for the opportunity to condole.
When I got up in the morning, there was news from the treasure island, because Mr. Jiang Hanwu made a last wish before his death, and after his death, he did not make a big funeral, and after cremation, his cronies brought his ashes back to country Z to be buried with Chu Qiao's mother, so he refused to go to the funeral with the leaders of various countries.
Chu Qiao's eyes kept in tears when he heard Old Man Yi say this.
The moment she heard the old man say that her father had returned to the light before his death, and had been chanting her and her mother's names, tears finally fell uncontrollably.
Originally, she shouldn't have told her this, how could she afford such a big sorrow with a big belly, but Old Man Yi couldn't help but say it.
Chu Qiao is pitiful, and Jiang Hanwu is actually pitiful, because his sister has been a puppet of the Jiang family for a lifetime, and even if she dies, she can't be with her beloved and daughter.
"Little Joe, my grandfather may not have said this, crying like this during pregnancy hurts his eyes."
"Thank you for telling me." For so long, no matter what others say, she has always had a skeptical attitude towards Jiang Hanwu, but until this second, until the second when Old Man Yi told her these things, she suddenly hated her stubbornness.
Everyone has their own love, if it weren't for the appearance of Yi Qingchen, then she must be living a life of last resort today, she has long been smoothed out by the troubled life, and she can't be a willful Chu Qiao unscrupulously.
"When my father-in-law's ashes arrive, let's help him organize a funeral." Yi Qingchen suddenly spoke.
"However, my father's last wish is clearly ......"
"Do you really believe those nonsense, if you organize your father-in-law's funeral, it means that you must stop the mortuary for a few days for people to pay respects to the remains, these long days are a torment for someone all the time, after all, no one can say when something unexpected will happen, of course, it is to never be troubled, but even if he has a conscience, he knows how to send it back for his father-in-law and mother-in-law to be buried together."
"It's him again!" Jiang Shaoxiu, if it was really you, I would personally send you to hell!
"Is there still no news from Yi'an?"
Yi Qingchen didn't answer her directly, but said: "Relax, I will definitely be able to find him, tomorrow morning, my father-in-law's ashes will be sent from Baodao to Kyoto by a special plane, and we will pick him up together when the time comes, you go up and rest for a while, you look at the circle of green under your eyelids, you must have secretly woken up and cried last night, you have to rest well to have the energy to prepare for your father-in-law's funeral, you know?" ”
Chu Qiao's mind was in a mess, and she didn't listen to what Yi Qingchen said, but nodded politely.
She fell asleep this night, and when she woke up again it was already evening.
The Yi family, young and old, all sat in the living room downstairs worriedly, accusing Old Man Yi of not telling Chu Qiao about Jiang Hanwu's dying, after all, she was at a critical juncture and couldn't stand any stimulation.
As soon as they saw Chu Qiao coming downstairs, they all stopped.
"Little Joe, are you awake, are you hungry, what do you want to eat? Mom will cook it for you. ”
"You can't eat those things your mother makes, what do you want to eat, my aunt will make it for you."
"Come, I'll help you sit down first, it's so tired to stand all the time." Cao Yin gave Yi Shaoxuan a look and asked him to give up his position.
"I'm fine, nothing delicate, you don't have to worry." It's okay, it's just a little uncomfortable.
"Silly girl, let's not hold back, life is like this, loss and gain, has always been in an infinite loop, although the death of Mr. Jiang is sad, but from another point of view, this is actually a kind of gain for him, at least he can be buried with his beloved, and his daughter will always remember him as a father in her heart in the future."
Yi Anning took off her shawl and draped it on her with pity, "Although it is a bit inhumane for Mom to say this, but this is the truth, Mom only wants you to be happy, you and our family, we will always love you." ”
Chu Qiao nodded silently.
Yi Anning knew what she said, but she couldn't listen to it for a while, so she didn't continue to speak, for fear that if she said too much, it would make her sad.
Chu Qiao didn't cry when he went to the airport to pick up Jiang Hanwu's ashes, and Chu Qiao didn't cry at Jiang Hanwu's funeral.
Everyone was worried that she would suffocate herself, but after Chu Qiao came back from the funeral, she followed Yi Anning and them to play mahjong and buy New Year's goods as if she was nothing, and even Wen Yi'an, who had no news for more than half a month, no longer mentioned it, everything seemed to be resigned to fate.
