Chapter 203: Song Meijiao is released from prison
"Steward Lu, ask the servants if anyone saw my sapphire ring when they were tending to the bathroom on the first floor just now, and I remember it resting on the sink."
Chu Qiao searched for a long time in the bathroom on the first floor, but there was no trace of the sapphire ring that Yi Qingchen gave her.
"Okay ma'am, I'll ask."
As soon as he heard that Chu Qiao's ring was lost, Steward Lu was also anxious.
After a while, Steward Lu returned to the living room.
"Madam, there were a lot of servants who went in just now, but they all said that they didn't see the ring, or let's adjust the monitoring to see who else has gone in, and the investigation is also more aspect."
"Well, that's fine."
"Aunt Chu, I don't understand this question a little, can you read it to me, I still can't keep up with my English." Lin Yueyue walked to Chu Qiao's side with an exercise book in her hand.
"Okay, you come and sit here."
Chu Qiao glanced at Steward Lu, who nodded knowingly and retreated.
Lin Yueyue's background is relatively poor, and she has just come to Brittany Manor, if she knows that something has been lost in the manor, she will definitely feel a burden in her heart.
Chu Qiao remembered that when she was in junior high school, she lived in the school for a month, and the girls in the same dormitory lost their money, and the whole dormitory became suspects.
She carefully read this English inscription to Lin Yueyue, and then translated it word by word.
"Thank you, Aunt Chu, you speak English better than our teacher."
"Auntie has studied in the UK before, others haven't learned, English is quite slippery, and when your Uncle Wen is busy in the past two days, I asked him to find you an English tutor, so that you can keep up with the progress of your classmates as soon as possible."
When Chu Qiao said "Britain", a blush of happiness unconsciously appeared on his face.
Because I went to study in the UK, I later married a little British devil, fate, sometimes it's really a wonderful thing.
"Really? Auntie, will you help me get a tutor? Although she doesn't love learning so much, in her opinion, this is a symbol of money in the family, especially a tutor, so much money for an hour, if the family conditions are not good, who can afford it?
"Silly boy, why don't you hire a tutor, when you learn English well, if you want to study abroad, your aunt will send you there."
"Thank you, Auntie, Yueyue will not forget Auntie's great kindness."
Lin Yueyue has a special paranoia about English, because she has heard the servants say that Yi Qingchen is British, so she must learn English well, and she looks forward to being able to communicate with him fluently in English in the future.
"Silly boy, you don't have to be so polite with your aunt, as long as you can have a good future, your aunt will rest assured."
Although she couldn't save the lives of the Lin family and his wife by doing this, she could be regarded as doing her best.
"Well, I remember."
Lin Yueyue nodded, "Auntie, I'll continue to do my homework." ”
"Okay, go ahead, I'll have lunch later, and I'll have someone go up and call you."
Not long after Lin Yueyue left, Steward Lu walked in.
"Madam, I don't know where the line is burning, all the rooms in the monitoring room are out of power, the bodyguards have been investigating one by one since just now, and there should be results soon."
"The line is burning?"
Chu Qiao's first reaction was that this matter was man-made, and all the facilities in Brittany Manor were far more cautious than any mansion, and under normal circumstances, there would be no short-circuit problem at all.
But she really couldn't figure it out, who was doing with her sapphire ring?
The things that Yi Qingchen gave her have always been unique, as long as she sends a random photo out, this thing can't be sold at all, and if you steal it, it's a white steal.
After about five or six minutes, Steward Lu walked into the living room again.
"Madam, it's been found out, someone has moved in the wall lamp at the corner of the stairs on the third floor, so it caused the entire floor of the third floor to lose power, although I don't know who did it for the time being, but it's obviously our own internal personnel, at least TA knows that the location is just a blind spot, and the monitoring can't be illuminated."
"So what does it mean now that the surveillance didn't capture who went into the bathroom on the first floor and took my ring?"
The originally lazy face finally had a trace of undulating emotions.
Almost instantly, she denied that it was the servants or bodyguards of the manor who had tampered with the ring because they were greedy for money, because they knew better than anyone that no buyer would dare to take what was flowing out of Brittany's manor.
The old drama is happening again, only this time I don't know who is silently leading all this behind the scenes.
"Madam, do you want to gather all the people in the manor and ask?"
"No need, no one will admit it if you ask, don't make a noise about this matter first, you will ask Assistant Wen to send someone to check the movements of everyone in our manor during this time, if it is really someone outside who buys off the people inside us, there will definitely be a move."
"There's one more thing you want to be aware of." Chu Qiao suddenly remembered something, and said: "Yueyue, this child may be more sensitive, but I still need to pay attention to this in front of her." ”
"Yes ma'am, I see."
Steward Lu saluted respectfully, "Then I'll go and let someone prepare lunch first." ”
"Go ahead."
Chu Qiao shook her hand, and just as Sun Xiang made a phone call and came in, she thought about it and picked it up.
"It's been a long time, Mr. Chu."
Although Sun Xiang's voice sounded as good as before, Chu Qiao always felt that something was wrong, so he could only say politely: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I traveled abroad with Qingchen for a while, so I haven't contacted you yet." ”
The news of her wedding with Yi Qingchen was completely blocked from the outside world, and the invitations were all relatives and friends of the two, so outsiders didn't know about it at all.
"I originally planned to go to see you, but my health has been bad during this time, and I was afraid that I would be sick to you, so I didn't dare to come to the door to disturb, a few days ago I heard that Shaojin was about to get married, so I thought about calling and asking first, and the more time I had to prepare the gift, it would not be so rude."
"It's just this month.,It's not been long.,I've been preparing an invitation in the past few days.,It should be delivered to your house soon.,It's hard for you to be so hearty.,In fact, gifts look at the heart.,Don't spend too much time on it.,Just get your heart."
Sun Xiang is a smart person, naturally she can't guess that the people on Chu Qiao's side are wary of her, she called this call, it is nothing more than a test to find out whether Yi Shaojin's wedding has her part in attendance, after all, it is a fact that befriending Chu Qiao can make her company's business flourish, if Yi Shaojin's wedding does not invite her to attend, I am afraid she should also start to go downhill.
"That's good, I want to bless the couple in advance, and I'll go back and choose a suitable gift in person, which can be regarded as a gesture of gratitude."
"Okay, I've thanked you on behalf of the two of them, and when you get better, come and sit with me, we haven't had afternoon tea together for a long time."
Chu Qiao's voice was still polite, and he couldn't hear anything unusual at all, or there was nothing unusual in the first place.
"Okay, then we'll settle it."
Chu Qiao hung up the phone, and a maid came in to invite him to lunch, but he saw Lin Yueyue walking towards this side with a backpack on her back.
"Yueyue, it's time for lunch, why are you going?"
"Oh, I just wanted to tell you about my classmate's birthday, and invited me to their house for lunch." Lin Yueyue shook the small gift box with a lilac bow in her hand at her, "I promised her to go after finishing her homework, who knew it would take so long to finish." ”
"Then you can go quickly." Chu Qiao wanted to say that she would let the driver send her, but when she thought of Wen Yi'an's words, she finally swallowed back.
"Well, then I'll go first."
Lin Yueyue waved at her and went out happily.
In the afternoon of the same day, Yi Qingchen, who was listening to Steward Lu's report on the loss of rings that had occurred in the manor before, suddenly received an MMS message.
The photo is the sapphire ring that Chu Qiao lost in the bathroom in the morning.
After a while, his cell phone rang.
He picked up the phone with a smile, a hint of disdain at the corners of his thin lips.
"Mr. Stuart, I think maybe we should have a good talk."
Jiang Shaoxiu's voice was obviously a little more calm than the last time.
"Talk? Sorry, I'm not interested. ”
"Isn't Mr. Stuart interested in the photograph either? I think you're more familiar with this ring than I am, right? ”
Yi Qingchen laughed, and finally realized why he lost Chu Qiao's ring, and why did he receive such a photo.
I see.
It seems that Jiang Shaoxiu's IQ has really been dragged down by many matters on the treasure island, and he can't keep up at all.
"If Mr. Jiang likes it, keep it, such sapphire rings abound in my Q Group's jewelry company, if you are not enough, when a new mine is opened this year, I will send someone to send you more past, the treasures in the eyes of the world are just stones in my place."
"Mr. Stuart is really wealthy, but this one, I'm afraid it's not as simple as you said, I'll stop at some words, as long as you can help me sit firmly in the position of the first leader of the treasure island, maybe one day it will return to your hands."
If it weren't for the fact that the Baodao military had been obstructed in the purchase of arms as Yi Qingchen said, and the old Stuart had not been able to contact him, he would not want to offend Yi Qingchen head-on, after all, now is not the time.
Yi Qingchen pulled the corners of his lips disdainfully, "I said it, if you want it, I'll give it to you." ”
"Mr. Stuart, have you really thought about it? This thing is related to your net worth and life, girl, I have given up, I just want to take care of the things that my father has explained, so I hope you can do it. ”
Jiang Shaoxiu was worried that the strength was not enough, and he deliberately added: "You know, if I really want to use some crooked brains, just this no ring is enough, isn't it?" ”
Yi Qingchen finally ran out of patience and hung up the phone directly.
For stupid people, he really has no perfunctory interest at all.
Not long after, the call from my brother-in-law came as promised.
Yi Qingchen didn't look at it, directly stuffed the phone into the drawer, got up and walked out of the study.
"Sir, if you don't answer the phone, I'm afraid Mr. Xi will have an idea."
Wen Yi'an was standing aside just now, he could understand everything, and he couldn't help but worry at this moment.
"He'll understand, how is Su Wenlan's arrangement?"
"Almost, if there is no accident, there will be a lot of news on the world's major well-known forum websites tonight, and she has a letter in her hand that can prove that Mr. Jiang Hanwu is not the biological son of the Jiang family, so Jiang Shaoxiu will no longer be qualified to sit in the current position regardless of whether he is related to Mr. Jiang Hanwu or not."
"Is it the one that Jiang Shaoxiu gave to Chu Qiao before?"
"Yes, in fact, Su Wenlan found out about this letter a long time ago, and she secretly copied it a long time ago."
"Well, let's do it." If it weren't for the persuasion of his brother-in-law several times, he would have stabbed this matter out a long time ago, and now Jiang Shaoxiu himself wants to get rid of the Su family first, and he can't complain about him if he invites Su Wenlan's revenge.
"I guess Jiang Shaoxiu should have been coerced by Su Wenlan because of this letter, so he used the most direct method to gag her mouth."
In fact, Wen Yi'an completely disagreed with Jiang Shaoxiu's behavior, a man would actually sell his hue in exchange for the stability of his position.
It is no wonder that Jiang Shaoxiu became more and more unsteady later, so much so that he tried every means to get rid of Su Wenlan and the Su family.
"Well, presumably my father-in-law is also because of this, after all, my aunt tried her best to insert him into the Jiang family back then, messing up the bloodline of the Jiang family, if this matter is poked out, then my aunt's years of hard work will be in vain."
Yi Qingchen shook his hand, "Go ahead." ”
That night, as Wen Yi'an said, all the forum websites were screened by a handwritten letter from the senior leaders on the treasure island, illustrating and explaining in detail the fact that Jiang Hanwu and Jiang Shaoxiu were not descendants of the Jiang family, and this bombing news made domestic and foreign explosions for a while.
Chu Qiao's hand holding the tablet shook violently.
"Qingchen, what did you do?"
"Su Wenlan."
"That's good, otherwise this aunt has been lurking in the Jiang family for so many years before she buried it, if you expose it, how will your grandfather and sister-in-law clean you up when you see it!"
"If there is no old one, there will naturally be a new one, the little sister-in-law understands it in his heart, don't worry."
"That Jiang Shaoxiu ......"
"Whether it is good or bad in the future, it is his life, but all this is restored."
Yi Qingchen suddenly remembered Pei Shaoxiu, who had been deeply ingrained in Chu Qiao's heart, and was silent at the moment, "Wife, ...... you"
"Don't think about it, I'm just asking, if he is really my father-killing enemy, he can't run."
"Leave this matter to me, and I will send someone to find out."
"Hmm."
In fact, if there was no Yi Qingchen behind his back, Jiang Shaoxiu would never have been able to get down from that high position so quickly, and he would not have any chance to struggle against Yi Qingchen's strength.
Soon, the Xi family secretly arranged for a more suitable person to take over the treasure island, and Jiang Shaoxiu, who had nothing, was also arrested, and on the same day, the Su family and Su Wenlan, including more than a dozen people, were also imprisoned in the treasure island prison to wait for investigation.
Chu Qiao sat quietly and listened to Wen Yi'an finish narrating the whole thing, and there were countless feelings on the way.
"Madam, Miss Shaojin's phone."
"Give it to me."
She took the phone from Steward Lu's hand, but heard Yi Shaojin's voice a little hoarse.
"What's wrong?"
"Yes...... It's my mom...... She had cancer. ”
"Cancer?"
Chu Qiao couldn't help frowning slightly.
How did you get cancer? Hasn't Song Meijiao always been in good health? She has always been checked regularly in prison.
"Well, stomach cancer."
Yi Shaojin's voice was a little low, "Xiao Qiao, you say, am I a nemesis?" My own mother also had cancer, and now she is too, you say, am I the one who killed them? It's no wonder they don't like me anymore, they don't like me right, at least they don't like me to live a little longer. ”
When she thought of Li Keli, who later committed suicide because of self-blame, she felt that she had mixed feelings in her heart, and she was inexplicably a little more sad.
"Stupid or not, it's the most stupid thing to say such a thing, Song Meijiao has lived with you for so many years, if you restrain her, can she still live until now? Don't think about it yet, where are you now? ”
"I'm in the military hospital, and she won't let Shaoqing tell about it, so I'm alone."
"Okay, I'll do it now."
Chu Qiao hung up the phone and hurriedly asked the driver to send her to the military hospital.
In the pale ward, Song Meijiao, who was dressed in a hospital gown, looked obviously weaker than the previous two days, although she was lying on the hospital bed with half-squinted eyes, but the Buddha beads in her hand never stopped turning.
"You're here."
Hearing Yi Shaojin's voice, Song Meijiao slowly opened her eyes, and looked at Chu Qiao with slightly blank eyes, revealing a smile as pure as at the beginning.
Chu Qiao was awkward for a while, and finally shouted "Auntie", not for anything else, just for the familiar long-lost smile just now.
Song Meijiao said hello to her, then continued to close her eyes and began to take a nap, without speaking, and the ward was terrifyingly quiet for a while.
"Mom, Xiao Qiao and I are outside in the living room, you call me if you have something."
"Well, go ahead."
Yi Shaojin closed the door lightly.
"What did the doctor say?"
Yi Shaojin shook his head, "The doctor said that it is unlikely to be cured, even if it is chemotherapy, it will only be a matter of the past few months, but my mother disagreed, she said that she would not have chemotherapy, she said that she didn't want her hair to fall out and then leave, anyway, people will die sooner or later, it is better to be completely complete." ”
Hearing this, Chu Qiao suddenly felt that his heart was very sour, and he sighed, and could only say, "Go back and persuade her." ”
"Well, I plan to do the same, Shaoqing and I are about to get married, and she doesn't have much time, I want to go and plead with my grandfather, let me take her out of it, so that I can go in my own home, and it can be regarded as the only thing we can do for her as children in the end."
"That's fine, maybe after attending your wedding, you'll be in a better mood and your body will be better, people's bodies are never sure."
Seeing Chu Qiao's agreement, Yi Shaojin finally had a smile on his face.
As long as Chu Qiao agrees, it will be easier for Old Man Yi to communicate.
Because they were worried about this matter, they deliberately chose to go back to the old house that night.
At the dinner table, when Yi Shaojin mentioned this matter for the first time, Old Man Yi slapped the table directly.
"Eat and sleep, do you still want me to teach this truth?"
Yi Shaoqing quietly tugged at Yi Shaojin's sleeve and motioned her to stop talking.
"Grandpa, I only have one wish, I hope that my parents will attend my wedding, and my mother already knows that she is wrong, she now eats fasting and recites Buddha every day, and she will never be like this before."
Old Man Yi coldly put down his chopsticks, "Eat fasting and chant Buddha, she doesn't defile the Buddha!" I won't agree to this. ”
Finally, now that everything is almost cleaned up, wouldn't it be self-inflicting trouble to release her again?
"Grandpa, I beg you......"
"If it is useful, Lao Tzu will not be a marshal!"
"Grandpa......"
"Okay, Shaojin, don't talk about it yet, eat first."
Yi Shaoqing patted her hand and motioned for her not to continue.
"Grandpa, can I talk to you alone after dinner?"
Chu Qiao, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth.
Yi Qingchen glanced at her curiously, and had already guessed in his heart that it must be Yi Shaojin who went to Chu Qiao to move the rescuers again.
"Well, come to the study after dinner later."
Yi Qingchen could guess that Old Man Yi was naturally not confused, but Chu Qiao was just pregnant now, and he didn't want her to be emotional, so he would inevitably be more indulgent.
Yi Qingchen, this stinky boy, even dug out the old roots that he had buried on the treasure island for so many years for this girl, and he didn't want to stimulate him to do something unexpected.
"Thank you, grandpa."
Chu Qiao smiled and winked at Yi Shaojin, who immediately picked up the chopsticks to eat honestly.
After dinner, Chu Qiao specially took Song Meijiao's medical records from Yi Shaojin, and then knocked softly on the door of Old Man Yi's study.
"Come in."
"Grandpa."
"Do you want to talk about Song Meijiao?"
Old man Yi knew it in his heart, so he naturally didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, so he said directly.
"Well, I hope Grandpa you will agree to let her out of prison, she is not a few months away."
When Chu Qiao spoke, he handed the medical record to Old Man Yi.
"This is her case, stomach cancer, even if she has chemotherapy, it is only a matter of these months, so we hope to let her come out and get through these last few months."
"You two children, you are so kind, the snake can bite people before they die, let alone people who go crazy."
"Don't worry, I will find someone to keep an eye on her at all times, and I will never let her hurt Shaojin for half a point, after all, she raised Shaojin since she was a child, if you don't have a little feeling, it can't be said, please fulfill Shaojin's wish."
Old Man Yi sighed, and shook his hand helplessly, "Whatever you want, you children, you can't remember after suffering so many losses." ”
"Thank you, Grandpa."
