Chapter 85 An Olive Branch
"Why, I haven't disliked a married mute as my granddaughter-in-law, what are you dissatisfied with?" The strategy pursued by Old Man Ji all his life is to move his heart at will, so he didn't interfere when Ji Shenyan's mother made a mess of life, and others had no right to put their beaks in the choices they made. Even if her daughter chose to commit suicide in the end, Old Man Ji said lightly that she felt relieved, but she didn't shed a single tear.
Ji Shenyan knew that once his grandfather had any ideas, he had to complete them, and he didn't want Cen Man's already troubled life to add to the turmoil, but his grandfather blocked his words with no interest.
It seems that it is necessary for him to meet with Cen Man and remind her to pay attention, Ji Shenyan smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was going to lose sleep again tonight.
With Ji Shenyan in charge and Lei Song assisting, Cen Man is a hundred assured of the company's affairs. Ji Shenyan is delicate, everything at work is known to Cen Man, and the decision will not be followed up until Cen Man replies and agrees. In this regard, Cen Man is not grateful, but he doesn't dare to get along with Ji Shenyan as openly as before.
The person who targeted Huo Li could create a scandal of her derailment once and then make a second one, Cen Man didn't dare to take this risk, and he didn't want Huo Li to misunderstand. Recently, her relationship with Huo Li has been walking on thin ice, maintaining a polite distance on the surface, not that she is unwilling to get close to Huo Li, but that Huo Li simply refuses her overtures.
Cen Man wanted to try to sit down with Huo Li and talk to him several times, but he either avoided sensitive topics or looked at him, and that kind of mocking expression deeply pierced Cen Man's heart, making her timid and unwilling to be bored.
Mrs. Huo and Xiaoqin stayed together all day, not leaving Meng Meng, not knowing what to do in the room, and Zhang's mother's illness still did not improve.
Mrs. Huo blamed everything on Cen Man, in the past, she took Huo Mo's feelings into account and reprimanded Cen Man in front of the child, but now in the face of Zhang's mother's unconscious, Mrs. Huo seemed to be a different person. not only sneered at Cen Man at home, but even said bad things about Cen Man in front of Huo Mo.
The first time Mother Sun was worried about reporting this to Cen Man, Cen Man also felt very incredible. She was even more suspicious of Xiaoqin, who had been with Mrs. Huo almost twenty-four hours a day. Helplessly, how did she knock on the side, the other party was like an old god, Cen Man grabbed her and didn't let go, and the other party was speechless when she said a word: "Young lady, I am the servant of the Huo family, but not you, I tell you the truth, I just don't like you, but you can't fire me, I only listen to Mrs. alone, and what others say doesn't count." ”
Huo Li always goes out early and doesn't return home late, and Cen Man can't find anyone to discuss even if he wants to. can only try to separate Huo Mo and Mrs. Huo from the time they spend alone. Several times, Xiaomo asked her why her grandmother wanted to say that Ma Ma was a mourning star, and what did the mourning star mean, Cen Man could only half-coax and half-deceive her son to fool her over.
She repeatedly told Mother Sun that when Xiaoqin was present, she must be by Huo Mo's side and not leave no matter what happened. Cen Man has a sensitive intuition, the changes between Huo Li and Mrs. Huo are inseparable from this seemingly five big and three thick little piano.
She wanted to investigate Xiaoqin's background, and dialed Lang Jun's phone several times, but in the end she hung up without waiting for connection. Huo Li said, don't bother him if you have nothing to do, Huo's is the time to employ people, Lang Jun is Huo Li's most powerful assistant, Cen Man feels that he can't delay Huo Li's big things because of his selfishness.
But if she didn't figure out Xiaoqin's origin, she really couldn't rest assured, at this moment Ji Shenyan invited her to meet and talk about things, which was tantamount to handing Cen Man an olive branch, and she couldn't avoid suspicion, investigating someone was easy for Ji Shenyan, anyway, it was not a bad thing for the Huo family, at most it was her personal request, Cen Man comforted herself so much.
Cen Man hadn't gone out for a long time, and she didn't dare to let Mother Sun face Mrs. Huo and Xiaoqin alone, so she called Bai Annian to come to the house. Bai Annian expressed his gratitude for the matter of blocking Mrs. Huo, but knowing that Cen Man had something to ask Ji Shenyan for, he was a little entangled, and finally reluctantly agreed.
When Bai Annian arrived at the villa, Cen Man hurriedly explained a few words and went to the place where he had made an appointment with Ji Shenyan.
The last time the two met was in Huo Li's villa, Mrs. Huo took someone to the door to ask for the guilt, Huo Li followed, the scene was chaotic, and the situation between Cen Man and Ji Shenyan was full of contradictions.
When Cen Man sat down in front of Ji Shenyan, both of them didn't know what to say for a while. After a moment of silence, the two laughed in unison.
"Is your body well?" Ji Shenyan saw Cen Man's emaciation, and couldn't help but suspect that she had been abused at home.
Cen Man is not good at talking to Ji Shen about the miscarriage and recuperation, but fortunately, the other party is also very interesting, and when he saw Cen Man's embarrassed expression, he stopped asking.
After a few words of greetings, Ji Shenyan said today's topic: "Cen Man, if a strange person comes to you recently and talks about me, no matter who it is, you don't pay attention to him, and don't take his words to heart." ”
Cen Man nodded inexplicably, she didn't go out of the door, except for Huo Li's enemy, who else would come to her for trouble?
Cen Man also told Ji Shenyan about wanting to investigate Xiaoqin, and Ji Shenyan pondered for a while before asking keenly: "Why don't you let Huo Li help with this?" ”
Unexpectedly, Ji Shenyan's answer was not to answer on the spot, but to ask this embarrassing question.
Cen Man twisted the napkin in front of her uneasily, not knowing how to tell Ji Shenyan that the recent tension with Huo Li would make her unable to ask her husband for help calmly.
Cen Man had no choice but to find a reason, meaning that the matter involved Mrs. Huo, and it was all his own selfishness, so it was not good for Huo Li to interfere.
Ji Shenyan expressed his understanding, remembering his grandfather's words that he actually investigated other people's family affairs, and he was a little embarrassed to face Cen Man. But he still reassured Cen Man that he would give her an answer as soon as possible.
Cen Man breathed a sigh of relief, if Ji Shenyan rejected her, she really didn't know what to do. The two talked about the company and the interest class again, and Cen Manji was worried about the family, worried that Bai Annian and Mrs. Huo would have a conflict, and gradually became a little absent-minded. Ji Shenyan saw that she was uneasy, so she politely ended today's meeting and drove Cen Man home.
Parking the car at a distance from the villa, Ji Shen stopped talking, and finally said to Cen Man: "If you encounter any difficulties, I am willing to help you whenever you want, so please don't alienate our friendship because of the previous misunderstanding, okay?" This is the most blatant confession that Ji Shen can do.
Cen Man only realized that he intended to avoid suspicion when Ji Shenyan heard his sincere confession, and felt that he had failed the other party's kindness, and couldn't help but show a guilty expression to Ji Shenyan.
Ji Shenyan fiercely restrained his desire to hug the woman in front of him with his head bowed into his arms and tell his heartfelt desires, and quickly left.
Cen Man returned home and found that everything was peaceful. Bai Annian stayed in Huo Mo's room to play games with him, while Mrs. Huo hid back in her room and did not come out, and the two only met downstairs without any dispute.
Cen Man asked Bai Annian if she had seen Xiaoqin, Bai Annian told her that Xiaoqin had turned around twice, Bai Annian didn't pay attention to her conversation, and Cen Man was relieved.
She expressed her warm gratitude to Bai Annian. Cen Man sent people out and walked to the entrance, Bai Annian suddenly whispered to Cen Man with a serious face: "Cen Man, I think there is something wrong with Mrs. Huo. ”
Cen Man was taken aback, thinking that Mrs. Huo had still done something to embarrass Bai Annian, and couldn't help but regret a little, she really didn't have anyone she could trust to find Bai Annian to help, and she still shouldn't have pulled her friends in.
Bai Annian looked thoughtful, not noticing Cen Man's entanglement. Through Cen Man's description, she knew that Xiaoqin had now taken the place of Zhang's mother and had become Mrs. Huo's right-hand man. When she saw Mrs. Huo and Xiaoqin together in the living room, no matter how she looked at it, it was a bit out of harmony. Mrs. Huo's pride to the sky, even if Mother Zhang has served her for half her life, the old man who has served her for half her life is not as high as the blue eyes that Xiaoqin gets, Bai Annian even felt that when Mrs. Huo saw her appearance in the villa, her first reaction was to look at Xiaoqin's eyes.
What master would look at the look of a servant? Not to mention that when she was in Huo Mo's room, Xiaoqin came to visit her three times and twice, without Mrs. Huo's permission, how could a maid enter and leave the little master's room without permission?
Mrs. Huo would allow such a rough-faced maid to get close to her, which was already weird, not to mention that Mrs. Huo regarded Huo Mo as a treasure like an eyeball, and now she actually let people approach the little master at will outside her line of sight.
Recalling the uneasiness that rose in the depths of her heart when she met Mrs. Huo, Bai Annian stopped, what was wrong, she must think about it and remind Cen Man.
Bai Annian fell into hard thought, Cen Man gently pushed her and didn't react, thinking that Bai Annian was not feeling well, Cen Man touched Bai Annian's forehead with his small hand, it wasn't very hot, what's wrong with her?
When Cen Man's cold skin touched Bai Annian, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her head, and a terrifying conjecture came up, and Bai Annian shuddered violently.
Cen Man was taken aback by her reaction, Bai Annian grabbed Cen Man with his backhand, and looked upstairs in horror, the door of Mrs. Huo's room was still firmly closed, as if there was no such person in the room.
"Cen Man," Bai Annian tried to maintain a normal appearance, and said with a smile, "You can send me outside the gate." After speaking, she couldn't refuse, so he grabbed Cen Man's arm and couldn't help but say that he would take her out the door.
Cen Man involuntarily followed Bai Annian's footsteps and walked out, Bai Annian lowered his voice and whispered in her ear: "Listen to me, don't be afraid, don't stop, pretend to be normal." ”
Bai Annian took a deep breath before expressing the conjecture in his heart: "Cen Man, I suspect that Mrs. Huo has taken some psychotropic drugs. ”
