Chapter 257: A Coincidence Nine Years Ago
The end of October was Meng Xiao's birthday, and last year, she was still in a wheelchair and receiving blessings from nurses Qian at the rehabilitation center.
At that time, how could I have thought that a year later, she married Liang Chen, was pregnant with a baby, and her legs could walk like a normal person.
She no longer hates her birthday, this day no longer means reminding her of the hellish home that gave her life, but on this day, the people around her who love her now are happy and blessed for her.
Grandma and Mom took Meng Xiao back to celebrate, preparing a rich birthday gift and dinner for her, but Yun En and Jiang Rin were on the way to suddenly call and say that they would arrive later due to some delays, and should not wait for them to eat.
It was a private detective's phone call that made Jiang Rin change direction, and instead of sending information by email, he made an appointment to meet directly, which can be seen as a very important clue.
On the way there, Yun En's heart was beating fast, but she refused Jiang Rin to let her wait in the car, and she had to face her mother's affairs bravely.
"The sons of Qin Zhongguo and Zhuang Ruzhen went abroad to study nine years ago." The private detective put down a photo and information, and said seriously, "You already know about his recent acute leukemia, but I found that he is currently in a very unstable mental state and has begun to receive medication." And before he left the country nine years ago, he had undergone psychotherapy. Whether it's psychotherapy or studying abroad, it all happened nine years ago, not long after your mother's accident, I think this clue is worth investigating. ”
Yun En stared straight at the things on the table, and unconsciously clenched his fists.
Jiang Rin carefully flipped through the information and photos, and several of them were of a young man in a wheelchair, wearing a mask, and staring in the sun with dull eyes.
"Is this their son?" Jiang Rin asked, "How is his condition now?" ”
"It's not good, it feels like it's more breathless than a dead man." The private investigator said, "In the past few days, I have been to the hospital three times, two times to the general hospital, which should be for a re-examination, and once to this private hospital for psychiatry." ”
Jiang Rin heard Yun En mention that when she accompanied Liang Chen's mother to get medicine, she met Zhuang Ruzhen in this hospital, and sure enough, the person who was sick was not her, but her son.
"If you find this clue valuable, I'll investigate further." The private detective said, "There are so many coincidences, it can't be just a coincidence, I believe it has something to do with the events of the year, but considering that this patient is very weak, it will take me a certain amount of time to get close to him." ”
Yun En was the first to speak: "I want to know more things, the situation of this person when he was studying in the United States, the photo of him not wearing a mask, I want it." How much does it cost to investigate this, you just have to make an offer, as long as you can find out what I want to know. ”
"I'll communicate with you after the estimate." The private detective said, "Including Qin Zhongguo and Zhuang Ruzhen himself, I will check the information for you in the past nine years." ”
"In the surveillance near the place where my mother had an accident, a fake car was found, and you can check the car purchase records of their family again." Yun En looked at the private investigator with a cold gaze, "I want to know everything." ”
I never expected that I would see blood when I went down with a knife, and I checked it from a different angle, and immediately found such a coincidental clue, not seven years or eight years, just right, all this happened after my mother's accident nine years ago.
Is the murderer Zhuang Ruzhen, or her son?
Yun En drank the water in the cup in one gulp and said to Jiang Rin, "Let's go, we have to celebrate Meng Xiao's birthday." ”
Jiang Rin shook his head: "Let's go home, go home and rest." ”
Yun En's breath was very rapid, but looking at himself in Jiang Rin's eyes, he gradually calmed down and promised, "Okay, let's go home." ”
On the Liang family's side, the birthday banquet has been eaten for a long time, Liang Zhenmin still specially pushed off the entertainment and rushed back to celebrate his daughter-in-law, Liang Chen secretly poked and said to his wife: "He never celebrated my birthday." ”
Jiang Rin and Yun En never came, but the grandmother was very worried and urged her grandson: "Call and ask, don't have anything, will you meet on the road?" ”
Coincidentally, Jiang Rin also called, saying that Yun En was not feeling well and wanted to go back first, Liang Chen didn't ask much, and after telling his family, after the birthday banquet was over at night, he took Meng Xiao directly to Jiang Rin's house.
Yun En was busy in her studio, and as soon as she came back, she went in, as if she wanted to vent the excess negative energy in her body, Jiang Rin didn't ask or stop it, until this moment, Meng Xiao knocked on the door gently.
"I'm stringing beads." Yun En raised his tired eyes and said, "A new kind of string method, I want to practice it." Happy birthday, dear, for your gifts...... It should be downstairs. ”
"It's okay, Liang Chen and I are very worried about you, we guessed that it should be a private detective who contacted you, but I didn't expect him to be so fast." Meng Xiao said, "I also heard Jiang Rin say it just now. ”
Yun En put away the things on the table and said as if talking to himself, "If it were them, I wouldn't let them go." ”
Meng Xiao's heart trembled and he didn't speak.
Yun En's hand clenched a handful of beads tightly: "I actually ...... It's disgusting to want to save her son......"
At this moment, downstairs, Jiang Rin opened a bottle of red wine, and Liang Chen said that he wanted to drive, but declined.
Mr. Jiang rarely needed to rely on alcohol to calm himself, and he let out a long breath: "She even wants to save their son, if she finds clues and proves that her mother's death is related to them, Yun En will be disgusted to death by herself." ”
Liang Chen also sighed: "At this moment, I hope it has nothing to do with them, I hope it's just a coincidence, so that Yun En's heart can be calmer." ”
Jiang Rin said: "My uncle talked to me and hoped that I could intervene in the investigation, that is, not to give Yun En the truth, just maintain the status quo, and let her not fall into hatred." But I thought about it for a long time, knowing the truth and falling into hatred are not the same thing, and I don't want to hide it from her. ”
"I'm on your side." Liang Chen said, "It was Yun En who experienced the pain alone back then, even Uncle Changfeng and Grandma couldn't be as painful as her." ”
Jiang Rin looked at Liang Chen, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "I'm worried about ......"
As soon as Meng Xiao's birthday passed, it was November, and the company's pre-sale results on Double 11 were very satisfactory, and the current pre-sale ranking, the sales of a pair of pointed-toe ankle boots designed by Yun En surpassed Wang Ruo and ranked first.
This is something that Yun En didn't expect, but the real data will not deceive people, according to the data analysis of the mid-year promotion, there are very few customers who run orders when they rush to buy at zero, and their company itself is not looking for someone to brush sales, and the numbers seen in the eyes are real.
For her mother's business, Yun En, who had been in a gloomy mood for a while, finally became happy, in the past six months, her sense of presence in the company has become lower and lower, and even the final report of the summer store inspection is also reported by the team, and no one has received special praise, but 70% of the content of the report is her hard work.
But now none of this matters, the customer's preferences and choices are the most practical and effective encouragement.
The annual Double 11 is the first time for his company to participate in an online event, and there is a mid-year promotion to lay the foundation, everyone is excited and nervous, Jiang Rin also stays in front of the computer in the middle of the night, waiting for the data report of his colleagues.
As Yun En was brewing his second pot of coffee in the kitchen, he received the good news that they had doubled their sales for the entire mid-year sale in just one hour.
"This press conference and follow-up PR are very good." Jiang Rin came to the kitchen and said to Yun En, "I will go back to the company tomorrow for a meeting, and I will reorganize the events of last month and pass them on as an internal case within the company." ”
Yun En held the bag of coffee beans and looked at Jiang Rin with a smile: "I always feel that you are not the same as a year ago, less and less like a designer, but like a businessman." ”
Jiang Rin said with a smile: "My master told me that creating a living environment for designers is also one of the missions of designers, and I want to create a good environment for you to become the best designer." ”
Yun En was excited, pushed Jiang Rin and said, "Quickly ask who has the best shoes, Wang Ruo said that if you lose to me, buy me LaPrairie's Night Essence." ”
But in the end, the chief is the chief, Wang Ruo's status in the rivers and lakes is not something that Yun En can easily overthrow, although Yun En is slightly better in the pre-sale rankings, but in the end, the 24-hour sales data of Double Eleven, the top three are all shoes designed by Wang Ruo, and Yun En only won the fourth and sixth places.
But Yun En was still very happy with this achievement, and Mr. Jiang also bought the night essence she wanted.
On the weekend after Double 11, Meng Xiao accompanied Liang Chen's mother to recheck and get medicine, and in the corridor outside the clinic, she met Zhuang Ruzhen who was sitting on the sofa crying, and Liang Chen's mother saw it first, and said to her: "Xiaoxiao, look, that person came again last time." ”
