Chapter Twenty-Six: Don't You Like It?
Qin Menglin finally returned to the villa alone.
She didn't know where Ling Junfeng went, although she admitted that she was more or less curious, but Ling Junfeng was not there, she had more time and freedom to investigate the truth of the matter.
During her time in the United States, she did not have acquaintances, and soon she found a former friend who was also a private investigator.
"Miss Qin, long time no see."
The person who spoke was a man in a black jacket, the man was wearing a peaked cap, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but from this familiar tone, Qin Menglin still recognized the other party at the first time.
"Mike, you should know that I'm not much of a lady anymore."
Qin Menglin smiled self-deprecatingly, she believed that with the strength of the other party, she should be very clear about everything that had happened to her in recent days.
At this time, the man had already walked in, and he naturally sat down on the sofa, and then he lowered his voice and laughed.
"The world is impermanent, you should look away."
Look away?
She wouldn't have been able to see it all until she had all of this clear.
"Stop talking nonsense, tell me what you know."
The man leaned back on the sofa and raised his eyes to look at her, under the cap was an ordinary face, which could be forgotten in an instant when put into the sea of people, but it was such an ordinary man, but he had a pair of shrewd eyes.
"What you know is what I know."
Qin Menglin frowned when she heard this.
"Can't you even know anything else? Do you really not know who my father and my mother came into contact with in the end? ”
The man smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders before answering, his tone revealing a sense of helplessness.
"I'm sorry, but it's not out of my reach."
"And who's going to find out about that?"
The man seemed to think for a moment, then smiled.
"The answer must be something you don't want to hear."
"Yes... Ling Junfeng? ”
The man smiled noncommittally.
Qin Menglin instantly understood.
Sure enough, this matter is so complicated, she really can't do anything with her strength alone.
Maybe for now, she really has to choose to dance with wolves.
When Ling Junfeng returned to the villa, Qin Menglin was waiting for her alone in the hall.
No running away, no noise, are you starting to learn to behave?
Ling Junfeng took off his coat and put it aside, then walked to Qin Menglin and sat down, to his surprise, it was rare that the other party didn't get up and leave immediately.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Waiting for me to come back?"
Qin Menglin's expression seemed to be a little uncomfortable, but when she thought of the most important thing at the moment, she reluctantly nodded lightly.
Seeing this, the smile on the corner of Ling Junfeng's mouth deepened slightly.
"Have you eaten?"
Qin Menglin shook her head.
After sending Mike away, she had been sitting in the hall, where could she remember eating.
"What do you want to eat?"
She still shook her head.
Ling Junfeng frowned slightly.
"Do you want to go out and eat or can't eat? If you don't want to go out to eat, I'll make it for you at home. ”
Home?
Where else does she have a home?
Qin Menglin lowered her head slightly, and her eyes were a little red.
After such a long time, it seemed like she was about to start forgetting about home.
Seeing Qin Menglin bowing her head and being silent, Ling Junfeng's brows furrowed more and more, and his body couldn't help but lean forward a little.
"What's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable? ”
Qin Menglin shook her head again, seemingly inadvertently wiping her face, and then raised her head.
"I'm fine."
It's okay?
Looking at the other party's eyes, which were still a little red, Ling Junfeng only felt a pain in his heart, as if he had been greatly wronged.
Or is it because of what happened before?
Ling Junfeng suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Qin Menglin in front of him into his arms.
Qin Menglin, who came back to her senses, naturally wanted to break free for the first time.
"What are you doing?"
Ling Junfeng's hand holding Qin Menglin became a little harder.
"I told you and me."
The sound of a man's strong heartbeat was heard in his ears, and the warm touch spread from his fingertips to the bottom of his heart.
If Qin Menglin was just a little girl who didn't know anything about the world at this time, she might have been intoxicated by the other party's gentle embrace by now.
But right now, she is a woman who is burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, a woman who has lost everything, and she must be sober.
Her voice sounded too calm.
"You let go of me, I have something to say to you."
An imperceptible trace of loss flashed in Ling Junfeng's eyes.
"Say it."
When he said this, Ling Junfeng had already let go of his hand.
The familiar sense of loss emerged from the bottom of her heart again, and Qin Menglin forcibly suppressed it with what little reason she had left.
"How much do you know about the Qin family?"
Ling Junfeng froze slightly when he heard this, this woman was so well-behaved and sensible waiting for him, just to ask this question?
But at the moment, I'm afraid it's not something she can meddle in.
"I don't know, I'm not interested in looking into these."
Ling Junfeng's gaze drifted away slightly, as if he was deliberately avoiding the other party's questioning.
However, in Qin Menglin's opinion, such a move seemed to mean something else.
"You must know something, with the strength of your Ling family, if you want to know something, you must know it."
Qin Menglin's emotions were a little excited.
After all, at the moment, it seemed that she could only grasp Ling Junfeng's only possibility.
This woman...
A hint of fierceness flashed in Ling Junfeng's eyes, and then he turned his back and replied in a cold tone.
"No, neither the Ling family nor I want to wade into this troubled water."
"You!"
Qin Menglin stood up instantly, but in the next second, she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.
In order to investigate the truth of the matter, she can do anything, and it is naturally okay to swallow her anger.
She took several deep breaths before she spoke slowly, her tone much calmer than before.
"I'm begging you, I want to know the truth of the matter, let me give anything."
Ling Junfeng's heart moved.
The pitiful tone of the woman behind him really distressed him, but if he relented at this time, I am afraid that he will regret it in the future.
He couldn't easily pull her into the water until he was completely sure.
"What leverage do you think you have to bargain with me?"
Ling Junfeng's mocking tone pierced Qin Menglin's heart.
Now that the Qin family's family business is gone, she herself has long belonged to the man in front of her, so what is she left to negotiate terms with this man?
It's her who overestimates herself.
"I see."
Qin Menglin answered in a low voice, didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the room.
At the same time, at the moment when Qin Menglin turned around, Ling Junfeng turned around almost at the same time.
He opened his mouth to stop the other party, but the words came to his lips and he still swallowed them raw.
Although it seems that he is indeed a little cruel and ruthless at the moment, it may be that the most important thing is to ensure her safety first than temporary warmth.
As for the rest...
I'll talk about that later.
After returning to the room, Qin Menglin lay herself down on the soft big bed, staring at the ceiling above her head in a daze.
Every word Ling Junfeng had just said was still clearly replayed in her mind.
I thought that she would put herself in the dust, which would always make the other party have a little pity for her.
But for now, she is just self-righteous.
What to do?
What should I do?
She didn't have the slightest way to get to the bottom of the matter, and it was hard to even know where to start.
Father... Mother...
Her eyes were unconsciously reddened slightly.
However, just when she was deeply trapped in self-blame and sadness, the sudden ringing of her mobile phone pulled her back to reality.
She wiped away her tears and pulled out her phone to look at it.
Seeing the unfamiliar number flashing on the mobile phone screen, she frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and still connected the phone.
"Hey."
She struggled to make her voice sound less sad.
I didn't think that the other party still heard something wrong for the first time.
"Hey, sister-in-law, are you crying?"
It's Ling Junchen.
Qin Menglin was not in the mood to say more words to the other party at this time.
"Is there something wrong? I'll just hang up the phone. ”
When the words fell, Qin Menglin immediately interrupted and hung up the phone.
