Chapter Seventy-Five: The Lost Child
Liu Mei saw that Xu Xiuxiu's eyes were about to stick to this skirt, so she turned around and brought a biscuit box from the windowsill next to her.
There was still half of the biscuits in the box, which Aunt Jenny had bought for her.
The skirt was not allowed to be touched by Xu Xiuxiu, so in order not to make her sad, Liu Mei decided to appease her with biscuits.
Xu Xiuxiu is usually a greedy person, holding biscuits in her hands, so she doesn't put her mind on Liu Mei's skirt.
After eating for a while, Xu Xiuxiu suddenly remembered something: "Liu Mei, when I went to work in the mountains before, I overheard a secret about Xiang Baiwei, do you want to listen to it?" ”
Regarding Xiang Baiwei's secret, Liu Mei is of course interested.
But she didn't want to show it.
So Liu Mei picked up her teacup with a very light expression: "Xiang Baiwei's?" What's so nice about that, but now I'm idle and bored, it's okay to listen to it, let's say, what kind of secret? ”
Xu Xiuxiu looked around, leaned over to the windowsill again, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping outside the window, she turned back and whispered in Liu Mei's ear: "I heard that Xiang Baiwei is not the biological child of the old Xiang family, she was adopted, and said that there is a birthmark on her body." ”
After Xu Xiuxiu finished speaking, she laughed maliciously twice, and after laughing, she found that Liu Mei's face seemed to be a little wrong: "What's wrong?" ”
Liu Mei's fingers tightly pinched the handle of the enamel jar: "You said to Bai Wei...... Is it adopted? What is the adoption method? I heard that some poor families have children and can't raise them, so they will give them to relatives, is this the case with Xiang Baiwei? ”
"No, Xiang Baiwei's father doesn't know who it is, and I don't know if she was abandoned, it seems that when she picked her up, the small clothes she was wearing were made of good materials, and it is said that the department stores in the county may not be able to buy such good materials."
Maybe the biscuits tasted too dry, Xu Xiuxiu patted her choked chest, walked to the side, poured half a glass of water into her cup, and took a small sip of it.
Liu Mei held the sugar porcelain jar in a daze, and she didn't see her take a sip for a long time.
On the second night of staying in the provincial capital with Aunt Jenny, Aunt Jenny was moved by Liu Mei's performance in those two days, so she told her about part of her life abroad.
The content is mainly about how rich Jenny's current husband is in the family, and the impact of not having children.
Liu Mei was very curious at the time, and asked Jenny: "My uncle is so rich, if he doesn't have children, the family ...... property."
Family property happens to be Jenny's biggest worry right now.
The point is that Jenny and Liu Mei mentioned that the rich man once had a granddaughter, but she disappeared when she was very young, and said that the place of disappearance was near Baiyun City, and that the granddaughter was about the same age as Liu Mei.
The information mentioned casually was all remembered by Liu Mei.
After listening to Xu Xiuxiu's gossip at this moment, Liu Mei had a terrible guess in her heart.
Will...... Xiang Baiwei is the granddaughter of the rich man who went missing?
That's outrageous, isn't it?
Xu Xiuxiu approached Liu Mei with a cup: "What are you thinking?" Did I just say something that scared you? Why are you so soulless? ”
Liu Mei was indeed unwilling, and she was indeed frightened by what she said.
If Xiang Baiwei is really the granddaughter of Aunt Jenny's current husband, then I am afraid that her acquisition of a huge amount of property will be in vain.
Of course, Liu Mei was not willing to give up this low-hanging fruit.
We must not allow such a thing to happen.
Xiang Baiwei has already snatched Jiang Sui, and now she must not be allowed to snatch her own wealth again.
"Liumei? What happened to you? What the hell are you thinking? I talk to you and you don't react. ”
Xu Xiuxiu stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes.
"It's nothing, but I suddenly remembered that I had saved a sum of money, and I might be targeted by others, and I was thinking about how to avoid losses."
Liu Mei looked at Xu Xiuxiu with a smile.
"That's easy, you keep the money so that the person doesn't know where you're hiding?" Xu Xiuxiu thought she was really talking about money, and she came up with an idea for a serious help.
Liu Mei smiled: "You're right, but not completely, it's just that in this case, it's not enough insurance, I have to find a way to make that person never know that I have such a sum of money." ”
Xu Xiuxiu didn't know the deep meaning of the words, according to what she understood, thought for a while, and raised her head to give Liu Mei a guarantee: "What you know about me is that I am greedy and loves to eat delicious food, I don't have other shortcomings, and I never touch other people's money." ”
"I didn't say you, I said others, don't take it to heart, we've known each other for so long, I don't know what kind of person you are?" Liu Mei smiled and hugged Xu Xiuxiu, comforting her with a good sister.
After a while, Liu Mei remembered that something had been left at school and didn't take it, so she put the skirt back into the box and took the office key to go to school.
On the way back, Liu Mei met a person, and the appearance of this person made her quickly brew a good way to clean up Xiang Baiwei and perfectly protect herself and Aunt Jenny for the rest of their lives.
Anyway, regardless of whether Xiang Baiwei is the granddaughter of the rich man or not, it is best to solve her first.
However, this method is a little more difficult to implement.
She needs to think long-term.
……
Three days later, Jiang Sui finally came back from the factory.
When he opened the door to Bai Wei, he looked at Jiang Sui, who had obviously lost weight, his eyes were blue and black, and he knew that he was tired enough to choke at a glance, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "Have you eaten?" Aren't you tired? Rest after eating. ”
Jiang Sui shook his head slightly: "I'm too sleepy, I don't want to eat, I want to sleep now." ”
"That's not good, how can you skip eating."
Xiang Baiwei pulled him to the back room, brought over the enamel basin, and got a warm pot: "Soak your feet first, relieve your fatigue, I'll bring you some food, you eat and then sleep." ”
Jiang Sui enjoyed Xiang Baiwei's meticulous care, sat on the kang, just soaked his feet while eating, didn't ask anything after eating, and slept with the quilt raised.
He went to bed at eight o'clock in the morning and did not wake up until seven o'clock in the evening.
In the end, he was awakened by the smell of flesh lingering on the tip of his nose.
Jiang Sui pinched the corners of his eyes, and it took a while to react to where he was now.
Home, not in the factory.
In the past few days, the maintenance machine has been busy day and night, which can make him tired enough.
But fortunately, the machines were repaired and production was not delayed, and the deputy director of the factory specially sealed a thick red envelope for him in order to thank him.
Jiang Sui took out the red envelope from the pocket inside his clothes, and reached out and handed it to Xiang Baiwei, who came in to see his situation: "Weiwei, this is the red envelope I handed in." ”
Xiang Baiwei was stunned for a moment, and didn't answer immediately: "This is your hard-earned money for the past two days, right?" ”
"Yes, the deputy director said that I have worked hard, this is a reward for me, for you, you take it to buy things for the family, seeing that the weather is also hot, you should also add a few new clothes."
Jiang Sui said, pushing the red envelope forward again.
