Chapter 39: Zhai Family Sisters
Li Mai was half lying on the recliner on the balcony, shaking gently, the bright moonlight sprinkled down, imprinting a faint light on his face, and the cigarettes between his fingers disappeared with the cold wind.
There was no light in the living room, and the moonlight outside spilled in, faintly bright.
In his mind, all he turned over and over again was Zhang Xiaoyu's shadow and how to deal with Haohao's relationship with her.
Opposite the balcony is the huge Nangang city, and here on the top floor, you can overlook the infinitely beautiful night view of the city. The fullness of this city has the hard work of its own parents and even grandparents. In that age of burning passion, they engaged in the greatest cause in the world with their wisdom and hands.
And now, as the only heir of the family, he can't solve the most ordinary things before people.
Even if he no longer has a prominent aura on his body, his innate sense of honor and shame is still impacting his nerves. It's really frustrating and humbling.
The mobile phone was vibrating, Li Mai took it out to take a look, and then opened the door with the remote control.
Long Zhang carried a briefcase, pushed the door in, and brought the door.
Walking to the balcony, he moved a stool, sat down opposite Li Mai's side, took out a stack of materials from his briefcase, and handed it over.
"All the information you want me to check is here. After Li Mai took it, Long Zhang said in a low voice, "The general relationship has been clarified." Zhai Ruonan is Zhai Xiaoyu's half-sister. â
With the help of the moonlight, Li Mai began to look through the information and nodded, "No wonder there is such a big difference in their appearance." â
Zhai Xiaoyu rarely mentioned her family to Li Mai, and when she did, most of them were her father, who had been deceased for many years. Li Mai asked many times, but Zhai Xiaoyu never said. Moreover, Zhai Xiaoyu told Li Mai not to use his family power to investigate himself.
Even though Zhai Xiaoyu's tone was very light, Li Mai could feel her resoluteness. Li Mai really didn't investigate Zhai Xiaoyu's family background. In fact, for Li Mai at that time, these little things were not important. He doesn't care who Zhai Xiaoyu is, he loves her anyway.
So much so that Li Mai only vaguely knew that Zhai Xiaoyu had a younger sister, but he had never seen it. It is even more unclear about her family situation. But Li Mai could feel that the relationship between Zhai Xiaoyu and her sister was not good.
Long Zhang continued, "After Zhai Xiaoyu's father died of illness, her mother remarried her uncle Zhai Yuanping and gave birth to a baby girl, so she was also surnamed Zhai. They were ten years apart from each other. According to our investigation, Zhai Yuanping is not good to Zhai Xiaoyu and is often beaten badly. Zhai Xiaoyu's mother, Gong Liping, has little status in the family, so it can be judged that Zhai Xiaoyu's childhood was not happy. After going to college, Zhai Xiaoyu moved out of the Zhai family and almost cut off contact with the Zhai family since then. â
After a pause, Long Zhang glanced at Li Mai, "I also found out that there is a vague unfriendly history between Zhai Xiaoyu's father Zhai Qixue and Zhai Yuanping, but there is no clear investigation result yet. â
Li Mai's gaze left the information, raised his head to look at Long Zhang, but asked, "What is the situation of this Zhai family, and does it have anything to do with my mother's family?"
Shaking his head, Long Zhang said, "The Zhai family is an ordinary family in Nangang, and there is nothing special about it. The Zhai family has four branches, Zhai Qixue is one of them, the genealogy ranks first, and he is a well-known scholar in Nangang. Zhai Yuanping is the second in line, he started as a smuggler, and now he has some industries under his name. â
As for whether it has a zĂ i relationship with the imperial capital Zhai family, this point is very conclusive, there is no relationship between the two, and the surname is the same. There are hundreds of clans with the surname Zhai in the country, and the Zhai family in the imperial capital has no related branches in the people since its liberation. â
After figuring this out, Li Mai did breathe a sigh of relief, and he immediately said: "There is a vague unfriendly history between Zhai Qixue and Zhai Yuanping, do you mean to tell me that Zhai Qixue's death is not as simple as it seems?"
Long Zhang nodded slightly, "There is a possibility of zĂ i, but it needs to be investigated further." â
"Then find out. â
Li Mai said without hesitation.
After hesitating for a moment, Long Zhang took out another piece of information from his briefcase, which was Zhang Xiaoyu's information, and Hu Wenbing had read it first.
"This is the information of the head teacher Hao Hao, I think you may need it. Long Zhang handed it over.
Li Mai didn't take it immediately, but looked at Long Zhang. In the face of the terrifying gaze, Long Zhang still maintained a expressionless face.
"Don't make your own decisions without my command. â
Li Mai finally took over the information.
Long Zhang didn't care about this, it was not Li Mai who could really give him instructions, but someone else.
"Several other people who appeared in the Tang Dynasty restaurant at night also found out. The balding middle-aged man is Huang Jincai, the owner of Guangyuan Real Estate Company, and the woman is his mistress, named An Lin. Huang Jincai has some financial resources and has some influence in Nangang. We pressed him this time, and according to this person's character, we will definitely retaliate. That An Lin is not a threat, just a fashion model who worships money. Long Zhang introduced these two people in a few simple words, and then closed his mouth.
Speaking of this, Li Mai suddenly frowned, raised his head and looked at the starry night sky for a while, and said uncertainly, "At that time, I sensed that there were a few more threatening people nearby, thinking it was Huang Jincai's people. Then the situation was chaotic, and this feeling disappeared all of a sudden. When you say that, it reminds me. â
Long Zhang looked at Li Mai suspiciously, his brows furrowed, "You mean, there was a third party present at that time?"
Nodding slowly, Li Mai slowly became determined, "I can't be wrong with my feelings, and they are dangerous." â
He said this, and Long Zhang believed it. With a sense of danger, Li Mai, who was born in the Short Knife Commando, far surpassed anyone in their housekeeping system. But he did not find any more suspicious characters.
"Maybe it's Qin Junjie's person, maybe it's an unknown person. Li Mai muttered to himself, and then said to Long Zhang, "All in all, no matter who it is, you have to find out." I don't want Hao Hao ...... and Zhang Xiaoyu are in danger. â
Long Zhang quietly put down a stone in his heart, he had been worried that Li Mai would be furious when he knew that he had secretly arranged for someone to follow and protect Zhang Xiaoyu. When Li Mai said this, he just gave him a pass.
It was true that he was not ordered by Li Mai, but he definitely couldn't bear Li Mai's anger.
In fact, whether it is Li Mai or Long Zhang, they have understood from the day they made a big fuss about the rich that the child can no longer maintain his previous style of acting with a series of things.
In order to solve the problems that continue to arise, Li Mai must borrow the power of Long Zhang's side. And in fact, what is used is the power of the old Li family.
Five years ago, Li Mai resolutely said that if he did not agree to his marriage to Zhai Xiaoyu, he would not return to that home. Five years later, Li Mai, who suspected that Zhai Xiaoyu's death was related to some people in the family, also resolutely announced that he would sever ties with the old Li family.
The only one who implicated him and Lao Li's family was his father, whose life and death were unknown.
However, for the sake of the child, he had to rely on these family powers that he had sworn would never have any connection.
Even if it will be seen as a compromise, Li Mai is willing for the sake of the child.
After the Xihai incident, Li Mai has actually cooperated with some of the family's actions, consciously or unconsciously, which can be seen as a sign of the easing of relations between the two sides.
But they both know very well that if Zhai Xiaoyu's knot is not untied for a day, Li Mai's heart will not return to the old Li family.
In this regard, he bears a striking resemblance to his father.
Li Mai naturally knew very well that Long Zhang would not know everything about him, but he also knew that Long Zhang and many people like him would definitely not have the possibility of harming him.
That's enough.
"Mom's ......"
Even though the voice was extremely slight, Li Mai still heard Haohao's dreamy voice. He sat up all of a sudden, threw the information in his hand to Long Zhang, "You go back first, and tell me at any time if there is progress." â
After saying that, he walked quickly into Haohao's room.
Long Zhang put away the information, watched Li Mai's back disappear at the door of the room, sighed lightly in his heart, and got up to leave.
In the room, Hao Hao's two hands unconsciously raised and lowered, raised and lowered, as if looking for his mother's hug. Li Mai gently sat down on the edge of the bed, held Hao Hao's hand, and gently patted his chest.
Hao Hao grabbed Li Mai's hand tightly, and finally continued to sleep peacefully.
