Dating After Divorce - Chapter 96
Xu Xian’s hand was on the doorknob, but she didn’t let go.
Luo Zhen saw her precaution and took the initiative to reveal her identity.
“Just say, Luo Zhen has something to look for her.”
Luo Zhen?
Miss Ning’s lover – Luo Zhen?
A hint of surprise flashed on Xu Xian’s face, she was stunned for a while before nodding her head, then turned around and entered the room to call for someone.
Pei Yi was sitting on the bed, two slender calves sticking out from under the skirt, and her bare skin was as white as jade, except for the circle of her right ankle, which was covered with red potion, which looked very conspicuous.
Seeing Xu Xian come in empty-handed, she couldn’t help but be a little confused.
“Who’s outside?”
“It’s Miss Luo, she said, she has something to look for you.”
Only from Luo Zhen’s indifferent tone when she spoke, Xu Xian could also guess that there was a festival between her and Pei Yi.
Sure enough, just as she guessed, the moment she heard the words ‘Miss Luo’, Pei Yi’s face changed instantly, and the white gauze in her hand fell to the ground and rolled into a ball.
Like panic, like fear.
The huge room quickly fell silent.
Xu Xian’s confusion deepened.
“What’s up?”
Pei Yi’s breath was stagnant and she shook her head.
“nothing.”
The mistakes they made when they were young were enough to cut off the relationship between the former friends.
Obviously, Pei Yi didn’t expect Luo Zhen to come to the hotel in person to find him.
Is it for Ning Rou?
To this day, the only person who can make the two of them meet again is Ning Rou.
Luo Zhen stood outside waiting.
Five minutes later, Pei Yi appeared on crutches.
For a moment when the sights were opposite, Luo Zhen’s brows burst with chills.
As for Pei Yi, her cheeks were already pale.
For no reason, she remembered what Ning Baobao said.
The phrase “practice hard” is to play the piano with Luo Zhen in the future.
Her left hand was hanging by her waist, her right hand was holding a cane, and her fingers began to tremble again.
Feelings of guilt and remorse attacked at the same time, like a surging tide, flapping and rolling layer by layer, until she was completely submerged.
She subconsciously wanted to escape.
As if frightened, her legs hurriedly retreated in panic, but she forgot that her right leg was injured.
If Xu Xian’s reaction was not fast enough, I’m afraid she would have fallen to the ground now.
Luo Zhen saw this scene in his eyes, and his brows suddenly frowned——
Pei Yi’s reaction was too strange.
Even if she didn’t expect her to come, she wouldn’t be frightened like this.
She didn’t speak, her face was still cold, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared coldly at Pei Yi’s pale face, as if she was looking at a stranger.
The atmosphere was vaguely wrong.
In the end, Pei Yi spoke first.
“Let’s talk to the cafe downstairs.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Xu Xian, and whispered a word.
“Lunch, eat it yourself.”
“Don’t wait for me.”
When Xu Xian heard these two words, her lips moved slightly, and the hand that was supporting Pei Yi’s right arm immediately released.
“Okay.”
Luo Zhen walked in front, Pei Yi followed, and after a while, they entered the elevator together.
Xu Xian was at the door of the room, watching quietly, until the backs of the two disappeared, and she returned to the room alone.
***
As noon approached, there were few customers in the café.
The sunlight outside the window is bright and warm, but so dazzling.
Xu Shi didn’t know how to face the woman in front of her. After entering the store, Pei Yi kept her head down.
A person who is naturally proud and full of self-confidence will never show such a mourning side in front of others unless he has been severely hit.
Even Luo Zhen noticed that she was different from the last time they met.
There is an alluring bitter aroma unique to coffee.
Luo Zhen lowered his eyes, and the spoon with his fingertips stirred gently in the cup.
It was not until the heat floating in the air dissipated that she stopped her movements, raised her eyes suddenly, and put her eyes back on the silent Pei Yi.
“How much do you know about Ning Rou?”
A straight-to-the-point question, short and straightforward.
Pei Yi’s heart trembled slightly, and the two hands on her knees were uneasily clasped together. After a while, she mustered up the courage to look at the cold woman opposite.
“You know it all?”
Luo Zhen’s eyes were still cold.
Only when she mentioned Ning Rou, her tone softened.
“Yes, Rourou told me.”
When confronted, you really should speak clearly.
A trace of shame flashed on Pei Yi’s face. This time, he finally stopped hiding and told everything he knew.
Just the first sentence completely shocked Luo Zhen——
“Ning Rou’s mother is probably not dead.”
Ning Rou was born after Zhou Ruguang entered the family. At least at that time, Ning Rou’s mother did not die of illness as he said.
A few days ago, in order to get the guarantee, Pei Yi opened the safe at home, and Pei Xuan saw a necklace inside.
Although the workmanship of the necklace is fine, the style is very old, and the chain in the middle is broken. It looks like it is something from decades ago.
Xu Shi was influenced by Pei Yi’s words, and Pei Xuan paid more attention to this matter. A few days later, she really saw Zhou Ruguang secretly taking out the necklace.
If you guessed correctly, it should be sent to the gold shop for repair.
After the necklace was taken away, it was never taken back. Most of it was repaired and then sent out.
Intuition told Pei Yi that this necklace was for Ning Rou’s mother.
Before coming to Yuanxiang this time, she had already sent someone to investigate Zhou Ruguang’s whereabouts, but unfortunately, nothing was found.
“He goes on business trips every month. I asked him to check the hotels and places he stayed in other places in recent years, but he still couldn’t find Ning Rou’s mother.”
Pei Yi’s expression was annoyed and self-blaming.
It can be seen that the father-daughter relationship between her and Zhou Ruguang has already cracked.
Luo Zhen frowned, his brows filled with doubts.
“You’re investigating this matter, not just for Ning Rou, right?”
At this point, there is no need to cover up.
Pei Yi nodded and admitted this statement.
“Yes, I need to find evidence of his infidelity to my mother, so that he can be separated from the Pei family.”
Luo Zhen was startled when he heard the sound, and quickly understood what this sentence was implying.
Once Zhou Ruguang’s secret actions are made public, it will not only affect his personal image, but also affect the Pei family.
Pei Yi wanted to report Zhou Ruguang, and the first thing to do was to ask him to divorce Pei Xuan.
In such a dilemma, it is not difficult to understand if you want to preserve the family’s reputation.
Luo Zhen’s face became calmer.
“He’s your father. I remember that your relationship has always been very good.”
The two met when they were young, and they were not ignorant of each other’s family circumstances.
Like Xu Xian, Luo Zhen couldn’t understand Pei Yi’s behavior.
“You tell Rourou that you will report Zhou Ruguang. Is this sentence true or false? If you just say these kind words to make Rourou happy just to reduce the guilt in your heart, then you and Zhou Ruguang seem to be no different. “
Luo really guessed, not showing any affection.
There was no blood on Pei Yi’s cheeks, and even his lips were extremely pale.
She knew why Luo Zhen didn’t trust herself.
She is not angry, nor is she qualified to be angry.
This is one of the prices she paid for the mistakes she made back then.
“If it were a lie, I wouldn’t be sitting here right now.”
“He imprisoned Ning Rou, my mother, my brother, and I all don’t know. He lied to all of us.”
“Before I knew about these things, I thought he was a good father, and I thought we had a good relationship, but in fact, he never really regarded me as a daughter.”
“In his eyes, I’m a tool to show off to the outside world. As for my mother, maybe she’s just a wealthy daughter who is simple and easy to deceive.”
“As early as half a month ago, I couldn’t play the piano with my hands, but in order to please those investors, he refused to let me cancel the concert. If it wasn’t for my right leg injury, he wouldn’t let me leave the sea market at all. .”
One after another, the accusations entered his ears along the cold wind.
Luo Zhen was stunned, and within half a second, he caught the key words inside.
“Investors? What kind of investors?”
Pei Yi’s eyes were red, and without thinking about it, she called out six names.
“It was the investor behind that project. Back then, Ning Rou was let go by her aunt and the experiment was forced to stop, which brought great losses to the six companies and affected his career. For this concert, he invited The six people participated.”
Except for Pei Li, the Pei family has never been in contact with the shopping mall.
He also had little idea about the identities of those six people.
Luo Zhen is different from them.
After eight years in the business world, just hearing these six names appear together, she already knew that it was far more difficult to solve this matter than she imagined.
No wonder Ning Rou said that it was useless to make a report.
Before he knew it, Luo Zhen’s palms were wet with cold sweat.
Her thoughts were not yet completely calm, and Pei Yi’s voice came again in the air.
“Here, I have obtained some evidence that he did illegal experiments.”
“As long as I find Ning Rou’s mother, I will let my mother divorce him.”
“When the time comes, I will personally send him to prison.”
This idea is too simple and too naive.
Luo Zhen’s red lips pursed tightly, and her face was solemn.
It wasn’t until the surroundings were quiet again that she raised her head.
“As far as I know, your second brother Perry’s company has had business cooperation with these six companies over the years.”
“Project investment must involve financial transactions. Since the experiment has been suspended, in order to prevent future troubles, those people must legalize the accounts.”
“Your second brother’s company is the best channel for write-offs.”
Pei Yi didn’t understand business matters, and it took a long time to react. Luo Zhen’s words concealed another meaning.
She couldn’t believe her ears, and her lips moved several times before she asked what was in her throat.
“You mean, he used the second brother’s company to destroy criminal evidence?”
Luo Zhen pursed his lips and did not give a positive answer.
“I can only say that it is possible, and it is very likely.”
No wonder Zhou Ruguang always asked Pei Li about the company.
There was a constant buzzing in Pei Yi’s ears.
She couldn’t figure out, how could there be someone like Zhou Ruguang in this world——
Spread rumors about the death of his ex-wife, imprison his biological daughter, deceive his current wife, and use his son’s company to destroy evidence for himself.
She was so frightened that her back couldn’t help trembling, and a cold sweat also fell down her forehead.
Luo Zhen saw the change on her face, and her expression changed slightly.
“It’s not as easy as you think.”
“Even if you report Zhou Ruguang, Rou Rou won’t be free. The truth is open. Those six companies can’t let her go.”
“To report, you have to report everyone involved in the project — all together.”
The author has something to say: the scumbag is crazy
To protect Rourou, we have to rely on us, Mr. Luo
