Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C36

By the time Lin Qingrou had finished her work and rushed over to Grandpa Chen’s house, it was already afternoon. She saw Grandpa Chen and Chen Shaorong sitting in a conspicuous position by the window, waiting for her. Seeing that she had arrived, the two of them then asked the waiter, “Can you give me a quiet place where I can’t see anything?”

The waiter looked at the three of them, then led them to a quiet corner. After Master Chen sat down, he said apologetically to Lin Qingrou, “Miss Lin, don’t mind it. We want to find a quiet place to talk.”

Lin Qingrou naturally understood. She smiled and nodded her head before looking at Chen Shaorong, asking, “Has Big Brother Chen gotten better in the past few days?”

Chen Shaorong looked at Grandpa Chen and then at Lin Qingrou. He gave a simple and honest smile to show that he was having a good life.

Lin Qingrou felt relieved. She took out a notebook and a pen from her bag and placed them on the table. The recording pen was still in her pocket. She wasn’t scheming against the two of them, but she felt that using brushes and paper, these common yet warm things, would make them less nervous. On the other hand, taking out a recording pen, this ice-cold metal tool, would actually make them feel an inexplicable sense of estrangement from her.

Seeing this, Grandpa Chen took a sip of tea. His lips quivered as he looked at Chen Shaorong. At this moment, Chen Shaorong was exceptionally calm, and he seemed to be slightly relieved.

“What my son told you last time… It’s true. ” Grandpa Chen said unwillingly.

“It’s not that complicated, but it’s just a fight between a few people on the construction site. Let’s talk about it for a bit more.” But who knew … To be captured as a criminal with a single wrong word, how can there be such logic! ” Grandpa Chen became more and more excited as he spoke. He slammed one of his fists on the table and panted nervously. His eyebrows were creased and his eyes were red. His hands were trembling.

At this time, Chen Shaorong seemed to be very calm. He kept looking at the cup of tea floating in front of him.

Lin Qingrou did not say anything, she did not want to interrupt their emotions. Only by doing so would she be able to make them speak their mind, only by doing so would she be able to know more facts.

“Look.” Chen Shaorong suddenly said. He forcefully shook the cup of water, and the tea leaves began to roll up and down in the water without any resistance, he slowly said, “Do I look like these tea leaves? “When you’re in the water, you’re at the mercy of others.”

Lin Qingrou felt a pain in her throat. She took a sip of water and rubbed her nose, but she could not suppress the pain in her heart.

Master Chen let out a heavy sigh. He looked at Chen Shaorong, who was rubbing his hands in worry. The corners of his eyes slowly drooped, as he choked with emotions and unwillingly said, “Blame it on me. Blame it on my family for being powerless and lacking money!” “In the end, not only did he not live his life well, he even took the blame for others and went to jail!”

After saying that, Grandpa Chen took out a photo from the shabby blue cloth by his side and handed it to Lin Wanrou.

She took it and looked at it. It was an old, yellowed photograph, its plastic seal bulging. “This is a picture of Brother Chen when he was at work, right?”

Grandpa Chen explained, “Yes, it was filled with colleagues who worked at the construction site. The person who died was him. His name is Ding Qi. ” As he spoke, he pointed at Lin Qingrou.

Lin Qingrou looked down at the photo. Although it had been a long time since anyone had seen her face clearly, they could still see her features. She could not help but feel that it was a pity that a life that was at the prime of its life had disappeared just like that.

However, the deceased were already dead, and the living had to plot against each other. It had to be said that for Chen Shaorong and the Chen family, this world was more difficult, dark and dangerous.

Lin Qingrou continued to look at the other people in the photo. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, her heart was filled with shock: This … Isn’t this too much of a coincidence!

“Who is this person?” she asked.

Grandpa Chen took a glance and fell silent.

Afraid that she might misread his words, Lin Qingrou pressed her fingers against the photo to make sure she was able to identify it. This person seemed to be Xing Dapeng, Xing Ruonan’s father!

Master Chen gritted his teeth and said, “That’s him. He was the one who found someone to expose him!” “If it wasn’t because the lawyer he hired was too powerful, how could we have …”

Lin Qingrou probed, “You mean, he was killed by him, and then the blame was placed on Brother Chen?”

Grandpa Chen nodded vigorously.

“She told everyone she was sick and that she went to some other place to treat them,” Lin Manshui suddenly recalled what Liu Yuxi had once said when he investigated on Xing Ruonan. But then, her parents moved away very quickly and left B City. ”

“However, when I went to ask around, there was no news of her death or recovery, nor was there any news of the Xing Family at all. It was as if they had never existed!” Don’t you think that’s a little strange? ”

Lin Qingrou was suddenly enlightened. Could it be that the reason the Xing Family had disappeared was not because of Ye Qingming, but because they had taken refuge?!

“Do you have any evidence?” Lin Qingrou asked.

Chen Shaorong sighed, turned his head to wipe the corners of his eyes, and said, “If there was evidence, it wouldn’t be so difficult. “Even though I’ve been wronged for so many years, I still believe that there will be a day when the law will severely punish him. He will have his retribution!”

Retribution … Lin Manshou could not help but think, “Is there really a retribution?” Was there really such a thing as retribution? It wasn’t that she didn’t believe him, but rather that she believed herself more than the heavens could punish those evil people.

Lin Qingrou asked again, “Can you tell me the details of what happened back then?”

Chen Shaorong looked at her, then at Grandpa Chen. Finally, he gathered his courage and said, “Because it was the weekend, most of our fellow workers went home. I went back to the dorm at night and bought a lot of fruit, so I wanted to cut it up with Tinch’s knife. But I didn’t think I’d get my hands on it, so I went to wash my hands in the public pool in the distance, which was about that time, and there were my fingerprints and blood on it. ”

“I came back from washing my hands and was about to go upstairs when I saw Xing Dapeng sneaking out of my room with Ding Qi. “I didn’t think too much about it, but I didn’t greet him because he never had a good relationship with us. I waited for him to walk far away before I returned to the house.”

“Results… When I returned to the dormitory, I saw Ding Qi lying on the ground, covered in blood. The entire room was filled with the pungent smell of blood. I hastily ran over to call the police, I didn’t expect … The one who was waiting for me was Xing Dapeng, who brought police officers to my dorm room. Sigh … Later, in court, we didn’t have the money to hire a good lawyer, the evidence wasn’t good enough, and we couldn’t win the case or find anyone to help us. Later … It’s now. ”

Grandpa Chen added, “We did tell the lawyer and the judge that it was Xing Dapeng who did it, but in the end … Where did a poor gambler like him find such a sharp-tongued lawyer? With just a few words, he had acquitted him! “What kind of world is this!?”

Looking at them, Lin Qingrou remembered the last time she saw Chen Shaorong. He looked so emotional. It was because he had thought of her as Xing Yumiao in a moment of desperation, so he probably referred to her father, Xing Dapeng.

It was as if a thread had been tied together in Lin Qingrou’s mind. Seven years ago, Xing Yumiao and Ye Qingming were still together, but at the same time, Xing Dapeng had also killed someone. Therefore, after the incident, Xing Ruonan avoided Ye Qingming and instead begged Ye Qingzhi to find a lawyer to save Xing Dapeng. At that time, Ye Qingzhi hadn’t been satisfied with Xing Ruonan and Ye Qingming being together, so she had taken the opportunity to threaten that Xing Ruo Nan would have to leave Ye Qingming. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bothered with Xing Da Peng’s matters. From then on, Xing Ruonan had no choice but to leave Ye Qingming because of her father. Afterwards, Ye Qingzhi had lied to Ye Qingming and had used the excuse that Xing Ruonan was sick to some other place as an excuse to separate them without any flaws.

No wonder Liu Yuxi hadn’t been able to find them. No wonder Lin Man and Liu Yuxi thought that Xing Ruo’s family had completely disappeared. All of this was due to the fact that the Xing Family had taken the risk and abandoned everything to prove their identity. Lin Qingrou, on the other hand, was certain that the Xing Family must still have Ye Qingzhi’s assistance in this matter. This was probably the reason why Xing Ruonan was afraid of him. She was afraid that he would be ruthlessly abandoned if he didn’t have any value for Ye Qingzhi. The other reason for abandoning her was that while abandoning her, Ye Qingzhi would no longer be able to protect her and Xing Dapeng. After all, to the rootless and rootless Xing Family, being kicked aside by the powerful Ye Qingzhi was tantamount to courting death.

It seemed as if Ye Qingzhi had first separated Ye Qingming and Xing Yumiao, then threatened Xing Ruonan and Xing Dapeng to do something for her so as to leave a trail to hold them back. Lin Manrou thought, “Ye Qingzhi is really smart, able to kill two birds with one stone.”

As for the matter between Xing Ruonan and Qi Yuankai, she believed that this had only happened about later.

“Miss Lin?” Seeing the serious expression on Lin Qingrou’s face, Grandpa Chen couldn’t help but call out to her.

She nodded her head and said, “I understand what you guys are talking about, but I need to go back to the company and organize everything. If there’s anything else, can you call me back later?”

Grandpa Chen said, “Alright, go back quickly. If we find anything, we’ll call you!”

As he said this, Grandpa Chen and Chen Shaorong went out together to see Lin Canrou off in a taxi.

Lin Qingrou sat in the car. Her heart couldn’t help but twitch as she looked in the rearview mirror at the father and son of Grandpa Chen, who were still watching her leave.

She couldn’t understand why good people always took the blame for bad people. Is it because good people are too stupid and stupid, or because good people aren’t bad enough?! Was it because in this world, only those who were bad enough were able to stand firmly and stand in an invincible position? Was it because they had stepped on the corpses of so many good people?!

Lin Qingrou suddenly felt a splitting headache. She took out the recording pen from her pocket and gently closed it. He then took out his phone and dialed Liu Yuxi’s number.

“Where?” Lin Qingrou asked.

Liu Yuxi was probably in the middle of drawing. Her voice was faintly discernible as she said, “It’s the company. What? You miss me?”

“Alright, just think it through. I just finished interviewing you. I’ll treat you to a meal tonight. ”

Liu Yuxi laughed, “You’ve already invited me to dinner, and you’re still missing me. Tell me, where is it?”

Lin Manrou thought for a moment and then casually mentioned a place.

Then remember to order good food. More food!” “Otherwise, I won’t be able to eat when I travel tomorrow.” “” “The more Liu Yuxi spoke, the more excited he became, as if he was about to follow the phone line to Lin Qingrou’s side.

Lin Manrou chatted with her for a while. She seemed to be in a better mood, so when she arrived at the restaurant first, she specially ordered several dishes for Liu Yuxi.

When Liu Yuxi finally left work and hurriedly found a place to eat, Lin Qingrou had already eaten for a while. She exclaimed in dissatisfaction, “My sister, why are you not waiting for me!”

Lin Qingrou smiled at her, “I was too hungry, but you still snuck in and ate a bit.”

Liu Yuxi looked at her helplessly and said, “You’re just as heartless and shameless as you are in front of me. Do you dare to face Ye Qingming?”

Lin Qingrou bit her chopsticks and shook her head, taking out the recording pen from her pocket and handing it over to Liu Yuxi.

“Listen to the record of my interview today.”

“The person you interviewed? Is it someone I know? ”

Liu Yuxi put on his earphones and listened carefully.

Lin Qingrou shook her head, smiling mysteriously.

Liu Yuxi listened attentively for a while. When she was halfway through listening, she suddenly took off her headphones and asked, “Who is the murderer?!”

Lin Manshou said, “Refuse to reveal anything!”

“Heavens …” Liu Yuxi suddenly sighed.

“Who are you interviewing? How did he know Xing Dapeng? In other words, the fact that Xing Yumiao’s family couldn’t find them at all meant that they were hiding from an investigation? ”

“Then where is Xing Ruonan now?” What had she and Xing Dapeng done? Did they know who you were and did anything bad to you? Let me look at you. Are you alright? ”

Liu Yuxi asked quite a few questions at once, and Lin Manshui was unable to take it anymore, so she could only explain it to her from beginning to end.

Liu Yuxi was dumbstruck as he listened for a while. She ran through her mind over and over again before asking, “Ye Qingzhi, aren’t you afraid that Xing Ruonan will threaten her after she tells her story?”

Lin Qingrou shook her head and sighed, “Xing Ruonan has no power or influence. Who is she going to talk to me about? Even if he did, who would believe him? Even if they did, who would go after them? “Ye Qingzhi’s power, and even the entire Ye Family’s power, is not something that you or I can imagine.”

Liu Yuxi agreed, “You’re right. Even if Xing Ruonan wants to turn the tables on Ye Qingzhi, she still needs the consent of Xing Dapeng. Otherwise, wouldn’t that mean that Big Water has charged into the Dragon King’s Temple and beat his own family?”

“They are like grasshoppers on a vine. No one will let go of them first.” Lin Qingrou said.

“Oh, right, there’s also this.” Lin Qingrou took out a piece of paper from her bag and handed it over to Liu Yuxi.

She explained, “Can you check the companies’ backgrounds?”

Liu Yuxi looked at it and asked, “What’s wrong? Isn’t this a medical company? ”

Lin said, “These companies were purchased recently by the son of Qi Chuang. Although it doesn’t seem like much, according to the investigation, he hasn’t bought a company in a long time. And it’s really strange for him to suddenly buy these small, unknown companies. ”

Liu Yuxi nodded, put the documents away and asked, “I’m going to have a meeting tomorrow and will be back on the weekend. Do you have any plans for the weekend?”

Lin Qingrou couldn’t help smiling. “There’s a gathering tomorrow,” she said.

“What party?” Don’t say it, let me guess. Surely it had something to do with Ye Qingming? “I saw you smiling so brilliantly.”

Lin Qingrou did not expect to be caught off guard by her words. She was stunned for a moment before blushing.

Liu Yuxi seemed to be very satisfied with the matter of Lin Man and Ye Qingming. She smiled and said, “Not bad, not bad. I think very highly of you.”

Lin Manrou was speechless, and she asked, “What about Xu Caiqiu? I haven’t heard you mention him recently. ”

Liu Yuxi shrugged, picking at his own fingernails and said, “We haven’t contacted each other in a long time, so let’s do what we need to do.” I’m not asking for anything. ”

Lin Qingrou looked at her with a pained expression. No matter how Liu Yuxi tried to hide it, Lin Qingrou could still feel an indescribable sadness from her.

When he got home that night, Lin Manshou casually watched the news on the internet. Just as she was about to sleep, she saw the profile pic of WeChat shake twice.

She opened it and saw that it was Cheng Yun.

He first sent out a long string of exclamation marks, then asked, “I heard that you’re going to get married?”

Lin Qingrou typed a line of words on the keyboard, “Yes, so remember to give me a big red packet.”

Cheng Yun: “Who is he? What for? What job? Is it good for you? How many people were at home? Is your family nice to you? ”

Lin Qingrou couldn’t help but laugh at his question. One by one, she replied seriously, “Doctor, he is older than me and there are only brothers and sisters in the family. He treats me very well.”

It was as if Cheng Yun still did not want to believe him. He silently replied, “Oh.”

Then another line appeared: “This time, dad is going to be sad.”

The smile on Lin Qingrou’s face froze. She stared blankly at the computer screen, tears seemingly ready in her eyes, falling down and landing on the table with a “Pa Da” sound.
