Before Lin Mei met Zhao Jianghe, she knew that Zhao Jianghe was three years older than her. Xie Qujia had said it more than once that Zhao Jianghe and Xing Yan were the same age, and Zhao Jianghe himself also said
Yes, but the age on his passport is almost five years older than hers.
If calculated based on the age on his passport, he is not twenty-nine this year, but thirty-one. However, when I helped him apply for a loan previously, his birth date was not on his ID card...
It is not uncommon for people to change their age for the sake of convenience. However, it is rare for people like Zhao Jianghe to always describe their age as younger, and even the people close to them know nothing about it.
Lin Mei looked carefully and saw that this passport had expired for many years. The photos on it should not have been taken in recent years. Why did Zhao Jianghe hide everyone's age?
He always said that Xie Jinjia regarded him as his mother, but Xie Jinjia didn't know his true age. Although he couldn't figure out the reason, Lin Mei felt a chill down his back...
"What's wrong?" After Zhao Jianghe answered the phone, he saw Lin Mei holding the passport in his hand, his expression unchanged, and he smiled as usual.
Lin Mei saw his smile and hurriedly explained, "Your dog just picked up your passport. You'd better put it away. If such an important thing is broken, it will be troublesome."
She didn't mention her age, but Zhao Jianghe said with a smile, "This is a fake passport, it's no longer useful."
Lin Mei: "Huh?"
Zhao Jianghe: "Didn't you notice that the ages above are all wrong?"
Lin Mei lowered his head to look at it, putting on an expression of realization, "It's true, I was just looking at the photos."
She did not forget to praise Zhao Jianghe, "The photo in your passport is very nice and you look very young."
"Yes, I was only sixteen when the photo was taken." Zhao Jianghe took the passport from her hand, looked at the photo above, and laughed, "I kept it just to look at the photo and occasionally recall myself.
When I was young."
"You are only twenty-nine now, and you are not old." Lin Mei said.
Zhao Jianghe smiled and said nothing. His calm attitude dispelled most of Lin Mei's doubts. Maybe the passport was really a forgery, and Zhao Jianghe seemed to have no reason to conceal his true age.
Lin Mei had lunch at Zhao Jianghe's home. While eating, Lan Lan sent a message in the WeChat group, "I heard that Xing Zheng has been missing for several days."
Lin Mei put down his chopsticks, [Who said that?]
Although she didn't know the source of the news, Lin Mei still became worried after hearing the news. It suddenly occurred to her that Xie Qujia had indeed not contacted her for a long time.
Not long after, Lan Lan's reply arrived, [Liang Yufeng said that he was originally going to discuss business with Xing Zheng today, but Xing Zheng was hospitalized. He said he was looking for someone during this time and didn't sleep much. ]
Lin Mei frowned slightly: [How many days have you been missing?]
With the strength of the Xing family and Xing Zheng, it shouldn't be difficult to find a missing person in Nanjiang City. But according to Lan Lan's words, it seems that Xie Jiajien has been out of contact for a while.
Sure enough, Lan Lan said: [I must have been listening to Liang Yufeng for four or five days. The Xing family has been looking for someone. Don’t you think it’s outrageous? Even though father and son are so capable, they can’t find anyone. 】
Lin Mei also felt that it was outrageous. Xing Zheng and Xing Sha worked together, but they couldn't find Xie Fanjia. Where did Xie Fanjia hide?
My first thought is that someone hid Xie Qujia and deliberately prevented them from finding it. As for who this person is, it is unknown.
She wanted to come to such a conclusion, and Xing Zheng and Xing Sha must also want to come to it, but Lin Mei was still a little worried about Xie Qujia's health. Her condition was unstable and it was unknown whether she would be life-threatening if she experienced stimulation.
Although Lin Mei did not agree with some of Xie Jinjia's actions, from the perspective of a friend, Xie Jinjia had always been good to her, and she did not want to see anything happen to Xie Jinjia.
Zhao Jianghe saw Lin Mei looking at the phone with a heavy face and asked with concern, "What's wrong? His face is so ugly."
"Nothing." Lin Mei shook her head lightly. She put down her phone and did not mention the matter to Zhao Jianghe.
After lunch, Lin Mei and Zhao Jianghe went out to drink coffee together. Zhao Jianghe took Lin Mei to a cafe near the villa.
In the afternoon, there was no one around, and the cafe environment was very good. Lin Mei was sitting by the window, basking in the sun, tasting the boss's handmade coffee, and listening to the cat's meow. It was very comfortable.
Zhao Jianghe chatted casually with Lin Mei. Later, when a call came, he went to answer the phone. Lin Mei happened to be in a hurry and went to the bathroom.
She finished flushing the water and was about to come out when she heard the sound of Zhao Jianghe making a phone call outside. She didn't notice that Zhao Jianghe came here to answer the phone. He should have just come out of the bathroom and was talking on the phone.
handwashing.
The sound of dripping water reached Lin Mei's ears together with his voice, "Auntie Xie, I'll go over tonight. If you need anything, I'll bring it to you."
The only person who can make Zhao Jianghe shout like this is Xie Qujia...
From Zhao Jianghe's words, Xie Jinjia should have "turned to him" for a long time. He treated Xie Jinjia very well, patiently and gently, just like he said, he treated Xie Jinjia as his biological mother.
Xie Qujia must be safe over there in Zhao Jianghe.
But why didn't Zhao Jianghe tell Xing Zheng and Xing Sha about Xie Qujia's movements?
This question arose, and Lin Mei happened to hear Zhao Jianghe's words again, "Aunt Xie, now Uncle Xing and Azheng are looking for you all over the world. Do you really want to keep hiding? They are very worried about you. What's the problem?
, it’s better to communicate in person!”
After Zhao Jianghe said this, Lin Mei knew the reason. It must be that Xie Qujia had a conflict with Xing Sha because of Xing Zheng's relationship, so he chose this method to compete with Xing Sha.
Zhao Jianghe probably chose to hide it to take care of Xie Qujia's feelings. However, Xing Zheng and Xing Sha would be suspicious of him sooner or later. When the time comes, it would be difficult for him to be sandwiched between them.
"Okay, I won't tell you, don't be angry, I will listen to you." Outside the door, Zhao Jianghe cheered Xie Jinjia up, and Lin Mei guessed that Xie Jinjia must be in a mood.
After hearing how Zhao Jianghe "coaxed" Xie Qujia like this, Lin Mei understood why Xie Qujia was so kind to Zhao Jianghe. His son passed away early, and having such a considerate junior beside him made up for it to a certain extent.
She is emotionally empty, and Xing Zheng...
Even if there was no misunderstanding, a person like him would not be able to coax Xie Jinjia like Zhao Jianghe. Lin Mei thought of the confrontation between Xing Zheng and Xie Jinjia and laughed.
He is like a child who longs for attention, but is unwilling to show weakness and bow his head. He is as stubborn as a donkey, so he can only gain attention by standing out. When Xie Qujia disappeared this time, he landed himself in the hospital...
Outside, Zhao Jianghe's footsteps gradually faded away. Lin Mei picked up the phone, looked at Xing Zheng's profile picture on WeChat, and fell into deep thought.
She was hesitating whether to tell Xing Zheng about Xie Qujia. This chapter has been completed!
