The man was silent, and Jiang Li was right. His current status, and obtaining a marriage certificate required review and approval by the organization.
He had investigated Jiang Li's identity before, and he knew very well that their marriage was impossible to be recognized and might even ruin his future.
Seeing that the man was silent, Jiang Li smiled faintly. It was not sarcasm, but he felt that everything this man had shown in the past few days was a bit childish.
"Young Master Mu, forget what happened that night. From now on, you will walk on your broad road, and I will walk on my single-plank bridge. No one of us knows each other. Well, it's getting late, so let's go."
Jiang Li issued an eviction order, and the man froze in place. The traditional education he had received since childhood forced him to face the absurdity of that night, especially when he woke up the next day, the touch of red on the white sheets had always been in front of his eyes these days.
emerge.
Seeing that the man didn't move at all, Jiang Li frowned slightly, then smiled coquettishly, walked directly in front of the man, raised his head, and said with a charming look on his face.
"What? Could it be that Young Master Mu wants to stay here?"
While she was talking, Jiang Li was already taking off her coat. She didn't believe she couldn't drive this man away, so she said while taking it off.
"To be honest, I felt good that night. I don't mind spending the night with Mr. Mu in Wenquan."
As he said that, Jiang Li had already reached out to the man's shirt button with one hand, but the next second, the man stepped back and said with an angry look.
"I've never seen a woman like you."
Jiang Li smiled charmingly, continued to step forward, and said in a faint voice.
"Now that we have met, do you think a woman like me is suitable to be your wife? I am different from the woman you love."
"That's enough. In this case, I will forget what happened that night."
After saying that, the man turned around and left the tent.
Seeing that the man finally left, Jiang Li fell down on the bed and exhaled loudly.
After a while, the sound of a car leaving was heard outside the door. Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, turned off the light and went to bed, all at once.
Two days after Xiao Yihe met He Bowen and Gu Qiyang, Mrs. Huo also returned to Kyoto from Penang. However, she did not go back to Su Chunjing Yuan when she came back. Instead, she was taken directly to Yaoyuan Group by Gu Qiyang.
"Yihe, are you so anxious to get me back? Did something happen to Xiaolan?"
After meeting her son-in-law at the company, Mrs. Huo spoke worriedly.
Yesterday, Xiao Yihe called Mrs. Huo, but he didn't explain the matter clearly. He just said that he had something very important to tell her. No, Mrs. Huo was worried all the way, fearing that something would happen to her daughter.
"Mom, don't be nervous. Xiaolan is fine. What I want to say has nothing to do with Xiaolan. You sit down first, drink a glass of water and rest for a while."
Xiao Yihe opened his mouth to calm down Mrs. Huo's mood. In fact, he hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to tell his mother-in-law about the matter first, and then decide how to tell Huo Lan.
Mrs. Huo was not in the mood to drink tea now. Although she had not stayed with Xiao Yihe for a long time, one thing she knew very well was that his son-in-law would not go to all the trouble to get her back from Penang unless necessary.
At this time, Gu Qiyang had already made a cup of tea for Mrs. Huo, and she took a sip and then spoke again.
"Yihe, just tell me if you have anything to do."
Xiao Yihe glanced at Gu Qiyang. Gu Qiyang immediately walked to the desk, took out a document bag, and placed it in front of Mrs. Huo. Then Xiao Yihe also spoke.
"Mom, Xiaolan and I received a document some time ago, which showed that there was another secret behind the bankruptcy of my father-in-law's company. Some time ago, Qiyang went to Penang and investigated some inside stories, but there are some things in it that I don't know what to do about.
How to tell Xiaolan, so I decided to tell you first."
When Mrs. Huo heard Xiao Yihe's words, her face changed slightly, her brows furrowed, and her face was gradually stained with sadness. All the bad memories from the past came back. She has not forgotten the situation when her husband committed suicide.
After Xiao Yihe finished speaking, he regretted seeing Mrs. Huo sitting there motionless. He had been worried that Huo Lan would not be able to accept it, but he forgot that his mother-in-law also suffered from depression because of this. Now that the old matter is brought up again, he is afraid that
It's going to be exciting again.
"Mom, are you okay? I'm sorry, I ignored your feelings."
At this time, Mrs. Huo came back to her senses, shook her head, then looked at the document bag in front of her, then took a sip from the teacup in front of her and said.
"I'm fine. It's been so long. I just feel a little sad thinking about Lan Lan's father."
After saying that, Mrs. Huo picked up the document bag on the table, opened it and flipped through a few pages, then reached out and pinched her eyebrows, and then put the document down.
"I'm getting older, and I feel dizzy after reading a few pages. Yihe, you better tell me, what happened back then?"
"Factional fighting, my father-in-law's Tucson Group has always had a leader who secretly supported your eldest brother in those years. For almost three years, he had nearly 100 million people, helping to manage relationships at all levels, with the purpose of helping that person ascend to that high position.
But later, your eldest brother's faction lost, and in order to protect himself, the leader had to withdraw one person as a backer. At that time, Wanhui Real Estate happened to be interested in Tucson Real Estate and exchanged interests, so my father-in-law was sacrificed."
Hearing this, Mrs. Huo's face turned pale. In fact, she was aware of what happened back then, and even asked her brother, but at that time the eldest brother personally denied that the incident was related to the factional struggle, and she was just a housewife, suffering from the lack of
Evidence, and then I directly suffered from depression, so the matter was dropped.
In the past two years, Mrs. Huo has gradually forgotten the painful past, and because she saw her daughter find happiness and have a lovely grandson, she no longer wants to mention the past things.
But now, Xiao Yihe's information put all the truth of that incident in front of her eyes, and all the memories came flooding back, especially the blank stares and indifference she suffered during that time.
What makes Mrs. Huo heartbroken the most is her eldest brother. How could she sacrifice her husband for his own rights? He was his brother-in-law.
When Xiao Yihe saw Mrs. Huo sitting there motionless, with a sad expression and dim eyes, he spoke with some concern.
"Mom, are you okay?"
Hearing the voice, Mrs. Huo came back to her senses, looked up at the calm man in front of her, who was her daughter's husband, and suddenly shook her head as if she had a backbone.
"I'm fine, Yihe, does Xiaolan know about this?"
Xiao Yihe shook his head and said.
"No, she is about to reach her due date. I'm afraid that this will irritate her, so I haven't told her yet, but I'm afraid I won't be able to hide this for long. She has been waiting for the results of the investigation."
When Mrs. Huo heard Xiao Yihe's words, she breathed a sigh of relief at first, then frowned and said hurriedly.
"Don't let Xiaolan know about this matter for the time being. Just delay it if you can. If she asks, she will say that she is still investigating."
Mrs. Huo was worried about Huo Lan's health, and Xiao Yihe could only nod in agreement. Apart from this, he couldn't think of any better way.
Later, Xiao Yihe asked again.
"Mom, what are you going to do about this matter? Xiaolan said that she wants to take back her father-in-law's company. I am very confident in this. As long as the truth is revealed, Wanhui Real Estate will be illegally misappropriated. But in this case
Mr. Cao may also be implicated."
If this matter did not involve Huo Lan's relatives, Xiao Yihe would not be so entangled. With his past behavior, he would definitely seek revenge and eradicate the root cause.
Mrs. Huo was silent. It was indeed difficult for her to decide on this matter.
On one side is her deceased husband, and on the other side is her brother from the same mother. Moreover, when she returned to Penang this time, her eldest brother was very kind to her. But now that she thinks about it, I am afraid that what she did is just to make up for the mistakes she made back then.
It must have been a mistake.
Now that their parents are gone, the eldest brother is the backbone of their family. If this matter is pursued, I'm afraid there will no longer be a Cao family in Penang.
Xiao Yihe also knew that his mother-in-law was in trouble, so he said.
"If you don't want to hurt the harmony between the two families, then wait for two years. As far as I know, Xiaolan's uncle only has two years left before he should retire. Then we will settle the accounts together. That's all.
I wonder if Xiaolan will agree."
"Forget it, since he was able to push Xiaolan's father out for power back then, then there is no brother-sister relationship between me and him. I'm not afraid of your jokes. After Xiaolan's father had an accident, I was debt-collected.
In the end, all the properties were mortgaged and I had no place to live. I thought about seeking refuge with my elder brother, but he only gave me a little money to go to the United States to find Xiaolan. He never thought of coming forward to help me solve those problems. In the end, he still
Xiaolan’s aunt took me in.”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Huo let out a long sigh, thinking of the three brothers and sisters when they were young, and she didn't know when their feelings started to change.
Her eldest brother is in politics and their family is in business. Her younger sister is more ordinary. She works as a teacher in an elementary school with average conditions and can only be considered well-off.
