In her previous life, Zhong Qiao was the modern Wang Baochuan, rejecting wealth and luxury to elope with a scumbag. She savored their lean meals and gnawed on wild vegetables, thinking it was sweet...
Chapter 194
There must be a problem.
Zhong Qiao turned on a dim little lamp on the table, and looking at the light, he felt better.
Uncle Lin, there is a problem.
I don’t know if it was his first instinct, but Zhong Qiao felt that Uncle Lin made himself so embarrassed when he came from Hong Kong to Suzhou this time. There must be other hidden secrets.
Because in her memory, Uncle Lin was not a person who did not make plans. He came to Suzhou alone, but only brought Hong Kong dollars that could not be exchanged for RMB. No matter which point, it was very suspicious.
But now there is no clue and no evidence, Zhong Qiao cannot make an accusation based on his intuition alone.
We still have to find a way.
Early the next morning, Zhong Qiao got up with dark circles under her eyes. In order to make herself look better, she wiped her face with a wet towel, put on some light powder and applied nude lipstick.
After I left the house, everyone in my family was a little surprised.
"Sister." Zhong Siqi looked at her, "You never get up so early before, and you don't wear makeup unless you go to the market. What's wrong today?"
Zhong Qiao took a sip of millet porridge and looked at Uncle Lin calmly: "I have a date today."
She was naturally making up an excuse. At the very least, she couldn't let the truth be revealed in front of everyone.
Zhong Siqi glanced at Ji Hebai and said, "Brother-in-law, where are you going today?"
Ji Hebai glanced at Zhong Qiao, who was still drinking his porridge calmly: "I'll listen to your sister."
The two people had not communicated with each other before, but they still had this tacit understanding.
Zhong Siqi said, "I'm not interested in what's going on."
His childish appearance made several adults laugh.
"You should try harder and go keep Fang He company." Mother Zhong was worried about her stupid son.
"Do we still need to remind you of this? Don't always ask us to teach you."
Father Zhong raised an eyebrow and said, "When I was pursuing your mother, I sent her flowers every few days. Boy, you are too passive. If it were in the past, you would have been destined to be a bachelor."
"Oh?" Uncle Lin became interested. "Siqi, do you already have a girlfriend? I've never heard you mention it. Who is she?"
"Her name is Fang He." Zhong Siqi scratched his head embarrassedly. "Uncle Lin, I'll bring her to see you next time. She's a very nice person, but she doesn't like to talk much."
Uncle Lin smiled and nodded, acting like an elder: "That's good. In Suzhou, you haven't messed around, and you can still meet someone you like."
A group of people were laughing and the atmosphere was pretty good, but Zhong Qiao was not in the mood. He gave Ji Hebai a look and he followed.
"What's wrong?" Ji Hebai said.
Zhong Qiao pondered for a moment: "Do you remember the last time you told me that my dad was poisoned? Actually, I have always had a boyfriend who is worth a lot of money."
Ji Hebai interrupted her: "Is it your uncle?"
Zhong Qiao was already accustomed to the tacit understanding between the two.
"right."
"Why?"
Zhong Qiao said, "I can't really put my finger on what's so strange about it, but I just feel like Uncle Lin's sudden visit to Suzhou isn't that simple. He's so embarrassed, it feels more like he's running away, leaving behind his children and wife."
Ji Hebai nodded: "I have the same doubt."
When I came in the morning, I found that Uncle Lin was a little strange. Not only did he not like to go out, but he also seemed afraid to see people.
Ji Hebai was afraid that he would stay at home and cause inconvenience to the two women, so he found an excuse to help him find a house, but he not only did not seem to be in a hurry, but also seemed to be very reluctant.
Ji Hebai didn't know what to say to his elders, so he put the matter aside for the time being.
"Do you have any new discoveries?" Ji Hebai asked.
Zhong Qiao didn't hesitate and told Ji Hebai everything he saw and heard.
Ji Hebai's face showed anxiety. "So, his intentions are obviously not good. Even though he hasn't done anything to us yet, there are still certain risks. We have to find a way to get him out."
Otherwise, if we keep him at home, who knows how much trouble it will cause.
This exactly matched Zhong Qiao's thoughts.
"The question is how can we get him to move out willingly?"
Ji Hebai pondered for a moment and said, "I'll figure out a way to do this."
Zhong Qiao already had enough trust in him, so he didn't refute it, and said, "I leave it to you."
In the next few days, Zhong Qiao had no time to pay attention to his business, but instead observed his uncle.
It feels more and more strange.
Not only did he never go out, but even after being in Suzhou for so long, he never thought of borrowing a phone to call home to report his safety.
If she remembered correctly, his Russian wife gave birth to a son for him, who should be less than one year old now.
He didn't miss his wife and children at all.
Two days later, before Ji Hebai could come up with a solution, Zhong's mother could no longer bear it.
She couldn't stand living under the same roof with a strange man. Every day in her own home, she felt like a thief, and nothing she did felt right.
After a brief discussion with Mr. Zhong, the two decided to give Uncle Lin some money to let him move out.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Lin behaved very normally after hearing it, even very calm, which made Zhong Qiao at a loss for a moment.
Ji Hebai comforted her: "In this way, we can rest assured. Before the matter is thoroughly investigated, he must keep a certain distance from us."
Zhong Qiao had no choice but to give up.
The place chosen for Uncle Lin is very close to home, about a five-minute bike ride away, which makes it convenient for the Zhong Qiao family to visit occasionally.
Uncle Lin also gave them a reply.
He did not stay in Suzhou for a long time, but would return to Hong Kong after about a month.
It sounds ordinary, but Zhong Qiao is still worried.
But things have developed to this point, and Zhong Qiao can't keep holding on to it. He simply waits and sees what happens and starts to deal with the affairs of his own warehouse.
The last time she went to the street to look for a new site for a new warehouse, she couldn't find one, so she asked Jingui to take a closer look. Jingui did not disappoint her and found a place that was within Zhong Qiao's budget.
The place is a bit remote, but not deserted. Zhong Qiao went to see it and found out that it used to be a steel mill, but it was abandoned because the owner went bankrupt.
His brother took over, and then it was Zhong Qiao's turn.
Zhong Qiao negotiated the price with them for a long time and finally agreed on a price that was within the budget.
Decided to move in at the end of the month.
In addition, Zhong Qiao decided to give himself a vacation. For so long, his brain has been in an excited state, and he has been constantly inspired. Now, Zhong Qiao really feels that he has no ideas anymore.
She planned to go out for a walk, perhaps she could get some new ideas through life and come up with new designs.
