Chapter 022 Chapter 22

Chapter 22 (Exclusively Authorized by Jinjiang)

It was easy to guess that Xie Liuzheng could also hear Shen Baili's thoughts.

First of all, Xie Zhiyu himself could hear Shen Baili's inner voice. After experiencing such an unscientific event, his ability to accept things was terrifyingly strong.

Secondly, Xie Liuzheng's behavior before and after and his vagueness about the source of the news that Duan Xing had cheated on his wife.

His aunt was a very simple person, and just as easy to understand as Xie Tingsi. Her shock and astonishment when she heard Shen Baili's inner thoughts at the dinner table were too obvious.

Third, Xie Liuzheng went to the hospital to have his ears and brain nerves checked, a process Xie Zhiyu was very familiar with.

Combining these three points, the answer is obvious.

Xie Zhiyu said directly, with a determined look: "Aunt, can you also hear the voice in her heart?"

Xie Liuzheng's face was full of disbelief: "Can you also hear Shen Baili's thoughts?"

She's not the only one with problems.

Shen Baili.

Xie Zhiyu didn't say the name just now, but Xie Liuzheng did.

"Yeah, I can hear what she's thinking," Xie Zhiyu admitted.

Likewise, he could draw inferences from one example: "Aunt, you got the news about my uncle's cheating from Suishun's heart, right?"

Xie Liuzheng was completely confused, his mind went blank: "How...how did you know?"

With just a few words, all of Xie Liuzheng's hidden secrets were exposed.

Of course, the reason why she was exposed so quickly and thoroughly was also because she was defenseless in front of Xie Zhiyu.

Xie Liuzheng's charm is also her fatal flaw.

When she completely trusts someone, she will trust him/her without reservation.

Duan Xing also took advantage of this point.

"Yes, I heard the news of Duan Xing's cheating from Shen Baili's inner voice. She told me the details that only Duan Xing and I knew."

"I thought there was something wrong with my brain at the time." Xie Liuzheng rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly.

Xie Zhiyu chuckled, his stern face was like a spring breeze, making people relax for some reason: "There is nothing wrong with our brains."

"Shen Baili, she is special."

"Maybe it's a supernatural ability?" Xie Zhiyu guessed.

He stood up and sat on the sofa: "Aunt, do you want to talk more?"

Xie Liuzheng: "Of course."

"So... did you know that Sang Ya and Mr. Gu's illegitimate son were secretly in love? Did you also hear what was going on?"

She quickly remembered.

"Yes, thanks to Sui Sui." Xie Zhiyu did not hesitate and gave a brief account of what had happened.

"For now, only the two of us know about this. Don't tell anyone else," he emphasized.

"I know." Xie Liuzheng knew the seriousness of the matter. She hesitated and asked, "Can't I even mention it to Bai Li?"

She felt that eavesdropping on the other person's thoughts was not a good thing.

Xie Zhiyu: "I tried to talk to Sui Sui about this, but once I brought up this topic with her, an unknown force would stop me from telling the truth."

After experiencing the reconstruction of his values ​​after hearing his inner voice, he tried to communicate with Shen Baili.

As the other party involved in the unnatural event, Shen Baili has the right to know the truth.

"Aunt, you can try to communicate with her, maybe you will get a different result." Xie Zhiyu encouraged.

Xie Liuzheng was shocked, and the world became magical.

"Can't you tell me?"

But this did not change her mind, she said firmly: "I will give it a try."

"I can't always hear Bai Li's inner voice." Xie Liuzheng recalled what happened in the mall.

Xie Zhiyu: "Neither can I. There are certain conditions required to hear the voice of one's heart."

"I don't know what the triggering conditions are, nor do I know why she knows these secrets, but it is undeniable that we are the beneficiaries."

Everyone has secrets, but Hsieh is not the type to dig into other people's secrets: "I respect her secrets and will protect her safety."

Shen Baili, who may have the ability to predict the future, would have disastrous consequences if she were targeted.

Xie Liuzheng looked at the extremely serious Xie Zhiyu in a daze. She understood the seriousness of the matter.

"I will keep this secret and won't tell anyone." She paused, "Including Duan Xing."

…

"Tell me about the voices you heard." Xie Zhiyu mentioned another important point.

After the two sides start talking, they can exchange more information.

Xie Liuzheng was a little embarrassed: "She said that Duan Xing has an illegitimate child, and through this adoption agreement, the child will be legally made mine..."

Xie Zhiyu's face darkened: "How dare he?!"

Xie Liuzheng held on to a last bit of hope in her heart, and she closed her eyes in pain.

"So... find evidence that will convince me of his betrayal."

Finding solid evidence will make me no longer have any luck or expectations.

"Okay." Xie Zhiyu said in a deep voice.

****

The next day, Shen Baili went to school as usual.

"Squad leader, there's a handsome guy looking for you."

Zhu Zhitao was very sensitive to this word: "What handsome guy?"

She looked around and saw the school idol at the classroom door: "It's Lu Mingqian."

"Seeing him early in the morning makes me feel refreshed." Zhu Zhitao said with his heart.

Shen Baili: "...if you apply some Fengyoujing, it will have the same effect."

"What does he want from me?"

With this doubt, she came to the door.

"Lu Mingqian, what's the matter?"

Lu Mingqian stood there quietly, tall as a pine tree, with a face like Guanyin, handsome and handsome. He gave people the feeling of orange soda in summer, refreshing and clean.

He is indeed a young man who is hailed as the candidate for the school idol of Haicheng No. 1 Middle School.

"Teacher Deng asked you to go to the office." Lu Mingqian explained, "It should be about the arrangements for the midterm exam."

"Midterm exam." Something surged through Shen Baili's heart: "Okay, thank you."

Lu Mingqian and Shen Baili walked side by side, the handsome boy and girl passed through the school corridor, the sound of Lang Lang reading came from the classroom, but the two of them were exceptionally quiet.

Even if the two of them don't do anything, just walking together is enough to attract countless people's attention.

"Wow, look outside!"

"It's the class monitor and Shen Baili. She's so pretty. She's the face of our freshman high school."

"What are they going to do?"

"Wow, they look like a perfect match together."

"The protagonists of campus novels enter reality."

The noise in the classroom did not affect Lu Mingqian and Shen Baili outside the corridor at all.

"Have you finished the Olympiad math problems?" Lu Mingqian took the initiative to ask.

"There's only half a page left. It's too difficult." Shen Baili smiled bitterly: "What about you?"

"It's very difficult. I still have one page left." Lu Mingqian paused and said, "Do you want to go to the library together this weekend?"

Shen Baili looked at him: "What?"

Lu Mingqian's eyes were bright and clear: "Let's do the math Olympiad together."

"Okay, see you at the entrance of the Provincial Library at 10am on Saturday." Shen Baili agreed, "Do you mind if I bring my friends over?"

"Don't mind, I'll be there on time."

"By the way, how are you doing with chemistry? Can you bring the chemistry problems from Saturday? I'll explain them to you," Lu Mingqian offered to help.

Shen Baili thanked him for his kindness but declined: "My brother hired a chemistry tutor for me, and it's much easier to learn now."

I have one-on-one chemistry tutoring every day, and the learning effect is very good. I don't know where Xie Zhiyu invited this famous teacher.

"Your brother is Xie..." Lu Mingqian remembered something.

"We're here." Shen Baili didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

Deng Qin saw her squad leader: "Bai Li, here."

Shen Baili: "The teacher called me, I went over first."

She came to Teacher Deng and said, "Teacher, are you looking for me?"

"Well, this is the midterm exam seating arrangement. Post it in the classroom so that students can check it out... Decorate the exam room the day before the exam..."

Shen Baili remembered: "Okay."

Deng Qin: "Thank you for your hard work."

Shen Baili smiled and reached out to gently touch the head of the little girl next to her.

The little girl had sparkling black eyes like big black grapes, and she had two pigtails. She sat on a stool that was taller than her, her calves swaying.

"Sister Baili, can you play with me?"

Before Shen Baili could speak, Deng Qin spoke up: "Mianmian, my sister has to go to school, you can't disturb her."

"When you come over, how about you promise Mom that you will stay in the office?"

Su Mianmian let go of a corner of Shen Baili: "Okay, Mianmian will listen to me."

"Sister Baili needs to study hard."

Shen Baili smiled and pinched the child's soft face: "Sister will play with you at noon."

She took out a lollipop from her pocket and said, "Mianmian is awesome. Sister will treat you to some candy."

Su Mianmian's voice was soft and tender, and she touched Shen Baili's palm affectionately: "Thank you, sister."

She took out a candy bar from her pocket. It was the last one. She was a little reluctant to give it away, but she still gave it to her favorite sister.

"Mianmian, please treat me to some milk candy. It's so delicious."

Shen Baili took it with a smile, her eyebrows curved like a crescent moon: "Thank you Mianmian."

Deng Qin was helpless: "It's tingling."

If she hadn't had no other choice, she wouldn't have brought her child to school.

Shen Baili: "Teacher, we all like Mianmian."

"I'm going to the classroom first."

She walked back to the classroom carrying a stack of math homework.

As soon as I walked out of the office, most of my homework was assigned to me: "Thank you, Lu Mingqian."

"You're welcome." Lu Mingqian said with a smile. When he smiled, there was a small dimple on the left side of his cheek, which alleviated his sense of alienation.

Shen Baili seemed to have discovered a new continent: "Your dimples are very beautiful."

Lu Mingqian: "Thank you, you are the second person to say that."

Shen Baili was curious: "Who was the first to say that?"

Lu Mingqian replied: "Meng Jiuan, we are childhood friends."

Shen Baili nodded.

childhood friend.

Meng family and Lu family.

The knowledge about the wealthy families that I had written down before became clear. There were three wealthy families in Haicheng, which were at the top of the pyramid.

The Xie family is the leader of the three top wealthy families. Together with the Meng family and the Lu family, they control most of the wealth and resources in Haicheng and even the entire country.

In the original novel, the decline of the Xie family was vaguely influenced by these two families.

Before they knew it, they walked back to the classroom.

Lu Mingqian helped her move her math homework to a classroom, and many classmates started to make a fuss.

"Lu Mingqian, you're almost becoming a non-regular member of our class. Why don't you transfer to class one and raise the average appearance level of the boys in our class?"

“Hahahahahaha.”

Lu Mingqian was not angry at being teased: "That won't do. The humor value of the boys in Class 2 will drop a lot."

Many people were amused by him, and Shen Baili was no exception: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Lu Mingqian returned to Class 2.

Shen Baili walked up to the podium: "Quiet!"

"The midterm exam for this semester has been scheduled. It will start this Wednesday and last for three days..."

There was a burst of ghostly howling in the classroom.

Class 2 classroom.

When Ji Qi saw Lu Mingqian coming in, he quickly grabbed him and said, "Why did you go to the office for so long and help Shen Baili with her homework?"

"Do you like our school beauty?" Ji Qi winked.

Meng Jiuan also looked over.

Lu Mingqian: "No, is there anything strange about helping classmates?"

Ji Qi nodded: "Strange."

Although Lu Mingqian seems to be easy to get along with, in fact, few people can get into his heart, let alone be willing to help others so frequently.

Lu Mingqian tapped him on the head with his homework book and said, "You'd better study hard. If you rank last in the exam this time, all your pocket money will be deducted."

Ji Qi put on a mask of pain.

Meng Jiuan lay down on the table and fell asleep again.

***

These days, everyone in the Xie family has become extremely busy.

With Xie Liuzheng's additional information, the private detective's work progressed by leaps and bounds, and the undercover agent in the beauty salon also brought good news.

Xie Zhiyu handed the information he found to Xie Liuzheng.

The evidence of Duan Xing's infidelity is solid, but he did much more than that. He accepted bribes, transferred property during marriage, and was suspected of having too close contact with the senior executives of the Xie family...

"The person Duan Xing cheated with is called Qiao Yun. She used to be a student at his art training school. She followed him for a long time. After she got pregnant unexpectedly, she gave up dancing and focused on keeping the baby safe. She has been kept by him until now..."

"The money he paid to Qiao Yun every month was paid out through the beauty salon, so the accounts usually showed that everything was normal."

"Their child is called Duan Sheng, the little Sheng you met at Furui Welfare Home..."

All the evidence confirmed the accuracy of Shen Baili's thoughts.

The last bit of luck was crushed by the paternity certificate in his hand.

Duan Sheng is five years old this year. That is, six years ago, when Xie Liuzheng was actively preparing for pregnancy and her belly was covered with bruises from injections, Duan Xing had already cheated on her with his own student.

Thinking of herself happily playing with Xiaosheng in the orphanage, Xie Liuzheng found it ridiculous. Duan Xing would probably think the same way, teasing her like Xiao Chou.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Xie Liuzheng couldn't help but feel disgusted.

The memory of Duan Xing, the one who would blush when praising her, the Duan Xing who ran to see her, the Duan Xing who did everything to marry her, the Duan Xing who was so nervous that he couldn't sleep on the eve of the wedding, the Duan Xing who cried like a baby at the wedding, the Duan Xing who said he would treat her well all his life...all seemed to have disappeared with the wind at this moment.

Xie Liuzheng sat on the sofa, his legs felt weak and his heart felt like it was being torn apart by a pair of huge hands, bleeding profusely.

The more she thought about it, the more disgusted she became. She lay over the trash can and tried to vomit, but nothing came out.

The once beautiful marriage revealed its cruel side at this moment, like a rose covered with insect eggs, which had already rotted inside and emitted a foul stench, but maintained a bright and beautiful appearance on the surface.

Xie Liuzheng kept gagging until his throat was filled with the taste of blood, but he couldn't stop.

Xie Zhiyu looked at her worriedly: "Aunt, are you okay?"

"Would you like to take a break?"

He squatted beside her and patted her back gently.

Xie Liuzheng calmed down, wiped the tears from her eyes, and insisted, "Go on, I can bear it."

She wanted to completely peel off the last veil and see how bad Duan Xing would become.

Xie Zhiyu looked at the information in his hand and felt a little reluctant.

His hatred for Duan Xing reached its peak.

"In the ten years since I was married to you, Duan Xing has transferred nearly 80 million yuan in assets by purchasing calligraphy and ceramics..."

The transfer of property has been going on in recent years. After Duan Xing gradually gained the trust of the Xie family, his greed, appetite, and courage all grew.

Duan Xing no longer loves Xie Liuzheng, but he is reluctant to give up the Xie family's huge wealth.

In order to marry Xie Liuzheng, Duan Xing signed a prenuptial agreement, which stipulated that if the two divorced, he would not get any of Xie Liuzheng's property and would have to leave the house.

Over the years, with the support of the Xie family and relying on Xie Liuzheng's reputation as a talented pianist, Duan Xing's art training school has been thriving, earning him both fame and fortune, as well as a lot of gray income.

Duan Xing knew very well that without the Xie family and Xie Liuzheng, he would not be able to live as gloriously as he does now.

Maybe he still loved Xie Liuzheng, but the world of fame and fortune made him lost and tempted to open Pandora's box.

Based on the investigation results, Xie Zhiyu estimated that Duan Xing had at least 200 million yuan in assets under his name, most of which was deposited in personal accounts in foreign banks, and a small portion was deposited in the names of Duan Xing's parents.

Even if they get divorced, these properties will not be counted as Duan Xing's assets. He has already calculated everything.

Xie Zhiyu also found out a hidden clue that Duan Xing was connected to Gu Yeliang. Why would two people who had nothing in common get together?

The answer is obvious.

Secretly, countless eyes were staring at the Xie family.

Xie Liuzheng flipped through the documents, one by one, from the photos of Duan Xing's affair to the hard evidence of his transfer of assets. She read them slowly, as if she wanted to engrave them in her heart, leaving wounds all over it.

She repeatedly stabbed the knife into her chest and tore the wound open, as if to torture herself.

Xie Zhiyu squatted down and handed her the paper box: "Auntie."

"I……"

Xie Liuzheng said in a hoarse voice: "Zhiyu, let me be alone for a while."

"good."

Before leaving, Xie Zhiyu turned up the indoor temperature and gently closed the study door.

…

Xie Liuzheng didn't cry. She stayed in the study for more than an hour.

After she came out, she found Xie Zhiyu and her voice was so cold that it made people feel cold.

"Zhiyu, I will make Duan Xing pay the price."

"Help me."

Xie Zhiyu hugged Xie Liuzheng: "Of course."

Shen Baili happened to be walking up from the stairs, and seeing the two people who were in a bad mood, she wanted to leave quietly.

However, Xie Chengyue just happened to come up and said, "Sui Sui, what's wrong?"

Shen*Dilemma*Bai Li: "I remembered I forgot something in the living room, and I was just about to go get it."

"Go ahead."

Shen Baili didn't have the courage to look back, so she ran downstairs in a hurry and disappeared in a moment.

Xie Chengyue went upstairs and saw his son and sister standing in the corridor like door gods: "..."

Xie Liuzheng mustered up his courage and looked at Xie Chengyue: "Brother, I have something to say to you."

Xie Chengyue looked solemn and walked into the study: "Come with me."

…

night.

After Shen Wan finished washing up, she was the first to notice that something was wrong with Xie Chengyue: "What's wrong? Who made you angry?"

Xie Chengyue put down the book in his hand and said, "How do you know I'm angry?"

He patted his side and said, "Wanwan, chat with me."

Shen Wan sat beside him and covered them both with a thin summer quilt.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Xie Chengyue: "I think the human heart is a strange thing."

“People change.”

Even after more than half of my life, I still feel heartbroken when faced with betrayal by someone close to me.

The Xie family had never treated Duan Xing badly, but in the end, he became an unknown figure.

Late at night always makes people sad. Maybe it was because his close friend was by his side, and Xie Chengyue suddenly felt angry and wanted to confide in him.

Shen Wan said softly: "People will change, we can't change."

By the time she learned this lesson, she was badly injured, luckily... luckily, Shunshun was by her side.

Xie Chengyue: "Yes, people will change."

"What's making you so uncomfortable?" Shen Wan patted his shoulder and said, "You can lean on my shoulder for now."

I thought Xie Chengyue would hesitate, but he actually leaned on her shoulder: "Yeah, very down-to-earth."

Shen Wan was a little surprised: "Of course, I have carried a family on my shoulders."

She is very proud.

Xie Chengyue said sincerely: "No wonder he is so down-to-earth."

“You’re amazing.”

Under the dim light, Shen Wan seemed to see Xie Chengyue's vulnerable side: "You are also very powerful."

"Not only did he carry the Xie family, he also carried the families of countless others."

Shen Wan rubbed his shoulders with her hands: "Relax your shoulders at the right time so that you won't get hurt."

She didn't know what happened, but she was sensitive to Xie Chengyue's emotions. She didn't understand the company's strategy, management, etc., but she would comfort him.

Xie Chengyue sat up and gently squeezed his shoulders: "Loosen your shoulders, too."

Shen Wan smiled and said, "Thank you very much. My shoulders feel much more relaxed now."

Xie Chengyue raised his lips slightly, with a hint of smile in his eyes: "How's the massage strength?"

Shen Wan: "Very comfortable, Mr. Xie's cooking skills are great."

The two chatted for a while, and Xie Chengyue put aside his brief sadness: "Xiao Zheng will be home in a few days, please help me to counsel her."

The Xie family will not let Duan Xing go.

"What happened to my sister-in-law?"

Xie Chengyue did not hide the truth and told her the truth: "This matter must be kept secret. Just keep it to yourself and don't tell anyone."

"Sui Sui is not good either." He explained: "Children are easy to be tricked by people with ulterior motives."

"Wait until everything is settled, then tell her."

Shen Wan nodded in agreement.

****

After Duan Xing jumped into the trap that Xie Zhiyu had dug for him.

Xie Liuzheng brought his lawyer to meet the haggard Duan Xing.

This was the first time Duan Xing and Xie Liuzheng had been so violent since they got married.

Such miserable days will happen countless times in the future, but Duan Xing does not understand this.
