At my ex-boyfriend's engagement banquet, I appeared in full attire. He thought I was there to cause trouble, but I smiled very kindly and said, "We'll all be family from now on, no need...
Chapter 889: My Farsightedness
The more I listened, the angrier I became. I couldn't help but ask him, "How did you know all this? And in such detail?"
Xiao Shiqiu touched his nose and said, "It's a coincidence that my friend's sister is a classmate of your aunt, and they have a somewhat bad relationship.
My friend said he'd heard his sister gossiping about your aunt behind her back a lot, and this time he took the initiative to ask her, and his cousin was so eager to make a PPT of all the stories about your aunt for him."
It seems that Xiao Shiqiu really has such a friend, and it is not a fabricated one.
"So they are still in contact now?"
"Well, it is said that they met three times in the past week..."
I didn't wait for him to finish and asked hurriedly, "Are you staying overnight?"
He shook his head. "That wasn't captured on film, but the day before yesterday afternoon, they went to a hot spring on the outskirts of the city and stayed there for over three hours."
More than three hours is enough time for a lot to happen, and I certainly know what this means.
Seeing that I didn't say anything for a long time, Xiao Shiqiu patted the back of my hand to comfort me, "Think positively, at least they got together after the class reunion, and your cousin should be your uncle's biological children."
I looked at him, speechless, feeling that I wasn't comforted at all.
My chest felt stuffy, as if it was blocked by a piece of mud, and I felt nauseous and uncomfortable.
My uncle listens to his wife so much, he must love her very much. Should I tell him about this?
"If I tell my uncle, will they get divorced?
Should the house be divided in half?
Each child should have one, right?
My cousin had to come back with his uncle alone, and I’m afraid it will be difficult for my cousin to see him in the future.
By the way, my mother also has to worry about my uncle finding another one, and she doesn’t know whether to look in City A or City T.
It would be best to look for it in City A, but my mother doesn’t know many people in City A, so she will most likely leave this matter to me.
"Alas, where can I find an aunt of the same age for my uncle?" I rambled on and on.
Xiao Shiqiu stared at me without saying a word. When I looked up, I felt that his expression was a little distorted.
"Why don't you say anything? Give me some advice."
"What's your idea? Introduce a blind date to your uncle?" Xiao Shiqiu's mouth twitched.
"Now? Isn't it a bit early?" I thought a little embarrassedly.
He stroked his forehead, "You're still a little early! How come I didn't realize you were so... farsighted before!
I was just talking about your aunt's suspected affair, but you, not only have your uncle's property and children been distributed to others, but even a blind date has been scheduled for you!
Does your mother know that you worry so much about your uncle?"
I seemed to have thought too much, so I said silently, "Should I hide it from my uncle first? Wait for him to find out?"
"You decide for yourself. I don't think there's any need to rush into a decision. If your aunt still plans to live happily with your uncle, then maybe not knowing is a good thing."
Suddenly, the food in front of me didn't smell good anymore. Finally, I shook my head and said, "Forget it. They're coming to City A soon. The man is in Lincheng. I guess they won't see each other much in the future."
I think my uncle loves my aunt very much, and my cousins definitely don't want their parents to divorce. Even if I tell my uncle, he will probably choose to forgive me, so why bother to upset him?"
Xiao Shiqiu squeezed my fingers and asked, "Have you thought it through?"
"Hmm." I lowered my head and ate my food, not tasting it. "If I make a mistake and destroy their family for nothing, my cousins will hate me to death."
"Okay." Xiao Shiqiu didn't say anything more, just picked up a piece of pork ribs for me and said, "Eat."
I ate a few mouthfuls of rice in silence when he suddenly asked, "By the way, what were you trying to tell me just now? It wasn't something that would make me just eat my food in silence, was it?"
He deliberately said it in a light-hearted tone to tease me.
What was I going to say? I've been so worried about my uncle that I almost forgot I had anything to say to him.
I bit my chopsticks and thought for a while before I remembered. I said slowly, "I remember now. It's your ex..."
Before I could finish, he interrupted me with a frown, "Did He Qingrong cause trouble for you?"
I was stunned. "No, it's not her, it's Si Kou Ting's business."
He immediately acted like he had suffered a great injustice and hurriedly defended himself, "Si Kou Ting has nothing to do with me. She is not my ex."
"Oh, I know. I was talking about your former assistant..." I blinked innocently. It was his fault for interrupting me so impatiently.
He exhaled, "The little girl has become bad, she even gasps for breath when she speaks.
Tell me, did Si Kou Ting cause trouble for you? That shouldn't be the case, what could you two possibly have in common? "
"That's not the case. I saw her on the surveillance camera at COLLIN today."
I told Xiao Shiqiu everything I saw in the surveillance video that afternoon and the fact that she had special permissions for COLLIN.
As he listened, his expression grew serious.
"This matter doesn't seem to be simple," he put down his chopsticks, his eyes becoming sharp. "Lu Yuanqing is definitely not someone who would casually give such important company authority to a woman just because they are lovers."
I tilted my head and speculated, "Could it be that they are truly in love and planning to get married?"
Xiao Shiqiu sneered, "Planning to get married? If before we got engaged, I was involved in a lot of scandals outside of you, and was frequently in the entertainment news with some celebrity, would you still want to marry me?"
I immediately sat up straight, "Don't you dare! If you're looking for a celebrity, I'll immediately find eighteen male models!"
He looked at me with amusement, and after a long pause he managed to utter, "Find eighteen male models and negotiate a group purchase price with them?"
I was amused by him, "But what you said makes sense, if Lu Yuanqing really cared about Si Kouting that much, he wouldn't have so many scandals outside.
Could it be that Sikou Ting has some special value to him? Providing him with business intelligence?"
"Unlikely," he shook his head and continued to analyze, "If it's valuable, it can be exchanged for money, and giving her such free access shows a lot of trust.
You know, the Lu family's secret dealings are deadly, so what kind of relationship could make Lu Yuanqing trust someone so much?"
"One of our own." I blurted out, "That's not right. Before you asked her to be your assistant, you should have checked her background. She can't be a member of the Lu family, right?"
Xiao Shiqiu frowned, "Indeed, the background we found was very clean. Both his parents died when he was young, and he was adopted by an ordinary family. He relied on his own efforts to get into B University and has outstanding abilities.
She looks like an inspiring girl.
The only place where I might have crossed paths with Lu Yuanqing...is the welfare home!"
