One day, Jiang Chunian woke up to find herself transmigrated as the biological elder sister of a top-tier idol, who had been abducted for years and only recently found. She was also about to appear...
Of course Lin Sixian had checked it.
Time is limited, so Lin Sixian certainly cannot cast a wide net and spend the same amount of time and energy investigating the Lu and Zhou families.
He also asked people to investigate other members of the Lu and Zhou families, but he focused on Zhou Jianhong and Lu Jiayu.
And the facts proved that he was right.
A simple investigation confirmed that before Lin Siyu and Lu Jiaming got engaged two years ago, the two elders of the Lu family, Lu Jianjun, and Lu Jiaming had no health problems except for the two elders who had underlying diseases. According to Jiang Chunian's statement, they could be ruled out.
It's Zhou Jianhong, Lu Jiayu and the two elders of the Zhou family who have problems.
Lin Sixian's eyes flashed coldly. "Two years ago, Lu Jiayu did not attend Lu Jiaming and Siyu's engagement party. The Lu family's reason was that the Zhou family's old lady suddenly fell seriously ill, and Lu Jiayu was worried about her, so she had to stay abroad to tend to her in the hospital and couldn't come back for the wedding."
Jiang Chunian raised an eyebrow. "You think this is just an excuse. In fact, it wasn't Mrs. Zhou who was ill, but Lu Jiayu. However, Zhou Jianhong wanted to pin it on Miss Lin and was afraid of being exposed later. Therefore, she didn't dare to let you know that Lu Jiayu was ill, so she simply lied and said it was Mrs. Zhou who was ill. But Mrs. Zhou is also Zhou Jianhong's biological mother. If you were to suspect her, you would also be suspected if Mrs. Zhou was ill. Why bother?"
"Another point. Why did the two elders of the Zhou family cooperate with Zhou Jianhong? Since Zhou Jianhong was able to marry into the Lu family, the Zhou family should be well-off, right? They should understand that the marriage between Lu Jiaming and Miss Lin is not only beneficial to the Lu family, but also very helpful to the Zhou family. There is no reason for them to cut off their own arms and allow Zhou Jianhong to harm the interests of the Zhou family, right?"
"What you said does make sense." Lin Sixian looked at Jiang Chunian. "But there's one thing you don't know. Before Zhou Jianhong married into the Lu family, the Zhou family was just an ordinary working-class family."
"Ah." Jiang Chunian was surprised, and then revealed a thick gossip: "Then how did she marry into the Lu family? Could it be that she was so beautiful at the time that Lu Jianjun was bewitched and insisted on marrying her, and he forced his parents to make the marriage happen?"
This is not impossible.
Most parents in this world cannot prevail over their children.
But if that was the case, it would be too despicable for Lu Jianjun to marry her and then have an affair outside, and even let the mistress come to provoke Zhou Jianhong.
Lin Sixian didn't expect that Jiang Chunian was still a gossipy person. After all, she didn't seem like such a person in their previous encounters.
He laughed for a moment: "Not really. On the contrary, Lu Jianjun was forced by his parents to marry Zhou Jianhong."
It turned out that Mr. Lu had joined the army when he was young and was a comrade-in-arms with Zhou Jianhong's father. They had a good relationship, like brothers. Later, he retired and the two gradually lost contact.
Once, when Mrs. Lu was out, she encountered danger and was rescued by Zhou Jianhong. She immediately developed a liking for this kind-hearted, beautiful and outstanding girl. Later, when she went to Mr. Lu's house to express her gratitude, Mr. Lu discovered that Zhou Jianhong's father was actually his half-brother. With the brothers recognizing each other, the two families naturally became closer. Mrs. Lu naturally had more opportunities to get along with Zhou Jianhong, and she liked her more and more. In the end, she decided that Zhou Jianhong would be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family and marry her to Lu Jianjun.
Lu Jianjun was reluctant at first, but Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu were determined, and under such high pressure, Lu Jianjun had no choice but to marry.
Of course, this is not a reason for him to be unfaithful and cheat on his wife, and bully her. It can only be said that he is a scumbag.
After the Zhou and Lu families recognized each other, Grandpa Lu wanted to help his comrades, so he took Grandpa Zhou to do business and helped train Zhou Jianhong's younger brother. After Zhou Jianhong married into the Lu family, the support was much greater, and as a result, the Zhou family's business grew bigger and bigger. However, Grandpa Zhou was not a material for business after all, so when Zhou Jianhong's younger brother grew up, Zhou Jianhong's younger brother was the one who ran the Zhou family's business. The Zhou family's life was getting better and better, and they certainly had a net worth of billions, but compared with the Lu family, it was still not worth mentioning.
It is precisely because the Zhou family is very dependent on the Lu family that both Zhou's parents and Zhou's younger brother support Zhou Jianhong.
"So that's how it is." Jiang Chunian suddenly realized: "Since Zhou Jianhong's father was a soldier before, his ideas should be relatively conservative, right? Why did he go and live abroad for so many years?"
"It is said that Zhou Jianhong's father was in poor health and could not be cured in China, so he was sent abroad for treatment. Later, it was said that foreign countries were more suitable for him to recuperate, so Mrs. Zhou went abroad with him for recuperation. Later, Zhou Jianhong said that he was worried about his parents, so he took Lu Jiayu to live with his parents abroad for two years. Zhou Jianhong returned to China, but Lu Jiayu stayed abroad. One reason was that they wanted him to accompany the two elders of the Zhou family, and the other was that the educational conditions abroad were better than in China. In the following years, Zhou Jianhong shuttled back and forth between China and abroad, but Lu Jiayu rarely returned to China." Lin Sixian said.
Jiang Chunian always felt that something was wrong: "Even if they were to take care of the Zhou family's elders, they wouldn't need Zhou Jianhong, a married woman, right? It's even more impossible for Lu Jiayu, a grandson, to accompany them abroad? The Zhou family has no descendants? Would the Lu family agree? How is this different from giving the Zhou family a grandson for nothing?"
Although Lu Jiayu still has the Lu family surname, this child is close to whoever he grew up with. He has not had much contact with relatives from the Lu family since he was a child, so his feelings for them are definitely limited. On the contrary, he grew up with the two elders of the Zhou family, and he will have deeper feelings for them in the future.
Even if Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhou are brothers, this is intolerable, right?
Lin Sixian glanced at Jiang Chunian with appreciation. "You're absolutely right. This doesn't quite make sense. So, my people dug deeper and discovered that the truth is completely different from what the Lu and Zhou families have been saying. In fact, the one who was truly terminally ill for ten years and had to go abroad for treatment wasn't Old Man Zhou, but Lu Jiayu."
"My people found out that ten years ago, Lu Jiayu fell seriously ill and couldn't be cured in China. Zhou Jianhong took him abroad for treatment, and he was eventually cured. However, I heard that Lu Jiayu's health wasn't as good as before, and he needed to recuperate abroad. So Zhou Jianhong stayed with Lu Jiayu abroad for two years."
"During those two years, Lu Jianjun took a mistress and had a son. The Zhou family felt they couldn't let Zhou Jianhong stay abroad any longer. She had to return home as soon as possible to secure her position. That's why Mr. Zhou went abroad for treatment and then stayed there to recuperate, with Lu Jiayu accompanying him."
"So, the two elders of the Zhou family may indeed have some health issues, but the one with the real problem is Lu Jiayu." Jiang Chunian said, "Zhou Jianhong was able to accompany Lu Jiayu abroad for two years. It is obvious that she loves Lu Jiayu very much. If Lu Jiayu was critically ill and she had to lend Lu Jiayu a life span in order for him to survive, she would definitely not hesitate."
