Lin Yan rolled over on the bed and happened to see the direction where Lu Jinghuai was sitting. She couldn't help but ask a question.
"Do you have work tonight?"
Lu Jinghuai didn't raise his eyes but said "hmm". Lin Yan didn't notice the depression in his voice, but patted the place beside her.
"That bench is so uncomfortable to sit on. Why don't you just sit on the bed and do your work?"
Lin Yan felt sad just looking at the small bench. Besides, the bed in Zhang Guodong's guest room was hard but quite large, and the two of them could hardly touch each other unless they moved around. Lin Yan and Lu Jinghuai had been sleeping in the same bed for a while, so they wouldn't feel embarrassed about sleeping in the same bed.
Lu Jinghuai on the other side paused again, and when he looked up, there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.
Lin Yan felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at her.
[No, why is Lu Jinghuai looking at me like that? Could it be that there's company secrets in the work he's working on that he doesn't want me to see, so he's not coming up yet? If he doesn't want to come up, then don't come up. Just looking at him makes me feel uneasy.]
Lu Jinghuai licked the back of his teeth helplessly, stood up, sat on the bed next to Lin Yan, and continued to work.
Lin Yan blinked and moved obediently to the edge of the bed without looking at Lu Jinghuai's phone screen.
Maybe she felt bored, so she took out her mobile phone to play games again. Because the network in the mountains was so bad, if she died in other games, she would be scolded by her teammates.
The game Lin Yan played this time was Happy Match, a quick game that took a few minutes per round.
After playing a few rounds, he felt a little bored and turned over to look at Lu Jinghuai beside him.
Lu Jinghuai is still working.
[Tsk, society should give Lu Jinghuai a Model Worker Award. He's been catching up on work late into the night for days. It's even harder than catching up on homework when I was in school.]
Lu Jinghuai's typing hand paused for a moment, then he reacted and sent the last email.
He turned off his phone and lowered his eyes to meet Lin Yan's.
Lin Yan blinked, feeling the atmosphere was awkward for some reason, and she looked away awkwardly.
[Why is Lu Jinghuai acting so strange tonight? If this continues, I'm starting to wonder if Lu Jinghuai has fallen in love with me!]
【Hahahaha, how is that possible! 】
Lu Jinghuai also withdrew his gaze and rubbed his head, suddenly feeling a little helpless.
In fact, he also noticed that he was a little strange today. Maybe it was not just today, but he had been a little strange since the accident on the cruise ship that day, but he didn't want to continue to dwell on it.
The woman next to him is always thinking about divorce.
Lu Jinghuai suppressed the chaotic emotions in his mind and asked directly, "What do you think?"
Lin Yan was unable to react for a moment. This sudden question made her a little confused.
"Whatever you look at, whatever you look at."
Lu Jinghuai lowered his eyes, his pupils dark: "Didn't you ask Zhang Guodong at the dinner table?"
Lin Yan instantly realized what Lu Jinghuai was asking. Lu Jinghuai was not a fool. He naturally thought of the same questions that Lin Yan could think of. He also naturally saw through Lin Yan's test of Zhang Guodong.
[Oh, so this is a question. I thought Lu Jinghuai was going to ask something else, but he didn't even finish his sentence.]
Lin Yan rolled her eyes and complained a few words, but her expression turned serious.
She didn't beat around the bush and directly stated her guess.
"Based on my observations, the information provided by Wang Tiezhu and Zhang Guodong, I have a feeling that the cousin Wang Tiezhu mentioned is very likely your sister."
After saying this, Lin Yan paused and added.
"Your Bai Yue..." Noticing the inquiring look in Lu Jinghuai's eyes, Lin Yan added, "Didn't Song Jingya say that Lu Yingqian was in Daliang Village? But the facts prove that she's not in Daliang Village. So, Lu Yingqian is most likely in the home of a villager from Xiaoliang Village who has connections to Daliang Village."
"The main reason is that no matter how backward this place is, cousins wouldn't marry each other, right? The Xu family's daughter is most likely not their biological daughter."
Lu Jinghuai also withdrew his gaze and said "hmm", then said: "I think so too."
"Then..." Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Jinghuai: "What are you going to do?"
"Find a way to visit the Xu family tomorrow."
Lu Jinghuai said lightly, but Lin Yan blinked.
"If we don't go there tomorrow, I'm afraid we'll be crazy. If we can't bring the person back, we might end up staying here too."
Lu Jinghuai also knew that Lin Yan probably misunderstood, so he started to explain again.
"I'm not bringing Qianqian back directly. I'm just trying to confirm what's going on and whether that girl is actually Qianqian. Even if it's really Qianqian, I need to contact her and plan ahead before I can take Qianqian away."
Lu Jinghuai felt relieved by his words. He nodded and was about to end this late-night conversation when he heard Lu Jinghuai continue to speak.
"You will go with me tomorrow. If necessary, you can contact the Xu family's daughter and confirm whether she is Qianqian."
Lu Jinghuai paused and continued, "It's not convenient for me."
It is inappropriate for a male guest to contact someone else's daughter for no apparent reason.
Lin Yan blinked her eyes to make sure she had heard correctly, and wrinkled her nose.
"I'm going to contact her? That's not appropriate. I don't even know your sister, what she looks like, or what her personality is like..."
Lu Jinghuai glanced at her and said, "You are the only one who is suitable. Haven't you seen her childhood photos?"
Lin Yan paused, unable to refute this statement. She had indeed seen the family photo on the desk in Lu Jinghuai's study.
but…
"I'm not the most suitable one, am I? Don't we still have Song Jingya?"
[Your white moonlight, have you forgotten? Your white moonlight grew up with you all. Among all these people, besides you, you, your white moonlight, know your sister best, right?]
[No, why is this plot so weird? Shouldn't the original plot be about Bai Yueguang and Lu Yingqian coming into contact?]
[Bai Yueguang and Lu Yingqian became besties in the end, so why do you keep asking me to steal Bai Yueguang's scenes? Please, let me go.]
After a series of complaints, Lu Jinghuai felt a little headache. He rubbed his forehead and thought for a while before starting to explain.
"Song Jingya is not suitable."
[If Song Jingya is not suitable, then am I suitable? ]
Lu Jinghuai's eyes flickered. Lin Yan was indeed not suitable. He had not yet figured out the secret of Lin Yan, nor did he know who Lin Yan belonged to, let alone what the 50 million that Lin Yan often mentioned meant.
But he has a golden finger on Lin Yan, and Lin Yan makes him feel more at ease than Song Jingya.
Lu Jinghuai finally spoke up: "Before Qianqian disappeared, she went to look for Song Jingya. Song Jingya was at home, but she told me that she wasn't home that year and didn't see Qianqian."
