Chapter 416 Detailing
Jiang Zhizhi felt increasingly uneasy; Su Liting and her son Jin Kang's reactions were far too abnormal.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, drying her hair, she analyzed with Zhou Xiye: "Teacher Jin was clearly angered to death by them. They are the murderers, but they are so calm. Especially Su Liting, she took away Teacher Jin's ashes. Now, it seems like there is some conspiracy."
"After all, Ms. Jin has been in Beijing for so many years, and she has never cared about her. She took Ms. Jin's money and still chose to divorce her in the end. How could she possibly be so kind as to send Ms. Jin's ashes back to her hometown in southern Jiangsu?"
Zhou Xiye, who had been in charge of Jin Huaiying's funeral arrangements these past two days, also noticed Su Liting's unusual behavior. After hearing Jiang Zhizhi's explanation, he agreed: "Besides having you take her pulse, did Teacher Jin say anything else to you? Or entrust you with anything valuable?"
Jiang Zhizhi shook her head: "They only mentioned the life-and-death connection, nothing else."
Zhou Xiye frowned: "Su Liting's series of actions indicate that she wants to get something from Teacher Jin, but hasn't gotten it yet. Moreover, Teacher Jin didn't die suddenly; she did leave some arrangements, but she didn't say what they were."
Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed and stood up, looking at Zhou Xiye with some excitement: "I know, it must be Teacher Jin's notes. He handwrote a thick medical book, which not only contains many difficult and complicated diseases, but also many prescriptions, covering a lot of knowledge from both Chinese and Western medicine."
When Jin Huaiying asked her to study it, she didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just an ordinary notebook. It was only during the later learning process that she discovered it was a treasure trove of knowledge.
In particular, many of the viewpoints from the experiments conducted in the past two years have already been recorded in Jin Huaiying's notes.
However, Jin Huaiying was born at the wrong time, in a chaotic era, and her notebooks were not valued or promoted.
But things are different now. If it falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, any one of them can be published or made into an academic paper, and it will attract the attention of the industry.
Su Liting is also a doctor. If she gets her hands on this notebook, it will be of great help to her, and she could transform into an expert.
Jiang Zhizhi interpreted Su Liting with the utmost malice.
"So, Su Liting came back this time just to get this, because Teacher Jin didn't give it to her, and there must have been another verbal conflict that made Teacher Jin very angry."
Just as Zhou Xiye was about to speak, little Zhou kicked the door open and rushed in, giggling, "Daddy, Mommy..."
Shangshang followed behind, cheerfully calling out as she entered, "Mommy, Daddy, have some fruit!"
The two little ones hadn't spent much time with their parents these past two days. When they saw their parents come back but didn't go out, they rushed over to find their mother when Fang Hua and Zhou Chengyu weren't looking.
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and picked up Xiao Zhouji, who had rushed over first, while Zhou Xiye also picked up Shang Shang.
Fang Hua followed, laughing, "I told you to rest for a while, but these two came running over as soon as I couldn't see them. Little Zhou is very clever; he can even use diversionary tactics now."
Jiang Zhizhi felt less tired after taking a shower, and carried Xiao Zhouji out: "It's okay, I'm not sleepy after taking a shower now, and besides, I won't be able to sleep tonight if I sleep now."
Fang Hua thought about it and agreed: "Then let's go eat some brown sugar eggs to replenish our energy first."
While Sister Chen was cooking brown sugar and eggs, Fang Hua asked a few questions about Jin Huaiying's funeral. He then said with regret, "I never expected that such a good person would leave us like this."
Zhou Chengyu suddenly blurted out, "This Teacher Jin, the wife he married later was much younger than him. If she were his first wife, would she have ended up in such a miserable state?"
Fang Hua was taken aback: "I won't comment on his private life, but in terms of medical ethics, Professor Jin is very accomplished. Several of his students are quite famous in Beijing."
Zhou Chengyu agreed: "However, they are also the most indifferent. No wonder people say that scholars have always been the most heartless."
Seeing that Jiang Zhizhi didn't say anything, Fang Hua was afraid that she would be sad again, so he quickly changed the subject: "Your aunt came over this morning and said that we should have dinner at her house tonight. I was afraid that you were too tired, so I didn't agree. I said I would wait until you come back to visit."
Jiang Zhizhi glanced at the time and it was almost four o'clock: "Go ahead, when Si Min comes back, there will be something about Teacher Jin, and we haven't had dinner together yet."
Fang Hua nodded: "Okay, I'll call your aunt and tell her. It seems that guests from the Kongyuan Academy were also invited to this family dinner, mainly for Li Simin's blind date."
Jiang Zhizhi was surprised: "So fast?"
Fang Hua nodded: "Si Min will only rest for a few days. Your aunt is on high alert every day, afraid that he will run into Song Man. But she is also glad that when Si Min comes back, Song Man has moved out with the child."
Shang Shiying hasn't had a good night's sleep these past few days. She always wakes up in the middle of the night and then can't fall back asleep for night after night.
She had lost weight, even though she was originally a little chubby. She was afraid that Li Simin would insist on being with Song Man despite his family's objections.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, so she consulted Li Chengzhang about arranging blind dates for Li Simin. She refused to believe that if they searched all the good girls in the capital, they couldn't find one that would satisfy Li Simin.
Li Chengzhang said helplessly, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Marriage cannot be forced. Besides, Si Min is now a government official. Even if he wanted to marry Song Man, the organization would conduct a thorough investigation. It's not because Song Man is a second-time bride, but because she has been to the South and no one knows what her ex-husband's family is like."
"This is very complicated, even stricter than the political background check for military service."
Shang Shiying ignored her: "You make it sound so easy. If the review goes smoothly and the organization approves it, what can I do? If Si Min and Song Man are together, then I'll just die."
Li Chengzhang couldn't refuse Shang Shiying: "Alright, alright, I'll go and inquire to see if any family has a suitable girl."
That's how it happened, which led to today's family dinner.
When Jiang Zhizhi, Zhou Xiye, Fang Hua, and Zhou Chengyu arrived with their two children, the Li family already had quite a few guests.
There were also several young women, chatting politely together.
Jiang Zhizhi glanced at it and was shocked. Look how anxious Shang Shiying was. He didn't even do one-on-one blind dates. He went straight to a mass selection.
Li Simin sat in a corner with a tense expression. When he saw Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye coming over, he rushed over as if he had seen saviors and hugged Shang Shang tightly: "I have heard about Teacher Jin's matter. Please accept my condolences."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled; today's occasion wasn't suitable for discussing Teacher Jin. "Is there anything I can help with? I'll go help."
Li Simin stopped her, saying, "It's nothing. The kitchen staff have come over. Just come in and sit down."
As Jiang Zhizhi walked into the small living room, she glanced at the girls in the room. One of them was leaning against the sofa, wearing a white floral shirt with two long, dark braids hanging down her chest and thick bangs that almost covered her eyebrows.
In terms of both appearance and attire, she was far inferior to the girls next to her, yet she exuded a carefree and unrestrained air...
