Although Han Xian's words sounded nonsensical.
But afterwards Jiang Jingchu still thought about it seriously.
Only the old lady in the Jiang family knew about his relationship with Qin Huan.
The old lady always loved him and didn't have that strong a sense of class. When she knew he had a girlfriend, she mentioned it several times, asking him to bring Qin Huan back to see her.
So, it couldn't be that she did something in between.
But, just in case, he turned the steering wheel and returned to the old house.
…
After Jiang Jingchu left, Han Xian didn't stay in Shangye for long and went straight home.
Zhou Tiantian is still following that melodramatic drama.
Han Xian thought about what Jiang Jingchu had entrusted him with, and sat down next to Zhou Tiantian, put his arms around her neck and kissed her.
"Wife, why aren't you sleeping yet? Are you waiting for me?"
Zhou Tiantian smelled the alcohol on Han Xian's face and pushed him away in disgust.
"Who's waiting for you? You went out to drink again. You smell terrible. Go take a shower."
Han Xian sighed and held Zhou Tiantian tightly.
"Brother Jing was in a bad mood and insisted on asking me to drink with him."
Zhou Tiantian glanced at Han Xian and asked casually,
"What happened to Brother Jing?"
"Who knows? He won't tell me when I ask him. I guess it's because of Qin Huan again."
Zhou Tiantian made a "tsk" sound.
"It's his fault! Who told him to marry Ji Jingya while being entangled with Huan'er at the same time?"
Han Xian looked at Zhou Tiantian who was extremely angry, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Jiang Jingchu.
"How good was Qin Huan back then? She was still with Brother Jing while having sex with that bastard named Wen!"
Zhou Tiantian was so angry that she slapped him.
"You're talking nonsense! What do you know? You're just talking nonsense!"
Han Xian hissed.
"Hey, just say it, don't do it!"
Zhou Tiantian couldn't bear to hear others wrongly accusing Qin Huan, but she couldn't explain herself, so she pulled his arm and bit it hard.
"Not only will I use my hands, I'll also use my mouth. Anyway, Huan'er is not the kind of person you imagine. I don't want to hear you say bad things about her in front of me anymore!"
"Tsk! You're a puppy!"
Han Xian rubbed the place where Zhou Tiantian bit him.
"It's so cruel, it even broke my skin!"
Zhou Tiantian thought it was not necessary, as she had clearly controlled her strength just now, and hurriedly pulled his arm over.
"Let me see!"
Looking closely, there was nothing there except a few shallow teeth marks. It pounced towards Han Xian with its fangs and claws bared.
"Han Xian, how dare you lie to me!"
Han Xian was teasing her on purpose, so he took Zhou Tiantian in his arms and rolled onto the sofa.
There was tickling and "close combat" and it was noisy for a while before it finally quieted down.
They each lay on the sofa, gasping for breath.
"Hey, what do you think? Is there still hope for Brother Jing and Qin Huan?"
Zhou Tiantian rolled her eyes.
"What drama is there? Brother Jing is about to get married."
Han Xian said "tsk".
"So, according to you, if Brother Jing doesn't marry Ji Jingya, then he and Qin Huan will have a chance?"
Zhou Tiantian thought about it and shook her head.
“No.”
"Why? I just don't understand. What is it about Brother Jing that she despises?"
"It's not that she looks down on Brother Jing, it's..."
Zhou Tiantian paused here and turned her head to look at Han Xian.
"Mr. Han, are you trying to trick me?"
Han Xian rubbed Zhou Tiantian's bun.
"Who's trying to trick you? We're just chatting about this. What were you trying to say? It's not that Qin Huan looks down on Brother Jing, but that she can't be with Brother Jing?"
Zhou Tiantian glared with her almond-shaped eyes.
"How do you know?"
Han Xian made a "tsk" sound.
"That's what you said last time at the bar."
Zhou Tiantian said "Oh", and she let it slip because she spoke too quickly.
"Then can I ask the reason? Since she still has Brother Jing in her heart, why can't she be with him?"
Han Xian said this, casually pointing to the melodramatic TV series playing on the tablet.
"As far as I know, there's no such evil mother-in-law among them who would give people money to get rid of them."
Zhou Tiantian curled her lips, thinking of the grievances Qin Huan had suffered.
"How do you know there isn't one? Maybe someone has even more clever tricks than this evil mother-in-law."
…
When Jiang Jingchu returned to the old house, the old lady and the old man were already asleep.
He felt that he was really out of his mind. He actually forgot to check the time and rushed back without any thought.
There is no choice but to spend the night in the old house.
In the middle of the night, I couldn't help but send a message to Qin Huan.
"Is your cold feeling better?"
After waiting for a long time, Qin Huan didn't reply, but I received a message from Han Xian.
"Brother Jing, why don't you think about it carefully? Besides the old lady, was there anyone else in the Jiang family who knew about your relationship with Qin Huan and was very disapproving of it?"
After Jiang Jingchu finished reading the message, the darkness in his eyes darkened even more.
"What did Zhou Tiantian say to you?"
Han Xian thought about it carefully and didn't seem to say anything special, but he was afraid that he had missed something, so he repeated his conversation with Zhou Tiantian to Jiang Jingchu word for word.
"Anyway, brother, I really tried my best. Zhou Tiantian was really tight-lipped, and I had a hard time prying open this little bit."
Jiang Jingchu lit a cigarette.
"I understand. Go to bed early."
With a cigarette in his mouth, Jiang Jingchu stood on the balcony enjoying the cool breeze for half the night. When it was dawn, he went into the house and took a nap.
The old lady always ate on time. When it was time for breakfast, Jiang Jingchu had already washed up and was waiting in the restaurant.
"Xiaochu, when did you come over last night? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Jiang Jingchu stood up and helped the old lady sit on the dining chair.
"I came back at the last minute. It was too late, so I didn't call you."
The old lady said "Oh".
"What's up?"
Jiang Jingchu smiled,
"I missed you. Do I have to come back for something?"
The old man happened to enter the restaurant and sneered when he heard Jiang Jingchu's words.
"Ever since you joined the Jiang Corporation, I can count on one hand the number of times you've stayed overnight at the old house. No wonder your grandma asked."
Jiang Jingchu raised his eyebrows in a sly manner.
"I'm not worried about annoying you if I come back, so I try to come back less often."
Upon hearing this, the old lady pretended to glare at Jiang Jingchu.
"You are such a talkative kid. Your grandfather always talks about you a lot, so how could he possibly be bothered by you?"
Jiang Jingchu took the initiative to serve a bowl of porridge to each of the two elderly people and joked with a smile.
"You keep nagging me, and now you're back to scold me?"
The old man snorted.
"If you do things more reliably, no one will want to scold you."
After drinking some porridge,
"How's things going at the company lately?"
Jiang Jingchu knew that the old man was bored at home, so he picked out a few important things and told them to him one by one.
The breakfast went uneventfully.
Before going to the company, the old lady said she wanted to see Jiang Jingchu off.
Halfway through the walk, the old lady stopped.
"Go ahead."
Jiang Jingchu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and his eyebrows curved downwards.
"It seems that nothing can be hidden from you, grandma."
The old lady snorted softly.
"How could I not understand this child, a child I personally raised? No one comes to see me for no reason."
Jiang Jingchu raised his lips, but there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
"Grandma, do you still remember Qin Huan?"
"Qin Huan?"
When the old lady heard the name, her cheeks immediately wrinkled.
"How could you not remember? Five years ago, you almost lost half your life for her!"
Jiang Jingchu smiled indifferently.
"You're exaggerating."
"I just want to ask you, I only told you about what happened with her. You didn't tell anyone else, right?"
"Who can I tell? Didn't you tell me to keep it a secret for now? Up to now, I haven't even revealed a single word to your grandfather!"
Jiang Jingchu did not miss any expression on the old lady's face when she spoke, and judging from her appearance, she did not seem to be lying.
The old lady reacted after she finished speaking, and her eyebrows slightly raised.
"By the way, why did you mention her suddenly?"
Jiang Jingchu smiled.
"She returned home."
"Back home?"
The old lady's brows furrowed even deeper.
"Xiaochu, a few days ago you said you wanted to break off the engagement with Jingya. Could it be because of her?"
Jiang Jingchu lowered his eyes, staring at the cobblestone path under his feet.
"Yes and no."
Qin Huan's return only brought forward the time for him to cancel the engagement.
The old lady looked at Jiang Jingchu's expression, and her heart sank. She was afraid that he would repeat the same mistakes as before, so she said earnestly,
"You kid, how can you be so stupid? She treated you so well back then, why are you still thinking about her?"
Jiang Jingchu felt a pain in his chest.
"Grandma, I've been thinking a lot lately. I don't think Qin Huan is that kind of person. Perhaps there's something else going on. As for what happened today, just pretend I never asked about it. Don't mention it in front of Grandpa."
Jiang Jingchu returned empty-handed and felt even worse than when he came. On the way, he called Gao Fei.
"Last time, regarding the money from Qin Huan's mother, let's expand the scope a little bit and continue investigating."
