Chapter 022 Chapter 22
Chapter 22 (Exclusively Authorized by Jinjiang)
It was easy to guess that Xie Liuzheng could also hear Shen Baili's thoughts.
First of all, Xie Zhiyu himself could hear Shen Baili's inner voice. After experiencing such an unscientific event, his ability to accept things was terrifyingly strong.
Secondly, Xie Liuzheng's behavior before and after and his vagueness about the source of the news that Duan Xing had cheated on his wife.
His aunt was a very simple person, and just as easy to understand as Xie Tingsi. Her shock and astonishment when she heard Shen Baili's inner thoughts at the dinner table were too obvious.
Third, Xie Liuzheng went to the hospital to have his ears and brain nerves checked, a process Xie Zhiyu was very familiar with.
Combining these three points, the answer is obvious.
Xie Zhiyu said directly, with a determined look: "Aunt, can you also hear the voice in her heart?"
Xie Liuzheng's face was full of disbelief: "Can you also hear Shen Baili's thoughts?"
She's not the only one with problems.
Shen Baili.
Xie Zhiyu didn't say the name just now, but Xie Liuzheng did.
"Yeah, I can hear what she's thinking," Xie Zhiyu admitted.
Likewise, he could draw inferences from one example: "Aunt, you got the news about my uncle's cheating from Suishun's heart, right?"
Xie Liuzheng was completely confused, his mind went blank: "How...how did you know?"
With just a few words, all of Xie Liuzheng's hidden secrets were exposed.
Of course, the reason why she was exposed so quickly and thoroughly was also because she was defenseless in front of Xie Zhiyu.
Xie Liuzheng's charm is also her fatal flaw.
When she completely trusts someone, she will trust him/her without reservation.
Duan Xing also took advantage of this point.
"Yes, I heard the news of Duan Xing's cheating from Shen Baili's inner voice. She told me the details that only Duan Xing and I knew."
"I thought there was something wrong with my brain at the time." Xie Liuzheng rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly.
Xie Zhiyu chuckled, his stern face was like a spring breeze, making people relax for some reason: "There is nothing wrong with our brains."
"Shen Baili, she is special."
"Maybe it's a supernatural ability?" Xie Zhiyu guessed.
He stood up and sat on the sofa: "Aunt, do you want to talk more?"
Xie Liuzheng: "Of course."
"So... did you know that Sang Ya and Mr. Gu's illegitimate son were secretly in love? Did you also hear what was going on?"
She quickly remembered.
"Yes, thanks to Sui Sui." Xie Zhiyu did not hesitate and gave a brief account of what had happened.
"For now, only the two of us know about this. Don't tell anyone else," he emphasized.
"I know." Xie Liuzheng knew the seriousness of the matter. She hesitated and asked, "Can't I even mention it to Bai Li?"
She felt that eavesdropping on the other person's thoughts was not a good thing.
Xie Zhiyu: "I tried to talk to Sui Sui about this, but once I brought up this topic with her, an unknown force would stop me from telling the truth."
After experiencing the reconstruction of his values after hearing his inner voice, he tried to communicate with Shen Baili.
As the other party involved in the unnatural event, Shen Baili has the right to know the truth.
"Aunt, you can try to communicate with her, maybe you will get a different result." Xie Zhiyu encouraged.
Xie Liuzheng was shocked, the world became magical.
"Can't you tell me?"
But this did not change her mind, she said firmly: "I will give it a try."
"I can't always hear Bai Li's inner voice." Xie Liuzheng recalled what happened in the mall.
Xie Zhiyu: "Neither can I. There are certain conditions required to hear the voice of one's heart."
"I don't know what the triggering conditions are, nor do I know why she knows these secrets, but it is undeniable that we are the beneficiaries."
Everyone has secrets, but Hsieh is not the type to dig into other people's secrets: "I respect her secrets and will protect her safety."
Shen Baili, who may have the ability to predict the future, would have disastrous consequences if she were targeted.
Xie Liuzheng looked at the extremely serious Xie Zhiyu in a daze. She understood the seriousness of the matter.
"I will keep this secret and won't tell anyone." She paused, "Including Duan Xing."
…
"Tell me about the voices you heard." Xie Zhiyu mentioned another important point.
After the two sides start talking, they can exchange more information.
Xie Liuzheng was a little embarrassed: "She said that Duan Xing has an illegitimate child, and through this adoption agreement, the child will be legally made mine..."
Xie Zhiyu's face darkened: "How dare he?!"
Xie Liuzheng held on to a last bit of hope in her heart, and she closed her eyes in pain.
"So... find evidence that will convince me of his betrayal."
Finding solid evidence will make me no longer have any luck or expectations.
"Okay." Xie Zhiyu said in a deep voice.

The next day, Shen Baili went to school as usual.
"Squad leader, there's a handsome guy looking for you."
Zhu Zhitao was very sensitive to this word: "What handsome guy?"
She looked around and saw the school idol at the classroom door: "It's Lu Mingqian."
"Seeing him early in the morning makes me feel refreshed." Zhu Zhitao said with his heart.
Shen Baili: "...if you apply some Fengyoujing, it will have the same effect."
"What does he want from me?"
With this doubt, she came to the door.
"Lu Mingqian, what's the matter?"
Lu Mingqian stood there quietly, tall as a pine tree, with a face like Guanyin, handsome and handsome. He gave people the feeling of orange soda in summer, refreshing and clean.
He is indeed a young man who is hailed as the candidate for the school idol of Haicheng No. 1 Middle School.
"Teacher Deng asked you to go to the office." Lu Mingqian explained, "It should be about the arrangements for the midterm exam."
"Midterm exam." Something surged through Shen Baili's heart: "Okay, thank you."
Lu Mingqian and Shen Baili walked side by side, the handsome boy and girl passed through the school corridor, the sound of Lang Lang reading came from the classroom, but the two of them were exceptionally quiet.
Even if the two of them don't do anything, just walking together is enough to attract countless people's attention.
"Wow, look outside!"
"It's the class monitor and Shen Baili. She's so pretty. She's the face of our freshman high school."
"What are they going to do?"
"Wow, they look like a perfect match together."
"The protagonists of campus novels enter reality."
The noise in the classroom did not affect Lu Mingqian and Shen Baili outside the corridor at all.
"Have you finished the Olympiad math problems?" Lu Mingqian took the initiative to ask.
"There's only half a page left. It's too difficult." Shen Baili smiled bitterly: "What about you?"
"It's very difficult. I still have one page left." Lu Mingqian paused and said, "Do you want to go to the library together this weekend?"
Shen Baili looked at him: "What?"
Lu Mingqian's eyes were bright and clear: "Let's do the math Olympiad together."
"Okay, see you at the entrance of the Provincial Library at 10am on Saturday." Shen Baili agreed, "Do you mind if I bring my friends over?"
"Don't mind, I'll be there on time."
"By the way, how are you doing with chemistry? Can you bring the chemistry problems from Saturday? I'll explain them to you," Lu Mingqian offered to help.
Shen Baili thanked him for his kindness but declined: "My brother hired a chemistry tutor for me, and it's much easier to learn now."
I have one-on-one chemistry tutoring every day, and the learning effect is very good. I don’t know where Xie Zhiyu invited this famous teacher.
"Your brother is Xie..." Lu Mingqian remembered something.
"We're here." Shen Baili didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"
Deng Qin saw her squad leader: "Bai Li, here."
Shen Baili: "The teacher called me, I went over first."
She came to Teacher Deng and said, "Teacher, are you looking for me?"
"Well, this is the midterm exam seating arrangement. Post it in the classroom so that students can check it out... Decorate the exam room the day before the exam..."
Shen Baili remembered: "Okay."
Deng Qin: "Thank you for your hard work."
Shen Baili smiled and reached out to gently touch the head of the little girl next to her.
The little girl had sparkling black eyes like big black grapes, and she had two pigtails. She sat on a stool that was taller than her, her calves swaying.
"Sister Baili, can you play with me?"
Before Shen Baili could speak, Deng Qin spoke up: "Mianmian, my sister has to go to school, you can't disturb her."
"When you come over, how about you promise Mom that you will stay in the office?"
Su Mianmian let go of a corner of Shen Baili: "Okay, Mianmian will listen to me."
"Sister Baili needs to study hard."
Shen Baili smiled and pinched the child's soft face: "Sister will play with you at noon."
She took out a lollipop from her pocket and said, "Mianmian is awesome. Sister will treat you to some candy."
Su Mianmian's voice was soft and tender, and she touched Shen Baili's palm affectionately: "Thank you, sister."
She took out a candy bar from her pocket. It was the last one. She was a little reluctant to give it away, but she still gave it to her favorite sister.
"Mianmian, please treat me to some milk candy. It's so delicious."
Shen Baili took it with a smile, her eyebrows curved like a crescent moon: "Thank you Mianmian."
Deng Qin was helpless: "It's tingling."
If she hadn't had no other choice, she wouldn't have brought her child to school.
Shen Baili: "Teacher, we all like Mianmian."
"I'm going to the classroom first."
She walked back to the classroom carrying a stack of math homework.
As soon as I walked out of the office, most of my homework was assigned to me: "Thank you, Lu Mingqian."
"You're welcome." Lu Mingqian said with a smile. When he smiled, there was a small dimple on the left side of his cheek, which alleviated his sense of alienation.
Shen Baili seemed to have discovered a new continent: "Your dimples are very beautiful."
Lu Mingqian: "Thank you, you are the second person to say that."
Shen Baili was curious: "Who was the first to say that?"
Lu Mingqian replied: "Meng Jiuan, we are childhood friends."
Shen Baili nodded.
childhood friend.
Meng family and Lu family.
The knowledge about the wealthy families that I had written down before became clear. There were three wealthy families in Haicheng, which were at the top of the pyramid.
The Xie family is the leader of the three top wealthy families. Together with the Meng family and the Lu family, they control most of the wealth and resources in Haicheng and even the entire country.
In the original novel, the decline of the Xie family was vaguely influenced by these two families.
不知不覺，兩人走回了教室。
陸鳴謙幫她把數學作業搬到了一班教室，不少同學起哄。
“陸鳴謙，你都快成我們一班的編外成員了，要不轉來一班吧，拉高我們班男生的顏值平均水平。”
“哈哈哈哈哈。”
陸鳴謙被調侃也不生氣：“那可不行，那你們二班男生的幽默值可得下降不少。”
不少人被他逗笑了，沈白梨也不例外：“謝啦。”
“不客氣。”陸鳴謙回到了二班。
沈白梨走上講臺：“安靜！”
“本學期期中考試安排出來了，這周三開始考，為期三天……”
教室內一陣鬼哭狼嚎。
二班教室。
季啓看到陸鳴謙進來，急忙拉住他：“你小子怎麽去辦公室去了這麽久，還幫沈白梨般作業。”
“你是不是喜歡咱們校花啊？”季啓擠眉弄眼。
孟九安也看了過來。
陸鳴謙：“不是，幫助同學有什麽奇怪的嗎？”
季啓點頭：“奇怪。”
別看陸鳴謙看起來很好相處，其實很少有人能走入他的內心，更何況這麽頻繁的樂于助人了。
陸鳴謙用作業本敲了敲他的頭：“你還是好好複習吧，這次你還考倒數，你的零花錢就被扣光了。”
季啓戴上了痛苦面具。
孟九安重新趴在桌子上睡覺。

這些天裏，謝家的每個人都變得異常忙碌。
有了謝流筝的補充消息，私家偵探的工作進度突飛猛進，在美容院的卧底也傳來了捷報。
謝知聿将查到的消息，交給謝流筝。
段行出軌證據确鑿，然而他所做的遠不止于此，收受賄賂、婚內轉移財産、疑似和謝氏高層交往過密……
“段行出軌的對象叫做喬雲，曾經是他藝術培訓學校的學生，跟了他很長一段時間，意外懷孕後放棄了舞蹈，專心安胎，一直被包養到現在……”
“他每個月支付給喬雲的錢，會通過美容院打出，所以平時的賬戶，顯示一切正常。”
“他們兩人的孩子叫段盛，也是你在福瑞福利院見到的小盛……”
一切證據，都證實了沈白梨心聲的準确性。
最後一絲僥幸，被手裏這份親子鑒定狠狠捏碎。
段盛今年五歲，也就是早在六年前，謝流筝積極備孕，肚皮因為打針、滿是淤青的時候，段行就已經出軌，還是出軌自己的學生。
想起在福利院和小盛開心玩耍的自己，謝流筝覺得可笑，段行也會這麽覺得吧，把她像小醜一樣逗弄。
即便早已有了心理準備，謝流筝忍不住犯惡心。
印象中那個誇獎她會臉紅的段行、那個奔跑着來見她的段行、那個為了和她結婚做了一切的段行、那個在結婚前夜緊張得睡不着的段行、那個結婚時哭得像個孩子的段行那個說着一輩子要對她好的段行、……在這一刻好像随風消散了。
謝流筝坐在沙發上，雙腿發軟，心髒像是被一雙大手狠狠撕開，鮮血淋漓。
越想越惡心，她趴在垃圾桶那裏幹嘔，卻什麽也吐不出來。
曾經美好的婚姻在這一刻揭開了殘忍的一面，像是被蟲卵爬滿的玫瑰，內裏早已腐爛，散發着惡臭，表面卻維持着光鮮亮麗的樣子。
謝流筝一直在幹嘔，嘔到喉嚨裏滿滿的血腥味，都無法停止。
謝知聿擔心地看着她：“姑姑，你還好嗎？”
“要不要休息一會兒？”
他蹲在她的身邊，輕輕拍着她的脊背。
謝流筝平複心情，她擦拭完眼角的淚，堅持道：“你繼續說，我承受得住。”
她要徹底扒開最後的遮羞布，她要看看段行到底會爛成什麽模樣。
謝知聿看着手中的資料，有些不忍心。
他對段行的憎惡突破頂點。
“在和你結婚的十年裏，段行通過購買字畫和陶瓷轉移財産近八千萬……”
轉移財産是近幾年的行為，段行逐漸取得謝家信任後，貪欲、胃口、膽子都變得大了起來。
段行不愛謝流筝了，卻也舍不得謝家的巨大財富。
當初為了求娶謝流筝，段行簽了婚前協議，如果雙方離婚，他分不到謝流筝的任何財産，并且要淨身出戶。
這些年來，背靠謝家，憑借着謝流筝天才鋼琴家的名聲，段行的藝術培訓學校辦得風生水起，名利雙收，還有不少灰色收入。
段行心知肚明，失去了謝家和謝流筝，他無法像現在這樣風光。
或許他還愛着謝流筝，但是名利場讓他迷失，被誘惑着打開了潘多拉的魔盒。
根據調查結果，謝知聿估摸着段行名下財産至少超過兩億，大部分存入國外銀行私人賬戶裏，少部分分散存入段行父母名下。
即便離婚，這些財産不算在段行的資産裏，他早就計算好了一切。
謝知聿還查出一條暗線，段行和顧烨梁有聯系，兩個八竿子打不到一起的人，會因為什麽聚在一起呢？
答案顯而易見。
暗地裏，無數雙眼睛盯着他們謝家啊。
謝流筝翻開這些文件，一張又一張，從段行出軌的照片到他轉移財産的确鑿證據，她看得很慢，像是要刻印在自己的心髒裏，戳得心髒滿是傷口。
她仿佛自虐一般，反複在胸口插上刀子，撕裂傷口。
謝知聿蹲下來，遞給她紙盒：“姑姑。”
“我……”
謝流筝啞着聲音：“知聿，讓我一個人安靜會兒。”
“好。”
謝知聿離開前，将室內溫度調高了，輕輕關上了書房門。
……
謝流筝沒有哭，她在書房呆了一個多小時。
她出來後，找到謝知聿，聲音冷到發寒。
“知聿，我會讓段行付出代價。”
“你幫幫我。”
謝知聿抱住謝流筝：“當然。”
沈白梨恰好從樓梯口走上來，看到情緒不太對的兩人，想要悄悄地離開。
奈何，謝承越剛好也走了上來：“歲歲，怎麽了？”
沈*進退兩難*白梨：“我想起來有東西忘在客廳了，正要去拿呢。”
“去吧。”
沈白梨沒勇氣往後看，着急跑下了樓，一會兒就不見了身影。
謝承越走上了樓，看到杵在走廊跟個門神似的兒子和妹妹：“……”
謝流筝鼓起勇氣，看向謝承越：“大哥，我有話想對你說。”
謝承越面色肅穆起來，走進了書房：“你跟我來。”
……
夜晚。
沈婉洗漱完，第一個發現了謝承越的不對勁：“怎麽了？誰惹你生氣了？”
謝承越放下手裏的書：“你怎麽知道我生氣了？”
他拍了拍身側的位置：“婉婉，和我聊聊天吧。”
沈婉坐在他的身邊，給兩人蓋上了薄薄一層的夏涼被。
“想聊什麽？”
謝承越：“我在想人心真是個奇怪的東西。”
“人都是會變的。”
即便人生過了大半載，面對親近的人的背叛，仍然覺得心寒。
他們謝家從來沒有薄待過段行，到頭來變成了面目模糊。
深夜總是讓人感傷，可能是知心人在身側，謝承越突然生氣傾訴的欲望。
沈婉輕輕說道：“人都是會變的，我們無法改變。”
她學會這個道理的時候，撞得面目全非，幸好……幸好有歲歲在身邊。
謝承越：“是啊，人都是會變的。”
“什麽事情讓你這麽難受？”沈婉拍了拍肩膀：“我的肩膀可以暫時借給你依靠。”
本以為謝承越會猶豫，沒想到他真的靠在了她的肩膀上：“嗯，很踏實。”
沈婉有些驚訝：“那當然，我的肩膀可是扛起過一個家。”
她十分驕傲。
謝承越真心道：“難怪這麽踏實。”
“你真厲害。”
昏暗的燈光下，沈婉好像看到了謝承越脆弱的一面：“你也很厲害。”
“不僅扛起了謝家，還扛起了無數人的家。”
沈婉的手揉了揉他的肩膀：“适當的時候，放松一下肩膀，才不會受傷。”
她不知道發生了什麽，但敏銳地察覺到謝承越的情緒，她不懂公司策略、管理等等，但她會安慰。
謝承越坐了起來，輕輕捏了捏他的肩膀：“給你的肩膀也松松。”
沈婉笑着說道：“那多謝了，我肩膀輕松了不少。”
謝承越嘴角微微往上揚，眼裏帶着幾分笑意：“按摩力道怎麽樣？”
沈婉：“很舒服，謝董手藝好。”
兩人聊了會兒天，謝承越摒棄了短暫的傷感：“過些天小筝會回家，你幫我多開導開導她。”
謝家不會放過段行。
“小姑子怎麽了？”
謝承越沒有避諱，将事情告訴了她：“這件事保密，你知道就行，不要跟任何人說。”
“歲歲也不行。”他解釋道：“小孩子容易被有心人套出話。”
“等到一切塵埃落定，你再告訴她。”
沈婉點頭應好。
****
在段行跳進謝知聿親手為他挖好的陷阱後。
謝流筝帶着律師，見到了憔悴不堪的段行。
這是段行和謝流筝結婚後，第一次這麽狼狽。
這樣狼狽的日子，在以後的生活會出現無數次，此時的段行不明白這個道理。
