Chen Jiayi didn't know whether the news in the newspaper was true or false.
Chen Jiayi shared the same idea as Lan Meixuan.
How could Zhao Lianwei, such a weak woman, kill Chen Xiaowei?
Not to mention Lan Meixuan didn't believe it, Chen Jiayi was also not very convinced.
But the truth is actually none of her business.
Chen Jiayi didn't take it to heart.
However, in the afternoon, Chen Jiayi received a call from the Lianhua Town Police Station.
"Hello, is this Ms. Chen Jiayi? This is Zhao Dezhu from Lianhua Town Police Station."
Chen Jiayi recalled that it seemed to be this Comrade Zhao who helped her arrest Ding Haowen.
"Yes, this is you. How can I help you?"
"Here's the thing, your adoptive mother, Zhao Lianwei, is suspected of murder. She says she wants to see you, otherwise she won't tell the truth. We'd like to ask you if you can cooperate with our work?"
Chen Jiayi hesitated for a moment, "When?"
"It would be best if you could come today."
"It's like this, Comrade Zhao, you should also know about the recent incident of college entrance exam scores being switched. I am the victim, and it's currently under investigation. I might not be able to return to Lianhua Town during this time..."
Zhao Dezhu fell silent. After a long while, Chen Jiayi finally heard Zhao Dezhu speak.
"Although it's not good to bother you at this time, you may not know how tragically your adoptive father died. The authorities are taking this case very seriously right now, and you only need to spare half a day."
Chen Jiayi hesitated for a moment, then thought about it and agreed.
"Okay, then I'll go back to Lianhua Town this afternoon."
"Okay, I'll contact you again later!"
After Chen Jiayi hung up the phone, Aunt Wang came out with fruit.
"Miss, these are some fresh fruits that arrived today. Would you like to try some?"
Chen Jiayi picked up a grape and put it in her mouth. She took a bite without warning, and the grape was so sour that it made her teeth fall out.
Chen Jiayi felt like her teeth were going to fall out from the sourness!
Her face immediately contorted.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Wang burst into laughter.
"Miss, I haven't tried these grapes yet. Are they very sour?"
Chen Jiayi frowned and nodded. Hearing the door open, she saw that the person who returned was Lan Meixuan.
Aunt Wang and Chen Jiayi exchanged a glance, and then tacitly composed themselves.
Seeing the two chatting and laughing, Lan Meixuan asked curiously, "What are you two doing?"
Chen Jiayi smiled. "Mom, Aunt Wang and I are eating grapes. These grapes are quite delicious, would you like to try some?"
Lan Meixuan nodded and opened her mouth to receive the grapes Chen Jiayi fed her. However, when the grapes entered her mouth, the sourness was truly... so sour that Lan Meixuan was speechless.
Chen Jiayi quickly spat out the grapes from her mouth and burst into laughter with Aunt Wang.
Seeing this, what else could Lan Meixuan not understand?
Lan Meixuan said irritably, "You two are really in sync."
The grapes were so sour, and you didn't even say anything. You still fed them to her, making her suffer as well.
"Oh, right, the police station in Lianhua Town just called me. They said Zhao Lianwei insists on meeting me before they can discuss the crime process. I agreed to go."
Lan Meixuan thought for a moment, "When?"
"This afternoon."
A hint of regret flashed in Lan Meixuan's eyes.
"Leaving today?"
Chen Jiayi guessed what Lan Meixuan was planning to do.
"Mom, do you want to go see Dad?"
Chen Qiming's project is in its final stages of construction and is not far from Lianhua Town; it takes about two or three hours to drive there.
Lan Meixuan nodded. "It's been a while since I've seen your dad."
I miss him terribly.
However, Lan Meixuan did not say those words aloud.
"If we leave right now, we won't have enough time. So we won't go to your dad's!"
Chen Jiayi blinked. "Actually, there's still time. You just need to pick me up and take me home before dark."
Lan Meixuan thought for a moment, "No need, Mom will stay with you."
Chen Jiayi glanced at Aunt Wang and suddenly thought of a way to satisfy both sides.
"Mom, you can have Ah Long take you to Dad's place to see him. Aunt Wang can stay with me! Aunt Wang is also from Lianhua Town, she probably hasn't been home in a long time, right?"
Wang Shuting was stunned; it really had been a long time since she had been home.
In the past, when she had time off, she would take a car home to see her children.
But as her children grew up and started their own families, the house was empty when she returned home, so Wang Shuting rarely went back anymore.
When Chen Jiayi suggested taking her back with her, Wang Shuting was somewhat tempted.
In the end, the three of them decided on this plan! They packed up and set off.
Lan Meixuan was curious about what Lotus Town, where Chen Jiayi married, would be like.
She thought about it and decided that she could stay in Lianhua Town for one night and go back the next morning.
Chen Jiayi knew her mother wanted to know about the place where she used to live, and she couldn't bear to refuse her mother, especially since she hadn't seen many of her neighbors and friends for a long time.
Although Lotus Town holds both unpleasant and fond memories for her, it also holds friendly ones.
Lotus Town.
Today, the state-run restaurant in Lianhua Town has been contracted out!
I heard it's someone's birthday.
Li Yuzhu, with a rosy complexion and adorned with gold and silver jewelry, stepped out of the car gracefully.
She got out of the car first, then bent down and picked up the child from inside.
Ding Haowen wore a comfortable floral shirt. He used to love wearing white shirts, but now he looks quite stylish in floral shirts.
Li Yuzhu held the child and looked at Ding Haowen with a gentle expression.
