"What about Xiao Sun, the yard keeper? I just parked my car at the door and honked the horn several times, but no one came to open it. Did he ask for leave too?"
Hearing Yue Feiying's unfriendly tone, Butler Wang looked embarrassed and could only bite the bullet and answer:
"Yes, Miss, Xiao Sun has also asked for leave. It's a coincidence that things have all come together."
Yue Feiying didn't say anything for a moment.
If I really continue to ask, there's also Driver Chen who drives the car, and Sister Zhang who cleans the place... Could it be that everyone had something happen at the same time?!
With Qi Shengzhi present at the moment, she could only hold back from exposing their clumsy lies.
She remembered a conversation she had heard between Butler Wang and Yue Jialiang before she got married. The two of them had discussed that after she got married, they would fire all the servants in the house to save money.
She didn't take it too seriously at the time, thinking it wouldn't be that tragic.
I didn't expect that after such a short time since she got married, only the housekeeper Wang and his wife and her father were left at home...
Yue Feiying felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She had never felt so clearly before how serious the Yue family's situation was. She felt as if she had abandoned several lonely elderly people and was going to live a good life on her own.
Qi Shengzhi noticed that her expression was not right and he frowned unconsciously. Then he thought of something and suddenly said:
"Dad, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. Feiying is also tired after a day. We will go back today and come to see you another day."
Although Yue Jialiang was reluctant to leave his daughter, seeing Yue Feiying's ugly face, he nodded quickly:
"Go back and rest quickly! Don't worry about me. Come home for dinner when you have time. I'll let..."
He got stuck at this point, obviously he hadn't yet adapted to the fact that the family had dismissed the cook, and he didn't know how to continue.
Just as things were getting awkward, Yue Feiying took over and said:
"Come to think of it, I haven't tried Aunt Wang's cooking yet. It would be great if I could try some of Aunt Wang's dishes next time I come back."
Steward Wang quickly responded:
"No problem, Miss. Next time you come back, let me know in advance and I'll ask my wife to prepare a large table of food for you and your uncle."
Aunt Wang also nodded repeatedly.
Yue Feiying smiled at them:
"Then it's settled, Dad. We're leaving first!"
Yue Jialiang wanted to send the person out, but when he reached the door, he was stopped by Yue Feiying, who still spoke in the same disdainful tone as before:
"Don't bother seeing me off. You'll get cold if you go out wearing so little. Uncle Wang and the others will have to take care of you."
"Okay, Dad will listen to you!"
Yue Jialiang's eyes were red with reluctance to leave. His good daughter had become more sensible after getting married and knew how to care about him.
Seeing that he started to pout again, Yue Feiying immediately frowned and pulled Qi Shengzhi out quickly, fearing that if she walked a step slower, Yue Jialiang would start crying and she would have to spend time comforting him again.
The streets are especially quiet at night.
After leaving Yue's house, Yue Feiying, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was very quiet.
Qi Shengzhi secretly turned his head several times. The light was dim and he couldn't see the expression on her face. He only saw that her eyes were bright and seemed to be rippling with water.
He wanted to say something several times to break the oppressive silence in the car, but was blocked by the cold expression on her face, which made him feel inexplicably irritated.
After returning home, Yue Feiying went straight upstairs without saying a word.
Qi Shengzhi, who walked in last, stood in the living room and looked at her back, his brows unconsciously frowned.
Suddenly Yue Feiying stopped, turned around and said to him:
"By the way, you promised to help me find Jing Que. When will there be any results?"
Seeing that she finally spoke, Qi Shengzhi felt relieved unexpectedly, and immediately responded:
"I'll call Xuefeng tonight. He has family members in the military region, and he was previously in charge of the northern business. He also has connections in Henan Province. I should have results within a day or two."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a little annoyed that he reacted too quickly - she was the one asking him for help, why was he so anxious?
It seemed like he was deliberately coaxing her!
Yue Feiying nodded and thanked him seriously, which was rare for her:
"Thank you. If you can contact her, please ask her to call me at home. I should be home after 8pm."
Her polite tone made Qi Shengzhi feel unfamiliar. There seemed to be an unconcealable tiredness and a hint of sadness in her polite tone, which made him frown even more than her usual energetic and arrogant tone.
"Okay, I understand. Go and rest."
For some reason, Qi Shengzhi suddenly felt a little depressed when he saw Yue Feiying's listless look.
He thought unhappily that being with this woman always made him feel uncomfortable here and there, and nothing was right.
He felt that the two of them were definitely not compatible!
I don't know how Old Man Qi and the Yue family matched their horoscopes, why did they choose Yue Feiying?!
When her back disappeared at the stairs, Qi Shengzhi finally withdrew his gaze, picked up the phone with a sullen face and dialed:
"Hey, Xuefeng, help me find someone..."
“…”
"Okay, I'll ask my uncle about the situation tomorrow morning. If I really go to Henan Province, there will be people who can help me."
After listening to Qi Shengzhi's explanation of the situation, Ding Xuefeng agreed without hesitation.
Seeing that Qi Shengzhi was still not hanging up the phone, he asked:
"What else?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while before Qi Shengzhi's deliberately lowered voice came:
"Can you help me check what businesses the Yue family has in the country now?"
Ding Xuefeng was shocked when he heard this:
"You want to investigate your father-in-law's family? Do you suspect something's wrong with the Yue family?"
At this time, Qi Shengzhi was a little annoyed that Ding Xuefeng was too smart. He just mentioned it, and Ding Xuefeng immediately realized his intention.
Qi Shengzhi rubbed his brows in annoyance. His own business had come to a halt, and he really didn't want to get involved in the Yue family's affairs.
But when he got married, he swore that as long as the marriage lasted, he would treat Yue Feiying as his wife and Yue Feiying's family as his own family, and fulfill the responsibilities and obligations he should bear.
He didn't want to spend the next six months watching the listless Yue Feiying every day, nor did he want to watch his father-in-law Qi Shengzhi live a miserable life.
If possible, he would help. After all, the connections he had accumulated over the years from all over the country could not be wasted.
"You check first, and then we can discuss it."
Qi Shengzhi hung up the phone without saying anything, leaving Ding Xuefeng confused.
Ding Xuefeng's uncle was the head of the communications department of the 718th Army Headquarters. It should be easy to inquire about the news of a military family member, and it did not violate military discipline, so Ding Xuefeng agreed to find the person without hesitation.
But after hanging up the phone, he recalled what Qi Shengzhi said, and suddenly felt that the name of this military family member sounded a little familiar.
Shao startled the magpie... startled the magpie...
He seemed to have heard this name somewhere.
