Chapter 205 Telling You What You Want to Know
It was noon, and the office, which should have been bright, seemed a little dim because the curtains were not drawn.
After hearing Jiang Wanning's words, Ellie, who was holding the door handle and preparing to go out, paused for a moment.
The entire office was silent for a moment. In the not-so-large space, it seemed that only the breathing of the two people could be clearly heard.
The tension seemed to reach its peak at this moment.
After a while, Ai Li turned her head stiffly and looked at Jiang Wanning: "Boss Jiang."
"Are you kidding me?"
She spoke slowly, her tone slightly sarcastic, but it sounded no different from usual.
"If I really knew where my brother was, would I need to go to great lengths and call the police to help investigate?"
“…”
Jiang Wanning did not respond to Ai Li's words immediately, but her eyes passed over the desk in front of her and finally fell on the other person's fingertips hanging by her side, trembling slightly.
Even though Ellie tried her best to hide it, her instinctive body reactions could not deceive anyone.
"It was probably around the Chinese New Year. Xie Yanchuan and I went to City S."
"I have to admit, Ellie, you acted very well. We were almost fooled by you."
If she and Xie Yanchuan had not gone to Puying Welfare Home under Hall's leadership and witnessed those scenes, perhaps she would have been kept in the dark by Ellie.
Jiang Wanning sighed softly in her heart.
Ai Li's acting talent is no less than Xia Shuying's, and she has a really beautiful face. It's a pity that she didn't enter the entertainment industry at the beginning.
Meanwhile, Jiang Wanning spoke again, and her overly confident tone made Ai Li's breathing become noticeably short.
At the same time, her trembling fingertips curled up unconsciously and pinched hard into her palms.
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
Ellie took a deep breath and said, "If you insist on using up your rest time to talk to me about these inexplicable topics, then I don't think I can keep you company..."
"Puying Welfare Home."
"Xie Yanchuan and I met those children."
However, before Ellie could finish her words, Jiang Wanning interrupted her.
Ellie, who had been acting calmly, retorted subconsciously when she heard this, "How is this possible? How could you possibly have seen...?!"
But she stopped talking halfway through.
At the same time, she suddenly realized something and looked up at Jiang Wanning.
Even if Ellie was a fool, she should have realized by now that Jiang Wanning was actually cheating on her.
There is nothing left in that welfare home.
So even if Jiang Wanning and Xie Yanchuan went there, they shouldn't be able to find anything.
Jiang Wanning did not comment on this.
That day when she and Xie Yanchuan were in S City, after hearing Hall talk about the Ai brothers and sisters, she immediately asked him to take them to the so-called welfare home.
However, when they arrived there, the welfare home had already been emptied.
Not to mention the figures inside.
Even the yellowed, age-worthy walls of the welfare home looked as if they had been cleaned by someone, leaving no useful clues behind.
Even Hall, who had brought them there, was a little surprised when he saw this: "That's strange! I haven't heard anyone mention that this orphanage was emptied out?"
"Is it because I went out to study and haven't been back for too long?"
The man murmured, and then promised them both, "Master Xie, Senior Sister Jiang, this time it's all on me. Go ahead and do whatever you need. I'll let you know as soon as I have any results from my investigation."
The clue that Jiang Wanning and Xie Yanchuan had finally found was interrupted again.
After hearing this, the two looked at each other and didn't say anything else.
Later, it happened that the Xie family's family dinner was about to take place, so the two of them simply put the matter aside and flew back to China to deal with a previous matter within the Xie family.
It wasn't until today when Jiang Wanning came back and saw Ai Li again that she seemed to suddenly have an epiphany and connected all the clues that had puzzled her before back together.
And they realized that it seemed that they had overlooked a person who played a very critical position in this matter from the very beginning.
That's Ellie!
However, all of the above are just Jiang Wanning’s guesses at the moment.
She didn't have enough confidence or evidence to prove that there was something wrong with Ellie, so the scene just now happened.
Jiang Wanning used the topic as a guide and successfully tricked Ellie into revealing her disguise.
At this moment, Jiang Wanning folded her hands again and placed them on the desk in front of her.
"Tell me about it, Ellie."
Although she was sitting and looking up at Ellie, her aura was overwhelming, making it seem difficult for the latter to breathe.
"Why did you and Ai Heng do this? And where are they now?"
Under Jiang Wanning's shadow, a hint of coldness flashed across his raised eyebrows.
There was another question that she didn't ask yet.
That is whether Ellie also knows the whereabouts of her parents.
Or in other words, how much was she involved in this whole accident?
Realizing all of the above, Jiang Wanning silently pinched her fingertips.
After all, it was really hard for her to accept.
If all these guesses of mine are true.
So how should she face Ellie, the employee or... friend with whom she has been close for nearly three months?
This was probably the first time Jiang Wanning encountered such a situation.
While she was feeling complicated, Ellie opposite her seemed to be feeling uncomfortable too.
The two of them remained in a stalemate for a long time before the latter sighed as if relieved. He reached out and gently brushed away the slightly messy hair in front of him. "Boss Jiang, I have to admit that I underestimated you a little."
"You are much more powerful than I thought."
Whether it's how he deals with people, his work ability, or this damn sharp intuition.
All of this made Ellie envious and a little disappointed: "You guessed right... In fact, I knew your true identity from the beginning."
"The daughter of the Jiang Group."
When Ellie said this, she seemed to look at Jiang Wanning for some unknown reason.
Or maybe he wasn't looking at her, but through her face, he was looking at Jiang Wenzhou, who was very similar to her.
"People like you, born into noble families, will probably never understand in your entire lives how much people like me and my brother, who rose from the bottom step by step, have paid for this."
