Chapter 365: The Lost Past
Xiang Nuan arranged a compact and rich itinerary for Elena. On the first day, they went to the museum to experience various traditional patterns and culture; on the second day, they flew to Hangzhou to attend a fashion exhibition of a domestic clothing company; on the third day, they chatted with Mina's friends in the art circle, which was full of useful information from ancient times to the present, from China to the West.
She even planned a flight from Hangzhou to Guiyang. If there was enough time, she also wanted to take care of Ranran's needs and introduce the Buni family's ethnic costumes and handicrafts to Elena.
Jiang Yunhui took a deep breath when he saw the schedule. Is this a three-day and four-night special forces study tour? Not to mention the physical challenges, the mental load alone is unimaginable.
"You are just cramming your recommendations." He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He could even imagine what kind of tiger mom education Jiang Ranran would face when she went to elementary school in the future.
"Really? Just a quick tour." Xiang Nuan even felt that it was not enough. It was totally irrelevant.
"Can't the demand be met even at home? Do we have to fly to Hangzhou or Guiyang?"
"Of course, local conditions and customs are part of the culture. Only by truly entering and integrating into it can you understand why such works are produced."
Jiang Yunhui raised his hands: "You are the expert, everything is up to you."
Elena was very satisfied with the itinerary. She was really worthy of her reputation as a workaholic and she couldn't wait to set off.
"Let Uncle Huo follow you today. I will fly to Hangzhou with you." Jiang Yunhui said.
"No one needs it."
"No!" Jiang Yunhui's tone suddenly deepened, and his face became serious in an instant. Xiang Nuan knew that he was still worried about the kidnapping. In his heart, he would never forget that it was he who let Xiang Nuan and Ran Ran go home alone that night.
"I got it. I'll listen to you." Xiang Nuan pouted, and he became gentle again.
Watching them leave like a tour group, Jiang Yunhui returned to his study.
He has his own work to do. Although the program is on track, the weekly content needs to be updated and arranged in time. But he can't calm down now, and he always thinks about Xiang Nuan's every little detail in his mind.
He opened the drawer and his eyes fell on the small box. He did not open it, as if a solemn promise was sealed in it.
He suddenly remembered something, bent down and crawled under the desk, and a secret compartment at the bottom of the table quietly opened. He smiled triumphantly. Xiang Nuan and Ran Ran had searched this house several times, and they would never have thought that there was a hidden mechanism under the table, and her contract was hidden in it.
Not only the contract, but all the investigation data about her is there.
Originally he had just locked it in a drawer. If she hadn't been naughty and repeatedly wanted to modify the contract, he wouldn't have put so much effort into it like burying a treasure map.
He couldn't help laughing when he thought of all the little tricks she had used to get the contract. This guy was always so cute without even realizing it.
Huh? There's really no additional information at all.
Jiang Yunhui looked over and over again in disbelief. There was no family, no friends, not even an emergency contact left. Did she just appear out of thin air? !
impossible!
He went back under the table and checked again, but there was nothing in the secret compartment. This was the only document he had, and there would be no other version.
He was very cautious at first, and he checked every candidate again and again, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he checked three generations and nine clans. He would not let a person with unknown background in just because she had simple social connections.
Could it be that Uncle Huo put it away?
Jiang Yunhui felt a little flustered. He put the contract back to its original place, made himself a cup of tea, and began to recall every detail of the past.
At first, Uncle Huo posted the advertisement in the name of recruiting tutors and childcare workers. After screening the candidates, he finally left three for him to decide. He remembered that all three of them were very good, especially Xiang Nuan, who was quiet and gentle and grew up abroad.
"I don't have any relatives or friends in the country, so I won't be in any trouble."
That's what she said at the time. Could it be that because of this sentence, he was careless and didn't do any further investigation? At that time, Ranran's show was just around the corner, but the tight time was definitely not an excuse for him to be careless.
Jiang Yunhui, ah Jiang Yunhui, are you doubting Xiang Nuan?
He patted his cheeks to sober himself up.
Maybe she also had her own unspeakable difficulties, and she deliberately concealed it at the beginning. Facts have proved that she is not a bad person, nor does she have any ill intentions or ulterior motives. On the contrary, she is the most innocent and kind person in the world. Especially the way she treats Ran Ran, it is not an exaggeration to say that she loves him with her own life.
But Jiang Yunhui still felt something was wrong. Even if he was careless, Uncle Huo would never make a mistake. And he recalled the completely different feelings when he first met Xiang Nuan and when he saw her again when signing the contract. She was such a calm and detached person during the interview...
Suddenly, a strange thought sprouted in his mind, a vixen piercing his soul... He almost punched himself. If such a fantasy thing could really happen, shouldn't she be very charming?
He couldn't let his imagination run wild any longer. He called Uncle Huo.
"Are you with them?"
"I'm in the car, alone." Uncle Huo thought he wanted to talk about Chen Weiming, so he was naturally very alert.
"Do you remember leaving a record when you were investigating Xiang Nuan's background?"
"What?" Uncle Huo didn't follow his train of thought.
"I'll tell you in detail when I get back. Just tell me if you remember whether you have a page specifically for it."
"Yes. Put it together with the contract." Uncle Huo said firmly.
"No, only the contract."
Uncle Huo seemed confused and didn't speak for a long while. How could it be gone? He had clearly given it to Jiang Yunhui to keep.
"Do you still have any clues?" Jiang Yunhui asked.
"Just that one."
Jiang Yunhui stopped asking and just said he would talk to her when he got back before hanging up the phone.
Xiang Nuan had searched the whole house for the contract, so maybe she found it and took it away. But that wasn't right, she just wanted to modify the contract, so how come the contract was intact, but only her information was missing?
Is it Jiang Ranran? Nothing can be hidden from this little guy. He already knew where Wanqing's relics were. There were no secrets in this house for him. But what did he want this for? Hide it? Did he think that if he hid it, Xiang Nuan would stay forever?
Maybe it was lost or destroyed because of a mistake in the chaos. Does it depend on other contacts to prove who a person is and what kind of person he is?
Jiang Yunhui reassured himself again and again, but Uncle Huo's unintentional words kept coming back to his mind.
"My wife rarely gets so close to others... She has no relatives or friends in the country..."
She has never answered or made phone calls to relatives or friends.
The more Jiang Yunhui thought about it, the more he felt that he was crazy. He walked to the yard and let the fresh air cleanse his turbid brain. After a moment, he made a decision. No matter what it was, he firmly and definitely believed in her.
