Chapter 8: No moral integrity



Guan Jibai was afraid that if he said too much, his character would be ruined, so he could only endure it temporarily and take it step by step. Seeing Guan Wanwan finished packing her luggage and drank water from the enamel pot because she was thirsty, he wanted to speak up to remind her but after thinking about it, he chose to keep quiet.

There is one advantage of mom falling asleep, which is that she can let go and work hard.

The original owner had done extensive analysis of his memories and speculated that the property ownership certificate was stolen on the first night he returned to Beijing. The original owner had a deep impression that the pickled vegetables they ate that night were too salty, and after dinner, they were thirsty and drank a lot of water.

I guess the problem lies with the water.

I have to say, although the original owner was sensitive, fragile, and lacked love and a sense of security, she was indeed a very smart girl. She was good at analysis, but she kept everything to herself.

After washing his feet, Guan Jibai took the initiative to carry the basin out to pour out the water. When he passed by the door of Liang Wenjing's room, he quietly tilted his ear and heard voices coming from inside, but he couldn't hear the specific words.

However, her purpose was not to eavesdrop, but to replace the water in her enamel pot that had been added with something else.

There is an old-fashioned long table with high legs placed against the wall in the living room. It is covered with a layer of newspaper. The daily necessities such as kettle, toothbrush glass, enamel pot, mosquito coil, matchbox and radio are all placed on this long table.

At the beginning of autumn, people still prefer to drink cold boiled water. Luo Juan, knowing that she would be thirsty because she put so much salt in her cooking, poured boiled water for herself and Liang Wenjing and placed it on the table so they could drink directly when they were thirsty.

Guan Jibai saw this and changed the water in his enamel pot with familiar movements.

Although she is a star, she was in the socialite circle before her debut. She has been hanging out with a bunch of playboys since she was a child. Not everyone can be a top-notch scumbag. If you are not outstanding, men will not be so devoted to you.

You have to be an all-rounder, and you have to know how to have fun, make noise, and spend money.

Of course, you also have to be shameless.

After changing the water, Guan Jibai saw the foot washing water that had not been poured out yet and smiled knowingly.

Double the ingredients, I hope Luo Juan and Liang Wenjing will like it.

Liang Wenjing was awakened by thirst just after falling asleep. She got up and went to the living room to drink some water. As soon as she took a sip, she felt something was wrong. She drank a few more sips and tasted it carefully, and found that there seemed to be something wrong with the water quality.

It's probably because the kettle has been used for a long time and has accumulated tea stains.

The food I ate at night was too salty, so I didn’t care about anything else and just drank it all in one breath.

Just as I put down the cup, I saw Luo Juan coming out. She picked up another enamel pot and started drinking. She finished it in one gulp, smacked her lips and said, "Huh! This water seems to have a taste today. It's an indescribable strange taste. It's a bit hard to drink."

"I guess the kettle wasn't cleaned properly." Liang Wenjing complained unhappily, "I'll get a new one when I get paid."

"Okay." Luo Juan agreed and glanced at the closed room next to her. The mother and daughter looked at each other tacitly.

"Wait a little longer, until you fall asleep."

"good."

In the middle of the night, Guan Jibai opened his eyes and took a few minutes to get used to the darkness, then turned over and got up.

He left the room and went to the living room without turning on the lights. After hesitating for a moment, he calmly entered Luo Juan's room. With the moonlight outside the window, he found Luo Juan's coat hanging in the closet, put it on himself, and then went out.

In the original owner's memory, Luo Juan had an old lover named He Quan. Luo Juan often took advantage of Liang Guoqing working overtime at the factory to have He Quan come to her home in the middle of the night for a secret date, and no one knew about it.

The original owner knew this because something happened later.

The unlucky one was not Luo Juan, but Guan Wanwan.

At that time, after Guan Wanwan returned to the song and dance troupe, she once again gained the attention of her superiors with her extraordinary abilities and gained a firm foothold.

Everything was slowly moving in a good direction, but the night before the mother and daughter decided to move out because they couldn't get their house back, Luo Juan instructed He Quan to frame Guan Wanwan.
