Chapter 024 Jinjiang First Launch
"Did you offend someone recently while fortune-telling? Now they are looking for revenge? Why don't you hide first?"
Lame Brother whispered to Bai Mian behind him, and Bai Mian shook his head: "I won't leave. If this happened because of me, then I must face it myself."
The gang was getting closer and closer. Miss Yang had already skillfully hidden behind the shelves. Gao Jin was so scared that her hands and feet were cold. She shook Weng Xuhua's shoulders and said:
"Old man, what's going on? The people my apprentice caught while fortune-telling were all criminals. They have been locked up by the police and will serve many years in prison. Even if they want to take revenge, how can they be released in just two days?"
Weng Xuhua held her hand, coaxed Gao Jin softly, and asked her to go back to the room on the second floor to hide first, while he sat at the table and waited patiently.
When the group of people came to the table, before they could tell him what they were here for, Lame Brother rolled up his sleeves, showing off his arm muscles, and shouted at them:
"Hey, you're here to cause trouble on purpose, right?"
When the middle-aged woman who was calling heard what Lame said, she immediately stepped forward to explain:
"Master, there is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Don't be fooled by the fact that there are so many of us. We have no ill intentions. These people are all our relatives, the children's aunts, uncles, etc. I asked them to come here because I want to consult you about a problem."
After hearing what she said, the people in the store lowered their guard. Lame Brother stepped aside from Bai Mian. Bai Mian looked at the family. They all had dark clouds on their faces. It seemed that something urgent had happened at home. She spoke to the middle-aged woman who was leading the group:
"Hold on, tell me what happened?"
The middle-aged woman sat down in front of Bai Mian and said anxiously, "Master, you must help me. Our family heirloom is lost!"
"Heirloom?" Lame Brother became interested when he heard it, and moved a chair to sit next to Bai Mian to eat melon.
The middle-aged woman gestured with her hands and said, "That is a piece of jade Guanyin, about this size, with very good water head, emerald, and the carving is done by a master. This is a family heirloom passed down for three generations in my husband's family. We have even asked an agency to appraise its price before. If we want to sell it, that piece of jade Guanyin can be sold for six figures!"
"Six figures..." Lame Brother thought for a moment, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets, "That's hundreds of thousands, right? How could you lose something worth hundreds of thousands?"
The middle-aged woman cried, "That's why I'm so anxious now! People have preserved these things for hundreds of years, and now they've been lost here. How can I face my ancestors in a hundred years?"
Bai Mian: "Calm down and tell me from the beginning how the things got lost."
The middle-aged woman calmed down and began to recount what happened:
"My name is Chen Manqiu, the one next to me is my husband Sun Jun, and the group of people behind me are all our relatives. There are too many people, so I won't introduce them one by one."
"Everyone in our family is an intellectual, especially my father-in-law, Grandpa Sun. He is over 70 years old this year and is a retired university professor with a very high pension. His ancestors were once rich and left a large inheritance. In addition to money, there are also several jade carvings. The jade Guanyin that was lost today is one of them."
"My father-in-law is a suspicious person. He doesn't trust anyone but himself. Although he is over 70 years old, all the money in the family is in his hands. My husband and I have to ask him for money for daily living. He treats the jade carving the same way. He doesn't trust us to keep it. He took a rope and strung the jade Guanyin into a necklace and hung it around his neck every day. He would not feel at ease until he wore it day and night."
"How could it be lost if it was watched so strictly?" asked Lame Brother.
"Alas..." Chen Manqiu sighed, "It's a long story. It was originally a good thing, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
"My son Sun Qianyu is taking the college entrance examination this year. The results were just released two days ago. My son did very well and his score exceeded the passing line by a large margin, which is good enough for admission to Beijing University. Isn't it a coincidence that the first choice I applied for him was Beijing University. This way, we are in the safe place and we just need to wait for the admission notice!"
"After the child's grades came out, our whole family was very happy, especially my father-in-law, who smiled from ear to ear every day. We wanted to hold a graduation banquet to celebrate for the child and share the good news with relatives at home."
"We booked a private room at the hotel last night and invited over relatives, a total of more than 20 people. The atmosphere at the table was very good. The relatives also gave my son gifts for his studies. After dinner, we should have left, but I saw that everyone was still having fun, so I suggested that the relatives come to my house and sit for a while."
At this point, Sun Jun pushed Chen Manqiu from behind and said, "It's all your fault. You suggested something for no reason! If you hadn't said anything, this wouldn't have happened, right?"
"How could I know this would happen later?"
Chen Manqiu looked aggrieved and continued, "After arriving at my house, I poured tea for my relatives and cut some fruit. During this time, I was busy in the kitchen while my husband entertained everyone on the sofa."
"My father-in-law has the habit of taking a bath after dinner every day. Today was no exception. After returning from the hotel, he took off the jade Guanyin from his neck and casually placed it on the tea table. Then he went to the bathroom to take a bath. After taking a bath, he chatted with relatives for about half an hour. Then the relatives got up to leave, and my family saw them off."
"Just after everyone left, I was cleaning up the coffee table when I suddenly discovered that the jade Guanyin statue that was originally placed there was gone!"
Lame Brother made a face as if he was covering his heart, as if he was more heartbroken than the owner of the lost item.
"That's a family heirloom, worth six figures!" Sun Jun emphasized.
Chen Manqiu analyzed: "When the old man returned home from the hotel, the necklace was still around his neck. It disappeared after the guests left. This could not have been done by an outsider. It must have been done by a relative. I don't know who was tempted by the money and took the jade Guanyin on the tea table."
"So I called out all the relatives who were present that day. Master, please help me find out who stole the jade. I will confront him face to face!"
"Do you have anyone you suspect?" Bai Mian asked.
Chen Manqiu patted her head and said, "It would be nice if there was one! The problem is that I was in the kitchen the whole time and didn't pay attention to the outside. My husband is also blind and didn't notice who took it. He was only paying attention to people's compliments. After all, his son was going to Beijing University soon and he was so happy that he didn't know what to do!"
Sun Jun scolded her: "It's the same thing, no one should criticize anyone else!"
Lame Brother thought of another person: "Where is your grandfather? Wasn't he chatting with relatives by the tea table after taking a bath? Maybe he saw who took it away."
Chen Manqiu shook his head, looking bitter: "Don't mention it, the old man doesn't know about this yet. He's an old man in his seventies and has high blood pressure. How dare I tell him? Last night he wanted to wear his necklace, so I had to lie to him and said that I had sent the necklace for maintenance and would take it back tomorrow. Only then did he give up. I don't know how I should report to him tonight!"
"Don't worry, don't you? We have our little God of Wealth here. With her here, she can definitely figure out where the necklace is for you. You don't have to wait until tonight for the Jade Guanyin to return to your home!" Lame Brother comforted.
Chen Manqiu nodded listlessly: "I hope so. Find the necklace as soon as possible and return the Jade Guanyin to the old man, and this matter will be covered up."
"What are you hiding? I already know!" A stern voice came from the door. Hearing this voice, Chen Manqiu and Sun Jun shuddered at the same time.
I saw an elderly man in his seventies walking in with a cane. His legs were trembling and he could only cross the threshold with the help of the woman next to him.
When Chen Manqiu saw the woman bringing the old man, he immediately became furious and said, "Yuan Zi, how can you be a nanny? Didn't I tell you not to tell the old man about this and let him stay at home and take care of him peacefully!"
Grandpa Sun knocked on the floor with his cane: "Why are you scolding her? It's none of her business. I came here on my own accord! Do you think you can keep it a secret from me? My neighbor told me that this matter has been all over the Internet. Who wouldn't know about it?!"
Chen Manqiu and Sun Jun both bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes honestly: "I'm sorry, Dad, we were wrong, please don't be angry."
Grandpa Sun shook his head and looked at everyone in the room with disdain:
"How can I not be angry when I see you like this? First of all, let me talk about my jade Guanyin. It is something passed down from my ancestors. I didn't keep it well. I am guilty and I am ashamed of my ancestors!"
"Look at the descendants of my Sun family. They are a family of scholars, but now they have such a generation of people who take advantage of others. It really makes me feel disappointed!"
"And you, my son and my daughter-in-law, you are also intellectuals, why do you only seek help from such quacks when you encounter problems! Where did you read all the books? Don't you know to call the police?"
Chen Manqiu explained to his father-in-law in a low voice: "Dad, these relatives of our family are all well-known and have titles. If we really call the police and they find out who stole it, they will be charged with theft. Even if the jade is found, the future of this relative will be ruined! We should give them a chance. They are all relatives. How can we be so cruel?"
Grandpa Sun nodded and said, "Okay, let's do what my daughter-in-law wants. Let's settle this privately. All the relatives are here today. I'll give you a chance. You can tell me who stole it. Show me the evidence now. I won't say a word. Let's just pretend it never happened!"
這幫親戚你看看我,我看看你,沒人出來回應,大家陷入了尴尬的沉默中。
高瑾也好心幫忙勸道:“年輕人嘛,難免走錯路,只要及時改正就好。”
但是不管怎麽說,孫家的親戚們始終無動于衷,沒有一個人肯承認玉觀音是自己偷的。
陳漫秋看他們這個樣子,狠下了心:“好吧,既然沒人想要這個機會,那我們就動真格的吧!”
說着,她扭過頭,扶着孫老爺子走向白眠:“爸,您坐到這裏把個脈。”
孫老爺子不耐煩地坐下,把手遞給白眠:“把吧!怎麽這個時候你們又突然想起來把脈了,是想治我那高血壓的毛病?我都和你們說了,我那高血壓是老毛病了,治不好!”
“不是的,”陳漫秋解釋道,“這位大師的算命方式就是這樣,需要把脈才能算命,我們讓她把把脈,一下子就知道玉觀音在哪了。”
聽陳漫秋這麽說,孫老爺子唰一下把手縮了回來,他只聽鄰居說自己家人去找人算命,還被直播到了網上,卻不知道原來所謂的算命大師就是眼前這個小姑娘。
雖然老爺子縮回了手,但白眠已經算清楚了他的命數,看老爺子那慌張的神色,白眠嘴角露出一絲不易察覺的笑容。
“怎麽樣,項鏈在哪?”陳漫秋緊張地問。
“暮遠大街第六十九號。”白眠說出這個地址。
陳漫秋趕緊用手機查了查,發現白眠說的地址是一家銀行。
“銀行?我家項鏈怎麽會在銀行裏?”
白眠挑眉:“你打個電話問問不就知道了?”
陳漫秋半信半疑地拿起手機打通了那家銀行電話,接電話的是一個相當年輕的聲音,陳漫秋沒等對方說完固定的開場白,就兇巴巴地說:
“我問你,今天有沒有人把一個玉觀音拿到銀行?”
她描述了一下玉觀音的樣子,對面那個年輕的聲音唯唯諾諾地說:
“這、這是客戶的隐私,我們不能随意洩露,要不我去幫你叫我們領導來?”
“叫什麽領導,你直接告訴我就行了!”陳漫秋威脅道,“這塊玉是我們家的東西,現在被人偷了,我們正在追查那個賊,你要是知道什麽線索不說的話,我馬上就投訴你,不僅投訴,我還要找律師起訴你!我已經記住你的工號了!”
“拜托,我只是個實習生,這份實習工作對我來說很重要……”電話那頭的人猶豫了一會,小聲說道,“我告訴你就是了,你別來找我麻煩,今天早上是有個人到我們銀行存了這樣的一塊玉,存到銀行的保險櫃裏了。”
“哼!”陳漫秋冷哼一聲,“這個保險櫃是誰的?”
“這……”實習生為難了好一會才說,“保險櫃的主人,叫袁紫。”
陳漫秋的目光瞬間看向孫老爺子身邊的小保姆,孫駿不明所以地問:“怎麽了?”
陳漫秋沒理會他,瞪了袁紫一眼,挂了電話就要報警。
“真是日防夜防,家賊難防!原來是你啊,真看不出來,平時看着挺安分的,還敢朝我們家的東西伸手,那塊玉價值六位數,你知道你要蹲多少年牢嗎?”
袁紫攔住陳漫秋報警的手,為自己辯解道:“陳姐,你這可真就是冤枉我了,你想想,你們家那塊玉是昨天丢的,我昨天休假了呀,我根本就不在你家裏,怎麽可能偷玉呢,難道我會隔空取物?”
陳漫秋愣住了:“還真是诶,你昨天休假了,那這——”
她看向白眠:“大師,這是怎麽一回事?”
白眠笑道:“玉觀音是怎麽從茶幾上跑到袁紫的保險櫃裏的,恐怕你最清楚吧,孫老爺子?”
大家一致看向孫老爺子,直呼沒想到,老爺子別過頭,長滿皺紋的臉變得通紅。
陳漫秋和孫駿對視了一眼,陳漫秋上前問道:“爸,你和她是怎麽回事?難道……你……她……你們兩個……可是你都七十多了,她才二十幾啊!”
孫老爺子用手擋住臉,不肯與任何人對視,只是一味嘴硬:“血口噴人,我不知道你們在說什麽!”
白眠的直播間飄過滿屏“哈哈哈”的彈幕。
【哦豁,答案揭曉,竟然是賊喊捉賊!】
【這老色胚,都半拉身子進棺材的人了,還搞小保姆,真是炸裂!】
【這件事充分說明,男人啊,只有挂在牆上才老實】
【好丢人啊,我要是這老頭,真想換個星球生活】
孫駿上前想說些什麽,但又實在說不下去。
“不是我說你,爸,你這也太……唉,真是為老不尊!”
親戚們都圍上來,大家你一句我一句地批評着老爺子,老爺子實在是面上挂不住了,他怒喝一聲:
“夠了,你們這些人眼裏還有沒有長輩!平時都是我教訓你們,今天反倒輪到你們來教訓我了?就算我和阿紫真的戀愛了,又有什麽錯?你們都說我七十歲了,可我只是老了,又不是死了,我這顆心還會跳動!我也需要感情,需要有人疼,你們誰為我着想過?”
陳漫秋立刻反問:“爸,你說這話可就昧良心了,難道我們沒給你安排過相親?自從我婆婆走了之後,我們給你介紹了一個又一個老太太,可你總說瞧不上,問你原因你就搖頭,我們還以為你是喜歡單身,原來你早就和保姆勾搭在了一起,難怪看不上那些老太太呢!”
孫老頭瞪了陳漫秋一眼:“什麽勾搭,說得這麽難聽,你給我注意用詞,我們之間那叫愛情!”
孫駿哭笑不得:“你愛她,所以就把咱們家的傳家寶送給她?”
孫老頭又是一通吹胡子瞪眼:“這有什麽,我自己的東西,我想給誰就給誰,只有阿紫是真心對我好,你們都是一群惦記我東西的白眼狼!将來就算我把房子都過繼給阿紫,你們也管不着!”
“爸,你這就是說氣話了,”陳漫秋問,“你既然想把玉觀音給她,為什麽不拿出來大大方方地給?何苦來這一出,搞得我還以為家裏出了個賊,把親戚們興師動衆的都叫來,全叫人家看了咱們的笑話了!”
孫老頭子沒好氣地抱怨:“我要是真大大方方地給她,你們能同意嗎?你們非得在我面前一哭二鬧三上吊不可!就是為了防着你們鬧事,我才不得已出此下策!”
孫駿苦笑着點頭:“是是是,您老的妙計高明,把我們都給哄騙過去了,可是你到底是怎麽做到的呢?昨天夜裏我和我媳婦發現項鏈不見了之後,幾乎把整個家都翻遍了,也沒找到那個玉觀音,您老到底藏哪了?”
老爺子的孩子氣上來了,他得意洋洋地撅起嘴不說話,就是不告訴自己的兒子。
白眠實在看不下去,幫孫駿解答了這個問題:“其實昨天玉觀音一直都在你家,就在一個你想不到的位置。”
“昨天老爺子洗完澡以後,出來假意和親戚們聊天,實際上他趁衆人不注意的時候拿一張紙巾覆蓋住茶幾上的玉觀音,然後過了一會,又謊稱上廁所,捏起那張紙巾進了衛生間,玉觀音就這樣夾在紙巾裏,被他不知不覺帶進了衛生間。”
“進入衛生間以後,他把玉觀音藏進了馬桶的水箱裏,一般人不會去檢查這個位置,果然,你們找了一晚上都沒找到,第二天等袁紫來上班的時候,他再偷偷把玉觀音從水箱裏拿出來,送給袁紫,然後就袁紫把它存進了自己在銀行的保險箱。”
孫駿一拍大腿:“真是的,誰能想到馬桶水箱裏還能藏東西!”
陳漫秋拍拍胸口:“算啦,東西沒丢就好,還好我昨天沒報警,否則咱們家可就糗大了。”
“他就是認準你們不敢報警,”白眠說,“你們和一幹親戚都是要面子的人,遇到這種事肯定不想鬧大,他賭你們只會私下找找,找不到就算了,這樣以後你們家的人都會以為這塊玉觀音下落不明,誰也想不到,其實它是被老人拿去送給自己的小女友了。”
陳漫秋一陣後怕:“是啊,要是實在找不到,我們也只能就這麽算了,六位數的家産,就這樣白白送給了別人,太可怕了,大師,幸虧我們找上了你,否則真是不敢想象啊,大師,我要答謝你!”
她說着,掃了一下店裏的二維碼:“大師,我給你轉一萬塊,錢不多,聊表心意。”
“不必,”白眠立即制止,“我只收十元,多的不要。”
陳漫秋轉錢不成,對着白眠又是一陣贊美:“大師,你真是宅心仁厚啊,我回去以後一定幫你多多宣傳!”
白眠謙虛笑笑,沒有多說。
事情解決了,也該商量下一步對策了,陳漫秋直截了當地對袁紫說:“把玉觀音還回來,我不會報警,對于你勾搭我們家老爺子的事情,我也既往不咎,這個月的工資我立刻結給你,拿到工資之後你就收拾東西走人吧,我們家容不下你了!”
袁紫卻沒說話,露出一個微妙的笑容,雙眼看向孫老爺子,顯然是等着自己的“靠山”來給她主持公道。
孫老爺子拄着拐杖站了起來,怒不可遏地朝陳漫秋大喊道:“我還沒死呢!有我在這裏,我看誰敢讓阿紫走!玉觀音是我孫家的東西,你們現在享受的一切都是我年輕時候掙下來的家業,我孫家的錢怎麽花,給誰花,還輪不到一個外人來指指點點!”
陳漫秋聽了這話,不敢置信地眨了眨眼,然後掩面大哭起來:“嗚嗚嗚,爸,我孝敬你幾十年,你居然說我是個外人,老公,你是聾了嗎!你爸罵我是個外人,你難道不管管?”
孫駿夾在妻子和父親之間左右為難,他急得抓耳撓腮,不知道該幫誰,最後實在沒辦法了,他幹脆求助地看向了白眠。
老爺子大手一揮,示意誰都不要靠近:“不管你們說什麽,我的心意都不會動搖的,我和阿紫是真愛!今天為了阿紫,我就倚老賣老一回,你們誰要是敢上來勸說,我就拿拐杖打誰!”
瘸哥使了個眼神,示意白眠躲遠點:
“我滴媽呀,年齡這麽大了,身體又不好,別倒在咱們店裏,再訛上咱們!”
白眠不僅沒有靠後,反而還大着膽子向前走了幾步,孫老爺子看到她靠近,立刻對她揮舞起了拐杖:“你給我退到一邊去,退後!”
白眠露出一抹淺笑:“老爺子,你說得沒錯,我知道你對她是真愛。”
白眠說完這句話,孫老爺子對白眠有了改觀,他睜大眼睛問:“你能理解我?”
“當然,”白眠點點頭,“自從袁紫來到你身邊之後,她每天都會讀書給你聽,你年齡大了,眼睛不太好,已經很久沒有接觸書籍了,她的朗讀聲讓你想起了年輕時的校園時光,更喚起了你久違的心動。”
“我相信你不是像他們說的那樣見色起意,你是真的愛袁紫。”
白眠的話讓老爺子熱淚盈眶,老爺子放下拐杖,緊緊握住白眠的手:“謝謝你,孩子,你簡直是我的知己啊!”
白眠話鋒一轉:“但是,你知不知道,你真愛的這個女人,時時刻刻都想要你死。”
“啊?”老爺子一聽,拼命否認,“你胡說,她不會的!”
白眠又往前走了幾步,走到袁紫面前,直視着袁紫的雙眼,說出了她的履歷:
“袁紫,女,二十六歲,自從高中畢業以來,你就開始從事保姆行業,在你八年的職業生涯裏,你總共換過三次東家。”
“每一次換東家的時候,你都會選擇單身老年男性作為客戶,并且你和你的每一任客戶都談過戀愛。”
“第一個,朱啓正,北海市著名畫家,晚年癱瘓,行動不便,你常年在他身邊照顧他,他對你産生了感情,送你一幅價值七位數的名畫作為禮物,你拿到這幅畫後,朱啓正很快就去世了,你也離開了北海市。”
“第二個,谷棋,京城著名古董商人,你再次投其所好,用同樣的套路從他手裏得到了一套古代瓷器,你拿到瓷器之後,谷棋也很快就去世了,接着你離開了京城。”
“第三個,也就是今天的孫老爺子,在你拿到玉觀音之後,如果我們沒有發現,恐怕孫老爺子也會不幸去世吧?”
孫老爺子沒了剛才的氣勢,他有些恐懼地回頭問袁紫:“她說的這些……不會是真的吧?”
袁紫妩媚一笑:“是她說的太吓人了,那些人都是自己不好好保養身體才會去世的,怎麽能怪到我頭上呢?你可不要和他們比,你身強體健,能活好多年呢!”
陳漫秋也覺得背後發涼,她疑惑地問:“難道你說的前兩位大名人都沒有子女或者其他家人嗎?子女為什麽不報警抓她呢,一看就是她幹的!”
“不,他們當然有子女,但是他們的子女都對他們的死諱莫如深,”白眠勾起唇角,“這是因為,他們的死法都相當特別。”
陳漫秋追問:“什麽死法?”
白眠看向袁紫:“這些人都是被她用同一種藥物‘害’死的。”
“不可能!”陳漫秋揮揮手,“我家老爺子平時身體就不好,有高血壓,所以他吃飯吃藥什麽的我都特別注意,但凡是他入口的東西,我都要盯着,絕對不可能有不明不白的藥物混進去!”
“但是有一種情況,你是無法盯着的。”白眠提示道。
“哪種情況?”陳漫秋還是不明白。
白眠看了看手機,這裏畢竟開着直播,她擔心自己說出這個詞會導致直播間被封,所以她換了一種說法:
“我不太方便說,這樣吧,我告訴你們藥的位置,你們自己去找,藥就在衣櫃下面那一排第三個格子裏。”
陳漫秋左右瞅了一圈,家裏所有人都出來了,留在家裏的應該只剩自己剛高考完的兒子了,于是她拿起手機給兒子打去了電話。
“喂,媽媽,你們去哪了,怎麽一大清早家裏人都走光了?”兒子睡意惺忪地問。
陳漫秋火急火燎地說:“回去再和你解釋,兒子,你起床幫媽媽找一盒藥,就在衣櫃下面那一排第三個格子裏,找到以後告訴媽媽。”
孫謙羽打着哈欠起身,打開了衣櫃,看到藥的名字以後,他瞬間清醒了:“媽媽……你要這種藥幹嘛?”
陳漫秋随口說:“你別管了,媽和你爸在外邊呢,現在有急用,你告訴我,那藥名叫什麽?”
孫謙羽羞澀地開口:“這是……偉哥,媽媽……你怎麽會需要這個……難道我爸……”
陳漫秋的臉砰一下紅了,她不知道該怎麽和兒子解釋,直接挂掉了電話。
孫駿好奇地湊上來問:“爸吃的是什麽藥?”
陳漫秋附在他耳邊,把藥的名字告訴了他,孫駿也呆住了。
經過一圈竊竊私語之後,所有人都知道了孫老爺子吃的藥,大家的目光齊齊看向孫老爺子。
孫老爺子站在人群中央,一張老臉羞得面紅耳赤,恨不得找條地縫鑽進去。
孫駿一個箭步沖上前,指着孫老爺子說:“爸,你太胡來了,你怎麽能和她發生關系呢?”
陳漫秋也上前幫腔:“是啊,爸,你這麽大歲數,身體又不好,走路都費勁了,你還冒着生命危險去吃藥!你知不知道,這種藥會刺激人的心髒和血液,你一個不小心就死在床上了!”
“所以,你現在應該可以理解,為什麽之前的死者家屬不願意報警,也不願意追究這件事了,他們都只想盡快把屍體火化,息事寧人,以免傳出醜聞,傷了全家人的體面。”白眠抱起雙臂說。
陳漫秋搖着頭看向老爺子:“爸啊,不是我說你,你也是個文化人,應該知道什麽藥能吃,什麽藥不能吃,怎麽會犯這種錯誤呢?”
“不管什麽年齡,男人總喜歡在心愛的女人面前逞能,”白眠朝着袁紫的方向歪了歪頭,“他們談戀愛之後,自然會發生親密行為,老爺子歲數大了,難免力不從心,這個時候袁紫就給他推薦了這種藥,老爺子還以為她在幫自己,吃得不亦樂乎呢。”
聽了白眠的一番分析,孫老爺子也對自己的“真愛”産生了懷疑,他不知不覺地挪動腳步,從袁紫身邊走開,不再為她說話了。
老爺子态度一變,陳漫秋瞬間有了底氣,她兩手叉腰,大喊道:“以前的受害者家屬不追究,我們家可要追究,這可不是一般的勾引,她簡直就是個到處流竄的連環殺人犯!我不能再讓她跑了,二姐三姐,你們幫我摁住她,弟妹,你幫我報警,我今天非要追究到底!”
“我不僅要讓她把玉觀音還回來,還要讓她賠償我們一家的精神損失費,賠我們家老爺子的治療費用,我和她沒完!”
人群中幾個彪悍的女人沖了出來,按照陳漫秋的吩咐把人摁住,看着袁紫狼狽的樣子,孫老爺子只是閉上了眼不忍再看,卻也沒有制止。
控制住袁紫以後,陳漫秋又回過頭來,一步步走到孫老爺子面前,鄭重地說:
“爸,這次你一時沖動,上當受騙,不僅讓咱們家損失了財産,還差點把命搭進去,當然了,我也不是要指責你,人嘛,孰能無過,況且我們發現得及時,項鏈還能追回來,但是,有件事你不得不承認——”
“你老了,真的開始老糊塗了。”
Chen Manqiu's eyes were burning as he continued, "You are no longer suitable to manage the family's money in your current situation. What if a new nanny comes next time? Can you handle it? I'm afraid that if you are tempted, you will hand over all the family's property."
"So, from now on, let me take care of the family property." After laying the foundation layer by layer, Chen Manqiu finally said this.
Grandpa Sun subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the eyes of the relatives around him were all condemning him. At this moment, Grandpa Sun was no longer the same as when he first came in. In the eyes of everyone, he was just a confused old pervert.
The old man bent down and was forced to relax: "...Okay."
"Thank you, Dad. You are wise!" Chen Manqiu bowed jokingly, and then immediately asked, "Then count our family's property after returning home and make a property list for me. Transfer all that can be transferred to my name. For those that cannot be transferred, such as time deposits, tell me the passwords."
Grandpa Sun nodded, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
After the old man nodded, Chen Manqiu opened his arms and waved to all the relatives: "Dear relatives! I am sorry to bother you all today. You have come all the way here for nothing. The result is all caused by our family. Please excuse me. Fortunately, everyone is happy in the end. How about this, since everyone is here, I will treat you all to lunch. I will be the host. It will be my reward to you all!"
"Who dares to go? I'm afraid something will be lost in your house after dinner!" a relative said with a smile.
Just as this group of people were about to leave in a noisy manner, Bai Mian suddenly stopped them: "Wait a minute——"
Chen Manqiu turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Bai Mian smiled and said, "I'm afraid you have been waiting for this moment since you first walked in, Ms. Chen?"
