I took her hand and said, "Go to sleep. This time I will take care of you."
She followed my instructions and rested her head on my arm, and we started chatting casually.
She asked me, "Do you know Xu He?"
I shook my head without thinking: "I know him."
Before he finished speaking, I suddenly realized what was happening and immediately asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"Xu He," she repeated.
My heart tightened, and I was puzzled: "Why did you ask me suddenly?"
Peng Xiaomei explained: "The bank arranged for me to be a driver today."
I took a deep breath, and a feeling of uneasiness instantly gripped me: "Do you have any acquaintances in your industry?"
"I know." She paused and asked tentatively, "He is Xu Tong's brother, right?"
I didn't answer. The dizziness brought by the alcohol disappeared in an instant, and my mind was unusually clear - Xu Tao was actually arranged to be Peng Xiaomei's driver? Was this something Yue Mingyuan did on purpose?
With many questions in mind, I asked, "Did anyone from Yue Mingyuan's side go to your bank in the past two days?"
"He Zhibin came," she recalled, "but I didn't see him in the bank. I heard he went to Daxun to meet Mr. Lin."
My heart sank, and I couldn't help but complain to Lin Xun: She didn't even mention a word of this to me at Yuntai Jixian tonight!
My face suddenly darkened. A gradually clear thought came to my mind: after meeting Yue Mingyuan during the Spring Festival, Xu Tong must have foolishly believed that Yue Mingyuan was a "considerate and kind person" and told me all the secrets that were beneficial to me.
In this way, wouldn't I become a transparent person with no cover in front of Yue Mingyuan?
I can even conclude that Xu Tong must have begged Yue Mingyuan to find a job for her brother Xu He.
Under the influence of her original family, Xu Tong was also infected with the idea of favoring boys over girls. Perhaps she had made this request to Yue Mingyuan under the pressure of her mother to find a job for her younger brother.
Moreover, Xu Tong is a person who knows how to use the bargaining chips in her hand to trade with others. Asking for a job for her brother and exchanging my...
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and the more I thought about it, the colder my spine felt. But the only thing I couldn't understand was: it's been more than half a year, why did Yue Mingyuan choose to arrange this at this time?
The job he was assigned was to be Peng Xiaomei's driver! Was this really a simple match?
Could it be that Yue Mingyuan knew that Peng Xiaohui and I had an affair and chose this time point?
Or had Yue Mingyuan been planning to do this for a long time? His fundamental purpose was to place Xu He next to Peng Xiaomei to act as a spy to monitor her.
Or both?
The numerous mysteries were like a thick fog. I took a deep breath and looked at Peng Xiaohui. My voice was low but full of doubt: "Xiaohui, in order to solve the mystery in my heart, I hope you can be honest and answer the following questions truthfully. Okay?"
She turned her head to look at me. My face was solemn, and the heavy atmosphere made her a little nervous. She whispered, "Okay."
I went straight to the point: "What is your relationship with Yue Mingyuan?"
She answered bluntly: "Giver and receiver, boss and employee, that's all."
I took the opportunity to ask, giving her a chance to breathe: "Are you in a relationship?"
She was obviously startled, and then a hint of a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Are you...jealous?"
I kept a straight face and said in a cold voice: "Don't interrupt, answer truthfully."
The smile on her face faded instantly, and she said firmly: "Of course not."
Seeing her answer so clear and straightforward with a frank look in her eyes, it didn't seem like she was faking it.
She seemed afraid that I would not believe her, so she paused and added, "When I was still in Longting Club, a sister I knew told me a story." Her voice was a little lower, "She said that once, Yue Mingyuan called her into the room alone and ordered her to take off all her clothes. She stood there naked, and Yue Mingyuan used only his hands to pinch and twist her body... From beginning to end, he didn't touch her."
She took a breath, with a trace of easily detectable fear in her eyes: "In the end, Yue Mingyuan suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person. He hysterically grabbed a whip and whipped her like crazy... She was beaten until there was not a single piece of healthy flesh on her body. The girl lay in bed for half a month and could not get out of bed. Afterwards, Yue Mingyuan sent someone to give her 20,000 yuan, which was considered... settled."
I spat fiercely: "What a fucking pervert! He simply treats me like a human being!"
However, a shocking thought suddenly popped into my mind: "Could it be that... Yue Mingyuan is not good at that?"
But as soon as this thought came up, I immediately killed it: "That's right! I heard that my son is about to go to school, so it should be that time."
Peng Xiaohui said, "I'm not sure about this. However, I tried to get information from Lu Yuting indirectly. She was very secretive at the time, but she did reveal a little information..." She paused, as if recalling, "It seems that in the early years, when Yue Mingyuan's father was still an official in Xinjiang, Yue Mingyuan was in an accident while riding a horse and was seriously injured. I don't know exactly where he was injured, but I know that it would..."
She stopped talking abruptly and didn't say anything more. But my heart was shocked, and I understood what she meant.
I pondered and said, "I have studied the resume of Yue Mingyuan's father. According to your estimated time point, he should have been very old at that time. I am afraid...he has not yet started a family?"
As soon as this thought came into being, it exploded in my mind like a thunderbolt! I shuddered all over and sat up from the bed! My movement was too violent, and my arm suddenly pulled back. Peng Xiaomei, who was originally resting her head in my arms, was caught off guard and her head hit the mattress heavily with a "bang".
I didn't even bother to apologize, I almost screamed, "How is this possible?! Whose son is that?!"
