Chapter 31 Lingjiang Dinner [VIP]
"A get-together?" Lin Zhihua looked up from her papers. "Sure! I haven't seen my old teacher in ages. Let's go next weekend."
Fu Shengyan nodded and told the information he had obtained at the police station one by one.
Lin Zhihua pondered for a moment. This was almost the same as the information Fu Jinnian had given her.
Medical malpractice...
The information sent for investigation soon received a response. Xia Youxi had died two months ago. The cause of death was unknown. There was only a surgical risk notification and a death certificate issued by Ruian General Hospital.
Xia Youxi's father, Xia Liangcai, brought his family to the hospital to make a fuss for a few days, but soon signed the settlement agreement. Not long after, he left City A with a large sum of compensation from the hospital.
Xia Youxi's family has already reached a private settlement with the hospital, so who commissioned Fu Shengyan to investigate this case?
This client must know the hidden story, but because the files were damaged and Liu Kaining was bribed, Lin Zhihua is now a little worried about his safety.
The pen rotated flexibly at her fingertips. Following this clue, the most important thing at the moment was to find Liu Kaining's whereabouts and ask him about the client.
Fu Jinnian believed that the car accident was man-made, and disguised this premeditated murder as a traffic accident. The perpetrators were all killed. His plan was to take people's lives without anyone knowing.
It is not difficult to guess that the person who planned this incident is very likely related to Ruian General Hospital. As long as they carefully check Fu Shengyan's background, they will find that he is the heir of the Fu family.
Even if it means offending the Fu family, I still have to take action...
Lin Zhihua sighed and stroked the furry head that leaned over. "Mr. Fu, this case you've taken on is going to cost several lives."
The man blinked in confusion and rubbed her neck again.
Knowing that this guy didn't remember anything, facing such a pair of clear and innocent eyes, Lin Zhihua couldn't say anything to accuse him.
To avoid any more trouble, she decided to take the initiative to look for clues. "Come with me to Ruian General Hospital this weekend."
"Okay." Fu Shengyan nodded hurriedly. As long as he was with his wife, it didn't matter where he went!
In the afternoon, Lin Zhihua went to work as usual and sent Fu Shengyan, who was throwing a tantrum and insisting on staying in the office, to the office building opposite.
"Be good, I'll pick you up from get off work at five o'clock." Lin Zhihua patted the big head on his chest.
"Can't we really stay here?" Fu Shengyan blinked his tearful eyes, trying to awaken the pity in Lin Zhihua's heart.
"Stop making trouble." Lin Zhihua cruelly pulled him off her body and prepared to hand him over to Assistant Yu who had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
After an advance kiss and a lot of extravagant promises, she finally managed to coax him into submission. She rubbed his fuzzy hair and said, "Stay in the office and work well this afternoon. Don't run around."
Fu Shengyan obediently let go of her hand and left happily with the several pounds of cakes that his wife had drawn for him.
As soon as he stepped out of the office, Fu Shengyan put away the smile on his face, maintaining a stern expression. With his hair flying in disorder, he raised his chin towards Yu Yao and said, "Go back to the office."
"Okay, Fu Lu."
Witnessing Fu Shengyan fixing his hair and his happy and satisfied back as he left, Ye Qianxi covered her heart. These two have been married for three years, why are they still as sticky as if they were in the honeymoon period every day!
Then I thought, isn't it the honeymoon period? Oh my, my teeth hurt from eating so much candy.
In order to avoid seeing scenes that should not be seen, Secretary Ye waited for L at the door for a while, and did not forget to send some sweets on behalf of the real person in the group.
Five minutes later, the office door was opened from the inside by Lin Zhihua.
"Boss Lin." Ye Qianxi didn't feel the slightest bit of embarrassment at being caught slacking off by her boss. She calmly put her phone away and said, "Manager Cheng's R&D progress report has been sent over."
"Put it on my desk." Lin Zhihua nodded slightly, pretending not to notice Secretary Ye was slacking off. "Remember to remind the Human Resources Department to hire Professor Jian Anning with the utmost sincerity."
"Okay." Secretary Ye picked up the schedule. "Also, President Su invites you to a cocktail party this Friday at Lingjiang Villa."
Lin Zhihua's eyes moved.
The Su family launched a big project in the south of the city this year and invited many partners to develop it together. The surrounding land also became popular and rose rapidly in value. The piece of land that Ji Lingxiao had originally set his eyes on had been held by someone else, and it was thanks to Lin Zhihua that he was able to acquire it without any danger.
The Su family created a lot of momentum for this Lingjiang cocktail party. It was said that all the important people in City A were invited, and there was a hint that they wanted to suppress the Fu family.
The current head of the Su family likes to do venture capital, especially investing in many emerging companies in hot fields in recent years. Their biggest competitor in the industry, Xinrui Technology, is said to be one of the companies that Su Huahao supports.
Just as I was thinking about it, Ji Lingxiao called.
"Xiao Zhi Hua,
"You're not going?" Lin Zhihua asked back.
The person on the other end of the phone was still looking at the schedule, "I happen to be going back this Friday. They specially invited me three days in advance. How can I
"Then let's go together on Friday." Hao made an appointment with her and then hung up the phone.
She just hung up the phone when a call came in.
"Come with me to Lingjiang the day after tomorrow. The Su family is having a dinner party." The Su family and the Fu family are old friends. This time, the Fu family is also participating in the new project hosted by the Su family in the south of the city. There are many people coming, and Fu Jinnian has the idea of taking his son to meet more people.
Fu Shengyan is a weirdo in the upper class circles of City A. He has never liked attending banquets since he was a child. Except for a few families with whom he is very close, there are only a handful of people in the entire City A who have ever seen the heir of the Fu family.
Now Fu Jinnian suspected that the reason this car accident happened was that he did not often show up, which allowed that group of people to dare to attack their Fu family openly.
Fu Shengyan was a little reluctant to go, but after being scolded by his father on the phone, he reluctantly agreed.
When he returned home, Fu Shengyan was disappointed to learn that Lin Zhihua had already made an appointment with Ji Lingxiao to go together. He could only openly prepare a few couple dresses for his wife to secretly show their relationship.
Lin Zhihua didn't expect Fu Shengyan to attend the dinner this time, but she had already made an appointment with Ji Lingxiao in advance, so it was difficult to refuse. She was afraid that Fu Shengyan would make trouble for her, so she could only let him think about his outfit before the dinner.
On the day of the banquet, Ji Lingxiao saw Lin Zhihua in a luxurious diamond-studded evening gown, which she had styled. He opened his mouth slightly, and a glint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Xiao Zhihua, you are so beautiful tonight, aren't you? Have you finally come to your senses?"
A long string of numbers seemed to appear in front of Ji Lingxiao's eyes. Lin Zhihua was wearing a warm mutton-fat jade bracelet on her wrist, and the same earrings and necklace. She appeared at the party in this outfit, and she was definitely the most beautiful woman among all the other girls.
You know, in the past, when Lin Zhihua attended a dinner party, she would at most wear the most expensive haute couture suit in her wardrobe, and she would never specially wear an evening gown and accessorize it.
Lin Zhihua turned the ring on her left ring finger a little uncomfortably. She didn't want to lose the jewelry because she would be heartbroken. But she couldn't resist someone who insisted on putting it on her.
"If your family sees this, they will be jealous to death." Ji Lingxiao teased her with a smile.
Lin Zhihua smiled and said nothing, but she thought in her heart that it probably wouldn't happen, after all, these were all selected for her by Fu Shengyan.
The extended Lincoln slowly stopped under the gilded archway of Lingjiang Villa, and the waiter wearing white gloves bent over and opened the car door.
The two stepped out of the car one after another. Ji Lingxiao looked around and saw several familiar license plates.
"Did the Su family invite half of City A's aristocratic families and group presidents?" Ji Lingxiao chuckled softly, his fingertips gently tidying up the loose hair by Lin Zhihua's ear. "Our little Zhihua is going to outshine all the other socialites and rich girls tonight."
"Let's go." Lin Zhihuamei's eyes showed a hint of helplessness, "Sister Lingxiao, you've been praising me all the way. I've been married for so many years, how can I not be the focus tonight?"
Under the guidance of the waiter, the two walked into the banquet hall together, and the dazzling light and shadow instantly poured down like a galaxy.
Lin Zhihua was blinded. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked for Fu Shengyan in the huge banquet hall.
I told her about it half an hour ago, why is there no sign of her?
"Sister, you're here!" Ji Yuxiang noticed Ji Lingxiao appearing at the door of the banquet hall. When he saw Lin Zhihua arm in arm with her, his eyes lit up and he walked straight over, leaving his acquaintances behind.
Ji Yuxiang took two new glasses of wine from the waiter and walked over with the tray. Ji Lingxiao took a glass of wine, took a sip of champagne, and looked at him sideways, "Why are you so eager to come to me today? Aren't you going to hang out with your group of friends anymore?"
Lin Zhihua found him familiar and didn't think much about it. She just thought he was Ji Lingxiao's younger brother, so she felt familiar with him. She smiled at him gently and reached out to take a glass of champagne.
Ji Yuxiang's gaze lingered on her for a second, and he said with a grin, "As soon as my sister and this angel sister entered the venue, everyone's eyes turned to us. It was hard for me not to notice."
Ji Lingxiao raised her eyebrows. She knew her bastard brother very well. Judging from his attitude, could he be attracted to her junior sister?
She calmly gave him a threatening glare, "This is my college roommate and best friend—Lin Zhihua."
"Ah!" Ji Yuxiang exclaimed softly. He blinked at Lin Zhihua, "I've heard of Sister Zhihua's name, but I didn't expect Mr. Lin from Zhixing Technology to be so young!"
"Hello." Lin Zhihua nodded at him politely.
Ji Yuxiang put the tray in the hands of the waiter next to him. He didn't stick to her to chat, but smiled and said, "You two sisters, chat, I'm going to go play with my friends."
"Go ahead." Ji Lingxiao was a little surprised. Had this kid changed his personality? Or had she misunderstood?
Lin Zhihua didn't care about this little episode. She looked at the bubbles floating lightly in the cup, feeling a little absent-minded.
Many eyes fell on them, and they hesitated to step forward. Suddenly, the lights in the banquet hall dimmed, and the Su family, as the host, prepared to take the stage to give a speech.
Lin Zhihua took the opportunity to look around the room. She said calmly, "Let's go in and take a look."
