Chapter 833 He is serious this time
Unless it wasn't silk at all, but something else.
Zhong Yi thought about this problem, and Feng Nanxi also reacted quickly.
She stared at Zhong Yi with wide eyes: "Is there something fishy going on here? How dare they tamper with such a large dock?"
The Pei family is already wealthy and powerful, so there must be something worth smuggling for them.
It must be something shameful.
Zhong Yi said calmly, "I have no evidence for what I said. It's just speculation. I need you to... verify it."
Feng Nanxi laughed dryly: "Hahaha, how could I be so capable?"
Zhong Yi asked back, "Don't you even get insider information?"
"I..." Oh no!
Feng Nanxi thought to herself that this was not good. She was a little too anxious to come here as soon as she got the news. She hoped that her vest would not be completely exposed.
She lied and said, "Pei Gan accidentally let it slip and I found out."
"Will the Pei family's secrets be told to Pei Gan?"
Pei Gan is a prodigal son. If the secret of silk is true, then the Pei family will never reveal it. Pei Zheng is a smart and ruthless person. How could he be so careless?
"He overheard it accidentally. He's a loose-lipped man, so he could just get anything out of him. After all, I'm going to be engaged to him, and even if we don't get along, we'll still spend more time together."
Feng Nanxi's ears turned a little red.
She is lying.
I didn't have many opportunities to meet Pei Gan, and every time we did, we would always quarrel and leave on bad terms. Unless both sets of parents were present, I could only manage to shut up and spend some quiet time with Pei Gan.
How could that money-losing guy possibly tell her such a secret!
But she couldn't tell Zhong Yi that she was an internationally renowned top hacker.
Wouldn't that put the handle in his hand?
People like them cannot see the light.
Zhong Yi looked at her with a half-smile: "Oh? I didn't expect that your relationship with Pei Gan is progressing well."
Feng Nanxi looked at his expression and felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.
What's that look? Is he looking down on her?
"Mr. Zhong, after all, I'm not bad looking, and my family background is also acceptable. Why would Pei Gan look down on me? Our two families are already discussing the marriage, and I will definitely give you an invitation on the day of the engagement party. Don't worry about me."
Feng Nanxi said harshly.
Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Then you better hurry up. Don't delay for a few years until you get married and the Pei family is still here. That way, your life will be wasted. My monthly salary of 10 million is not easy to earn."
"Isn't the news I gave you today big enough?"
"Very good, wait until I confirm it."
"I can't help you with the silk problem, Master Zhong. I can only provide some clues." Feng Nanxi picked up her chopsticks and ate the food naturally. She had spent most of the day in the court and hadn't even had a hot meal.
It’s just right now that we have a table full of delicious food.
Feng Nanxi deliberately changed the subject: "This private restaurant's dishes are really delicious."
"Is this a specialty of Haicheng? I didn't expect it to suit my taste so well."
She muttered a few words.
Zhong Yi looked at her without asking any further questions.
Some window papers are no longer fun once they are broken.
…
The other side.
Cheng Han was sent back to the villa drunk.
Xiao Yuan and Sun Weimeng both stepped forward to support him. "Old man, why did you drink so much? Who did you drink with?"
Sun Weimeng had a worried look on his face: "At this age, the previous injuries have not yet fully healed, so don't drink too much and get sick."
Xiao Yuan quickly said, "Then I'll go to the kitchen and make some hangover soup."
"You go ahead, I'll help the old man."
Sun Weimeng helped the man to the sofa, poured him a glass of warm water and fed him to drink.
"Mr. Cheng, are you feeling unwell?"
He had barely finished speaking when he heard hurried footsteps on the stairs. Cheng Qingnian, tears streaming down her face, walked up to them. Sun Weiming reached out to protect Cheng Han, fearing that this love-struck woman might do something unexpected.
"Dad!" Cheng Qingnian cried until her voice was hoarse. "How could you really go as a witness? And you made the charges so serious! Even if Lu Bannong deserved it, you should at least say something good about him. We've been separated for so many years, and we've only just met... and she's going to jail! For five years!"
How many five-year periods do we have in our life?
Cheng Qingnian was confined at home, and the Huo family refused to allow her to attend, claiming she had mental problems. However, the court's trial and verdict were broadcast live, and the case of Lu Yingxue and Lu Bannong had garnered widespread attention, so the public deserved an explanation!
Cheng Qingnian naturally saw the whole thing.
She didn't expect her father to be so heartless. After seeing the court's verdict, she felt that five years was too cruel for a girl.
But she didn't think about the fact that Lu Yingxue once wanted to kill someone.
"Dad! Can we appeal again? I think this is unfair!"
Cheng Qingnian pleaded, but met Cheng Han's cold eyes.
There was no warmth in it, it was like looking at a stranger.
Cheng Qingnian's voice gradually lowered, and she felt a little scared. Her father had always been very serious, but before, he would always look at her with some helplessness and tenderness, but now he was cold, as if all the affection had disappeared.
She didn't dare cry anymore.
Cheng Han stood up somewhat unsteadily, looked at her and said, "You said before that if she was really sentenced, you would stay in the capital and visit her in prison every month. Is that true?"
"……yes."
"Then you should stay in the imperial capital." Cheng Han drank some wine and put aside all the complicated family ties.
"What?"
Cheng Qingnian thought he had misheard and also thought that Cheng Han might be drunk.
"You stay in the imperial capital and take care of your daughter until she is released from prison. I will return to Moon Village. Even if you encounter any trouble in the future, don't come looking for me. Our fate as father and daughter ends here."
After talking to her so much, nothing makes sense.
Then talk to her clearly.
His drinking was not in vain.
Cheng Qingnian's face was full of disbelief.
But Cheng Han didn't want to argue with her and just said, "You should find a house and a job in the capital. Don't be so shameless as to stay at Miss Qiao's house. You've repaid her with evil for her kindness. She has done nothing wrong to you."
These words made Cheng Qingnian blush.
"I'll give you half of my savings, but I haven't saved much over the years. I can only give you 30,000 to 50,000 yuan at most, and you can use it to live in the imperial capital. Anyway, the Huo family has already issued your identity card, so if you put aside your pride and look for a job, you should still be able to find one."
If some people insist on suffering, then let them.
He didn't stop her.
Cheng Qingnian opened her mouth, her mind blank, not knowing what to say. All of this was going differently than she had imagined.
It turns out that my father wasn't just saying harsh words, he was serious.
