Chapter 52 Is your mother's name Lin Huaping?
Of course not.
He has never been in a relationship since the girl he liked went abroad. Meng Jinyan knew this clearly, but she still deliberately provoked him, which was obviously stabbing him in the heart.
After he sat down on the sofa with his hand on his chest, he unilaterally broke off relations with Meng Jinyan for five minutes.
Five minutes later, he expressed his opinion on the fact that he had been showing off crazily during this period, "Aren't you afraid that the mistresses will take advantage of your weakness and set a trap for Jin Yu if you do this?"
Hearing this, Meng Jinyan stopped playing with it.
He raised his eyes, the smile on his lips fading a little, "On the contrary, because I am so high-profile, they dare not act rashly. They have already troubled Jin Yu several times when you were away. If I don't make my position clear, they will become even more presumptuous."
Before, he had thought about distancing himself from Jin Yu, so that Fa Mingzhu and Yue Zheng would not touch her. But what happened in the past few days made him understand clearly that as long as she had any relationship with him, Meng Jinyan, no matter whether he was distant or close, as long as they felt she was a threat, they would destroy her at all costs.
In that case, he might as well keep Jin Yu under his nose and watch her. If anyone dares to touch her, he will fight back a thousand times.
Only when they are hurt badly enough will they remember the beating.
At this point, he couldn't help but tell him one more thing, "Xiao Ji is working with Meng Ning on the construction site, and the rest of the time he's looking for the whereabouts of Jin Yu's biological father. As for Meng Xuyun's work at the nursing home, I'll leave it to you to follow up."
Jing Yubai made an OK gesture to him.
"Don't worry about what I do."
At the same time, Gu Feng came in to report, "Master Yan, the matter of Jinggu Teahouse has been basically investigated. This teahouse was built initially by the young mistress's mother, Lin Huaping, who took out a loan from the bank. At first, the scale of the teahouse was not as large as it is now. It was later that someone invested in it, and the teahouse became bigger and bigger. Now the person in charge of the teahouse is this person, her name is Gu Qinghuan. I asked the insiders of the teahouse and found out that Gu Qinghuan wanted to sell her shares in the teahouse recently."
Hearing this, Jing Yubai asked in confusion, "Lin Huaping has passed away. Don't the people in the teahouse know about it?"
Gu Feng nodded. "Lin Huaping handles the affairs of the teahouse and never shows up. Almost all matters are handled through emails. However, some people say that Lin Huaping's assistant Jian Bing has met her. Another thing is that it is said that before Lin Huaping's accident, she temporarily handed over the affairs of the teahouse to Gu Qinghuan. Later, because of Lin Huaping's accidental death, Gu Qinghuan and Jian Bing could not contact her. The two were afraid that it would affect the normal operation and development of the teahouse, so they told their subordinates that Lin Huaping went abroad to develop. After that, she handed over the affairs of the teahouse to the two of them."
After hearing this, Meng Jinyan felt it was outrageous.
He pinched his brow and asked calmly, "Who holds the most shares in the teahouse now?"
"It's Lin Huaping."
Jing Yubai burst into laughter. "This is nonsense. Lin Huaping has been dead for six years. Her ID card has been cancelled. She holds the largest number of shares. How did they avoid paying taxes all these years?"
Gu Feng cleared his throat and said, "That's the weird part. Logically, after Lin Huaping passed away, her assets should have been inherited by her children and parents. However, the young mistress said that she didn't know about the existence of this teahouse from the beginning to the end."
At this time, Meng Jinyan spoke.
"It is estimated that Gu Qinghuan and Jian Bing concealed it. We need to investigate further to find out what Gu Qinghuan's intention is in selling the shares. If she really wants to sell them, let our people buy them at any price."
-
Jinggu Teahouse.
Wen Chuyue held Jin Yu's hand worriedly.
"Otherwise, I'll ask Gu Feng to ask the eldest master if he has an invitation. If he does, I'll go in with you. I'm really worried if you go in alone."
Jin Yu smiled and touched her face, his voice gentle.
"It doesn't matter. I will have to face these things sooner or later. Besides, I just went in to take a look today."
Although she was extremely reluctant, the show was about to start, so Wen Chuyue had no choice but to send her in reluctantly.
"Then protect yourself."
Jin Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, I will."
Others took the invitation and confirmed their identity and went in directly, but Jinyu had to go through the additional process of confirming a letter of guarantee.
Five minutes later, she came into the hall under the guidance of the waiter.
After entering, she discovered that this so-called auction was completely different from what she had imagined.
In my impression, at an auction, after everyone is seated, the host will give a passionate introduction on stage, and then give the initial price. After that, there will be competition and arguing among the buyers. But here, it is so quiet. Men in suits and women with exquisite makeup all quietly look at the items they are interested in. If they want to bid, they will put a card with their name on it next to the item. Afterwards, the staff will invite all those who want to bid on the same item to a private room, where a professional auctioneer will give a detailed explanation. In this way, there is no need to laugh at the competition and being watched by others during the auction.
Time passed, and many people were invited into the private room.
Jin Yu was wandering around aimlessly, but actually it wasn't really wandering around aimlessly. She was looking for Mo Wenqian while observing the surroundings, but those standing around were all basic staff.
After walking around for half an hour, she did not see Mo Wenqian, nor did she see anyone who looked like a manager.
There were only a few people left in the hall. She was wandering around this area without any clues. She stared at the picture of the Pearl Girl in front of her for a long time. She pondered for a few seconds and decided to go to the private room to take a look.
After leaving a card with her name on it, a staff member came up to her and gave her directions, "Miss, please follow me."
Jin Yu smiled, "Thank you for the trouble."
As she followed him up the stairs, she looked up and saw a familiar figure.
This time, she shouted without even thinking.
"Brother Chen Zhou."
The man on the second floor paused for a moment when he heard this.
The next moment, the man tilted his head, and a familiar face appeared in Jin Yu's eyes. Surprise instantly filled her whole heart.
"It's really you!"
Unlike her surprise, the man's eyes flashed with a hint of barely perceptible panic when he saw her, but he quickly covered it up well. "Ayu, why are you here?"
"I'll do it..."
Before she finished speaking, a woman in a white suit came towards her. When she saw her, her eyes were red. "Ahua..."
There was no one else here. Jin Yu was sure that she was talking to her, but she didn't know the person in front of her at all. She nodded slightly at the person in front of her.
"You must have mistaken me for someone else. My name is not Ah Hua..."
Tears rolled down the woman's eyes as she spoke with trembling lips.
"I know."
Jin Yu didn't understand even more.
When she encountered something, Jin Yu habitually looked in the direction of Lu Chenzhou. The tall man walked downstairs, but he did not help her out. Instead, he said softly, "I still have some things to finish. I will come to you after I finish everything here, okay?"
His voice and tone were still the same as six years ago. Although Jin Yu was puzzled as to why he was talking here, he still agreed.
"Okay, let's make an appointment next time."
Before leaving, Lu Chenzhou touched her head tenderly, just like he did when they were little, and said, "I'll apologize to you properly next time."
Afterwards, he glanced at the woman in the white suit inconspicuously. In just a few seconds, a layer of sinisterness floated across his deep eyes, but it was only for a moment, so fast that it could not be caught.
After Lu Chenzhou left, the woman took two steps forward, stared at Jin Yu and asked, "Is your mother's name Lin Huaping?"
