After hearing what Mr. Zhao said, Qian Meilin thought that the Zhao Jiabao he was talking about was not the child of the Zhao family, but meant that Zhao Jiabao had committed a crime and was kicked out of the family.
She sneered, "Want to distance yourself from me? It's not that easy!"
"Let's forget about the bits and pieces of money that Lin Yuanzhi spent on Zhao Jiabao in the past few years." Qian Meilin flipped through the account book and said, "Let me first calculate how much of the large amount of our savings he embezzled in the past two years was spent on Zhao Jiabao!"
Lin Yuanzhi's face became paler and paler, cold sweat broke out on his back. He reached out his hand weakly to pull Qian Meilin, but she slapped him away.
She flipped open the most recent account and pointed with her finger, "Lin Yuanzhi, you suddenly spent 10,000 yuan a while ago. What did you do with it?"
Ten thousand dollars?
When Jiang Suishun heard this number, she and Song Weizheng looked at each other silently, and they both thought of something at the same time.
Lin Yuanzhi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Meilin, let's talk about this when we get home. Don't talk about this in front of other people. When we get home, I'll explain everything to you. There are reasons for all this."
Qian Meilin said bluntly, "No way! I'm going to say it right here! You haven't had any social engagements lately and haven't bought a house yet. I can't figure out where you need to take out 10,000 yuan all at once. If you don't explain it clearly, neither of us will be able to leave today."
She leisurely found a seat and sat down, as if she was going to stay there.
The two elders of the Zhao family frowned and looked unhappy. Their good life was ruined by these people.
"Mr. Lin, you should solve your own family affairs. Why are you causing trouble in our Zhao family?!"
Lin Yuanzhi paused, then reluctantly told Zhao Jiabao that Zhao Jiabao had taken 10,000 yuan from him before.
He also said: "Jiabao said that as long as he used 10,000 yuan to shut them up, everything would be fine, but who would have thought that he would be implicated and taken to the Public Security Bureau."
"Humph!" Zhao Weiguo sneered, "Why do you think he needs this ten thousand yuan, and why did he go to the Public Security Bureau?"
He told Lin Yuanzhi about Zhao Jiabao's murder, and Lin Yuanzhi turned pale again.
He couldn't help but look at Song Weizheng and thought, it's over, now his own son will dislike him even more.
After hearing this, Qian Meilin felt sorry for the 10,000 yuan and also felt it was ironic. She sneered and said, "Lin Yuanzhi, Zhao Jiabao is really your precious son. You are willing to spend 10,000 yuan on him. But unfortunately, 10,000 yuan can't keep him!"
"I don't care about your business. I only care about when you will make up the 10,000 yuan for our Qian family. And you need to explain to me clearly where each sum of money that was embezzled went!"
Lin Yuanzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead and was speechless for a long time.
He could still say that the 10,000 yuan was for Zhao Jiabao, but the money he embezzled before was all for his own connections. How could he say that in public?
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Ms. Qian, I know where your 10,000 yuan is."
Everyone looked over and saw that it was Jiang Suishun who weakly raised his hand and spoke.
Zhao Qianyun asked with wide eyes, "Sui Sui, what's going on?"
Jiang Suinsui didn't explain much, only saying that the 10,000 yuan was collected by the police when they investigated the case: "Ms. Qian, the 10,000 yuan is in the Public Security Bureau. You just need to confront Zhao Jiabao with the account book and confirm that it is correct, and you should be able to get the money back."
After saying that, she and Song Weizheng looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they had considered the 10,000 yuan to be a hot potato before this, so they simply handed it over to the public security comrades.
Although I was severely reprimanded by the police, fortunately I no longer have to worry about it.
Qian Meilin was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect this to happen. Her tone softened and she said, "Well, I know where the 10,000 yuan went. At least I can get it back."
"Then the rest..." Qian Meilin wanted to continue to settle the accounts, but was interrupted by Zhao Weiguo, "The dispute between your Qian family and the Lin family cannot be blamed on our Zhao family. I tell you the truth, Zhao Jiabao is not a member of our Zhao family. You can ask Lin Yuanzhi for the specifics. I'm sorry that we can't tell you anything else. You have disturbed us for long enough, so we will not keep you here any longer."
He personally stepped forward to escort Qian Meilin and Lin Yuanzhi out.
Qian Meilin found out the whereabouts of the ten thousand yuan, and her mood was a little better. In addition, the tall and strong Zhao Wei stood in front of her and tried to send her away, so Qian Meilin didn't dare to say anything more. She simply snorted coldly and turned away.
Lin Yuanzhi naturally had no objection. His mind was now fully occupied with the fact that the Qian family had discovered that he had misappropriated his deposits. He had no intention of thinking about anything else. After being pushed by Zhao Weiguo, he staggered out of the door.
After driving the two unrelated people out of the Zhao family, the situation was finally clear.
Old Madam Zhao patted Zhao Qinglan's hand in a comforting manner and said, "Qinglan, ignore those two people when you see them in the future! They are not good people! Especially Lin Yuanzhi, don't be fooled by his sweet words."
Zhao Qinglan smiled faintly and said, "I don't even remember what they look like. I wouldn't be able to recognize them even if I met them."
Seeing that she really didn't care at all, Mrs. Zhao felt relieved.
If there was any good thing about her amnesia, it was that she completely forgot about Lin Yuanzhi and Qian Meilin, and forgot the pain she had experienced twenty years ago.
Old Mrs. Zhao would rather she keep forgetting it and never think about it again.

After a few days of turmoil over recognizing their relatives, Jiang Suishun and Song Weizheng's lives finally calmed down again.
Zhao Qinglan and Song Yuxue were taken back to live with the Zhao family, and the Zhao family also helped Song Yuxue find a good primary school for her to continue her studies.
At first, the Zhao family wanted to change her surname to Zhao, but after discussing with Zhao Qinglan and asking Song Yuxue's opinion, they finally decided not to change it.
After Jiang Suinsui learned about this, a guess suddenly flashed through her mind. The original novel mentioned that the heroine Jiang Miaomiao saw Song Yuxue in future lives and changed her name to Zhao Ruyan.
This Zhao...could it be...
Jiang Suisui thought, maybe in the previous life, Song Weizheng and Xiaoxue also found their relatives by accident... It's just a pity that Zhao Qinglan was gone before that time...
Looking at the gentle and beautiful Zhao Qinglan in this life, and Song Yuxue who still retained her innocence, she couldn't help but feel fortunate in her heart. Fortunately, everything is at its best.
As for Song Weizhen, he declined the Zhao family's invitation and continued to live in school as before, coming and going freely and living a simple and unpretentious life.
He has grown up and shouldered a lot when he was young. Now he has grown into an adult who can stand on his own without any help.
The restored family affection is a touch of embellishment to him, but it is not indispensable.
The two elders of the Zhao family were helpless with this grandson who was cold, hard and straightforward, and could only pour all their love on Song Yuxue and their future grandson's wife, Jiang Suinsui.
Old Mrs. Zhao learned from Zhao Qianyun that Jiang Suisui was her good friend in the same dormitory and the girl who had been entangled by Zhao Jiabao.
Old Mrs. Zhao recalled the groundless speculations she had made about Jiang Suinsui because of Zhao Jiabao, and she suddenly felt ashamed.
Such a good girl, born in a humble family but excellent and generous, is a good girl worth cherishing in any family. She still remembered how much she admired Jiang Suisui when they met by chance at the Great Wall, but who knew that later on, she had a bad guess about this person in her heart because of Zhao Jiabao's matter.
In order to make up for the guilt in her heart, and also because Jiang Suinsui was the one chosen by her grandson, Mrs. Zhao treated Jiang Suinsui as her own granddaughter.
Even Zhao Qianyun felt a little envious and joked that she, his own granddaughter, had no status.
Jiang Suinsui also felt helpless about Mrs. Zhao's enthusiasm. She didn't expect that in this era, although she was essentially an orphan, she did have two grandmothers who loved her very much.
Thinking of Song Wei Zheng, who looked as if he didn't want anyone to approach him, she gave his share back as a filial gift, which made Mrs. Zhao even happier.
From Old Lady Zhao, Jiang Suinsui also learned about some follow-up situations of Zhao Jiabao and others.
Zhao Jiabao was still waiting at the police station for someone to rescue him, but Lin Yuanzhi forgot about him after learning that he was not his biological son. It is said that Zhao Jiabao will probably spend a few years in prison, and what happens to him after he is released is none of the Zhao family's business.
As for the gangsters related to Zhao Jiabao, it is said that they are all being detained in the Public Security Bureau and they will probably not be released for several years.
Uncle Zhong, who deceived the Zhao family, also received the punishment he deserved. The Zhao family took back all the conveniences. All the work of Uncle Zhong's family was previously arranged by the Zhao family, but now it is all gone. Even the house of Uncle Zhong's family was given by the Zhao family. After it was taken back, Uncle Zhong's family had nowhere to go.
This is not the end. Song Wei Zheng secretly tricked Uncle Zhong into investing a large sum of money in gambling. In the end, he lost everything. In the end, he reported to the police and put Uncle Zhong in jail on the charge of gambling.
Lin Yuanzhi was in a mess because of the Qian family and the bank. It was said that Qian Meilin divorced him after returning home, which caused quite a stir. Qian Meilin also asked him to return the embezzled money or she would report him to the police station.
Not long after the Qian family withdrew a large amount of deposits, Lin Yuanzhi's bank could no longer sustain itself and went bankrupt.
He sold his properties and collections to make up for the shortfall in his financial situation, and from then on he became destitute and penniless.
Lin Yuanzhi was unwilling to give up. After he fell into poverty, he came to the Zhao family several times, wanting to see Zhao Qinglan, recall her memory, and at the same time establish a relationship with the Zhao family.
However, in Zhao Qinglan's eyes, he was always an unrelated stranger. Zhao Qinglan could not remember him and had no interest in remembering him.
Lin Yuanzhi even tried to find Song Weizheng, but he was so scared when he just looked at him and raised his fist that he pissed his pants and dared not to provoke this cold-hearted biological son again.
After being driven away by the Zhao family several times, Lin Yuanzhi gradually disappeared without a trace.
But not long after, Zhao Qinglan, whose life had become peaceful, unexpectedly met Qian Meilin while taking a walk outside.
